Attempted resolution of the Claim in accordance with this Section A.4.2.1 is a condition precedent to mediation of any Claim arising prior to the date final payment is due, unless thirty (30) days have passed after the receiving party received the Claim and either party was unable or unwilling to meet. Any resolution of the Claim at this or any other stage shall be reduced to writing. § A.4.3 MEDIATION § A.4.3.1 Any Claim arising out of or related to the Design-Build Contract, except those waived as provided for in Sections A.4.1.10, A.9.10.4 and A.9.10.5, shall, after the parties have met to discuss the Claim in accordance with Section 4.2.1, but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Claim was received by the receiving party, be subject to mediation as a condition precedent to litigation. § A.4.4 If the enactment or revision of codes, laws or regulations or official interpretations which govern the Project cause an increase or decrease of the Design-Builder's cost of, or time required for, performance of the Work, the Design-Builder shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in Contract Sum or Contract Time. If the Owner and Design-Builder cannot agree upon an adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, the Design-Builder shall submit a Claim pursuant to Section A.4.1. ARTICLE A.5 AWARD OF CONTRACTS § A.5.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Design-Build Documents or the bidding or proposal requirements, the Design- Builder, as soon as practicable after award of the Design-Build Contract, shall furnish in writing to the Owner the names of additional persons or entities not originally included in the Design-Builder's proposal or in substitution of a person or entity (including those who are to furnish design services or materials or equipment fabricated to a special design) proposed for each principal portion of the Work. The Owner will promptly reply to the Design- Builder in writing stating whether or not the Owner has reasonable objection to any such proposed additional person or entity. Failure of the Owner to reply within fourteen (14) days of Owner's receipt of Design-Builder's list of names shall constitute notice of no reasonable objection. § A.5.2 The Design-Builder shall not contract with a proposed person or entity to whom which the Owner has made reasonable and timely objection. The Design-Builder shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Design-Builder has made reasonable objection. § A.5.3 if the Owner has reasonable objection to a person or entity proposed by the Design-Builder, the Design- Builder shall propose another to whom the Owner has no reasonable objection. [f the proposed but rejected person or entity was reasonably capable of performing the Work, the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be increased or decreased by the difference, if any, occasioned by such change, and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued before commencement of the substitute person's or entity's Work. However, no increase in the Contract Sum or Contract Time shall be allowed for such change unless the Design-Builder has acted promptly and responsively in submitting names as required. Design-Builder shall have acted promptly and responsively if Design-Builder submitted the name(s) of such additional person(s) or entity(ies) to Owner within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date Design-Builder receives Owner's objection. § A.5.4 The Design-Builder shall not change a person or entity previously selected if the Owner makes reasonable objection to such substitute. § A.5.5 CONTINGENT ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS § A.5.5.1 Each agreement for a portion of the Work is assigned by the Design-Builder to the Owner provided that: .1 assignment is effective only after termination of the Design-Build Contract by the Owner for cause pursuant to Section A.14.2 and only for those agreements which the Owner accepts by notifying the contractor in writing; and .2 assignment is subject to the prior rights of the surety, if any, obligated under bond relating to the Design-Build Contract. § A.5.5.2 Upon such assignment, if the Work has been suspended for more than 30 days, the Contractor's compensation shall be equitably adjusted for increases in cost resulting from the suspension. ARTICLE A.6 CONSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR BY SEPARATE CONTRACTORS § A.6.1 OWNER'S RIGHT TO PERFORM CONSTRUCTION AND TO AWARD SEPARATE CONTRACTS § A.6.1.1 The Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operations related to the Project with the Owner's own forces and to award separate contracts in connection with other portions of the Project or other construction or operations on the site. The Design-Builder shall cooperate with the Owner and separate contractors whose work might interfere with the Design-Builder's Work. If the Design-Builder claims that delay or additional cost is involved because of such action by the Owner, the Design-Builder shall make such Claim as provided in Section A.4.1. § A.6.1.2 The term "separate contractor" shall mean any contractor retained by the Owner pursuant to Section A.6.1.1. § A.6.1.3 The Owner shall provide for coordination of the activities of the Owner's own forces and of each separate contractor with the work of the Design-Builder, who shall cooperate with them. The Design-Builder shall participate with other separate contractors and the Owner in reviewing their construction schedules when directed to do so. The Design-Builder shall make any revisions to the construction schedule deemed necessary after a joint review and mutual agreement. The construction schedules shall then constitute the schedules to be used by the Design-Builder, separate contractors and the Owner until subsequently revised. § A.6.2 MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY § A.6.2.1 The Design-Builder shall afford the Owner and separate contractors reasonable opportunity for introduetJOn and storage of their materials and equipment and performance of their activities and shall connect and coordinate the Design-Builder's construction and operations with theirs as required by the Design-Build Documents. § A.6.2.2 If part of the Design-Builder's Work depends for proper execution or results upon design, construction or operations by the Owner or a separate contractor, the Design-Builder shall, prior to proceeding with that portion of the Work, promptly report to the Owner apparent discrepancies or defects in such other construction that would render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Failure of the Design-Builder so to report shall constitute an acknowledgment that the Owner's or separate contractor's completed or partially completed construction is fit and proper to receive the Design-Builder's Work, except as to defects not then reasonably discoverable. § A.6.2.3 The Owner shall be reimbursed by the Design-Builder for costs incurred by the Owner which are payable to a separate contractor because of delays, improperly timed activities or detective construction of the Design- Builder. The Owner shall be responsible to the Design-Builder for costs incurred by the Design-Builder because of delays, improperly timed activities, damage to the Work or detective construction of a separate contractor. § A.6.2.4 The Design-Builder shall promptly remedy damage wrongfully caused by the Design-Builder to completed or partially completed construction or to property of the Owner or separate contractors. § A.6.2.5 Should Design-Builder cause damage to the work or property of any separate contractor and/or in the event of any other claim, dispute or matter in question between Design-Builder and any separate contractor, Design- Builder shall promptly attempt to settle with such separate contractor by agreement, or otherwise attempt to resolve the dispute. § A.6.3 OWNER'S RIGHT TO CLEAN UP § A.6.3.1 [f a dispute arises among the Design-Builder, separate contractors and the Owner as to the responsibility under their respective contracts for maintaining the premises and surrounding area free from waste materials and rubbish, the Owner may clean up and the Owner shall allocate the cost among those responsible. ARTICLE A.7 CHANGES IN THE WORK § A.7.1 GENERAL § A.7.1.1 Changes in the Work may be accomplished atter execution of the Design-Build Contract, and without invalidating the Design-Build Contract, by Change Order or Change Request, subject to the limitations stated in this Article A.7 and elsewhere in the Design-Build Documents. § A.7.1.2 A Change Order shall be based upon agreement between the Owner and Design-Builder. A Change Request may be issued by the Owner with or without agreement by the Design-Builder, subject to the terms and conditions expressed herein. § A.7.1.3 Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Design-Build Documents, and the Design-Builder shall proceed promptly, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order or Change Request. § A.7.2 CHANGE ORDERS § A.7.2.1 A Change Order is a written instrument signed by the Owner and Design-Builder stating their agreement upon all of the following for the item covered in that Change Order: .1 a change in the Work; .2 the amount of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum; and .3 the extent of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Time. § A.7.2.2 If the Owner requests a proposal for a change in the Work from the Design-Builder and subsequently elects not to proceed with the change, a Change Order shall be issued to reimburse the Design-Builder for any costs incurred for estimating services, design services or preparation of proposed revisions to the Design-Build Documents. § A.7.2.3 Methods used in determining adjustments to the Contract Sum may include those listed in Section A.7.3.3 § A.7.3 CHANGE REQUESTS § A7.3.1 A Change Request is a written request signed by the Owner requesting a change~:•in the Work prior to agreement on adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both. The Owner may by Change Request, without invalidating the Design-Build Contract, request changes in the Work within the general scope of the Design-Build Documents consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, the Contract Sum and Contract Time being adjusted accordingly. § A.7.3.2 A Change Request shall be used in the absence of total agreement on the terms of a Change Order for any changes valued under $10,000 § A.7.3.3 If the Change Request provides for an adjustment to the Contract Sum, the adjustment shall be based on one of the following methods: .1 mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation; .2 unit prices stated in the Design-Build Documents or subsequently agreed upon, or equitably adjusted as provided in Section A.4.19; .3 cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually acceptable fixed or percentage fee; or .4 as otherwise agreed in writing. § A.7.3.4 Upon receipt of a Change Request, the Design-Builder may temporarily proceed with the change in the Work involved and advise the Owner of the Design-Builder's agreement or disagreement with the method, if any, provided in the Change Request for determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time. § A.7.3.5 A Change Request signed by the Design-Builder indicates the agreement of the Design-Builder therewith, including adjustment in Contract Sum and Contract Time or the method for determining them for the item covered in that Change Request. Such agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded as a Change Order. § A.7.3.6 [f the Design-Builder disagrees with the method for adjustment in the Contract Sum, the method and the adjustment shall be initially determined and Design-Builder paid on the basis of reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the Work attributable to the change, including, in case of an increase in the Contract Sum, a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit of five percent (5%). In such case, and also under Section A.7.3.3.3, the Design-Builder shall keep and present, in such form as the Owner may reasonably prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data. Unless otherwise provided in the Design-Build Documents, costs for the purposes of this Section A.7.3.6 shall be limited to the following: .1 additional costs of professional services; .2 costs of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment insurance, fringe benefits required by agreement or custom, and workers' compensation insurance; .3 costs of materials, supplies and equipment, including cost of transportation, whether incorporated or consumed; .4 rental costs of machinery and equipment, exclusive of hand tools, whether rented from the Design- Builder or others; .5 costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance, permit fees, and sales, use or similar taxes to Work; and .6 additional costs of supervision and field office personnel directly attributable to the change. § A.7.3.7 The amount of credit to be allowed by the Design-Builder to the Owner for a deletion or change that results in a net decrease in the Contract Sum shall be actual net cost. When both additions and credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of net increase, if any, with respect to that change. § A.7.3.8 Pending final determination of the total cost of a Change Request to the Owner, amounts not in dispute for such changes in the Work shall be included in Applications for Payment accompanied by a Change Order indicating the parties' agreement with part or all of such costs. For any portion of such cost that remains in dispute, the parties shall make an interim determination for purposes of monthly payment for those costs in accordance with § A.7.3.6. That determination of cost shall adjust the Contract Sum on the same basis as a Change Order, subject to the right of the either party to disagree and assert a Claim in accordance with Article A.4. § A.7.3.9 When the Owner and Design-Builder reach agreement concerning the adjustments in the Contract Sum and r... Contract Time, or otherwise reach agreement upon the adjustments, such agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded by preparation and execution of an appropriate Change Order. § A.7.4 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK § A.7.4.1 The Owner shall have authority to order minor changes in the Work that the Design-Builder agrees do not require an adjustment in the Contract Sum or extension of the Contract Time and are not inconsistent with the intent of the Design-Build Documents. Such changes shall be effected by written order and shall be binding on the Owner and Design-Builder. If the Design Builder agrees that such changes do not require adjustment in the Contract Sum or extension of the Contract Time, the Design-Builder shall carry out such written orders promptly. ARTICLE A.8 TIME § A.8.1 DEFINITIONS § A.8.1.1 Unless otherwise provided, the Contract Time is the period of time, including authorized adjustments, allotted in the Design-Build Documents for Substantial Completion of the Work. § A.8.1.2 The date of commencement of the Work shall be the date stated in the Agreement unless provision is made for the date to be fixed in a notice to proceed issued by the Owner. § A.8.1.3 The date of Substantial Completion is the date determined by the Owner in accordance with Section A.9.8. § A.8.1.4 The teen "day" as used in the Design-Build Documents shall mean calendar day unless otherwise specifically defined. § A.8.2 PROGRESS AND COMPLETION § A.8.2.1 Time limits stated in the Design-Build Documents are of the essence of the Design-Build Contract. By executing the Design-Build Contract, the Design-Builder confirms that the Contract Time is a reasonable period for performing the Work. § A.8.2.2 The Design-Builder shall not, except by agreement or instruction of the Owner in writing, prematurely commence construction operations on the site or elsewhere prior to the effective date of insurance required by Article A.l I to be furnished by the Design-Builder and Owner. The date of commencement of the Work shall not be changed by the effective date of such insurance. Unless the date of commencement is established by the Design- Build Documents or a notice to proceed given by the Owner, the Design-Builder shall notify the Owner in writing not less than five days or other agreed period before commencing the Work to permit the timely filing of mortgages, mechanic's liens and other security interests. § A.8.2.3 The Design-Builder shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve Substantial Completion within the Contract Time. § A.8.3 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME § A.8.3.1 If the Design-Builder is delayed at any time in the commencement or progress of the Work by an act or neglect of the Owner or of a separate contractor employed by the Owner, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by occurrences beyond the control of Design-Builder and without the fault or negligence of Design-Builder, based upon the standard of care at the place of the project. including labor disputes, fire, unusual delay in deliveries not reasonably anticipated, unavoidable casualties or other causes beyond the Design-Builder's control, or by delay authorized by the Owner pending resolution of disputes pursuant to the Design-Build Documents, or by other causes which justify delay, then the Contract Time shall be extended by Change Order for the length of delay actually and directly caused by such occurrence. Design-Builder shall in the event of any occurrence likely to cause delay, cooperate in good faith with Owner to minimize and mitigate the impact of any such occurrence and do all things reasonable under the circumstances to achieve this goal. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, extension of time provided for the completion of the Work shall be Design-Builder's sole remedy for delay, unless the same shall have been caused by acts constituting intentional interference by Owner with Design-Builder's performance of the Work and where to the extent that such acts of Owner continue after Design-Builder's notice to Owner of such interference. § A.8.3.2 Claims relating to time shall be made in accordance with applicable provisions of Section A.4.1.7. § A.8.3.3 This Section A.8.3 does not preclude recovery of damages for delay by either party under other provisions of the Design-Build Documents. ARTICLE A.9 PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION § A.9.1 CONTRACT SUM § A.9.1.1 The Contract Sum is stated in the Design-Build Documents and, including authorized adjustments, is the total amount payable by the Owner to the Design-Builder for performance of the Work under the Design-Build Documents. § A.9.2 SCHEDULE OF VALUES § A.9.2.1 Before the first Application for Payment, where the Contract Sum is based upon a Stipulated Sum, the Design-Builder shall submit to the Owner an initial schedule of values allocated to various portions of the Work which in the aggregate equals the total Contract Sum, prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Owner may reasonably require. This schedule, unless objected to by the Owner, shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Design-Builder's Applications for Payment. The schedule of values may be updated periodically to reflect changes in the allocation of the Contract Sum. § A.9.3 APPLICATIONS FOR PAYMENT § A.9.3.1 At least ten days before the date established for each progress payment, the Design-Builder shall submit to the Owner an itemized Application for Payment for operations completed in accordance with tl~e current schedule of values. Such application shall be notarized, if required, and supported by such data substantiating the Design- Builder's right to payment as the Owner may require, such as copies of requisitions from Contractors and material suppliers, and reflecting retainage if provided for in the Design-Build Documents: Any allowances included in an Application for Payment shall be separately itemized with supporting data attached. The Application for Payments shall accompanied by Design-Builder conditional "down date" waiver and release of liens and claims. § A.9.3.1.1 As provided in Section A.7.3.8, such applications may include requests for payment on account of Changes in the Work which have been properly authorized by Change Requests but are not yet included in Change Orders. § A.9.3.1.2 Such applications may not include requests for payment for portions of the Work for which the Design- Builder does not intend to pay to a Contractor or material supplier or other parties providing services for the Design- Builder, unless such Work has been performed by others whom the Design-Builder intends to pay. § A.9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Design-Build Documents, payments shall be made on account of materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the Work. If approved in advance by the Owner, payment may similarly be made for materials and equipment suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing. Payment for materials and equipment stored on or off the site shall be conditioned upon compliance by the Design-Builder with procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the Owner's title to such materials and equipment or otherwise protect the Owner's interest and shall include the costs of applicable insurance, storage and transportation to the site for such materials and equipment stored off the site. § A.9.3.3 The Design-Builder agrees that title to all Work covered by an Application for Payment will pass to the Owner no later than the time of payment. The Design-Builder further agrees that, upon submittal of an Application for Payment, all Work for which Certificates for Payment have been previously issued and payments received from the Owner shall, to the best of the Design-Builder's knowledge, information and belief, be free and clear of liens, Claims, security interests or encumbrances in favor of the Design-Builder, Contractors, Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or entities making a claim by reason of having provided labor, materials and equipment relating to the Work. § A.9.3.4 Any materials and equipment stored off-site shall be stored in a bonded warehouse or other storage facility approved by Owner with the stored materials tagged or otherwise identified as relating to this Project and segregated from other materials. The Owner's written approval shall be obtained before Design-Builder stores materials or equipment in an off-site facility. Owner's approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. § A.9.4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT § A.9.4.1 The Owner shall, within seven (7) days after receipt of the Design-Builder's Application for Payment, issue to the Design-Builder a written acknowledgement of receipt of the Design-Builder's Application for Payment indicating the amount the Owner has determined to be properly due and, if applicable, the specifiic reasons for withholding payment in whole or in part. § A.9.5 DECISIONS TO WITHHOLD PAYMENT § A.9.5.1 The Owner may withhold a payment in whole or in part to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the Owner due to the Owner's determination that the Work has not progressed to the point indicated in the Application for Payment or that the quality of Work is not in accordance with the Design-Build Documents. The Owner may also withhold a payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence, may nullify the whole or a part of an Application for Payment previously issued to such extent as may be necessary to protect the Owner from loss for which the Design-Builder is responsible, including loss resulting from acts and omissions, because of the following: .1 defective Work not remedied; .2 third-party claims filed unless security acceptable to the Owner is provided by the Design-Builder; .3 failure of the Design-Builder to make payments properly to Contractors or for design services labor, materials or equipment; .4 reasonable evidence from athird-party expert and provide in writing to Design-Builder confirming that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum; .5 damage to the Owner or a separate contractor caused solely by Design-Builder not covered by insurance; .6 reasonable evidence from athird-party expert and provide in writing that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time and that the unpaid balance would not be adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages for the anticipated delay; or .7 persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Design-Build Documents. § A.9.5.2 The Owner shall pay Design-Builder any amount withheld from an Application for Payment within three (3) calendar days after the removal or correction of the reason(s) identified in Owner's written acknowledgment of receipt as the basis for Owner's decision to withhold payment. § A.9.6 PROGRESS PAYMENTS § A.9.6.1 After the Owner has issued a written acknowledgement of receipt of the Design-Builder's Application for Payment, the Owner shall make payment of the amount, in the manner and within the time provided in the Design- Build Documents. § A.9.6.2 The Design-Builder shall promptly pay the Architect, each design professional and other consultants retained directly by the Design-Builder, upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out of the amount paid to the Design-Builder on account of each such party's respective portion of the Work, the amount to which each such party is entitled pursuant to the teens and conditions of any agreement or contract between said parties. § A.9.6.3 The Design-Builder shall promptly pay each Contractor, upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out of the amount paid to the Design-Builder on account of such Contractor's portion of the Work, the amount to which said Contractor is entitled pursuant to the terms and conditions of any agreement or contract between said parties, reflecting percentages actually retained from payments to the Design-Builder on account of the Contractor's portion of the Work. The Design-Builder shall, by appropriate agreement with each Contractor, require each Contractor to make payments to Subcontractors in a similar manner. § A.9.6.4 The Owner shall have no obligation to pay or to see to the payment of money to a Contractor except as may otherwise be required by law. § A.9.6.5 Payment to material suppliers shall be treated in a manner similar to that provided in Sections A.9.6.3 and A.9.6.4. § A.9.6.6 A progress payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner, shall not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Design-Build Documents. § A.9.6.7 Unless the Design-Builder provides the Owner with a payment bond in the full penal sum of the Contract Sum, payments received by the Design-Builder for Work properly performed by Contractors and suppliers shall be held by the Design-Builder for those Contractors or suppliers who performed Work or furnished materials, or both, under contract with the Design-Builder for which payment was made by the Owner. Nothing contained herein shall require money to be placed in a separate account and not be commingled with money of the Design-Builder, nor create any fiduciary liability or tort liability on the part of the Design-Builder for breach of trust, nor entitle any person or entity to an award of punitive damages against the Design-Builder for breach of the requirements of this provision. § A.9.7 FAILURE OF PAYMENT § A.9.7.1 If for reasons other than those enumerated in Section A.9.5.1, the Owner does not issue a payment within the time period required by Section 5.1.3 of the Agreement, then the Design-Builder may, following seven (7) days' written notice to the Owner, stop the Work until payment of the amount owing has been received. The Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and the Contract Sum shall be increased by the amount of the Design- Builder's reasonable costs of shutdown, delay and start-up, plus interest as provided for in the Design-Build Documents. § A.9.8 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION § A.9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Design-Build Documents so that the Owner can occupy or use the Work or a portion thereof for its intended use. The Work will not be considered suitable for Substantial Completion review until (i) all Project systems included in the Work are operational as designed and scheduled, and (ii) all designated, or required govermnental inspections and certifications have been made and posted. § A.9.8.2 When the Design-Builder considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the Design-Builder shall prepare and submit to the Owner a comprehensive list of items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment. Failure to include an item on such list does not alter the responsibility of the Design-Builder to complete all Work in accordance with the Design-Build Documents. § A.9.8.3 Upon receipt of the Design-Builder's list, the Owner shall make an inspection to determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the Owner's inspection discloses any item, whether or not included on the Design-Builder's list, which is not substantially complete, the Design-Builder shall complete or correct such item. In such case, the Design-Builder shall then submit a request for another inspection by the Owner to determine whether the Design-Builder's Work is substantially complete. § A.9.8.4 When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Design-Builder shall prepare for the Owner's signature an Acknowledgement of Substantial Completion which, when signed by the Owner, shall establish (1) the date of Substantial Completion of the Work, (2) responsibilities between the Owner and Design- Builder for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and (3) the time within which the Design-Builder shall finish all items on the list accompanying the Acknowledgement. When the Owner's inspection discloses that the Work or a designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Owner shall sign the Acknowledgement of Substantial Completion. Warranties required by the Design-Build Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Acknowledgement of Substantial Completion. § A.9.8.5 Upon execution of the Acknowledgement of Substantial Completion and consent of surety, if any, the Owner shall make payment of retainage applying to such Work or designated portion thereof. Such payment shall be adjusted for Work that is incomplete or not in accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents. § A.9.9 PARTIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE § A.9.9.1 The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially completed portion of the Work at any stage when such portion is designated by separate agreement with the Design-Builder, provided such occupancy or use is consented to by the insurer, if so required by the insurer, and authorized by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Work. Such partial occupancy or use may commence whether or not the portion is substantially complete, provided the Owner and Design-Builder have accepted in writing the responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments, retainage, if any, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and have agreed in writing concerning the period for completion or correction of the Work and commencement of warranties required by the Design-Build Documents. When the Design-Builder considers a portion substantially complete, the Design-Builder shall prepare and submit a list to the Owner as provided under Section A.9.8.2. Consent of the Design-Builder to partial occupancy or use shall not be unreasonably withheld. The stage of the progress of the Work shall be determined by written agreement between the Owner and Design-Builder. § A.9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner and Design-Builder shall jointly inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used to determine and record the condition of the Work. § A.9.9.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial occupancy or use of a portion or portions of the Work shall not constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents. § A.9.10 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT § A.9.10.1 Upon receipt of written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and upon receipt of a final Application for Payment, the Owner shall reasonably promptly make such inspection and, when the Owner finds the Work acceptable under the Design-Build Documents and fully performed, the Owner shall, subject to Section A.9.10.2, reasonably promptly make final payment to the Design-Builder. § A.9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage will become due until the Design-Builder submits to the Owner (1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the Owner or the Owner's property might be responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld by Owner) have been paid or will be otherwise satisfied, (2) a certificate evidencing that insurance required by the Design-Build Documents to remain in force after final payment is currently in effect and will not be cancelled or allowed to expire until at least 30 days' prior written notice has been given to the Owner, (3) a written statement that the Design-Builder knows of no substantial reason that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by the Design-Build Documents, and (4) if required by the Owner, conditional releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the Design-Build Contract. If a Contractor refuses to furnish a conditional release or waiver required by this Section A.9.10.2, the Design-Builder shall furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify the Owner against such lien or claim or lien. If such lien remains unsatisfied after payments are made, the Design-Builder shall refund to the Owner all money that the Owner may be liable to pay in connection with the discharge of such lien, including all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.

ARTICLE A.12 UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK § A.12.1 UNCOVERING OF WORK § A.12.1.1 if a portion of the Work is covered contrary to requirements specifically expressed in the Design-Build Documents, it must be uncovered for the Owner's examination and be replaced at the Design-Builder's expense without change in the Contract Time. § A.12.1.2 If a portion of the Work has been covered which the Owner has not specifically requested to examine prior to its being covered, the Owner may request to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by the Design-Builder. If such Work is in accordance with the Design-Build Documents, costs of uncovering and replacement shall, by appropriate Change Order, be at the Owner's expense. If such Work is not in accordance with the Design-Build Docwnents, correction shall be at the Design-Builder's expense unless the condition was caused by the Owner or a separate contractor, in which event the Owner shall be responsible for payment of such costs. § A.12.2 CORRECTION OF WORK § A.12.2.1 BEFORE OR AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION. § A.12.2.1.1 The Design-Builder shall promptly correct Work rejected by the Owner or failing to conform to the requirements of the Design-Build Documents, whether discovered before or after Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed. Costs of correcting such rejected Work, including additional testing, shall be at the Design-Builder's expense. § A.12.2.2 AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION § A.12.2.2.1 In addition to the Design-Builder's obligations under Section A.3.5, if, within one (1) year after the date of Substantial Completion or after the date for commencement of warranties established under Section A.9.8.4 or by terms of an applicable special warranty required by the Design-Build Documents, any of the Work is found to be not in accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents, the Design-Builder shall correct it promptly after receipt of written notice from the Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously given the Design-Builder a written acceptance of such condition. The Owner shall give such notice promptly after discovery of the condition. If the Owner fails to notify the Design-Builder before the end of the one (1) year wan-anty period and give the Design- Builder an opportunity to make the correction, the Owner waives its right to require correction by the Design- Builder and to make a claim for breach of warranty. If the Design-Builder fails to correct non-conforming Work within a reasonable time during that period after receipt of notice from the Owner, the Owner may correct it in accordance with Section A.2.5. Where a manufacturer's or third party warranty has been provided to Owner, Owner agrees that Design-Builder will have no further liability with respect to the subject of the manufacturer's or third party warranty after the one year period referenced above and Owner agrees to look solely to such manufacturer or third party for any warranty claim with respect to such items and hereby specifically releases Design-Builder of and from any such warranty claims. § A.12.2.2.2 The one-year period for correction of Work shall be extended with respect to portions of Work first performed after Substantial Completion by the period of time between Substantial Completion and the actual performance of the Work. § A.12.2.2.3 The one-year period for correction of Work shall not be extended by corrective Work performed by the Design-Builder pursuant to this Section A.12.2. § A.12.2.3 The Design-Builder shall remove from the site portions of the Work which are not in accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents and are neither corrected by the Design-Builder nor accepted by the Owner. § A.12.2.4 The Design-Builder shall bear the cost of correcting destroyed or damaged construction, whether completed or partially completed, of the Owner or separate contractors caused by the Design-Builder's correction or removal of Work which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents. § A.12.2.5 Nothing contained in this Section A.12.2 shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to other obligations the Design-Builder might have under the Design-Build Documents. Establishment of the one- year period for- correction of Work as described in Section A.12.2.2 relates only to the specific obligation of the Design-Builder to correct the Work, and has no relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply with the Design-Build Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish the Design-Builder's liability with respect to the Design-Builder's obligations other than specifically to correct the Work. The corrective remedies set forth in this Paragraph 12.2 are not exclusive and shall not deprive the Owner of any action, right or remedy otherwise available of it for breach of any of the provisions of Design-Build Documents. § A.12.3 ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK § A.12.3.1 If the Owner prefers to accept Work not in accordance with the requirements of the Design-Build Documents, the Owner may do so in writing instead of requiring its removal and correction, in which case the Contract Sum will be equitably adjusted by Change Order. Such adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made.

The Design-Builder shall give timely notice of when and where tests and inspections are to be made so that the Owner may be present for such procedures. The conduct of any inspection or test and the receipt of any approval shall not operate to relieve the Design-Builder from its obligations under the Contract Documents unless specifically so stated by Owner in writing. § A.13.5.2 If the Owner or public authorities having jurisdiction determine that portions of the Work require additional testing, inspection or approval not included under Section A.13.5.1, the Owner shall in writing instruct the Design-Builder to make arrangements for such additional testing, inspection or approval by an entity acceptable to the Owner, and the Design-Builder shall give timely notice to the Owner of when and where tests and inspections are to be made so that the Owner may be present for such procedures. Such costs, except as provided in Section A.13.5.3, shall be at the Owner's expense. § A.13.5.3 If such procedures for testing, inspection or approval under Sections A.13.5.1 and A.13.5.2 reveal failure of the portions of the Work to comply with requirements established by the Design-Build Documents, all costs made necessary by such failure, including those of repeated procedures, shall be at the Design-Builder's expense. § A.13.5.4 Required certificates of testing, inspection or approval shall, unless otherwise required by the Design- Build Documents, be secured by the Design-Builder and promptly delivered to the Owner. § A.13.5.5 If the Owner is to observe tests, inspections or approvals required by the Design-Build Documents, the Owner will do so promptly and, where practicable, at the normal place of testing. § A.13.5.6 Tests or inspections conducted pursuant to the Design-Build Documents shall be made promptly to avoid unreasonable delay in the Work. § A.13.6 The Design-Build Contract contains the entire agreement between Design-Builder and Owner, and no prior oral statements or prior written matter not specifically incorporated in the Design-Build Documents shall be of any force or effect. The Design-Build Contract may not be modified except by written document executed by both parties. § A.13.7 If any provision of the Design-Build Contract is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable, and the Design-Build Contract shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision is not a part thereof, and the remaining provisions of the Design-Build Contract shall remain in full force and effect. § A.13.8 The parties acknowledge that each party and, if it so chooses, its counsel have reviewed and revised the Design-Build Contract and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved, against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Design-Build Contract or any amendments or exhibits thereto. § A.13.9 All section headings in the Design-Build Contract are for convenience of reference only, are not part of the Design-Build Contract, and no construction or interference shall be derived therefrom.

September 17, 2008 Via Email and US Mail Mr. SkipperJones Project Manager 3519 Liberty Drive Pearland, Texas 77581 RE: University of Houston Clear Lake Pearland Campus & Conference Center Building City of Pearland, Texas Dear Skipper: The purpose of this letter is to extend the validity of our proposal on the subject project through September 22, 2008. In accordance with the original proposal requirements, our price was to be good for 60 days. The original valid period was from June 26, 2008 through August 26, 2008. As you requested and in effort to move the project forward without any immediate change in cost impact, we are extending our proposal as stated above. Please note that the contract time will be maintained from the actual commencement through substantial completion with the full amount of days as stated in the original proposal. In other words, as soon as the actual start date is determined we will revise our schedule based on the duration in our proposal to determine the new revised date of substantial completion. We have carefully analyzed market conditions and market forecast for the 4"' Quarter of 2008, 152 Quarter of 2009 and have determined that there will be significant price escalation in certain materials and equipment effective October, 2008 and January 1, 2009. As we discussed, should the project be delayed beyond September 22, 2008 we recommend increasing the contract contingency by $323,000.00 to cover the anticipated material and equipment price escalations. Please refer to the original estimated project schedule included in our proposal (Sec. 8 ). Please note under Shell and Interior "Bid and Award", that in both cases such delay will change our ability to lock into the purchase of materials and equipment from the 42h Quarter of 2008 to the 152 Quarter of 2009. We will follow up with a list of trade line items and descriptions with a breakdown of cost that represents the detail of the anticipated January 1 price escalation totaling $323,000.00. It is our recommendation in order to avoid further cost and delay that we move forward as quickly as possible. We stand ready to assist the City of Pearland and the University of Houston in any way we can in these matters and will work hard to avoid as much of these increases as we move forward.

Has the water pressure and volume been tested? If so, can we get a copy of the results? Response: Anew sanitary line and a new water line are being run to the site, as indicated on the drawings. There is no information on the water pressure at this point. 6. Will the City require the project to be platted for permitting? Response: The City is in the process of platting the site, and will provide the plat when it is completed. 7. Is the Project in a beautification zone? Response: DB should ask City of Pearland Planning and Zoning Department. 8. Does the City tree ordinance apply to the DB Team or Owner. Response: Yes, as noted in response to question 21. 9. Who pays for impact fees, assessment costs, or capital recovery expense Respo~:se: None will be assessed, since this is a City project. 10. Who pays for taps and meters? Response: The City will not charge for tie-ins to the water and sewer. Fees for electrical and gas will be determined by Centerpoint Energy. 11. Would the City consider waiving permit fees? Response: None will be assessed, since this is a City project. 12. Where is the Power and Telephone tie-ins located? At what point of the Centerpoint easement?

ADDENDUM N0.2 nn4nn_~ June 11, 2008 DESIGN-BUILD OF UHCL CAMPUS AND CONFERENCE CENTER BLDG. Huitt-Zollars, Inc. 14. Section 1.5 of 01100 notes all internal building communications, cable and equipment to be by separate contract. Is this a correct statement`? Are there any other scope items under separate contract? Response: A11 internal building communications, cable and equipment, EXCEPT THE BACKBONE, as noted in Section OI015, paragraph 13, will be under separate contract. The backbone system is a part of this contract. Furniture is also not included in this contract. 15. To what extent is the pond to be developed? For example, is this just a pond with gradua! earth sloped edges with no treatment to the perimeter? Response: This is up to the designer. However, we had planned this as just a pond with gradual earth sloped edges and no treatment to the perimeter. It is intended that this pond be aerated, and be used for on-site retention/detention. 16. "I'o what extent or length does the walkway lend out from the exhibit area? Response: The sidewalk extends to the steps, down the steps, and includes the landing pad. End the sidewalk here. In the future (not in this contract), the sidewallc will be extended to the parking lot. 17. Are we responsible to include cubicle workstation partitions such as those in the Faculty Suite. If so, what type? Response: No 18. Is there a LEED check list for the conceptual design? Beside the 24 points listed on the LEED requirement, Section 01352, is there any other point this project is pursuing, especially on Sustainable Site? Response: No, It is up to the Design/Builder to determine what credits he pursues to get certification. 19. LEED Credit 5.lwhich was listed on Section 01352, "to limit site disturbance to 40' beyo~id the building perimeter, 10' beyond surface walkways, patio, and parking". "I'o qualify, is the development of cascades, plaza and pond limited to 40' beyond building perimeter on the first phase?, Response: This would have to be checked with the USGBC. It may not be possible to get all the credits listed in Section 01352. See response to 18. 20. On Section 01015, Item 6.3.1 states that building should be on 3'-0" high "plinth" above BFE of 43.8 feet; and item 5.2.3 states that parking should be at min. BFE 43.8.

ADDENDUM N0.2 nngnn_~ June 11, 2p08 DESIGN-BUILD OF UHCL CAMPUS AND CONFERENCE CENTER BLDG. Huitt-Zollars, Inc. 21. Ordinance required tree replacement on or off-site for every tree removed, does it apply to this project? If yes, is there a tree survey for the site? Response: Replacement of protected trees, as defined on the City's web site, is required. However, the vast majority of trees on this site are Tallow trees, which are not protected. An uiventory of trees has not been performed. A landscape plan is required. 22. Is there an environmental report? Who established the wetlands area? Are the wetlands are mitigated? Response: Yes, there is an environmental report byBerg-Oliver Associates, Inc., establishing the extent of the Wetlands. The site plan provided does not disturb any of the wetlands. See also response to question 37. 23. Can we use ground water for irrigation? Response: We know of no reason not to, as long as all local, state, and federal regulations are met. We are not sure why this question is asked or exactly what it means. 24. Electrical room in the main building is not large enough for the main switchboard. Is an outdoor switchboard located in the mechanical yard acceptable? Response: The Electrical Room can be adjusted in size during design. UH has requested moving the Tele/Data Room, so a rearrangemendresizing of the Tele/Data Room, Electrical Room, Janitors Closet, and Storage will allow the Electrical Room to be enlarged. Switchboard should be inside if at all possible. 25. The Conference Center and Director's Offtce building have no mechanical rooms. Service of the entire building from one mechanical room will be very difficult. Is roof mounted equipment acceptable for these areas? Response: As conceived, the Packaged Central Plant will provide everything but the air handlers. Three air handlers, one serving the Conference Center/Director's Office, and two serving the classroom wing, should be all that is required in the Mechanical Roorn. Use of roof-mounted equipment is not allowed. This can be further addressed during design. 26. Will the recycling area identified on the drawings be utilized for bottles or contain any compaction what will require a sanitary drain? Response: It will be a collection area, and not contain any compaction equipment. 27. We are anticipating the gas company to provide service to a gas meter located in the mechanical yard. The cost to provide the service to the meter will be paid by the Owner and not included. Please confirm. ADDENDUM ND. 2 nn~nn_a June 7 t, 2008 DESIGN-BUILD OF UHCL CAMPUS AND CONFERENCE CENTER BE_DG.

Response: They should be the same. The BFE is from FEMA., and the survey was performed by C. L. Davis. The contractor can verify with the surveyor, if necessary, and make any necessary adjustments. 30. Is the site located in a Regional Detention zone, i.e., will detention be required for this site? Response: Detention will be required for this site. We suggest using the pond at the patio for all or part of this detention. 31. Does the City of Pearland have any requirements based on EPA/TPDES Phase II permits? Response: The City requires a SWPPP and a NOI for construction activities. 32. The site plan shows what looks like water main stub outs crossing Pearland Parkway to the site? Are those existing? Response: Although they are not in place yet, they will be constructed by the City duru--g the next few months, and will be in place for this project. 33. The survey shows roadway easements crossing the site. Are these being abandoned? Response: Yes 34. What are the specific City requirements for construction within the 100-year flood plain. Response: The DB should contact the Building Department to ascertain this. Requirements basically consist of mitigation of fill and a minimum pad elevation. However, the RFP requirements should be snore stringent on the minimum elevation, and the RFP shall be followed. 35.

Pond refit[ strategy and groundwater use permit, is there one? Use of domestic water? Response: This information should be generated by the DB. See also response to questions l5, 23, and 30. 40. Is the pond a part of detention requirement number? Response: That is the intent. 41. Assumed existing tree replacement number and existing tree survey? Response: See question 21. This information should be generated by the D/B. 42. Will the answers be addressed in a formal addendum, not just an a-mail? Response: Yes. 43.

See Regulations sections 301.7701-6(a) and 7(a) for additional information. Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners' share of income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership income. The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States is in the following cases: • The U.S. owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity, For federal tax purposes, you are considered a person if you are: Cat. No. 10231X Form W- (Rev. 11-2005) Form W-9 (Rev. 11-2005) • The U.S. grantor or other owner of a grantor trust and not the trust, and • The U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust. Foreign person. If you are a foreign person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities). Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a "saving clause." Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the recipient has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes. If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items: 1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien. 2. The treaty article addressing the income. 3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions. 4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax. 5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article. Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualities for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption. If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8. What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 28% of such payments (after December 31, 2002). This is called "backup withholding." Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, and certain payments from fishing boat operators.
