which one he has used in formulating his proposal.

which have received prior approval by addendum.
F. Substitutions: Besides the "base bid," any equipment or material supplier and any contractor or
subcontractor may, at his option, submit a substitute price and product for any item specified which he
feels warrants consideration by the Owner. This proposed substitution is to be listed where indicated on
the bid form.
G. Any proposed substitute submitted by a Bidder shall include the amount by which the "base bid" would
be increased or decreased.
H. The Owner may accept or reject any substitute proposed. In determining the low Bidder, the Owner will
not consider substitutes.

the Owner, a realistic method of analyzing and scheduling each component of the work. It must
show when all trades or crafts start and finish their work. This schedule must be reviewed at least

Contractor submits the first payment request.
B. The Contractor shall issue subcontracts as mutually agreed between the Owner and the Contractor. A
complete list of subcontractors and major suppliers including names, addresses and telephone numbers is

technical or trade meanings are used therein in accordance
with such recognized meanings.

absent from one statement and appears in another is not
intended to affect the interpretation of either statement.

property of Owner. Contractor will not use these documents
on any other project. Contractor may retain one copy of the
Drawings and the Project Manual as a contract record set
and will return or destroy all remaining copies following final
completion of the Work.
SECTION 2 - OWNER
2.1 OWNER’S DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE
Owner will designate in writing a representative who will
have express authority to bind Owner with respect to all
matters requiring Owner’s approval or authorization.
2.2 INFORMATION AND SERVICES REQUIRED OF OWNER
A. Owner will be responsible for establishment of property
lines and benchmarks for grading.
B. Owner will furnish to Contractor any information or services
it is required to furnish under the Contract Documents with
reasonable promptness to avoid delay in the orderly
progress of the Work.
C. Owner will furnish to Contractor a reasonable number of
copies of the Drawings, the Project Manual, and the
Addenda.
2.3 OWNER'S RIGHT TO INSPECT THE WORK
Owner and its representatives will have the right to inspect
any portion of the Work wherever located at any time.
2.4 OWNER'S RIGHT TO STOP THE WORK
If Contractor fails to carry out the Work in accordance with
the Contract Documents or fails to correct Work which is
not in accordance with the Contract Documents in a timely
manner, Owner may order Contractor in writing to stop the
Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for that order
has been eliminated.
SECTION 3 - CONTRACTOR
3.1 REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND FIELD
CONDITIONS BY CONTRACTOR
A. By executing the Agreement, Contractor represents that it
has visited the Project site, familiarized itself with the local
conditions under which the Work is to be performed, and
correlated its own observations with the requirements of the
Contract Documents.
B. Contractor will carefully review and compare the Contract
Documents and any other available information relating to
the Project prior to commencing and during performance of
each portion of the Work and will immediately report to
Architect any errors, inconsistencies, and omissions it
discovers.
C. Should Contractor or any of its Subcontractors become
aware of any question regarding the meaning or intent of
any part of the Contract Documents prior to commencing
that portion of the Work about which there is a question,
Contractor will request an interpretation or clarification from
Architect before proceeding. Contractor proceeds at its own
risk if it proceeds with the Work without first making such a
request and receiving an interpretation or clarification from
Architect. If neither Contractor nor its Subcontractors
become aware of the question until after work on the
relevant portion of the Work has commenced, then the
following precedence will govern for purposes of
determining whether resolution of the question constitutes a
Change in the Work:
1. The Agreement takes precedence over all other
Contract Documents.
2. The Supplementary Conditions take precedence over
the General Conditions.
3. The General Conditions and Supplementary
Conditions take precedence over the Drawings and
the Specifications.
4. An Addendum or a Modification take precedence over
the document(s) modified by the Addendum or
Modification.
Updated 1/15 – Revision 04 Page 3 General Conditions
5. The Specifications take precedence over the Drawings.
6. Within the Drawings, larger scale drawings take prece-
dence over smaller scale drawings, figured dimensions
over scaled dimensions, and noted materials over
graphic indications.
D. Contractor will give Architect notice of any additional
drawings, specifications, or instructions required to define the
Work in greater detail, or to permit the proper progress of the
Work, sufficiently in advance of the need for information so as
not to delay the Work.
E. It is not Contractor's responsibility to ascertain that the
Contract Documents are in accordance with requirements of
applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, rules
and regulations. However, if Contractor observes that
portions of the Contract Documents are at variance with those
requirements, Contractor will immediately notify Architect in
writing. Contractor will not proceed unless Owner and/or
Architect effects Modifications to the Contract Documents
required for compliance with such requirements. Contractor
will be fully responsible for any work knowingly performed
contrary to such requirements and will fully indemnify Owner
against loss and bear all costs and penalties arising
therefrom.
F. Contractor will take field measurements and verify field
conditions and will compare such field measurements and
conditions and other information known to Contractor with the
Contract Documents before ordering any materials or
commencing construction activities. Contractor will
immediately report errors, inconsistencies, and omissions that
it discovers to Architect. If Contractor orders materials or
commences construction activities before taking field
measurements and verifying field conditions, Contractor will
not be entitled to any compensation for additional costs to
Contractor resulting from field measurements or conditions
different from those anticipated by Contractor which would
have been avoided had Contractor taken field measurements
and verified field conditions prior to ordering the materials or
commencing construction activities.
G. If site conditions indicated in the Contract Documents or other
information provided by Owner or Architect to Contractor
differ materially from those Contractor encounters in perfor-
mance of the Work, Contractor will immediately notify
Architect in writing of such differing site conditions.
3.2 SUPERVISION OF CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES
A. Contractor will supervise and direct the Work. Contractor will
be solely responsible for all construction means, methods,
techniques, sequences, and procedures and for coordinating
all portions of the Work. All loss, damage, liability, or cost of
correcting defective work arising from the use of any
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures will be borne by Contractor, notwithstanding that
such construction means, methods, techniques, sequences
or procedures are referred to, indicated or implied by the
Contract Documents, unless Contractor has given timely
notice to Owner and Architect in writing that such means,
methods, techniques, sequences or procedures are not safe
or suitable, and Owner has then instructed Contractor in
writing to proceed at Owner’s risk.
B. Contractor will utilize its best skill, efforts, and judgment to
provide efficient business administration and supervision, to
furnish at all times an adequate supply of workers and
materials, and to perform the Work in an expeditious and
economical manner consistent with the interests of Owner.
C. Contractor will be responsible for:
1. The proper observance of property lines and set back
requirements as shown in the Contract Documents;
2. The location and layout of the Work as shown in the
Contract Documents with respect to the position of the
Work on the property and the elevation of the Work in
relation to grade; and
3. Setting and maintaining construction stakes.
D. Contractor will be responsible to Owner for the acts and
omissions of its employees and Subcontractors as well as
persons either directly or indirectly employed by
Subcontractors.
E. Contractor will not be relieved of its obligation to perform
the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents as a
result of any tests, inspections, or approvals by Owner,
Architect or their consultants.
F. Contractor will be responsible for inspection of portions of
the Work already completed to determine that such
portions are in proper condition to receive subsequent
portions of the Work.
3.3 LABOR AND MATERIALS
A. Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents,
Contractor will provide and pay for all labor, materials,
equipment, tools, water, heat, utilities, transportation, and
other facilities and services necessary for the proper
execution and completion of the Work.
B. Contractor will at all times enforce strict discipline and good
order among those performing the Work and will not permit
employment of any unfit person or anyone not skilled in the
tasks assigned to them.
C. Contractor is fully responsible for the Project and all
materials and work connected therewith until Owner has
accepted the Work in writing. Contractor will replace or
repair at its own expense any materials or work damaged
or stolen, regardless of whether it has received payment for
such work or materials from the Owner.
D. Contractor will remedy all damage or loss to any property
caused in whole or in part by Contractor, any Subcon-
tractor, or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be
liable.
E. Contractor will be responsible for determining that all
materials furnished for the Work meet all requirements of
the Contract Documents. Architect may require Contractor
to produce reasonable evidence that a material meets such
requirements, such as certified reports of past tests by
qualified testing laboratories, reports of studies by qualified
experts, or other evidence which, in the opinion of Architect,
would lead to a reasonable certainty that any material used,
or proposed to be used, in the work meets the requirements
of the Contract Documents. All such data will be furnished
at Contractor’s expense. This provision will not require
Contractor to pay for periodic testing of different batches of
the same material, unless such testing is specifically
required by the Contract Documents to be performed at
Contractor’s expense.
F. Contractor will coordinate and supervise the work
performed by Subcontractors so that the Work is carried
out without conflict between trades and so that no trade, at
any time, causes delay to the general progress of the Work.
Contractor and all Subcontractors will at all times afford
each trade, any separate contractor, or Owner, reasonable
opportunity for the installation of Work and the storage of
materials.
G. Contractor warrants to Owner that the materials and equip-
ment furnished for the Work will be new unless otherwise
specified by the Contract Documents, and that the Work will
be free from defects, and will conform with the require-
Updated 1/15 – Revision 04 Page 4 General Conditions
ments of the Contract Documents. Work not conforming to
these requirements, including substitutions not properly
approved and authorized, may be considered defective in the
discretion of Owner. If required by Architect, Contractor will
furnish satisfactory evidence as to the kind and quality of the
materials and equipment used in performing the Work.
H. Owner may elect to purchase materials required for the Work.
In that event, Contractor will comply with the procedures set
forth in the Contract Documents relating to such materials.
3.4 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
Contractor will comply with all applicable laws, ordinances,
rules, regulations, and orders of any public authorities relating
to performance of the Work.

compensation, unemployment, old age pension, surtax, and
similar taxes assessed in connection with the performance of
the Work.
B. Owner will pay all taxes and assessments on the real
property comprising the Project site.
3.6 PERMITS AND FEES
A. Owner will obtain and pay for all zoning and use permits and
permanent easements necessary for completion of the Work.
B. Contractor will obtain and pay for the building permit, and all
other permits, governmental fees, licenses and inspections
necessary for the proper execution and completion of the
Work.
C. Contractor will secure any certificates of inspection and of
occupancy required by authorities having jurisdiction over the
Work. Contractor will deliver these certificates to Architect
prior to issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion
by Architect.
3.7 CONTRACTOR'S ON-SITE REPRESENTATIVE
Contractor will employ a competent representative
acceptable to Owner to supervise the performance of the
Work. This representative will be designated in writing by
Contractor prior to commencement of work and will not be
changed prior to Final Inspection of the Work without prior
written consent of Owner. This representative will represent
Contractor for all purposes, including communication with
Owner.
3.8 CONTRACTOR'S CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES
A. Contractor will prepare and submit for Owner's and
Architect's information Contractor's construction schedule for
the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract
Documents.
B. Contractor will prepare and maintain a Submittal schedule
which is coordinated with Contractor's construction schedule
and sets forth specified times for Architect to review
Submittals.
3.9 DOCUMENTS AND SUBMITTALS AT THE SITE
Contractor will keep at the Project site for use by Owner,
Architect, or their representatives, a record copy of the
Project Manual, the Drawings, all Addenda, and all Modifica-
tions. These documents will be maintained in good order and
currently marked to record changes and selections made
during construction. In addition, Contractor will keep at the
Project site one copy of all Submittals.
3.10 SUBMITTALS
A. Submittals are not Contract Documents and do not alter the
requirements of the Contract Documents unless incorporat-
ed into the Contract Documents by a Modification.
B. Contractor will review, approve, and submit to Architect
Submittals in accordance with the Contract Documents. By
approving Submittals, Contractor represents that it has
determined and verified field measurements, field
construction criteria, materials, catalog numbers, and
similar data, and that it has checked and coordinated each
Submittal with the requirements of the Work and of the
Contract Documents or will make such determination,
verification, check, and coordination prior to commencing
the relevant portion of the Work. In reviewing Submittals
Architect will be entitled to rely upon Contractor’s
representation that such information is correct and
accurate.
C. Contractor will inform Architect in writing at the time of
submission of any Submittal or portion thereof which
deviates from the requirements of the Contract Documents.
Contractor will provide Architect with documentation
demonstrating to Architect that the Submittal is equal to or
better than the specified product or work. Contractor will
not be relieved of responsibility for deviations from the
requirements of the Contract Documents by Architect’s
acceptance of a Submittal unless Contractor has informed
Architect in writing of the deviation and Architect has
incorporated the deviation into the Contract Documents by
a Modification.
D. Contractor will not perform any portions of the Work
requiring Submittals until the respective Submittal has been
reviewed and accepted in writing by Architect.
E. When professional certification of performance criteria of
materials, systems or equipment is required by the Contract
Documents, Owner will be entitled to rely upon such
certifications, and neither Owner nor Architect will be
expected to make any independent examination with
respect thereto.
F. Submittals not required by the Contract Documents may be
returned to Contractor without action.
3.11 CUTTING AND PATCHING
Contractor will be responsible for any cutting, fitting, and
patching that may be required to complete the Work and
make its parts fit together properly.
3.12 ACCESS TO WORK
Contractor will permit Owner, Architect their representatives
and consultants access to the Work wherever located at
any time.
3.13 ROYALTIES AND PATENTS
Contractor will pay all royalties and license fees required by
the Work or by Contractor's chosen method of performing
the Work. Contractor will defend and hold Owner harmless
from all suits or claims for infringement of any patent,
license or other intellectual property rights or any loss on
account thereof.
3.14 INDEMNIFICATION
Updated 1/15 – Revision 04 Page 5 General Conditions
A. Contractor will indemnify and hold harmless Owner and
Owner's representatives, employees, agents, architects, and
consultants from and against any and all claims, damages,
liability, demands, costs, judgments, awards, settlements,
causes of action, losses and expenses (collectively “Claims”
or “Claim”), including but not limited to attorney fees,
consultant fees, expert fees, copy costs, and other expenses,
arising out of or resulting from performance of the Work,
attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease, or death, or to
injury to or destruction of real or personal property, including
loss of use resulting therefrom, except to the extent that such
liability arises out of the negligence of Owner, its
representatives, agents, and employees. This indemnity
includes, without limitation, indemnification of Owner from all
losses or injury to Owner’s property, except to the extent that
such loss or injury arises out of the negligence of Owner, its
representatives, agents, and employees. This indemnity
applies, without limitation, to include Claims occurring both
during performance of the Work and/or subsequent to
completion of the Work. In the event that any Claim is
caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder, that party
will bear the cost of such Claim to the extent it was the cause
thereof. In the event that a claimant asserts a Claim for
recovery against any party indemnified hereunder, the party
indemnified hereunder may tender the defense of such Claim
to Contractor. If Contractor rejects such tender of defense
and it is later determined that the negligence of the party
indemnified hereunder did not cause all of the Claim,
Contractor will reimburse the party indemnified hereunder for
all costs and expenses incurred by that party in defending
against the Claim. Contractor will not be liable hereunder to
indemnify any party for damages resulting from the sole
negligence of that party.
B. In addition to the foregoing, Contractor will be liable to defend
Owner in any lawsuit filed by any Subcontractor relating to
the Project. Where liens have been filed against Owner's
property, Contractor (and/or its bonding company which has
issued bonds for the Project) will obtain lien releases and
record them in the appropriate county and/or local jurisdiction
and provide Owner with a title free and clear from any liens of
Subcontractors. In the event that Contractor and/or its
bonding company are unable to obtain a lien release, Owner
in its absolute discretion may require Contractor to provide a
bond around the lien or a bond to discharge the lien, at
Contractor's sole expense.
C. In addition to the foregoing, Contractor will indemnify and
hold Owner harmless from any claim of any other contractor
resulting from the performance, nonperformance or delay in
performance of the Work by Contractor.
D. The indemnification obligation herein will not be limited by a
limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation
or benefits payable by or for Contractor or a Subcontractor
under worker's compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or
other employee benefit acts.
3.15 PROJECT MEETINGS
Contractor will attend and participate in meetings as required
by the Contract Documents.
SECTION 4 - ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACT
4.1 ARCHITECT
In the event that Owner terminates its contractual relationship
with Architect, Owner will appoint in writing another architect,
whose status under the Contract Documents will be that of
the former Architect in all respects.
4.2 ARCHITECT'S ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACT
A. Architect will make frequent visits to the site to familiarize
itself generally with the progress and quality of the Work
and to determine if the Work is proceeding in accordance
with the Contract Documents. Although Architect is
required to make periodic inspections, it is not required to
make exhaustive or continuous onsite inspections. On the
basis of its observations while at the site, Architect will keep
Owner informed of the progress of the Work and will
endeavor to guard Owner against defects and deficiencies
in the Work. Architect’s failure to observe a defect or
deficiency in the Work will not relieve Contractor of its duty
to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Docu-
ments.
B. Architect will review Contractor's payment requests and
determine the amounts due Contractor in accordance with
Section 9.
C. Communications between Contractor and Owner relating to
the Work will be through Architect. Communications
between Owner or Contractor with Architect’s consultants
relating to the Work will be through Architect.
Communications between Owner or Architect and
subcontractors relating to the Work will be through
Contractor. Communications between Contractor and any
separate contractor will be through Architect, except as
otherwise specified in the Contract Documents.
D. Architect will have the right to condemn and require
removal of the following at Contractor's expense:
1. Any portion of the Work that does not meet the
requirements of the Contract Documents.
2. Any portion of the Work damaged or rendered unsuit-
able during installation or resulting from failure to
exercise proper protection.
E. Architect will have authority to stop the Work, with
concurrence of Owner, whenever such stoppage may be
necessary in its reasonable opinion to insure the proper
performance of the Work.
F. Architect will review Contractor’s Submittals and will accept
or take other appropriate action regarding the Submittals.
Architect's review of the Submittals will be for the limited
purpose of checking for general conformance with the
Contract Documents and will not be conducted for the
purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of
details such as dimensions and quantities, or for substan-
tiating instructions for installation or performance of
equipment or systems, all of which remain the responsibility
of Contractor. Architect's review of Submittals will not
relieve Contractor of its obligations under the Contract
Documents. Architect's review of Submittals will not
constitute acceptance of safety precautions or construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures.
Architect's acceptance of a specific item will not indicate
acceptance of an assembly of which the item is a compo-
nent.
G. Architect has authority to order Construction Change
Directives and Field Changes in accordance with Section 7.
H. Architect will conduct inspections to determine the dates of
Substantial Completion and final completion, will receive
and review written guarantees and related documents
required by the Contract and assembled by Contractor, and
will review and certify or reject Contractor's final payment
request.
I. Architect will be the interpreter of the performance and
requirements of the Contract Documents. Architect's
interpretations will be in writing or in the form of drawings.
Updated 1/15 – Revision 04 Page 6 General Conditions
J. Architect's decisions in matters relating to artistic effect will be
final if consistent with the Contract Documents.
SECTION 5 - SUBCONTRACTORS

WORK
A. Contractor will enter into contracts with Subcontractors to
perform all portions of the Work that Contractor does not
customarily perform with its own employees.
B. Contractor will not contract with any Subcontractor who has
been rejected by Owner. Contractor will not be required to
contract with any Subcontractor against whom it has a
reasonable objection.
C. If Owner refuses to accept any Subcontractor proposed by
Contractor, Contractor will propose an acceptable substitute
to whom Owner has no reasonable objection.
D. Contractor will not make any substitution for any Subcon-
tractor that has been accepted by Owner and Architect
without the prior written approval of Owner and Architect.
5.2 SUBCONTRACTUAL RELATIONS
A. Contractor's responsibility for the Work includes the labor and
materials of all Subcontractors, including those recommend-
ed or approved by Owner. Contractor will be responsible to
Owner for proper completion and guarantee of all
workmanship and materials under any subcontracts. Any
warranties required for such work will be obtained by
Contractor in favor of Owner and delivered to Architect. It is
expressly understood and agreed that there is no contractual
relationship between Owner and any Subcontractor, and
under no circumstances will Owner be responsible for the
non-performance or financial failure of any Subcontractor or
any effects therefrom.
B. Contractor agrees to pay the Subcontractors promptly upon
receipt of payment from Owner for that portion of the funds
received which represents the Subcontractor's portion of the
Work completed to Contractor's satisfaction for which Owner
made payment.
C. Contractor will require each Subcontractor to:
1. Be licensed by the state in which the Project is located
where such licensing is required by the governing
authority;
2. Be bound by the terms of the Contract Documents as far
as they are applicable to the Subcontractor's work;
3. Assume toward Contractor the same obligations
Contractor has assumed toward Owner, including the
prompt payment of its Subcontractors;
4. Submit its applications for payment to Contractor in time
to permit Contractor to make timely application to
Owner;
5. Execute claim or lien releases or lien waivers for
payments made by Contractor; and
6. Make all claims for Changes in the Work to Contractor in
the same manner as Contractor is required to make
such claims to Owner.
SECTION 6 - CONSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR
BY SEPARATE CONTRACTORS
6.1 OWNER'S RIGHT TO PERFORM WORK OR AWARD
SEPARATE CONTRACTS
A. Owner reserves the right to perform work itself or to award
separate contracts in connection with the Project.
B. When separate contracts are awarded, "Contractor" in the
Contract Documents in each case will mean the contractor
who signs each separate contract.
6.2 MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY
A. Contractor will afford other contractors reasonable
opportunity to place and store their materials and equip-
ment on site and to perform their work and will properly
connect and coordinate its Work with theirs where
applicable.
B. If any part of Contractor's Work depends upon the work of
any separate contractor for proper performance or results,
Contractor will inspect and promptly report to Architect any
apparent discrepancies or defects in such work that render
it unsuitable for proper performance and results. Failure of
Contractor to so inspect and report will constitute an
acceptance of the work of the separate contractor as fit and
proper to receive Contractor's Work, except as to defects
not then reasonably discoverable.
C. Contractor will promptly remedy damage caused by
Contractor or any Subcontractor to the completed or
partially completed work of other contractors or to the
property of Owner or other contractors.
6.3 OWNER'S RIGHT TO CLEAN UP
If a dispute arises among Contractor and separate contrac-
tors as to the responsibility under their separate contracts
for maintaining the Project free from waste materials and
rubbish, Owner may clean the Project, allocate the cost
among those responsible as Owner and Architect
determine to be just, and withhold such cost from any
amounts due or to become due to Contractor.
SECTION 7 - CHANGES IN THE WORK
7.1 CHANGES IN THE WORK RESULTING FROM AN
INSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR ARCHITECT TO
CONTRACTOR
A. If Owner or Architect gives Contractor an instruction that
modifies the requirements of the Contract Documents or
delays Substantial Completion, Contractor may be entitled
to an adjustment in the Contract Sum and/or the Contract
Time. If compliance with the instruction affects the cost to
Contractor to perform the Work, the Contract Sum will be
adjusted to reflect the reasonable increase or decrease in
cost subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.1,
Paragraphs B through G. If compliance with the instruction
delays Substantial Completion, the Contract Time will be
extended for a period of time commensurate with such
delay subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.1,
Paragraphs B through G and Section 7.3, Paragraph A and
Contractor will be paid liquidated damages for the delay as
set forth in Section 7.3, Paragraph B.
B. If Contractor receives an instruction from Owner or
Architect that Contractor considers to be a Change in the
Work, Contractor, before complying with the instruction, will
notify Architect in writing that Contractor considers such
instruction to constitute a Change in the Work. If Architect
agrees that compliance with the instruction will constitute a
Change in the Work, Contractor will furnish a proposal for a
Modification in accordance with Section 7.1, Paragraphs C.
and D. within ten (10) days.
C. If Contractor claims that it is entitled to an adjustment in the
Contract Sum (including without limitation costs related to a
time extension) as a result of an instruction by Owner or
Architect, Contractor will furnish a proposal for a Change
Order containing a price breakdown itemized as required
by Owner. The breakdown will be in sufficient detail to
Updated 1/15 – Revision 04 Page 7 General Conditions
allow Owner to determine any increase or decrease in Direct
Costs as a result of compliance with the instruction. Any
amount claimed for subcontracts will be supported by a
similar price breakdown and will itemize the Subcontractor’s
profit and overhead charges. Profit and overhead will be
subject to the following limitations:
1. The Subcontractor’s profit and overhead will not exceed
twelve (12) percent of its Direct Costs.
2. Contractor’s profit and overhead on Subcontractor’s
work will not exceed five (5) percent.
3. Contractor's profit and overhead on work performed by
its own crews will not exceed ten (10) percent of its
Direct Costs.
4. Contractor's profit and overhead mark up on work per-
formed by its Subcontractors will not exceed five (5)
percent of the Subcontractors’ charges for such work.
5. Amounts due Owner as a result of a credit change will
be the actual net savings to Contractor from the Change
in the Work as confirmed by Architect. On credit
changes, profit and overhead on the originally estimated
work will not be credited back to Owner. If both
additions and credits are involved in a single Change in
the Work, overhead and profit will be figured on the
basis of net increase, if any, related to that Change in
the Work.
D. If Contractor claims that it is entitled to an adjustment in the
Contract Time as a result of an instruction from Owner or
Architect, Contractor will include in its proposal justification to
support Contractor's claim that compliance with the
instruction will delay Substantial Completion.
E. Upon receipt of Contractor’s proposal for Modification,
Architect and Owner will determine whether to proceed with
the Change in the Work. If Architect and Owner determine to
proceed with the Change in the Work, they will issue a
Change Order, a Construction Change Directive or a Field
Change as appropriate.
F. Contractor agrees that if it complies with an instruction from
Owner or Architect without first giving written notice to
Architect as provided in Section 7.1., Paragraph B, and
receiving a Change Order, Construction Change Directive or
Field Change, Contractor will not be entitled to any
adjustment in the Contract Sum or the Contract Time as a
result of the instruction and waives any claim therefor.
G. If Contractor is instructed to perform work which it claims
constitutes a Change in the Work but which Owner and
Architect do not agree constitutes a Change in the Work,
Contractor will comply with the instruction. Contractor may
submit its claim for adjustment to the Contract Sum, the
Contract Time, or both as a dispute pursuant to Section 13
within thirty (30) days after compliance with the instruction.
Contractor agrees that if it fails to submit its claim for
resolution pursuant to Section 13 within thirty (30) days after
compliance with the instruction, then Contractor will not be
entitled to any adjustment in the Contract Sum or the
Contract Time as a result of the instruction and waives any
claim therefor.
7.2 CHANGE IN THE WORK RESULTING FROM AN EVENT
OR CIRCUMSTANCE
A. If an event or circumstance other than an instruction from
Owner or Architect affects the cost to Contractor of
performing the Work or delays Substantial Completion,
Contractor may be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract
Sum and/or the Contract Time. If the circumstance or event
affects the cost to Contractor to perform the Work and is
caused by a willful or negligent act or omission of Owner or
Architect, the Contract Sum will be adjusted to reflect the
reasonable increase or decrease in Contractor’s cost to
perform the Work resulting from the event or circumstance,
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2, Paragraphs
B through F. If the event or circumstance delays
Substantial Completion and is described in Section 7.3,
Paragraph A, the Contract Time will be extended for a
period of time commensurate with such delay subject to the
conditions set forth in such section. If the circumstance or
event delays Substantial Completion and is caused by a
willful or negligent act or omission of Owner or Architect,
then Contractor will be compensated for costs incident to
the delay in accordance with Section 7.3, Paragraph B.
Contractor will not be entitled to any adjustment to the
Contract Sum or other damages from Owner as a result of
any event or circumstance unless the event or
circumstance results from a willful or negligent act or
omission of Owner or Architect.
B. If a Change in the Work results from any event or
circumstance caused by the willful or negligent act or
omission of Owner or Architect, Contractor will give Owner
Written Notice of such event or circumstance within twenty-
four (24) hours after commencement of the event or
circumstance so that Owner can take such action as is
necessary to mitigate the effect of the event or
circumstance. Contractor will not be entitled to any
adjustment in either the Contract Time or the Contract Sum
based on any damages or delays resulting from such event
or circumstance during a period more than twenty-four (24)
hours prior to Contractor giving such Written Notice to
Owner.
C. Contractor will submit in writing any claims for an
adjustment in the Contract Time and/or the Contract Sum
resulting from an event or circumstance within the time
limits set forth below. In the event that Contractor fails to
submit its claim in writing within the time limits set forth
below, then Contractor agrees it will not be entitled to any
adjustment in the Contract Time or the Contract Sum or to
any other damages from Owner due to the circumstance or
event and waives any claim therefor.
1. Claims for an adjustment in the Contract Time due to
inclement weather will be made by the tenth (10th) of
the month following the month in which the delay oc-
curred.
2. Claims for an adjustment in the Contract Time and/or
the Contract Sum due to any other circumstance or
event will be submitted within seven (7) days after the
occurrence of the circumstance or event.
D. If Contractor claims that it is entitled to an adjustment in the
Contract Sum (including without limitation costs related to a
time extension) because of an event or circumstance
resulting from the willful or negligent act or omission of
Owner or Architect, Contractor will furnish a proposal for a
Change Order containing a price breakdown as described
in Section 7.1, Paragraph C. Any amount claimed for
increased labor costs as a result of the event or
circumstance must be supported by a certified payroll. Any
claim for rented equipment or additional material costs
must be supported by invoices.
E. If Contractor claims that it is entitled to an adjustment in the
Contract Time as a result of an event or circumstance,
Contractor will include with its claim copies of daily logs,
letters, shipping orders, delivery tickets, Project schedules,
and other supporting information necessary to justify

SECTION 9 - PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION
9.1 SCHEDULE OF VALUES
Contractor will submit to Architect a schedule of values which
allocates the Contract Sum to various portions of the Work.
The schedule of values will be supported by such data to
substantiate its accuracy as required by Architect. This
schedule, when accepted by Owner and Architect, will be
used as a basis for reviewing Contractor's payment requests.
9.2 PAYMENT REQUESTS
A. Not more than once a month, Contractor will submit a
payment request to Architect for Work completed, materials
stored on the site, and for materials stored offsite as of the
date of the payment request. The amount of the payment
request will be based upon the schedule of values and will be
equal to the value of the Work completed:
1. Less retention amounts specified in Supplementary
Conditions;
2. Less all prior amounts paid by Owner to Contractor as
part of the Contract Sum; and
3. Less offsets allowed under Section 9.4.
The payment request may include Changes in the Work that
have been performed by Contractor and authorized by Owner
and/or Architect pursuant to Section 7. If a payment request
includes materials stored offsite, Contractor will include with
the payment request a list of the materials, the location where
they are stored and the written request of Contractor and its
performance bond surety that payment be made for such
materials.
B. Contractor warrants and guarantees that upon the receipt of
payment for materials and equipment, whether incorporated
in the Project or not, title to such materials and equipment will
pass to Owner free and clear of all liens, claims, security
interests, or encumbrances. Notwithstanding this payment
and passage of title, Contractor will remain responsible for all
such materials and equipment until actual delivery to the
project site, incorporation into the Work, and final acceptance
by Owner. Contractor further warrants that no material or
equipment covered by a payment request is subject to an
agreement under which an interest therein or an encum-
brance thereon is retained by the seller or any other person
or entity.
9.3 PAYMENT REQUEST CERTIFICATION
A. Architect will, within seven (7) days after receipt of
Contractor's payment request, forward to Owner the pay-
ment request certified for such amount as Architect
determines is properly due. If Architect certifies less than
the full amount of the payment request, Architect will notify
Contractor and Owner of Architect's reasons for withholding
certification of the full amount requested.
B. The certification of the payment request will constitute a
representation by Architect to Owner based upon
Architect's observations at the site and the data comprising
the payment request, that the Work has progressed to the
point indicated and that, to the best of Architect's
knowledge, information, and belief, the quality of the Work
is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The
foregoing representations are subject to an evaluation of
the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents
upon Substantial Completion, to results of subsequent tests
and inspections, to minor deviations from the Contract
Documents correctable prior to completion, and to specific
qualifications expressed by Architect. However, the
certification of the payment request will not constitute a
representation that Architect has:
1. Conducted exhaustive or continuous on-site inspec-
tions to check the quantity or quality of the Work;
2. Reviewed construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences, or procedures;
3. Reviewed copies of requisitions received from
Subcontractors or other data requested by Owner to
substantiate Contractor's right to payment; or

will be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of
the information furnished by Contractor.

PAYMENT
A. Architect may withhold certification of a payment request in
whole or in part to the extent reasonably necessary to
protect Owner if, in the opinion of Architect, the
representations to Owner required by Section 9.3,
Paragraph B cannot be accurately made. If Architect is
unable to certify payment in the amount of the payment
request, Architect will notify Contractor and Owner as
provided in Section 9.3, Paragraph A. If Contractor and
Architect cannot agree on a revised amount, Architect will
promptly certify a payment request for the amount for which
Architect is able to make such representations to Owner.
Architect may also decide not to certify payment or,
because of subsequently discovered evidence or
subsequent observations, may nullify the whole or a part of
a payment request previously certified, to such extent as
may be necessary in Architect's opinion to protect Owner
from loss because of:
1. Defective work not remedied;
2. Third-party claims filed or reasonable evidence
indicating probable filing of such claims;
3. Failure of Contractor to make payments properly to
Subcontractors for labor, materials, equipment,
construction or services;
4. Reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be
completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract
Sum;
Updated 1/15 – Revision 04 Page 10 General Conditions
5. Damage to Owner or another contractor for which
Contractor is responsible;
6. Reasonable evidence that the Work will not be complet-
ed within the Contract Time and that the unpaid balance
will not be adequate to cover the cost of completing the
Work and damages for the anticipated delay; or
7. Contractor's persistent failure to carry out the Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents.
B. Owner reserves the right to withhold payments to Contractor,
subsequent to Architect's certification of any payment
request, in order to protect Owner from loss due to any
condition described in Section 9.4, Paragraph A,
Subparagraphs 1 through 7. Upon satisfactory resolution of
any such conditions, payments so withheld will be made.

Conditional Waiver and Release documents executed by all
subcontractors and suppliers having claim against the
retained funds, Owner will pay any unpaid retention less any

the time within which proceedings may be commenced to
establish Contractor's liability with respect to Contractor's
obligations.
12.3 ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK
A. If Owner prefers to accept any portion of the Work not in
conformance with the Contract Documents, Owner may do so
instead of requiring removal and correction of the
nonconforming Work. In that event, the Contract Sum will be

specified and the nonconforming Work. Such adjustment
may consider increased maintenance costs, early replace-
ment costs, increased inefficiency of use, and the like and will
be effective whether or not final payment has been made.
Such adjustment will be reflected in a Change Order pursuant
to Section 7.5.
B. Temporary or trial usage by Owner or Architect of mechanical
devices, machinery, apparatus, equipment, or other work or
materials supplied under the Contract Documents prior to
written acceptance by Architect, will not constitute Owner's

13.1 SUBMITTAL OF DISPUTE
In the event there is any dispute arising under this Agreement
which cannot be resolved by agreement between the parties,
either party may submit the dispute with all documentation
upon which it relies to Director of Project Construction,
Physical Facilities Department, 50 East North Temple, 11th
Floor, Salt Lake City, Utah 84150, who will convene a dispute
resolution conference within thirty (30) days. The dispute
resolution conference will constitute settlement negotiations
and any settlement proposal made pursuant to the
conference will not be admissible as evidence of liability. In
the event that the parties do not resolve their dispute
pursuant to the dispute resolution conference, either party
may commence legal action to resolve the dispute. Any such
action must be commenced within six (6) months from the
first day of the dispute resolution conference or be time
barred. Submission of the dispute to the Director as outlined
above is a condition precedent to the right to commence legal
action to resolve any dispute. In the event that either party
commences legal action to adjudicate any dispute without
first submitting the dispute to the Director, the other party will
be entitled to obtain an order dismissing the litigation without
prejudice and awarding such other party any costs and
attorneys fees incurred by that party in obtaining the
dismissal, including without limitation copy costs, and expert
and consultant fees and expenses.
13.2 CONTRACTOR TO PROCEED WITH DILIGENCE

breach within ten (10) days of the Written Notice,
Contractor may terminate the Agreement by giving Written
Notice to Owner and recover from Owner the percentage of
the Contract Sum represented by the Work completed on
the Project site as of the date of termination together with
any out of pocket loss Contractor has sustained with
respect to materials and equipment as a result of the
termination prior to completion of the Work, less any
offsets. Contractor will not be entitled to unearned profits
or any other compensation or damages as a result of the
termination and hereby waives any claim therefor.
Contractor will provide to Owner all warranty, as built,
inspection, and other close out documents as well as
materials that Contractor has in its possession or control at
the time of termination. Without limitation, Contractor’s
indemnities and obligations under section 3.14 as well as
all warranties in the specifications relative to Work provided
through the date of termination survive a termination
hereunder.
14.2 TERMINATION BY OWNER FOR CAUSE
Should Contractor fail to provide Owner with the bonds and
certificates of insurance required by Section 11 within the
time specified therein, make a general assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, fail to apply enough properly skilled
workmen or specified materials to properly prosecute the
Work in accordance with Contractor’s schedule, or other-
wise materially breach any provision of the Contract
Documents, then Owner may, without any prejudice to any
other right or remedy, give Contractor Written Notice
thereof. If Contractor fails to cure its default within ten (10)
days, Owner may terminate the Agreement by giving
Written Notice to Contractor. In such case, Owner may, in
Owner’s sole discretion, take legal assignment of
subcontracts and other contractual rights of Contractor
and/or take possession of the premises and all materials,
tools, equipment, and appliances thereon, and finish the
Work by whatever method Owner deems expedient.
Contractor will not be entitled to receive any further
payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of
the Contract Sum exceeds the expense of finishing the
Work, including compensation for additional administrative,
architectural, consultant, and legal services (including
without limitation attorneys fees, expert fees, copy costs,
and other expenses), such excess will be paid to
Contractor. If such expense exceeds the unpaid balance,
Contractor will pay the difference to Owner. Contractor will
provide to Owner all warranty, as built, inspection, and
other close out documents as well as materials that
Contractor has in its possession or control at the time of
termination. Without limitation, Contractor’s indemnities
and obligations under section 3.14 as well as all warranties
in the specifications relative to Work provided through the
date of termination survive a termination hereunder.
14.3 TERMINATION BY OWNER FOR CONVENIENCE
Notwithstanding any other provision contained in the
Contract Documents, Owner may, without cause and in its
absolute discretion, terminate the Agreement at any time.
In the event of such termination, Contractor will be entitled
to recover from Owner the percentage of the Contract Sum
equal to the percentage of the Work which Architect
Updated 1/15 – Revision 04 Page 13 General Conditions
determines has been completed on the Project site as of the
date of termination together with any out of pocket loss
Contractor has sustained with respect to materials and
equipment as a result of the termination prior to completion of
the Work, less any offsets. Contractor will not be entitled to
unearned profits or any other compensation as a result of the
termination and hereby waives any claim therefor. Contractor
will provide to Owner all warranty, as built, inspection, and
other close out documents as well as materials that
Contractor has in its possession or control at the time of
termination. Owner may, in Owner’s sole discretion, take
legal assignment of subcontracts and other contractual rights
of Contractor. Without limitation, Contractor’s indemnities

3.7 – CONTRACTOR’S ON-SITE REPRESENTATIVE
Updated 1/15 – Revision 03 Page 15 Supplementary Conditions
B. The Superintendent shall be present full-time at the Project site during the progress of the work.
THE FOLLOWING REPLACES SECTION 7.1 OF THE GENERAL CONDITIONS:
7.1 CHANGES IN THE WORK RESULTING FROM AN INSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR
ARCHITECT TO CONTRACTOR
A. The contract language contained in the Supplementary General Conditions take precedence over
all other change order pricing contract provisions in the contract documents. It is understood that
these contract provisions will govern the pricing and administration of all change order proposals
to be submitted by the General Contractor and/or the Trade Contractors and/or the
Subcontractors and/or all other lower tier sub-subcontractors (all referred to as “Contractor”). In
the event of a conflict between the other contract documents used for the project, these change
order pricing contract provisions shall govern.
B. Contractor agrees that it will incorporate the provisions into all agreements with lower tier
Contractors. It is understood that these change order pricing provisions apply to all types of
contracts and/or subcontracts specifically including lump sum (or fixed price contracts), unit price
contracts, and/or cost plus contracts. It is further understood that these change order provisions
will apply to all methods of change order pricing specifically including lump sum change order
proposals, unit price change order proposals, and cost plus change order proposals.
C. Whenever change order proposals to adjust the contract price become necessary, the Owner will
have the right to select the method of pricing to be used by the contractor in accordance with the
pricing provisions. The options will be (1) lump sum change order proposal, (2) unit price change
order proposal, or (3) cost plus change order proposal as defined in the following provisions.
1. Lump Sum Change Order Proposals: The Owner will require itemized change
orders on all change order proposals from the Contractor, subcontractors, and
sub-subcontractors regardless of tier. Details to be submitted will include
detailed line item estimates showing detailed materials quantity take-offs,
material prices by item and related labor hour pricing information and extensions
(by line item or by drawing as applicable.)
2. Labor: Estimated labor hours shall include hours only for those workmen and
working foremen directly involved in performing the change order work.
Supervision above the level of working foremen (such as general foremen,
superintendent, project manager, etc.) is considered to be included in the Markup
Percentages as outlined in paragraphs 1.6 and 1.7.
3. Labor Burden: Labor burden allowable in change orders shall be defined as
employer's net actual cost of payroll taxes (FICA, Medicare, SUTA, FUTA), net
actual cost for employer's cost of union benefits (or other usual and customary
fringe benefits if the employees are not union employees), and net actual cost to
employer for worker's compensation insurance taking into consideration
adjustments for experience modifiers, premium discounts, dividends, rebates,
expense constants, assigned risk pool costs, net cost reductions due to policies
with deductibles for self-insured losses, assigned risk rebates, etc. Contractor
shall reduce their standard payroll tax percentages to properly reflect the
effective cost reduction due to the estimated impact of the annual maximum
wages subject to payroll taxes.
4. Material: Estimated material change order costs shall reflect the Contractor's
reasonably anticipated net actual cost for the purchase of the material needed for
the change order work. Estimated material costs shall reflect cost reductions
available to the Contractor due to “non-Cash” discounts, trade discounts, free
material credits, and/or volume rebates. Price quotations from material suppliers
Updated 1/15 – Revision 03 Page 16 Supplementary Conditions
must be itemized with unit prices for each specific item to be purchased. "Lot
pricing" quotations will not be considered sufficient substantiating detail.
5. Equipment: Allowable change order estimated costs may include appropriate
amounts for rental of major equipment specifically needed to perform the change
order work (defined as tools and equipment with an individual purchase cost of
more than $750). For contractor owned equipment, the "bare" equipment rental
rates allowed to be used for pricing change order proposals shall be 75% of the
monthly rate listed in the most current publication of The AED Green Book
divided by 176 to arrive at a maximum hourly rate to be applied to the hours the
equipment is used performing the change order work. Further, for contractor
owned equipment the aggregate equipment rent charges for any single piece of
equipment used in all change order work shall be limited to 50% of the fair
market value of the piece of equipment when the first change order is priced
involving usage of the piece of equipment. Fuel necessary to operate the
equipment will be considered as a separate direct cost associated with the
change order work.
6. Maximum Markup Percentage Allowable on Self-Performed Work: With
respect to pricing change orders, the maximum Markup Percentage Fee to be
paid to any Contractor (regardless of tier) on self-performed work shall be a
single markup percentage not-to-exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the net direct
cost of (1) direct labor and allowable labor burden costs applicable to the
change order or extra work; (2) the net cost of material and installed equipment
incorporated into the change or extra work, and (3) net rental cost of major
equipment and related fuel costs necessary to complete the change in the
Work.
The markup computed using the above formula shall be considered to be
allocated 2/3 to cover applicable overhead costs directly attributable to the field
overhead costs related to processing, supervising and performing, the change
order work, and the remaining 1/3 to cover home office overhead costs and
profit.
7. Maximum Markup Percentages Allowable on Work Performed by Lower Tier
Contractors: With respect to pricing the portion of change order proposals
involving work performed by lower tier contractors, the maximum Markup
Percentage Fee allowable to the Contractor supervising the lower tier
contractor's work shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the net of all approved
change order work performed by all subcontractors combined for any particular
change order proposal.
The markup computed using the above formula shall be considered to be
allocated 2/3 to cover applicable overhead costs directly attributable to the field
overhead costs related to processing, supervising and performing the change
order work, and the remaining 1/3 to cover home office overhead costs and
profit.
8. No Markup on Bonds and Liability Insurance Costs: Change Order cost
adjustments due to increases or decreases in bond or insurance costs (if
applicable) shall not be subject to any Markup Percentage Fee.
9. Direct and Indirect Costs Covered by Markup Percentages: As a further
clarification, the agreed upon Markup Percentage Fee is intended to cover the
Contractor's profit and all indirect costs associated with the change order work.
Items intended to be covered by the Markup Percentage Fee include, but are not
limited to: home office expenses, branch office and field office overhead expense
of any kind; project management; superintendents, general foremen; estimating,
engineering; coordinating; expediting; purchasing; detailing; legal, accounting,
Updated 1/15 – Revision 03 Page 17 Supplementary Conditions
data processing or other administrative expenses; shop drawings; permits; auto
insurance and umbrella insurance; pick-up truck costs; and warranty expense
costs. The cost for the use of small tools is also to be considered covered by the
Markup Percentage Fee. Small tools shall be defined as tools and equipment
(power or non-power) with an individual purchase cost of less than $750.
10. Deduct Change Orders and Net Deduct Changes: The application of the
markup percentages referenced in the preceding paragraphs 1.6 and 1.7 will
apply to both additive and deductive change orders. In the case of a deductive
change order, the credit will be computed by applying the sliding scale
percentages as outlined in paragraphs 1.6 and 1.7 so that a deductive change
order would be computed in the same manner as an additive change order. In
those instances where a change involves both additive and deductive work, the
additions and deductions will be netted and the markup percentage adjustments
will be applied to the net amount.
11. Contingency: In no event will any lump sum or percentage amounts for
"contingency" be allowed to be added as a separate line item in change order
estimates. Unknowns attributable to labor hours will be accounted for when
estimating labor hours anticipated to perform the work. Unknowns attributable to
material scrap and waste will be estimated as part of material costs.
12. Change Order Proposal Time and Change Directives: The Contractor's
proposals for changes in the contract amount or time shall be submitted within
seven (7) calendar days of the Owner's request, unless the Owner extends such
period of time due to the circumstances involved. If such proposals are not
received in a timely manner, if the proposals are not acceptable to Owner, or if
the changed work should be started immediately to avoid damage to the project
or costly delay, the Owner may direct the Contractor to proceed with the changes
without waiting for the Contractor's proposal or for the formal change order to be
issued. In the case of an unacceptable Contractor proposal, the Owner may
direct the Contractor to proceed with the changed work on a cost-plus basis with
an agreed upon "not-to-exceed" price for the work to be performed. Such
directions to the Contractor by the Owner shall be confirmed in writing by a
"Notice to Proceed on Changes" letter within seven (7) calendar days. The cost
or credit, and or time extensions will be determined by negotiations as soon as
practical thereafter and incorporated in a Change Order to the Contract.
THE FOLLOWING ADDS SECTION 7.9 OF THE GENERAL CONDITIONS:
7.9 Owner’s Right to Audit
A. Liability Insurance and Bonds: In the event the Contractor has been required to
furnish comprehensive general liability insurance and/or performance and/or payment
bonds as part of the base contract price, a final contract change order will be processed
to account for the Contractor's net increase or decrease in comprehensive general
liability insurance costs and/or bond premium costs associated with change orders to
Contractor's base contract price.
B. Accurate Change Order Pricing Information: Contractor (subcontractor or sub-sub
contractor) agrees that it is responsible for submitting accurate cost and pricing data to
support its Lump Sum Change and/or Cost Plus Change Order Proposals or other
contract price adjustments under the contract. Contractor further agrees to submit
change order proposals with cost and pricing data which is accurate, complete, current,
and in accordance with the terms of the contract with respect to pricing of change orders.
Updated 1/15 – Revision 03 Page 18 Supplementary Conditions
C. Right to Verify Change Order Pricing Information: Contractor, subcontractor and sub-
sub-contractor agrees that any designated Owner's representative will have the right to
examine (copy or scan) the records of the Contractor, subcontractor or sub-sub
contractor’s records (during the contract period and up to three years after final payment
is made on the contract) to verify the accuracy and appropriateness of the pricing data
used to price all change order proposals and/or claims. Contractor agrees that if the
Owner determines the cost and pricing data submitted (whether approved or not) was
inaccurate, incomplete, not current, or not in compliance with the terms of the contract
regarding pricing of change orders, an appropriate contract price adjustment will be
made. Such post-approval contract price adjustments will apply to all levels of
contractors and/or subcontractors and to all types of change order proposals specifically
including lump sum change orders, unit price change orders, and cost-plus change
orders.
D. Requirements for Detailed Change Order Pricing Information: Contractor,
subcontractor agrees to provide and require all Subcontractors and sub-subcontractors to
provide a breakdown of allowable labor and labor burden cost information as outlined in
this Exhibit "A". This information will be used to evaluate the potential cost of labor and
labor burden related to change order work. It is intended that this information represent
an accurate estimate of the Contractor's actual labor and labor burden cost components.
This information is not intended to establish fixed billing or change order pricing labor
rates. However, at the time change orders are priced, the submitted cost data for labor
rates may be used to price change order work. The accuracy of any such agreed upon
labor cost components used to price change orders will be subject to later audit.
Approved change order amounts may be adjusted later to correct the impact of
inaccurate labor cost components if the agreed upon labor cost components are
determined to be inaccurate.
THE FOLLOWING REPLACES SECTION 9.5 OF THE GENERAL CONDITIONS:
9.5 PROGRESS PAYMENTS
A. Owner will pay Contractor progress payments within the parameters of Section 9.2 within fifteen (15)
days after:

Affidavit and Consent of Surety” fully executed by Contractor and its surety, if any, and provides
statutory Conditional Waiver and Release documents executed by all subcontractors and suppliers
having claim against the retained funds, Owner will pay any unpaid retention less any amounts
withheld pursuant to Section 9.4 within forty-five (45) days from the later of (a) the date Owner
received Contractor’s payment request for retained funds and fully executed Contractor’s Substantial
Completion Affidavit and Consent of Surety, (b) the date a certificate of occupancy is issued; (c) the
date that a building inspector having authority to issue its own certificate of occupancy does not
issue that certificate but permits occupancy.
C. Owner will make payments to Contractor by either placing the payments in the United States mail
addressed to Contractor or by electronic transfer at Owner’s discretion.
D. Upon receipt of any payment from Owner, Contractor will pay to each Subcontractor the amount
paid to Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's portion of the Work.
Updated 1/15 – Revision 03 Page 19 Supplementary Conditions
E. Contractor will maintain a copy of each payment request at the Project site for review by the Subcon-
tractors.
F. No payment made under the Contract Documents, either in whole or in part, will be construed to be

made to Contractor. These retention funds will be held in an interest bearing account.
THE FOLLOWING REPLACES SECTION 9.6 OF THE GENERAL CONDITIONS:

C. If the aggregate of previous payments made by Owner exceeds the amount due Contractor,
Contractor will reimburse the difference to Owner.
