2. Where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, by a mutually
agreed lump sum (which may include an allowance for overhead and profit not necessarily in accordance with
paragraph 12.01.C.2); or

3. Where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents an agreement to a
lump sum is not reached under paragraph 12.01.B.2, on the basis of the cost of the Work (determined as provided
in paragraph 11.01) plus a CONTRACTOR's fee for overhead and profit (determined as provided in paragraph
12,01.C),

C, CONTRACTOR's Fee: The CONTRACTOR's fee for overhead and profit shall be determined as follows:

b. For costs incurred under paragraph 11.01.A4.3, the CONTRACTOR's fee shall be five percent;

c. Where one or more tiers of subcontracts are on the basis of Cost of the Work plus a fee and no fixed fee is
agreed upon, the intent of paragraph 12.01.C.2.a. is that the Subcontractor who actually performs the Work, at
whatever tier, will be paid a fee of 15 percent of the costs incurred by such Subcontractor under paragraphs
L1.01.A4.1 and 11.01.A4.2 and that any higher tier Subcontractor and CONTRACTOR will each be paid a fee
of five percent of the amount paid to the next lower tier Subcontractor;

decrease in cost will be the amount of the actual net decrease in cost plus a deduction in CONTRACTOR's fee
by an amount equal to five percent of such net decrease; and

f. When both addition and credits are involved in any one change, the adjustment in CONTRACTOR's fee
shall be computed on the basis of the net change in accordance with paragraphs 12.01.C.2.a through
12.01.C.2.e inclusive,

12.02 Change of Contract Times

A. The Contract Times (or Milestones) may only be changed by a Change Order or by a Written Amendment. Any

costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and
other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to such

13.08 Acceptance of Defective Work

A. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, OWNER (and, prior to
ENGINEER's recommendation of final payment, ENGINEER) prefers to accept it, OWNER may do so,
CONTRACTOR shall pay all Claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs)
attributable to OWNER's evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work (such costs to be approved by
ENGINEER as to reasonableness) and the diminished value of the Work to the extent not otherwise paid by
CONTRACTOR pursuant to this sentence. If any such acceptance occurs prior to ENGINEER's recommendation of
final payrnent, a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions In the Contract Price, reflecting the
diminished value of Work so accepted. If the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make
a Claim therefore as provided in paragraph 10.05. If the acceptance occurs after such recommendation, an appropriate
amount will be paid by CONTRACTOR to OWNER.

13.09 OWNER May Correct Defective Work

A. If CONTRACTOR fails within a reasonable time after written notice from ENGINEER to correct defective Work or
to remove and replace rejected Work as required by ENGINEER in accordance with paragraph 13.06.A, or if
CONTRACTOR fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if CONTRACTOR fails to
comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, OWNER may, after seven days written notice to
CONTRACTOR, correct and remedy any such deficiency.

B. In exercising the rights and remedies under this paragraph, OWNER shall proceed expeditiously. In connection
with such corrective and remedial action, OWNER may exclude CONTRACTOR from all or part of the Site, take
possession of all or part of the Work and suspend CONTRACTOR's services related thereto, take possession of
CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the Site, and incorporate in the Work all
materials and equipment stored at the Site or for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR but which are stored
elsewhere. CONTRACTOR shall allow OWNER, OWNER's representatives, agents and employees, OWNER's other
contractors, and ENGINEER and ENGINEER's Consultants access to the Site to enable OWNER to exercise the nights
and remedies under this paragraph.

C. All Claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects,
attomeys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs} incurred or sustained by
OWNER in exercising the rights and remedies under this paragraph 13.09 will be charged against CONTRACTOR,
and a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the
Work; and OWNER shaili be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price. If the parties are unable to agree
as to the amount of the adjustment, OWNER may make a Claim therefore as provided in paragraph 10.05. Such
claims, costs, losses and damages will include but not be limited to all costs of repair, or replacement of work of others
destroyed or damaged by correction, removal, or replacement of CONTRACTOR's defective Work.

D. CONTRACTOR shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Times (or Milestones) because of any delay in
the performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by OWNER of OWNER's rights and remedies under this
paragraph 13.09,

ARTICLE 14 - PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION

14.02 Progress Payment

A. Review of Applications.

1. Prior to submittal of Application for Payment to OWNER (but not more often than once a month), the
CONTRACTOR shall submit the monthly progress estimate to the ENGINEER for review and approval.

2. ENGINEER will, within 10 working days after receipt of each progress estimate, either indicate in writing a
recommendation of payment or indicate in writing ENGINEER's reasons for refusing to recommend payment and
return the progress estimate to CONTRACTOR. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary
corrections and resubmit the Application.

3. ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment requested in a progress estimate will constitute a representation by
ENGINEER to OWNER, based on ENGINEER's observations on the Site of the executed Work as an experienced and
qualified design professional and on ENGINEER's review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying date
and schedules, that to the best of ENGINEER's knowledge, information and belief:

a. The Work has progressed to the point indicated;

b. The quality of the Work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of
the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests
called for in the Contract documents, to a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price
Work under paragraph 9.08 and to any other qualifications stated in the recommendation); and

c. The conditions precedent to CONTRACTOR's being entitled to such payment appears to have been fulfilled
in so far as it is ENGINEER's responsibility to observe the Work.

4. By recommending any such payment ENGINEER will not thereby be deemed to have represented that: (i)
inspections made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work as it has been performed have been exhaustive,
extended to every aspect of the Work in progress, or involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the
responsibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract Documents; or (ii) that there may not be other
matters or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or
entitle OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR.

5. Neither ENGINEER's review of CONTRACTOR's Work for the purposes of recommending payments nor
ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment, including final payment, will impose responsibility on
ENGINEER to supervise, direct, or control the Work or for the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or
procedures of construction, or the safety precautions and programs incident thereto, or for CONTRACTOR's
failure to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to CONTRACTOR's performance of the Work.
Additionally, said review or recommendation will not impose responsibility on ENGINEER to make any
examination to ascertain how or for what purposes CONTRACTOR has used the moneys paid on account of the
Contract Price, or to determine that title to any of the Work, materials, or equipment has passed to OWNER free
and clear of any Liens.

6. ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in ENGINEER's opinion, it
would be incorrect to make the representations to OWNER referred to in paragraph 14.02.B.2. ENGINEER may
also refuse to recommend any such payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of
subsequent inspections or tests, revise or revoke any such payment recommendation previously made, to such
extent as may be necessary in ENGINEER's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because:

a. The Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged, requiring correction or replacement;

b. The Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change Orders;

and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the Work completed as of the date of the Application and
accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. [f payment is
requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably
stored at the Site or at another location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment shall also be
accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice, or other documentation warranting that OWNER has received the
materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens and evidence that the materials and equipment are covered
by appropriate property insurance or other arrangements to protect OWNER's interest therein, all of which
must be satisfactory to OWNER. Any request for partial or fal payment shall specifically list the work
completed. Requests for payment for services performed under this agreement shall be submitted as stipulated
in Article 6 ~ Payment and Procedures in the Agreement.

2, Beginning with the second Application for Payment, each Application shall include an affidavit of
CONTRACTOR stating that all previous progress payments received on account of the Work have been applied
on account to discharge CONTRACTOR's legitimate obligations associated with prior Applications for Payment.

3, The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be stipulated in the Agreement.

C. Payment Becomes Due

i,

Not more than 30 days after presentation of the application for payment to OWNER with ENGINEER’s

recommendation, the amount recommended will become due, and when due will be paid by OWNER to
CONTRACTOR.

D. Reduction in Payment.

1, OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by ENGINEER because:

a. Claims have been made against OWNER on account of CONTRACTOR's performance or furnishing of the
Work;

Bond satisfactory to OWNER to secure the satisfaction and discharge of such Liens;

c. There are other items entitling OWNER to a set-off against the amount recommended; or

d. OWNER has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs 14.02.B.5.a
through 14.02.B.5.c or paragraph 15.02.A.

CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (with a copy to ENGINEER) stating the reasons for such action and
promptly pay CONTRACTOR any amount remaining after deduction of the amount so withheld. OWNER shall
promptly pay CONTRACTOR the amount so withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by OWNER and
CONTRACTOR, when CONTRACTOR corrects to OWNER's satisfaction the reasons for such action.

3. If it is subsequently determined that OWNER's refusal of payment was not justified, the amount wrongfully
withheld shall be treated as an amount due as determined by paragraph 14.02.C.1.

14.03 CONTRACTOR’S Warranty of Title

A. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials, and equipment covered by any
Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to OWNER no later than the time of
payment free and clear of all Liens.

14.04 Substantial Completion

A. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER
and ENGINEER ‘in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except for items specifically listed by
CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that ENGINEER issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Promptly
thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR, and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status
of completion. If ENGINEER does not consider the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will notify
CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefore. If ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete,
ENGINEER will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the
date of Substantial Completion. There shail be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or
corrected before final payment. OWNER shail have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to
make written objection to ENGINEER as to any provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after considering such
objections, ENGINEER concludes that the Work is not substantially complete, ENGINEER will within 14 days after
submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing, stating the reasons therefore. If
after consideration of OWNER's objections, ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will
within said 14 days execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial
Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the
tentative certificate as ENGINEER believes justified after consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time
of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion ENGINEER will deliver to OWNER and
CONTRACTOR a written recommendation to division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, and protection of the Work, maintenance, heat, utilities,
insurance, and warranties and guarantees. Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so
inform ENGINEER in writing prior to ENGINEER's issumg the definitive certificate of Substantial Completion,
ENGINEER's aforesaid recommendation will be binding on OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment.

B. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Site after the date of Substantial Completion, but
OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on the tentative list.

14.05 Partial Utilization

A. Use by OWNER at OWNER's option of any substantially completed part of the Work which has specifically been
identified in the Contract Documents, or which OWNER, ENGINEER and CONTRACTOR agree constitutes a
separately functioning and usable part of the Work that can be used by OWNER for its intended purpose without
significant interference with CONTRACTOR's performance of the remainder of the Work, may be accomplished prior
to Substantial Completion of all the Work subject to the following conditions.

1, OWNER at any time may request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use any such part of the
Work which OWNER believes to be ready for its intended use and substantially complete. If CONTRACTOR
agrees that such part of the Work is substantially complete, CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER and
ENGINEER that such part of the Work is substantially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certificate of
Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. Within a reasonable time after either such request, OWNER,
CONTRACTOR, and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of
completion. If ENGINEER does not consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of
paragraph 14.04 will apply with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the
division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto.
