BACKGROUND: At its Business meeting on December 2, 2024, the Board of Commissioners
authorized the use of the Construction Manager-at-Risk project delivery method for the Crisis
Diversion Facility and for the County to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select a firm
to provide those services.
Orange County issued RFQ 367-005447 for the selection of a firm to be the Construction
Manager at Risk ("CMAR") for the Crisis Diversion Facility on January 7, 2025. A total of eight (8)
firms responded, and three (3) firms were selected to be interviewed by an Evaluation Committee
that included Travis Myren, County Manager; Caitlin Fenhagen, Deputy County Manager; Alan
Dorman, Director of Asset Management Services; and Tony Marimpietri, Chair of the Crisis
Diversion Facility Subcommittee of the Behavioral Health Task Force. Interviews were held on
March 6 and March 10, 2025.
The Evaluation Committee has selected Gilbane Building Company. Gilbane's extensive
experience in delivering behavioral health and crisis diversion facilities, combined with its
commitment to community impact, makes it the ideal partner for this project. The company's
expertise in cost-effective preconstruction services, innovative value engineering, and a proven
2
track record in managing complex healthcare projects ensures that Orange County will receive a
high-quality, efficient, and timely facility that meets the needs of the community.
The contract with Gilbane includes pre-construction services for $179,928, and includes
construction cost estimates, a review of project design and schedule, and other related services.
Once the final design is completed, Gilbane will establish a pre-qualification process for
contractors who wish to bid on the project and then accept bids from those firms. The final
returned bids will be the basis for the Guaranteed Maximum Price ("GMP") for the facility's
construction unless the County requires additional changes in the facility.
The CMAR fees for the project are shown in the table below (Gilbane's proposal is provided at
Attachment 2). The fees will be based on the GMP which the Board will adopt once the bidding
has been completed.

amendment to this Contract to reflect the GMP. Within 10 days after the execution of the
amendment provided herein, the CMAR shall provide the Owner with a Performance Bond and a
Labor and Material Payment Bond each for 100%of the GMP in conformity with the terms of N.C.
Gen. Stat.Chapter 44A and this Contract.
4.8. Upon acceptance of the GMP,the CMAR shall continue to advise and assist the Owner and Project
Designer during any continuing design activities as described in the RFQ.
4.9. Upon completion of the Work, any and all non-expended funds remaining in any GMP will be
retained by the Owner,except as specifically set forth above in Section 3 and below in Section 5.
5.CONTINGENCY ALLOWANCES
5.1. Owner's Contingency: An Owner's Construction Contingency will be established. Expenditures
against this contingency will be available to cover all costs not covered by the GMP resulting from
changes in scope and initiated by the Owner via a change order amendment issued by the Owner.
5.2. CMAR-GMP Contingency: Each GMP shall contain a CMAR-GMP Contingency fixed as an
estimated lump sum for each GMP in an amount approved by the Owner, to help reduce the risks
assumed by the CMAR in providing the GMP for the Project. The entire CMAR Contingency shall
be fixed, based on the Total Construction Budget at the time of the final GMP, after which the
CMAR-GMP Contingency shall not be adjusted unless an amount is negotiated with Owner
requested Change Orders to the Work of the Project. In the event an adjustment to the CMAR
Contingency is negotiated under this paragraph,a lump sum adjustment to the CMAR Contingency
shall be equitably determined based on the nature of the changes to the Work, proven changes in
the scope of services provided by the CMAR, and any other factor that would affect the CMAR
risks due to changes to the Work
5.3. The Owner and the CMAR acknowledge that the contingency is included to compensate for
eventualities which have not been taken into precise account in the establishment of the GMP,
specifically unanticipated costs which do not result in, or cause a change order to the GMP,
including (1) legal fees associated with defending bid protests or subcontract awards may be
authorized by the Owner as expenditures within the GMP Contingency provided the CMAR is not
negligent or at fault, (2) scope gaps between trade Subcontractors, (3) contract default by trade
Subcontractors, (4)threat of or damage due to Acts of God to the extent not otherwise covered by
insurance; (5) costs of corrective Work not provided for elsewhere and (6) unforeseen field
conditions and design omissions which a prudent CMAR should reasonably have detected during
the discharge of the CMAR's pre-construction duties. Costs incurred for such design omissions
shall come from the CMAR-GMP Contingency. Design errors which the CMAR could not have
reasonably detected will be resolved on a case-by-case basis. These may be paid from the Owner
contingency,but shall not be chargeable to the CMAR-GMP Contingency.
5.4. The CMAR-GMP Contingency is not allocated to any particular item of the Cost of the Work, and
is established for the CMAR's use as may be required for increases in costs as noted above. It is
understood that the amount of the CMAR-GMP Contingency is the maximum sum available to the
CMAR to cover costs incurred as a result of such unanticipated causes or details, and that cost
overruns in excess of the amount of the CMAR-GMP Contingency will be borne by the CMAR.
5.5. The CMAR-GMP Contingency may be applied to any items within the Cost of the Work without
the necessity of a change order,without constituting a change in the Work,and without resulting in
any change in the GMP. The CMAR will notify the Owner and Project Designer in writing of the
CMAR's intent to apply any part of the CMAR-GMP Contingency to any item within the Cost of
the Work prior to any such application. The CMAR shall fully document the change on its copy of
the Construction Documents for inclusion in the as-built record documents required by this
Contract.

5.6. Unless otherwise agreed by the Owner, and provided that the Total Construction Budget remains
$ , the total CMAR-GMP Contingency for the Project shall not exceed$ . If the Owner
changes the Total Construction Budget, the CMAR-GMP Contingency shall not exceed four
percent (4.0%), as a value line item of the sum of the Cost of the Work and the CMAR General
Conditions, all as more fully defined in this Contract, as of the date when the final GMP is
established and approved by the Owner, subject to modification and limitation as set forth herein.
When each GMP is fixed, the CMAR-GMP Contingency for that GMP shall be converted to a
lump sum. The entire CMAR Contingency shall be fixed in the final GMP, based on the Total
Construction Budget at the time of the final GMP,after which the CMAR Contingency shall not be
adjusted unless an amount is negotiated with Owner requested Change Orders to the Work of the
Project.
5.7. The amount of the CMAR-GMP Contingency is to be reviewed by the Owner as part of its review
of each GMP. The Owner retains the right to specifically request revisions to the amount of the
CMAR-GMP Contingency prior to the Owner's acceptance and approval of each GMP. If, after a
contingency is fixed as part of a GMP proposal, the contract prices are lower than anticipated, the
CMAR and Owner agree that the CMAR-GMP Contingency shall not be reduced prior to
completion of that GMP phase. In the event that the CMAR is not required to use any or all of the
CMAR-GMP Contingency for a particular GMP it shall be carried forward to each subsequent
GMP. After final completion of the Project, the Owner shall pay the CMAR Thirty percent(30%)
of the unused CMAR-GMP Contingency. In the event that there are any funds remaining in any
special or dedicated Owner's allowance,those funds shall be retained solely by the Owner.
6.PROJECT DESIGNER'S STATUS

6.5. The Project Designer and the Owner shall have access to the Work whenever it is in preparation
and progress during normal working hours. The CMAR shall provide facilities for such access so
the Project Designer may perform its functions under the Contract Documents.
6.6. Based on the Project Designer's inspections and evaluations of the Project, the Project Designer
shall issue interpretations, directives, and decisions as may be necessary to assist the CMAR in the
administration of the Project. The Project Designer's decisions relating to artistic effect and

10.SUBCONTRACTS AND SUBCONTRACTORS
10.1. The CMAR shall determine the appropriate bid packages based on the available resources. One or
more bid packages shall be prepared for each of the general construction, electrical, mechanical,
fire protection, and plumbing divisions of the Work of the Project. The CMAR shall prepare any
other contract packages for other divisions or subdivisions of the Work. Each Subcontractor may
be required by the CMAR to provide bonds and insurance,consistent with the terms of the RFQ.
10.2. First-tier Subcontractors shall be pre-qualified by the CMAR. Only pre-qualified Subcontractors
are allowed to bid and contract with the CMAR on a Project. The CMAR and the Owner's
Representative shall confer on the prequalification of lower tier subcontractors, and the CMAR
shall decide whether to pre-qualify lower tier subcontractors after giving due regard to the Owner's
MWBE goals. The prequalification criteria shall be determined jointly by the Owner, Project
Designer and the CMAR to address quality, performance, time specified in the bids for
performance of the Contract, the cost of construction oversight, time for completion, capacity to
perform, and other factors deemed appropriate by the Owner. The CMAR shall publicly advertise
as prescribed in G.S. 143-129; and shall accept bids from first-tier Subcontractors for all
construction Work and all General Conditions that are not being self-performed by the CMAR or
by an affiliated entity of CMAR. All bids shall be opened publicly and once they are opened, shall
be public record under Chapter 132 of the General Statutes.The CMAR shall award each contact to
the lowest responsible, responsive bidder, taking into consideration the Owner's requirements,
quality, performance, time specified in the bids for performance of the contract, the cost of
construction oversight, time for completion, compliance with G.S. 143-128.2 and other factors
deemed appropriate by the Owner's Representative and advertised as part of the bid solicitation. If
the low bid Subcontractor fails to account for all costs associated with the scope of the Work on
which it is bidding,then the bid may be disqualified at the discretion of the CMAR or modified to
show additional Project costs not accounted for. If after modification, the apparent low bid is no
longer low, then the CMAR shall disqualify that bid and consider the next low bid submitted. The
CMAR shall have the right as outlined above to verify the scope of each low bid in the same
manner until it determines the lowest verified bid. Gilbane hereby discloses to the Owner the use
of Next 150 Construction LLC/Next 150 Construction Servies,LLC,a Gilbane related party for the
performance of skilled craft labor, small tools, consumable, equipment, materials, and temporary
services in connection with the Project.
10.3. The CMAR shall conduct pre-bid meetings and award meetings for all contracts. The CMAR shall
notify the Owner and Project Designer of each such meeting and shall not hold any such meeting
without notification to the Owner and Project Designer.
10.4. The CMAR or Owner may reject all bids and repeat the bidding for a given division of Work or re-
package the Work activity.
10.5. The CMAR shall not award or issue notice of award for the Work until certified tabulation of the
bids, copies of the bids received, the CMAR's recommendations for award, a report of the
documentation of MWBE participation and documentation of the good faith efforts of the bidders
are provided to and reviewed with the Owner.
10.6. The CMAR may not bid on any trade package,nor may the CMAR perform the Work of any trade
package except in the case of an emergency or extraordinary circumstance without the written
approval of the Owner and Project Designer. The Owner's Representative may approve the CMAR
performing a portion of the Work only if that bidding produces no responsible, responsive bidder
for that portion of the Work,the lowest, responsive,responsible bidder will not execute a contract
for the bid portion of the Work, or a Subcontractor defaults and a qualified replacement cannot be
obtained in a timely manner, and the amount of the Work does not exceed $100,000. Any self-
performance of the Work by the CMAR exceeding $100,000 requires the approval of the Orange
County Commissioners.
10.7. Once Subcontractors are in place, the CMAR shall provide copies of contracts to the Owner and
Project Designer,including those for equipment and material suppliers.The CMAR will require the

Subcontractors to provide the applicable Contract Documents including insurance certificates,
MWBE participation schedules, and verification of MWBE participation (by submission of letters
of intent,copies of purchase orders,etc.).
10.8. If the Project Designer disapproves of any Subcontractor, then it shall submit its reasons for
disapproval in writing to the Owner and CMAR. If the Owner's Representative concurs with the
Project Designer's recommendation,the CMAR shall submit a substitute for approval. The Project
Designer shall act promptly in the approval of material and equipment suppliers and when approval
is given, no changes will be permitted except for cause or reason considered justifiable to the
Project Designer and Owner's Representative.

Sections 3 and 33 herein.
21.11. If reasonable precautions are inadequate to prevent foreseeable bodily injury or
death to persons resulting from a material or substance encountered but not
created on the site by the CMAR or its Subcontractors, the CMAR shall, upon
recognizing the condition, immediately stop Work in the affected area and report
the condition to the Owner and Project Designer in writing. The Owner shall take
responsibility for remediation of the material or substance from the site. If the
CMAR claim's its progress in completing the Project is delayed because of the
Owner's remediation of the site, the CMAR shall file notice and a claim in
accordance with this Contract. The CMAR shall not be liable for environmental
matters on, under or about the premises which constitute the Project, including
without limitation,those relating to fines,orders, injunctions,penalties, damages,

shall indemnify and hold harmless the CMAR, Subcontractors, Architect,
Architect's consultants, and agents and employees of any of them from and
against claims, damages, losses, and expenses, including but not limited to
attorneys' fees, arising out of or resulting from performance of the Work in the
affected area if in fact the material or substance presents the risk of bodily injury
or death as described in Section 21.11 and has not been rendered harmless,
provided that such claim,damage,loss,or expense is attributable to bodily injury,
sickness,disease or death,or to injury to or destruction of tangible property(other
than the Work itself), except to the extent that such damage, loss, or expense is
due to the fault or negligence of the party seeking indemnity. If, without
negligence on the part of the CMAR, the CMAR is held liable by a government

from and against all claims, damages, civil penalties, losses and expenses, including, but not
limited to, attorneys' fees, arising out of or resulting from the performance of Work or failure of
performance of Work, provided that and only to the extent that any such claim, damage, civil
penalty, loss or expense is attributable to the negligence of CMAR or its subcontractors and is a
violation of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act. Such obligation shall not be construed to
negate, abridge or otherwise reduced any other right or obligation of indemnity which would
otherwise exist as to any party or persons described in this Contract, including specifically
paragraph 48.
23.INSPECTION OF THE WORK
23.1. It is a condition of this contract that the Work shall be subject to inspection during normal working

design condition,the Work that has been covered or concealed will be paid by the CMAR.
23.10. If any other portion of the Work has been covered which the Project Designer has not specifically
requested to observe prior to being covered, the Project Designer or Owner's Representative may
request to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by the CMAR. If such Work be found in
accordance with the Construction Documents, the cost of uncovering and replacement shall, by
appropriate change order,be charged to the Owner. If such Work be found not in accordance with
the Contract Documents,the CMAR shall pay such costs.
24.TIME OF COMPLETION,DELAYS,EXTENSION OF TIME
24.1. The pre-construction services schedule shall not exceed one calendar year from the execution of
this Agreement. Once the Notice to Proceed is issued, the CMAR will complete construction
services within sixteen (16) months and one (1) month for state and local occupancy permitting
inspections, for a total of seventeen (17) months. The CMAR shall commence provision of
services under this Contract not later than five days after the date of this Contract, and shall fully
complete all services hereunder and accomplish the substantial and final completion of the Project
in accordance with the following target schedule,which shall be adhered to unless otherwise agreed
by the Owner:

24.2. The Project shall be brought to Substantial and Final Completion within the time prescribed by the
Project schedule that is updated and established at the time the final GMP is accepted,which shall
be in accord with the foregoing target schedule as extended by the Owner by change order in
accordance with the Contract.
24.3. If the CMAR is delayed at any time in the progress of its Work by any act or negligence of the
Owner or the Project Designer, or Owner's Separate Contractor(s), or by any employee of either;
by changes ordered in the Work; by any event covered under the builders risk"all risk"policy,by
labor disputes at the Project site;by abnormal weather conditions not reasonably anticipated for the
locality where the Work is performed;by unavoidable casualties; by public health crises including
pandemics/epidemics and governmental actions in response thereto; any causes beyond the
CMAR's control; or by any other causes which the Project Designer and Owner determine may
justify the delay, then the contract time may be extended by change order for the time which the
Project Designer and Owner may determine is reasonable and the Guaranteed Maximum Price
equitably adjusted accordingly by Change Order. Contract defaults or other breaches of any legal
duty by a Subcontractor shall not be grounds for a time extension under this Contract. Time
extensions will not be granted for rain,wind, snow or other natural phenomena of normal intensity
for the locality where Work is performed. For purpose of determining the extent of delay
attributable to unusual weather phenomena, a determination shall be made by comparing the
weather for the contract period involved with the average of the preceding twenty (20) year
climatic range during the same time interval based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration National Weather Service statistics for the locality where Work is performed and on
daily weather logs kept on the job site by the CMAR reflecting the effect of the weather on
progress of the Work and initialed by the Project Designer. Time extensions for weather delays
shall not entitle the CMAR to an increase in the GMP.
24.4. It is the CMAR's responsibility to meet the required construction completion dates, as extended by
the Owner in accordance with the Contract. As an inducement to the CMAR to meet the required
substantial completion date for the Project, the Owner will include in the Total Construction
Budget an Early Completion Bonus Fund amount of one percent(1.0%)of the actual Project GMP,
which shall be payable to the CMAR as an Early Completion Bonus if the Project is completed
prior to the substantial completion date, as extended in accordance with this Contract and further
provided that the Project is completed under budget and so long as including payment of the Early
Completion Bonus Fund does not result in an amount that exceeds the Total Construction Budget.
Page 24 of 52
Revised 12/24,4/25
28
This Early Completion Bonus,if earned,will be included in the final payment to the CMAR. If the
CMAR decides that any action must be taken in order to meet its contractual responsibility to
complete the Project on time or to mitigate liquidated damages payable to the Owner,including for
example and without limitation forcing Subcontractors to work overtime, increase labor forces or
staffing,or work out of sequence,then the CMAR may,upon written notice to the Owner,waive its
right to the Early Completion Bonus. Upon notice that the CMAR waives its right to the Early
Completion Bonus, the Owner shall make the funds budgeted for the Early Completion Bonus
available to the CMAR to pay the actual costs of such action as a Cost of the Work. The CMAR
will enforce all rights and remedies that it has against any and all Subcontractors that are
responsible for the failure to complete the Project within the schedule,and reimburse the Owner for
the sums contributed under this paragraph to the extent the CMAR is able to recover those costs
from those Subcontractors.If the Project is not substantially complete by the substantial completion
date as extended, the Early Completion Bonus shall be deemed automatically waived without
further notice, and the funds shall be made available to take action to maintain the Project on
schedule. Once the funds budgeted for the Early Completion Bonus are exhausted, all costs
associated with any action taken to stay within the completion schedule are the CMAR's
responsibility within the GMP. If the CMAR finds that the schedule is likely to be impacted by an
action or inaction on the part of the Owner,the CMAR must review the situation with the Owner in
a timely manner, and if necessary, to obtain a change order amendment for such Work prior to
taking any action which has a time and/or cost impact. All change orders will be settled in full.No
caveats for later settlement of time extensions or delays will be accepted.
24.5. Request for extension of time shall be made in writing within ten (10) days following the event
that is the cause of delay. In case of continuing cause for delay,the CMAR shall notify the Project
Designer of the delay within 20 days of the beginning of the delay and only one claim is necessary.
Failure to make a timely claim will constitute a waiver of said claim for extensions of time or for
monetary compensation.
24.6. The CMAR shall notify its surety in writing of each extension of time granted.
24.7. The schedule for all responses by the Project Designer to submittals by the CMAR shall be part of
the Project schedule,as amended from time to time in accordance with the Contract.No request for
a time extension shall be allowed on account of failure of the Project Designer to process any type
of submittals, furnish drawings, or provide instructions unless and until the CMAR provides
written notice of the request and processes it in accordance with paragraphs 24.4 and 24.5.
24.8. Should the CMAR fail to bring the Project to substantial completion within the time prescribed by
the schedule that is established at the time the final GMP is accepted (or such later date as may
result from extension of time granted by the Owner), the CMAR shall be liable to the Owner for
delay damages as set forth herein. The CMAR acknowledges that delays will damage the Owner,
but also acknowledges that proof of such damages would be difficult and costly for both parties,
and that the injury to the Owner which could result from a failure of the CMAR to complete on
schedule is uncertain and cannot be computed with exact precision. In order to liquidate in advance
the delay damages that the Owner will be entitled to recover from the CMAR in the event of
unexcused delays in the completion of the Project, the CMAR agrees that it will pay, and that the
Owner may retain from the funds otherwise to be paid to the CMAR, the following liquidated
damages, which sums are agreed upon as a reasonable and proper measure of damages which the
Owner will sustain by failure of the CMAR to complete Work within the time stipulated:
24.8.1. After a grace period of thirty(30)calendar days the sum of$ per additional day for
each consecutive calendar day that the CMAR fails to achieve substantial completion of
the entire Project; provided that the daily liquidated damages to be assessed against and
paid by the CMAR through the date of substantial completion shall not exceed and
No/100 dollars
Page 25 of 52
Revised 12/24,4/25
29
24.8.2. In addition to the foregoing daily liquidated damages, the CMAR shall pay as Event
Liquidated Damages an additional one-time charge of $ for failure to complete
substantial completion and beneficial occupancy for lad in and setup for a scheduled
event by pm on
24.9. In addition to the foregoing liquidated damages,the Owner may recover extended utility charges as
expressly set forth elsewhere in this Contract.
24.10. The CMAR shall not use its unexpended GMP Contingency to pay liquidated damages. The
CMAR may in its discretion provide in its construction contracts that its Subcontractors will be
liable for liquidated delay damages, in the amount of the Owner's liquidated damages or in
different amounts. Notwithstanding anything in this Contract that might be construed to the
contrary, in the event the CMAR deducts liquidated damages from a particular construction
contract,thereby reducing the sum payable under that contract,the GMP will not be reduced by the
amount withheld from that Subcontractor.
24.11. Other than extended utility charges, liquidated damages shall be Owner's sole remedy for delay or
inability to use the Project or any portion thereof. This provision for liquidated damages does not
bar Owner's right to enforce its other contractual rights and remedies under this Contract,including
without limitation the right to order the CMAR to accelerate the Work or the right to terminate the
Contract. Liquidated damages represent the Owner's best effort at the commencement of the
Contract to estimate its reasonable anticipated damages for delay, and should not be construed as a
penalty.
25.CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION AND SCHEDULE
25.1. The CMAR shall maintain a competent and adequate full-time staff approved by the Owner at the
Project site to coordinate and provide adequate direction of the Work, and to monitor progress of

25.7. After contract award but prior to thirty(30)days from the date of the notice to proceed,the CMAR
shall obtain from the Subcontractors their respective Work activities and integrate them into a
Project construction schedule. The CMAR shall develop the complete and final CPM schedule in
the form of a CPM network arrow diagram using the CMAR's logic and time estimates for each
segment of the Work and manpower loaded to complete the Work within the scheduled time
frames. The scheduling obligation shall include tracking the progress of the Owner's and Project
Designer's tasks and activities in relation to the milestone schedule and promptly notifying Owner
of any delay that might impact construction. The CMAR shall make recommendations to the
Owner, with a copy to the Project Designer, regarding strategies for overcoming any delay in the
design of the Project that will affect the construction schedule. The CMAR and the Project
Designer shall prepare, if deemed necessary, a schedule fixing dates upon which foreseeable
clarifications will be required. The schedule will be subject to addition or change in accordance
with progress of the Work. The Project Designer shall furnish drawings or clarifications in
accordance with that schedule. The CMAR shall not proceed with the Work without such detail
drawings and/or written clarifications.
25.8. The arrow network diagram will be drawn in a level of detail suitable for display of salient features
of the Work, including but not limited to the placing of orders for materials, submission of shop
drawings for approval,approval of shop drawings by the Project Designer and the Owner,delivery
of material, and all Work activities inclusive of punch list agreed to by the Owner. Each Work
activity shall be assigned a time estimate by the CMAR. One-day shall be the smallest time unit
used. Data shall also be provided in Gantt form. This schedule will not be the basis for invoicing,
but may be considered by the Design Professional and the Owner when evaluating the percentage
of Work represented to be complete in each schedule of values.
25.9. Upon completion of the network diagrams, the CMAR shall have computer input data prepared,
and a computer run made to generate a printout for the Project based on the information supplied.
In the event the completion date indicated by the schedule exceeds the contractual date, the logic
and time estimates used to develop the plan will be reviewed, changes made in the logic and time
estimates, and another computer run made to generate a new schedule. This procedure shall be
repeated,if necessary,to provide a plan and schedule to meet Owner requirements.All submissions
shall be both in hard copy and in electronic format.
25.10. Within fifteen (15) days of each GMP notice to proceed, the updated CPM schedule shall be
submitted to the Owner for review and approval. No application for payment will be processed
until the Project CPM schedule is approved by the Owner. This working plan shall show job
identification,job duration, manpower loading, cost loading, calendar dates for start and finish of
each job, and jobs critical to the completion of the Project on schedule. When approved by the
Owner,they shall become the working plan and schedule for the Project and such information shall
be provided to the Contractor for distribution to the Project Team. The CMAR shall distribute to
the Subcontractors the approved Project CPM schedule and shall display same at the job site.
25.11. The CMAR shall review the plan and schedule each week. An updated Project schedule shall be
furnished showing actual completed Work at the end of each month in respect to the entire Project.

significant General Condition's activities, including but not limited to agenda submittals, permit
and approvals applications and review of interim and final plans,specifications and bid packages.
25.13. The CMAR shall schedule and preside over regular site coordination meetings with Subcontractors
as conditions on the Project require, but at least weekly. In addition, the CMAR shall conduct
weekly progress meetings and other meetings as may be directed by the Owner, at which
Subcontractors, the Owner, the Project Designer, other designated representatives, and the CMAR
can discuss jointly such matters as progress, scheduling, and construction-related problems. All
Subcontractors shall be represented at these job progress conferences by both home office and
Project personnel,unless specifically excused by both the CMAR and the Owner. The CMAR shall
require attendance from other subcontractors and material suppliers who can contribute toward
maintaining required job progress. It shall be the principal purpose of these meetings, or
conferences, to effect coordination, cooperation and assistance in every practical way toward the
end of maintaining progress of the Project on schedule and to complete the Project within the
specified contract time. The CMAR shall be prepared to assess progress of the Work and to
recommend remedial measures for correction of progress as may be appropriate. The CMAR with
assistance from the Project Designer shall be the coordinator of the conferences and shall preside as
chairman. The CMAR shall take and distribute complete minutes of meetings to all attendees and
others as directed by the Owner within three (3) days of such meetings. Representatives of the
Owner may attend any or all meetings and shall in any case receive all notices and minutes of
meetings.
25.14. The CMAR shall keep accurate and detailed written records of Project progress during all stages of
construction. The CMAR shall maintain a detailed daily diary of all events, which occur at the

Work activities. The CMAR is to submit and conform the report format to the Owner's
requirements for these reports and prior to implementation the CMAR must obtain the Owner's
approval of the format. The Owner shall have no duty to respond to any information in the periodic
reports, unless the CMAR specifically requests a response or action by the Owner in writing in a
separate document.
25.17. The weekly status report shall show the actual Work completed to date in comparison with the
original amount of Work scheduled, inclusive of information on the Subcontractors' Work and the
percentage of completion for the Project. The report shall describe major milestones achieved and
slipped, including a discussion of each slippage. In addition to schedule information, the report
shall contain an overall summary of the financial status of the Project with a cost control report
with proposed solutions for resolution of any cost concerns or issues. The report shall contain a

the requirements of any OCIP,the report shall include an accident report.
25.18. If the Work is behind schedule, the CMAR must immediately provide written report of such
condition to the Owner and Project Designer and indicate in writing what measures are being taken
to bring the Work back on schedule and ensure that the contract completion date is not exceeded.If
the Work is greater than thirty (30) days behind schedule and no legitimate requests for time
extensions are in process, then the CMAR shall prepare and submit to the Project Designer a
recovery schedule for review and approval. Failure of the CMAR to abide by the directives in this
paragraph will give the Owner cause to terminate the Contract and pursue any other legal remedies
allowed it by law.
SHOP DRAWINGS,SUBMITTALS, SAMPLES,DATA
25.19. The CMAR shall develop and implement a system for review, acceptance or rejection, and
processing of all shop drawings and submittals, including the projected lead-time on the CPM
schedule. The CMAR shall review this system with the Owner and the Project Designer,and obtain
the Owner's approval prior to implementation.
25.20. Within 30 consecutive calendar days of the notice to proceed with each GMP, a schedule for
anticipated submission of all shop drawings,product data, samples, and similar submittals shall be

throughout construction until all shop drawings/submittals have been approved by the Project
Designer and completion reported to the Owner.
25.23. The CMAR shall include shop drawings as an agenda item on all Owner meetings and advise the
Owner immediately of any delays in the shop drawing and submittal process.
25.24. The CMAR shall develop a shop drawing and submittal aging report which is to be submitted to
the Owner at each weekly progress meeting.
25.25. Approval of shop drawings by the Project Designer shall not be construed as relieving the CMAR
from responsibility for compliance with the design or terms of the Contract Documents nor from
responsibility of errors of any sort in the shop drawings, unless such error has been called to the
attention of the Project Designer in separate writing by the CMAR.
26.SUBSTITUTION REQUESTS
26.1. The CMAR will be responsible for logging all substitution requests. The CMAR will be
responsible for reviewing all substitution requests to insure that they are complete; and, if not,
return them to the Subcontractor for proper submission. The CMAR will be responsible to review
all substitution requests prior to submission to the Project Designer and the Owner.It is to be noted
Page 29 of 52
Revised 12/24,4/25
33
that the Owner discourages substitutions and the Owner's approval will be granted only upon the
most persuasive arguments as to quality, function and financial merit regarding a substitution. The
CMAR shall be responsible for tracking and monitoring all substitution requests throughout
construction until all substitution requests are processed by the Project Designer and the Owner.
The CMAR shall be responsible to see that all substitution requests are submitted in a timely
manner per the specifications. The CMAR shall include substitution requests,if any,on the agenda
topic at the Owner's meetings and advise the Owner immediately of any delays in the substitution
request process.

The CMAR will be responsible for logging and reviewing all RFI's prior to submission to the
Owner and the Project Designer. The CMAR is to insure that the RFI's submitted are appropriate
and not frivolous. The CMAR shall be responsible for tracking and monitoring all RFI's
throughout construction in a timely manner until they are processed by the Project Designer and the
Owner. The CMAR shall include RFI's as an agenda topic at all Owner meetings and advise the
Owner immediately of any delays in their process. All responses to the RFI's that have an added
cost impact must also be discussed with the Owner immediately upon such determination. The
CMAR shall develop an RFI aging report that is to be submitted to the Owner at each progress
meeting.
28.SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
28.1. The date of substantial completion of the Work or designated portion thereof is the date certified by
the Project Designer when the Work or a designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete, in
accordance with the Construction Documents, so the Owner can fully occupy and utilize the Work
or designated portion thereof for the use for which it is intended. Only incidental corrective Work
and any final cleaning beyond that needed for the Owner's full use may remain for final
completion. The issuance of a temporary or final certificate of occupancy shall not, in itself,
constitute substantial completion.
28.2. When the CMAR considers that the Work, or a designated portion thereof which is acceptable to
the Owner, is substantially complete as defined above, the CMAR shall prepare for and submit to
the Project Designer and Owner a list of all items which in the CMAR'S opinion are to be
completed or corrected and shall attach it to a request in writing that the Project Designer perform a
substantial completion inspection. The Owner's occupancy of incomplete Work shall not alter the
CMAR's responsibilities. The Project Designer shall review the CMAR'S list and shall compile a
punch list of items to be corrected and completed.The failure to include any items on such list does
not alter the responsibility of the CMAR to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
28.3. When the Owner,Project Designer and CMAR,on the basis of an inspection,jointly determine that
the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Project Designer will then
prepare a certificate of substantial completion which shall establish the date of substantial
completion, shall state the responsibilities of the Owner and the CMAR for security, maintenance,
heat, utilities, damage to the Work, and insurance, and shall signify the beginning of the time
within which the CMAR shall complete the items listed therein. Warranties required by the
Contract Documents shall commence on the date of substantial completion of the Work or
designated portion thereof,unless otherwise provided in the certificate of substantial completion.
28.4. The certificate of substantial completion shall be submitted to the Owner and the CMAR for their
written acceptance of the responsibilities assigned to them in such certificate. Upon substantial
completion of the Work or designated portion thereof and upon application by the CMAR and
certification by the Project Designer, the Owner shall make payment, except retainage held
Page 30 of 52
Revised 12/24,4/25
34
pursuant to the Contract Documents, for such Work or portion thereof as provided in the Contract
Documents.
28.5. The acceptance of substantial completion payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims for
payment by the CMAR and its Subcontractors, except those previously made in writing and
identified by the CMAR as unsettled at the time the CMAR submits the application for payment for
substantial completion,and except for the retained sums due at final acceptance.
28.6. In addition to any and all other indemnification required by this Contract the CMAR shall
indemnify and hold the Owner harmless against any claims by its Subcontractors that are waived
because they were not made in writing and identified by the CMAR as unsettled when the CMAR
submitted the application for payment for substantial completion.
28.7. The Owner shall have the option to correct or complete any and all punch list items not completed
by the CMAR to the satisfaction of the Project Designer and the Owner within forty five(45)days
for any GMP package of less than 1 year's duration and not more than ninety (90) days from the
actual date of substantial completion for any GMP package of more than 1 year's duration by
utilizing its own forces or by hiring others. The cost of such correction of remaining punch list
items by the Owner or others shall be deducted from the final payment to the CMAR.
28.8. If CMAR does not complete certain punch list items within the required time period, all warranties
and guarantees for such incomplete punch list items shall become effective upon CMAR
submitting to the Owner and Project Designer certification of the date such items were completed
and approval by the Owner's Representative and Project Designer.. The issuance of the certificate
of substantial completion does not indicate final acceptance of the Project by the Owner, and the
CMAR is not relieved of any responsibility for the Project except as specifically stated in the
certificate of substantial completion.
28.9. Should the Project Designer and the Owner determine that the Work or a designated portion thereof
is not substantially complete, they shall provide the CMAR with written notice stating why the
Work or designated portion is not substantially complete. The CMAR shall expeditiously complete
the Work and shall re-request in writing that the Project Designer perform another substantial
completion inspection. Costs, if any, associated with such re-inspection shall be assessed to the
CMAR at the rates specified in the Project Designer's contract.
29.PARTIAL UTILIZATIONBENEFICIAL OCCUPANCY
29.1. The Owner may desire to occupy or utilize all or a portion of the Project when the Work for that
portion is substantially complete.
29.2. Prior to the final payment, the Owner may request the CMAR in writing, through the Project
Designer if applicable, to permit the Owner to use a specified part of the Project which the Owner
believes it may use without significant interference with construction of the other parts of the
Project. If the CMAR agrees,the Project Designer will schedule a beneficial occupancy inspection
after which the Project Designer may issue a certificate of substantial completion. The certificate
shall include the following documentation:
29.2.1. Date of substantial completion.
29.2.2. A tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment.
29.2.3. Establishing responsibility between the CMAR and Owner for maintenance,heat,utilities
and insurance.
29.2.4. Establishing the date for guarantees and warranties under the terms of the Contract.

Revised 12/24,4/25
35
29.2.5. Consent of surety.
29.2.6. Endorsement from the CMAR'S insurance company permitting occupancy shall be a
condition precedent to the Owner's occupancy of a part or parts of the Project, but may be
requested by the Owner in its discretion.
29.3. The Owner shall have the right to exclude the CMAR from any part of the Project which the
Project Designer has so certified to be substantially complete,but the Owner will allow the CMAR
reasonable access to complete or correct Work to bring it into compliance with the Contract.
Contractors allowed to Work in substantially complete and occupied areas shall clean up after their
operations daily or be subject to back charges therefor. Occupancy by the Owner under this article
will in no way relieve the CMAR from its contractual requirement to complete the Project within
the specified time.
30.FINAL INSPECTION,ACCEPTANCE,AND PROJECT CLOSEOUT
30.1. The CMAR is responsible for the close out requirements under the Contract. The CMAR is to
Work closely with the Owner as to the procedures and schedule for contract close-out and the

Designer shall make a preliminary final inspection to verify that the Project is complete and ready
for final inspection. Prior to final inspection, the CMAR shall complete all items requiring
corrective measures noted at the preliminary inspection.The Project Designer shall schedule a final
inspection at a time and date acceptable to the Owner and the CMAR.
30.4. At the final inspection, the Project Designer shall, if job conditions warrant, record a list of items
that are found to be incomplete or not in accordance with the Construction Documents. At the
conclusion of the final inspection,the Project Designer shall make the following determinations:
30.4.1. That the Project is completed and accepted.
30.4.2. That the Project is accepted subject to the list of discrepancies (punch list). Subject to
unavoidable delays in the delivery of materials needed to correct or complete discrepancies, all
punch list items must be completed within thirty(30)days of acceptance or the Owner may invoke
Owner's Right to Do Work.
30.4.3. That the Project is not complete and another date for a final inspection will be established.
30.5. Within fourteen(14)days of acceptance or within fourteen(14)days after completion of punch list,
the Project Designer shall certify the Work and issue applicable certificate(s)of compliance.
30.6. Any discrepancies listed or discovered after the date of final inspection and acceptance shall be
resolved as a warranty item.
30.7. The CMAR shall obtain as-built and product data from Subcontractors and maintain a current set of
record drawings, specifications and operating manuals. For mechanical and electrical equipment,
the CMAR is to obtain the operating and maintenance (O&M) manuals at least three (3) months
prior to the demonstration for such equipment. These O&M manuals are to be sent to the Owner's
representative who is to forward one(1)set to the Owner's department responsible for maintaining
the facility for review prior to the equipment demonstration.

Revised 12/24,4/25
36
30.8. At the completion of the Project and before final payment, the CMAR shall deliver a complete set
of as-built drawings for use by the Project Designer in preparing Record Drawings.
31.COST CONTROL
31.1. The CMAR shall develop and maintain an effective system of Project cost control. Elements of the
system of Project cost control will include Project budgets, GMP proposals, the critical path
schedule,and cash flow forecasts and reports,all in formats to be approved by the Owner.
31.2. The CMAR shall incorporate into each element of the system of Project cost control all Owner
approved changes as they occur,update and refine the GMP, and develop reports and forecasts as
needed, or as directed by the Owner. The CMAR shall identify variances between actual and
estimated costs and advise the Owner whenever projected cost exceeds allowances or estimates.
31.3. The CMAR shall check and supervise all material deliveries, equipment and labor entering the
Work site.The CMAR shall maintain cost accounting records on authorized Work performed under
unit costs, actual costs for labor and material, or other bases requiring accounting records, and
afford the Owner access to these records and preserve them for a period of three (3) years after
final payment.The Owner reserves the right to audit these records during that period.
32.CHANGES IN THE WORK
32.1. The CMAR shall develop and implement a system for review, negotiation, and processing of
proposed Change Orders. The CMAR shall,with complete supporting data,recommend necessary
desirable changes to the Owner and the Project Designer for approval.

materials, services or site; or (4) directing acceleration in the performance of the Work.
Furthermore, it is understood and agreed that refinement and detailing may be accomplished from
time to time with respect to the drawings and specifications. The CMAR's entitlement to an
increase in the GMP or an extension of time, or both, if any, for such changes shall be determined
in accordance with this Contract.
32.3. No adjustment in the Guaranteed Maximum Price or the Scheduled Completion Date shall be made
unless such change, refinement or detailing results in changes in the scope and/or design of the
Project, or as otherwise required under the Contract Documents, as reasonably determined by the
Owner.
32.4. The Owner's Representative has the authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving an
adjustment in the GMP or time for completion, and not inconsistent with the intent of the
Construction Documents. Such changes shall be effected by written order and shall be binding on
the Owner and the CMAR. The CMAR shall not perform any changes in the Work unless
authorized in writing by the Owner. The CMAR's performance of minor changes pursuant to this
section shall not constitute a waiver of any claim the CMAR may have for additional compensation
or time. Any claim the CMAR may have, however, shall be filed in strict conformance with this
Contract.
32.5. No Change Order will be issued for resolution of conflicts in the documents which are to be
covered by the CMAR-GMP Contingency.
32.6. Except in an emergency endangering life or property, no change shall be made by the CMAR

countersigned by the Owner's representative authorizing such change.No claim for increases in the
GMP shall be honored or valid unless this procedure is followed. A field order,transmitted by fax
or hand-delivered,may be used where the change involved impacts the critical path of the Work.A
formal change order shall be issued within the time stated on the field order.
Page 33 of 52
Revised 12/24,4/25
37
32.7. The CMAR shall notify the Owner in writing(and copy to Project Designer)if the CMAR believes
that a change in scope or design will require a change in the GMP. The Owner shall have the right
to require the performance thereof on a lump sum basis, a unit price not to exceed basis, or a time
and material not to exceed basis.
32.8. The CMAR shall notify the Project Designer and the Owner of such changes before trade bids for
the Work associated are requested. The Owner and CMAR shall reach agreement on the nature of
the subject change and upon the Owner's direction eliminate the circumstances of the change or
negotiate a mutually agreed cost change to be made to the GMP.
32.9. The CMAR acknowledges that some changes in the Project may require approval by the Board. So
as not to delay the Project, the CMAR shall notify the Owner's representative of any deadlines for
responses and how the Owner's failure to respond will impact the Project schedule.

the change order will be prepared and settled as outlined herein.
33.CLAIMS FOR EXTRA COST
33.1. If the CMAR or any of its Subcontractors asserts that any event or occurrence has caused a change
in or addition to the Work which change causes an increase or decrease in the GMP or the time
required for the performance of any part of the Work under the Contract, including Work not
affected directly by the change,the CMAR shall,within ten(10)working days of such event, give
the Owner and Project Designer written notice as herein required. Said notice shall include the
instructions or circumstances that are the basis of the claim and the CMAR's best estimate of the
cost and time involved. The statement of claim hereunder may be included in the notice required
above. The statement of claim shall include all direct,indirect and impact costs associated with the
change, as well as the CMAR's estimate of the schedule impact of the change, if any. The CMAR
and its Subcontractors shall not be entitled to reimbursement or an increase in the GMP for any
claims that are not filed in strict conformance with this section. The CMAR shall not proceed with
the Work affected until further advised, except in emergency involving the safety of life or
property. No claims for extra compensation will be considered unless the claim is so made. The
Project Designer shall review and render a written decision on each claim for extra cost within
seven (7) days of receipt of claim. Failure to submit a timely claim for additional cost will
constitute a waiver of said claim.
33.2. The CMAR shall not act on instructions received by it from persons other than the Project
Designer, and any claims for extra compensation or extension of time on account of such
instruction will not be honored.The Project Designer will not be responsible for misunderstandings

case shall instructions be interpreted as permitting a departure from the Contract Documents unless
such instruction is confirmed in writing and supported by a properly authorized change order.
Page 36 of 52
Revised 12/24,4/25
40
33.3. A claim for extra cost shall include a claim for an increase in the CMAR Fee.Approved claims for
extra cost, will be considered change orders for which CMAR is entitled to an increase in its Fee
under Paragraph 3.3 herein.
33.4. If the parties are unable to agree to the reasonable cost and time to perform the change, or are
unable to agree as to whether a change occurred,the Owner's representative shall make a unilateral
determination regarding the basis of proceeding, subject to dispute resolution at a later time. The
CMAR shall proceed with the Work as directed by the Owner's representative.
33.5. Should a claim for an increase in the GMP by the CMAR be denied by the Owner the CMAR may
request mediation in connection with the dispute resolution rules adopted for this Project.
34.DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS
34.1. Should the CMAR encounter subsurface or latent conditions,or both at the site materially differing
from those shown on the drawings or indicated in the specifications or differing materially from
those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in Work of the character
provided for in this Contract, the CMAR shall immediately, and in no event later than thirty (30)
days later, give notice to the Owner of such conditions before they are disturbed. The Owner and
the Project Designer shall thereupon promptly investigate the conditions and if they find that they
materially differ from those shown on the drawings or indicated in the specifications, they shall at
once make such changes in the drawings and/or specifications as they may find necessary. Any
increase or decrease in the Cost of the Work resulting from such changes shall be adjusted in the
manner provided herein for adjustments as to extra and/or additional Work and changes. However,
neither the Owner nor the Project Designer shall be liable or responsible for additional Work,costs
or changes to the Work that could have been reasonably determined from any geotechnical, soils
and other reports, surveys and analyses made available for the CMAR's review or that could have
been discovered by the CMAR through the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Contract.
35.CORRECTION OF WORK BEFORE FINAL PAYMENT
35.1. Any Work, materials, fabricated items or other parts of the Work which have been condemned,
rejected, or declared not in accordance with the Contract by the Project Designer shall be promptly
removed from the Work site by the CMAR, and shall be immediately replaced by new Work in

after receipt of notice from the Project Designer, and shall make satisfactory progress until
completed.
35.3. Should the CMAR fail to proceed with the required corrections,then the Owner shall have the right
to complete the Work under the terms herein.
36.CORRECTION OF WORK AFTER FINAL PAYMENT
36.1. Neither the final certificate, final payment, occupancy of the premises by the Owner, nor any
provision of the Contract, nor any other act or instrument of the Owner, nor the Project Designer,
shall relieve the CMAR from responsibility for negligence, for faulty material or workmanship, for
breach of any warranty or guarantee, or for failure to comply with the drawings and specifications.
The CMAR shall correct any defects due thereto and repair any damage resulting therefrom,which
may appear during the guarantee period following Substantial Completion of the Work in
accordance with its warranty and guarantee. The Owner will report any defects as they may appear
to the CMAR and establish a time limit for completion of corrections by the CMAR. The Owner
Page 37 of 52
Revised 12/24,4/25
41
will be the judge as to the responsibility for correction of defects subject to the dispute resolution
procedures incorporated herein.
37.UNCORRECTED FAULTY WORK
37.1. Should the correction of faulty or damaged Work be considered inadvisable or inexpedient by the
Owner and the Project Designer, the Owner shall be equitably reimbursed by the CMAR. The
reimbursement may be deducted from any amounts due or to become due to the CMAR. Should the
cost of such reimbursement exceed the amount due or to become due the CMAR, then the CMAR
or its surety, or both, shall be liable for and shall pay to the Owner the amount of said deficiency.
The CMAR may in turn deduct such reimbursements from amounts due to responsible
Subcontractors including funds retained by the Owner for warranty period.
38.OWNER'S RIGHT TO DO WORK
38.1. If, during the progress of the Work or during the period of guarantee,the CMAR fails to prosecute
the Work properly or to perform any provision of the Contract,the Owner, after fifteen(15) days'
written notice sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the CMAR and the Project
Designer,may perform or have performed that portion of the Work. The cost of the Work may be
deducted from any amounts due or to become due to the CMAR, such action and cost of same
having been first approved by the Project Designer. Should the cost of such action of the Owner
exceed the amount due or to become due the CMAR,then the CMAR or its surety,or both, shall be
liable for and shall pay to the Owner the amount of said excess.
39.TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE
39.1. The Owner may terminate this Contract at any time and for any reason including, without
limitation, failure of the parties to reach agreement on any GMP. In the event this Contract is
terminated pursuant to this provision, the CMAR shall, as requested by the Owner, cancel all
contracts for Work or cooperate with the Owner to assign contracts for Work to the Owner or the
Owner's designee. The Owner shall pay the CMAR all costs of the Work incurred by the CMAR,
including cancellation costs, settlement costs, demobilization costs and restocking Fees, until all
contracts with the CMAR can be canceled or assigned. Otherwise,the CMAR shall only receive its
Fee, and general conditions costs incurred through demobilization from the Project, through the
date of termination plus a reasonable period for demobilization.
39.2. Termination under this paragraph shall not release either the CMAR or its surety from liability or
responsibility for any default or other transaction or occurrence prior to the date of termination and
demobilization from the Project.

of the Work is not maintained on schedule, or fails to complete the Work within the time above
specified, or shall allow the Work to be performed unsuitably or shall discontinue the prosecution
of the Work, or if the CMAR shall become insolvent or be declared bankrupt or commit any act of
bankruptcy or insolvency,or allow any final judgment to stand against it unsatisfied for a period of
seventy-two (72) hours, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or for any other
material cause whatsoever shall not carry on the Work in an acceptable manner, the Owner may
give notice in writing, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the CMAR and its surety
of such delay,neglect or default, specifying the same,and if the CMAR within a period of ten(10)
days after such notice shall not proceed in accordance therewith,then upon the Owner's issuance of
notice of default, the Owner shall have full power and authority,without violating the Contract,to
take the prosecution of the Work out of the hands of said CMAR,to appropriate or use any or all
Contract materials and equipment on the grounds as may be suitable and acceptable and may enter
into an agreement, either by public letting or negotiation, for the completion of said Contract
Page 38 of 52
Revised 12/24,4/25
42
according to the terms and provisions thereof or use such other methods as in its opinion shall be
required for the completion of said Contract in an acceptable manner. All costs and charges
incurred by the Owner, together with the costs of completing the Work under Contract, shall be
deducted from any monies due or which may become due said CMAR and surety. In case the
expense so incurred by the Owner shall be less than the sum which would have been payable under
the Contract, if it had been completed by said CMAR, then the said CMAR and surety shall be
entitled to receive the difference,but in case such expense shall exceed the sum which would have
been payable under the Contract,then the CMAR and the surety shall be liable and shall pay to the
Owner the amount of said excess.
40.2. It is further mutually agreed between the parties hereto that if at any time after the execution of this
Contract and the surety bonds hereto attached for its faithful performance, the Owner shall deem
the surety or sureties upon such bonds to be unsatisfactory,or if for any reason such bonds cease to
be adequate to cover the performance of the Work,the CMAR shall, at its expense,within five(5)
days after the receipt of notice from the Owner so to do, furnish an additional bond or bonds in
such form and amount, and with such surety or sureties as shall be satisfactory to the Owner. In
such event no further payment to the CMAR shall be deemed to be due under this Contract until
such new or additional security for the faithful performance of the Work shall be furnished in
manner and form satisfactory to the Owner.
40.3. In the event it is determined by a court of law that termination under this paragraph was not
justified, the termination of the CMAR will be treated as if it were a termination for convenience
hereunder.
41.CONSTRUCTION MANAGER'S RIGHT TO STOP WORK OR TERMINATE THE CONTRACT
41.1. Should the Work be stopped for a period of three months by order of a court having jurisdiction or
by order of any other public authority due to cause beyond the fault or control of the CMAR, or if
the Owner should fail or refuse to make payment on account of a certificate issued by the Project
Designer within thirty (30) days after receipt of same, then the CMAR, after fifteen (15) days'
written notice to the Owner and the Project Designer, may suspend operations on the Work or
terminate the Contract.
41.2. The Owner shall be liable to the CMAR for the cost of the Work delivered and performed on this
Contract plus all General Conditions costs incurred to date plus its fee earned to date,plus damages
in the event of the Owner's default, and shall make such payment. The Project Designer shall
determine and certify the correctness of such payment.
42.REQUEST FOR PAYMENT
42.1. Prior to payment by the Owner, the Project Designer shall review and approve the CMAR's pay
applications. Based on applications for payment submitted to the Project Designer by the CMAR
and certificates for payment issued by the Project Designer, the Owner shall make progress

date fixed above,payment shall be made by the Owner not later than thirty days
after the Project Designer receives the application for payment. Interest will be
assessed on all progress payments not received within the thirty (30) day terms.
Owner shall be charged interest calculated at the current Prime Interest Rate +
2%. Payment instructions will be provided, and preferred method is via wire or
ACH.
42.6. With each application for payment for Work performed directly by the CMAR and such
Subcontractors as the Owner may specify, the CMAR shall submit transaction summaries and, if
requested by the Owner, payrolls, petty cash accounts, receipted invoices or invoices with check
vouchers attached, and any other evidence required by the Owner or Project Designer to
demonstrate that cash disbursements already made by the CMAR on account of general conditions
and the Cost of the Work equal or exceed (1) progress payments already received by the CMAR
less (2)that portion of those payments attributable to the CMAR's Fee;plus(3)payrolls and costs
for the period covered by the present application for payment.
42.7. The CMAR shall submit a schedule of values that allocates the entire GMP among the various
portions of the Work,except that the CMAR's Fee shall be shown as a separate item. The schedule
of values shall be prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as
the Project Designer may require. This schedule,unless objected to by the Project Designer, shall
be used as a basis for reviewing the CMAR's applications for payment. The Project Designer may
also use the Project critical path schedule when reviewing the CMAR's applications for payment.
42.8. Each application for payment shall be compared to the most recent schedule of values submitted by
the CMAR. Applications for payment shall show the percentage completion of each portion of the
Work as of the end of the period covered by the application for payment. The percentage

42.9. Subject to other provisions of the Contract, the amount of each progress payment shall be
computed as follows:
42.9.1. Take that portion of the GMP properly allocable to completed Work as determined by
multiplying the percentage completion of each portion of the Work by the share of the GMP
allocated to that portion of the Work in the schedule of values.
42.9.2. Add that portion of the GMP properly allocable to materials and equipment delivered and
suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the Work or if approved in
advance by the Owner,suitably stored off site at a location agreed upon in writing.
42.9.3. Add the CMAR's Fee: the CMAR's portion of the Fee for construction phase services
shall be an amount which bears the same ration to the fixed-sum Fee as the total payment
described in the two preceding clauses bears to the cost of the Work defined in the
Contract Documents.
42.9.4. Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner.
42.9.5. Subtract the amount, in any, by which the CMAR has been previously overpaid, as

44
42.9.7. Subtract retainage as provided below.
42.10 Except with the Owner's prior approval,payments allocated to Subcontractors shall be subject to a
retention of five (5%). Whenever any item of Work indicated on the CMAR's schedule of values
is completed on or before a target date mutually agreed upon by the Owner, Project Designer and
the CMAR, and the Project Designer and Owner agree the Work is completed, the Owner may
reduce the amount of retainage on that item by fifty(50%)for the remainder of the Project.
42.11 Retainage in the traditional sense shall not be held on the CMAR's Fee;.
Satisfactory completion and close out of the Project means that the Owner and
Project Designer are satisfied that the Project has been completed in accordance
with the Construction Documents and within the GMP, all general conditions of
the Contract pertaining to the close out have been satisfied,and all Subcontractors
have satisfactorily completed their respective contracts. Retainage is applicable
only as related to Subcontractors. There will be no retainage held on the
following costs: general conditions, general requirements, site services,

the agreement between the Owner and Project Designer. The Project Designer's certification for
payment shall be based upon the Project Designer's on-site observation and the documentation
submitted in accordance with this paragraph and the CMAR's application for payment.
43.CERTIFICATES OF PAYMENT AND FINAL PAYMENT
43.1. Within five (5) days from receipt of request for payment from the CMAR, the Project Designer
shall issue and forward to the Owner a certificate for payment. This certificate shall indicate the
amount requested or as approved by the Project Designer. If the certificate is not approved by the
Project Designer, it shall state in writing to the CMAR and the Owner its reasons for withholding
payment.No certificate issued or payment made shall constitute an acceptance of the Work or any
part thereof.
1.1. 43.2. The Owner reserves the right, prior to making final payment to the
CMAR,to conduct a final audit of the expenditures by the CMAR on the Project
for assurances that the final payment to the CMAR does not exceed the amounts
properly payable to the CMAR for the Cost of the Work, General Conditions,
any special allowances, and CMAR-GMP Contingency savings. In the event an
audit determines that the CMAR has been paid more than it is entitled to be paid
under the Contract, the CMAR will refund the overpayment to the Owner.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Owner's audit
rights shall not extend to any lump sum amounts,unit rates,established charges,
fixed rates or multipliers.

fully comply with all requirements specified in the"Project closeout"section of the specifications.
These requirements include but not limited to the following:
43.5.1. Submittal of Product and Operating Manuals, Warranties and Bonds, Guarantees,
Maintenance Agreements, As-Built Drawings, Certificates of Inspection or Approval
from agencies having jurisdiction. (The Project Designer must approve the Manuals prior
to delivery to the Owner).
43.5.2. Transfer of required attic stock material and all keys in an organized manner.
43.5.3. Record of Owner's training.
43.5.4. Resolution of any final inspection discrepancies.

44.CONTRACTOR'S AFFIDAVIT
44.1. The final payment of retained amounts due the CMAR on account of the Contract shall not become
due until the CMAR has furnished to the Owner through the Project Designer an affidavit signed,
sworn and notarized to the effect that all payments for materials, services or contracted Work to
Subcontractors in connection with this Contract have been satisfied, and that no claims or liens
exist against the CMAR in connection with this Contract. In the event that the CMAR cannot
obtain similar affidavits from Subcontractors to protect the CMAR and the Owner from possible
liens or claims against the CMAR,the CMAR shall state in its affidavit that no claims or liens exist
against any Subcontractor to the best of its(the CMAR's)knowledge, and if any appear afterward,
the CMAR shall save the Owner harmless from all claims by any Subcontractor or other claimant
for payment or any other compensation for Work on the Project.
45.TAXES
Page 42 of 52
Revised 12/24,4/25
46
45.1. North Carolina sales tax and use tax, as required by law, apply to materials entering into county
Work and such costs shall be included in all bid proposals and contract sums.
45.2. Local option sales and use taxes, as required by law, apply to materials entering into county Work
as applicable and such costs shall be included in all bid proposals and contract sums.
45.3. The CMAR shall give the Owner a signed tax statement containing the information listed in G.S.
105-164.14(e)before any payment requests submitted will be due.
45.4. The Department of Revenue has agreed as of April 1, 1991 that in lieu of obtaining copies of sales
receipts from Subcontractors, an agency may obtain a certified statement from the Subcontractor
setting forth the date,the type of property and the cost of the property purchased from each vendor,
the county in which the vendor made the sale and the amount of local sales and use taxes paid
thereon. If the property was purchased out-of-state,the county in which the property was delivered
should be listed. The Subcontractor should also be notified that the certified statement may be
subject to audit.
45.5. In the event the CMAR makes several purchases from the same vendor, such certified statement
must indicate the invoice numbers, the inclusive dates of the invoices, the total amount of the
invoices,the counties, and the county sales and use taxes paid thereon. The position of a sale is the
retailer's place of business located within a taxing county where the vendor becomes contractually
obligated to make the sale. Therefore, it is important that the county tax be reported for the county
of sale rather than the county of use.When property is purchased from out-of-state vendors and the
county tax is charged, the county should be identified where delivery is made when reporting the
county tax. Such statement must also include the cost of any tangible personal property withdrawn
from the CMAR's warehouse stock and the amount of county sales or use tax paid thereon by the
CMAR. Similar certified statements by its Subcontractors must be obtained by the CMAR and
furnished.
45.6. The CMAR and its Subcontractors are not to include any tax paid on supplies,tools,and equipment
which they use to perform their contracts and should include only those building materials,
supplies, fixtures and equipment which actually become a part of or annexed to the building or
structure.
45.7. Any sales tax refunds paid to the Owner shall be exclusively for the Owner's use and shall not in
any way reduce the cost of the Project or impact the GMP.
46.PAYMENTS WITHHELD
46.1. The Project Designer may withhold a certificate for payment in whole or in part, to the extent
reasonably necessary to protect the Owner. If the Project Designer is unable to certify payment in
the amount of the application, the Project Designer will notify the CMAR and the Owner in
writing.If the CMAR and Project Designer cannot agree on a revised amount,the Project Designer
will promptly issue a certificate for payment for the amount for which the Project Designer is able
to make such representations to the Owner. The Project Designer may also withhold a certificate
for payment, in whole or in part, to such extent as may be necessary in the Project Designer's
opinion to protect the Owner from loss for which the CMAR or the Subcontractor(s)is responsible,
including loss resulting from acts and omissions,because of:
46.1.1. Defective Work not remedied;

CMAR's liability under the indemnities granted to the Owner in this Contract. Any umbrella or
excess liability coverage must be at least as broad as the primary coverage and contain all
coverage provisions that are required of the primary coverage.

nonconformity discovered by or made known to the CMAR as a request for information in such

56.1. The Owner shall cause all contractors that it engages under separate contracts to agree to
indemnify the Owner and CMAR and hold them harmless from all claims that may arise from that
contractor's operations;and to name Owner and CMAR as additional insureds on its insurance
policies. Such provisions shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the CMAR. Such liability
insurance shall be primary and non-contributory as it relates claims arising from such separate
contractor's scope of work;and separate contractors shall cause each of its liability and worker's
compensation carriers to waive its rights of subrogation against CMAR and its Subcontractors.

increased or new taxes or tariffs on goods and materials,resulting delivery delays,and other
similar impacts resulting from such Unforeseeable Government Actions.
57.2. Such Unforeseeable Government Actions may create instability,delays,shortages,and other
impacts on materials,pricing,labor,equipment,and supplies needed for the construction of the
Project(collectively"Unforeseen Government Impacts").In the event CMAR or its Trade
Contractors are adversely impacted from Unforeseen Government Impacts,then the Contract Time
shall be extended for such reasonable time as the Project Designer may determine and the GMP
equitably adjusted accordingly by Change Order.The CMAR and Owner acknowledge that they
have a mutual obligation to mitigate the Unforeseen Government Impacts to the extent reasonable
under the circumstances.
