005.05 Contract Scope and Price, and Change Orders

of 34 Contract Scope and Price, and Change Orders 005.05


1. Contract Scope and Price.

Definition: This is the Subcontract price for the Scope of Work associated with Subcontractor or Supplier’s base Subcontract amount.

a. Subcontract is written with the intent to be a "turn-key" agreement, inclusive of all anticipated costs, fees, and taxes. All labor, installation, materials, insurance, equipment, and clean-up of any debris left by workers will be included in the Subcontract price for a complete operation.

b. Subcontract prices are good for duration of Subcontract.

c. Subcontract is based on a lump sum amount. Field measuring quantities for final payment is not an option. Units and quantities may be indicated for scope determination only.

d. Subcontractor agrees to provide all required mobilizations necessary to complete Scope of Work.

e. Subcontractor agrees that Subcontract is inclusive of all incidentals required for a complete Scope of Work and all functional intent that may or may not be expressly implied within the plans and specifications.

2. Change Order Work.

Definition: Any Work that changes the Scope of Work of the Subcontractor or Supplier’s base Subcontract. This classification includes both “changes in Scope of Work” and “extra Work” as further defined in paragraphs “3” and “5” below.

a. Instructions for change order Work of any type will be in writing. All change order Work must be approved in writing by Construction Manager’s Project Manager before Work commences. Any extra work performed by Subcontractor without prior written instructions will be at Subcontractor’s expense.

b. Subcontractor shall ensure that field supervisors are familiar with the extent and Scope of Work so that Work is not delayed due to arguments regarding contractual responsibilities.

3. Change in Scope of Work.

Definition: A change initiated by the Owner that adds to or deletes from Subcontractor’s Scope of Work or affects the time required for the performance of the Work.

a. Construction Manager will review all changes initiated by the Owner or Architect, assign a control number, and forward the information to applicable Subcontractors. Subcontractors must reply in writing within five (5) days.

b. If Subcontractor submits a quotation (Change Proposal) and does not specify that a time extension is required, Subcontractor will be required to complete the Work, including the Work required by the change, as indicated by the most current Project Schedule.

c. Reference each change only by Construction Manager’s control number. Change Proposals that do not have the proper control number listed or a complete cost and breakdown will be returned to Subcontractor with no action taken.




d. When Subcontractor submits a Change Proposal for a change under a particular control number, it will be assumed to cover all Work required by that change unless indicated otherwise. It is Subcontractor’s responsibility to investigate the total scope of the change and notify Construction Manager at the time Subcontractor submits the Change Proposal of any exclusions or qualifications that would affect Subcontractor’s quote.

4. Disputed Work.

Definition: Work that is considered to be “extra” by Subcontractor but considered to be “base contract work” by Construction Manager, or Work that is believed to be beyond the scope of the Prime Contract with the Owner.

a. The procedure used to document and track the work is to be the same as that used for “Time and Material” Work. The signature of Construction Manager’s Project Superintendent on time and material daily slips is only to verify the Work that was performed. Signature is not an acceptance of responsibility for the cost of the Work, nor an affirmation that Work may be considered “extra.”

5. Extra Work.

Definition: Work beyond the scope of the Contract that is performed for other Subcontractors or Construction Manager. Procedure used to document and track Extra Work shall be the same as that used for Time and Material Work as defined in Paragraph “6” below.

6. Time and Material Work (“T&M”).

On limited occasions, Construction Manger may direct Subcontractor to do work on a T&M basis. If Subcontractor is so directed, the Cost of the Work shall be documented as follows.

a. T&M slips must be signed on a daily basis by Construction Manager’s Project Superintendent. One copy of the signed slip must be given to Construction Manager’s Project Superintendent or turned in at the Project site office. Information on the daily slips must include:

1) Date;

2) Subcontractor name;

3) Complete description of the work, including type, location, extent, quantities, etc.;

4) Number of hours worked by each labor classification;

5) Material used;

6) Equipment used; and

7) Construction Manager’s control number (if applicable).

b. Daily T&M slips that do not have the proper Construction Manager required information will be considered “VOID.”

c. Quotations for T&M must be submitted within ten (10) working days of the completion of Work. Copies of the signed daily T&M slips must be submitted as backup. Payment will not be authorized without signed time and material slips.




7. Deleted Material.

If material that was to have been purchased by Subcontractor as part of the Work is deleted by an Architect- or Owner-initiated change prior to installation, one of the following options will be used per Owner’s direction.

a. Credit will be given to Owner for the cost of the material minus any reasonable restocking charge.

b. Material will be turned over to Owner (only if the material cannot be returned to the manufacturer or supplier for a reasonable credit). An installation credit may be required depending on the activity in dispute.

Unless otherwise noted, material turned over to Owner must be turned over at the time that the building itself is being turned over and accepted by Owner (not at the time of the change).

1) Subcontractor must store the material (off-site, if required) until it is turned over. Subcontractor will be responsible for the care and custody of the material until it is turned over to Owner. All costs associated with the handling, storage, and turnover of the material are to be included in Subcontractor’s Change Proposal at the time the material is deleted.

2) Subcontractor must keep an accounting of all deleted material and submit an up-dated list with each progress payment request. Information on the list must include the Construction Manager’s change in which the material was deleted and quantities and descriptions of all items. The Owner may elect (optional) to have the deleted material disposed of in lieu of having it turned over.

3) Without written instruction issued by Construction Manager, Subcontractor will be liable for displacement costs for any deleted material that is disposed of without proper written instructions.

8. Billing of Changes.

Subcontractor agrees to furnish all labor, materials, tools, equipment, supplies, insurance, bonds, etc., required for additional Work, for which no pre-agreed price has been fixed, for net costs of all labor, materials, etc., furnished plus ten percent (10%) total mark-up for overhead and profit of the Subcontractor, unless otherwise noted in the Contract Documents.

All of Subcontractor’s billings for base Subcontract Work and Change Order Work (including “Change in Scope of Work,” “Extra Work,” and “Time and Material Work”) will be paid as progress billings only. There will be no payment for Change Order Work of any type without a signed change order from Construction Manager.

a. Change in Scope of Work: Upon receipt of a change order from the Owner, Construction Manager will issue a Subcontract change order.

b. Extra Work: Upon Construction Manager’s review and approval of Subcontractor’s quotation, Nabholz will issue a Subcontract change order.




9. Hourly Cost Breakdown.

Subcontractor must submit to Construction Manager a breakdown by trade and classification (foreman, journeyman, apprentice, etc.) for direct labor cost per hour. These amounts are not to be exceeded for Change Order Work unless the increase is due to actual labor cost increases during the duration of the Project. Subcontractor must notify Construction Manager, in writing, of changes to the labor cost breakdown.

005.06 Contract Documents

of 34 Contract Documents 005.06


1. Distribution.

Each Subcontractor and Supplier Subcontract or PO includes all Contract Documents. Do not submit quotes or changes without a complete set of Contract Documents, drawings, and specifications. Please coordinate request for documents through the Construction Manager’s Project team.

2. Contract Documents.

The Architect has issued a construction set of Contract Documents.

These documents are available to Subcontractor through the reproduction company at Subcontractor’s expense. Subcontractor must verify the completeness of these documents and notify Construction Manager of any discrepancies. Neither Construction Manager, Architect, nor Owner assume any responsibility in this request and consider this supply a convenience to Subcontractor.

3. Drawings Discrepancies.

Should Subcontractor find discrepancies in, or omissions from, the drawings or documents, or should Subcontractor be in doubt as to the meaning, Subcontractor shall obtain clarification from Construction Manager’s authorized representative before proceeding with any affected Work. All clarification requests shall be written (see Section 1.02 of the Construction Manager’s Manual for Request for Information Protocol). All Construction Manager official responses will be in writing.

Where a conflict exists between the construction documents (drawings and specifications) and the Form of Proposal, the following precedence prevails.

a. Scope of Work to be performed by Subcontractor or Supplier: Bid Package description and existing site conditions prevail.

b. Project specifications.

c. Project drawings.

005.07 Submittals

of 34 Submittals 005.07


The following requirements are not intended to supersede any more strenuous requirements elsewhere in the Contract Documents. See specifications for submittal procedures.

1. Submittals.

a. Subcontractor is responsible for Subcontractor’s submittals to be in compliance with applicable Contact Documents and for any delays occasioned by lack of such compliance.

Deviation or variations shall be identified in writing, separate from the drawings, and will be submitted as one package. “Obtaining specific approval” is defined as flagging details on the shop drawings, clearly noting them as deviations from the Contract Documents, and receiving written verification that the change has been accepted by the Owner.

Construction Manager will not accept variations from the Contract Documents solely for the convenience of Subcontractor. The specifications clearly define the reasons for the variations so as to be beneficial to the Owner, both monetarily and due to stringent schedule time restraints. Construction Manager will not process a variation, however, that has cost savings but at the same time may delay the project.

005.16 SWPPP Protocol

of 34 SWPPP Protocol 005.16


Congress has recognized that contaminated storm water adversely affects water quality. In 1987, the Clean Water Act was amended to require the EPA to address storm water runoff. The EPA has delegated responsibilities for storm water discharges associated with construction and industrial sites to state agencies such as the states’ Departments of Environmental Quality. Federal and state laws and regulations prohibit and/or regulate the discharge of pollutants from point sources and require contractors to obtain permits, conduct inspections and monitor the site for actual and potential points of discharge. This includes “ground disturbing” construction activities, as well as activities that involve paints, chemicals and other hazardous materials. Nabholz Construction will oversee the Project’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3), including obtaining required permits; however, if awarded Work for the Project, Subcontracto shall be responsible for complying with the permit(s), Notice of Intent (NOI), SWP3, and Best Management Practices (BMP). Subcontractor’s compliance is required to avoid or eliminate actual or potential adverse effects upon the environment that could arise or result from Subcontractor’s Work. Upon award, Subcontractor agrees to be thoroughly familiar with the NOI, permits, the SWP3, and BMP for the Project and assumes responsibility for complying with these documents with respect to any and all construction activities performed by Subcontractor and those for whom Subcontractor is responsible. By executing Subcontract or PO, Bidder agrees to the following certification and agrees to its incorporation into the Contract Documents: Subcontractor/Vendor/Supplier certifies that it understand the terms and conditions of all federal, state, and local requirements that authorize storm water discharges associated with construction activity from the construction Project site location identified in the Contract Documents. Subcontractor/Vendor/Supplier has read and understands the Owner/operators Notice of Intent and the eligibility requirements for coverage under the general permit for storm water discharges from construction activities, including those requirements published in the SWP3 and BMP described pertaining to the Project location identified in the Contract Documents. Subcontractor/Vendor/Supplier agrees that it is responsible for installing and/or maintaining the appropriate pollution prevention measures it is responsible for according to the agreement they have with the permittee. Subcontractor/Vendor/Supplier also agrees that continued coverage under this permit is contingent upon maintaining eligibility as provided for in the permit.
