COMPLIANCE PLAN & AGREEMENT

Note: All Contractors/Subcontractors must meet with the TERO office. Any covered entity not submitting a completed compliance plan will be denied the right to commence work on the Quinault Reservation. A compliance plan should be submitted at least 72 hours prior to starting project. All Contractors are required to submit a copy of the contract with the compliance plan to TERO. Failure to comply with the TERO Ordinance may result in civil penalties. Please send the completed Compliance Plan & Agreement at pages 3-8 to [email protected].

Historically, Quinault Tribal members and other Indians have suffered discrimination in employment on and near the Quinault Reservation by being excluded from the employment market and experiencing discrimination when employed by private sector employers. As a result, Indians have suffered poverty and high unemployment rates, lost opportunities to learn needed skills or to participate in job training programs, lost opportunities for permanent/full time employment, and were not paid equal wage for equal work. To eliminate discrimination and insure that tribal members and other Indians on the Quinault Reservation will have preference in employment and training opportunities, the Quinault Nation established a Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance (TERO), Title 97 of the Quinault Tribal Code.

DESCRIPTION OF TERO COMPLIANCE

REQUIREMENTS

15 | P a g e

DESCRIPTION OF TERO COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS The Quinault Indian Nation Tribal Employment Rights Program is authorized by Title 97 of the Quinault Tribal Code. Title 97 establishes the Tribal Employment Rights Office and the requirements for compliance. 1. EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENTS. The intent of TERO is to achieve employment and training opportunities for the local Indian workforce. Pursuant to Title 97, Indian preference will be required on all employment and training opportunities. All Permanent and Key Employees, who will be utilized on this project, must be identified in this TERO Compliance Plan by name and title, with a complete description of duties each will be performing on this project.

A. Key Employee is defined as one who is in a top supervisory position or performs a critical function such that an Employer would risk likely financial damage or loss if that task were assigned to a person unknown to the Employer. Any claims that the employee possesses a “specialized skill” in order to be designated a key employee shall require written proof, including resume of work history, certificates, licenses, etc. A complete description of duties for each “key employee” listed must be attached to this TERO Compliance Plan. TERO will review the information submitted and determine whether the employee is in fact a key employee. B. Hiring. The Employer agrees to utilize the TERO Hiring Hall to fill their manpower request, and must provide a minimum of seventy two (72) hours’ notice and a job description on the manpower needs to the TERO office. The TERO staff will attempt to accommodate the Employer in the timeliest manner, matching the specified needs with a TERO referral that meets the minimum of qualifications. TERO will certify in writing when a qualified TERO referral is not available. C. TERO Dispatching. All TERO referrals or “Dispatches” will be made from Hiring Hall listings of Local Indian Workforces. The hiring hall lists contain names of unemployed Indian workers who have indicated that they are available for work and their skill level. Once a name is taken from the Hiring Hall List, the individual’s name will be provided to the Employer. If that worker possesses the minimum threshold of qualification, then they are referred for the opportunity. All TERO referrals will report to work with a TERO Referral form in hand, unless a copy has been faxed/ mailed/hand-delivered prior to the referral’s first day of work. The Employer shall contact TERO regarding any worker who reports to the job site without a TERO Referral Form in hand. (See Attachment B). D. TERO Job Request. This form provides a space for the Employer to give a brief job summary, including company name, address, and phone number, position title/classification, start date, start time, rate of pay anticipated length of employment, tools required, who to see, etc. The TERO referral of “dispatch” shall sign the pay rate offered. All dispatch forms shall require dates and signatures of the Employer and a TERO Representative. Unsigned forms will be considered invalid. Employers should review the dispatch form and discuss it with the referral/worker his/her first day of work. Any revisions

16 | P a g e

to the work opportunity, identified on the original dispatch form, regarding position/title, duties, rate of pay, etc. must be reported to TERO prior to any revisions taking place. (See Attachment B). E. Local Indian Workforce is defined as any member of a federally recognized tribe who resides either within the exterior boundaries of the Quinault Indian Reservation or within 60 miles of the Reservation. F. Hiring Hall. The main TERO Hiring Hall is located at the Taholah Administration Building at 1214 Aalis St. Taholah, WA 98587. G. Training. All training opportunities or Training Special Provisions (TSP) requirements must be identified prior to the commencement of work activity on this project. Training opportunities shall be filed through the same process described under Section C “Hiring”, and through coordination with the TERO Employment and Training Program components to locate individual(s) who may already be in an apprenticeship program for which the opportunity will exist. H. Layoff. TERO referred workers will have priority in all work opportunities. In the event that a lay-off becomes necessary, a TERO worker with skills, and in some cases key employee, will be retained. Daily TERO monitoring and a review of weekly certified payroll reports will be made to assure that opportunities are not being eliminated by revising the duties of Key Personnel or Employees. I. Disciplinary Action. Employers must report any disciplinary action taken against a TERO referred worker in written form, providing name, date of incident(s), individual(s) involved, names of witnesses, location of incident, etc. Any disciplinary action taken against a TERO worker will be kept on record at TERO. J. Termination. Employers must discuss termination of an Indian worker with TERO prior to final action. In instances of deliberate acts of safety violation, damage to property, or act of violence, the Employer shall have the right to dismiss the employee immediately. Failure to provide TERO with a notice of impending termination for other matters may result in a violation of this agreement. K. Employer Policies. The Employer must submit a copy of its employee policies prior to the commencement of work activity for TERO review and approval. In case of any conflict or dispute between company policies and with the TERO requirements, Title 97 will govern. An Employer may be required to demonstrate that a challenged employment practice is job-related for the position in question and consistent with business necessity. L. Drug Testing. Employment must be offered prior to requiring a “pre-employment” drug test. The TERO must be notified and provided a copy of the Employer’s pre-employment drug testing policies. Documentation must be provided that all permanent and key employees have complied with the drug testing requirements prior to the commencement of their work activity on this project. It is the contractor’s responsibility to do drug testing.

17 | P a g e

2. WAGE RATES/FRINGE BENEFITS/PAYROLL REPORTS

A. Wages and Fringe Benefits. The prime contractor and their subcontractor(s) must submit a table of wages to be paid. All contractors shall compensate their employees at a rate not less than the approved Quinault Construction wage scale specified for their trade or the prevailing wage scale per contract requirements. TERO referrals must receive pay equal to the Employer’s permanent employees and waived workers performing the same duties/job descriptions. If the company is signatory to a construction trade union, the current union pay scale with fringe benefits of that trade will be paid, in cash, unless otherwise specified through any other compliance plan or contract; provided, that it is not less than the Quinault Construction wage scale. TERO referrals will receive all fringe benefits in cash, unless the worker is a union member. TERO referrals will not be required to join a union to procure or retain employment. Each worker must receive a paycheck with an explanation of workweek, payroll number, regular and over-time hours, and all deductions taken. B. Certified Payroll Reports. All contractors and subcontractors must submit a bi-weekly- certified payroll report. Certified payroll reports submitted to the contracting agency will not satisfy this requirement. Payroll reports must contain the name, address, social security number, classification/title, hourly rate, over-time rate, number of regular and over-time hours worked that pay period and deductions for each worker the employee has on the project. Failure to submit certified payroll reports on a weekly/timely basis will constitute grounds for a “violation” and possible sanctions against the Employer. C. Payroll Deductions. No payroll deductions indirectly or directly will be taken from the full wages earned, other than tax withholding and permissible deductions outlined in the United States Federal Labor and Standards Act (FLSA) and this TERO Agreement, so long as the deduction does not take the employee below federal minimum wage for the workweek. D. Pay Day Schedules. TERO workers will receive their pay on the same day as the Employer’s permanent and key employees. All employees must receive their paycheck for the previous week’s work hours no later than the close of the workday every Thursday or Friday; whichever may be the last working day of the week for the Employer. E. Distribution of Payroll. Payroll checks must not be distributed to anyone other than the worker for whom the check is made out to, unless the worker has given written permission to release their check to specifically named individual.

18 | P a g e

3. CONTRACTING AND SUBCONTRACTING.

A. The General Contractor and Subcontractor shall give preference to Quinault TERO Certified Native American Owned (NAOB), all subcontracting opportunities on this project. A list of Quinault Native American Owned Businesses is available from TERO. TERO NAOBs are subject to the same terms of this agreement and are required to submit a Compliance Plan and Agreement for TERO approval prior to the start of work activity. B. Notification of Subcontracting Opportunity. Contractors bidding on projects on or near the Quinault Reservation must provide notification to TERO providing the name of the Project, project owner, funding source, location and listing of subcontract opportunities. Once it has been determined that the project is located on or near the Quinault Reservation, contractors must provide copies of “notice of subcontracting opportunity” forms, by email, mail, or fax transmission. If you do not wish to use the attached form, provide copies of letters notifying NAOBs of the opportunity and attach U.S. Post Office certified mail receipts. Notification must be made in good faith, providing adequate information about scope of work opportunity and time-line for response. (See Attachment D – Notice of Subcontracting Opportunity). C. Response to Notice of Subcontracting Opportunity. Once the deadline for responses to the “Notification of Subcontracting Opportunity” has elapsed, the Contractor will provide TERO with a written explanation of the responses and the decision on the subcontract award. TERO will retain a copy in the project file.

4. RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATION. Employer agrees to make reasonable accommodation to the religious beliefs of Indian workers. TERO will assist the Employer in identifying “reasonable accommodation.” 5. TERO FEE. A TERO Fee will be assessed at 1.75% of the total contract award amount for contracts totaling $10,000 or more. No fees shall be passed on to the contracting entity, including but not limited to as a change order or as part of the bid or Contract amount.

Change Orders must be reported to TERO immediately upon approval from the funding/contracting agency. Adjustments to the TERO Fee amount will be made accordingly. If the change orders are not reported that is considered a violation.

6. PROJECT MONITORING. TERO shall have the right to make on-site inspections during regular working hours in order to monitor a contractor’s compliance. TERO also has the authority to inspect and copy all relevant records of a contractor, of the contractor’s signatory unions or subcontracts, to speak with workers on the contractor’s or subcontractor’s job site and to engage in similar investigatory inspection activities. Any potential violation will be documented and processed pursuant to the procedures provided in Title 97. Continuous violation may result in sanctions against the Employer as provided in Title 97.

19 | P a g e

7. COMPLAINTS.

A. On-The-Job Incidents. TERO referrals are advised to make complaints for incidents occurring on the job through the procedures outlined in the Employer policies prior to filing a complaint with TERO. The Employer must provide notice to TERO once a complaint is filed and provide information on the action taken to resolve the matter and final disposition of the matter once it is settled. B. Discrimination. If a TERO referred worker feels they have been discriminated against because they are Indian, they may file a complaint with TERO. The complaint must be employment related. C. Complaint Investigation. TERO will investigate complaints on-site pursuant to the procedures provided in Title 97.

8. FAILURE TO COMPLETE COMPLIANCE PLAN. Failure to complete this compliance plan thoroughly and submit prior to the commencement of work on the above described project, will be construed as a refusal to comply and may result in a “Notice of Violation.” The Quinault TERO will make every effort to work cooperatively with the Employer named on this agreement. However, when willful disregard for these requirements are evident, the sanctions afforded will be utilized to the fullest extent of the law.

Hiring Hall Procedures *****


HIRING HALL PROCEDURES I. Labor Pool In order to be considered in the Quinault Indian Nation labor pool, applicants must adhere to the following:

A. Application Process: 1. Must be 18 years of age.

2. Complete a TERO application and any other applicable supplemental forms. These

forms must be updated annually (October 1st) or if any changes occur in the data on the application or supplemental.

3. Submit any of the following (if applicable) to be placed into your file:

a. Resume b. Copy of enrollment card with enrollment number and Tribal affiliation; or if a

supporter of a Quinault family submit a completed “Verification of Supporting Quinault” form

c. Any certificate, license, degree or additional information that may apply to the type of employment you are seeking

d. A copy of your drivers or any special license (i.e. bus, truck, etc.) e. Union affiliation and status (if you are a member) f. Any other applicable information

B. Sign In Process:

1. The TERO office maintains three sign in books located as follows:

a. One in Taholah at the Admin Building directly outside the TERO office doors. b. One in Queets at the Admin Building c. One at the TANF office in Hoquiam

2. In order for the TERO office to know that you are available and looking for

employment, you need to sign in at either the Taholah, Hoquiam or Queets site on a monthly basis (or on a/ weekly basis depending on the busy season). You may do this in two ways: a. By coming in and signing the books b. By phoning or emailing a TERO staff member and requesting they sign you in

3. Be sure to let us know when you call in what type of work you are seeking. Also, if

you do not provide a way for the TERO office to reach you, you will not be considered

for employment.

II. Referral/Placement Process: A. Notification of Opening:

When the TERO staff is notified of a job opening, potential candidates will be selected from the labor pool. Names will be compiled from those who have a current application on file and who have signed or phoned in within the past month under the requested job classification. (Note: because some jobs are recurring in nature, an Employer may request a specific employee for the position so please keep your status active otherwise you will not be eligible for a referral from TERO). After this step, a list of available individuals will be prepared.

B. Pre-Screening Process:

1. The files of all individuals on the list will be reviewed to see that they meet the

minimum qualifications for the position. 2. The TERO office will then check the tribal enrollment status and create a priority listing

according to the following tier (It is up to the person applying for work to get the proper enrollment documentation to TERO): a. Federally funded Employers:

i. Local Indians ii. Indian who are not local Indians

b. Non-Federally funded Employers: i. Enrolled Quinaults ii. Supporters of Quinault families as defined in Title 97 iii. Other Indians

3. The TERO office checks previous placement history. Anyone who had previously been

referred by TERO and had been terminated with cause, had failed to show up for an interview without notice or who has a poor performance record and who has failed to provide the TERO office with an adequate reason for their action will be placed on a low priority status or on a no-rehire list for a specific period of time depending on the type of action involved. This time period will range anywhere from 1-3 months. Some reasons for a low priority status include but are not limited to: a. Being under the influence of intoxicants or chemicals while on duty b. Failure to report to work and notify the Employer without good reason c. Failure to show up for an interview without notification or good reason d. Providing TERO with false information e. Insubordination f. Deliberate or careless conduct endangering the safety of self or fellow workers g. Theft or intentional destruction of Employer property h. Excessive absenteeism and/or tardiness i. Poor work performance

4. Some Employers request that we pre-screen for specific skills at which time we will develop a pre-screening questionnaire based on the qualification criteria set forth. Also an Employer may request that all potential employees be required to submit to a drug test before employment. We will advertise within the job announcement of such special requirements.

C. Referrals:

After TERO makes a recommendation to prospective Employers based on the above pre-screening process, the first priority list will be provided to the Employer for selection or to set up interviews. The Employer then notifies the TERO office of individuals selected for employment or interviews. The TERO office then contacts the individuals and completes a referral card with one copy for the employee to take to the Employer and one copy for the TERO files. The above procedures are general procedures and may vary depending on the Employer and at the discretion of the TERO office. It is important to note that any employee that is placed with an Employer and does a good job generally is requested back by the Employer for rehire.

Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance

Questions & Answers

The following presents a listing of some of the most common inquiries made about Indian Preference and Tribal Employment Rights Offices (TEROs)

1. WHAT IS TERO?

There are two (2) main elements of TERO: A. Conceptual—TERO is a sovereignty based, self-help, and systematic approach to Indian and

economic self-reliance or self-determination. B. Programmatic—TERO is also a Tribal enforcement and compliance program that monitors

employers to ensure optimal benefits are attained from Federal and Tribal employment laws, regulations, policies and procedures.

2. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF TERO?

To access more employment & training opportunities for Native Americans, and to provide more business & economic opportunities for businesses owned by Native Americans.

3. WHAT IS THE LEGAL BASIS FOR TERO?

A tribe’s authority to enact and enforce an Indian employment preference is grounded in its inherent sovereign powers of self-government. This legal doctrine is the most basic principal of Indian laws and is supported by a host of Supreme Court decisions. These decisions have held that “Inherent sovereign powers derive from the principle that certain powers do not necessarily come from delegated powers granted by express acts of Congress, but are inherent powers of a limited sovereign which have never been extinguished. Tribes have a basic relationship with the federal government as sovereign powers. This is recognized in both treaties and federal statutes. The sovereignty of tribes has been limited from time to time by treaties and federal legislation; however, what has not been expressly limited remains within tribal sovereignty.” One important area in which the inherent powers of tribes clearly apply is in the right of tribes to regulate and tax all commerce activity within the jurisdictional boundaries of their reservations. A full and accurate explanation of tribal sovereignty is found in Felix S. Cohen’s Handbook of Federal Indian Law.

4. WHAT ARE THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF TERO?

All employers operating within tribal jurisdiction are required to provide Indian Preference in employment, training, contracting, subcontracting and all other aspects of employment. Below are six (6) major provisions found in most TERO Ordinances that employers must agree to: A. Submit an acceptable compliance plan detailing employer workforce needs and the steps to be

taken to ensure Indian Preference. B. Utilize the TERO Hiring Hall for all referrals and consider Indian applicants before interviewing

or hiring non-Indian workers.

2

C. Agree to hire no less than a specific number of Indians in each job classification and cooperate with tribal training programs to hire a certain amount of trainees.

D. Eliminate all extraneous job qualification criteria or personnel requirements, which may act as a barrier to Indian employment. TEROs are guided by EEOC guidelines for verifying legitimate Bona-Fide Occupational Qualifications (BFOQs).

E. Agree to acknowledge and respect tribal religious beliefs and cultural differences and to cooperate with the TERO to provide reasonable accommodation.

F. Tribes have found the most effective means by which they can ensure Indian Preference compliance is through the endeavors of their own TERO enforcement programs. The success of TERO programs can be directly attributed to the fact that these programs embody all of the critical elements listed above. Since TEROs are the core of an effective tribal employment rights effort, a close examination of TERO is necessary.

5. WHAT IS THE EXTENT OF TERO JURISDICTION?

To the extent of what is legally described or defined by treaty or legislation which is the exterior boundaries of the reservation, including ceded territories and lands where jurisdiction has not been extinguished.

6. IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRIBAL & INDIAN PREFERENCE?

Yes, with jurisdiction on tribal projects which are funded, owned, and operated by the tribe (i.e. Tribal Enterprises), tribes can require tribal preference. This is permissible under the federal law because tribes are exempt from Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, Executive Order 11246 and most other employment rights legislation. A. Indian Preference is permissible under some federal laws i.e. Indian Staff Determination Act, Buy

Indian Act and under most federal laws. B. Executive Order 11246 Provides: “Contractors or subcontractors extending such a preference

shall not, however, discriminate among Indians on the basis of religion, sex, or tribal affiliation and the use of such a preference shall not excuse a contractor from complying with other requirements contained in this chapter.”

7. ARE TERO FEES LEGAL?

Yes, tribal authority to impose fees is equal to that of any government. Licenses, fees and, in some cases, taxation are a valuable sources for financing tribal government operations. TERO Programs have the unique characteristics of being able to generate their own operating income and contribute to the tribal general fund. A. Employers can realize substantial savings since tribal taxes pre-empt state and other local taxation

on reservation projects often to the benefit of the employer. The average TERO fee is 2.5% substantially lower than most states.

B. The TERO has the responsibility to ensure the due process of the employer under the tribal ordinance and that only qualified and screened referrals are made to the employer.

8. WILL TERO FEES INCREASE THE COST OF THE PROJECT?

No. The Quinault TERO fee is 1.75%, which is much lower than the state taxes that the contractor might otherwise pay.

3

A. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) allows a 1% flow through for highway contractors, which means they can pass up to 1% of their tribal tax/fee burden on to the agency. This provides another incentive to support TERO. The remaining amounts are the contractors’ responsibility and like other federal, state, county and local taxes/fees, must come out of the contractors’ pocket.

9. IS INDIAN PREFERENCE “REVERSE DISCRIMINATION?”

No, there is no such thing as reverse discrimination; simply stated, discrimination is discrimination no matter who does it to whom. Indian preference is defined as a “political preference, not a racial one” which exists because of the nation-to-nation relationship America has always enjoyed with tribes since Columbian times. TEROs do not violate any U.S. Equal Protection Laws. A. In Morton v. Mancari, the court held that “the preference as applied, granted to Indians not as a

discrete racial group, but rather as members of quasi-sovereign tribal entities.” Subsequently, the Indian preference classification is not racially, but politically based and as such does not violate Title VII or any other federal employment law.

10. ARE THERE ANY EXEMPTIONS TO TERO REQUIREMENTS?

Yes, there are several exemptions. Direct employment by federal/state governments, schools, churches and some non-profits are not covered by the TERO. Some tribes also exempt themselves from TERO coverage. It is important to note, however, that any contract or sub-contract let by any of these entities is covered by TERO.

11. WILL TERO INTERRUPT MY DAILY BUSINESS OPERATIONS?

No, since TEROs are pro-active, TERO and employer sign the compliance agreements before the commencement of work, which prevents disputes. Most TERO ordinances provide for compliance and enforcement visits to the worksites during normal business hours but not to the detriment of operations. TEROs sanctioning employers for violations may shut down operations but only in severe disputes and in accordance with the applicable law.

12. WHAT SANCTIONS DO EMPLOYERS FACE FOR VIOLATIONS OF TERO?

Violation of TERO requirements may result in severe sanctions. If tribes determine that employers willfully and intentionally breached TERO requirements they may: A. Deny such a party the right to commence or continue business on the reservation. B. Impose a civil fine on such party (at Quinault, the range is $100 to $1000 per violation per day,

depending on the size of the contract). C. Terminate or suspend such party’s operation and deny them the rights to conduct further business

on the reservation. D. Order such party to dismiss any illegally hired non-Indians, take action to ensure future compliance

and to make back payment of any lost wages be paid to aggrieved Indians. 13. ARE EMPLOYERS PROTECTED AGAINST UNFAIR TERO VIOLATION CHARGES?

Yes, the first level of protection comes from the TERO enforcement officer who handles the charge. These officers are trained to deal with facts and merits of the case before taking action. The TERO Commission provides a second level of protection by hearing grievances and again weighing the

4

facts and merits of the case before making determinations. Beyond the TERO Commission, grievants can seek relief in the tribal and federal courts.

14. CAN SANCTIONS IMPOSED BY THE TERO COMMISSION BE APPEALED?

Yes. Sanctions imposed by the TERO Commission can be appealed in tribal court. Appeals of tribal court decisions can be made to the federal court system. A. It is important to note that only one (1) appeal to a TERO Commission and tribal court has ever

been appealed to the federal court. The case ended at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals , which upheld the TERO Commission and the tribal court decisions.

15. HOW HAVE VARIOUS FEDERAL, STATE, AND OTHER AGENCIES VIEWED TERO

AND INDIAN PREFERENCE IN THEIR OPERATIONS? When TEROs first appeared in the late seventies there was opposition from some and indifferences from others. Over the years a great deal of progress has been made, some by direct legal action but most through pro-active, non-adversarial, synergistic effort. The results are Indian preference and TERO provision, policies and procedures figure prominently in the following:

16. DO TERO REFERRALS GET SPECIAL TREATMENT ON THE JOB? No, TERO referrals should be treated like any other qualified employee with the same performance expectations and requirements. Special treatment of preference category employees serves only to isolate them and set them up for disparate or discriminatory treatment.

ARTICLE 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS § 1.1 BASIC DEFINITIONS § 1.1.1 THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS The Contract Documents are enumerated in the Agreement between the Owner and Contractor (hereinafter the

Agreement) and consist of the Agreement, Conditions of the Contract (General, Supplementary and other

Conditions), Drawings, Specifications, Addenda issued prior to execution of the Contract, other documents listed in

the Agreement and Modifications issued after execution of the Contract. A Modification is (1) a written amendment

to the Contract signed by both parties, (2) a Change Order, (3) a Construction Change Directive or (4) a written

order for a minor change in the Work issued by the Owner.

§ 1.1.2 THE CONTRACT The Contract Documents form the Contract for Construction. The Contract represents the entire and integrated

agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes prior negotiations, representations or agreements, either written

or oral. The Contract may be amended or modified only by a Modification. The Contract Documents shall not be

construed to create a contractual relationship of any kind (1) between the Contractor and the Owner, (2) between the

Owner and a Subcontractor or a Sub-subcontractor, (3) between any persons or entities other than the Owner and the

Contractor. The Owner shall, however, be entitled to performance and enforcement of obligations under the

Contract intended to facilitate performance of the Owner’ duties.

§ 1.1.3 THE WORK The term “Work” means the construction and services required by the Contract Documents, whether completed or

partially completed, and includes all other labor, materials, equipment and services provided or to be provided by

the Contractor to fulfill the Contractor’s obligations. The Work may constitute the whole or a part of the Project.

§ 1.1.4 THE PROJECT The Project is the total construction of which the Work performed under the Contract Documents may be the whole

or a part and which may include construction by the Owner and by separate contractors.

§ 1.1.5 THE DRAWINGS The Drawings are the graphic and pictorial portions of the Contract Documents showing the design, location and

dimensions of the Work, generally including plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules and diagrams.

§ 1.1.6 THE SPECIFICATIONS The Specifications are that portion of the Contract Documents consisting of the written requirements for materials,

equipment, systems, standards and workmanship for the Work, and performance of related services.

§ 1.1.7 INSTRUMENTS OF SERVICE Instruments of Service are representations, in any medium of expression now known or later developed, of the

tangible and intangible creative work performed by the Architect and the Architect’s consultants under their

respective professional services agreements. Instruments of Service may include, without limitation, studies,

surveys, models, sketches, drawings, specifications, and other similar materials.

§ 1.1.8 INITIAL DECISION MAKER The Initial Decision Maker is the person identified in the Agreement to render initial decisions on Claims in

accordance with Section 15.2 and certify termination of the Agreement under Section 14.2.2.

§ 1.2 CORRELATION AND INTENT OF THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS § 1.2.1 The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items necessary for the proper execution and

completion of the Work by the Contractor. The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is required by

one shall be as binding as if required by all; performance by the Contractor shall be required only to the extent

consistent with the Contract Documents and reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce the

indicated results.

§ 1.2.2 Organization of the Specifications into divisions, sections and articles, and arrangement of Drawings shall not

control the Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of Work to be

performed by any trade.

§ 1.2.3 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, words that have well-known technical or construction

industry meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings.

§ 1.3 CAPITALIZATION Terms capitalized in these General Conditions include those that are (1) specifically defined, (2) the titles of

numbered articles or (3) the titles of other documents published by the American Institute of Architects.

§ 1.4 INTERPRETATION In the interest of brevity the Contract Documents frequently omit modifying words such as “all” and “any” and

articles such as “the” and “an,” but the fact that a modifier or an article is absent from one statement and appears in

another is not intended to affect the interpretation of either statement.

§ 1.5 OWNERSHIP AND USE OF DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS OF SERVICE § 1.5.1 The Architect and the Architect’s consultants shall be deemed the authors and owners of their respective

Instruments of Service, including the Drawings and Specifications, and will retain all common law, statutory and

other reserved rights, including copyrights. The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, and material or

equipment suppliers shall not own or claim a copyright in the Instruments of Service. Submittal or distribution to

meet official regulatory requirements or for other purposes in connection with this Project is not to be construed as

publication in derogation of the Architect’s or Architect’s consultants’ reserved rights.

§ 1.5.2 The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors and material or equipment suppliers are authorized to use

and reproduce the Instruments of Service provided to them solely and exclusively for execution of the Work. All

copies made under this authorization shall bear the copyright notice, if any, shown on the Instruments of Service.

The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, and material or equipment suppliers may not use the

Instruments of Service on other projects or for additions to this Project outside the scope of the Work without the

specific written consent of the Owner, Architect and the Architect’s consultants.

§ 1.6 TRANSMISSION OF DATA IN DIGITAL FORM If the parties intend to transmit Instruments of Service or any other information or documentation in digital form,

they shall endeavor to establish necessary protocols governing such transmissions, unless otherwise already

provided in the Agreement or the Contract Documents.

ARTICLE 2 OWNER § 2.1 GENERAL § 2.1.1 The Owner is the person or entity identified as such in the Agreement and is referred to throughout the

Contract Documents as if singular in number. The Owner shall designate in writing a representative who shall have

express authority to bind the Owner with respect to all matters requiring the Owner’s approval or authorization. The

term “Owner” means the Owner or the Owner’s authorized representative.

§ 2.1.2 The Owner shall furnish to the Contractor within fifteen days after receipt of a written request, information

necessary and relevant for the Contractor to evaluate, give notice of or enforce mechanic’s lien rights. Such

information shall include a correct statement of the record legal title to the property on which the Project is located,

usually referred to as the site, and the Owner’s interest therein.

§ 2.2 INFORMATION AND SERVICES REQUIRED OF THE OWNER § 2.2.1 Prior to commencement of the Work, the Contractor may request in writing that the Owner provide

reasonable evidence that the Owner has made financial arrangements to fulfill the Owner’s obligations under the

Contract. Thereafter, the Contractor may only request such evidence if (1) the Owner fails to make payments to the

Contractor as the Contract Documents require; (2) a change in the Work materially changes the Contract Sum; or (3)

the Contractor identifies in writing a reasonable concern regarding the Owner’s ability to make payment when due.

The Owner shall furnish such evidence as a condition precedent to commencement or continuation of the Work or

the portion of the Work affected by a material change. After the Owner furnishes the evidence, the Owner shall not

materially vary such financial arrangements without prior notice to the Contractor.

§ 2.2.2 Except for permits and fees that are the responsibility of the Contractor under the Contract Documents,

including those required under Section 3.7.1, the Owner shall secure and pay for necessary approvals, easements,

assessments and charges required for construction, use or occupancy of permanent structures or for permanent

changes in existing facilities.

§ 2.2.3 The Owner shall furnish surveys describing physical characteristics, legal limitations and utility locations for

the site of the Project, and a legal description of the site. The Contractor shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of

information furnished by the Owner but shall exercise proper precautions relating to the safe performance of the

Work.

§ 2.2.4 The Owner shall furnish information or services required of the Owner by the Contract Documents with

reasonable promptness. The Owner shall also furnish any other information or services under the Owner’s control

and relevant to the Contractor’s performance of the Work with reasonable promptness after receiving the

Contractor’s written request for such information or services.

§ 2.2.5 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Owner shall furnish to the Contractor one copy of

the Contract Documents for purposes of making reproductions pursuant to Section 1.5.2.

§ 2.3 OWNER’S RIGHT TO STOP THE WORK If the Contractor fails to correct Work that is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents as

required by Section 12.2 or repeatedly fails to carry out Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the

Owner may issue a written order to the Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such

order has been eliminated; however, the right of the Owner to stop the Work shall not give rise to a duty on the part

of the Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of the Contractor or any other person or entity, except to the extent

required by Section 6.1.3.

§ 2.4 OWNER’S RIGHT TO CARRY OUT THE WORK If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents and fails

within a ten-day period after receipt of written notice from the Owner to commence and continue correction of such

default or neglect with diligence and promptness, the Owner may, without prejudice to other remedies the Owner

may have, correct such deficiencies. In such case an appropriate Change Order shall be issued deducting from

payments then or thereafter due the Contractor the reasonable cost of correcting such deficiencies, including

Owner’s expenses and compensation for the Architect’s additional services made necessary by such default, neglect

or failure. If payments then or thereafter due the Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amounts, the Contractor

shall pay the difference to the Owner.

ARTICLE 3 CONTRACTOR § 3.1 GENERAL § 3.1.1 The Contractor is the person or entity identified as such in the Agreement and is referred to throughout the

Contract Documents as if singular in number. The Contractor shall be lawfully licensed, if required in the

jurisdiction where the Project is located. The Contractor shall designate in writing a representative who shall have

express authority to bind the Contractor with respect to all matters under this Contract. The term “Contractor” means

the Contractor or the Contractor’s authorized representative.

§ 3.1.2 The Contractor shall perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

§ 3.2 REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND FIELD CONDITIONS BY CONTRACTOR § 3.2.1 Execution of the Contract by the Contractor is a representation that the Contractor has visited the site, become

generally familiar with local conditions under which the Work is to be performed and correlated personal

observations with requirements of the Contract Documents.

§ 3.2.2 Because the Contract Documents are complementary, the Contractor shall, before starting each portion of the

Work, carefully study and compare the various Contract Documents relative to that portion of the Work, as well as

the information furnished by the Owner pursuant to Section 2.2.3, shall take field measurements of any existing

conditions related to that portion of the Work, and shall observe any conditions at the site affecting it. These

obligations are for the purpose of facilitating coordination and construction by the Contractor and are not for the

purpose of discovering errors, omissions, or inconsistencies in the Contract Documents; however, the Contractor

shall promptly report to the Owner any errors, inconsistencies or omissions discovered by or made known to the

Contractor as a request for information in such form as the Owner may require. It is recognized that the Contractor’s

review is made in the Contractor’s capacity as a contractor and not as a licensed design professional, unless

otherwise specifically provided in the Contract Documents.

12

§ 3.2.3 The Contractor is not required to ascertain that the Contract Documents are in accordance with applicable

laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, or lawful orders of public authorities, but the Contractor

shall promptly report to the Owner any nonconformity discovered by or made known to the Contractor as a request

for information in such form as the Owner may require.

§ 3.2.4 If the Contractor believes that additional cost or time is involved because of clarifications or instructions the

Owner issues in response to the Contractor’s notices or requests for information pursuant to Sections 3.2.2 or 3.2.3,

the Contractor shall make Claims as provided in Article 15. If the Contractor fails to perform the obligations of

Sections 3.2.2 or 3.2.3, the Contractor shall pay such costs and damages to the Owner as would have been avoided if

the Contractor had performed such obligations. If the Contractor performs those obligations, the Contractor shall not

be liable to the Owner for damages resulting from errors, inconsistencies or omissions in the Contract Documents,

for differences between field measurements or conditions and the Contract Documents, or for nonconformities of the

Contract Documents to applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, and lawful orders of

public authorities.

§ 3.3 SUPERVISION AND CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES § 3.3.1 The Contractor shall supervise and direct the Work, using the Contractor’s best skill and attention. The

Contractor shall be solely responsible for, and have control over, construction means, methods, techniques,

sequences and procedures and for coordinating all portions of the Work under the Contract, unless the Contract

Documents give other specific instructions concerning these matters. If the Contract Documents give specific

instructions concerning construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, the Contractor shall

evaluate the jobsite safety thereof and, except as stated below, shall be fully and solely responsible for the jobsite

safety of such means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. If the Contractor determines that such means,

methods, techniques, sequences or procedures may not be safe, the Contractor shall give timely written notice to the

Owner and shall not proceed with that portion of the Work without further written instructions from the Owner. If

the Contractor is then instructed to proceed with the required means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures

without acceptance of changes proposed by the Contractor, the Owner shall be solely responsible for any loss or

damage arising solely from those Owner-required means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures.

§ 3.3.2 The Contractor shall be responsible to the Owner for acts and omissions of the Contractor’s employees,

Subcontractors and their agents and employees, and other persons or entities performing portions of the Work for, or

on behalf of, the Contractor or any of its Subcontractors.

§ 3.3.3 The Contractor shall be responsible for inspection of portions of Work already performed to determine that

such portions are in proper condition to receive subsequent Work.

§ 3.4 LABOR AND MATERIALS § 3.4.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall provide and pay for labor,

materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery, water, heat, utilities, transportation, and other

facilities and services necessary for proper execution and completion of the Work, whether temporary or permanent

and whether or not incorporated or to be incorporated in the Work.

§ 3.4.2 Except in the case of minor changes in the Work authorized by the Owner in accordance with Sections 3.12.8

or 7.4, the Contractor may make substitutions only with the consent of the Owner, after evaluation and in

accordance with a Change Order or Construction Change Directive.

§ 3.4.3 The Contractor shall enforce strict discipline and good order among the Contractor’s employees and other

persons carrying out the Work. The Contractor shall not permit employment of unfit persons or persons not properly

skilled in tasks assigned to them.

§ 3.5 WARRANTY The Contractor warrants to the Owner that materials and equipment furnished under the Contract will be of good

quality and new unless the Contract Documents require or permit otherwise. The Contractor further warrants that the

Work will conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents and will be free from defects, except for those

inherent in the quality of the Work the Contract Documents require or permit. Work, materials, or equipment not

conforming to these requirements may be considered defective. The Contractor’s warranty excludes remedy for

damage or defect caused by abuse, alterations to the Work not executed by the Contractor, improper or insufficient

13

maintenance, improper operation, or normal wear and tear and normal usage. If required by the Owner, the

Contractor shall furnish satisfactory evidence as to the kind and quality of materials and equipment.

§ 3.6 TAXES The Owner is a federally-recognized Indian tribe and is exempt from Washington State sales and business and

occupation taxes for work done on the Quinault Reservation or goods delivered to the Nation on the Quinault

Reservation. With respect to the Washington State business and occupation tax, this tax may not be included in

overhead charges to the Owner. See, Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 458-20-192.

§ 3.7 PERMITS, FEES, NOTICES AND COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS § 3.7.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall secure and pay for the building

permit as well as for other permits, fees, licenses, and inspections by government agencies necessary for proper

execution and completion of the Work that are customarily secured after execution of the Contract and legally

required at the time bids are received or negotiations concluded.

§ 3.7.2 The Contractor shall comply with and give notices required by applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes,

rules and regulations, and lawful orders of public authorities applicable to performance of the Work.

§ 3.7.3 If the Contractor performs Work knowing it to be contrary to applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes,

rules and regulations, or lawful orders of public authorities, the Contractor shall assume appropriate responsibility

for such Work and shall bear the costs attributable to correction.

§ 3.7.4 Concealed or Unknown Conditions. If the Contractor encounters conditions at the site that are (1)

subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions that differ materially from those indicated in the Contract

Documents or (2) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, that differ materially from those ordinarily

found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the

Contract Documents, the Contractor shall promptly provide notice to the Owner before conditions are disturbed and

in no event later than 21 days after first observance of the conditions. The Owner will promptly investigate such

conditions and, if the Owner determines that they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in the

Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, will recommend an equitable

adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both. If the Owner determines that the conditions at the site are

not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents and that no change in the terms of the

Contract is justified, the Owner shall promptly notify the Contractor in writing, stating the reasons. If either party

disputes the Owner’s determination or recommendation, that party may proceed as provided in Article 15.

§ 3.7.5 If, in the course of the Work, the Contractor encounters human remains or recognizes the existence of burial

markers, archaeological sites or wetlands not indicated in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall immediately

suspend any operations that would affect them and shall notify the Owner. Upon receipt of such notice, the Owner

shall promptly take any action necessary to obtain governmental authorization required to resume the operations.

The Contractor shall continue to suspend such operations until otherwise instructed by the Owner but shall continue

with all other operations that do not affect those remains or features. Requests for adjustments in the Contract Sum

and Contract Time arising from the existence of such remains or features may be made as provided in Article 15.

§ 3.8 ALLOWANCES § 3.8.1 The Contractor shall include in the Contract Sum all allowances stated in the Contract Documents. Items

covered by allowances shall be supplied for such amounts and by such persons or entities as the Owner may direct,

but the Contractor shall not be required to employ persons or entities to whom the Contractor has reasonable

objection.

§ 3.8.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents,

.1 Allowances shall cover the cost to the Contractor of materials and equipment delivered at the site and

the Work or unless the Contractor needs to provide such services in order to carry out the Contractor’s

responsibilities for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures. The Contractor shall not be

required to provide professional services in violation of applicable law. If professional design services or

certifications by a design professional related to systems, materials or equipment are specifically required of the

Contractor by the Contract Documents, the Owner will specify all performance and design criteria that such services

must satisfy. The Contractor shall cause such services or certifications to be provided by a properly licensed design

professional, whose signature and seal shall appear on all drawings, calculations, specifications, certifications, Shop

Drawings and other submittals prepared by such professional. Shop Drawings and other submittals related to the

Work designed or certified by such professional, if prepared by others, shall bear such professional’s written

approval when submitted to the Owner. The Owner shall be entitled to rely upon the adequacy, accuracy and

completeness of the services, certifications and approvals performed or provided by such design professionals,

provided the Owner has specified to the Contractor all performance and design criteria that such services must

satisfy. Pursuant to this Section 3.12.10, the Owner will review, approve or take other appropriate action on

manufacturer or manufacturers is required by the Contract Documents, or where the copyright violations are

contained in Drawings, Specifications or other documents prepared by the Owner or Architect. However, if the

Contractor has reason to believe that the required design, process or product is an infringement of a copyright or a

patent, the Contractor shall be responsible for such loss unless such information is promptly furnished to the Owner

and Architect.

§ 3.18 INDEMNIFICATION § 3.18.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law the Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Owner, and

Owner’s agents and employees 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, 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), but only to the extent caused by the negligent acts or omissions of the Contractor, a

Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose acts they may be liable,

regardless of whether or not such claim, damage, loss or expense is caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder.

Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of indemnity which

would otherwise exist as to a party or person described in this Section 3.18.

§ 3.18.2 In claims against any person or entity indemnified under this Section 3.18 by an employee of the Contractor,

a Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose acts they may be liable, the

inspection or testing of the Work in accordance with Sections 13.5.2 and 13.5.3, whether or not such Work is

fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither this authority of the Owner’s Represenative nor a decision

made in good faith either to exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the

Owner’s Representative to the Contractor, Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their agents or

employees, or other persons or entities performing portions of the Work.

§ 4.2.7 The Owner’s Representative will review and approve, or take other appropriate action upon, the Contractor’s

Representative’s action will be taken in accordance with the submittal schedule approved by the Owner’s

Representative or, in the absence of an approved submittal schedule, with reasonable promptness while allowing

sufficient time in the Owner’s Representative’s professional judgment to permit adequate review. Review of such

submittals is not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as

dimensions and quantities, or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems,

all of which remain the responsibility of the Contractor as required by the Contract Documents. The Owner’s review

of the Contractor’s submittals shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.5 and 3.12.

The Owner’s Representative’s review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise

specifically stated by the Owner’s Representative, of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or

procedures. The Owner’s Representative’s approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of

which the item is a component.

practicable after award of the Contract, shall furnish in writing to the Owner the names of persons or entities

(including those who are to furnish materials or equipment fabricated to a special design) proposed for each

principal portion of the Work. The Owner may reply within 14 days to the Contractor in writing stating (1) whether

the Owner has reasonable objection to any such proposed person or entity or (2) that the Owner requires additional

time for review. Failure of the Owner to reply within the 14 day period shall constitute notice of no reasonable

objection.

§ 5.2.2 The Contractor shall not contract with a proposed person or entity to whom the Owner has made reasonable

and timely objection. The Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Contractor has made

reasonable objection.

§ 5.2.3 If the Owner has reasonable objection to a person or entity proposed by the Contractor, the Contractor shall

propose another to whom the Owner has no reasonable objection. If the proposed but rejected Subcontractor was

reasonably capable of performing the Work, the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be increased or decreased by

the difference, if any, occasioned by such change, and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued before

commencement of the substitute Subcontractor’s Work. However, no increase in the Contract Sum or Contract Time

terms of the Contract Documents, and to assume toward the Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities,

including the responsibility for safety of the Subcontractor’s Work, which the Contractor, by these Documents,

assumes toward the Owner. Each subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of the Owner under the

Contract Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor so that subcontracting thereof

will not prejudice such rights, and shall allow to the Subcontractor, unless specifically provided otherwise in the

subcontract agreement, the benefit of all rights, remedies and redress against the Contractor that the Contractor, by

the Contract Documents, has against the Owner. Where appropriate, the Contractor shall require each Subcontractor

to enter into similar agreements with Sub-subcontractors. The Contractor shall make available to each proposed

Subcontractor, prior to the execution of the subcontract agreement, copies of the Contract Documents to which the

Subcontractor will be bound, and, upon written request of the Subcontractor, identify to the Subcontractor terms and

conditions of the proposed subcontract agreement that may be at variance with the Contract Documents.

Subcontractors will similarly make copies of applicable portions of such documents available to their respective

proposed Sub-subcontractors.

§ 5.4 CONTINGENT ASSIGNMENT OF SUBCONTRACTS § 5.4.1 Each subcontract agreement for a portion of the Work is assigned by the Contractor to the Owner, provided

that

.1 assignment is effective only after termination of the Contract by the Owner for cause pursuant to

Section 14.2 and only for those subcontract agreements that the Owner accepts by notifying the

Subcontractor and Contractor in writing; and

.2 assignment is subject to the prior rights of the surety, if any, obligated under bond relating to the

Contract.

When the Owner accepts the assignment of a subcontract agreement, the Owner assumes the Contractor’s rights and

obligations under the subcontract.

§ 5.4.2 Upon such assignment, if the Work has been suspended for more than 30 days, the Subcontractor’s

compensation shall be equitably adjusted for increases in cost resulting from the suspension.

§ 5.4.3 Upon such assignment to the Owner under this Section 5.4, the Owner may further assign the subcontract to a

successor contractor or other entity. If the Owner assigns the subcontract to a successor contractor or other entity,

the Owner shall nevertheless remain legally responsible for all of the successor contractor’s obligations under the

subcontract.

ARTICLE 6 CONSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR BY SEPARATE CONTRACTORS § 6.1 OWNER’S RIGHT TO PERFORM CONSTRUCTION AND TO AWARD SEPARATE CONTRACTS § 6.1.1 The Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operations related to the Project with the Owner’s

own forces, and to award separate contracts in connection with other portions of the Project or other construction or

operations on the site under Conditions of the Contract identical or substantially similar to these including those

portions related to insurance and waiver of subrogation. If the Contractor claims that delay or additional cost is

involved because of such action by the Owner, the Contractor shall make such Claim as provided in Article 15.

§ 6.1.2 When separate contracts are awarded for different portions of the Project or other construction or operations

on the site, the term “Contractor” in the Contract Documents in each case shall mean the Contractor who executes

each separate Owner-Contractor Agreement.

§ 6.1.3 The Owner shall provide for coordination of the activities of the Owner’s own forces and of each separate

contractor with the Work of the Contractor, who shall cooperate with them. The Contractor shall participate with

other separate contractors and the Owner in reviewing their construction schedules. The Contractor shall make any

revisions to the construction schedule deemed necessary after a joint review and mutual agreement. The construction

schedules shall then constitute the schedules to be used by the Contractor, separate contractors and the Owner until

subsequently revised.

§ 6.1.4 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, when the Owner performs construction or operations

related to the Project with the Owner’s own forces, the Owner shall be deemed to be subject to the same obligations

and to have the same rights that apply to the Contractor under the Conditions of the Contract, including, without

excluding others, those stated in Article 3, this Article 6 and Articles 10, 11 and 12.

§ 6.2.2 If part of the Contractor’s Work depends for proper execution or results upon construction or operations by

the Owner or a separate contractor, the Contractor shall, prior to proceeding with that portion of the Work, promptly

report to the Owner’s Representative apparent discrepancies or defects in such other construction that would render

it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Failure of the Contractor so to report shall constitute an

acknowledgment that the Owner’s or separate contractor’s completed or partially completed construction is fit and

proper to receive the Contractor’s Work, except as to defects not then reasonably discoverable.

§ 6.2.3 The Contractor shall reimburse the Owner for costs the Owner incurs that are payable to a separate contractor

because of the Contractor’s delays, improperly timed activities or defective construction. The Owner shall be

responsible to the Contractor for costs the Contractor incurs because of a separate contractor’s delays, improperly

timed activities, damage to the Work or defective construction.

§ 6.2.4 The Contractor shall promptly remedy damage the Contractor wrongfully causes to completed or partially

completed construction or to property of the Owner or separate contractors as provided in Section 10.2.5.

respective contracts for maintaining the premises and surrounding area free from waste materials and rubbish, the

Owner may clean up and the Owner will allocate the cost among those responsible.

ARTICLE 7 CHANGES IN THE WORK § 7.1 GENERAL § 7.1.1 Changes in the Work may be accomplished after execution of the Contract, and without invalidating the

Contract, by Change Order, Construction Change Directive or order for a minor change in the Work, subject to the

limitations stated in this Article 7 and elsewhere in the Contract Documents.

§ 7.1.2 A Change Order shall be based upon agreement between the Owner and Contractor; a Construction Change

Directive requires agreement by the Owner and may or may not be agreed to by the Contractor.

§ 7.1.3 Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Contract Documents, and the

Contractor shall proceed promptly, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order, Construction Change Directive

or order for a minor change in the Work.

§ 7.2 CHANGE ORDERS § 7.2.1 A Change Order is a written instrument prepared by the Owner’s Representative and signed by the Owner

and Contractor stating their agreement upon all of the following:

.1 The change in the Work;

.2 The amount of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum; and

.3 The extent of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Time.

§ 7.3 CONSTRUCTION CHANGE DIRECTIVES § 7.3.1 A Construction Change Directive is a written order prepared by the Owner’s Representative and signed by

the Owner, directing a change in the Work prior to agreement on adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum or Contract

Time, or both. The Owner may by Construction Change Directive, without invalidating the Contract, order changes

in the Work within the general scope of the Contract consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, the

Contract Sum and Contract Time being adjusted accordingly.

§ 7.3.2 A Construction Change Directive shall be used in the absence of total agreement on the terms of a Change

Order.

§ 7.3.3 If the Construction Change Directive provides for an adjustment to the Contract Sum, the adjustment shall be

based on one of the following methods:

.1 Mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to

permit evaluation;






User Notes: (1651207275)

21

.2 Unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon;

.3 Cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually acceptable fixed or

percentage fee; or

.4 As provided in Section 7.3.7.

§ 7.3.4 If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and if quantities originally

contemplated are materially changed in a proposed Change Order or Construction Change Directive so that

application of such unit prices to quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or

Contractor, the applicable unit prices shall be equitably adjusted.

§ 7.3.5 Upon receipt of a Construction Change Directive, the Contractor shall promptly proceed with the change in

the Work involved and advise the Owner of the Contractor’s agreement or disagreement with the method, if any,

provided in the Construction Change Directive for determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract Sum or

Contract Time.

§ 7.3.6 A Construction Change Directive signed by the Contractor indicates the Contractor’s agreement therewith,

including adjustment in Contract Sum and Contract Time or the method for determining them. Such agreement shall

be effective immediately and shall be recorded as a Change Order.

§ 7.3.7 If the Contractor does not respond promptly or disagrees with the method for adjustment in the Contract Sum,

the Owner shall determine the method and the adjustment on the basis of reasonable expenditures and savings of

those performing the Work attributable to the change, including, in case of an increase in the Contract Sum, an

amount for overhead and profit as set forth in the Agreement, or if no such amount is set forth in the Agreement, a

reasonable amount. In such case, and also under Section 7.3.3.3, the Contractor shall keep and present, in such form

as the Owner may prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data. Unless otherwise

provided in the Contract Documents, costs for the purposes of this Section 7.3.7 shall be limited to the following:

.1 Costs of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment insurance, fringe benefits

required by agreement or custom, and workers’ compensation insurance;

.2 Costs of materials, supplies and equipment, including cost of transportation, whether incorporated or

consumed;

.3 Rental costs of machinery and equipment, exclusive of hand tools, whether rented from the

Contractor or others;

.4 Costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance, permit fees, and sales, use or similar taxes related to

the Work; and

.5 Additional costs of supervision and field office personnel directly attributable to the change.

§ 7.3.8 The amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor to the Owner for a deletion or change that results in a

net decrease in the Contract Sum shall be actual net cost as confirmed by the Owner. When both additions and

credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall

be figured on the basis of net increase, if any, with respect to that change.

§ 7.3.9 Pending final determination of the total cost of a Construction Change Directive to the Owner, the Contractor

may request payment for Work completed under the Construction Change Directive in Applications for Payment.

The Owner will make an interim determination for purposes of monthly certification for payment for those costs and

certify for payment the amount that the Owner determines, in the Owner’s professional judgment, to be reasonably

justified. The Owner’s interim determination of cost shall adjust the Contract Sum on the same basis as a Change

Order, subject to the right of either party to disagree and assert a Claim in accordance with Article 15.

§ 7.3.10 When the Owner and Contractor agree concerning the adjustments in the Contract Sum and Contract Time,

or otherwise reach agreement upon the adjustments, such agreement shall be effective immediately and the Owner

will prepare a Change Order. Change Orders may be issued for all or any part of a Construction Change Directive.

ARTICLE 8 TIME § 8.1 DEFINITIONS § 8.1.1 Unless otherwise provided, Contract Time is the period of time, including authorized adjustments, allotted in

furnished by the Contractor and Owner. The date of commencement of the Work shall not be changed by the

effective date of such insurance.

§ 8.2.3 The Contractor shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve Substantial Completion

within the Contract Time.

§ 8.3 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME § 8.3.1 If the Contractor is delayed at any time in the commencement or progress of the Work by an act or neglect of

the Owner, or of an employee of either, or of a separate contractor employed by the Owner; or by changes ordered in

the Work; or by labor disputes, fire, unusual delay in deliveries, unavoidable casualties or other causes beyond the

Contractor’s control; or by delay authorized by the Owner pending mediation and arbitration, then the Contract

Time shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as the Owner may determine.

§ 8.3.2 Claims relating to time shall be made in accordance with applicable provisions of Article 15.

§ 8.3.3 This Section 8.3 does not preclude recovery of damages for delay by either party under other provisions of

the Contract Documents.

ARTICLE 9 PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION § 9.1 CONTRACT SUM The Contract Sum is stated in the Agreement and, including authorized adjustments, is the total amount payable by

the Owner to the Contractor for performance of the Work under the Contract Documents.

§ 9.2 SCHEDULE OF VALUES Where the Contract is based on a stipulated sum or Guaranteed Maximum Price, the Contractor shall submit to the

Owner, before the first Application for Payment, a schedule of values allocating the entire Contract Sum to the

various portions of the Work and prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as

the Owner may require. This schedule, unless objected to by the Owner, shall be used as a basis for reviewing the

Contractor’s Applications for Payment.

§ 9.3 APPLICATIONS FOR PAYMENT § 9.3.1 At least ten days before the date established for each progress payment, the Contractor shall submit to the

Owner an itemized Application for Payment prepared in accordance with the schedule of values, if required under

Section 9.2, for completed portions of the Work. Such application shall be notarized, if required, and supported by

such data substantiating the Contractor’s right to payment as the Ownermay require, such as copies of requisitions

from Subcontractors and material suppliers, and shall reflect retainage if provided for in the Contract Documents.

§ 9.3.1.1 As provided in Section 7.3.9, such applications may include requests for payment on account of changes in

the Work that have been properly authorized by Construction Change Directives, or by interim determinations of the

Owner, but not yet included in Change Orders.

§ 9.3.1.2 Applications for Payment shall not include requests for payment for portions of the Work for which the

Contractor does not intend to pay a Subcontractor or material supplier, unless such Work has been performed by

others whom the Contractor intends to pay.

§ 9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, payments shall be made on account of materials and

equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the Work. If approved in advance

by the Owner, payment may similarly be made for materials and equipment suitably stored off the site at a location

agreed upon in writing. Payment for materials and equipment stored on or off the site shall be conditioned upon

compliance by the Contractor with procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the Owner’s title to such

materials and equipment or otherwise protect the Owner’s interest, and shall include the costs of applicable

insurance, storage and transportation to the site for such materials and equipment stored off the site.

§ 9.3.3 The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by an Application for Payment will pass to the Owner

no later than the time of payment. The Contractor further warrants that upon submittal of an Application for

Payment all Work for which Certificates for Payment have been previously issued and payments received from the

Owner shall, to the best of the Contractor’s knowledge, information and belief, be free and clear of liens, claims,

security interests or encumbrances in favor of the Contractor, Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or

entities making a claim by reason of having provided labor, materials and equipment relating to the Work.

§ 9.4 CERTIFICATES FOR PAYMENT § 9.4.1 The Owner will, within seven days after receipt of the Contractor’s Application for Payment, either issue to

the Contractor a Certificate for Payment for such amount as the Owner determines is properly due, or notify the

Contractor in writing of the Owner’s reasons for withholding certification in whole or in part as provided in Section

9.5.1.

§ 9.4.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a representation by the Owner, based on the Owner’s

evaluation of the Work and the data comprising the Application for Payment, that, to the best of the Owner’s

knowledge, information and belief, the Work has progressed to the point indicated and that the quality of the Work

is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing representations are subject to an evaluation of the

Work for conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to results of subsequent tests and

inspections, to correction of minor deviations from the Contract Documents prior to completion and to specific

qualifications expressed by the Owner. The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will further constitute a

representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified. However, the issuance of a

Certificate for Payment will not be a representation that the Owner has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on-site

inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction means, methods, techniques,

sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and material suppliers

and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor’s right to payment, or (4) made examination to

ascertain how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum.

§ 9.5 DECISIONS TO WITHHOLD CERTIFICATION § 9.5.1 The Owner may withhold a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part, to the extent reasonably necessary to

protect the Owner, if in the Owner’s opinion the representations to the Owner required by Section 9.4.2 cannot be

made. If the Owner is unable to certify payment in the amount of the Application, the Owner will notify the

Contractor and Owner as provided in Section 9.4.1. If the Contractor and Owner cannot agree on a revised amount,

the Owner will promptly issue a Certificate for Payment for the amount for which the Owner is able to make such

representations. The Owner may also withhold a Certificate for Payment or, because of subsequently discovered

evidence, may nullify the whole or a part of a Certificate for Payment previously issued, to such extent as may be

necessary in the Owner’s opinion to protect the Owner from loss for which the Contractor is responsible, including

loss resulting from acts and omissions described in Section 3.3.2, because of

.1 defective Work not remedied;

.2 third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims unless

security acceptable to the Owner is provided by the Contractor;

.3 failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for labor, materials or

equipment;

.4 reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum;

.5 damage to the Owner or a separate contractor;

.6 reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time, and that the

unpaid balance would not be adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages for the anticipated delay;

or

.7 repeated failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

§ 9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding certification are removed, certification will be made for amounts

previously withheld.

§ 9.6 PROGRESS PAYMENTS § 9.6.1 After the Owner has issued a Certificate for Payment, the Owner shall make payment in the manner and

within the time provided in the Contract Documents, and shall so notify the Owner.

§ 9.6.2 The Contractor shall pay each Subcontractor no later than seven days after receipt of payment from the

Owner the amount to which the Subcontractor is entitled, reflecting percentages actually retained from payments to

the Contractor on account of the Subcontractor’s portion of the Work. The Contractor shall, by appropriate

agreement with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make payments to Sub-subcontractors in a similar

manner.

§ 9.6.3 The Owner will, on request, furnish to a Subcontractor, if practicable, information regarding percentages of

completion or amounts applied for by the Contractor and action taken thereon by the Owner and Owner on account

of portions of the Work done by such Subcontractor.

§ 9.6.4 The Owner has the right to request written evidence from the Contractor that the Contractor has properly paid

Subcontractors and material and equipment suppliers amounts paid by the Owner to the Contractor for subcontracted

Work. If the Contractor fails to furnish such evidence within seven days, the Owner shall have the right to contact

Subcontractors to ascertain whether they have been properly paid.The Owner shall have no obligation to pay or to

see to the payment of money to a Subcontractor, except as may otherwise be required by law.

§ 9.6.5 Contractor payments to material and equipment suppliers shall be treated in a manner similar to that provided

in Sections 9.6.2, 9.6.3 and 9.6.4.

§ 9.6.6 A Certificate for Payment, a progress payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the

Owner shall not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents.

§ 9.6.7 Unless the Contractor provides the Owner with a payment bond in the full penal sum of the Contract Sum,

payments received by the Contractor for Work properly performed by Subcontractors and suppliers shall be held by

the Contractor for those Subcontractors or suppliers who performed Work or furnished materials, or both, under

contract with the Contractor for which payment was made by the Owner. Nothing contained herein shall require

money to be placed in a separate account and not commingled with money of the Contractor, shall create any

fiduciary liability or tort liability on the part of the Contractor for breach of trust or shall entitle any person or entity

to an award of punitive damages against the Contractor for breach of the requirements of this provision.

§ 9.7 FAILURE OF PAYMENT If the Owner does not issue a Certificate for Payment, through no fault of the Contractor, within seven days after

receipt of the Contractor’s Application for Payment, or if the Owner does not pay the Contractor within seven days

after the date established in the Contract Documents the amount certified by the Owner or awarded by binding

dispute resolution, then the Contractor may, upon seven additional days’ written notice to the Owner, stop the Work

until payment of the amount owing has been received. The Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and the

Contract Sum shall be increased by the amount of the Contractor’s reasonable costs of shut-down, delay and start-

up, plus interest as provided for in the Contract Documents.

§ 9.8 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION § 9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or designated portion thereof

is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the

Work for its intended use.

§ 9.8.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept

separately, is substantially complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Owner a comprehensive list of

items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment. Failure to include an item on such list does not alter the

responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.






User Notes: (1651207275)

25

§ 9.8.3 Upon receipt of the Contractor’s list, the Owner will make an inspection to determine whether the Work or

designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the Owner’s inspection discloses any item, whether or not

included on the Contractor’s list, which is not sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so

that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work or designated portion thereof for its intended use, the Contractor

shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or correct such item upon notification

by the Owner. In such case, the Contractor shall then submit a request for another inspection by the Owner to

determine Substantial Completion.

§ 9.8.4 When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Owner will prepare a Certificate

of Substantial Completion that shall establish the date of Substantial Completion, shall establish responsibilities of

the Owner and Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and shall fix

the time within which the Contractor shall finish all items on the list accompanying the Certificate. 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.

§ 9.8.5 The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the Owner and Contractor for their written

acceptance of responsibilities assigned to them in such Certificate. Upon such acceptance and consent of surety, if

any, the Owner shall make payment of retainage applying to such Work or designated portion thereof. Such payment

shall be adjusted for Work that is incomplete or not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

§ 9.9 PARTIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE § 9.9.1 The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially completed portion of the Work at any stage when

such portion is designated by separate agreement with the Contractor, provided such occupancy or use is consented

to by the insurer as required under Section 11.3.1.5 and authorized by public authorities having jurisdiction over the

Project. Such partial occupancy or use may commence whether or not the portion is substantially complete, provided

the Owner and Contractor have accepted in writing the responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments,

retainage, if any, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and have agreed in

writing concerning the period for correction of the Work and commencement of warranties required by the Contract

Documents. When the Contractor considers a portion substantially complete, the Contractor shall prepare and

submit a list to the Architect as provided under Section 9.8.2. Consent of the Contractor to partial occupancy or use

shall not be unreasonably withheld. The stage of the progress of the Work shall be determined by written agreement

between the Owner and Contractor.

§ 9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner and Contractor shall jointly inspect the area to

be occupied or portion of the Work to be used in order to determine and record the condition of the Work.

§ 9.9.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial occupancy or use of a portion or portions of the Work shall not

constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

§ 9.10 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT § 9.10.1 Upon receipt of the Contractor’s written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance

and upon receipt of a final Application for Payment, the Owner will promptly make such inspection and, when the

Owner finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed, the Owner will

promptly issue a final Certificate for Payment stating that to the best of the Owner’s knowledge, information and

belief, and on the basis of the Owner’s on-site visits and inspections, the Work has been completed in accordance

with terms and conditions of the Contract Documents and that the entire balance found to be due the Contractor and

noted in the final Certificate is due and payable. The Owner’s final Certificate for Payment will constitute a further

representation that conditions listed in Section 9.10.2 as precedent to the Contractor’s being entitled to final payment

have been fulfilled.

§ 9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the Contractor submits

to the Owner (1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with

the Work for which the Owner or the Owner’s property might be responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld

by Owner) have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) a certificate evidencing that insurance required by the Contract

Documents to remain in force after final payment is currently in effect and will not be canceled or allowed to expire

until at least 30 days’ prior written notice has been given to the Owner, (3) a written statement that the Contractor

knows of no substantial reason that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by the Contract

Documents, (4) consent of surety, if any, to final payment and (5), if required by the Owner, other data establishing

payment or satisfaction of obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests or

encumbrances arising out of the Contract, to the extent and in such form as may be designated by the Owner. If a

Subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner, the Contractor may furnish a bond

satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify the Owner against such lien. If such lien remains unsatisfied after payments

are made, the Contractor shall refund to the Owner all money that the Owner may be compelled to pay in

discharging such lien, including all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

§ 9.10.3 If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault

of the Contractor or by issuance of Change Orders affecting final completion, and the Owner so confirms, the

Owner shall, upon application by the Contractor and certification by the Owner, and without terminating the

Contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the

remaining balance for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than retainage stipulated in the Contract

Documents, and if bonds have been furnished, the written consent of surety to payment of the balance due for that

portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor to the Owner prior to

certification of such payment. Such payment shall be made under terms and conditions governing final payment,

except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims.

§ 9.10.4 The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of Claims by the Owner except those arising from

.1 liens, Claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the Contract and unsettled;

.2 failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents; or

.3 terms of special warranties required by the Contract Documents.

§ 9.10.5 Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor, a Subcontractor or material supplier shall constitute a waiver

of claims by that payee except those previously made in writing and identified by that payee as unsettled at the time

of final Application for Payment.

insured, shall be given to the other party within a reasonable time not exceeding 21 days after discovery. The notice

shall provide sufficient detail to enable the other party to investigate the matter.

§ 10.3 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS § 10.3.1 The Contractor is responsible for compliance with any requirements included in the Contract Documents

regarding hazardous materials. If the Contractor encounters a hazardous material or substance not addressed in the

Contract Documents and if reasonable precautions will be inadequate to prevent foreseeable bodily injury or death

to persons resulting from a material or substance, including but not limited to asbestos or polychlorinated biphenyl

stop Work in the affected area and report the condition to the Owner in writing.

§ 10.3.2 Upon receipt of the Contractor’s written notice, the Owner shall obtain the services of a licensed laboratory

Contract Documents, the Owner shall furnish in writing to the Contractor the names and qualifications of persons or

entities who are to perform tests verifying the presence or absence of such material or substance or who are to

perform the task of removal or safe containment of such material or substance. The Contractor will promptly reply

Subcontractors, 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

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.

Modifications and cost of materials supplied or installed by others, comprising total value for the entire Project at

the site on a replacement cost basis without optional deductibles. Such property insurance shall be maintained,

unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents or otherwise agreed in writing by all persons and entities who

§ 11.3.6 Before an exposure to loss may occur, the Owner shall file with the Contractor a copy of each policy that

includes insurance coverages required by this Section 11.3. Each policy shall contain all generally applicable

conditions, definitions, exclusions and endorsements related to this Project. Each policy shall contain a provision

that the policy will not be canceled or allowed to expire, and that its limits will not be reduced, until at least 30 days’

prior written notice has been given to the Contractor.

§ 11.3.7 WAIVERS OF SUBROGATION The Owner and Contractor waive all rights against each other and any of their subcontractors, sub-subcontractors,

agents and employees, each of the otherfor damages caused by fire or other causes of loss to the extent covered by

property insurance obtained pursuant to this Section 11.3 or other property insurance applicable to the Work, except

such rights as they have to proceeds of such insurance held by the Owner as fiduciary. The policies shall provide

such waivers of subrogation by endorsement or otherwise. A waiver of subrogation shall be effective as to a person

or entity even though that person or entity would otherwise have a duty of indemnification, contractual or otherwise,

did not pay the insurance premium directly or indirectly, and whether or not the person or entity had an insurable

interest in the property damaged.

§ 11.3.8 A loss insured under the Owner’s property insurance shall be adjusted by the Owner as fiduciary and made

payable to the Owner as fiduciary for the insureds, as their interests may appear, subject to requirements of any

applicable mortgagee clause and of Section 11.3.10. The Contractor shall pay Subcontractors their just shares of

insurance proceeds received by the Contractor, and by appropriate agreements, written where legally required for

validity, shall require Subcontractors to make payments to their Sub-subcontractors in similar manner.

§ 11.3.9 If required in writing by a party in interest, the Owner as fiduciary shall, upon occurrence of an insured loss,

give bond for proper performance of the Owner’s duties. The cost of required bonds shall be charged against

proceeds received as fiduciary. The Owner shall deposit in a separate account proceeds so received, which the

Owner shall distribute in accordance with such agreement as the parties in interest may reach, or as determined in

accordance with the method of binding dispute resolution selected in the Agreement between the Owner and

Contractor. If after such loss no other special agreement is made and unless the Owner terminates the Contract for

convenience, replacement of damaged property shall be performed by the Contractor after notification of a Change

in the Work in accordance with Article 7.

§ 11.3.10 The Owner as fiduciary shall have power to adjust and settle a loss with insurers unless one of the parties in

interest shall object in writing within five days after occurrence of loss to the Owner’s exercise of this power; if such

objection is made, the dispute shall be resolved in the manner selected by the Owner and Contractor as the method

of binding dispute resolution in the Agreement. If the Owner and Contractor have selected arbitration as the method

of binding dispute resolution, the Owner as fiduciary shall make settlement with insurers or, in the case of a dispute

over distribution of insurance proceeds, in accordance with the directions of the arbitrators.

§ 11.4 PERFORMANCE BOND AND PAYMENT BOND § 11.4.1 The Owner shall have the right to require the Contractor to furnish bonds covering faithful performance of

the Contract and payment of obligations arising thereunder as stipulated in bidding requirements or specifically

required in the Contract Documents on the date of execution of the Contract.

§ 11.4.2 Upon the request of any person or entity appearing to be a potential beneficiary of bonds covering payment

of obligations arising under the Contract, the Contractor shall promptly furnish a copy of the bonds or shall

authorize a copy to be furnished.

ARTICLE 12 UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK § 12.1 UNCOVERING OF WORK § 12.1.1 If a portion of the Work is covered contrary to the Owner’s request or to requirements specifically expressed

in the Contract Documents, it must, if requested in writing by the Owner, be uncovered for the Owner’s examination

and be replaced at the Contractor’s expense without change in the Contract Time.

31

§ 12.1.2 If a portion of the Work has been covered that the Owner has not specifically requested to examine prior to

its being covered, the Owner may request to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by the Contractor. If such

Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents, costs of uncovering and replacement shall, by appropriate

Change Order, be at the Owner’s expense. If such Work is not in accordance with the Contract Documents, such

costs and the cost of correction shall be at the Contractor’s expense unless the condition was caused by the Owner or

a separate contractor in which event the Owner shall be responsible for payment of such costs.

§ 12.2 CORRECTION OF WORK § 12.2.1 BEFORE OR AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION The Contractor shall promptly correct Work rejected by the Owner or failing to conform to the requirements of the

Contract Documents, whether discovered before or after Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated,

installed or completed.

§ 12.2.2 AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION § 12.2.2.1 In addition to the Contractor’s obligations under Section 3.5, if, within one year after the date of

Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof or after the date for commencement of warranties

established under Section 9.9.1, or by terms of an applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents,

any of the Work is found to be not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor

shall correct it promptly after receipt of written notice from the Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously

given the Contractor a written acceptance of such condition. The Owner shall give such notice promptly after

discovery of the condition. During the one-year period for correction of Work, if the Owner fails to notify the

Contractor and give the Contractor an opportunity to make the correction, the Owner waives the rights to require

correction by the Contractor and to make a claim for breach of warranty. If the Contractor fails to correct

nonconforming Work within a reasonable time during that period after receipt of notice from the Owner or

Architect, the Owner may correct it in accordance with Section 2.4.

§ 12.2.2.2 The one-year period for correction of Work shall be extended with respect to portions of Work first

performed after Substantial Completion by the period of time between Substantial Completion and the actual

completion of that portion of the Work.

§ 12.2.2.3 The one-year period for correction of Work shall not be extended by corrective Work performed by the

Contractor pursuant to this Section 12.2.

§ 12.2.3 The Contractor shall remove from the site portions of the Work that are not in accordance with the

requirements of the Contract Documents and are neither corrected by the Contractor nor accepted by the Owner.

§ 12.2.4 The Contractor shall bear the cost of correcting destroyed or damaged construction, whether completed or

partially completed, of the Owner or separate contractors caused by the Contractor’s correction or removal of Work

that is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

§ 12.2.5 Nothing contained in this Section 12.2 shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to

other obligations the Contractor has under the Contract Documents. Establishment of the one-year period for

correction of Work as described in Section 12.2.2 relates only to the specific obligation of the Contractor to correct

the Work, and has no relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply with the Contract Documents

may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish the

Contractor’s liability with respect to the Contractor’s obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.

§ 12.3 ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK If the Owner prefers to accept Work that is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the

Owner may do so instead of requiring its removal and correction, in which case the Contract Sum will be reduced as

appropriate and equitable. Such adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made.

ARTICLE 13 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS § 13.1 GOVERNING LAW The Contract shall be governed by the laws of the Quinault Indian Nation.

§ 13.2 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS § 13.2.1 The Owner and Contractor respectively bind themselves, their partners, successors, assigns and legal

representatives to covenants, agreements and obligations contained in the Contract Documents. Except as provided






User Notes: (1651207275)

other. If either party attempts to make such an assignment without such consent, that party shall nevertheless remain

legally responsible for all obligations under the Contract.

§ 13.2.2 The Owner may, without consent of the Contractor, assign the Contract to a lender providing construction

financing for the Project, if the lender assumes the Owner’s rights and obligations under the Contract Documents.

The Contractor shall execute all consents reasonably required to facilitate such assignment.

§ 13.3 WRITTEN NOTICE Written notice shall be deemed to have been duly served if delivered in person to the individual, to a member of the

firm or entity, or to an officer of the corporation for which it was intended; or if delivered at, or sent by registered or

certified mail or by courier service providing proof of delivery to, the last business address known to the party

giving notice.

§ 13.4 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES § 13.4.1 Duties and obligations imposed by the Contract Documents and rights and remedies available thereunder

shall be in addition to and not a limitation of duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available

by law.

§ 13.4.2 No action or failure to act by the Owner or Contractor shall constitute a waiver of a right or duty afforded

them under the Contract, nor shall such action or failure to act constitute approval of or acquiescence in a breach

there under, except as may be specifically agreed in writing.

§ 13.5 TESTS AND INSPECTIONS § 13.5.1 Tests, inspections and approvals of portions of the Work shall be made as required by the Contract

Documents and by applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations or lawful orders of public

authorities. Unless otherwise provided, the Contractor shall make arrangements for such tests, inspections and

approvals with an independent testing laboratory or entity acceptable to the Owner, or with the appropriate public

authority, and shall bear all related costs of tests, inspections and approvals. The Contractor shall give the Architect

timely notice of when and where tests and inspections are to be made so that the Architect may be present for such

procedures. The Owner shall bear costs of (1) tests, inspections or approvals that do not become requirements until

after bids are received or negotiations concluded, and (2) tests, inspections or approvals where building codes or

applicable laws or regulations prohibit the Owner from delegating their cost to the Contractor.

§ 13.5.2 If theOwner or public authorities having jurisdiction determine that portions of the Work require additional

testing, inspection or approval not included under Section 13.5.1, the Owner will instruct the Contractor to make

arrangements for such additional testing, inspection or approval by an entity acceptable to the Owner, and the

Contractor shall give timely notice to the Owner of when and where tests and inspections are to be made so that the

Owner may be present for such procedures. Such costs, except as provided in Section 13.5.3, shall be at the Owner’s

expense.

§ 13.5.3 If such procedures for testing, inspection or approval under Sections 13.5.1 and 13.5.2 reveal failure of the

portions of the Work to comply with requirements established by the Contract Documents, all costs made necessary

by such failure including those of repeated procedures and compensation for the Owner’s services and expenses

shall be at the Contractor’s expense.

§ 13.5.4 Required certificates of testing, inspection or approval shall, unless otherwise required by the Contract

Documents, be secured by the Contractor and promptly delivered to the Owner.

§ 13.5.5 If the Owner is to observe tests, inspections or approvals required by the Contract Documents, the Owner

will do so promptly and, where practicable, at the normal place of testing.

§ 13.5.6 Tests or inspections conducted pursuant to the Contract Documents shall be made promptly to avoid

unreasonable delay in the Work.

§ 13.6 INTEREST Payments due and unpaid under the Contract Documents shall bear interest from the date payment is due at such rate

as the parties may agree upon in writing or, in the absence thereof, at the legal rate prevailing from time to time at

the place where the Project is located.

§ 13.7 TIME LIMITS ON CLAIMS The Owner and Contractor shall commence all claims and causes of action, whether in contract, tort, breach of

warranty or otherwise, against the other arising out of or related to the Contract in accordance with the requirements

of the final dispute resolution method selected in the Agreement within the time period specified by applicable law,

but in any case not more than 10 years after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work. The Owner and

Contractor waive all claims and causes of action not commenced in accordance with this Section 13.7.

ARTICLE 14 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE CONTRACT § 14.1 TERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTOR § 14.1.1 The Contractor may terminate the Contract if the Work is stopped for a period of 30 consecutive days

through no act or fault of the Contractor or a Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor or their agents or employees or any

other persons or entities performing portions of the Work under direct or indirect contract with the Contractor, for

any of the following reasons:

.1 Issuance of an order of a court or other public authority having jurisdiction that requires all Work to

be stopped;

.2 An act of government, such as a declaration of national emergency that requires all Work to be

stopped;

.3 Because the Owner has not issued a Certificate for Payment and has not notified the Contractor of the

reason for withholding certification as provided in Section 9.4.1, or because the Owner has not made

payment on a Certificate for Payment within the time stated in the Contract Documents; or

.4 The Owner has failed to furnish to the Contractor promptly, upon the Contractor’s request, reasonable

evidence as required by Section 2.2.1.

§ 14.1.2 The Contractor may terminate the Contract if, through no act or fault of the Contractor or a Subcontractor,

Sub-subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work

under direct or indirect contract with the Contractor, repeated suspensions, delays or interruptions of the entire Work

by the Owner as described in Section 14.3 constitute in the aggregate more than 100 percent of the total number of

days scheduled for completion, or 120 days in any 365-day period, whichever is less.

§ 14.1.3 If one of the reasons described in Section 14.1.1 or 14.1.2 exists, the Contractor may, upon seven days’

written notice to the Owner, terminate the Contract and recover from the Owner payment for Work executed,

including reasonable overhead and profit, costs incurred by reason of such termination, and damages.

§ 14.1.4 If the Work is stopped for a period of 60 consecutive days through no act or fault of the Contractor or a

Subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other persons performing portions of the Work under contract

with the Contractor because the Owner has repeatedly failed to fulfill the Owner’s obligations under the Contract

Documents with respect to matters important to the progress of the Work, the Contractor may, upon seven additional

days’ written notice to the Owner, terminate the Contract and recover from the Owner as provided in Section 14.1.3.

§ 14.2 TERMINATION BY THE OWNER FOR CAUSE § 14.2.1 The Owner may terminate the Contract if the Contractor

.1 repeatedly refuses or fails to supply enough properly skilled workers or proper materials;

.2 fails to make payment to Subcontractors for materials or labor in accordance with the respective

agreements between the Contractor and the Subcontractors;

.3 repeatedly disregards applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, or lawful

orders of a public authority; or

.4 otherwise is guilty of substantial breach of a provision of the Contract Documents.

§ 14.2.2 When any of the above reasons exist, the Owner, upon certification by the Initial Decision Maker that

sufficient cause exists to justify such action, may without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the Owner and

after giving the Contractor and the Contractor’s surety, if any, seven days’ written notice, terminate employment of

the Contractor and may, subject to any prior rights of the surety:

construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Contractor;

.2 Accept assignment of subcontracts pursuant to Section 5.4; and

.3 Finish the Work by whatever reasonable method the Owner may deem expedient. Upon written

request of the Contractor, the Owner shall furnish to the Contractor a detailed accounting of the costs

incurred by the Owner in finishing the Work.

by the Owner and not expressly waived, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such costs and damages

exceed the unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner. The amount to be paid to the

Contractor or Owner, as the case may be, shall be certified by the Initial Decision Maker, upon application, and this

obligation for payment shall survive termination of the Contract.

§ 14.3 SUSPENSION BY THE OWNER FOR CONVENIENCE § 14.3.1 The Owner may, without cause, order the Contractor in writing to suspend, delay or interrupt the Work in

whole or in part for such period of time as the Owner may determine.

suspension, delay or interruption as described in Section 14.3.1. Adjustment of the Contract Sum shall include

profit. No adjustment shall be made to the extent

.1 that performance is, was or would have been so suspended, delayed or interrupted by another cause

for which the Contractor is responsible; or

.2 that an equitable adjustment is made or denied under another provision of the Contract.

§ 14.4 TERMINATION BY THE OWNER FOR CONVENIENCE § 14.4.1 The Owner may, at any time, terminate the Contract for the Owner’s convenience and without cause.

§ 14.4.2 Upon receipt of written notice from the Owner of such termination for the Owner’s convenience, the

Contractor shall

.1 cease operations as directed by the Owner in the notice;

.2 take actions necessary, or that the Owner may direct, for the protection and preservation of the Work;

and

.3 except for Work directed to be performed prior to the effective date of termination stated in the

notice, terminate all existing subcontracts and purchase orders and enter into no further subcontracts

and purchase orders.

§ 14.4.3 In case of such termination for the Owner’s convenience, the Contractor shall be entitled to receive payment

for Work executed, and costs incurred by reason of such termination, along with reasonable overhead and profit on

the Work not executed.

ARTICLE 15 CLAIMS AND DISPUTES § 15.1 CLAIMS § 15.1.1 DEFINITION A Claim is a demand or assertion by one of the parties seeking, as a matter of right, payment of money, or other

§ 15.1.3 CONTINUING CONTRACT PERFORMANCE Pending final resolution of a Claim, except as otherwise agreed in writing or as provided in Section 9.7 and Article

payments in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Owner will prepare Change Orders and issue Certificates

for Payment in accordance with the decisions of the Initial Decision Maker.

be given before proceeding to execute the Work. Prior notice is not required for Claims relating to an emergency

endangering life or property arising under Section 10.4.

§ 15.1.5 CLAIMS FOR ADDITIONAL TIME § 15.1.5.1 If the Contractor wishes to make a Claim for an increase in the Contract Time, written notice as provided

herein shall be given. The Contractor’s Claim shall include an estimate of cost and of probable effect of delay on

progress of the Work. In the case of a continuing delay, only one Claim is necessary.

§ 15.1.5.2 If adverse weather conditions are the basis for a Claim for additional time, such Claim shall be

documented by data substantiating that weather conditions were abnormal for the period of time, could not have

been reasonably anticipated and had an adverse effect on the scheduled construction.

§ 15.1.6 CLAIMS FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES The Contractor and Owner waive Claims against each other for consequential damages arising out of or relating to

this Contract. This mutual waiver includes

.1 damages incurred by the Owner for rental expenses, for losses of use, income, profit, financing,

business and reputation, and for loss of management or employee productivity or of the services of

such persons; and

personnel stationed there, for losses of financing, business and reputation, and for loss of profit

except anticipated profit arising directly from the Work.

This mutual waiver is applicable, without limitation, to all consequential damages due to either party’s termination

in accordance with Article 14. Nothing contained in this Section 15.1.6 shall be deemed to preclude an award of

liquidated damages, when applicable, in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

§ 15.2 INITIAL DECISION § 15.2.1 Claims, excluding those arising under Sections 10.3, 10.4, 11.3.9, and 11.3.10, shall be referred to the Initial

Decision Maker for initial decision. The Owner’s Representative will serve as the Initial Decision Maker, unless

otherwise indicated in the Agreement. Except for those Claims excluded by this Section 15.2.1, an initial decision

shall be required as a condition precedent to mediation of any Claim arising prior to the date final payment is due,

unless 30 days have passed after the Claim has been referred to the Initial Decision Maker with no decision having

been rendered. Unless the Initial Decision Maker and all affected parties agree, the Initial Decision Maker will not

decide disputes between the Contractor and persons or entities other than the Owner.

§ 15.2.2 The Initial Decision Maker will review Claims and within ten days of the receipt of a Claim take one or

more of the following actions: (1) request additional supporting data from the claimant or a response with supporting

data from the other party, (2) reject the Claim in whole or in part, (3) approve the Claim, (4) suggest a compromise,

or (5) advise the parties that the Initial Decision Maker is unable to resolve the Claim if the Initial Decision Maker

lacks sufficient information to evaluate the merits of the Claim or if the Initial Decision Maker concludes that, in the

Initial Decision Maker’s sole discretion, it would be inappropriate for the Initial Decision Maker to resolve the

Claim.

§ 15.2.3 In evaluating Claims, the Initial Decision Maker may, but shall not be obligated to, consult with or seek

information from either party or from persons with special knowledge or expertise who may assist the Initial

Decision Maker in rendering a decision. The Initial Decision Maker may request the Owner to authorize retention of

such persons at the Owner’s expense.

§ 15.2.4 If the Initial Decision Maker requests a party to provide a response to a Claim or to furnish additional

supporting data, such party shall respond, within ten days after receipt of such request, and shall either (1) provide a






User Notes: (1651207275)

36

response on the requested supporting data, (2) advise the Initial Decision Maker when the response or supporting

data will be furnished or (3) advise the Initial Decision Maker that no supporting data will be furnished. Upon

receipt of the response or supporting data, if any, the Initial Decision Maker will either reject or approve the Claim

in whole or in part.

§ 15.2.5 The Initial Decision Maker will render an initial decision approving or rejecting the Claim, or indicating that

the Initial Decision Maker is unable to resolve the Claim. This initial decision shall (1) be in writing; (2) state the

reasons therefor; and (3) notify the parties of any change in the Contract Sum or Contract Time or both. The initial

decision shall be final and binding on the parties but subject to mediation and, if the parties fail to resolve their

dispute through mediation, to binding dispute resolution.

§ 15.2.6 Either party may file for mediation of an initial decision at any time, subject to the terms of Section 15.2.6.1.

§ 15.2.6.1 Either party may, within 30 days from the date of an initial decision, demand in writing that the other party

file for mediation within 60 days of the initial decision. If such a demand is made and the party receiving the

demand fails to file for mediation within the time required, then both parties waive their rights to mediate or pursue

binding dispute resolution proceedings with respect to the initial decision.

§ 15.2.7 In the event of a Claim against the Contractor, the Owner may, but is not obligated to, notify the surety, if

any, of the nature and amount of the Claim. If the Claim relates to a possibility of a Contractor’s default, the Owner

may, but is not obligated to, notify the surety and request the surety’s assistance in resolving the controversy.

§ 15.2.8 If a Claim relates to or is the subject of a mechanic’s lien, the party asserting such Claim may proceed in

accordance with applicable law to comply with the lien notice or filing deadlines.

§ 15.3 MEDIATION § 15.3.1 Claims, disputes, or other matters in controversy arising out of or related to the Contract except those

waived as provided for in Sections 9.10.4, 9.10.5, and 15.1.6 shall be subject to mediation as a condition precedent

to binding dispute resolution.

§ 15.3.2 The parties shall endeavor to resolve their Claims by mediation which, unless the parties mutually agree

otherwise, shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Construction

Industry Mediation Procedures in effect on the date of the Agreement. A request for mediation shall be made in

writing, delivered to the other party to the Contract, and filed with the person or entity administering the mediation.

The request may be made concurrently with the filing of binding dispute resolution proceedings but, in such event,

mediation shall proceed in advance of binding dispute resolution proceedings, which shall be stayed pending

mediation for a period of 60 days from the date of filing, unless stayed for a longer period by agreement of the

parties or court order. If an arbitration is stayed pursuant to this Section 15.3.2, the parties may nonetheless proceed

to the selection of the arbitrator(s) and agree upon a schedule for later proceedings.

§ 15.3.3 The parties shall share the mediator’s fee and any filing fees equally. The mediation shall be held in the

place where the Project is located, unless another location is mutually agreed upon. Agreements reached in

mediation shall be enforceable as settlement agreements in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

§ 15.4 ARBITRATION § 15.4.1 If the parties have selected arbitration as the method for binding dispute resolution in the Agreement, any

Claim subject to, but not resolved by, mediation shall be subject to arbitration which, unless the parties mutually

agree otherwise, shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Construction

Industry Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of the Agreement. A demand for arbitration shall be made in writing,

delivered to the other party to the Contract, and filed with the person or entity administering the arbitration. The

party filing a notice of demand for arbitration must assert in the demand all Claims then known to that party on

which arbitration is permitted to be demanded.

§ 15.4.1.1 A demand for arbitration shall be made no earlier than concurrently with the filing of a request for

mediation, but in no event shall it be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based

on the Claim would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. For statute of limitations purposes, receipt of a

written demand for arbitration by the person or entity administering the arbitration shall constitute the institution of

legal or equitable proceedings based on the Claim.

§ 15.4.2 The award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in

accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

§ 15.4.3 The foregoing agreement to arbitrate and other agreements to arbitrate with an additional person or entity

duly consented to by parties to the Agreement shall be specifically enforceable under applicable law in any court

having jurisdiction thereof.

§ 15.4.4 CONSOLIDATION OR JOINDER § 15.4.4.1 Either party, at its sole discretion, may consolidate an arbitration conducted under this Agreement with any

other arbitration to which it is a party provided that (1) the arbitration agreement governing the other arbitration

permits consolidation, (2) the arbitrations to be consolidated substantially involve common questions of law or fact,

and (3) the arbitrations employ materially similar procedural rules and methods for selecting arbitrator(s).

§ 15.4.4.2 Either party, at its sole discretion, may include by joinder persons or entities substantially involved in a

common question of law or fact whose presence is required if complete relief is to be accorded in arbitration,

provided that the party sought to be joined consents in writing to such joinder. Consent to arbitration involving an

additional person or entity shall not constitute consent to arbitration of any claim, dispute or other matter in question

not described in the written consent.

§ 15.4.4.3 The Owner and Contractor grant to any person or entity made a party to an arbitration conducted under

this Section 15.4, whether by joinder or consolidation, the same rights of joinder and consolidation as the Owner and

Contractor under this Agreement.
