property rights claimed on the Project made or threatened under state Law by Subcontractors, Material

XXV. Grounds for Withholding Payment
A. Owner may withhold payment due Contractor for Defective Work which has not been corrected

B. Owner may withhold payment due Contractor on the filing of a legal Claim against Contractor
by any third party if the Claim relates to the subject matter of this contract and (1) May result in a lien

loss to Owner from the legal Claim made.
C. Owner may withhold payment due Contractor for failure by Contractor to meet financial
obligations to Subcontractors, tradesmen or Material Suppliers on the Project. Failure to meet financial
obligations shall not constitute cause to withhold payment if Contractor has provided a Payment Bond
from a licensed Surety, guaranteeing payment of Subcontractors, Material Suppliers, and tradesmen.
D. Owner may withhold payment due Contractor when reasonable evidence exists that the Project
cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the contract amount. Inability to complete the Project for

completion Bond from a licensed Surety guaranteeing completion of the Project.
E. Owner may withhold from payments due Contractor a sum adequate to reimburse Owner for any
Page 7
damage suffered by Owner or for which Owner may be liable and which was caused by an act or neglect
of Contractor or by anyone for whom Contractor may be liable. Damage to Owner shall not constitute
grounds to withhold payment if Contractor has insurance coverage which would prevent loss to Owner
from the damage claimed.
F. Owner may withhold payment due Contractor for unauthorized deviations from the Contract
Documents or persistent failure to observe Requirements of the Contract Documents.
G. Owner may withhold payment due Contractor for neglect of Contractor to obtain a required
permit or license or to comply with applicable Law, ordinance, code, or regulation, providing such
neglect of Contractor has a material impact on satisfactory completion of the Project in compliance with
the Contract Documents.
H. Grounds entitling Owner to withhold certain amounts due Contractor under this agreement shall
not relieve Owner from the obligation to pay Contractor other amounts then due and shall not relieve
Owner of the obligation to pay in full when the reason for withholding payment no longer exists.
I. Withholding of payment by Owner under the terms of this agreement does not constitute either
breach of contract or default by Owner.
XXVI. Final Payment
A. Contractor will submit an application for final payment to Owner when the Work has been
completed in compliance with the Contract Documents. If Owner agrees that Work has been completed,
payment is due Contractor for the entire unpaid balance of the contract amount (including any
Retainage).
B. Making of final payment constitutes waiver of all Claims by Owner against Contractor, except:
(1) Outstanding lien Claims or Claims for liens, (2) Claims for Defective Work specifically identified
before the making of final payment, (3) Defects which result from failure by Contractor to perform the
Work in strict accordance with the Contract Documents, (4) Any warranty or guarantee required by the
Contract Documents, (5) Any Claim for which Contractor was specifically given notice before final
payment, and (6) Any right Owner has as a matter of Law.
C. The acceptance of final payment by Contractor shall constitute a release by Contractor of known
Claims against Owner arising out of this contract except those Claims which (1) Have been made in
writing and identified by Contractor as not having been settled at that time, or (2) Are based on fraud or
misconduct by Owner.
D. Owner has no obligation to make final payment until unconditional waivers of lien in a form
satisfactory to Owner, lenders and Sureties have been received from Contractor, Subcontractors,
vendors, tradesmen, and all Material Suppliers with lien rights on the Project. Contractor may furnish a
Bond satisfactory to Owner in lieu of waivers of lien.
E. Owner has no obligation to make final payment until all Punch List items have been
satisfactorily completed unless Owner agrees to accept a certified check equal to the value of any
uncompleted Work.
F. Owner has no obligation to make final payment until a certificate of occupancy has been issued
or a final Inspection has been completed by the appropriate governing authority.
G. Application for final payment constitutes affirmation by Contractor that all payrolls, bills for
materials, equipment charges, and other obligations of Contractor in connection with the Work have
been paid or otherwise satisfied.

 XXVII. Changes in the Work
A. Without invalidating the terms of this agreement, Owner may direct Contractor to make changes
to the Work which are within the general scope of the contract, including changes in the Plans and
Specifications and changes which add, delete or revise portions of the Work. Changes ordered by Owner
shall be in writing and shall result in a revision of the Contract Price and the Contract Time as provided
by this agreement.
B. Any change in Plans, Specifications or Contract Documents necessary to conform to existing or
future Laws, codes, ordinances or regulations shall be considered Extra Work.
C. The price adjustment for Extra Work or reduced Work required by a Change Order shall be the
difference in cost to Contractor for material, labor (including actual medical, pension and vacation
expense), Subcontract expense, equipment cost, supervision, taxes, insurance and overhead plus a
reasonable profit. Profit and overhead (including Job Site overhead, off-site overhead and overhead
caused by delay) shall be 25 percent of the cost of Work performed by crews of Contractor and 15
percent for Work performed by any Subcontractor. No deduction for overhead and profit shall be made
on a Change Order which results in a net credit to Owner.
D. No Claim for payment for Extra Work and no Claim for additional time to complete the Work
shall be recognized under this agreement without a written Change Order or a notice of Claim. Failure
by Contractor to assert the right to a written Change Order or a Claim within 30 calendar days after
beginning Work on a change in the Work shall constitute waiver by Contractor of the right to additional
compensation and waiver of the right to additional time to complete a change in the Work. No act or
omission of either Contractor or Owner shall be interpreted as waiver of the Requirement for a written
Change Order or notice of Claim, nor shall any Claim that Owner has been unjustly enriched support a
Claim for a constructive Change Order. The provisions of this paragraph are the essence of this
agreement.
E. If Owner directs a change in the Work, the change shall be incorporated into this contract by a
Change Order. Contractor shall proceed with Work identified in the Change Order even without
agreement on the change in the Contract Price or the Contract Time, if any.
F. Contractor will include the following clause in each Subcontract for the Project: "When required
by a change in the Prime Contract between Owner and Contractor, Contractor may require the
Subcontractor to make changes to the Work which are required by changes in the Prime Contract,
including changes in the Plans and Specifications and changes which add, delete or revise portions of
the Work. Each change required by Contractor shall be in the form of a written Change Order and shall
result in a change in the Contract Price and the Contract Time, if any."
G. Failure of Contractor and Owner to agree on the terms of a Change Order shall be resolved under
the provisions of this agreement which cover Claims and disputes.
H. Should Contractor and Owner fail to agree promptly on the terms of a Change Order, Contractor
shall be paid, pending resolution of the dispute, the portion of the cost of the change not in dispute,
including the costs of time and materials required to execute the change. Payments required under this
paragraph shall be made as the Work progresses, concurrently with progress payments.
XXVIII. Contractor Claims
A. If Contractor claims that any instruction, Drawing, act or omission of Owner or any
representative of Owner, or any agency of government, increases costs to Contractor, requires extra time
or changes the Scope of Work, Contractor shall have the right to assert a Claim for such costs or time.

Page 9
 XXIX. Notice of Claims

breach thereof which cannot be resolved by mediations shall be settled by arbitration administered by
the American Arbitration Association under its Construction Industry Arbitration Rules, and judgment
on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
1. Any controversy or Claim arising out of or relating to this contract or contract warranty or the
breach thereof or a Change Order or addendum to this contract which cannot be resolved by mediations

Construction Industry Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
B. Any representative of Owner or consultant to Owner or Contractor or any Subcontractor to
Contractor on the Project shall have the same rights in any arbitration proceeding as are afforded by
arbitration rules to Contractor and Owner. If more than one demand for arbitration is made by a Party
with respect to the Project, all such Claims shall be consolidated into a single arbitration unless the
Parties otherwise agree in writing.
C. Nothing in this article shall be interpreted as waiving any rights Contractor has under state Law
for enforcement of lien rights or as waiving any right of Owner secured by a Payment or Performance
Bond.
XXXI. Insurance
A. General Requirements
1. Contractor shall carry workers' compensation insurance and public liability insurance as required
by Law and regulation for the protection of Contractor and Owner during progress of the Work.
XXXII. Subcontracted Work
A. Contractor shall notify Owner of each principal Subcontractor and vendor Contractor proposes to
retain for Work on the Project and the Scope of their Work. Contractor shall not contract with any
Subcontractor or vendor to whom Owner makes a reasonable and timely objection. Contractor shall not
change a previously selected Subcontractor or vendor without notifying Owner of the proposed change.
Contractor shall bear any additional cost incurred due to voluntary substitution of Subcontractors or
vendors.
B. Contractor shall not assign or Subcontract any portion of the Work to be done under this contract
without prior consent of Owner and until Owner has reviewed and approved the proposed Subcontract
agreement. Consent of Owner shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. Each
assignment or Subcontract shall be in writing, shall identify Owner as the intended third party
beneficiary of the Subcontract, and obligate the Subcontractor to comply with the terms and conditions
of this contract.
C. Contractor agrees that contracts with Subcontractors and vendors for the Project will impose the
same duties and obligations on those Subcontractors and vendors for their portions of the Work as
Contractor has under the provisions of the Contract Documents. Contractor warrants and guarantees that
each Subcontract with a Subcontractor or vendor for the Project will extend to Contractor all rights and

Page 10
remedies provided to Owner under this agreement.
D. Anything in this contract or the Contract Documents notwithstanding, there is no contractual
relationship between any Subcontractor or vendor to Contractor and Owner. Contractor warrants and
guarantees that each agreement with a Subcontractor or vendor on the Project will include the following
language: Except as provided by Law or regulation, Owner has no obligation to respond to Claims of
any Subcontractor or vendor on the Project or to resolve disputes between or among Contractor,
Subcontractors, and vendors on the Project. All communications between a Subcontractor or vendor on
