ARTICLE 18 SUBSTANTIAL AND FINAL COMPLETION 18.1 Substantial Completion of the Project shall be defined to have occurred when a Certificate of Substantial Completion has been issued by the Architect, and the required documentation has been produced. 30 of 74 18.2 When the Construction Manager believes that the Project is substantially complete, the Construction Manager shall notify the Architect that the Project is ready for a Substantial Completion Inspection. 18.3 Prior to the Substantial Completion Inspection, the Construction Manager shall prepare and furnish to the Architect a letter requesting a Substantial Completion Inspection, which at a minimum must: 18.3.1 Provide a blank line for entry of the date of Substantial Completion. The date of Substantial Completion will fix the commencement date of warranties and guaranties and allocate between the Owner and the Construction Manager responsibility for security, utilities, damage to the work and insurance; 18.3.2 Include a list of items to be completed or corrected and state the time within which the listed items will be completed or corrected, along with the cost to complete each item; 18.3.3 Provide signature lines for the Owner, the Construction Manager and the Architect. 18.4 Upon receipt of notification from the Construction Manager, the Architect will coordinate with the Owner's Representative, their Consultants, and the Construction Manager on a date for inspection of the Project to determine whether the Project is substantially complete. 18.5 During the inspection to determine whether the Project is substantially complete, the Architect will: 18.5.1 Inspect the Project; 18.5.2 Provide a list of items to be completed or corrected; 18.5.3 Determine, in consultation with the Owner's Representative, whether Substantial Completion of the Project has occurred. 18.6 If the Project is determined not to be substantially complete, the Construction Manager shall continue working until the Project is substantially complete and the inspection process shall be repeated at no additional cost to the Owner until the Project is determined to be substantially complete. 18.7 On or prior to the required date of Substantial Completion, the Construction Manager shall deliver to the Architect keys, permits, the certificate of occupancy, and other necessary and customary documents and items required for the Owner's occupancy and use of the Project for its intended purpose. The Architect will obtain and review Substantial Completion documentation and items, and will inform the Construction Manager of any deficiencies. 18.8 When the Owner, the Construction Manager and the Architect agree that the Project is substantially complete, and the Construction Manager has produced the required Substantial Completion documentation, they shall sign the Certificate of Substantial Completion stating that the Project is substantially 31 of 74 complete and establishing the actual date of Substantial Completion. The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall also include a list of and timeline for the completion of the items needing completion and correction. 18.9 Final Completion of the Project shall be deemed to have occurred when the Project passes a Final Completion Inspection, and when the Construction Manager has produced all required close-out documentation and items. Final Completion shall not be deemed to have occurred and no final payment shall be due the Construction Manager or any of its subcontractors or suppliers until the Project has passed the Final Completion Inspection and all required Final Completion close-out documentation and items have been submitted to the Architect by the Construction Manager. 18.10 When the Construction Manager believes that the Project is finally complete, the Construction Manager shall notify the Architect that the Project is ready for a Final Completion Inspection. 18.11 Upon receipt of such notification from the Construction Manager, the Architect will coordinate with the Owner's Representative and the Construction Manager and schedule a date for inspection of the Project to determine whether the Project is finally complete. 18.12 At the Final Completion Inspection to determine whether the Project is finally complete, the Architect will: 18.12.1 Inspect the Project; 18.12.2 Determine whether all items on the list included with the Certificate of Substantial Completion have been satisfactorily completed and corrected; 18.12.3 Determine whether the completed Project complies with this Contract for General Construction Management Services; and all applicable laws, statutes, building codes, rules or regulations of all governmental, public authorities and agencies having jurisdiction over the Project. 18.12.4 The Architect shall determine whether the required inspections and approvals by the local building officials having jurisdiction over the Project have been satisfactorily completed; and determine, in consultation with the Owner's Representative, whether the Project is finally complete. 18.13 If the Project is not finally complete, the Construction Manager shall continue to work to complete the Project, and the inspection process shall be repeated at no additional cost to the Owner, until the Project is finally complete. 18.14 On or prior to the date of Final Completion, the Construction Manager shall deliver to the Architect the following Final Completion close-out documentation and items: 18.14.1 All operating, maintenance, and instruction manuals not previously produced during Substantial Completion and required maintenance stocks; 32 of 74 18.14.2 Two (2) sets of as-built drawings and markups; 18.14.3 Certification and affidavit that all insurance required of the Construction Manager beyond final payment, if any, is in effect and will not be canceled or allowed to expire without notice to the Owner; 18.14.4 Written consent of the surety to release final payment; 18.14.5 Full, final and unconditional waivers of inechanics or construction liens, releases of Construction Manager's trust fund or similar claims, and release of security interests or encumbrances on the Project property from each contractor, subcontractor, supplier or other person or entity who has, or might have a claim against the Owner or the Owner's property; 18.14.6 Full, final and unconditional certification and affidavit that all of the Construction Manager's obligations to contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and other third parties for payment for labor, materials or equipment related to the Project have been paid or otherwise satisfied; 18.14.7 All written warranties and guarantees relating to the labor, goods, products, materials, equipment and systems incorporated into the Project, endorsed, countersigned, and assigned as necessary; 18.14.8 All affidavits, releases, bonds, waivers, permits and other documents necessary for final close-out of Project; 18.14.9 A list of any items due but unable to be delivered and the reason for non- delivery; 18.14.10 Any other documents reasonably and customarily required or expressly required herein for full and final close-out of the Project. 18.15 The Architect will review and determine the sufficiency of all Final Completion close-out documentation and items required for Final Completion which are submitted by the Construction Manager, and will immediately inform the Construction Manager about any deficiencies and omissions. ARTICLE 19 CONSTRUCTION MANAGER'S WARRANTIES AND GUARANTEES 19.1 In addition to the warranties and guarantees set forth elsewhere in this Contract for General Construction Management Services, the Construction Manager, upon request by the Owner or the Architect, shall promptly correct all failures or defects in the Project for a period of one (1) year after the actual date of Substantial Completion. 19.1.1 The Construction Manager shall schedule, coordinate and participate in a walk- through inspection of the Project one month prior to the expiration of the one- year warranty period, and shall notify the Owner's Representative, the Architect, and any required subcontractors and suppliers of the date of, and request their participation in, the walk-through inspection. The purpose of the 33 of 74 walk-through inspection will be to determine if there are any defects or failures which require correction. 19.1.2 Should the Construction Manager fail to promptly correct any failure or defect, the Owner may take whatever actions it deems necessary to remedy the failure or defect and the Construction Manager shall promptly reimburse the Owner for any expenses or damages it incurs as a result of the Construction Manager 's failure to correct the failure or defect. 19.2 In addition to the warranties and guarantees set forth elsewhere herein, the Construction Manager expressly warrants and guarantees to the Owner: 19.2.1 That the work complies with the Contract Documents; and all applicable laws, statutes, building codes, rules and regulations of all governmental, public authorities and agencies having jurisdiction over the Project. 19.2.2 That all goods, products, materials, equipment and systems incorporated into the Project conform to applicable specifications, descriptions, instructions, drawings, data and samples and shall be and are new (unless otherwise specified or permitted) and without apparent damage or defect; of quality equal to or higher than that required by the Contract Documents; 19.2.3 That all management, supervision, labor and services required for the Project shall comply with this Contract for General Construction Management Services and shall be and are performed in a good workmanlike manner. 19.3 The Construction Manager shall require that all of its subcontractors and suppliers provide written warranties, and guarantees to the Owner and the Construction Manager, in a form identical to the warranties, and guarantees required in the Contract for General Construction Management Services, including the warranties, and guarantees required in this Article. Standard warranties and guarantees provided by the material or product manufacturer will be acceptable provided that they comply with the requirements in Article 19. 19.4 The warranties and guarantees required in this Article shall be in addition to all other warranties, express, implied or statutory, and shall survive the Owner's payment, acceptance, inspection of or failure to inspect the Project, and review of the Contract Documents. 19.5 Nothing contained in Article 19.1, shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to the Construction Manager's obligations under this Contract for General Construction Management Services. Paragraph 19.1 relates only to the Construction Manager's specific obligations with respect to the Project, and has no retationship to the time within which the Construction Manager's contractual obligations under this Contract for General Construction Management Services may be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish the Construction Manager's liability with respect to any contractual obligations pursuant to Article 19.1or contained elsewhere herein. 34 of 74 19.6 Uniess otherwise specified, all of the Construction Manager's warranty and guaranty obligations, including the time periods for all written warranties and guarantees of specifically designated equipment required by the Construction Documents, shall begin on the actual date of Substantial Completion. ARTICLE 20 OWNER'S DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES 20.1 The Owner shall timely compensate the Construction Manager in accordance with this Contract for General Construction Management Services. 20.2 Unless otherwise required to be provided by the Construction Manager in its scope of services, the Owner shall secure and pay for all Project testing. 20.3 The Owner shall review documents prepared by the Construction Manager in a timely manner and in accordance with schedule requirements. Review by the Owner shall be solely for the purpose of determining whether such documents are generally consistent with the Owner's intent. No review of such documents shall relieve the Construction Manager of any of its responsibilities. 20.4 The Owner shall not have control or charge of construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the Project, nor shall the Construction Manager, for any of the foregoing purposes, be deemed the agent of the Owner. 20.5 The Owner, upon reasonable written request, shall furnish to the Construction Manager in writing statements of the record legal title to the Site on which the Project is located and the Owner's interest therein at the time of execution of this Contract for General Construction Management Services; and the Owner's financial capacity to pay for the Project, subject to such reasonable confidentiality requirements that the Owner may impose. 20.6 If required for the Project, the Owner shall furnish a certified land survey of the site, giving as applicable, grades and lines of streets, alleys, pavements and adjoining property; rights-of-way, restrictions, easements, encroachments, zoning, deed restrictions, boundaries and contours of the site; locations, dimensions and data pertaining to existing buildings, other improvements and trees; and full information concerning available service and utility lines, both public and private, above and below grade, including inverts and depths. 20.7 The Owner shall pay for the services of a soils engineer or other consultants, when such services are deemed necessary by the Architect or Owner's Representative, to provide reports, test borings, test pits, soil bearing values, percolation tests, air and water pollution tests, ground corrosion and resistivity tests and other necessary operations for determining subsoil, air and water conditions, with appropriate Architect interpretations thereof. This does not relieve the Construction Manager of the responsibility for providing the testing required in the Contract Documents. 35 of 74 20.8 The Owner shall pay for structural, mechanical, chemical and other laboratory tests, inspections and reports as required by law that are not otherwise called for in this Agreement. 20.9 The Owner shall furnish such legal, accounting, and insurance counseling services as the Owner may deem necessary for the Project and such auditing services as may be required to asce�tain how, or for what purposes, the Construction Manager has used the moneys paid to it under the Construction Contract. 20.10 All services, information, surveys and reports required of the Owner shall be furnished at the Owner's expense and the Construction Manager shall be entitled to rely upon their accuracy and completeness. 20.11 The Owner shall furnish information and approvals required of it expeditiously, for orderly progress of the work. 20.12 If it is customary for the Construction Manager to obtain any permits and/or licenses, the Owner shall pay for and the Construction Manager shall request, expedite, and obtain all necessary permits, licenses, approvals, easements, assessments, and charges required for the construction, use or occupancy of permanent structures or for permanent changes in any existing facilities. If it is not customary for the Construction Manager to obtain any permits and/or licenses, then the Architect shall coordinate this on behalf of the Owner. 20.13 The Owner shall provide the Construction Manager with all written and tangible material in its possession concerning conditions below ground at the Site. 20.14 If the Project involves an existing structure, the Owner shall provide the Construction Manager with all available as-built drawings, record drawings, plans, specifications and structure system information with respect to such structure. 20.15 The Owner will provide the Construction Manager with the Provisional Project Schedule of pertinent Project dates and key milestone dates in Exhibit B. ARTICLE 21 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES 21.1 The parties hereto mutually understand and agree that time is of the essence in the perFormance of this Contract for General Construction Management Services, and that the Owner will incur damages if the Project is not completed on time. The Construction Manager shall at all times carry out its duties and responsibilities as expeditiously as possible and shall begin, perform and complete its services so that the Project progresses in accordance with the Construction Schedule; the Project is substantially completed by the required date of Substantial Completion; and the Project is finally complete by the date of Final Completion. 36 of 74 21.2 The parties hereto mutually understand and agree that the Owner will sustain substantial monetary and other damages in the event of a failure or delay by the Construction Manager in the completion of the Project. 21.2.1 If the Construction Manager inexcusably fails to achieve Substantial Completion by the required date of Substantial Completion as established and previously set forth in this Contract for General Construction Management Services, the Construction Manager shall pay to the Owner, as liquidated damages for delay and not as a penalty, the daily amount of $3,000.00 for each and every day after the required date of Substantial Completion until Substantial Completion. This liquidated damages provision shall apply and remain in full force and effect in the event that the Construction Manager is terminated by Owner for default and shall apply until Substantial Completion has been achieved by any completing Construction Manager. 21.2.2 If the Construction Manager fails to achieve Final Completion by the required date of Final Completion as established and previously set forth in this Contract for General Construction Management Services, the Construction Manager shall pay to the Owner, as liquidated damages for the delay and not as a penalty, fifteen (15%) percent of the daily amount stated above for failure to timely achieve Substantial Completion, even if not actually imposed, for each calendar day of unexcused delay in achieving Final Completion. 21.3 If the Construction Manager is delayed at any time in the progress or performance of the Project by acts or omissions of the Owner or Architect; major changes ordered by the Owner in the scope of Project; or any other cause which the Owner determines may justify the compensation of the Construction Manager for the delay, the Construction Manager's compensation shall be equitably adjusted to cover the Construction Manager's actual and direct increased costs attributable to such delay. 21.4 If the Construction Manager is delayed at any time in the progress or performance of the Project by acts or omissions of the Owner or Architect; major changes ordered by the Owner in the scope of Project; fire; unusual delays in transportation; adverse unusual weather conditions not reasonably anticipated by the Construction Manager; unavoidable casualties; causes beyond the Construction Manager's control which the Owner agrees in writing are justifiable; or any other cause which the Owner determines may justify the delay, the Construction Schedule shall be extended for a period equal to the length of such delay, but only if such delay is not in any way caused by default or collusion on the part of the Construction Manager or by any cause which the Construction Manager could reasonably control or circumvent; the Construction Manager would have otherwise been able to timely perform all of its obligations under this Contract for General Construction Management Services but for such delay; and immediately but not later than seven (7) calendar days after the beginning of any such delay the Construction Manager gives notice of its delay claim to the Owner. 21.5 When the Owner believes that the date of Substantial Completion will be inexcusably delayed; or that the Construction Manager will fail to achieve Final Completion by the date of Final Completion, the Owner shall be entitled, but 37 of 74 not required, to withhold from any amounts otherwise due the Construction Manager the daily amount specified for liquidated damages in this Article for each calendar day of the unexcused delay. 21.5.1 If and when the Construction Manager overcomes the delay in timely achieving Substantial Completion or Final Completion, or any part thereof, for which the Owner has withheld payment, the Owner shall promptly release to the Construction Manager those funds withheld, but no longer applicable, as liquidated damages. 21.5.2 Delay caused by labor disputes, picketing, employee boycotts, or the like which directly or indirectly involves employees of the Construction Manager or its subcontractors and suppliers is not the responsibility of the Owner and will result in time extensions only if agreed to in writing by the Owner at the time such events occur, and any such modifications to the schedule will be done at no additional expense to the Owner. ARTICLE 22 CONCEALED AND UNFORESEEN CONDITIONS 22.1 If the Construction Manager encounters concealed and unforeseen conditions of an unusual nature which affect the performance of the Project; or the conditions vary from those indicated by the Contract Documents; and such conditions are not ordinarily found to exist or differ materially from those generally recognized as inherent in Project of the character provided by the Construction Manager, the Construction Manager shall promptly, but in no event later than three (3) calendar days after first observance of the conditions, notify the Architect before conditions are disturbed and give the Architect the opportunity to observe the condition in its undisturbed state. 22.1.1 The conditions will be promptly investigated and, if they differ substantially and cause a material increase or decrease in the Construction Manager's cost of, or time required for, performance of the work, compensation or time for perFormance or both will be equitably adjusted. 22.1.2 All adjustments in compensation or extensions of time shall be by change order. Change order requests must be made within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of observation of the changed conditions. 22.2 The Construction Manager's failure to notify the Architect as provided in this Article shall constitute a waiver of any claim arising out of or relating to such concealed or unknown condition. 38 of 74 ARTICLE 23 CONSTRUCTION MANAGER'S RECORDS 23.1 The Construction Manager shall, concurrently with performance of its services, prepare substantiating records regarding services rendered and goods furnished. 23.2 The Construction Manager shall retain i� its records copies of all written communications; memoranda of verbal communications; accounting records (including original estimates and estimating sheets, purchase orders and invoices); job site notes; daily logs; reports; notices; all subcontract files (including proposals of successful and unsuccessful bidders); change order files (including documentation covering negotiated settlements); written policies and procedures, records necessary to evaluate and verify direct and indirect costs (including by way of example overhead allocations, payroll records, time sheets, rental receipts, fixed asset records); and other documents such as plans, specifications, submittals, correspondence, minutes, memoranda, tape recordings, videos, accounting records, documents reflecting the unit price of construction and other writings or things which document the work, its design, its cost, and its construction. 23.2.1 The Construction Manager shall maintain substantiating records for seven (7) years after the date of Final Completion or for any longer period of time as may be required by law or good construction practice. If the Construction Manager receives notification of a dispute or the commencement of litigation regarding the Project within this seven-year period, the Construction Manager shall continue to maintain all Project records until final resolution of the dispute or litigation. 23.2.2 The Construction Manager shall, upon seven (7) days request from the Owner, secure from its subcontractors and suppliers copies of the documents indicated in Article 23.2. 23.2.3 Upon the request of the Owner, the Construction Manager shall make its records available during normal business hours to the Owner, its authorized representative(s) or to any state, federal or other regulatory authority. Any such authority, the Owner and its authorized representative(s) shall be entitled to inspect, examine, review and copy the Construction Manager's records at the copying party's reasonable expense, within adequate Project space at the Construction Manager's facilities. Failure by the Construction Manager to supply substantiating records from itself and its subcontractors and suppliers upon the request of the Owner shall be reason to exclude the related costs from amounts which might otherwise be payable by the Owner pursuant to this Contract for General Construction Management Services. 39 of 74 ARTICLE 24 PROPRIETARY DOCUMENTS AND CONFIDENTIALITY 24.1 All information, documents, and electronic media furnished by the Owner to the Construction Manager belong to the Owner; are considered proprietary and confidential; are furnished solely for use on the Owner's Project; shall be kept confidential by the Construction Manager; and shall not be used by the Construction Manager on any other project or in connection with any other person or entity, unless disclosure or use thereof in connection with any matter other than services rendered to the Owner hereunder is specifically authorized in writing by the Owner in advance. The Owner hereby grants to the Construction Manager a limited license to use and reproduce applicable portions of the Contract Documents necessary for execution of the Project. All copies made under this license shall bear the statutory copyright notice, if any, shown on the documents. 24.2 All information, documents, and electronic media prepared by or on behalf of the Construction Manager for the Project are the sole property of the Owner free of any retention rights of the Construction Manager. The Construction Manager hereby grants to the Owner an unconditional right to use, for any purpose whatsoever, any information, documents or electronic media prepared by or on behalf of the Construction Manager for the Project, free of any copyright claims, trade secrets or other proprietary rights with respect to such documents. 24.3 The Construction Manager shall not disclose any information it receives from the Owner to any other person or entity except to the extent necessary to allow it to perform its duties under this Contract for General Construction Management Services. 24.4 Because it is difficult to separate proprietary and confidential information from that which is not, the Construction Manager shall instruct its employees and agents to regard all information which is not in the public domain as information which is proprietary and confidential. 24.5 Submission or distribution of documents to meet official regulatory requirements or for other required purposes in connection with the Project is not to be construed as publication in derogation of the Owner's common law copyrights or other reserved rights. ARTICLE 25 INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS 25.1 The Construction Manager shall provide the Insurance as described in Exhibit D. 40 of 74 ARTICLE 26 OWNER'S RIGHT TO STOP PROJECT 26.1 If the Construction Manager fails or refuses to perform or fails to correct defective work as required, or persistently fails to carry out the work in accordance with the Contract for General Construction Management Services, the Owner may, by written notice, order the Construction Manager to cease and desist in performing the work or any portion of the work until the cause for the order has been eliminated to the satisfaction of the Owner. Upon receipt of such instruction, the Construction Manager shall immediately cease and desist as instructed by the Owner and shall not proceed further until the cause for the Owner's order has been corrected, no longer exists, or the Owner instructs that the work may resume. 26.1.1 The Construction Manager shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the time for performance or the Contract Amount under this clause since such stoppages are considered to be the fault of the Construction Manager. 26.1.2 The right of the Owner to stop work shall not give rise to a duty on the part of the Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of the Construction Manager or others. 26.1.3 In the event the Owner issues instructions to cease and desist, and in the further event that the Construction Manager fails and refuses with seven (7) calendar days to provide adequate assurance to the Owner that the cause of such instructions will be eliminated or corrected, then the Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to carry out the work or any portion of the work with its own forces, or with the forces of another Construction Manager, and the Construction Manager shall be responsible for the cost of perForming such work by the Owner. 26.1.4 The rights set forth herein are in addition to, and without prejudice to, any other rights or remedies the Owner may have against the Construction Manager. ARTICLE 27 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF CONTRACT 27.1 The Owner may terminate this Contract for General Construction Management Services for cause if the Construction Manager materially breaches this Contract for General Construction Management Services by: 27.1.1 Refusing, failing or being unable to properly manage or perform work on the Project; 27.1.2 Refusing, failing or being unable to supply the Project with sufficient numbers of workers, properly skilled workers, proper materials, or maintain applicable schedules; 27.1.3 Refusing, failing or being unable to make prompt payment to subcontractors or suppliers; 41 of 74 27.1.4 Disregarding laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public authority having jurisdiction over the Project; 27.1.5 Refusing, failing or being unable to substantially perForm in accordance with the terms of the Contract for General Construction Management Services as determined by the Owner, or as otherwise defined elsewhere herein; 27.1.6 Refusing, failing or being unable to substantially perform in accordance with the terms of any other agreement between the Owner and Construction Manager. 27.2 Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in Paragraph 27.1, the Owner may give written notice to the Construction Manager setting forth the nature of the default and requesting cure within seven (7) calendar days from the date of the notice. At any time thereafter, if the Construction Manager fails to initiate the cure or if the Construction Manager fails to expeditiously continue such cure until complete, the Owner may give written notice to the Construction Manager of immediate termination, and the Owner, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies, may take any or all of the following actions: 27.2.1 Complete all or any part of the Project, including supplying workers, material and equipment which the Owner deems expedient to complete the Project; 27.2.2 Contract with others to complete all or any part of the Project, including supplying workers, material and equipment which the Owner deems expedient to complete the Project; 27.2.3 Take such other action as is necessary to correct such failure; 27.2.4 Take possession of all materials, tools, construction equipment and machinery on the Site owned or leased by the Construction Manager; 27.2.5 Directly pay the Construction Manager's subcontractors and suppliers compensation due to them from the Construction Manager; 27.2.6 Finish the Project by whatever method the Owner may deem expedient; 27.2.7 Require the Construction Manager to assign the Construction Manager's right, title and interest in any or all of Construction Manager's subcontracts or orders to the Owner. 27.3 If the Owner terminates the Contract for General Construction Management Services for cause, and the Owner takes possession of all materials, tools, construction equipment and machinery on the Site owned or leased by the Construction Manager, the Construction Manager's compensation shall be increased by fair payment, either by purchase or rental at the election of the Owner, for any materials, tools, construction equipment and machinery items retained, subject to the Owner's right to recover from the Construction Manager the Owner's damages resulting from the termination. 27.4 If the Owner terminates this Contract for General Construction Management Services for cause, and it is subsequently determined by a court of competent 42 of 74 jurisdiction that such termination was without cause, then in such event, said termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience as set forth in Paragraph 27.6. 27.5 The Construction Manager may terminate this Contract for General Construction Management Services for cause if the Owner materially breaches this Contract for General Construction Management Services by: 27.5.1 Refusing, failing or being unable to make prompt payment to the Construction Manager without just cause; 27.5.2 Disregarding laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public authority having jurisdiction over the Project; or refusing, failing or being unable to substantially perform in accordance with the terms of this Contract for General Construction Management Services or any other agreement between the Owner and the Construction Manager. 27.5.3 Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in Paragraph 27.5, the Construction Manager may give written notice to the Owner setting forth the nature of the default and requesting cure within seven (7) calendar days from the date of notice. If the Owner fails to cure the default within seven (7) calendar days, the Construction Manager, without prejudice to any rights or remedies, may give written notice to the Owner of immediate termination. 27.6 The Owner may at any time give written notice to the Construction Manager terminating this Contract for General Construction Management Services or suspending the Project, in whole or in part, for the Owner's convenience and without cause. If the Owner suspends the Project for convenience, the Construction Manager shall immediately reduce its staff, services and outstanding commitments in order to minimize the cost of suspension. 27.7 If this Contract For Construction is terminated by the Construction Manager pursuant to Paragraph 27.5; terminated by the Owner pursuant to Paragraph 27.6; or suspended more than three months by the Owner pursuant to Paragraph 27.6, the Owner shall pay the Construction Manager specified amounts due for work actually performed prior to the effective termination date and reasonable costs associated with termination. The Owner may agree to additional compensation, if any, due to the Construction Manager. Absent agreement on the additional amount due the Construction Manager, the Owner shall pay the Construction Manager: 27.7.1 Reasonable costs incurred in preparing to perform the terminated portion of the Project, and in terminating the Construction Manager's performance, plus a fair and reasonable allowance for overhead and profit thereon (such profit shall not include anticipated profit or consequential damages); provided, however, that if it appears that the Construction Manager would not have profited or would have sustained a loss if the Project had been completed, no profit shall be allowed or included, and the amount of compensation shall be reduced to reflect the anticipated rates of loss, if any; 43 of 74 27.7.2 Reasonable costs of settling and paying claims arising out of the termination of subcontracts or supplier orders. These costs shall not include amounts paid in accordance with other provisions hereof. 27.8 If this Contract for General Construction Management Services is terminated by the Owner for cause pursuant to Paragraph 27.1, no further payment shall be made to the Construction Manager until Final Completion of the Project. At such time, the Construction Manager shall be paid the remainder of the Contract Amount less all costs and damages incurred by the Owner as a result of the default of the Construction Manager, including liquidated damages applicable thereto. The Construction Manager shall additionally reimburse the Owner for any additional costs or expenses incurred. 27.9 Irrespective of the reason for termination or the party terminating, the total sum paid to the Construction Manager shall not exceed the Contract Amount, as properly adjusted, reduced by the amount of payments previously made and penalties or deductions incurred pursuant to any other provision of this Contract for General Construction Management Services, and shall in no event include duplication of payment. 27.10 Irrespective of the reason for termination or the party terminating, if this Contract for General Construction Management Services is terminated, the Construction Manager shall, unless notified otherwise by the Owner, 27.10.1 Immediately stop work; 27.10.2 Terminate outstanding orders and subcontracts; 27.10.3 Settle the liabilities and claims arising out of the termination of subcontracts and orders; 27.10.4 Transfer title and deliver to the Owner such completed or partially completed work, and, if paid for by the Owner, materials, equipment, parts, fixtures, information and such contract rights as the Construction Manager has. 27.11 The right to terminate or suspend the Project shall not give rise to a duty on the part of either the Owner or the Construction Manager to exercise that right for the benefit of the Owner, the Construction Manager or any other persons or entities. 27.12 If the Construction Manager fails to file a claim within one (1) year from the effective date of termination, the Owner shall pay the Construction Manager only for services actually performed and expenses actually incurred prior to the effective termination date.
