Texas Department of Transportation
Form TxDOT-CDA-U-35-DM-NTE
Page 8 of 22 Rev.4/10/10
estimates are hereby approved by the Owner. The estimated cost of the Design -
Build Contractor's work hereunder which is attributable to Betterment is $
calculated by subtracting (ii) from (i). The percentage of the total cost of the
Design -Build Contractor's work hereunder which is attributable to Betterment is
%, calculated by subtracting (ii) from (i), which remainder is divided by
(i).
(w) (c) If Paragraph 9(b) identifies Betterment, the Owner shall advance to the Design -
Build Contractor, at least fourteen (14) business days prior to the date scheduled for
commencement of construction for Adjustment of the Owner Utilities, the estimated cost
attributable to Betterment as set forth in Paragraph 9(b). Should the Owner fail to
advance payment to the Design -Build Contractor fourteen (14)'business days prior to
commencement of the Adjustment construction, the Design�iil'd Contractor shall have
the option of commencing and completing (without delay,)rtlte; Adjustment work without
installation of the applicable Betterment. [If Paragraph<'Q ih.) identifiest Betterment, check
the one appropriate provision]:
❑ The estimated cost stated in Paragraph 9(b) is the agreeji and final amount due
for Betterment hereunder, and accor4ingly no adjustmenf`(teither ttp or down) of
such amount shall be made based on aetnal- costs.
❑ The Owner is responsible for the Design-BiI1d Contractor's actual cost for the
identified Betterment. Adeordingly, Upon compliatior9.4 all Adjustment work to
be performed by both patties pursuant to this Agr ent, (i) the Owner shall pay
to the Design -Build, Contractor the,amount, if any, by which the actual cost of the
Betterment (determined as provided below in this paragraph) exceeds the
estimated cost advanced by the comer, or (ii) the Design -Build Contractor shall
refund to the Owner the°.arnount,\ifany, by which such advance exceeds such
actual cost, as applicable. Any additional payment by the Owner shall be due
within sixty(60) calendar days after the Owner's receipt of the Design -Build
Contractor's invoice therefor, together with supporting documentation; any
refund shall` be due within sixty (60) calendar days after completion of the
Adjustment work hereunder. The actual cost of Betterment incurred by the
Desigrr-Build Contractor shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the Betterment
percentage stated in Paragraph 9(b), by (ii) the actual cost of all work performed
by the Design -Mild Contractor pursuant to this Agreement (including work
attiibtable to the Betterment), as invoiced by the Design -Build Contractor to the
Ovitter.
(d). If Paragraph 9(b) identifies Betterment, the amount of Betterment in Owner's
indirect costs shall be determined by applying the percentage of the Betterment calculated
in Paragraph 9(b). The Owner's invoice to the Design -Build Contractor for the Design -
Build Contractor's share of the Owner's indirect costs shall credit the Design -Build
Contractor with any Betterment amount determined pursuant to this Paragraph 9(d).
(y) (e) For any Adjustment from which the Owner recovers any materials and/or parts
and retains or sells the same, after application of any applicable Betterment credit, the
Owner's invoice to the Design -Build Contractor for its costs shall credit the Design -Build
Contractor with the salvage value for such materials and/or parts, determined in
accordance with 23 C.F.R. Section 645.1050).
(z) (f) The determinations and calculations of Betterment described in this Paragraph 9
shall exclude right of way acquisition costs. Betterment in connection with right-of-way
