SUBJECT: (CD 6) Authorize Execution of a Construction Manager at Risk Contract with Steele &
Freeman, Inc. with a Construction Phase Fee of 3.0%; Accept the Guaranteed Maximum
Price of $9,613,329.00 for the Construction of a New Fire Station 26 within a Project
Budget of $12,389,032.00, Adopt Appropriation Ordinances and Amend the Fiscal Year
2024 Adopted Budget and Fiscal Years 2024 - 2028 Capital Improvement
Program (2018 Bond Program)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize execution of a Construction Manager at Risk contract with Steele & Freeman, Inc. with a
Construction Phase Fee of 3.0\% incorporated within Guaranteed Maximum Price not to
exceed $12,389,032.00 for construction of new Fire Station 26;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
General Fund for the Property Management Department in the amount of $7,048,032.00, from available
fund balance, for the purpose of transferring to the General Capital Projects Fund;
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
General Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $7,048,032.00, transferred from the General Fund, for the
purpose of funding the Fire Station 26 project (City Project No.101659); and
4. Amend the Fiscal Year 2024 Adopted Budget and Fiscal Years 2024 - 2028 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize execution of a Construction Manager
at Risk (CMAR) contract with Steele & Freeman, Inc. for construction services and to allocate and appropriate
additional funding for the new Fire Station 26.
Steele & Freeman, Inc. has performed preconstruction phase services for a fee of $7,500 (CSC 60459) and has
proposed to perform construction phase services for a fee of 3.0\%, which fee is incorporated into the project's
guaranteed maximum price (GMP) in the amount of $9,613,329.00. Staff finds the proposed fee fair and reasonable.
The GIMP includes the Base Proposal ($9,417,226.00), Owner's construction contingency allowance ($196,103.00)
and no alternatives. The total anticipated project cost is $12,389,032.00, which includes the CMAR's pre -
construction phase services, other design costs, Owner's project contingency, materials testing and special
inspections and land acquisition.
The 2018 Bond Program allocated $5,341,000.00 for the design and construction of the new Fire Station 26. This
project was delayed due to two changes in location due to unfavorable site conditions. On January 10,2023, M&C
23-0031 approved the purchase of 4915 South Drive West. Once the location was known the Property Management
Department moved forward with the single -story design proto-type for this site.
Design of the project was performed by RPGA Design Group, Inc. (CSC 59228, M&C 23-0164).
Construction documents were completed and submitted for advertisement in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on
August 17, and August 24, 2023. On September 7, 2023, the City received eight proposals from:
Byrne Construction Services
Crossland Construction company, Inc.
EMI Construction, LLC
McGough Construction, LLC
Muckleroy & Falls
Ridgemont
RJM Contractors Inc.
Steele & Freeman, Inc.

The proposals were evaluated by members of the selection team comprised of representatives of the Fire
Department, Property Management Department, and Office of Business Diversity. The selection team reviewed the
proposal against published criteria, including cost of services, references and CMAR experience, similar project
types and MBE commitment and plan. The top three firms were selected for interviews.
The following is the rankings resulting from this review process:

Year 2023 fund balance for future capital projects via Mayor and Council (M&C) 24-0001. This assigned amount is

E-4 MINORITY AND WOMEN -OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (MIWBE):
The City will consider the CMAR's performance on other City Projects regarding its M/WBE program in the evaluation of bids.
Failure to comply with the City's M/WBE program, or to demonstrate a "good faith effort", shall result in a bid being considered
irresponsible.
Upon request, CMAR must provide the City with complete and accurate information regarding actual work performed by a Minority
or Women -Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE) on the contract and proof of payment thereof. CMAR further agrees to permit an
audit and/or examination of any books, records or files in it's possession that will substantiate the actual work performed by an
M/WBE. The misrepresentation of acts (other than a negligent misrepresentation) and/or the commission of fraud by the CMAR will
be grounds for termination of the contract and/or initiating action under appropriate federal, state, or local laws or ordinances
relating to false statement. Further any such misrepresentation (other than a negligent misrepresentation) and/or commission of
fraud will result on the CMAR being determined to be irresponsible and barred from participating in City work for a period of time of
not less than three years.
CMAR shall provide copies of subcontracts or cosigned letters of intent with approved M/WBE subcontractors prior to execution of
the contract. CMAR shall also provide monthly reports on utilization of the subcontractors electronically in the Business Equity
Management System (B2GNow System).
The CMAR may count any tier subcontractors and/or suppliers toward meeting the goals. The CMAR may count toward its goal a
portion of the total dollar amount of the contract with a joint venture equal to the percentage of the M/WBE participation in the joint
venture for a clearly defined portion of the work to be performed. All subcontractors used in meeting the goals must be certified by
either the North Central Texas Regional Certification Agency, Dallas/Fort Worth Minority Business Development Council (DFW
MSDC), or Women's Business Council - Southwest (WBCS) prior to the award of the Contract.
Whenever a change order affects the work of an M/WBE subcontractor or supplier, the M/WBE shall be given an opportunity to
perform the work. Whenever a change order is in excess of 10% of the original contract, the Business Equity Project Coordinator
shall determine the goals applicable to the work to be performed under the change order.
During the term of the contract the CMAR shall:
1. Make no unjustified changes or deletions in its M/WBE participation commitments submitted with or subsequent to the bid,
and,
2. If substantial subcontracting and/or substantial supplier opportunities arise during the term of the contract which the CMAR
had represented he would perform with his forces, the CMAR shall notify the City before subcontracts or purchase orders are
let, and shall be required to comply with modifications to goals as determined by the City, and,
3. Submit a REQUEST FOR APPROVAL ELECTRONICALLY IN THE B2GNow SYSTEM, if the CMAR desires to change or
delete any of the M/WBE subcontractors or suppliers.
Justification for change may be granted for the following:
1. Failure of subcontractor to provide evidence of coverage by Workers' Compensation Insurance
2. Failure of subcontractor to provide required general liability or other insurance.
3. Failure of subcontractor to execute a standard subcontract form in the amount of the proposal used by the CMAR in preparing
their M/WBE Participation plan
4. Default by the M/WBE subcontractor or supplier in the performance of the subcontract
Other reasons at the discretion of the Business Equity Project Coordinator
Before final payment from the City, the CMAR shall provide the Department of Diversity & Inclusion Office with documentation to
reflect final participation of each M/WBE subcontractor and supplier used on the project. Upon verification by the Department of
Diversity & Inclusion Office that the CMAR has fulfilled its Business Equity goal commitment with bond fide M/WBEs performing
commercially useful functions, a recommendation will be made to the Director, Property Management Department that no reduction
in fee should be withheld from the final payment.
E-5 PAYMENTS TO SUBCONTRACTORS: The CMAR shall pay each Subcontractor, upon receipt of payment from the
Owner, an amount equal to the percentage of completion allowed to the CMAR on account of such Subcontractor's Work. The
CMAR shall also require each Subcontractor to make similar payments to his subcontractors.
If the Architect refuses to issue a Certificate for Payment for any cause which is the fault of the CMAR and not the fault of a
particular subcontractor, the CMAR shall pay that Subcontractor on demand, made at any time after the Certificate for Payment
would otherwise have been issued, for his Work to the extent completed, less the retained percentage.
The CMAR shall pay each Subcontractor a just share of any insurance monies received by the Contractor, and he shall require
each Subcontractor to make similar payments to his Subcontractors.
The Architect may, on request and at its discretion, furnish to any Subcontractor, if practicable, information regarding percentages
of completion certified to the CMAR on account of Work done by such Subcontractors.
Neither the Owner nor the Architect shall have any obligation to pay or to see to the payment of any monies to any Subcontractor.
SECTION F
SEPARATE CONTRACTS

shall inspect and promptly report to the Architect any apparent discrepancies or defects in such work that render it unsuitable for
such proper execution and results. Failure of the CMAR to inspect and report shall constitute an acceptance of the other
contractor's work as fit and proper to receive his Work, except as to defects which may develop in the other separate contractor's
work after the execution of the Contractor's Work.
Should the CMAR cause damage to the work or property of any separate contractor on the site, the CMAR shall, upon due notice,
settle with such other contractor by agreement, if he will so settle. If such separate contractor sues the Owner on account of any
damage alleged to have been so sustained, the Owner shall notify the CMAR who shall defend against such suit at the Contractor's
expense, and if any judgment against the Owner arises therefrom, the CMAR shall pay or satisfy such judgment and shall
reimburse the Owner for all attorney's fees, court costs and expenses which the Owner has incurred in connection with such suit.
F-3 CUTTING AND PATCHING UNDER SEPARATE CONTRACTS: The CMAR shall do all cutting, fitting or patching of his
Work that may be required to fit it to receive or be received by the work of other contractors shown in the Contract Documents. The
CMAR shall not endanger any work or any other contractors by cutting, excavating or otherwise altering any work and shall not cut
or alter the work of any other contractor except with the written consent of the Architect.
Any costs caused by defective or ill-timed work shall be borne by the party responsible therefore.
F-4 OWNER'S RIGHT TO CLEAN UP: If a dispute arises between the separate contractors as to their responsibility for
cleaning up, the Owner may clean up and charge the cost thereof to the several contractors as the Director of the Department of
Transportation and Public Works shall determine to be just.

contract time shall be in accordance with this Section. Extensions of time will be as recommended by the Architect with final
approval by City of Fort Worth.
A working day is defined as a calendar day, not including Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, in which weather or other
conditions not under the control of the Contractor permit the performance of work for a continuous period of not less than seven
hours between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. However, nothing in these Contract Documents shall be construed as prohibiting the
Contractor from working on Saturdays if he so desires. Should the Contractor choose to work on Saturdays, one day will be
charged as contract -working time when weather or other conditions permit seven hours of work as delineated above. Legal holidays
are defined as being New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. If Juneteenth, Independence Day, Christmas Day or New
Year's Day falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday is a legal holiday. If Juneteenth, Independence Day, Christmas Day or New
Year's Day falls on a Sunday, the following Monday will be a legal holiday.
H-2 PROGRESS AND COMPLETION: All the time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of essence to the Contract.
CMAR shall begin the Work on the date of commencement as defined in this Section and carry the Work forward expeditiously with
adequate forces and shall complete it within the Contact Time.
H-3 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME: If the CMAR is delayed at any time in the progress of the Work by any act or
neglect of the Owner or the Architect, or by any employee of the Owner, or by any separate contractor employed by the Owner, or
by changes ordered in the Work, or by labor disputes, fire, unusual delay in transportation, unavoidable casualties or any causes
beyond the CMAR's control, or by any cause which the Architect determines may justify the delay, then the contract time may be
extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as recommended by the Architect and approved by the Owner. When the
CMAR is delayed due to abnormal weather conditions, the Fort Worth Weather Table provided in these Contract Documents shall
be used as the basis for providing a fair and equitable adjustment of the contract time.
All claims for extension of time shall be made in writing to the Architect no more than fifteen days after the occurrence of the delay;
otherwise they shall be waived.
If no schedule or agreement is made stating the dates upon which written interpretations shall be furnished, then no claim for delay
shall be allowed on account of failure to furnish such interpretation until fifteen days after demand is made for them, and not then
unless such a claim is reasonable.
H-4 WEATHER: The Fort Worth Weather Table is to be used as a basis for calculation of excess rain or weather days for
projects with duration in calendar days. If the site records indicate that the Contractor was unable to carry out operations due to
weather, it is counted as a weather day. If the number of weather days exceeds the number of average rain days plus the
snow/ice-pellet days for the contract duration, the contract period will be adjusted by Change Order.
H-5 NO DAMAGE FOR DELAY: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the CMAR shall never be entitled
to any compensation or damages for delay of any nature. In that regard, the CMAR shall receive no compensation for delays or
hindrances to the work, as a result of price escalation in the marketplace, labor, material shortages or to increases in the GMP.
When such extra compensation is claimed a written statement thereof shall be presented by the CMAR to the Architect and if found
to be correct shall be approved and referred by him to the Council for final approval or disapproval; and the action thereon by the
Council shall be final and binding. If delay is caused by specific orders given by the Architect or Owner to stop work, or by the
performance of extra work, or by the failure of the Owner to provide material or necessary instructions for carrying on the work, then
such delay will entitle the CMAR to an equivalent extension of time, his application for which shall, however, be subject to the
approval of the Owner and no such extension of time shall release the CMAR or the surety on its performance bond from all his
obligations here under which shall remain in full force until the discharge of the contract.
SECTION I
PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION
1-1 GRANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE AND CMAR FEE: The Guaranteed Maximum Price ("GMP") as stated in the Contract
Documents is the maximum amount potentially payable by the Owner to the CMAR for the construction of the Work. The
Contractor will be reimbursed for the actual cost for the construction including burdens up to the amount of the GMP and approved
fees.
1-2 SCHEDULE OF VALUES: Before the first Applicable for Payment for construction, the CMAR shall submit to the
Architect a Schedule of Values of the various portions of the Work, including quantities if required by the Architect, aggregating the
total expected construction cost or current GMP whichever is less, divided so as to facilitate payments to Subcontractors, prepared
in such form as specified or as the Architect and the CMAR may agree upon, and supported by such data to substantiate its
correctness as the Architect may require. Each item in the Schedule of Values shall include its proper share of overhead and profit.
This Schedule, when approved by the Architect and the Owner, shall be used as a basis for the CMAR's Applications for Payment.
1-3 PROGRESS PAYMENTS: On the first day of each month after the first month's work has been completed, the CMAR
will make current estimates in writing for review by the Architect of materials in place complete and the amount of work performed
during the preceding month or period and the value thereof at the prices contracted for as shown on the approved Schedule of
Values and Progress Schedule.
If payments are to be made on account of materials or equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at
the site or in an independent, bonded warehouse, such payments shall be conditioned upon submission by the CMAR of bills of
sale or such other procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the Owner's title to such materials or equipment or otherwise
protect the Owner's interest including applicable insurance and transportation to the site.
CMAR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment covered by an Application for Payment, whether
incorporated into the Project or not, will pass to the Owner upon the receipt of such payment by the CMAR, free and clear of all
liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances hereinafter referred to as "liens"; and that no Work, materials or equipment
covered by an Application for Payment will have been acquired by the CMAR, or by any other persons performing the Work at the
site or furnishing materials and equipment for the Work, subject to an agreement under which an interest therein or an
encumbrance thereon is retained by the seller or otherwise imposed by the CMAR or such other person. CMAR shall provide
access to the red -lined drawings for that period and for approval by Owner.
CMAR shall prepare each application for payment on AIA Document G702, "Application and Certificate for Payment", and attached
thereto AIA Document G703, "Continuation Sheet", to indicate the progress made to date and the period or month for which
payment is requested for each Item listed in the Schedule of Values. A copy of the revised monthly work progress schedule must
be attached before the pay request can be accepted.
1-4 CERTIFICATES FOR PAYMENT: If the CMAR has made Application for Payment, the Architect will, with reasonable
promptness but not more than seven days after the receipt of the Application, prepare a Certificate of Payment, with a copy to the
CMAR, for such amount determined to be properly due, or state in writing reasons for withholding a Certificate.
The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a representation by the Architect to the Owner, based on the Architect's
observations at the site and the data comprising the Application for Payment, that the Work has progressed to the point indicated;
that the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning
whole upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests required by the Contract Documents, to minor deviations
from the Contract Documents correctable prior to completion, and to any specific qualifications stated in the Certificate); and
recommendations to the Owner that the CMAR be paid in the amount certified. In addition, the Architect's approval of final payment
assures the Owner that the conditions precedent to the CMAR being entitled to final payment as set forth in this Section have been
fulfilled.
After the Architect has issued a Certificate for Payment, the Owner shall approve or disapprove it within ten days after it has been
delivered to the Director of the Property Management Department. For contracts less than $400,000, Owner shall pay 90% of the
approved estimate to the Contractor within seven days after its approval, and the remaining 10% of each such estimate will be
retained by the Owner until Substantial Completion. For contracts in excess of $400,000, the Owner will retain only 5% of each
estimate until Substantial Completion.
No Certificate for Payment, nor any progress payment, nor any partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner, shall
constitute an acceptance of any Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents, or relieve the Contractor of liability and
responsibility in respect to any warranties or responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship. CMAR shall promptly remedy any
defects in the Work and pay for any damage to other work resulting there from that shall appear within a period of one year from
the date of final acceptance of the Work unless a longer period is specified.
1-5 PAYMENTS WITHHELD: The Architect may decline to approve an Application for Payment and may withhold his
Certificate in whole or in part if in his opinion he is unable to make the representations to the Owner as provided in this Section. The
Architect may also decline to approve any Applications for Payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or
subsequent inspections, may nullify the whole or any part of any Certificate for Payment previously issued to such extent as may be
necessary in his opinion to protect the Owner from loss because of:
1) Defective work not remedied;
2) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims;
3) Failure of the CMAR to make payments properly to Subcontractors, or for labor, materials or equipment;
4) Reasonable doubt that the Work can be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum;
5) Damage to another contractor;
6) Reasonable indication that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time; or
7) Unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work by the CMAR.
When such grounds for the refusal of payment are removed, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of them,
without payment of interest. The Owner reserves the right to withhold the payment of any monthly estimate, without payment of
interest, if the CMAR fails to perform the Work in accordance with the specifications or instructions of the Architect.

1-7 FAILURE OF PAYMENT: If, without fault on the part of the CMAR, the Architect should fail to issue any Certificate for
Payment within seven days after receipt of the CMAR's Application for Payment, if the CMAR's Application for Payment, or if,
without fault on the part of the CMAR, the Owner should fail to approve such estimate or to pay to the CMAR 90% or 95% (as
applicable) of the amount thereof within the period of time specified, then the CMAR may, upon seven (7) days additional written
notice to the Owner and to the Architect, stop the Work until payment of the amount owing has been received.
1-8 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT: Prior to the request for final payment, the CMAR must meet all
provisions for Project Closeout.
When the CMAR determines that the Work is substantially complete, the City shall inspect the project with the CMAR and the
contractor will prepare a "Preliminary Punch List". The Contractor will provide an updated punch list weekly, to be sent to the
Owner. The punch list will include the Contractor's initials by each item that is closed. This process will continue at all subsequent
OAC meetings until 100% completion of the punch list items are confirmed by the A/E and Contractor in writing, along with the
project specific Attic Stock List. Final PMD's Construction Inspector's written confirmation is mandatory.
When the CMAR determines that the Work is substantially complete, the City shall inspect the project with the CMAR and the
contractor will prepare a "Preliminary Punch List".
When the Architect, on the basis of a subsequent inspection, determines that the Work is substantially complete, he then will
prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion (G704) which, when approved by the Owner, shall allow the CMAR to request a
Certificate of Occupancy which will establish the Date of Substantial Completion. The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall
state the responsibilities of the Owner and the CMAR for maintenance, heat, utilities, and insurance, shall set forth the remaining
work as a "final punch list". The CMAR shall complete the remaining work listed therein within 30 calendar days. When the
Certificate of Occupancy has been issued, the retainage may be reduced to 4%.
Upon completion of the work listed on the final punch list to the satisfaction of the City of Fort Worth, the retainage may be reduced
to 2.5%.
Should the CMAR fail to complete all contractual requirements of the contract, including submittals and final pay request within the
fixed time, the contract time will again commence. Should the CMAR fail to complete the work within the contract duration,
liquidated damages will be assessed
Upon receipt of written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection, the City will conduct a joint inspection and certify
completion of the final punch list by cosigning it with the CMAR.
The CMAR shall submit the following items to the City prior to requesting final payment:
1) CMARs Affidavit of Payment of Debts and Claims (G706) stating that all payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and

5) CMAR's Warranty
6) Statement that all outstanding work has been completed
7) Issuance of the Final Certificate of Substantial Completion
8) Final acceptance by the City of Fort Worth.
If any Subcontractor, materialman or laborer refuses to furnish a Contractor's Affidavit of Release of Liens, the CMAR may, at the
election of the Owner, furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify him against any right, claim or lien which might be
asserted by such Subcontractor, materialman or laborer. If any such right, claim or lien remains unsatisfied after all payments are
made. The CMAR shall refund to the Owner all monies that the latter may be compelled to pay to discharging such right, claim or
lien, including all costs and reasonable attorney's fees.
The CMAR may then request final payment. The acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the CMAR
except those previously made in writing and still unsettled.
The CMAR's one-year warranty will commence upon final acceptance of the Project by the City of Fort Worth
The designated representative of the City of Fort Worth will make final acceptance and no other form of acceptance will be binding
upon the Owner.

scope of the Contract consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, the GMP and the Contract Time being adjusted
accordingly. All Such Changes in the Work shall be authorized by a written Change Order, and shall be executed under the
applicable conditions of the Contract Documents.
A Change Order is a written order to the CMAR signed by the Owner and the Architect, issued after the execution of the Contract,
authorizing a Change in the Work or adjustment in the GMP or the Contract Time. The GMP and the Contract Time may be
changed only by Change Order.
Any changes in work required due to changed or unforeseen conditions, or by request of either the Contractor or the City, shall be
coordinated with the Director, Department of Transportation and Public Works. A change order must be written and duly negotiated
and executed prior to performing changed work.
The cost or credit to the Owner resulting from a Change Order shall be the actual cost to be incurred or deducted as the case might
be multiplied by the allowance for contractual overhead and profit
If after the contract has been executed, the Architect, requests a price proposal from the CMAR for a proposed change in scope of
the work, Contractor shall process such proposal within seven days of receipt and return the price quote to the Architect in writing.
CMAR is advised that when the cumulative effect of Change Orders results in an increase in GMP by over $25,000, the City
Council must approve all such Change Orders that will exceed this limit. Normal processing time for the City Staff to obtain City
Council approval, once the recommended change order has been received at the City, is approximately thirty (30) days. Owner,
Architect and CMAR shall endeavor to identify Change Order items as early in the Construction process as possible to minimize
their impact on the construction schedule.
If the CMAR claims that additional cost or time is involved because of (1) any written interpretation issued pursuant to Section A,
(2) any order by the Architect or Owner to stop the Work pursuant to Section B, where the Contract was not at fault, or (3) any
written order for a minor change in the Work, the Contractor shall make such claim.
L-2 CLAIMS FOR ADDITIONAL COST OR TIME: If the CMAR wishes to make a claim for an increase in the GMP or an
extension in the Contract Time, he shall give the Architect written notice thereof within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the
event that gave rise to such claim. This notice shall be given by the CMAR before proceeding to execute the Work. No such claim
shall be valid unless so made. Any change in the GMP or Contract Time resulting from such claim, if approved by the Owner, shall
be authorized by Change Order.
L-3 OVERHEAD ALLOWANCES FOR CHANGES: Should any change in the work or extra work be ordered, the following
applicable percentage shall be added to Material and Labor costs to cover overhead and profit:
1. Allowance to the Contractor for overhead and profit for extra work performed by the Contractor's own forces shall not exceed
fifteen percent
2. Allowance to the Contractor for overhead and profit for extra work performed by a Subcontractor and supervised by the
Contractor shall not exceed ten percent 1( 0%).
L-4 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK: The Architect shall have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving
an adjustment in the GMP or an extension of the Contact Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents.
Such changes may be affected by Field Order or by other written order. Such changes shall be confirmed in writing by the Architect
and shall be binding on the Owner and the CMAR.
L-5 FIELD ORDERS: The Architect may issue written Field Orders which interpret the Contract Documents, or which order
minor changes in the Work without change in GMP or Contract Time. The CMAR shall carry out such Field Orders promptly.
SECTION M
UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK
M-1 UNCOVERING OF WORK: If any Work should be covered contrary to the request of the Owner or Architect, it must be
uncovered for observation and replaced, at the CMAR's expense.
If any other work has been covered which the Owner or Architect have not specifically requested to observe prior to being covered,
the Architect or the Owner may request to see such work and it shall be uncovered by the Contractor. If such Work is found to be in
accordance with the Plans and Specifications, the cost of uncovering and replacement shall, by appropriate Change Order, be
charged to the Owner. If such work is found not to be in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, the CMAR shall pay such
costs unless it be found that this condition was caused by a separate contractor employed by the Owner.
M-2 CORRECTION OF WORK: The CMAR shall promptly correct all work rejected by the Owner or Architect as defective or
as failing to conform to the Plans and Specifications whether observed before or after Substantial Completion and whether or not
fabricated, installed or completed. The CMAR shall bear all costs of correcting such rejected Work, including the cost of the
Architect's additional service thereby made necessary.
If, within one year after the Date of Substantial Completion or within such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by
the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract Documents, any of the work is found to be defective or not
in accordance with the Contract Documents, the CMAR shall correct it promptly after receipt of a written notice from the Owner to
do so, unless the Owner has previously given the Contractor a written acceptance of such condition, describing same specifically
and not generally. The Owner shall give such notice promptly after discovery of the condition.
All such defective or non -conforming work under the preceding paragraphs shall be removed from the site where necessary, and
the work shall be corrected to comply with the Contract Documents without cost to the Owner.
The CMAR shall bear the cost of making good all work of separate contractors destroyed or damaged by such removal or
correction.
If the CMAR does not remove such defective or non -conforming work within a reasonable time fixed by written notice from the
Architect or the Owner, the Owner may remove it and may store the materials or equipment at the expense of the CMAR. If the
CMA does not pay the cost of such removal and storage within ten days thereafter, the Owner may upon ten additional days'
written notice sell such work at auction or at private sale and shall account for the net proceeds thereof, after deducting all the costs
that should have been borne by the CMAR including compensation for additional architectural services. If such proceeds of sale do
not cover all costs that the CMAR should have borne, the difference shall be charged to the CMAR and an appropriate Change
Order shall be issued. If the payments then or thereafter due the CMAR are not sufficient to cover such amount, the CMAR shall
pay the difference to the Owner.
If the CMAR fails to correct such defective or non -conforming work, the Owner may correct it in accordance with Section G.
The obligation of the CMAR under this Section shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any obligations imposed upon him by
special guarantees required by the Contract Documents or otherwise prescribed by law.
M-3 ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE OR NON -CONFORMING WORK: If the Owner prefers to accept defective or non-
conforming work, he may do so instead of requiring its removal and correction, in which case an extended warranty or Change
Order will be issued to reflect an appropriate reduction in the final payment to the CMAR or if the amount is determined after final
payment, the CMAR shall pay Owner the amount of the appropriate reduction.
SECTION N
TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT
N-1 TERMINATION BY THE CMAR: If the work is stopped for a period of 30 days under an order or any court or other public
authority having jurisdiction, through no act or fault of the CMAR or a Subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other
persons performing any of the work under a contract with the CMAR, or if the work should be stopped for a period of 30 days by the
CMAR for the Owner's failure to make payment thereon as provided in Section I, then the CMAR may after the end of such period
of 30 days and upon seven additional days' written notice to the Owner and the Architect, terminate the Contract.
N-2 TERMINATION BY THE OWNER: If the CMAR is adjudged as bankrupt, or if he makes a general assignment for the
benefit of his creditors, or if a receiver is appointed on account of his insolvency, of if the CMAR refuses, except in cases for which
extension of time is provided, to supply enough properly skilled workmen or proper materials, or if he fails to make prompt payment
to Subcontractors or for materials or labor, or fails to comply with all Laws, Statutes, Charter, Ordinances, Regulations or Orders of
any public authority having jurisdiction, or otherwise is guilty of a substantial violation of a provision of the Contract Documents,
then the Owner, on its own initiative or upon certification by the Architect that sufficient cause exists to justify such action, may,
without prejudice to any rights or remedy and after giving the CMAR and his surety, if any, seven (7) days' written notice, terminate
the contract and take possession of the site and of all materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery thereon
owned by the CMAR and may finish the work by whatever method he may deem expedient. In such case the CMAR shall not be
entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished.
If the costs of finishing the Work, including compensation for the Architect's additional services, exceed the unpaid balance of the
Contract, the CMAR shall pay the difference to the Owner.
Owner may terminate this contract in whole, or from time to time, in part, whenever such termination is in the best interest of the
City. Termination will be affected by delivering to the CMAR a notice of termination specifying to what extent performance of the
work of the contract is being terminated and the effective date of termination. After receipt of termination the CMAR shall:
a) Stop work under the Contract on the date and to the extent specified on the notice of termination.
b) Place no further orders or subcontracts except as may be necessary for the completion of the work not terminated
c) Terminate all orders and subcontracts to the extent that they relate to the performance of the work terminated by the notice of
termination.

provided, however, that the amount of payment on termination shall not exceed the total contract price as reduced by the portion
thereof allocated to the work not completed and further reduced by the amount of payments, if, any otherwise made. CMAR shall
submit its claim for amounts due after termination as provided in this paragraph within 30 days after receipt of such claim. In the
event of any dispute or controversy as to the propriety or allowability of all or any portion of such claim under this paragraph, such
