without limitation changes to the Drawings and Specifications, <br />the Master Schedule, the sequence, manner or method of <br />performing the Work, or the work being provided by the Owner <br />or its separate contractors. The amount of adjustment to <br />increase or decrease the Cost of the Work resulting from a <br />change in the Project shall be determined in one or more of the <br />following ways: <br />7.3.1.1 By mutual acceptance of a lump sum, properly itemized <br />and supported by cost data; or <br />7.3.1.2 By unit prices defined in a contract with a Contractor; or <br />7.3.1.3 By the cost of such Work determined on the basis of <br />the cost records for the changed work. In the event actual <br />costs are to be reimbursed, the CM shall keep and present in <br />such form as may be agreeable to the Owner and Designer an <br />itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data <br />of the actual Gost of the Work. <br />7.3.2 Directive to Proceed <br />In the event the CM and the Owner cannot agree that an <br />adjustment to the Guaranteed Maximum Price or the Master <br />Schedule is warranted, or cannot agree on the compensation <br />for a change in the Work or on an increase in the Guaranteed <br />Maximum Price, the CM shall, if so directed by the Owner in <br />writing, nevertheless proceed with the Work, and any <br />adjustment to the Guaranteed Maximum Price shall be <br />negotiated by the parties at a later date, utilizing the dispute <br />resolution procedures under this Agreement if necessary. <br />7.3.3 Unit Prices <br />If unit prices are utilized in the Guaranteed Maximum Price, the <br />Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal shall document the <br />estimates on which the unit prices are based. If the CM later <br />determines that the quantities on which unit prices are based <br />will vary from the quantities utilized by the CM to fix the unit <br />prices and calculate the Guaranteed Maximum Price, the CM <br />shall within tk~ea~en (10) business days after determining that <br />the quantities will vary from the estimates notify the Designer <br />and the Owner in writing and forecast the amount of the <br />variance. If the estimated quantities available to and used by <br />the CM to establish the unit prices are so changed that <br />application of the agreed unit prices to the quantities or work <br />proposed cause substantial inequity to the Owner or the CM, <br />the applicable unit prices and Guaranteed Maximum Price shall <br />be adjusted. <br />7.3.4 Unforeseen Conditions <br />Should the CM encounter unforeseen conditions at the Project <br />site materially differing from those shown on the Drawings or <br />indicated in the Specifications or differing materially from those <br />ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in <br />work of the character provided for in this Agreement, the CM <br />shall immediately, and in no event more than t#~ee-(~~ten 10 <br />business days later, give notice to the Owner of such <br />conditions before they are disturbed. The Owner and the <br />Designer shall thereupon promptly investigate the conditions <br />and if they find that they materially differ from those shown on <br />the Drawings or indicated in the Specifications, they shall at <br />once make such changes in the Drawings and/or Specifications <br />as they may find necessary. Any increase or decrease in the <br />Guaranteed Maximum Price resulting from such changes shall <br />be adjusted in the manner provided herein for adjustments as <br />to extra and/or additional Work and changes. However, neither <br />the Owner nor the Designer shall be liable or responsible for <br />additional work, costs, or changes to the Work that could have <br />been reasonably determined from any reports, surveys, and <br />analyses made available for the CM's review or that could have <br />been discovered by the CM through the performance of its <br />obligations pursuant to the Contract Documents. <br />7.3.5 Minor Changes <br />The Designer shall have the authority to order minor changes <br />in the Project consistent with the intent of the Drawings and <br />Specifications and not involving an adjustment in the <br />Guaranteed Maximum Price or change of the construction <br />completion date. Such changes may be affected by written <br />order only. <br />7.4 Fixed Fee and General Conditions Costs <br />[Not used] <br />7.4.1 Fixed Fees <br />[Not used] <br />7.4.2 General Conditions <br />[Not used] <br />7.4.2.1 [Not used] <br />7.4.2.2 [Not used] <br />7.4.2.3 [Not used] <br />22 <br />
