DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E136D1 -507C- 4219- BF16- 446F8D2192F8 <br />between trade Subcontractors, (3) contract default by trade Subcontractors, (4) threat of or damage <br />due to Acts of God to the extent not otherwise covered by insurance; (5) costs of corrective Work <br />not provided for elsewhere and (6) unforeseen field conditions and design omissions which a <br />prudent CMAR should reasonably have detected during the discharge of the CMAR's pre - <br />construction duties. Costs incurred for such design omissions shall come from the CMAR -GMP <br />Contingency. Design errors which the CMAR could not have reasonably detected will be resolved <br />on a case -by -case basis. These may be paid from the Owner contingency, but shall not be <br />chargeable to the CMAR -GMP Contingency. <br />5.4. The CMAR -GMP Contingency is not allocated to any particular item of the Cost of the Work, and <br />is established for the CMAR's use as may be required for increases in costs as noted above. It is <br />understood that the amount of the CMAR -GMP Contingency is the maximum sum available to the <br />CMAR to cover costs incurred as a result of such unanticipated causes or details, and that cost <br />overruns in excess of the amount of the CMAR -GMP Contingency will be borne by the CMAR. <br />5.5. The CMAR -GMP Contingency may be applied to any items within the Cost of the Work without <br />the necessity of a change order, without constituting a change in the Work, and without resulting in <br />any change in the GMP. The CMAR will notify the Owner and Project Designer in writing of the <br />CMAR's intent to apply any part of the CMAR -GMP Contingency to any item within the Cost of <br />the Work prior to any such application. The CMAR shall fully document the change on its copy of <br />the Construction Documents for inclusion in the as -built record documents required by this <br />Contract. <br />5.6. Unless otherwise agreed by the Owner, and provided that the Total Construction Budget remains <br />$24,400,000, the total CMAR -GMP Contingency for the Project shall not exceed $488,000. If the <br />Owner changes the Total Construction Budget, the CMAR -GMP Contingency shall not exceed two <br />percent (2.0 %), as a value line item of the sum of the Cost of the Work and the CMAR General <br />Conditions, all as more fully defined in this Contract, as of the date when the final GMP is <br />established and approved by the Owner, subject to modification and limitation as set forth herein. <br />When each GMP is fixed, the CMAR -GMP Contingency for that GMP shall be converted to a <br />lump sum. The entire CMAR Contingency shall be fixed in the final GMP, based on the Total <br />Construction Budget at the time of the final GMP, after which the CMAR Contingency shall not be <br />adjusted unless an amount is negotiated with Owner requested Change Orders to the Work of the <br />Project. <br />5.7. The amount of the CMAR -GMP Contingency is to be reviewed by the Owner as part of its review <br />of each GMP. The Owner retains the right to specifically request revisions to the amount of the <br />CMAR -GMP Contingency prior to the Owner's acceptance and approval of each GMP. If, after a <br />contingency is fixed as part of a GMP proposal, the contract prices are lower than anticipated, the <br />CMAR and Owner agree that the CMAR -GMP Contingency shall not be reduced prior to <br />completion of that GMP phase. In the event that the CMAR is not required to use any or all of the <br />CMAR -GMP Contingency for a particular GMP it shall be carried forward to each subsequent <br />GMP. After final completion of the Project, the Owner shall pay the CMAR thirty percent (30_ %) <br />of the unused CMAR -GMP Contingency. In the event that there are any funds remaining in any <br />special or dedicated Owner's allowance, those funds shall be retained solely by the Owner. <br />6. PROJECT DESIGNER'S STATUS <br />6.1. The Project Designer shall provide liaison and necessary inspection of the Work to ensure <br />compliance with the Construction Documents. The Project Designer is the agent of the Owner only <br />for the purposes and to the extent stipulated in the various Contract Documents. The Project <br />Designer has authority to stop Work or to order Work removed, or to order corrections of faulty or <br />non - compliant Work where such action may be necessary to assure successful completion of the <br />Work. <br />Page 9 of 53 <br />Revised 10/17 <br />
