GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE PROPOSAL 7.1 At the conclusion of the Design Development phase the Contractor shall prepare and submit a Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal to Owner based on the Design Development phase documents and review comments. The GMP shall be delivered to the Owner within three (3) weeks of the Design Development review meeting or a date established by the Owner. The GMP Proposal must be prepared in accordance with the guidelines established by Owner and delivered in the format specified by Owner in Exhibit “E” attached to this Agreement. Owner, at its sole option and discretion, may specify different requirements for the GMP Proposal. Contractor shall not withdraw its Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal for ninety (90) days following submission to Owner. 7.2 In developing the GMP Proposal, Contractor shall coordinate efforts with A/E to identify qualifications, clarifications, assumptions, exclusions, value engineering and any other factors relevant to establishment of a GMP. Contractor shall review development of the GMP Proposal with Owner on an ongoing basis to address clarifications of scope and pricing, distribution of contingencies, schedule, assumptions, exclusions, and other matters relevant to the establishment of a GMP. 7.3 The GMP Proposal must include a written description of how it was derived that specifically identifies the clarifications and assumptions made by Contractor in the GMP and the monetary amounts attributable to them. The GMP Proposal shall include, without limitation, a breakdown of Contractor’s estimated General Conditions Costs and estimated Cost of the Work organized by trade and Masterformat 2004; contingency amounts; the Construction Phase Fee; and the proposed Contract Time, including dates for Notice to Proceed, Substantial Completion and Final Completion. Notwithstanding the breakdown of Contractor’s estimated costs, there are no line item guaranteed maximum amounts except for general conditions. 7.4 The Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal shall allow for reasonably expected changes and refinements in the Drawings and Specifications through completion of the Construction Documents, except for material changes in scope. 7.5 The GMP Proposal shall include a Contractor’s Contingency amount. 7.6 Included with its GMP Proposal, Contractor shall provide three complete, bound sets of the drawings, specifications, plans, sketches, instructions, requirements, materials, equipment specifications and other information or documents that fully describe the Project as developed at the time of the GMP Proposal and that are relevant to the establishment of the GMP. The bound supporting documents shall be referenced in and incorporated into the GMP Proposal. 7.7 The GMP Proposal and all supporting documents shall identify and describe all items, assumptions, costs, contingencies, schedules and other matters necessary and relevant for proper execution and completion of the Work and for establishment of the GMP. The GMP Proposal and the supporting documents are complementary and, in the event of an irreconcilable conflict between or among them, the interpretation that provides for the higher quality or quantity of material and/or workmanship shall prevail over all other interpretations. 7.8 In submitting the GMP Proposal, Contractor represents that it will provide every item, system or element of performance that is identified, shown or specified in the GMP Proposal or the supporting documents, along with those necessary or ancillary materials that are reasonably inferable and equipment for their complete operating installation, unless specifically accepted in writing by Owner. Upon Owner’s written acceptance of the GMP Proposal, Contractor shall not be entitled to any increase in the GMP due to the continued refinement of the Construction Documents or the absence or addition of any detail or specification that may be required in order to complete the construction of the Project as described in and reasonably inferable from the GMP Proposal or the supporting documents used to establish the GMP. 7.9 The GMP Proposal shall adopt and incorporate all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all attachments to this Agreement. Any proposed deviation from the terms and conditions of this Agreement must be clearly and conspicuously identified to Owner in writing and specifically accepted in writing by Owner. In the event of a conflict between any term of the GMP Proposal that was not clearly and conspicuously identified and approved by Owner and the terms of this Agreement and its attachments, the terms of the Agreement and its attachments shall control. 7.10 Owner may accept or reject the Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal or attempt to negotiate its terms with Contractor. Upon acceptance by Owner of the GMP Proposal in writing, both parties shall execute the GMP Proposal which shall become part of this Agreement. If Owner rejects the GMP Proposal or the parties are unable or unwilling to agree on a GMP, Owner may terminate this Agreement. 7.11 Following Owner’s acceptance of the GMP Proposal, Contractor shall continue to monitor the development of the Construction Documents so that, when complete, the Construction Documents adequately incorporate and resolve all qualifications, assumptions, clarifications, exclusions and value engineering issues identified in the GMP Proposal. During the Construction Documents stage, Contractor and A/E shall jointly deliver a monthly written status report to Owner describing the progress on the incorporation of all qualifications, assumptions, clarifications, exclusions, value engineering issues and all other matters relevant to the establishment of the GMP into the Construction Documents. 7.12 Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment of the GMP if it is required to pay or bear the burden of any new federal, state, or local tax, or any rate increase of an existing tax, except taxes on income, adopted through statute, court decision, written ruling, or regulation taking effect after acceptance of the GMP Proposal. This equitable adjustment does not apply to tax increases borne solely by Subcontractors. 7.13 The parties may agree to convert the GMP to a lump sum contract amount at any time after Contractor has received bids or proposals from trade Contractors or Subcontractors for the performance of all major elements of the Project. In proposing a lump sum amount, Contractor shall consider the buyout savings, any unused contingency amounts and the trade package contracts that have not been finalized. In preparing a lump sum conversion proposal, Contractor must provide the following information: 7.13.1 The stage of completion of the Project; 7.13.2 The trade packages that have been completely bought out; 7.13.3 The trade packages remaining that have not been bought out; 7.13.4 A complete line item breakdown of the calculations used to establish a lump sum amount based on the GMP Schedule of Values; 7.13.5 An accounting of all savings amounts that are to be returned to Owner as part of the lump sum calculation; and 7.13.6 Any other Project information requested by Owner. 7.14 Contractor shall document the actual Cost of the Project at buyout as compared to the Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal and shall report this information to Owner monthly and with Contractor’s recommendation for selection of a bid/proposal for each subcontracting package. 7.15 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Contractor shall have no liability for delay or liquidated damages if the parties are unable to reach an agreement on the GMP.
PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE FEE The Pre-Construction Phase Fee is the total compensation payable to Contractor for the performance of Pre-Construction Phase Services, except for Additional Pre-Construction Phase Services approved in advance and in writing by Owner. The Pre-Construction Phase Fee shall be a lump sum amount based on the AACC established in this Agreement. 6.1 Except as specifically allowed by Owner, Contractor shall not be entitled to any increase in the Pre-Construction Phase Fee for any costs, expenses, liabilities or other obligations arising from the performance of Pre-Construction Phase Services. 6.2 Costs associated with the following items are specifically, but not exclusively, included in the establishment of the Pre-Construction Phase Fee: profit and profit sharing; general overhead; salaries and labor; housing and relocation; estimating, scheduling and information management systems and software; contract administration; office expenses; printing and copying; consulting fees; legal or accounting fees; cost of money; taxes; insurance premiums and deductibles; bond costs; purchase or rental of equipment; utilities; travel; per diem; fines or penalties; and damage awards. 6.3 If the scope of the Pre-Construction Phase Services is changed materially, the Pre- Construction Phase Fee shall be equitably adjusted. If the AACC is changed materially before acceptance of the GMP Proposal, the Pre-Construction Phase Fee shall be adjusted in writing in proportion to the change in the AACC. There shall be no adjustments in the Pre-Construction Phase Fee following acceptance of the GMP Proposal. 6.4 For Additional Pre-Construction Phase Services that are approved in advance and in writing by Owner, Contractor shall be entitled to additional compensation computed as follows: 6.4.1 A pre-established lump sum amount; or 6.4.2 The hourly cost of Contractor’s employees or consultants who actually perform the Additional Services based on the employee’s Worker Wage Rate or prorated Monthly Rate plus the actual cost of allowable expenses incurred in the performance of the Additional Pre-Construction Phase Services, plus an overhead and profit markup of ten percent (10%) of the total cost; or 6.4.3 As otherwise agreed in advance and in writing.
