Continuous Improvement 3.1 The Supplier shall adopt a policy of continuous improvement in relation to the Services pursuant to which it will regularly review with the Authority the Services and the manner in which it is providing the Services with a view to reducing the Authority's costs (including the Framework Prices), the costs of Contracting Bodies and/or improving the quality and efficiency of the Services. The Supplier and the Authority will provide to each other any information which may be relevant to assisting the objectives of continuous improvement and in particular reducing costs.
Project Scope The physical scope of the Project shall be limited to only those capital improvements as described in Appendix A of this Agreement. In the event that circumstances require a change in such physical scope, the change must be approved by the District Committee, recorded in the District Committee's official meeting minutes, and provided to the OPWC Director for the execution of an amendment to this Agreement.
THE WORK The Work comprises the completed construction required by the Contract Documents and includes all labor necessary to produce such construction, and all materials and equipment incorporated or to be incorporated in such construction.
Initial Improvements Certain improvements shall be constructed in the Premises by Landlord as described in Exhibit B hereto (the “Space Improvements”) for the purpose of initially preparing the Premises for occupancy by Tenant. Prior to the Commencement Date, any work performed by Tenant or any fixtures or personal property moved into the Premises shall be at Tenant’s own risk. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such improvements on or before the Commencement Date set forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions, but Landlord shall have no liability to the Tenant hereunder if prevented from doing so for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to strike or other labor troubles, governmental restrictions, failure or shortage of utility service, national or local emergency, accident, flood, fire or other casualty, adverse weather condition, other act of God, inability to obtain a building permit or a certificate of occupancy, or any other cause beyond the Landlord’s reasonable control. In such event, the Commencement Date and expiration date of the Term shall be postponed for a period equaling the length of such delay. If any delay in completion of the Space Improvements or in delivering possession of the Premises is deemed to be caused by Landlord’s gross negligence and as a result, the Initial Improvements are not completed by July 31, 2011, Tenant shall have the right to cancel this Lease and have no other obligations hereto. However, if any delay in completion of the Space Improvements or in delivering possession of the Premises to Tenant are caused by Tenant, including Tenant’s requesting changes in the Space Improvements which delay completion thereof, then Tenant shall commence all of its obligations hereunder (including the payments of Rent), and all terms herein shall be effective and binding, on that date reasonably calculated by Landlord or its contractor as the date on which Landlord would have substantially completed the Space Improvements if not for such delay.
Performance of Work All work described in this Section 8 shall be performed only by Landlord or by contractors and subcontractors approved in writing by Landlord and only in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord in writing. If Landlord elects, in its sole discretion, to supervise any work described in this Section 8, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a construction management fee equal to 5% of the cost of such work. Tenant shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to procure and maintain insurance coverage naming Landlord, Landlord’s Mortgagee, Landlord’s property management company and Landlord’s asset management company as additional insureds against such risks, in such amounts, and with such companies as Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the identities, mailing addresses and telephone numbers of all persons performing work or supplying materials prior to beginning such construction and Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable Laws. All such work shall be performed in accordance with all Laws and in a good and workmanlike manner so as not to damage the Building (including the Premises, the Building’s Structure and the Building’s Systems) and shall use materials of a quality that is at least equal to the quality designated by Landlord as the minimum standard for the Building, and in such manner as to cause a minimum of disruption to the other occupants of the Project and interference with other construction in progress and with the transaction of business in the Project and the related complex. Landlord may designate reasonable rules, regulations and procedures for the performance of all such work in the Building (including insurance requirements for contractors) and, to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid disruption to the occupants of the Building, shall have the right to designate the time when such work may be performed. All such work which may affect the Building’s Structure or the Building’s Systems must be approved by the Project’s engineer of record, at Tenant’s expense and, at Landlord’s election, must be performed by Landlord’s usual contractor for such work. All work affecting the roof of the Building must be performed by Landlord’s roofing contractor and no such work will be permitted if it would void or reduce or otherwise adversely affect the warranty on the roof. Upon completion of any work described in this Section 8, except with respect to any Permitted Alterations or any repairs required to be made by Tenant under Section 8.2, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with accurate reproducible “as-built” CADD files of the improvements as constructed.
