Unrenovated Portions of the Structure. In constructing the Project, the Design-Builder shall ensure that unrenovated portions of existing structures, if any, including, but not limited to, the mechanical, plumbing, electrical systems and other building systems are not adversely affected. All unrenovated portions of the structures should function, at a minimum, at the level of functionality that existed immediately prior to the construction of the Project. If any unrenovated portion of the Project functions at a lower level of functionality as a result of the Design-Builder’s Work, the Design-Builder shall be back-charged the costs incurred by the Department in addressing the decreased functionality.
Unrenovated Portions of the Structure. In constructing the Project, the Construction Manager shall ensure that unrenovated portions of existing structures, if any, including, but not limited to, the mechanical, plumbing, electrical systems and other building systems are not adversely affected. All unrenovated portions of the structures should function, at a minimum, at the level of functionality that existed immediately prior to the construction of the Project. If any unrenovated portion of the Project functions at a lower level of functionality as a result of the Construction Manager’s Work, the Construction Manager shall be back-charged the costs incurred by the Department in addressing the decreased functionality. Subcontracting and Administration It is contemplated that all or substantially all of the construction of the Project will be carried out by trade Subcontractors. The Construction Manager shall enter into a written agreement with each subcontractor. The trade subcontractors will be under written contract with the Construction Manager. All subcontracts and agreements for the supply of equipment or materials awarded for the Project shall be fixed-price contracts unless otherwise expressly authorized by the Department, in writing. It is understood and agreed, however, that certain trade packages (such as the mechanical and electrical packages) may be awarded on a design-assist or design-build basis and that such trade packages may be awarded on such other basis subject to the Department’s consent as to the bidding procedures and economic structure with regard to those packages. The Construction Manager and its affiliates may not carry out trade work with its own forces without the Department's written permission, which permission may be withheld or conditioned by the Department in its sole and absolute judgment. In addition to the open book reporting requirements set forth in Section 5.9., the Construction Manager shall provide to the Department a copy of all quotes or proposals submitted by potential subcontractors. The Construction Manager shall develop a purchasing strategy to address the expedited schedule and conditions of this Project and shall include appropriate provisions in the subcontracts to minimize the cost impact associated with such conditions. Such strategies may include, but are not limited to, (i) obtaining from subcontractors unit price quotes for typical coordination items; (ii) setting aside allowances for coordination work; and (iii) such other techniques as may...
