KCDA contract. The change order must be signed by both the
Client and Contractor.
13.3 Dispute Resolution. All claims, disputes
and other matters in question of the Contractor, direct or
indirect, arising out of, or relating to, the Contract Documents
or the breach thereof ( "Claims "), except Claims which have
been waived under the terms of the Contract Documents, shall
Agreement between Client and Contractor - Washington 20122115_i.DoC Page 8
be decided exclusively by the following dispute resolution
procedure; claims that have been waived under the terms of
the Contract Documents are not permitted to be brought in any
forum. The Contractor shall diligently carry on the Work and
maintain the progress schedule during the dispute resolution
procedure, including any litigation proceedings, unless the
parties mutually agree in writing otherwise.
13.3.1 Notice of Claim. The Contractor shall
submit notice of all Claims to both KCDA and the Client in
writing within seven days of the event giving rise to them and
shall include a clear description of the event and its probable
effect.
13.3.2 Claim Submission. Within 21 days of the
Notice of Claim, the Contractor shall provide both KCDA and
the Client in writing with a Claim, which shall include a clear
description of the Claim, all changes in cost and in time
(direct, indirect, impact, and otherwise) to which the
Contractor and Subcontractors of any tier are entitled, and data
supporting the Claim. The claim of a Subcontractor may be
brought only through the Contractor and only after the
Contractor notifies KCDA and the Client in writing that the
Contractor has reviewed and agrees with the Claim. .
13.3.3 Informal Resolution. KCDA and the Client
will make a determination of the Claim. If the Contractor
disagrees with KCDA and the Client's determination and
wishes to pursue the Claim further, the Contractor must,
within fourteen days of receipt of the determination, provide
KCDA and the Client with a written request that a
representative of the Contractor, KCDA, and the Client meet,
confer, and attempt to resolve the Claim. This meeting will
then take place at a mutually convenient time within thirty
days of the request, unless the Client elects to proceed directly
to mediation.
13.3.4 Mediation. The Contractor may bring no
litigation against the Client or KCDA unless the Claim is first
subject to non - binding mediation under the Construction
Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association
( "AAA "). The Contractor is responsible for initiating the
mediation process. This requirement cannot be waived except
by an explicit written waiver signed by KCDA, the Client, and
the Contractor. To initiate the mediation process, the
Contractor shall submit a written mediation request to KCDA
and the Client within thirty days of the meeting undertaken in
Subparagraph 13.3.3. If the parties are unable to agree to a
mediator within thirty days after KCDA and the Client's
receipt of the written request for mediation, any party may
submit a request for mediation to the AAA. An officer of the
Contractor and of KCDA and the Superintendent or designee
of the Client, all having full authority to settle the Claim, must
attend the mediation session. To the extent there are other
parties in interest, such as Subcontractors, their
representatives, with full authority to settle the Claim, shall
also attend the mediation session. Unless KCDA, the Client,
and Contractor mutually agree in writing otherwise, all
unresolved Claims in the Project shall be considered at a
single mediation session which shall occur prior to Final
Acceptance by the Client. -.. , ..... ..
13.3.5 Litigation. The Contractor may bring no
litigation on Claims unless such Claims have been properly
raised and considered in the dispute resolution procedures of
Subparagraphs 13.3.1 through 13.3.4 above. All unresolved
Claims of the Contractor shall be waived and released unless
the Contractor has strictly complied with the time limits of the
Contract Documents, and litigation is served and filed within
the earlier of (a) 120 days after the Date of Substantial
Completion as designated in writing by the Client or (b) 60
days after Final Acceptance. This requirement cannot be
waived except by an explicit written waiver signed by KCDA,
the Client, and the Contractor. The pendency of a mediation
(calculated as the period from the written request for
mediation through the day following the mediation
proceeding) shall toll these filing requirements.
13.4 Notices and Claims. All notices and
Claims shall be made in writing as required by the Agreement.
13.4.1 Any notice of a Claim of the Contractor
against KCDA or the Client and any Claim of the Contractor,
whether under the Agreement or otherwise, must be made
pursuant to and in strict accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Contract Documents. Failure to comply with
these requirements shall constitute waiver of the Claim. No
act, omission, or knowledge, actual or constructive, of KCDA,
the Client, or the A/E shall in any way be deemed to be a
waiver of the requirement for timely written notice and a
timely written Claim unless KCDA, the Client, and the
Contractor sign an explicit, unequivocal written waiver
approved by KCDA and the Client's Board of Directors.
13.4.2 The fact that KCDA, the Client, and the
Contractor may continue to discuss or negotiate a Claim that
has or may have been defective or untimely under the Contract
shall not constitute waiver of the provisions of the Contract
Documents unless KCDA, the Client, and Contractor sign an
explicit, unequivocal written waiver approved by the Client's
board of directors.
13.4.3 The Contractor expressly acknowledges and
agrees that the Contractor's failure to timely submit required
notices or timely submit Claims has a substantial impact upon
and prejudices KCDA and the Client, including but not limited
to the inability to fully investigate or verify the Claim,
mitigate damages, choose alternative options, adjust the
budget, delete or modify the impacted Work, and /or monitor
time, cost and quantities. For these and other reasons, the
parties stipulate that KCDA and the Client are prejudiced by
the Contractor's failure to timely submit notices or Claims as
required by the Contract Documents.
13.5 Claims for Concealed or Unknown
Conditions. If conditions unknown to the Contractor are
encountered at the site which are (1) concealed physical
conditions that differ materially from those indicated in the
Contract Documents or (2) unknown physical conditions of an
unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily
found and generally recognized as inherent in activities of the
character provided for in the Contract Documents, then the—
Agreement between Client and Contractor - Washington 20122115_i.DOC Page 9
Contractor shall give written notice to KCDA and the Client
promptly before conditions are disturbed and in no event later
than seven days after the first observance on the conditions.
The Contractor shall make any Claim arising from such
condition in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure
in Subparagraph 13.3.
13.6 Claims for Consequential Damages. The
Contractor, the Client, and KCDA waive Claims against each
other for consequential damages arising out of or relating to
this Contract. This mutual waiver includes without limitation:
.1 damages incurred by KCDA or the Client
for rental expenses, for losses of use, income, profit,
financing, business and reputation, and for loss of
management or employee productivity or of the
services of such persons; and
.2 damages incurred by the Contractor for
principal and home office overhead and expenses
including without limitation the compensation of
personnel stationed there, for losses of financing,
business and reputation, for losses on other projects,
for loss of profit, and for interest or financing costs.
This mutual waiver is applicable to all consequential damages
of any cause, including without limitation due to either party's
termination in accordance with Article 20. Nothing contained
in this Section 13.6 shall be deemed to preclude an award of
liquidated damages, when applicable, in accordance with the
requirements of the Contract Documents.
13.7 The Contractor (including Subcontractors)
shall not in any event be entitled to damages arising out of
actual or alleged loss of efficiency; morale, fatigue, attitude, or
labor rhythm; constructive acceleration; home office
overhead; expectant underrun; trade stacking; reassignment of
workers; concurrent operations; dilution of supervision;
teaming curve; beneficial or joint occupancy; logistics; ripple;
season change; extended overhead; profit upon damages for
delay; impact damages; or similar damages.
ARTICLE 14
TIME
14.1 Within seven days of executing the
Agreement, the Contractor shall deliver any required bond to
the Client with a copy to KCDA; no Progress Payments shall
be due until the bond is delivered.
14.2 If the Contractor is delayed at any time in
progress of the Work by changes ordered in the Work, by
unanticipated general labor disputes, fire, unusual delay in
deliveries, abnormal adverse weather conditions not
reasonably anticipatable, unavoidable casualties, delays
caused by the Client or its separate contractors, or any causes
beyond the Contractor's control, or by other causes which may
justify delay, then the Contract Time shall be extended by
Change Order to the extent the critical path is affected. The
Contractor (including Subcontractors) shall be entitled to
_._.,.damages for delay, the total limited to the.liquidated rate.of
Subparagraph 2.3, only where KCDA or the Client's own
actions or inactions were the actual. substantial cause of the
delay and where the Contractor could not have reasonably
avoided the delay by the exercise of due diligence. If a delay
was caused by the Contractor, a Subcontractor of any tier, or
anyone acting on behalf of any of them, the Contractor is not
entitled to an increase in the Contract Time or in the Contract
Sum.
14.3 THE TIMELY COMPLETION OF THIS
PROJECT IS ESSENTIAL TO KCDA AND THE CLIENT.
KCDA and the Client will incur serious and substantial
damages if Substantial Completion of the Work does not occur
within the Contract Time; however, it may be difficult if not
impossible to determine the amount of such damages.
Consequently, this Agreement may include provisions for
liquidated damages. KCDA and the Client's right to
liquidated damages is not affected by partial completion,
occupancy, or beneficial occupancy. If this Agreement does
not contain an agreed amount for liquidated damages, KCDA
and the Client may prove their actual damages.
ARTICLE 15
PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION
15.1 Progress Payments. Payments shall
be made as provided in Articles 3 and 4 of this Agreement. If
Progress payments are specified, they will be made monthly
for Work duly approved and performed during the calendar
month preceding the application according to the following
procedure.
15.1.1 Draft Application. Within the first five days
of each month, the Contractor shall submit to KCDA and the
Client, for the Client's approval, a report on the current status
of the Work as compared to the Progress Schedule and a draft
itemized AIA Application for Payment for Work performed
during the prior calendar month. This shall not constitute a
payment request. KCDA or the Client may request the
Contractor to provide data substantiating the Contractors right
to payment, such as copies of requisitions or invoices from
Subcontractors.
15.1.2 Payment Request. The Client shall review
and approve the draft Application for Payment, or state its
reasons for disapproval. Upon the Client's approval, and after
the Contractor has furnished all data requested, the Contractor
may submit to KCDA a payment request in the agreed -upon
amount, in the form of a notarized, itemized AIA Application
for Payment for Work performed during the prior calendar
month. KCDA shall re- verify the amounts with the Client
and, once verified and approved by the Client, will invoice the
Client, and KCDA shall make payment to Contractor from
funds received from the Client. Payment from the Client to
KCDA is a condition precedent to payment from KCDA to the
Contractor. Among other things, the Application shall state
that prevailing wages have been paid in accordance with the
prefiled statement(s) of intent to pay prevailing wages on file
with KCDA and the Client and that all payments due
Subcontractors from KCDA's prior payments have been
made. _.The submission of_ this Application constitutes a
Agreement between Client and Contractor - Washington 20122115_i.DOC Page 10
certification that the Work is current on the progress schedule,
unless otherwise noted on the Application. If the Contractor
believes it is entitled to payment for Work performed during
the prior calendar month in addition to the agreed -upon
amount, the Contractor may submit to KCDA a separate
written payment request specifying the exact additional
amount due, the category in the Schedule of Values in which
the payment is due, the specific Work for which the additional
amount is due, and why the additional payment is due.
15.1.3 Payments to Subcontractors. No payment
request shall include amounts the Contractor does not intend
to pay to a Subcontractor. If, after making a request for
payment but before paying a Subcontractor for its
performance covered by the payment request, the Contractor
discovers that part or all of the payment otherwise due to the
Subcontractor is subject to withholding from the
Subcontractor for unsatisfactory performance, the Contractor
may withhold the amount as allowed under the subcontract,
but it shall give the Subcontractor and KCDA and the Client
written notice of the remedial actions that must be taken as
soon as practicable after determining the cause for the
withholding but before the due date for the Subcontractor
payment, and pay-die Subcontractor within eight working.de vs
after the Subcontractor satisfactorily completes the remedial
action identified in the notice.
15.2 Prevailing Wages. Pursuant to RCW
39.12, the Contractor will not receive any payment until the
Contractor and all Subcontractors have submitted a "Statement
of Intent to Pay Prevailing Wage" to KCDA and the Client.
The statement must have the approval of the Industrial
Statistician of the Department of Labor and Industries before it
is submitted to KCDA and the Client. The Contractor and the
respective Subcontractors shall pay all fees required by the
Department of Labor and Industries, including fees for the
approval of the "Statement of Intent to Pay Prevailing
Wages." Approved copies of the "Statement of Intent to Pay
Prevailing Wages" must be posted where workers can easily
read them.
15.3 Progress payments. Unless the Client
informs the Contractor that a payment will be withheld as
provided in Section 15.4, KCDA shall make progress
payments within 30 days of approval of the payment request
by the Client.
15.4 Withheld Payments. Payments may be
withheld on account of (1) defective Work not remedied, (2)
claims filed by third parties, (3) failure of the Contractor to
make payments properly to Subcontractors or for labor,
materials or equipment or provide releases under
Section 11.3.1, (4) reasonable evidence that the Work cannot
be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum. (5)
damage to KCDA, the Client, or another contractor, (6)
reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed
within the Contract Time and that the unpaid balance would
not be adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages for the
anticipated delay, or (7) failure to carry out the Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents. When KCDA
intends to withhold all. or part of a payment for any, of the
foregoing reasons, KCDA will provide the Contractor, within
eight working days after KCDA's receipt of the Application
for Payment, written notification of the reasons that all or part
of the payment is being withheld and what remedial actions
the Contractor must take to receive the withheld amount.
15.5 Substantial Completion.
15.5.1 When the Contractor believes that the Work
is Substantially Complete, it shall notify KCDA and the Client
in writing. When the Client agrees, the Client will issue a
Certificate of Substantial Completion, Substantial Completion
is the stage in the progress of the Work when the construction
is sufficiently complete, in accordance with the Contract
Documents, so the Client can fully utilize the Work (or the
designated portion thereof) for the use for which it is intended.
All Work other than incidental corrective or punchlist work
and final cleaning shall have been completed. The Work is
not Substantially Complete if all systems and parts affected by
the Work are not usable or if utilities affected by the Work are
not connected and operating normally. The fact that the Client
may use or occupy the Work or designated portion thereof
does not indicate that the Work is Substantially Complete, nor
does such occupation toll or change any liquidated damages
due KCDA.
15.5.2 Immediately before partial or complete
occupancy, the Client will schedule an inspection tour of the
area to be occupied. A representative of KCDA and /or the
Client, A/E and Contractor will jointly tour the area and record
items still remaining to be finished and/or corrected. The
Contractor shall supply and install any items missed by the
inspection but required or necessary for Final Completion as a
part of the Contract Sum, notwithstanding their not being
recorded during the inspection tour.
15.6 Final Payment. Pursuant to RCW 60 28,
completion of the Contract Work shall occur after the
Contractor has notified KCDA and the Client in writing that
the Work has been concluded and submits the items listed
below to KCDA and the Client, any required occupancy
permit has been issued, and the Client's Board formally
accepts the Project ("Final Acceptance "). Final Payment shall
not become due until after Final Acceptance.
.l An affidavit that all payrolls, bills for materials
and equipment, and other indebtedness connected
with the Work for which the Client or its property
might in any way be responsible or encumbered, have
been paid or otherwise satisfied,
.2 consent of surety to final payment,
.3 a certificate evidencing that insurance required by
the Contract Documents to remain in force after final
payment is currently in effect and will not be
canceled or allowed to expire until at least 30 da's'
prior written notice has been given to KCDA and the
Client,

.4 a written statement that the Contractor knows of
no substantial reason why the insurance will not be
renewable to cover the period required by the
Contract Documents,
.5 other data establishing payment or satisfaction of
or protection (satisfactory to KCDA and the Client)
against all obligations, such as receipts, releases and
waivers of liens arising out of the Agreement,

have filed claims have been paid,
.6 pursuant to RCW 39.12.040, an "Affidavit of
Wages Paid' from the Contractor and from each
Subcontractor certified by the Industrial Statistician
of the Department of Labor and Industries, with fees
paid by the Contractor or Subcontractor,
.7 a certified statement that the Contractor has closed
all necessary permits or otherwise met the
requirements of all governing jurisdictions related to
this Project (including, without limitation, city /county
building departments, health districts and utility

signed -off permits),
.8 all warranties, guarantees, certificates, spare parts,
specified excess material, and other documents or
items required by the Contract Documents. and
.9 a hard copy of the "record' drawings and
specifications, delivered in a clear, clean and legible
condition.
If any Subcontractor of any tier refuses to furnish a
release or waiver required by KCDA of the Client, KCDA
may retain in the fund, account, or escrow funds such amount
as to defray the cost of foreclosing the liens of such claims and
to pay attorneys' fees, the total of which shall be no less than
150% of the claimed amount. If any such lien remains
unsatisfied after all payments are made, the Contractor shall
refund to KCDA all moneys that the latter or the Client may
be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all
costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
Final payment shall be made pursuant to RCW 60.28
after the Contractor has properly submitted certificates from
the Department of Revenue, the Department of Labor and
Industries and, pursuant to RCW 5024, a certificate from the
Department of Employment Security.
15.7 Waivers.
15.7.1 Final Payment by KCDA. The making of
final payment shall constitute a waiver of claims by KCDA
and the Client except those arising from (1) liens, claims,
security interests, or encumbrances arising out of the
Agreement and unsettled; (2) failure of the Work to comply
with the requirements of the Contract Documents; or (3) terms
of warranties,required by the Contract Documents or law.
15.7.2 Final Payment to Contractor. Acceptance of
final payment by the Contractor shall constitute a waiver of
Claims except those previously made in writing and identified
in writing as unsettled on the final Application for Payment.
15.7.3 Change Orders. The execution of a Change
Order shall constitute a waiver of Claims by the Contractor
arising out of the Work to be performed or deleted pursuant to
the Change Order, except as specifically described in the
Change Order. If the Contractor adds to a Change Order or
any other document a reservation of rights that has not been
initialed by KCDA and the Client, all the amounts previously
agreed shall be considered disputed and not yet payable unless
the costs are re- negotiated or the reservation is withdrawn or
changed in a manner satisfactory to and initialed by KCDA
and the Client. If KCDA makes payment for a Change Order
or an Application for Payment that contains a reservation of
rights not initialed by KCDA and the Client to indicate
agreement with the reservation, and if the Contractor
negotiates the check for such payment, then the reservation of
rights shall be deemed waived, withdrawn, and of no effect.
15.8 Retainage.
15.8.1 Proeress Payments:
.1 Pursuant to RCW 60.28. KCDA will reserve 5%
from the moneys the Contractor earns on estimates

construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to
other obligations which the Contractor might have under the
Contract Documents. Establishment of the time period of one
year as described above relates only to the specific obligation
of the Contractor to correct the Work and has no relationship
