EXHIBIT A-3 to GMP AMENDMENT

This Exhibit to the GMP Amendment dated September 13^th, 2021, shall be a modification of limited contract terms as set forth in the amended A133 and A201 executed by the parties and upon its execution shall supersede and nullify A133 EXHIBIT K- Adjustments to Contract Terms.

A133 Section 7.2.1 Delete and replace with:

§ 7.2.1 Wages or salaries of construction workers directly employed by the Construction Manager to perform the construction of the Work at the site or, with the Owner’s prior approval, at off-site workshops, at the rates set forth on the “Rate Schedule,” attached as Exhibit H Revised. Said rates shall be all inclusive of taxes, benefits of whatever kind or nature, vacation, leave, training, safety and insurance. The Construction Manager shall only be entitled to its Fee on Work performed by individuals/positions set forth on Exhibit H Revised. The Construction Manager may substitute people, as provided herein, at the positions identified on Exhibit H Revised. The Construction Manager may not add positions or individuals to positions without the prior written consent of the Owner. The rates agreed upon Rate Schedule may not be audited.

Add to A133 Section 3.2.4:

Notwithstanding anything in the Contract to the contrary, the Construction Contingency may be used for costs which are otherwise precluded as a Cost of the Work under 7.6.9, but which are incurred by Contractor in “betterment” of the Project, which, as used in section 3.2.4 of the AIA 133 Agreement, shall mean for the benefit of the Project. When such an issue arises, the Contractor shall immediately bring such to the attention of the Owner, provide a written plan for addressing the issue which may reflect Contractor’s opinion that enforcement of such claim is not practical, feasible, or in the best interest of the Project, or a plan which sets forth what commercially reasonable steps the Contractor proposes to take to recover such sums from Subcontractors, sureties or insurance, and a not-to-exceed cost. Owner agrees to review such requests on an expedited basis commensurate with the timing needed to mitigate delay and advise the Contractor in writing whether it consents to the use of Contingency in accordance with the proposed plan. Any amounts recovered at any time prior to Project close-out from responsible Subcontractors, subcontractor’s bonds or insurance shall be reimbursed to the Construction Contingency. With the exception of costs that the parties had previously agreed will not be pursued for recovery per above, any costs paid by the Owner from the Construction Contingency hereunder which have not been reimbursed shall be withheld from the Contractor’s final payment until such time as said claim is resolved following proof of Contractor’s commercially reasonable efforts to recoup same. The Owner shall make payment to the Contractor of the difference between the withheld amount and amount recovered within ten (10 ) business days of receipt of Contractor’s request with acceptable supporting documentation. If the Owner disputes the Contractor’s commercially reasonable efforts, such shall be the subject of mediation and if unresolved, a claim.

A 133 Section 11.2.2, Section 11.2.2.1 and Section 11.2.3 Delete and replace with:

§ 11.2.2 Within 10 business days of the Owner’s receipt of the Construction Manager’s final accounting for the Cost of the Work, the Owner shall commence an audit of the Cost of the Work or notify the Architect that it will not conduct an audit.

§ 11.2.2.1 If the Owner conducts an audit of the Cost of the Work, the Owner shall, within 10 business days after completion of the audit, submit a written report based upon the auditors’ findings to the Architect. The parties shall work cooperatively to exchange information during the course of the audit in order to complete it in a timely manner. § 11.2.3 The Owner’s final payment to the Construction Manager shall be made no later than 10 business days after the issuance of the Architect’s final Certificate for Payment

A133 Section 12.2 Deleted and replaced with:

§ 12.2 Binding Dispute Resolution
