1. Scope of Work. Owner is developing an office park on its property
-------------
located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ("Project"). The existing office
building on the Project Site is generally referred to as "Building 1." The
office building being constructed pursuant to this Contract is generally
referred to as "Building 2." Contractor shall furnish all of the labor,
materials, skill, supervision, equipment, tools, machinery, transportation, and
other facilities, services and administration necessary for the proper execution
and completion of the design and construction of a two-story, approximately
320,000 square foot office building located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇ ("Project Site") and related improvements in accordance with the plans,
outline specifications and any other materials described on Exhibit A, in
accordance with the Contract Documents, as authorized by appropriate Change
Orders, and the final plans and specifications prepared therefrom (hereinafter
referred to as the "Work"). The term "Work" in this Contract shall also include
the total architectural and engineering design of Building 2, and the
preparation of construction drawings and specifications. The design portion of
Work was authorized to commence on July 25, 1997 (▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Project Schedule
Data Date) ("Start Date").
Exhibit "A" shall reflect the scope of work to design and construct the shell,
structure, HVAC and all items to one hundred percent (100%) completion of the
first floor of Building 2, except approximately 31,840 square feet in the center
of the first floor reserved for the switch/data center (as reflected on the
design drawings) and the entire second floor (collectively referred to as
"Reserved Space"). The Reserved Space shall be finished to the extent of
life/safety items as determined by construction industry standards and the
applicable state, federal and local building codes, ordinances, and regulations.
The completed Building 2 baseline, except the Reserved Space, shall be
determined to be: (a) of equivalent or better design features, quality, labor
and materials (including quantity of materials) provided by the general
contractor of Building 1 and its subcontractors ("Baseline"), as evidenced by
the physical structure, final statement of work, specifications, and as-built
drawings, all relating to Building 1; (b) Any exceptions to the Baseline
including but not limited to those items to be performed by Owner or its
subcontractor, shall be specifically enumerated in Exhibit "A" to this Contract;
and (c) plus any exceptions or scope changes documented in a duly executed
Change Order to this Contract (collectively referred to as "Final Baseline"). If
there is a conflict among any of the aforementioned components comprising the
Final Baseline, the physical Building 1 structure shall be controlling.
The Work shall be undertaken with a standard of care, skill and workmanship
throughout, consistent with applicable industry standards in the area in which
the Project is located. Final plans and specifications will comply with all
applicable building codes, ordinances and regulations in effect and enforced as
applicable. Owner has furnished to Contractor any necessary program or design
information regarding Owner's needs or requirements for the Work for any work to
be performed by separate contractors working directly for the Owner. Contractor
shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of such information
in the design and construction of the Work.
Owner's decision in matters relating to aesthetic affect will be final if
consistent with the intent of the Construction Documents and Contract Documents.
The Construction Documents pertinent to Contractor's work have been carefully
examined by the Contractor.
2. Schedule. Upon award of the Contract, Contractor shall prepare
--------
and submit for Owner's approval a firm schedule ("Work Schedule") as it relates
to the Project schedule ("Master Project Schedule"). The Work Schedule shall
indicate the critical dates to complete the Work including but not limited to
order dates, lead times, delivery dates and completion of various stages of the
Work. The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining progress in accordance
with the Work Schedule.
Contractor shall achieve Substantial Completion of the Project no later than
July 1, 1998 ("Completion Date"). All claims for an extension of time shall be
made in writing to Owner within 15 days after the occurrence of the cause of
delay or shall be deemed waived, but in the case of a continuing cause of delay,
only one claim shall be necessary. Extensions of time include but are not
limited to extensions for each Work Day or Half Day which Contractor is not
responsible for the delay as described in paragraph 7 of this Agreement.
Substantial Completion shall be deemed to have been achieved when construction
is sufficiently complete so that Owner can utilize the Work for the purpose for
which it is intended and a certificate of occupancy (temporary or permanent) has
been issued for the Work. Time is of the essence in completion of this Project.
Owner and Contractor shall execute a Certificate of Substantial Completion
certifying the Date of Substantial Completion. As of the Date of Substantial
Completion, Owner shall assume full responsibility for all maintenance,
utilities, insurance, security and all other operational aspects of the Project.
3. Related Work. The Contractor acknowledges that Owner may award
------------
separate contracts for work related to the Project, and that Owner will
coordinate such separate work with the work of the Contractor, who shall
cooperate with such contractors.
4. Contract Price. The Owner agrees to pay the Contractor for the
--------------
full, faithful and prompt performance of this Agreement subject to all the
terms and conditions hereof, a sum of Twelve Million, One Hundred Forty-Three
Thousand, Seven Hundred and One Dollars ($12,143,701) ("Guaranteed Maximum Price
or "GMP"), comprised of the proposed Cost of Work.), subject to additions and
deductions by Change Order as provided in the Contract Documents, plus the
Contractor's Fixed Fee.
2
The Cost of Work is defined in subparagraph 7.1 of Exhibit "D". Costs which
would cause the Guaranteed Maximum Price to be exceeded shall be paid by the
Contractor without reimbursement by the Owner, and 100% of savings accrue to the
Owner. The pricing detail is reflected in Exhibit "A" to this Contract, which
includes allowances only for those items specified therein.
The Contractor's Fixed Fee is Three Hundred Twenty-Six Thousand, Three Hundred
Sixty-One Dollars ($326,361), determined as two point seventy-five percent
(2.75%) of the proposed Cost of Work, and is fixed as a lump sum amount ("Fixed
Fee"). No additional fee will be charged on changes to the GMP until the
aggregate total of Change Orders equals five percent (5%) of the GMP. Cost of
Work above this "buffer" will be subject to a fee of two point seventy-five
percent (2.75%) ("Additional Fee"). The GMP is predicated upon the Final
Baseline (as defined in paragraph 1 of this Contract), with no contingencies.
5. Subcontractors. Subcontractor pricing will be negotiated and a
--------------
mutually agreeable subcontract pricing process will be attached to and
incorporated into the Statement of Work. Contractor shall supply a list of all
subcontractors and vendors, and such list shall be timely updated.
6. Payment Terms. The Owner agrees to make payment to the Contractor in
-------------
accordance with the following terms:
Progress Payments: Contractor shall submit to Owner, on or about the first day
-----------------
of each month, an Application for Payment based on the value of the work
completed (including materials suitably stored on the site) and the Schedule of
Values set forth in Exhibit A. The Schedule of Values shall be the basis for the
allocation of the GMP to the activities shown on the Construction Schedule. If
no Schedule of Values is attached hereto, Contractor shall submit one to Owner
prior to Contractor's first Application for Payment. Upon receipt of each
Application for Payment, Owner shall have the right to inspect the Project to
confirm that Contractor's Application reflects the value of work actually
completed. If Owner discovers that the work actually completed differs from that
represented on the Application for Payment, or the work is defective or does not
comply with the requirements of the Contract, Owner may withhold such sums as it
reasonably deems necessary in light of the work actually completed until the
work is completed or the defect is remedied.
Within 15 days after receipt of each Application for Payment, Owner shall pay to
Contractor the entire amount thereof, subject to possible withholding as
provided above, except that until such time as Contractor certifies that the
Work is fifty percent (50%) complete, a retainage of ten percent (10%) of the
amount set forth in each Application for Payment shall be withheld. Subsequent
to Contractor's certification that the Work is fifty percent (50%) complete, no
additional retainage shall be withheld from such payments. No payment to
Contractor shall constitute an acceptance of any work not in accordance with the
requirements of this Contract.
Upon receipt of each payment from Owner, Contractor shall deliver to Owner its
lien waiver in the amount of such payment. If requested by Owner, prior to
receipt of the second and each
3
succeeding payment, Contractor shall deliver to Owner lien waivers from its
subcontractors and suppliers covered by the previous payment received from
Owner. Contractor's lien shall be supported by lien waivers for amounts
exceeding $5,000 from subcontractors, vendors and sub-subcontractors.
Contractor guarantees that title to all work, materials, and equipment covered
by an Application for Payment, whether incorporated into the Project or not,
will pass to Owner free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests and
encumbrances upon the receipt of such payment by Contractor.
Punch List Work. Upon Substantial Completion of the Work by Contractor,
---------------
Contractor and Owner shall jointly inspect the Work, including but not limited
to all Owner or subcontractor installed equipment which constitutes part of the
Project. If there remain "punch list" items to be completed, Contractor and
Owner shall list items and Contractor shall complete such items within 30 days
thereof, unless Contractor is unable to complete such items due to weather
conditions, unavailability of materials or other causes beyond the Contractor's
or its subcontractor's reasonable control, in which case such items shall be
completed as soon as reasonably possible.
Owner may withhold a sum equal to 150% of the estimated cost of completing any
punch list items (unfinished work). Thereafter, Owner shall pay to Contractor,
on a monthly basis, the amount withheld for unfinished items as each item is
completed. However, if such items are not completed within 120 days of
Substantial Completion, Owner may waive completion of such items in writing and
retain a sum equal to 150% of the estimated cost of completing such unfinished
work, unless Contractor is unable to complete such items due to weather
conditions, unavailability of materials, or other causes beyond the Contractor's
or its subcontractor's reasonable control, in which case such items shall be
completed as soon as possible.
Final payment. The unpaid balance of the GMP, including all sums retained
-------------
pursuant to this Contract, shall be due and payable within 15 days after
resolution of all outstanding issues. Final payment shall be made simultaneously
with the furnishing of a lien waiver from the Contractor and lien waivers from
Contractor's subcontractors and suppliers for all sums paid to Contractor.
7. Performance Incentive/Liquidated Damages. Owner will incur expenses
----------------------------------------
for housing employees in leased office facilities until the Completion Date. If
Contractor achieves Substantial Completion prior to July 1, 1998, Owner shall
pay Contractor the amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) for each Work Day,
and Two Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500) for each Half Day (two Half Days
equal a Work Day), which Substantial Completion precedes July 1, 1998
("Performance Incentive"), subject to a maximum Performance Incentive payment
totaling One Hundred, Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000). The stated calendar
date of July 1, 1998, shall not be modified concurrent with any change of the
Completion Date; however, the stated calendar date by which the Performance
Incentive is measured shall be equitably adjusted and reflected in any Change
Order to this Agreement.
If the Contractor fails to complete the Work by the Completion Date, including
failure of any Work to be in compliance with the Contract Documents, Owner may
deduct Seven Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500) from any amounts due to
Contractor from Owner, whether under
4
this Agreement or any other agreement, for each Work Day, and Owner may deduct
Three Thousand, Seventy-Five Dollars ($3,750) for each Half Day, beyond
the Completion Date until the Substantial Completion has been achieved.
The Completion Date shall be extended day for day for each Work Day or Half Day,
during the performance of this Agreement, Contractor is precluded from working
because of delays beyond Contractor's reasonable control, including but not
limited to delay of preceding work, work contracted by McLeodUSA which precludes
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or Contractor's attainment of Substantial
Completion, weather, Acts of God, fire, explosion, action by civil, governmental
or military authority, riots, and wars. However, no exceptions shall be made
for delayed or slow delivery of materials ordered by Contractor. Contractor
shall use reasonable efforts under the circumstances to avoid or remove such
causes of non-performance or delay and shall proceed to perform with reasonable
dispatch whenever such causes are removed or ceased. For the purposes of this
subparagraph, the term "Contractor" shall also include the subcontractors hired
by Contractor.
For the purpose of day for day extensions of the Completion Date and determining
any Performance Incentive or Liquidated Damages, a "Work Day" means any calendar
day, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, holidays or days when weather or other
conditions beyond the reasonable control of the Contractor which preclude
performance of the Work, and Contractor is unable to work for more than six (6)
hours during any day which would otherwise be a Work Day. However, if Contractor
is able to work at least four (4) hours, but less than six (6) hours, such day
shall be deemed a Half Day. For the purposes of this subparagraph, the term
"Contractor" shall also include the subcontractors hired by Contractor.
Contractor shall notify the Project Manager in writing of each such delay in
writing as specified in paragraph 2 of this Agreement, and the Project Manager
shall indicate the applicable extension of the Completion Date on the Master
Project Schedule. All such extensions shall be incorporated into the Contract by
Change Order upon the request of the Contractor. Such Change Orders shall
aggregate extensions granted up to and through the date of the Change Order, and
Contractor shall not request such Change Orders more frequently than twice per
month.
Although the GMP and the Completion Date are predicated upon eight (8) hour work
days, five (5) days a week, Owner may authorize, by a duly executed Change
Order, including but not limited to shift-work and overtime premiums to expedite
the Completion Date ("Expedited Completion Date"). However, unless an Expedited
Completion Date is authorized, Contractor shall remain responsible for timely
completion of the Work, and shall implement shift work and pay all shift work
and overtime premiums if required to achieve the Completion Date. Work shall be
permitted on a 24 hour day basis and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
Contractor is expected to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ the necessary forces to achieve the
Completion Date, including but not limited to, extra crews, contractors, extra
work hours, or other acceptable methods to insure completion of the Work by the
Completion Date and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
5
Whenever the Project Manager anticipates that Contractor may be subject to
Liquidated Damages, the Manager shall furnish the Contractor written notice of
such possibility at lease two (2) days prior to the accrual of Liquidated
Damages. Subsequently, Project Manager shall provide Contractor a weekly
statement indicating the number of Working Days subject to Liquidated Damages.
Should Contractor believe the statement to be inaccurate, the Contractor should
submit to the Project Manager, in writing, an objection and reasons within
ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the statement. If the Contractor fails
to submit its objection within that time, the original statement may be
considered as accurate and final.
If the amount of Liquidated Damages exceeds any amount due from Owner to
Contractor, Owner may proceed against the Contractor's performance bond, or any
other legal remedy available to Owner.
8. Supervision and Construction. Contractor shall supervise and direct
----------------------------
the Work and shall be solely responsible for all construction means, methods,
techniques, sequences and procedures for the Work, and for coordinating and

this Agreement, when and as bills or claims therefore become due, and to save,
protect and hold harmless the Project, and the Owner from all claims and
mechanics' liens on account award of this Agreement and/or performance by
Contractor of this Agreement. If any such liens are filed, Contractor shall,
within 14 days after such filing, either satisfy such lien or post a bond in an
amount equal to 150% of the amount of such lien. This provision shall not be
construed as a waiver of the right of the Contractor to file and enforce a lien
claim against the Owner in the event of the Owner's failure to pay the
Contractor.
11. Schedule Delays. No extension of time of performance of this
---------------
Agreement shall be recognized by the Owner without the written consent of the
