work for the project or any portion thereof, the Construction Manager will establish and
submit in writing tot Owner for his approval a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP)
guaranteeing the maximum price to the Owner, for the construction cost of the project or
designated part thereof. Such Guaranteed Maximum Price will be subject to modification
for changes in the project as provided in article 4.1(e) below. Actual price paid for the
work by the Owner, however, shall be the actual cost of all or subcontracts, supply
contracts, direct labor costs, direct supervision costs and direct job costs, plus the
Construction Manager's fees or the GMP, whichever is less when the work is complete.
Invoicing shall occur monthly for completed work with 5% retainage withheld until final

with the City's General Conditions. GMP Proposals will be incorporated by reference
7
Docusign Envelope ID:65A8D10B-445D-4534-82FF-2B602F4F0366
and attached hereto as exhibits.
b) At the time of submission of a Guaranteed Maximum Price, the Construction Manager
will verify the time schedule for activities and work which were adopted and used to
determine the Construction Manager's cost of work. In addition to the cost of work, a
GMP will include an agreed upon sum as the construction contingency which is
included for the purpose of defraying the expenses due to unforeseen circumstances
relating to construction. The Construction Manager will be required to furnish
documentation evidencing expenditures charged to the contingency prior to the release
of funds by the Owner. If bids are received below the applicable line items in the GMP,
the surplus will be added to the contingency.
c) If bids are received above the applicable line item in the GMP, the deficiency will be taken
from the contingency; however, such occurrence shall not be cause to increase the GMP.
d) If bids are not received for a portion of the work at or below the applicable line item
amount in the GMP, the Construction Manager reserves the right to perform that portion
of the work as acknowledged by the Owner or negotiate for its performance for the
specified line item lump sum amount or less.
e) The increase or decrease in the Guaranteed Maximum Price resulting from a change in
the project shall be determined in one or more of the following ways:
i. By mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by
sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation by the Architect-Engineer and
Owner;
H. By unit prices stated in the agreement or subsequently agreed upon;
iii. If none of the methods is agreed upon, the Construction Manager, provided it has
received a signed written order by the Owner, shall promptly proceed with the
work involved. The cost of such work shall then be determined on the basis of
the reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the work attributed
to the change. In the event a change order is issued under these conditions,
however, the Architect-Engineer will establish an estimated cost of the work and
the Construction Manager shall not perform any work whose cost exceeds that
estimate without prior written approval by the Owner. In such case, the
Construction Manager shall keep and present, in such form as the Owner may
prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data of
the increase in the cost of the project. The amount of decrease in the Guaranteed
Maximum Price to be allowed by the Construction Manager to the Owner for any
deletion or change which results in a net decrease in cost will be the amount of
the actual net decrease;
iv. The Architect-Engineer will have authority to order minor changes in the project
not involving an adjustment in the Guaranteed Maximum Price or an extension of
the Construction Completion Date and not inconsistent with the intent of the
8
