3.11.4 When Shop Drawings cannot be made from actual dimensions taken from the Work but are prepared from the Preliminary Design Documents, it is distinctly understood that the Design-Builder is responsible for the accuracy of the information on which such drawings are prepared, for the City does not vouch for their ac curacy, but will make available to the Design-Builder information upon which such plans were made.
3.11.5 It is definitely underst ood that the Engineer's approval of the Shop Drawings is for the design only and not for dimensions or structural accuracy, but will make available to Design-Builder information upon which such plans were made.
3.11.6 Any material ordered by the Design-Builder prior to the approval of Shop Drawings, shall be at his own r isk. The Engineer shall have th e right to keep Shop Drawings submitted for approval two (2) weeks before returning to the Design-Builder with corrections or approval, and no claim for delay on this account shall be recognized.

5. SUBCONTRACTORS, SU PPLIERS AND CONSULTANTS
5.1 SUBCONTRACTING ACT
5.1.1 The Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act, Sec tions 4100 et seq. of the California Public Contract Code (“Subcontracting Act”) requires Persons bidding on public works contracts to identify cert ain major Subcontractors as par t of their bids. The City recognizes that because a design-build contract may be awarded prior to the completion of the design, it is often impracti cable for the design-build enti ty to list all Subcontractors during the design and procurement phase of the Work. As a resu lt, the Subcontractor listing requirements contained in the Subcontracting Act can cr eate a conflict with the implementation of the design-build process by requiring all Subcontractors to be listed at a time when a sufficient set of plans may not be available. The City recognizes that certain Subcontractors can only be selected by the Design-Builder after a certain amount of design work is completed. Therefore, the City has postponed Design-Bu ilder’s obligation to identify certain Subcontractors, subject to Design-Builder’s co mpliance with the Subcontractor selection policy set forth in this Article 5. Al l Subcontractors shall be afforded the protections contained in the Subcontracting Act.
5.1.2 Design-Builder shall comply with the Subcontracting Act and Chapter 10.06 of the Anaheim Municipal Code when Design-Builder selects a Subcontractor for a Work Order Package. Design-Builder agrees that any Subcontractor not identified within the Proposal who will perform Work or labor o r render Service in the perform ance of a Work Order Package in the amount exceeding ½ of 1% of the difference between the Total of the Work Order Package Price and the amount allocated to Design Services, shall be submitted to the City for approval prior to the execution of any subcontract. Unless waived in writing by the City, Design-Builder shall submit to the City for approval its final list of Subcontractors no later than Design Documents being 50% complete. Once a Subcontractor approved by the City has been selected for any such Work, Design-Builder shall not have the right to make any substitution of such Subcontractor except in accordance with the provisions of the Subcontracting Fair Practices Act, Public Contract Code §§ 4100, et seq. The Engineer shall serve as the hearing officer for the purposes of any hear ing dealing with the substitution of a subcontractor.
5.2 OBJECTION
Design-Builder shall not employ any subcontractor, engineer, supplier or other individual or entity against whom City may hav e reasonable objection. Design -Builder shall not be required to employ any subcont ractor, engineer, supplier or oth er individual or entity to furnish or perform any of the Work against whom Design-Builder has reasonable objection.
5.3 RESPONSIBILITY
Design-Builder shall be fully responsible to City for all acts and omissions of the subcontractors, engineers, supp liers and other individuals or e ntities performing or furnishing any of the Work under a direct or indirect contract with Design-Builder. Nothing in the Contract Documents shall create for the benefit of any such subcontractor, engineer, supplier or other individual or entity any contractual relationship between City and any such subcontractor, engineer, supplier or other individual or entity , nor shall it create any obligation on the part of City to pay or to see to subcontractor, engineer, supplier or other individual or entity except as may otherwise be required by laws and regulations.
5.4 COORDINATION
Design-Builder shall be solely responsible for scheduling and coordinating subcontractors, engineers, suppliers and other individuals and entities performing or furnishing any of the Work under direct or indirect contract with Design-Builder. Design-Builder shall require all subcontractors, engineers, suppliers and such other individuals and entities performing or furnishing any of the Work to communicate with the City through Design-Builder.
5.5 SUBCONTRAC T AGREEMENTS
All Services performed or provi ded to and material and equipmen t supplied to Design- Builder by a Subcontractor or Supplier will be pursuant to an a ppropriate design sub- agreement or construction sub-agreement between Design-Builder and the Subcontractor, engineer or supplier which specifically binds the Subcontractor, engineer or supplier to the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents for the benefit of City. City shall have the right but not the obligation to review and accept the form and substance of Design-Builder’s agreements with Subcontractors. Whenever any such agreement is with a Subcontractor, engineer or supplier who is listed as an additional insured on the property insurance provided for herein, the agreem ent between the Design-Builder a nd the Subcontractor, engineer or supplier will contain provisions whereby the Subcontractor, engineer or supplier waives all rights against City, D esign-Builder, City’s consultants and all other additional insureds for all losses and damages caused by any of the perils or causes of loss covered by such policies and any other property insurance applicable to the Work. If the insurers on any such policies require separate waiver forms to be signed by any subcontractor, engineer or supplier, Design-Builder shall obtain the same.
5.6 ASSIGNMENT
Each subcontract agreement for a portion of the Work is assigned by the Design-Builder to the City provided that assignment is effective only after termi nation of the Work Order Package or Contract by the City and only for those subcontract agreements which the City accepts by notifying the Subcontractor in writing. Said assignments are subject to the prior
rights of the sureties obligated on the bonds relating to this Agreement. Each subcontract shall specifically provide that the City shall only be responsi ble to the Subcontractor for those obligations of the Design-Builder that accrue subsequent to the City's exercise of any rights under this contingent assignment.
6. PAYMENTS TO SUBCONTRACTOR S AND STOP NOTICE CLAIMS
6.1 PROMPT PAYMENT
Design-Builder shall make prompt payment to its Subcontractors and Suppliers within ten (10) Days after receipt of payment from City.
6.2 STOP NOTICE CLAIMS
If at any time there shall be evidence of the existence, whethe r or not same has been asserted, of any stop notice or claim arising out of or in connection with the performance or default in performance of a Wor k Order Package or any subcontra ct or supply contract entered into by Design-Builder to perform this Work Order Package, and if the City might become liable for the discharge or satisfaction of such stop notice or claim, then City shall have the right to retain out o f any payment then due or thereaf ter to become due, in addition to amounts for retainage and as otherwise set forth in Article 9 herein, an amount of one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) to discharge such stop notice or satisfy such claim and to reimburse the City and the representatives of City for all costs and expenses in connection therewith, including attorneys fees. Further, the City, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to discharge or satisfy such stop notice or claim and pay all costs and expenses in connection therewith if the Design-Builder does not have such stop notice or claim discharged, bonded, or satisfied within ten (10) Days after receiving notice thereof from City, or unless some other procedure for discharge or satisfaction of such stop notice or claim is agreed upon between City and Design-Builder. If the amounts retained by City are insufficient for the aforesaid purposes, or if such stop notice or claim remains undischarged or unsatisfied after all payments have been made to Design-Builder, then the Design-Builder shall refund to the City all monies that may hav e been paid to discharge such lien or satisfy such claims, including costs, expenses and attorneys fees in connection therewith.
7. CHANGES IN THE WORK
7.1 CHANGES
The City may order extra work or make changes by altering, adding to, or deducting from Work, the Work Order Package Price being adjusted accordingly. All changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Contract Documents. Design-Builder shall proceed promptly to perform the change unless otherwise directed in writing by the City. In giving instructions, t he Engineer shall have authority to make minor Changes in Work not involving change in cost or time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents. Otherwise, except in an emergency endangering life or property, no extra work or change shall be made except in pursuance of a wri tten Change Notice, Change Order or Time and Material Change Order issued by the Ci ty, and no claim for addition to contract sum shall be valid unless so ordered.
7.2 AUTHORITY TO ORDER CHANGES
7.2.1 No change sha ll be made nor extra work done except with the prior approval thereof by the Engineer and in a conformity with the provisions of this Article. Minor changes in the Work that involve no extra cost, may be approved, authorized and ordered by the Engineer. Except as required by applicable City law, th e City's Public Works Director may execute any order for changes and/or extra work for a Work Order Package provided the accumulated sum of this and all previous Change Orders do not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Work Order Package Price. Any amounts abov e the foregoing will follow the approval process set forth in City law.
7.2.2 Design-Builder shall undertake, at its risk work included in any oral request, order, Change Notice, Change Order or Time and Material Change Order issued by a Person in excess of that Person’s authority as provided herein. Any work performed by the Design- Builder beyond the lines and grades shown on the Contract Documents or any extra work performed or provided by the Des ign-Builder wit hout notice to t he Engineer shall be considered unauthorized and at the sole expense of the Design-Builder. Work so done will not be measured or paid for and no extension of Work Order Pack age Deadline will be granted on account thereof. Any such work may be ordered remov ed at the Design- Builder’s sole cost and expense. The failure of the City to direct or order removal of such Work shall not constitute acceptance or approval of the work nor relieve the Design-Builder from any liability on account thereof.
7.3 CITY INITIATE D CHANGE NOTICE
7.3.1 City may issue a Change Notice, in writing, to the Design-Builder, describing a proposed Change to the Work and requesting the Design-Builder t o submit a Change Proposal, in a format acceptable to City, within fifteen (15) Days after City’s issuance of the Change Notice. The Change Propos al shall include an analysis o f impacts to cost and time, if any, to perform the extra work, or delete Work, as applicable, including the effects and impacts, if any, on unchanged Work, estimates of costs (bro ken down by the categories listed in Section 7.5 herein relating to change of the Work Order Package Price) and Design-Builder’s proposed methods to minimize costs, delay and disruption to the performance of the Work. If Design-Builder fails to submit a Change Proposal within such period of time, it shall be presumed that the Change described in the Change Notice will not result in an increase to the Work Order Package Price or Wo rk Order Package Deadline and the Change shall performed by D esign-Builder without such increases. A Change Notice does not authorize the Design-Builder to commence performance of the changed work, unless otherwise specified in the Change Notice.
7.3.2 If the Parties reach agreem ent on the cost of pricing such change, a Change Order will be issued. If the Parties do not agree on all terms for performance or compensation of the change, City will issue a unilateral Time and Material Change Order.
7.4 DESIGN-BUILDER INITIA TED CHANGE ORDER REQUEST
If the Design-Builder believes that written instructions or directions issued after the award of a Work Order Package will increase Work Order Package project c osts or delivery and
Design-Builder desires to adjust the Work Order Package Price o r Work Order Package Deadline for such an alleged event, the Design-Builder must sub mit a Change Order Request (“COR”) to the Engineer in writing, in a format acceptable to City, and must specify
the reasons for such change, inclu ding relevant circumstances a nd impacts on the schedule. Design-Builder shall submit a Change Proposal concurrently with the COR. The Design-Builder may request additional compensation and/or time through a COR; provided that Design-Builder shall submit such request or COR to the Engineer no later than ten (10) business days from the issuance or occurrence of the City’s written instruction or direction.
No action or inaction of the Cit y shall waive the foregoing Des ign-Builder notification requirements. Design-Builder’s failure to initiate a COR within such period shall be deemed a waiver of the right to adjustment of the Work Order Package P rice or the Work Order Package Deadline for the allege d Change. Any COR that is appro ved by City will be incorporated by a Change Notice, Change Order, or Time and Material Change Order. If the Engineer determines that the Work in question is not a Change, the Engineer will issue a Work Directive, ordering the Design-Builder to proceed with the Work without delay. If the COR is denied but the Design-Builder believes that it does have merit, the Design- Builder may submit a Claim in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
7.5 CHANGE ORDER
Definition. A Change Order is a written order implementing Changes in the Work for which adjustments to the Work Order Package Price and Work Order Package Deadline, if any, have been agreed upon by the parties, prior to the issuance of the Change Order either in the context of a City-initiated Change Notice or a Design-Builder-initiated COR. A Change Order shall be issued by the Engineer and expressly indicates t he intention to treat the items described therein as c hanges in the Work. A Change Order must be issued and signed by the Engineer before any work is started on the items covered by the order.
7.5.1 Determination of Costs. The Work Order Package Price may only be changed by a Change Order or a Time and Material Change Order. The value of any Work covered by a Change Order or of any claim for an increase or decrease in the Work Order Package Price shall be determined in one of the following ways:
a. Lump Sum Method. Acceptable lu mp sum proposal from Design-Bu ilder properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating da ta to permit evaluation.
Estimates for lump sum proposals shall be limited to direct exp enditures necessitated specifically by the subject extra work. In addition, the Design-Builder and Subcontractor will be paid a lump sum for overhead, profit, and bond. Supervision of the extra work shall be included in the lump sum per centage for overhead. For added or omitted work by Subcontractors, the Design-Builder shall furnish to the City th e Subcontractor's detailed estimate of the cost for labor, material, and equipment, includ ing the markup by the Subcontractor for overhead and profit. Such estimate of cost s hall be signed by the Subcontractor. The same require ment shall apply to any Sub-sub contractor or material supplier.
b. Time and Material Method. Direct cost of the Work for labor , material, and equipment rental plus markups for overhead and profit for Gener al Design-Builder, Subcontractor, and Sub-subcontractors as applicable. (Supervis ion is to be included in markup unless specifically agreed to in advance that special supervision is required.)

h. TOTAL CHANGE ORDER REQUEST
(Lines f + g) ____________
7.5.3 Final Agreement. Agreem ent on any Change Order shall constitute a final
settlement of all matters relating to the direct and indirect cost and time of performance of Change in the Work which is the subject of the Change Order including, but not limited to, all direct and indirect costs associated with such Change and any and all adjustments to the Work Order Package Price and Work Order Package Deadline. The execution of a Change Order constitutes a mutual accord and satisfaction of th e compensation for the Change and Design-Builder specifically waives and release any a nd all claims, rights or interest, including but not limited to those for delay, impact, disruption, acceleration, loss of efficiency or other extraordinary or consequential costs arising directly or indirectly out of the Work described in the Change Order. There shall be no reservation of rights by either party on a Change Order.
7.5.4 Design-Builder’s Overhead Profit. Extra work ordered on the basis of time and materials will be paid for at the actual necessary cost as determined by the Engineer, plus allowances for overhead and profit. The allowance for overhead and profit will include full compensation for superintendence, taxes, field office expense, extended overhead, home office overhead, and all other items of expense or cost not inc luded in the cost of labor, materials, or equipment provided for under Section 7.5. The allowance for overhead and profit will be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5.
7.5.5 It is understood that labor, materials, and equipment for extra work may be furnished by the Design-Builder or by the Subcontractor of the Design-Builder. When all or any part of the extra work is performed by a Subcontractor, the allowance specified herein will be applied to the labor, materials, and equipment costs of the Sub contractor, to which the Design-Builder may add five per cent (5%) of the Subcontractor's total cost for the extra work. Regardless of the number of hierarchical tiers of Subcon tractors, the five percent (5%) increase above the Subcontractor's total cost which includ es the allowances for overhead and profit specified herein may be applied one time only.
7.6 EXCLUDED COSTS

e. Other overhead or general expense costs of any kind and the cost of any item not specifically and expressly included in Section 7.5.
7.7 ALLOWABLE COST BASIS
7.7.1 For the purpose of evaluating and approving proposed Change Order costs, the City will use as its basis the latest edition of the Means Building Construction Cost Data Book Western Edition. No other cost data books or manuals will be considered. The maximum allowable cost for Change Orders resulting in additions to the Work Order Package Price shall not exceed the cost of the Work identified in the Means Cost Data Book, not including Design-Builder's overhead and profit, and bond as set forth els ewhere within this Agreement or a Work Order Package.
7.8 AUDIT RIGHTS
7.8.1 Design-Builder shall keep a correct and current accounting of payroll costs, travel, subsistence, field and incidental expenses.
7.8.2 Design-Builder shall use recognized accounting methods in preparing such invoices and reports. City reserves the right to designate its own employee representative(s) or its contracted representative(s) with a certified public accounting firm who shall have the right to audit Design-Builder's accounting procedures and internal controls of Design-Builder's financial systems and to examine any cost, revenue, payment, claim, other records or supporting documentation resulting from any items set forth in a Work Order Package. If Design-Builder fails to provide supporting documentation satisfactory to City for any costs charged City, then Design-Builder agrees that City may delete such items from the invoice or Design-Builder shall reimburse City for those costs. Any such audit(s) shall be undertaken by City or its representative(s) at reasonable times and in conformance with generally accepted auditing standards. Design-Builder agrees to fully cooperate with any such audit(s).
7.8.3 This right to audit shall extend during the length of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years, or longer if required by law, following the date of final payment under this Agreement. Design-Builder agrees to retain all necessary records/documentation for the entire length of this audit period.

Any adjustments and/or pa yments which must be made as a result of any such audit or inspection of Design-Builder's invoices and/or records shall be made within thirty (30) Days from presentation of City's findings to Design-Builder.
If Design-Builder fails to make such payment, Design-Builder ag rees to pay interest, accruing monthly, at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum unless another section of this Agreement specifies a higher rate of interest, then the higher rate will prevail. Interest will be computed from the date of written notification of exception( s) to the date Design-Builder
reimburses City for any exception(s). If an audit inspection or examination in accordance
with this article discloses overcharges (of any nature) by Design-Builder to City in excess of one percent (1%) of the value of that portion of the contract t hat was audited, the actual cost of City's audit shall be reimbursed to City by Design-Builder. Design-Builder reserves the right to contest any exception.
7.8.5 Design-Builder shall include a similar clause in its agreements with Subcontractors reserving the right to designate its own employee representativ es from a certified public accounting firm, and/or representative(s) from City, who shall have the right to audit and to examine any cost, payment, settlement or other supporting documentation resulting from any item set forth in its agreements.
7.9 DEDUCTION FROM WORK
The amount of credit to be allow ed by the Design-Builder to the City for a deletion or change that results in a net decrease in the contract sum shall be actual net cost. When both additions and credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of net increase, if any, with respect to that change.
7.10 DESIGN-BUILDER AND SURETIES BOUND
Any changes or extra work hereunder shall be a part of and subject to all the provisions of the Contract Documents and the Design-Builder, and his Sureties shall be bound thereby and to the same extent as under the original Contract Documents.
7.11 TIME AND MATERIAL CHANGE ORDER (TMCO)
7.11.1 If it be impossible or impracticable to ascertain the total cost of changes in the Work to be done before such work is begun, or if no agreement can be reached on changes in the Work and additions to the Work Order Package Price, then a TMCO shall be issued unilaterally by the Engineer instructing the Design-Builder to do the Work, indicating expressly and unmistakably the intention to treat the items as changes in the Work, setting forth the kind, character and limits of the Work as far as can be ascertained, the terms under which changes to the Work Order Package Price will be det ermined and the estimated total change in Work Order Package Price anticipated thereunder. The TMCO shall be fully executed by City. Such TMCO will become the basis for the Change Order when the amounts of adjustment to the Work Order Package Price can be determined and the prior approval of the TMCO will be considered necessary authority within the limits of the estimated change in Work Order Package Price. Without additional authority, no costs exceeding the estimated amount will be paid.
7.11.2 The Design-Builder shall maintain records sufficient to distinguish the direct cost of TMCO Work from the cost of other operations. The Design-Builder shall furnish daily, on forms approved by City, reports o f TMCO Work. The reports shal l itemize all costs for labor, materials, and equipment r ental and give a total of cost s to date for the Time & Material Work. The reports shall include hours worked, rates o f pay, names and classifications. The reports shall include equipment size, type, identification number, rental rate, and hours of operation. All records and reports shall be made immediately available to the Engineer upon request. The cost of furnishing such repo rts shall be included in Design-Builder's overhead and fee percentages.
7.11.3 All time and material reports shall be signed by the Des ign-Builder or authorized representative, and witnessed by City’s inspector each and every Work day. The Engineer will compare the Engineer's records with the Design-Builder's reports, make the necessary adjustments and compile the costs of time and material Work. W hen such reports are agreed upon and signed by both parties, they will become the basis of payment.
7.11.4 Construction Equipment compensation shall not be allowed while it is inoperative due to breakdown. Except as other wise specified in this Sectio n 7.11.4, time will be computed in half and full hours. In computing the time for use of Construction equipment, less than thirty-one (31) minutes shall be considered one-half hour. Costs for Construction equipment on standby shall be limited to the sum of the hourly overhead and depreciation rates for eight (8) hours per tw enty-four (24) hour period, acc rued after the construction equipment is idle for sixteen (16) hours in a twenty-four (24) hour period.
7.11.5 City may authorize and approve payment for necessary services and expenditures other than labor, materials, and equipment rentals.
7.11.6 Materials, equipment rent al and other costs shall be sub stantiated by vendors' invoices submitted with the current reports; or, if not then available, shall be submitted with subsequent reports. If vendors' invoices are not submitted within 30 Days after completion of the Time & Material Work or if in the opinion of the Enginee r the cost of materials is excessive, then the cost of such items shall be deemed to be the lowest current wholesale prices at which the items are available in the quantities required, delivered to the Site, less cash or trade discounts.
7.11.7 Labor costs, overhead and profit and Design-Builder's fee percentages shall conform to that specified in the Section entitled Change Orders herein.
7.12 FORCE ACCOUNT WORK
If no agreement can be reached on Changes in the Work and adjus tment of the Work Order Package Price or Work Order Package Deadline, or the Design-Builder refuses to accept a Change Notice, Change Order, or Time and Material Change Order, the City shall have the right to have the Work in question done by Persons other than the Design-Builder.
8. TIME
8.1 EXTRAORDINA RY MEASURES
8.1.1 In the event the City dete rmines that the performance of the Work, as of a Milestone Date, has not progressed or reac hed the level of completion req uired by the Contract Documents, the City shall have t he right to order the Design-Bu ilder to take corrective measures necessary to expedite the progress of construction, including, without limitation, (1) working additional shifts or overtime, (2) supplying additional manpower, equipment, and facilities and (3) submitting a Recovery Schedule for re-sequencing performance of the Work or other similar measures (hereinafter referred to collect ively as Extraordinary Measures). Such Extraordinary M easures shall continue until th e progress of the Work complies with the stage of completion required by the Contract Documents. The City's right to require Extraordinary Measures is solely for the purpose of ensuring the Design-Builder's compliance with the Project Schedule.
1) The Design-Builder shall not be entitled to an adjustment in a Work Order Package Price in connection with the Extraordinary Measures required by the City under or pursuant to this Article 8.
2) The City may exercise the ri ghts furnished the City under or pursuant to this Article 8 as frequently as the City deems necessary to ensure t hat the Design-Builder's performance of the Work will comply with the Work Order Package Deadline, any Milestone Date or completion date set for th in the Contract Documents.
8.1.2 If the Design-Builder's P roject Schedule shows completion of the Work in advance of the Work Order Package Deadli ne, the Design-Builder agrees that in the event actual completion occurs, for any reason, after the completion date sp ecified in the Design- Builder's Project Schedule but within the Work Order Package Deadline, the Design-Builder shall not be entitled to and waives any claim against the City for delay, disruption or impact costs or damages including, without limitation claims for exten ded general conditions, home-office overhead, job-site overhead and management or administrative costs.
8.2 TIME EXTENSIONS
8.2.1If the critical path of the Work is delayed at any time in the progress of the Work by the Non-Compensable Delays defined in the Agreement, and did not result from the acts of the Design-Builder, and provided furt her that the Design-Builder ha s taken reasonable precautions to prevent further delays owing to such causes, then the Work Order Package Deadline shall be extended by Change Order. The Design-Builder agrees that the extension of time granted under this Article 8 shall be its sole and exclusive remedy for the consequences of any delay described above.
8.2.2 Any claim for extension of time shall be made in writing to the City not more than ten (10) Days after the commencement of the delay. Within thirty (30) Days after such delay the Design-Builder shall furnish the City with detailed informa tion concerning the circumstances of the delay, the number of Days actually delayed, the appropriate Contract Document references, and the meas ures taken to prevent or minim ize the delay. The Design-Builder acknowledges the extreme importance of promptly notifying and thoroughly documenting any request for time extension and further specifically acknowledges that the City will suffer extreme prejudice should Design-Builder fail in any way to comply with this requirement. Failure to comply with the procedures contained within this Article 8 including the time limits established in this Section 8.2.2 shall constitute a waiver of such request.
Evidence presented by the Desi gn-Builder that the City had actu al notice of the time extension request, that the City was not prejudiced by Design-Builder's failure to comply with this requirement, and/or that the City considered Design-B uilder's request despite Design-Builder's failure to strictly comply with this provision shall not render this requirement unenforceable.
8.2.3 An extension of time will not be granted for a delay caus ed by a shortage of materials or equipment, except t he City furnished materials or equipment, unless the Design-Builder furnishes to the City documented proof that the Design-Builder has made every effort to obtain such mat erials or equipment from every k nown source within
reasonable reach of the Work. The Design-Builder shall also submit proof, in the form of network analysis data that the inability to obtain such materials when originally planned did,
in fact, cause a delay in Final Completion of the Work which could not be compensated for by revising the sequence of oper ations. Only the physical shor tage of material or equipment will be considered under these provisions as a cause for extension of time. No consideration will be given to any claim that material or equipment could not be obtained at a reasonable, practical, or economical cost, unless it is shown to the satisfaction of the Design-Builder that such material or equipment could have been obtained only at exorbitant prices, entirely inconsistent with current rates taking into account the quantities involved and the usual practices in obtaining such quantities and that such fact could not have been known or anticipated at the Work Order Package award date.
8.2.4 No extension of time wil l be granted under this Article 8 for any delay to the extent (1) that performance would have been so delayed by any Design-Builder induced causes, including, but not limited to, the fault or negligence of the D esign-Builder or its Subcontractors; or (2) for which any remedies are provided for or excluded by any other provision of the Contract Documents.
8.2.5 A Change Order will be issued to the Design-Builder withi n a reasonable period of time after approval of a request for extension of the Work Orde r Package Deadline, specifying the number of Days allowed, if any, and the new date or number of Days after the date of commencement for completion of the Work or specified portions of the Work.
8.2.6 An extension of time grant ed shall not release the Design-Builder's Surety from its obligations. Work shall continue and be carried on in accordance with all the provisions of the Contract Documents and the Agreement shall be and shall rem ain in full force and effect during the continuance and until Final Completion and Final Acceptance of the Work unless formally suspended or annulled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
8.2.7 Neither the grant of an ext ension of time beyond the date fi x e d fo r S u b s ta n ti al Completion of the Work, nor the performance and acceptance of any part of the Work or materials specified by the Work Order Package after the time sp ecified for Substantial Completion of the Work, shall be deemed to be a waiver by the C ity of the City's right to abrogate a Work Order Package for abandonment or failure to com plete within the time specified or to impose and deduct damages as may be provided.
9. PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION
9.1 PAYMENTS TO DESIGN-BUILDER
