5. CO MPENSATION
The cumulative total for all projects allowed pursuant to this Agreement will not exceed five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000).

dynamic by improving information flow, reducing non- productive activities, reducing rework and decreasing turnaround times. The Contractor is required to create a free web- based Procore user account(s) and utilize web -based training / tutorials (as needed) to become familiar with the system.
