If Owner determines that conditions involve hazardous materials or other materials and that a change in Contract Document terms is justified, Owner will issue either a Proposal Form or Construction Change Directive under the procedures described in the Contract Documents, including without limitation Section 01 2600 (Modification Procedures and Pricing of Changed Work). If Owner determines that conditions do not involve hazardous

If Owner and Design-Build Entity are unable to agree on entitlement to or as to the amount or length of any adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time required, Design-Build Entity may make a claim as provided in Article 12 of this Document 00 7253.
In addition to the parties’ other rights under this Document 00 7253, if Design-Build Entity does not agree to resume Work based on a reasonable belief that it is unsafe, or does not agree to resume Work under special conditions, Owner may order the disputed portion of Work deleted from the Work, or performed by others, or Owner may invoke its right to terminate Design-Build Entity’s right to proceed under the Contract Documents in whole or in part, for convenience or for cause as the facts may warrant. If Design-Build Entity does not agree with Owner’s determination of any adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time as a result, Design-Build Entity may make a claim as provided in Article 12 of this Document 00 7253.
Suspension Of Work
Owner may, without cause, order Design-Build Entity in writing to suspend, delay or interrupt Work in whole or in part for such period of time as Owner may determine. An adjustment shall be made for increases in cost of performance of Work of the Contract Documents caused by any such suspension, delay or interruption, calculated using the measures set forth in Section 01 2600 (Modification Procedures and Pricing of Changed Work).
No adjustment shall be made to extent that:
1. Performance is, was or would have been so suspended, delayed or interrupted by another cause for which Design-Build Entity is responsible or otherwise not entitled to compensation under the Contract Documents; or
2. A change order is made or denied under any other provision of Contract Documents; or
3. The suspension of Work was the direct or indirect result of Design-Build Entity’s failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder. Adjustments made in cost of performance may have a mutually agreed fixed or percentage fee; if the parties cannot agree, Design-Build Entity may file a claim under Article 12 of this Document 00 7253.
If the D-BE fails to correct defective Work or persistently fails to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents the City may order the D-BE to stop the Work, or any portion thereof until the cause for such order has been eliminated. The D-BE shall bear all costs of such Work stoppage unless it is determined by the City that no fault existed in the D-BE's Work. Any Work stoppage for the correction of defective Work or removal and replacement of unacceptable materials and equipment will not be considered as the basis for any time extension.

Owner may declare Design-Build Entity in default of Contract Documents and Owner may terminate Design-Build Entity’s right to proceed under the Contract Documents for cause:
1. Should Design-Build Entity make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy; be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent; be the subject of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy which is not dismissed within 60 Days; file a petition or answer seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future statute, law, or regulation; file any answer admitting or not contesting the material allegations of a petition filed against Design-Build Entity in any such proceeding; or seek, consent to, or acquiesce in, the appointment of any trustee, receiver, custodian or liquidator of Design-Build Entity or of all or any substantial part of its properties or if Design- Build Entity, its directors or shareholders, take action to dissolve or liquidate Design- Build Entity; or
2. Should Design-Build Entity commit a material breach of the Contract Documents. If Owner declares Design-Build Entity in default due to material breach, however, Owner must allow Design-Build Entity an opportunity to cure such breach within ten Days of the date of notice from Owner to Design-Build Entity providing notice of the default; or, if such breach is curable but not curable within such ten-Day period, within such period of time as is reasonably necessary to accomplish such cure. (In order for Design-Build Entity to avail itself of a time period in excess of ten Days, Design-Build Entity must provide Owner within the ten-Day period with a written plan acceptable to Owner to cure said breach which includes, for example, evidence of necessary resources, Subcontractor commitments, schedules and recovery schedules meeting Contract Document requirements and showing a realistic and achievable plan to cure the breach. Design-Build Entity must then diligently commence and continue such cure according to the written plan); or
3. Should Design-Build Entity violate or allow (by a Subcontractor or other person or entity for which Design-Build Entity is responsible) a violation of any valid law, statute, regulation, rule, ordinance, permit, license or order of any governmental agency applicable to the Project or Work and does not cure (or cause to be cured) such violation within ten Days of the date of the notice from Owner to Design-Build Entity demanding such cure; or, if such violation is curable but not curable within such ten-Day period, within such period of time as is reasonably necessary to accomplish such cure. (In order for Design-Build Entity to avail itself of a time period in excess of ten Days, Design-Build Entity shall provide Owner within the ten-Day period with a written plan to cure said violation acceptable to Owner, and then diligently commence and continue performance of such cure according to the written plan.)
If Owner at any time reasonably believes that Design-Build Entity is or may be in default under the Contract Documents as provided above, Owner may in its sole discretion notify Design-Build Entity of this fact and request written assurances from Design-Build Entity of performance of Contract Documents and a written plan from Design-Build Entity to remedy any potential default under the terms of Contract Documents which Owner may advise Design-Build Entity of in writing. Design-Build Entity shall, within 10 Days of Owner’s request, deliver a written cure plan which meets the requirements of the written plan

deliverable under this subparagraph above. Failure of Design-Build Entity to provide such written assurances of performance and the required written plan, within ten Days of request, will constitute a material breach of Contract Documents sufficient to justify termination for cause.
In event of termination for cause, Owner will immediately serve written notice thereof upon Surety and Design-Build Entity. Surety shall have the rights and obligations set forth in Document 00 6113.13 (Construction Performance Bond). Subject to the Surety’s rights under the Performance Bond (which rights are waived upon a default thereunder), Owner may take over the Work and prosecute it to completion by contract or by any other methods it may deem advisable.
In the event of termination by Owner:
1. Owner will compensate Design-Build Entity for the value of the Work delivered to Owner upon termination as determined in accordance with the Contract Documents, subject to all rights of offset and back charges, and provided that Design-Build Entity provides Owner with updated as-builts and Project Record Documents showing the Work performed up to the date of termination. However, Owner will not compensate Design-Build Entity for its costs in terminating the Work or any cancellation charges owed to third parties.
2. Design-Build Entity shall deliver to Owner possession of the Work in its then condition including, but not limited to, all designs, architectural and engineering, Project records, Project Record Documents, cost data of all types, Bridging Documents and contracts with vendors and Subcontractors, all other documentation associated with the Project, and all construction supplies and aids dedicated solely to performing the Work which, in the normal course of construction, would be consumed or only have salvage value at the end of the construction period. Design- Build Entity shall remain fully liable for the failure of any Work completed and materials and equipment provided through the date of such termination to comply with the provisions of the Contract Documents. The provisions of this subparagraph shall not be interpreted to diminish any right which Owner may have to claim and recover damages for any breach of Contract Documents or otherwise, but rather, Design-Build Entity shall compensate Owner for all loss, cost, damage, expense, and/or liability suffered by Owner as a result of such termination and failure to comply with Contract Documents.
3. Owner’s rights under this paragraph shall be specifically enforceable to the greatest extent permitted by law. Owner shall, to the extent applicable, have all other rights and remedies set forth in the Contract Documents.
Owner may terminate portions or parts of the Work for cause, provided these portions or parts (1) have separate geographic areas from parts or portions of the Work not terminated or (2) are limited to the work of one or more specific trades or Subcontractors. In such case, Design-Build Entity shall cooperate with a completing Design-Build Entity as required under Article 6 of this Document 00 7253.
In the event a termination for cause is later determined to have been made wrongfully or without cause, then the termination shall be treated as a termination for convenience, and Design-Build Entity shall have the recovery rights as specified below. Any Design-Build

Entity claim arising out of a termination for cause, however, shall be made in accordance with Article 12 of this Document 00 7253. No other loss cost, damage, expense or liability may be claimed, requested or recovered by Design-Build Entity.
Termination Of Contract For Convenience
Owner may terminate performance of the Work under the Contract Documents for convenience in accordance with this clause in whole, or from time to time in part, whenever Owner shall determine that termination is in Owner’s best interest. Termination shall be effected by Owner delivering to Design-Build Entity notice of termination specifying the extent to which performance of the Work under the Contract Documents is terminated and the effective date of the termination.
After receiving a notice of termination for convenience, and except as otherwise directed by Owner, Design-Build Entity shall:
1. Stop Work under the Contract Documents on date and to extent specified in notice of termination;
2. Place no further orders or subcontracts for materials, services, or facilities except as necessary to complete portion of Work under the Contract Documents which is not terminated;
3. Terminate all orders and subcontracts to extent that they relate to performance of Work terminated by the notice of termination;
4. Assign to Owner in manner, at times, and to extent directed by Owner, all right, title, and interest of Design-Build Entity under orders and subcontracts so terminated.
Owner shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to settle or pay any or all claims arising out of termination of orders and subcontracts;
5. Settle all outstanding liabilities and all claims arising out of such termination of orders and subcontracts, with approval or ratification of Owner to extent Owner may require. Owner’s approval or ratification shall be final for purposes of this paragraph;
6. Transfer title to Owner, and deliver in the manner, at the times, and to the extent, if any, directed by Owner, all fabricated or unfabricated parts, Work in process, completed Work, supplies, and all other material produced as part of, or acquired in connection with performance of, Work terminated by the notice of termination, and completed or partially completed drawings, drawings, specifications, information, and other property which, if the Project had been completed, would have been required to be furnished to Owner;
7. Use its best efforts to sell, in manner, at times, to extent, and at price or prices that Owner directs or authorizes, any property of types referred to in this subparagraph, but Design-Build Entity shall not be required to extend credit to any purchaser, and may acquire any such property under conditions prescribed and at price or prices approved by Owner. Proceeds of transfer or disposition shall be applied to reduce payments to be made by Owner to Design-Build Entity under the Contract Documents or shall otherwise be credited to the price or cost of Work covered by Contract Documents or paid in such other manner as Owner may direct;

8. Complete performance of the part of the Work which was not terminated by the notice of termination; and
9. Take such action as may be necessary, or as Owner may direct, to protect and preserve all property related to Contract Documents which is in Design-Build Entity’s possession and in which Owner has or may acquire interest.
After receipt of a notice of termination for convenience under this subparagraph, Design- Build Entity shall submit to Owner its termination claim, in form and with all certifications required by Article 12 of this Document 00 7253. Design-Build Entity’s termination claim shall be submitted promptly, but in no event later than 6 months from effective date of the termination. Design-Build Entity and Owner may agree upon the whole or part of the amount or amounts to be paid to Design-Build Entity because of a total or partial termination of Work. If Design-Build Entity and Owner fail to agree on the whole amount to be paid to Design-Build Entity because of the termination for convenience of the Work under this subparagraph, Owner’s total liability to Design-Build Entity by reason of the termination shall not exceed the total (without duplication of any items) of:
1. The reasonable cost to Design-Build Entity, without profit, for all Work performed prior to the effective date of the termination, including Work done to secure the Project for termination. Reasonable cost may not exceed the applicable percentage completion values derived from the progress schedule and the schedule of values.
Deductions shall be made for cost of materials to be retained by Design-Build Entity, cost of Work defectively performed, amounts realized by sale of materials, and for other appropriate credits against cost of Work. Reasonable cost will include reasonable allowance for Project overhead and general administrative overhead not to exceed a total of ten percent of direct costs of such Work. When, in Owner’s opinion, the cost of any item of Work is excessively high due to costs incurred to remedy or replace defective or rejected Work, reasonable cost to be allowed will be the estimated reasonable cost of performing the Work in compliance with requirements of Contract Documents and excessive actual cost shall be disallowed.
2. A reasonable allowance for profit on cost of Work performed as determined under this subparagraph, provided that Design-Build Entity establishes to Owner’s satisfaction that Design-Build Entity would have made a profit had the Project been completed, and provided further that the profit allowed shall not exceed 5 percent of cost.
3. Reasonable costs to Design-Build Entity of handling material returned to vendors, delivered to Owner or otherwise disposed of as directed by Owner.
4. A reasonable allowance for Design-Build Entity’s internal administrative costs in preparing termination claim.
5. Except as provided in this subparagraph, Owner shall not be liable for costs incurred by Design-Build Entity or Subcontractors after receipt of a notice of termination.
Such non-recoverable costs include, but are not limited to, anticipated profits on Work not performed as of the date of termination, post-termination employee salaries, post-termination general administrative expenses, post-termination overhead or unabsorbed overhead, costs of preparing and submitting Design-Build Entity’s Proposal, attorney’s fees of any type, and all costs relating to prosecution of claim or lawsuit.

6. Owner shall have no obligation to pay Design-Build Entity under this subparagraph unless and until Design-Build Entity provides Owner with updated and acceptable as-builts and Project Record Documents for Work completed prior to termination.
In arriving at the amount due Design-Build Entity under this clause, there shall be deducted in whole (or in the appropriate part[s] if the termination is partial):

1. The assignment is effective only after Owner’s termination of Design-Build Entity’s right to proceed under the Contract Documents (or portion thereof relating to that Subcontract or Designer) for cause or for convenience, under Document 00 7253.
2. The Assignment is effective only for the Subcontracts and Design agreements which Owner expressly accepts by notifying the Subcontractor or Designer in writing;
3. The assignment is subject to the prior rights, if any, of the Surety, obligated by Document 00 6113.13 (Construction Performance Bond) provided under the Contract Documents, where the Surety exercises its rights to complete the Contract;
4. After the effectiveness of an assignment, Design-Build Entity shall, at its sole cost and expense, sign all instruments and take all actions reasonably requested by Owner to evidence and confirm the effectiveness of the assignment in Owner; and
5. Nothing in this paragraph shall modify or limit any of Design-Build Entity’s obligations to Owner arising from acts or omissions occurring before the effectiveness of any Subcontract or Design agreement assignment, including but not limited to all defense, indemnity and hold-harmless obligations arising from or related to the assigned Subcontract or Design agreement.

In any proceeding to enforce the Contract Documents, Design-Build Entity and Owner agree that the finder of fact shall receive detailed instructions on the meaning and operation of the Contract Documents, including their conditions, limitations of liability and remedies clauses, claims procedures and any other provisions impacting major defenses and theories of liability of the parties. Detailed findings of fact shall be requested, to verify Contract enforcement.

Except as noted specifically in Bridging Documents, whenever in Bridging Documents, material or process is designated by patent or proprietary name or by name of manufacturer, such designation shall be deemed to be used for purpose of facilitating description of material and process desired, and shall be deemed to be followed by the words “or equal.” Design-Build Entity may offer any substitute material or process that Design-Build Entity considers equal in every respect to that so designated and if material or process offered by Design-Build Entity is, in opinion of Owner, equal in every respect to that so designated, its use will be approved. However, Design-Build Entity may utilize this right only by timely submitting Document 00 6325 (Substitution Request Form) as provided in Document 00 0119 (Instructions to Proposers), or as otherwise provided in Contract Documents. A substitution will be approved only if it is a true “equal” item in every aspect of its design and quality, including but not limited to its dimensions, weights, service requirements, durability, functioning, impact on contiguous construction elements, overall schedule and design.

Owner shall have the right to distribute, copy or to cause the distribution and copying of such Construction Documents to third parties as may reasonably be necessary in connection with the Project.
Any and all artwork, copy, posters, billboards, photographs, videotapes, audiotapes, systems designs, software, reports, diagrams, surveys, source codes or any original works of authorship created by Design-Build Entity or its Subcontractors or designers in connection with services performed under the Contract Documents shall be works for hire as defined under Title 17 of the United States Code, and all copyrights in such works are the property of Owner.

In the case of any ordered extra Work, Owner reserves the right to furnish all or portions of associated labor, material, and equipment, which Design-Build Entity shall accept and use without payment for costs, markup, profit, or otherwise for such Owner-furnished labor, materials, and equipment.
Owner may make changes to the Work during the course of construction to bring the Work into compliance with environmental requirements or standards established by state and federal statutes and regulations enacted after the Contract has been awarded. Design- Build Entity shall be compensated for changes affecting the Contract Time or Contract Sum of the Work as set forth in this Article 14 and in Section 01 2600 (Modification Procedures and Pricing of Changed Work).
Changes affecting the Contract Time or Contract Sum of the Work shall be set forth in a written Change Order that shall specify:
1. The Work performed in connection with the change to be made;
2. The amount of the adjustment of the Contract Sum, if any, and the basis for compensation for the Work ordered; and
3. The extent of the adjustment in the Contract Time, if any.
A Change Order will become effective when signed by Owner and Design-Build Entity. If Owner exercises its right to decide disputed issues pertaining to changed Work as set forth in Articles 12 and 14 of this Document 00 7253, then the resulting Change Order shall be effective when signed by Owner, notwithstanding that Design-Build Entity has not signed it.
Changes not affecting the Contract Time or Contract Sum of the Work, in Owner’s discretion, may be set forth in a written RFI-Reply executed by Owner. Execution of such an RFI-Reply constitutes Design-Build Entity’s agreement to make the specified change without change to the Contract Sum or the Contract Time.
Changes or deviations from Contract Documents affecting the Contract Time or Contract Sum of the Work shall not be made without the authority of an effective Change Order or Construction Change Directive as provided in Section 01 2600 (Modification Procedures and Pricing of Changed Work), except in cases of emergency discussed in Article 16 of this Document 00 7253.
If changes ordered in design, workmanship or materials are of such a nature as to increase or decrease the cost of any part of the Work, the price fixed in the Contract Documents shall be increased or decreased by the amount that Design-Build Entity and Owner may agree upon as a reasonable and proper allowance for the cost increase or decrease. If an agreement cannot be reached, then Owner will reach a determination, which shall be final, subject to Design-Build Entity’s rights under Article 12 of this Document 00 7253. In all cases Design-Build Entity shall perform the changed Work as directed by Owner subject to Design-Build Entity’s rights under Article 12 of this Document 00 7253.

Changes in the Work made pursuant to this Article 14 and extensions of Contract Time necessary by reason thereof shall not in any way release the guaranties and warranties given by Design-Build Entity pursuant to provisions of the Contract Documents, nor shall such changes in the Work relieve or release the Sureties of bonds executed pursuant to said provisions. The Sureties, in executing such bonds, shall be deemed to have expressly agreed to any such change in the Work and to any extension of time made by reason thereof.
Procedures for Modifications of Contract Documents and for calculating the cost of extra Work are given in Section 01 2600 (Modification Procedures and Pricing of Changed Work). Regarding delay and impact costs of any nature, Design-Build Entity may not seek delay compensation for on-Site or off-Site costs based on formulas, e.g., “Eichlay” or other formula. Rather, Design-Build Entity shall prove actual costs resulting from such delays.
If Design-Build Entity requests compensation for delay to the construction, then Design- Build Entity shall prove and document actual costs plus markup per the cost categories and procedures in Section 01 2600 (Modification Procedures and Pricing of Changed Work) in order to request, claim or prove compensation for delay.
Change Orders in excess of Owner’s approved limit must be approved by Owner’s Board and a performance bond rider covering the changed Work executed before proceeding with the changed Work. Design-Build Entity is charged with knowledge of Owner’s approved Change Order limits and procedures in effect at the applicable time.

Where Design-Build Entity is prevented from completing any part of the Work within the Contract Time due to delay beyond the control of both Owner and Design-Build Entity (including, but not limited to, adverse weather of all types and acts of other contractors or utilities), an extension of Contract Time, in an amount equal to the time lost due to such delay (without compensation), shall be Design-Build Entity’s sole and exclusive remedy for such delay.
Delays due to abnormal or adverse weather conditions shall not exceed 36 calendar days per year. Adverse weather delays may be allowed only if the number of workdays of adverse weather exceeds these parameters on a monthly basis, and Design-Build Entity proves that adverse weather actually caused delays to work that is on the critical path.
Design-Build Entity shall give written notice of intent to claim an adverse weather day within one Day of the adverse weather day occurring.
In order to qualify as an adverse weather delay with respect to the foregoing parameters, daily rainfall must exceed .1 of an inch or more as measured by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration weather station closest to the Project.
Adverse weather delay for precipitation shall be recognized for the actual period of time Design-Build Entity proves it was delayed by precipitation exceeding the specified parameters. For example, and not by way of limitation, if precipitation exceeding the specified parameters does not in fact delay Design-Build Entity’s progress on the critical path, then no time extension shall be recognized; and conversely, if Design-Build Entity proves to Owner’s satisfaction that precipitation exceeding the specified parameters causes delay to Design-Build Entity for a period longer than the number of precipitation days incurred (e.g., if it rains or snows during grading work), then Design-Build Entity shall be entitled to a time extension equal to the actual period of such delay.
Design-Build Entity shall include the foregoing precipitation parameters as a monthly activity in its progress schedule. As Work on the critical path is affected by precipitation, Design-Build Entity shall notify Owner and request that the days be moved to the affected activities. Any adverse weather days remaining shall be considered Project float.
Design-Build Entity shall take reasonable steps to mitigate potential weather delays, such as dewatering the Site, and covering Work and material that could be affected adversely by weather. Failure to do so shall be cause for Owner to not grant a time extension due to adverse weather, where Design-Build Entity could have avoided or mitigated the potential delay by exercising reasonable care.

DESIGN-BUILD
Notice Of Delay
Within seven Days of the beginning of any delay, Design-Build Entity shall notify Owner in writing, by submitting a notice of delay, of all anticipated delays resulting from the delay event in question. Within seven (7) additional days, Design-Build Entity shall provide a written schedule document that demonstrates delay to the critical path using a Time Impact Evaluation as specified in Section 01 3230 (Progress Schedules and Reports).
Owner will determine all claims and adjustments in the Contract Time. No claim for an adjustment in the Contract Time will be valid and such claim will be waived if not submitted in accordance with the requirements of this paragraph.
Time Extensions And / Or Damages Entitlements For Delays Design-Build Entity may receive a time extension and be compensated for delays caused directly and solely by Owner.
Design-Build Entity may receive a time extension without compensation for delays resulting in whole or in part from causes beyond the reasonable control of Design-Build Entity and Owner, e.g. adverse weather conditions exceeding Contract Documents parameters, earthquakes, Acts of God and epidemics. In such cases, a time extension without compensation shall constitute Design-Build Entity’s sole and exclusive remedy for such delays.
Design-Build Entity shall not be entitled to any time-related damages or compensation including, but not limited to, extended field or home office overhead, field supervision, costs of capital, interest, escalation charges, acceleration costs or other impacts for any delays caused in whole or in part by Design-Build Entity’s failure to perform its obligations under the Contract Documents, or during periods of delay concurrently caused by Design- Build Entity and either Owner or others.
Design-Build Entity shall not be entitled to damages for delay to the Work caused by the following reasons:
1. Owner’s right to sequence the Work in a manner which would avoid disruption to Owner’s tenants and their contractors or other prime contractors and their respective subcontractors, exercised as a result of Design-Build Entity’s failure to perform its cooperation and coordination responsibilities required by Contract Documents; Owner’s enforcement of any government act or regulation; or the provisions of the Contract Documents;
2.For changed Site conditions that are beyond the parties’ contemplation, except that Owner may approve direct costs associated with unknown conditions (but not costs or damages which result from such delays); and
3. Extensive requests for clarifications to Contract Documents or Contract Modifications thereto, provided such clarifications or Contract Modifications are processed by Owner or its consultants in a reasonable time commensurate with Contract Documents requirements.

GENERAL CONDITIONS –
DESIGN-BUILD
Time is of the essence. Execution of Contract Documents by Design-Build Entity shall constitute acknowledgement by Design-Build Entity that Design-Build Entity understands, has ascertained and agrees that Owner will actually sustain damages in the amount fixed in the Contract Documents for each and every Day during which completion of Work required is delayed beyond expiration of time fixed for completion or extensions of time allowed pursuant to provisions hereof. Design-Build Entity and Owner agree that specified measures of liquidated damages shall be presumed to be the damages actually sustained by Owner as defined below, and that because of the nature of the Project, it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages.
Liquidated damages shall be considered not as a penalty but as agreed monetary damage sustained by Owner for increased Project administration expenses, including extra inspection, construction management and architectural and engineering expenses related to the Project and Contract Documents because Design-Build Entity failed to perform and complete Work within time fixed for completion or extensions of time allowed pursuant to provisions hereof. Liquidated damages shall not be deemed to include within their scope additional damages or administrative costs arising from Defective Work, lost revenues, interest expenses, cost of completion of the Work, cost of substitute facilities, claims and fines of regulatory agencies, damages suffered by others or other forms of liability claimed against Owner as a result of delay (e.g., delay or delay related claims of other contractors, subcontractors or tenants), and defense costs thereof. Design-Build Entity shall be fully responsible for the actual amount of any such damages it causes, in addition to the liquidated damages otherwise due Owner.
Owner in its sole discretion may deduct from any money due or to become due to Design- Build Entity subsequent to time for completion of entire Work and extensions of time allowed pursuant to provisions hereof, a sum representing then-accrued liquidated damages. Should Design-Build Entity fall behind the approved Progress Schedule, Owner may deduct liquidated damages based on its estimated period of late completion. Owner need not wait until Final Completion to withhold liquidated damages from Design-Build Entity’s progress payments. Should money due or to become due to Design-Build Entity be insufficient to cover aggregate liquidated damages due, then Design-Build Entity forthwith shall pay the remainder of the assessed liquidated damages to Owner.

ARTICLE 1 - COMPLIANCE REQUIRED
1.01 Design-Build Entity and Subcontractors shall comply with the requirements of California Labor Code §§1776, 1777.5, and 1777.6 concerning the employment of apprentices by Design-Build Entity or Subcontractors. Willful failure to comply may result in penalties, including loss of the right to Bid on or receive public works contracts.
ARTICLE 2 - CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL
2.01 California Labor Code §1777.5, as amended, requires any Design-Build Entity or Subcontractor employing tradespersons in any apprenticeable occupation to apply to the joint apprenticeship committee nearest the site of a public works project and which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a certification of approval. The certificate shall also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeypersons that will be used in performance of the Contract. The ratio of work performed by apprentices to journeypersons in such cases shall not be less than one hour of apprentices work for every five hours of labor performed by journeypersons (the minimum ratio for the land surveyor classification shall not be less than one apprentice for each five journeypersons), except:
A. When unemployment for the previous three-month period in the area exceeds an average of 15 percent;
B. When the number of apprentices in training in the area exceeds a ratio of one to five; C. When a trade can show that it is replacing at least 1/30 of its membership through apprenticeship training on an annual basis state-wide or locally; or D. Assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works contract would create a condition which would jeopardize his or her life or the life, safety, or property of fellow employees or the public at large or if the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of such a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyperson.
ARTICLE 3 - FUND CONTRIBUTIONS
3.01 Design-Build Entity is required to make contributions to funds established for administration of apprenticeship programs if Design-Build Entity employs registered apprentices or journeypersons in any apprenticeable trade on such contracts and if other contractors on the public works site are making such contributions.
