Design, the Design-Builder shall submit a budget update. The budget update shall be
submitted in the same format as the Preliminary Budget Estimate and shall show variations
from Preliminary Budget Estimate. To the extent the budget update shows an overrun from
the approved budget, the Design-Builder shall submit Value Engineering suggestions that
would return the Project to budget. Only the Department shall have the authority to increase
the Project Budget, and absent such direction, the Design-Builder shall proceed on the
assumption that the budget remains as originally directed by the Department.
Section 3.2.3 Constructability/Sole Source/Long-Lead Time Memorandum.
Concurrently with the Schematic Design Budget Estimate, the Design-Builder shall prepare
a memorandum identifying key construction concerns related to the Project. Such
memorandum shall: (i) assess the constructability issues related to the Project, including
site logistics; (ii) identify any items where the design is predicated on a single manufacturer
and, if so, identify at least two (2) comparable products; and (iii) identify any long-lead

resources necessary to support these requirements.
Section 3.2.6 Entitlements. The Design-Builder shall prepare such materials and make
such presentations as are necessary to obtain the required land use and entitlement approvals.
Approvals may be required from (i) the Office of Zoning, (ii) OP, and (iii) the CFA. Given
the nature of the work, it is not envisioned that such approvals will require extensive hearings
or submissions.
Section 3.2.7 Mid-Point Construction Document Review. Based on the approved Design
Development Documents and any approved Value Engineering, the Design-Builder shall
cause the Architect to prepare a set of Construction Documents. It is contemplated that
the Construction Documents may be issued in several different sets (i.e. architectural,
electrical, mechanical, structural, etc.). As each such set reaches a point where it is
approximately Fifty percent (50%) complete, the Design-Builder shall prepare and submit a
progress printing to the Department for its review and comment.
Section 3.2.8 Construction Document Review & Coordination.
The Design-Builder shall complete each of the Construction Documents packages in a
manner that addresses the concerns raised by the Department during the review
contemplated in Section 3.2.7 for such package. The Design-Builder shall issue one or more

The Permit Set shall represent the further progression of the approved DDs together with
any value engineering strategies approved by the Department. The Permit Set shall be
Construction Documents progressed to approximately 90% completion of those required
in a traditional Design/Build delivery method. With regard to each such set, the Design-
Builder shall highlight (or bubble) any aspect of the design that represents a material
deviation from the approved Design Development Documents and shall address in a
narrative format the impact, if any, such departure shall have on the Project’s aesthetics,
functionality or performance. The Department shall have the right to disapprove the
Construction Documents for any reason. If the Department disapproves the Construction
Documents, the Design-Builder will not be entitled to any additional compensation. If,
however, the Department disapproves a Construction Document that is a logical extension
of the approved Design Development Documents, the Design-Builder will be entitled to an
adjustment to the GMP and/or the Agreement schedule unless such a package departs from
the Scope of Work fairly reflected in the GMP Drawings and Specifications and in such event
the Design-Builder shall be required to prepare a revised design that complies with the GMP
drawings and specifications (“Drawings and Specifications”) and without any entitlement
to an increase in the GMP or an adjustment of the Agreement schedule. In the event the
Department does not approve a document within fourteen (14) days after issuance, such

concepts and information contained in the Permit Set; (b) correct design errors or
omissions, ambiguities, and inconsistencies in the Permit Set (whether found prior to or
during the course of construction); and (c) correct any failure of the Architect to follow
written instructions of the Department during any phase of design services or the
construction of the Project provided they are compatible with industry standards.
Section 3.2.9 Code Review. The Design-Builder shall submit the Permit Set to the DOB in
order to obtain the necessary building permits for the Project. The Design-Builder shall
monitor the permit process and shall incorporate any changes or adjustments required by
the Code Official. The Design-Builder shall also issue any such changes to the Department
for its review and approval. In this submittal, the Architect shall highlight (or bubble)
any aspect of the design that represents a material deviation from the permit set documents
and shall address in a narrative format the impact, if any, such departure shall have on the
Project’s aesthetics, functionality or performance. Subsequent to obtaining the necessary

Page 28 of 115
building permits, the Design-Builder shall prepare one or more sets of “issued for
construction documents” (the “IFC Set(s)”).
Section 3.2.10 Design Changes. If it should become necessary to amend any of the
approved IFC Set(s), the Design-Builder shall prepare an amendment to the drawings and
shall submit such amendment to the Department for its review and approval. In this
submittal, the Design-Builder shall highlight (or bubble) any aspect of the design that
represents a material deviation from the permit set documents and shall address in a
narrative format the impact, if any, such departure shall have on the Project’s aesthetics,
functionality or performance. In the event the Department does not approve such document
within ten (10) business days after issuance, unless otherwise denied, such document shall
be deemed approved, provided however that the Department has not advised that such
document is still under review.

Article 4 FORMATION OF GMP PROPOSAL
Section 4.1. General.
During the Design & Preconstruction Phase, the Design-Builder shall cause the Architect to prepare
the GMP Basis Documents. Based upon the GMP Basis Documents, the Design-Builder shall propose
a GMP (referred to as the “GMP Proposal”) which shall be submitted in accordance with this Article.
The Design-Builder acknowledges and understands that the GMP Basis Documents will be incomplete
at the time it submits its GMP Proposal. Although complete Construction Documents will not be
available and many details will not be shown on GMP Basis Documents or will otherwise need to be
adjusted, the GMP proposed in the Design-Builder’s GMP Proposal shall be intended to represent the
Design-Builder’s offer for the Final Completion of the Project. If the Design-Builder’s GMP
Proposal is acceptable to the Department, it shall be memorialized in form of an amendment to
this Agreement (such amendment, the “GMP Amendment”). Such amendment shall be in the form of
Exhibit L attached hereto.
As part of the GMP Amendment, the Design-Builder shall certify that the GMP established thereby (i)
contains sufficient amounts to perform all Work necessary for the Final Completion of the Project; and
(ii) contains sufficient amounts to provide and construct any items or facilities that are not contained in
the GMP Basis Documents, but which are necessary for a fully functioning facility that meets the
programmatic requirements established for the Project. The Design-Builder will further covenant and
agree in the GMP Amendment that it will perform all of the construction work necessary for the Final
Completion of the Project, including, without limitation, aspects of the Work that are not shown on
the GMP Basis Documents, but which are a logical development of the design intent reflected in the
GMP Basis Documents, for an amount not to exceed the GMP.
Section 4.2. Review of GMP Basis Documents.
The Department has selected the Design-Builder, in large part, because of its special expertise in
constructing similar projects. Before submitting its GMP, the Design-Builder shall review the GMP
Basis Documents for accuracy, constructability and completeness and shall bring such deficiencies to
the attention of the Department and shall cause its Architect to address any such deficiencies. To the
extent that any such deficiencies in the GMP Basis Documents could have been identified by such
review by a competent Design-Builder, such deficiencies shall not be the basis for a change in the GMP
or delaying the Project Schedule.
Section 4.3. Contingency.
The Cost of the Work shall include a contingency, which shall be a sum established by the Department
and the Design-Builder to cover, among other things costs necessary to address scope expansion that
is a logical development of the design, issues arising from or as a result of deficiencies in the
GMP Basis Documents and other costs which are properly reimbursable as Cost of the Work but not the
basis for a Change Order, such as costs that were not reasonably foreseeable as of the effective date of
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Page 30 of 115
this Agreement, including such items as emergencies, unforeseeable changes in market conditions
for materials or labor, or subsurface, soils or site conditions that were neither known nor reasonably
discoverable as of the effective date of the Agreement (the “Contingency”). During the Construction
Phase, the Design-Builder shall keep the Program Manager informed as to the status of the
Contingency and shall, at a minimum: (i) advise the Program Manager or any significant draws
upon the Contingency in a timely manner; and (ii) provide the Program Manager with running status
of the Contingency balance at least once every two (2) weeks.
Section 4.4. Trade Bids.
Section 4.4.1. Subcontractors and Suppliers; Bidding Procedures. During the Design
& Preconstruction Phase, the Design-Builder shall seek to develop Subcontractor interest in
the Project. Within fifteen (15) days after the completion of the Schematic Design, the
Design-Builder shall provide to the Department for its review and approval a written
submission on the proposed bidding procedures. Such procedures shall include: (i) a list
of proposed trades packages; (ii) a list of trade subcontractors that will be invited to bid
on each such package; and (iii) a narrative description of the process. At least three (3)
potential subcontractors shall be identified for each trade package. In addition to the
information normally required in such bids, the Design-Builder shall also require
subcontractors to provide an estimate of the percentage of labor hours performed in
completing the subcontracted work that will be performed by District residents. A copy of
this deliverable must be submitted to both the COTR and the CO. In the event the
Department does not approve the proposed bidding procedures within fifteen (15) days after
its receipt, such procedures shall be deemed approved unless the Department advises that such
is still under review.
Section 4.4.2. Manage Bidding Process. Following the Department’s approval of the
design development documents, the Design-Builder shall manage the trade bidding
process in accordance with the approved bidding procedures and shall use commercially
reasonable best efforts to solicit at least three (3) qualified and bona fide bids for each trade
package that has an expected value in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000.00). Trade packages shall not be parceled, split or divided to avoid the
$100,000.00 threshold. In addition to the information normally required in such bids, the
Design-Builder shall also require subcontractors to provide an estimate of the percentage
of labor hours performed in completing the subcontracted work which will be performed
by District residents. The Design-Builder shall carefully document its procedures for
making available bid packages to potential bidders, the contents of each bid package,
discussions with bidders at any pre-bid meetings, bidders’ compliance with bid
requirements, all bids received, the Design-Builder’s evaluations of all bids, and the basis
for the Design-Builder’s recommendation as to which bidders should be chosen. The
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Page 31 of 115
Department shall be afforded access to all such records at all reasonable times so that,
among other things, it may independently confirm the Design-Builder’s adherence to all
requirements set forth in the Agreement, including, without limitation, affirmative action
requirements and subcontracting requirements.
Section 4.4.3. Bid Tab. As part of the negotiations leading up to the GMP, the Design-
Builder shall provide to the Department tabulations of the trade bids solicited and copies of
all trade bids. In general, the bid tab shall be presented in tabular format that compares the
bids received and any other relevant information (i.e. exclusions, past performance history,
etc.). The bid tabulation shall include scope assessments and identify required leveling of
the trade submitted. To the extent that the Design-Builder’s award recommendation is based
on scoping adjustments, the Design-Builder shall clearly identify the scoping adjustment
and the need for such adjustments. Such bid tabulation shall include LSDBE utilization
information in addition to price and other information. Such bid tabulations as well as
copies of the bids shall be submitted to the Department’s Program Manager. The Design-
Builder represents and warrants that the bid tabs so submitted shall fairly represent the
results of the Subcontractor bidding process and that the Design-Builder shall not
misrepresent any such data to the Department or its Program Manager.
Section 4.5. Value Engineering.
Based on the trade bids received, the Design-Builder shall prepare a written report of suggested
Value Engineering strategies necessary to reconcile the costs of constructing the Project Budget, if
necessary. The Design-Builder shall meet with the Department’s representatives to discuss any
Value Engineering and changes in scope necessary to ensure that the Department’s schedule and
programmatic requirements are met and that the budget is not exceeded. The Design-Builder shall cause
the Architect to implement and price any approved Value Engineering strategies.
Section 4.6. Basis of Guaranteed Maximum Price.
The Design-Builder shall include with the GMP Proposal a written statement of its basis, which shall
include:
Section 4.6.1 A list of drawings, specifications, addenda, general, supplementary, and
other conditions on which the GMP is based.
Section 4.6.2 A list of unit prices and allowance items and a statement of their basis.
Section 4.6.3 Assumptions and clarifications made in preparing the GMP Proposal,
noting in particular any exclusions. The assumptions and clarifications shall take
precedence over the drawings and specifications. The Design -Builder shall prepare a
separate memorandum th at highlights any differences between the then approved
drawings and the modifications made in the assumptions and clarifications. Such
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Page 32 of 115
memorandum shall specifically address any changes in the Project aesthetics,
functionality or performance.
Section 4.6.4 The proposed GMP, including a statement of the detailed cost estimate
organized by trade categories, allowances, contingency, and other items and the fees
that comprise the GMP.
Section 4.6.5 An update to the Project’s schedule to which the Design-Builder will agree
to be bound. This update shall be prepared in the same level of detail and in the same
manner as the Baseline Schedule, and without any change to the Substantial and Final
Completion Dates unless approved by the Department’s Contracting Officer.
Section 4.6.6 A subcontracting plan setting forth the names and estimated dollar volume
of the work that will be performed by LSBDEs, as certified by the Department of Small
and Local Business Development (DSLBD), upon which the GMP is based.
Section 4.6.7 A summary of Capital Cost vs Operating Cost Eligibility.
Section 4.6.8 A list of additive alternates or deductive alternates with defined executable
dates, if any.
Section 4.6.9 GMP and any Council Package cost estimate summary shall be broken
down into three categories as applicable: New Construction, Renovation and Sitework.
Section 4.6.10 Each MP may include an agreed upon sum as the Design -Builder’s
Contingency and the Owner contingency, each of which shall be identified as a separate
line item in the GMP's Schedule of Values.
A. Construction contingency
i. The Design -Builder’s Contingency shall be utilized to compensate for the
increased Cost of the Work incurred by the Design- Builder due to unforeseen
circumstances relating to construction of that Project which resulted in an unavoidable
increase in cost s, except when deemed the responsibility of the Department in
accordance with this Contract. If the Design-Builder fails to include all of the required
scope of work in the bid packages, Design- Builder Contingency may be used to
purchase the omitted scope , until the Design- Builder’s Contingency balance reaches
zero or until the balance equals the anticipated subcontractor modifications. All
requests to use the Design-Builder’s Contingency shall be submitted as a Request for
Change Order (“RCO”). Charges t o the Design- Builder’s Contingency shall not
become due and payable until the RCO is approved in writing by the Department’s
Contracting Officer and becomes a Change Order. If the Design-Builder’s
Contingency reaches zero, any cost overruns or charges that could have been charged
to the Design -Builder’s Contingency shall be the sole responsibility of the Design -
Builder.
ii. If bids are received below the applicable line items in the GMP, the surplus will
be added to the Design -Builder’s Contingency for that Project. If bids exceed the
agreed-upon line items in a GMP, the deficiency will be charged to the Design-
Builder’s Contingency for that Project, however, such events shall not be cause to
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Page 33 of 115
increase the GMP.
iii. Once all subcontracts anticipated by a GMP have been awarded, including any
self-performed work, the Department may require the Design- Builder to reduce the
Design-Builder’s Contingency to an amount as agreed to by the parties to reflect the
Design-Builder’s risk from that point in the Project forward.
iv. Upon Final Completion of the Project, any remaining Design -Builder’s
Contingency, if any, shall be reduced to zero by a Contract Modification and the
Design-Builder shall have no entitlement to the balance.
B. Owner contingency/Allowance(s)
i. The Department retains the right to increase the GMP in lieu of charging any cost
to the Owner contingency. Any unused Contingency, whether Department
Contingency or the Design-Builder Contingency, shall be reconciled to a zero balance
via a Contract Modification upon Final Completion.
ii. When the Design -Builder proposes to use the Owner contingency, the Design-
Builder shall prepare an RCO, identifying the amount sought to be charged to the
Owner contingency, the reasons why the amount should be charged to that
Contingency and demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Department that the costs to
be incurred are necessary for the Work and are the responsibility of the Department.
At all times, the Design-Builder shall avoid and mitigate Department Contingency
costs whenever possible. Before payment or as part of an audit, the Design -Builder
and the Department shall have authority to verify the actual costs incurred. No costs
may be charged to the Owner contingency until the RCO is approved in writing by the
Department and becomes a Change Order.
iii. The Owner contingency shall be an amount, determined by the Department,
which will be available to compensate the Design -Builder for the increased Cost of
the Work incurred by the Design- Builder due to a Contract Modification or to other
increases in the Cost of the Work which the Department determines, in its sole
discretion, is its responsibility. The Department may increase, decrease or eliminate
the Owner contingency at any time.
Section 4.7. Department Review of GMP Proposal.
The Design-Builder shall meet with the Department to review the GMP Proposal and the written
statement of its basis. In the event that the Department discovers any inconsistencies or inaccuracies
in the information presented, the Department shall promptly notify the Design-Builder, who shall
make appropriate adjustments to the GMP Proposal, its basis or both.
Section 4.8. Department Acceptance of GMP Proposal.
The Department and the Design-Builder shall meet to negotiate the terms of the GMP Proposal.
If the GMP Proposal is acceptable to the Department, the Department shall submit the resulting GMP
amendment to the Council for the District of Columbia. The GMP shall be subject to review and
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Page 34 of 115
approval by the Council for the District of Columbia (the “Council”). The GMP shall be subject to
review and approval by the Council for the District of Columbia in the event it exceeds the previously
approved Contract value by more than $1 million. In such event, the GMP shall not be effective until
so approved. Please note that the Council submission and approval timeline varies, and Offerors should
plan for 60-90 days on average for this process, taking into consideration that Council is not in session
over the summer months.
Section 4.9. GMP Amendment.
In the event an acceptable GMP Proposal is not developed and a GMP Amendment is not executed,
the Agreement will be terminated. In the event the Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section,
the Department shall be free to use any of the documents and information developed through the date
of termination to retain a new contractor to complete the Project.
Section 4.10. Assignment Upon Failure to Reach GMP.
In the event that the Department and the Design-Builder are unable to agree upon a GMP, the
Department shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and if requested by the Department, the
Design-Builder shall assign any trade Subcontracts and its agreement with the Architect to the
Department upon such terms and conditions and at the time requested by the Department. In such
event, the Design-Builder shall only be entitled to earn fifty percent (50%) of the Preconstruction Fee.
Section 4.11. Certification.
As part of the GMP Proposal submitted in accordance with this Article, the Design-Builder agrees to
specifically acknowledge and declare that the Contract Documents are sufficiently complete to
have enabled the Design-Builder to determine the Cost of the Work therein in order to enter into the
GMP Amendment and to enable the Design-Builder to agree to construct the Work outlined therein in
accordance with applicable laws, statutes, building codes and regulations to the best of Design-
Builder’s knowledge, and otherwise to fulfill all its obligations hereunder. The Design-Builder shall
further acknowledge that it has visited the site, examined all conditions affecting the Work, is fully
familiar with all of the conditions thereon and affecting the same, and has carefully examined all
drawings and specifications provided to it.
Section 4.12 Early Release/Abatement & Demolition
Section 4.12.1 Abatement & Selective Demolition. Once the Schematic Design has been
approved, the Department may release the Design-Builder to commence hazardous
material abatement and interior demolition, or other early activities, as applicable. It is
envisioned that this work may be released in advance of the GMP.
Section 4.12.2 Long Lead Materials. The Department will release funding for long-lead
items once the Design Development Documents have been approved. If the Design-Builder
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Page 35 of 115
believes an earlier release is required in order to meet the Project Schedule, it shall advise
the Department and make a recommendation as to the requested release date. Any decision
to authorize an early release shall be made by the Department in its sole and absolute
discretion.
Section 4.13 Unsafe Materials and Hazardous Materials
Section 4.13.1 The Design-Builder shall not bring, spill or release onto the site asbestos,
PCBs, or any other Hazardous Material that is not customarily used in a facility of
the type and similar to the Project, and shall bring to the Department’s attention any
specification of such Hazardous Materials in the design documents. If the Design-Builder
believes that anything in the Agreement would require that it use or bring onto the site
asbestos, PCBs, or any Hazardous Material that is not customarily used in a facility of the
type and similar to the Project, it shall immediately inform the Department and seek
direction before proceeding.
Section 4.13.2 The Design-Builder shall abate and remove Hazardous Materials on or

equipment supplied by a Subcontractor or supplier, the Design-Builder shall either
pay the Subcontractor or supplier for its proportionate share of the amount paid to
the Design-Builder for the Subcontractor’s or supplier’s Work or materials or
equipment, or notify the Department and the Subcontractor or supplier, in writing,
of the Design-Builder’s intention to withhold all or part of the payment and state
the reason for the withholding. All monies paid to the Design-Builder under the
Agreement shall be used first to pay amounts due to Subcontractors or suppliers
supplying labor or materials for the Project and only money remaining after such
payments are made may be used for other items such as the Design Build Fee.
Monies paid by joint check shall be deemed to have been paid fully to the
Subcontractor or supplier named as a joint payee, unless the Department agrees

Section 5.4 Weekly Progress Meetings & Schedule Updates.
The Design-Builder shall schedule and conduct, at a minimum, weekly progress meeting at which
the Department, the Architect, the Project Manager, the Design-Builder and appropriate
Subcontractors can discuss the status of the Work. The Design-Builder shall prepare and promptly
distribute meeting minutes. In addition, the Design-Builder shall submit bi-weekly Schedule updates
which shall reflect actual conditions of Project progress as of the date of the update. The update
shall reflect the actual progress of construction, identify any developing delays, regardless of their
cause, and reflect the Design-Builder’s best projection of the actual date by which Substantial
Completion and Final Completion of the Project will be achieved. Via a narrative statement (not
merely a critical path method schedule), the Design-Builder shall identify the causes of any potential
delay and state what, in the Design-Builder's judgment, must be done to avoid or reduce that delay.
The Design-Builder shall point out, in its narrative, changes that have occurred since the last update,
including those related to major changes in the scope of work, activities modified since the last update,
revised projections of durations, progress and completion, revisions to the schedule logic or
assumptions, and other relevant changes. Any significant variance from the previous schedule or
update shall also be identified in a narrative, together with the reasons for the variance and its impact
on Project completion. All Schedule updates shall be in a native format reasonably acceptable to the
Department (e.g., Primavera). The Department may make reasonable requests during the Project for
changes to the format or for further explanation of information provided. Submission of updates
showing that Substantial Completion or Final Completion of the Project will be achieved later than the
applicable scheduled completion date shall not constitute requests for extension of time and shall not
operate to change the scheduled completion date(s). The Department’s receipt of, and lack of
objection to, any schedule update showing Substantial Completion or Final Completion later than the
dates agreed upon in the Project Schedule shall not be regarded as the Department’s agreement that the
Design-Builder may have an extension of time, or as a waiver of any of the Department’s rights, but
merely as the Design-Builder’s representation that, as a matter of fact, Substantial Completion or
Final Completion of the Project may not be completed by the agreed upon date in the Project Schedule.
Changes to the scheduled completion dates may be made only in the circumstances and only by the
methods set forth in this Agreement.

(iii) a monthly review of cash flow; (iv) a quality control report; and (v) progress
photos. Each monthly update shall contain a narrative description of the Project
progress and a critical path method schedule in Primavera format, including any
plans to correct defective or deficient work or for time lost due to delays.
Section 5.5.2 Cost Update. The monthly update shall reflect, by GMP line item, the
original line item amount, approved, pending, and projected Change Order
amounts, the cost incurred to date, the projected cost to complete the Work of the
line item, and any variance between the actually approved budgeted balance of the
line item and the projected cost to complete. A clear distinction must be made
between approved Change Orders and those merely requested or anticipated. The
report shall explain all variances including “buyouts” or final actual costs including
those below their respective GMP line item. In addition, the report must disclose
any instances in which the Design-Builder has transferred amounts from one line
item to another, or from the Contingency to any other line item. Neither
submission of, nor the Department's failure to reject an update reflecting that the
projected cost to complete the Project exceeding the GMP will operate to increase
the GMP or waive the Department's right to enforce the GMP. If the report reflects
budget overruns, it must also include a recovery plan.
Section 5.5.3 Economic Inclusion Report. The monthly report shall include a detailed
summary of the Design-Builder’s efforts and results with respect to the economic
inclusion goals set forth in this Agreement. Such report shall be in a format
acceptable to the Department and shall include, at a minimum: (i) the Design-

flow for the Project, such changes shall be disclosed and explained in the monthly
report. If there are no such changes, the report shall so state.
Section 5.5.5 Quality Assurance Report. The monthly report shall include a detailed
summary of the steps that are being employed to ensure quality construction
and workmanship. Each report shall specifically address issues that were raised by
the Department and/or its Program Manager during the prior month and outline the
steps that are being taken to address such issues.
Section 5.5.6 Progress Photos. The monthly report shall include updated progress photos
that shall detail changes in the Work during the month.
The Design-Builder shall also maintain a daily log containing a record of weather, Subcontractors
working on the site, number of workers, major equipment on the site, Work accomplished,
problems encountered and other similar relevant data as the Department may reasonably require.
The log shall be available to the Department, the Architect, and the Program Manager, and on a
monthly basis a copy of the log shall be submitted to the Department.
Section 5.6 Cost Control System.

that the adverse weather was of a nature and duration in excess of averages
established by data from the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration for the Project locale for the ten (10) years
preceding the effective date of the Agreement. For purposes of this clause, weather
shall only be deemed “adverse” if the weather in question was more severe than
that encountered at the Project site over the last ten (10) years for the month in
question. Such determinations shall be made based on the number of rain/snow
days or the cumulative precipitation total for the month in question.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, named storms shall conclusively be deemed
“adverse”;
Section 5.11.2.3 Delays due to the failure of the Design-Builder or Subcontractors or
material suppliers at any tier to perform in timely or proper fashion, without
regard to concepts of negligence or fault; or
Section 5.11.2.4 Delays due to Site Conditions whether known or unknown as of the
effective date of the Agreement, foreseeable or unforeseeable at that time,
naturally occurring or man-made; provided, however, that delays due to differing
Site Conditions as permitted by Article 4, Section A of the Standard Contract
Provisions or Hazardous Materials Remediation shall be deemed an Excusable
Delay.
Section 5.11.3 The Design-Builder shall be entitled to an adjustment in the Substantial
Completion Date due to an Excusable Delay. The term “Excusable Delay” shall
mean:
Section 5.11.3.1 Delays due to adverse weather other than those that are
classified as a Non-Excusable delay in accordance with Section
5.11.2.2 of this Agreement;
Section 5.11.3.2 Delays due to acts of God, war, unavoidable casualties,
civil unrest, and other similar causes of delay that are beyond the

5.11.2.4 of this Agreement;
Section 5.11.3.4 Delays due to suspensions of work;
Section 5.11.3.5 Delays caused by the Client Agency or separate
contractors of the Client Agency to the extent such delays are not
concurrent with delays caused by the Design-Builder or any of its
employees, agents, subcontractors or material suppliers; or
In addition to the forgoing, a delay shall be deemed to be an Excusable Delay only to the
extent that such delay (i) warrants an extension in the Substantial or Final Completion
Date; (ii) has not been caused by the Design-Builder or any of its employees, agents,
Subcontractors or material suppliers; (iii) is on Project’s critical path; and (iv) is in addition
to any time contingency periods set forth in the critical path.

allotted per the Project Schedule, written notice as provided herein shall be given.
The Design-Builder’s claim shall include an estimate of the cost and of the
probable effect of delay on the progress of the Work. In the case of continuing
delay, only one claim is necessary.
Section 5.11.5 In no event shall the Design-Builder be entitled to an increase in the GMP
or the Design-Build Fee as a result of either an Excusable or Non-Excusable Delay;
provided, however, that to the extent that a delay is: (i) an Excusable Delay; (ii) of
unreasonable duration; (iii) caused solely by the Department; and (iv) not
concurrent with any other delay, then the Design-Builder shall be entitled to receive
its actual costs, including all direct and indirect costs, bonds and insurances
resulting from such extended duration. It is understood that the Design-Builder shall

than five percent (5%) of the Direct Cost of the Work. With regard to any
such Work that is self -performed by the Design-Builder, the markup
contemplated in this Section shall be the Design-Builder’s exclusive
compensation and it shall not be entitled to the markup contemplated in
Section 8.6.1.3;
Section 8.6.1.2 Intervening tier Subcontractors shall be entitled to a markup
of two percent (2%) (covering home office overhead, the cost of insurance
and bonds, field supervision, general conditions and profit) on Work

consent of the Department, and the Design-Builder. The referenced Drawing, Specifications and
other documents shall become the property of the Department. The District will be the sole owner
of all project drawings, specifications, and other Project Documents, and the Design-Builder shall
provide the District with a complete set of “as-built” within sixty (60) days of final completion.

obligations contained in the Agreement. Neither party to the Agreement shall assign the
Agreement or its rights and obligations under the Agreement, without written consent of the other
party. If either party attempts to make such an assignment without such consent, that party shall
nevertheless remain legally responsible for all obligations under the Agreement.
Section 15.3 BUY AMERICAN ACT PROVISIONS
The Design-Builder shall comply with the provisions of the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. §§
8301–8305), including, but not limited to, the purchase of steel. To the extent that the language
in this section contradicts the language under Article 24 of The Department Standard Contract
Provisions for Construction Contracts and Article 15 (C) of the Department Standard Contract
Provisions for Architectural and Engineering Services Contracts (Exhibit J1 and J2) regarding
compliance with the Buy American Act, the language in this section should supersede.
Section 15.3.1 In accordance with the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. §§ 8301– 8305), and
Executive Order 10582, December 17, 1954 (3 CFR, 1954- 58 Comp., p. 230), as amended by
Executive Order 11051, September 27, 1962 (3 CFR, 1059 —63 Comp., p. 635), the Design-
Builder agrees that only domestic construction material will be used by the Design -Builder,
subcontractors, material men and suppliers in the performance of the Agreement, except for non-
domestic material listed in the Agreement.
“Components” as used in this Section, means those articles, materials and supplies incorporated
directly into the end products.
“Domestic end product”, as used in this section, means, (1) an unmanufactured end product mined
or produced in the United States, or (2) an end product manufactured in the United States, if the
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Page 93 of 115
cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States, exceeds 65 percent
of the cost of all its components. For an end product that consists wholly or predominantly of iron
or steel or a combination of both, the cost of foreign iron and steel must constitute less than 5
percent of the cost of all the components used in the end product.
Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind as the products shall be treated as
domestic. Scrap generated, collected, and prepared for processing in the Unites States is
considered domestic.
“End Products”, as used in this Section, means those articles, materials, and supplies to be
acquired for public use under this Contract.
The Design-Builder shall deliver only domestic end products, except those:
1. For use outside the United States;
2. That the District determines are not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in
sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality;
3. For which the District determines that domestic preference would be inconsistent with the
public interest; or
4. For which the District determines the cost to be unreasonable.
Section 15.3.2 Domestic Construction Material. “Construction material” means any article,
material, or supply brought to the construction site for incorporation in the building or work. An
unmanufactured construction material is a “domestic construction material” if it has been mined
or produced in the United States. A manufactured construction material is a “domestic
construction material” if it has been manufactured in the United States and if the cost of its
components which have been mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 65
percent of the cost of all its components. “Component” means any article, material, or supply
directly incorporated in construction material. If the construction material consists wholly or
predominantly of iron or steel, the iron or steel was produced in the United States; or, for
construction material that consists wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of
both, a construction material manufactured in the United States if the cost of foreign iron and steel
constitutes less than 5 percent of the cost of all the components used in such construction material.
Section 15.3.3 Domestic Component. A component shall be considered to have been “mined,
produced, or manufactured in the United States” regardless of its source, in fact, if the article,
material, or supply in which it is incorporated was manufactured in the United States and the
component is of a class or kind determined by the Government to be not mined, produced or
manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities
and of satisfactory quality.
Section 15.3.4 Foreign Construction Material. “Foreign construction material” means a
construction material other than a domestic construction material.

penalties shall accrue on the added amount.
Section 15.5.2.4 A dispute between The Design-Builder and Subcontractor
relating to the amounts or entitlement of a Subcontractor to a payment or

Article 18 CHANGES IN THE WORK
Section 18.1 Changes Authorized.
In accordance with the Standard Contract Provisions (Construction Contracts), the Department
may, without invalidating the Agreement, and without notice to or approval of any surety, order
changes in the Work, including additions, deletions or modifications. Any such change must be
conveyed by the Department to the Design-Builder via written Change Directive or Change
Order.
Section 18.2 Executed Change Directive/Change Order Required.
Only a written Change Directive or Change Order, executed by the Department, may make
changes to the Agreement. In particular, but without limitation, a written Change Directive or
Change Order executed by the Department is the only means by which changes may be made to
the Substantial or Final Completion Dates, the Design-Build Fee, or the GMP.
Section 18.3 Department-Initiated Changes
1. If the Department wishes to make a change in the Work or to accelerate the Work, it will
execute and issue to the Design-Builder a written Change Directive, either directing the Design-
Builder to proceed at once with the changed Work or directing it to not to proceed, but to inform
the Department, in writing, of the amount, if any, by which the Design-Builder believes that
Substantial or Final Completion Dates and/or the GMP should be adjusted to take the Change
Order or Change Directive into account.
2. Within ten (10) days of receiving a Change Directive, the Design-Builder shall provide
the Department with a written statement of all changes in the Agreement, including, without
limitation, any changes to the Substantial or Final Completion Dates or the GMP to which it
believes it is entitled as a result of the Change Directive. If additional time is sought, a schedule
analysis supporting the requested extension should be included. The schedule analysis should
include a written narrative explanation. If a change in the GMP is sought (or if the Department
has requested a deduct change), the statement should include a breakdown, by line item, of the
estimated cost changes attributable to the proposed change. The Department may request, and
the Design-Builder shall provide, further cost breakdowns, clarifications, documentation or
back-up if the Department reasonably believes such additional information is needed to
understand and evaluate the request. The additional information required may include cost
and pricing data in accordance with the Department’s regulations. Any requested adjustment to
the GMP shall be limited to increased Cost of the Work due to the Change Directive. The Design-
Builder is not entitled to any markup on any kind of Change Orders except as authorized in
Section 18.8, and if so authorized, any mark-up shall be in accordance with Section 18.11.
3. If the Department has not yet directed the Design-Builder to proceed with the change
described by a Change Directive, the Department may rescind it. If the Department wishes
to proceed, or has already directed the Design-Builder to proceed, the Design-Builder shall
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Page 111 of 115
immediately proceed with the changed Work and, the Department and the Design-Builder shall
use their good faith best efforts to reach an agreement upon the modifications to the Substantial
or Final Completion Dates, and/or the GMP that are justified by the Change Directive. If the
Department and the Design-Builder reach agreement, the agreement shall be set forth in a
Change Order and the Design-Builder shall also execute it, at which point it will become binding
on both Parties.
4. If the parties fail to reach an agreement within sixty (60) days after the Department receives
the Design-Builder’s detailed statement pursuant to Section 18.3.2, and such other documentation
as the Department may request, the Design -Builder may assert a claim in accordance with the
Agreement. In such a case, and subject to adjustment via the claims and disputes process, the
Department shall unilaterally grant the Design-Builder such adjustments, if any, to the Substantial
or Final Completion Dates, the GMP , and/or the Preconstruction or Design- Build Fee as the
Department has judged to be appropriate.
Section 18.4 Notice of Change Event.
The Design-Builder must give the Department written notice of any Change Event within
ten (10) calendar days of the date on which the Design-Builder knew, or reasonably should have
known, of the Change Event. To the extent available, the notice must state the nature of the
Change Event and describe, generally, all changes in the Agreement to which the Design-Builder
believes it is entitled. Such notice is an express condition precedent to any claim or request for
adjustment to the Substantial or Final Completion Dates, or the GMP arising from the Change
Event and, if the notice is not given within the required time, the Design-Builder will have
waived the right to any adjustment to the Substantial or Final Completion Dates, or the GMP
arising from the Change Event.
Section 18.5 Detailed Change Request.
Within twenty (20) days after giving notice of a Change Event, the Design-Builder shall submit a
written Change Request to the Department describing, in reasonable detail, all adjustments it
seeks to the Substantial or Final Completion Dates or the GMP as a result of the Change Event.
The Change Request shall include the same information as described in Section 18.3 with
respect to any Agreement changes the Design-Builder seeks due to the Change Event, and the
amount of any requested adjustment to the GMP shall be limited in accordance with that Section
18.3.
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Page 112 of 115
Section 18.6 Changes to GMP.
Subject to the condition precedent that the Design-Builder have complied with the notice
and documentation provisions of this Article, and subject to the limitations stated in this
Agreement, the Design-Builder is entitled to an adjustment to the GMP in the following cases:
1. If the Department issues a Change Directive or Change Order that directs the
Design-Builder to proceed with work which is beyond the scope of Work
included within this Agreement; or
2. The Design-Builder encounters Differing Site Conditions or Hazardous
Materials not identified in the Preconstruction Phase.
Section 18.7 Deductive Change Orders.
The Department reserves the right to issue deductive Change Orders (reducing the GMP or
modifying the Substantial or Final Completion Dates to an earlier date) when changes are
effected, by Change Directive or otherwise, which will decrease the cost of completing the
Work or the time within which it can be completed.
Section 18.8 No Adjustments to Fee.
The Design-Builder understands and agrees that the Design-Build Fee shall not be increased
or decreased as a result of any Change Orders or Change Directive. In furtherance of this
understanding, the Design-Builder agrees that it shall not be entitled to an increase in the Lump
Sum General Conditions Cost, or the Design-Build Fee by virtue of changes authorized by
the Department unless such changes fall outside the general scope of work contemplated by
this Agreement. The term general scope of work shall mean a state-of-the-art recreation center
facility that is consistent with the Department’s program of requirements and incorporates
sustainable design initiatives. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood
and agreed that the Design-Builder shall not be entitled to any additional fees or general
conditions unless (i) the Department makes additions to the scope provided for in this
Agreement that cause the GMP, either individually or in the aggregate, to increase by more
than ten percent (10%); or (ii) the Department makes additions to the scope provided for
herein which (other than for punchlist or warranty work) require the Design-Builder’s services
for the Project to extend beyond 30 days after Substantial Completion.
Section 18.9 Executed Change Orders Final.
The Design-Builder agrees that any Change Order executed by the Department and Design-
Builder constitutes its full and final adjustment for all costs, delays, disruptions, inefficiencies,
accelerations, schedule impacts, or other consequences arising from the change in question,
whether a Change Directive, or a Change Event, or from any claimed cumulative effect of
changes made to the date of the Change Order, and that no further adjustments in compensation
or time shall be sought or made with respect to the Change Directive or the Change Event giving
rise to the Change Order. Although the Parties anticipate that most Change Orders will not require
an adjustment to the Cost of General Conditions, if the Work described in a Change Order requires
an increase or decrease in the Lump Sum General Conditions Cost (i.e. because such a Change
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Page 113 of 115
requires additional field staff or other equipment that would be classified as General Conditions
Costs), the Change Order shall contain an increase to the Design-Build Fee adjusting such amount.
The cost of processing a Change Order shall not be considered an event that will require an increase
in the Lump Sum General Conditions Cost.
Section 18.10 Failure to Agree.
If the Design-Builder claims entitlement to a change in the Agreement, and the Department
does not agree that any action or event has occurred to justify any change in time or
compensation, or if the Parties fail to agree upon the appropriate amount of the adjustment in time
or compensation, the Department will unilaterally make such changes, if any, to the Agreement,
as it determines are appropriate pursuant to the Agreement. The Design-Builder shall proceed
with the Work and the Department's directives, without interruption or delay, and shall make a
claim as provided in Article 18 herein. Failure to proceed due to a dispute over a change
request shall constitute a material breach of the Contract and entitle the Department to all
available remedies for such breach, including, without limitation, termination for default.

Introduction
Definition of Recreation Centers specifications
Recreation centers facilities provide a range of ac tivities and services that encourage community
cohesion, improve public health, foster civic bonds and quality of life. They are considered by
the department of parks and recreation as a highly important community resource.
Regarding the facility’s anticipated uses, the pres ent document outlines minimum design
standards that should be taken into consideration while designing any recreation center facility. It
addresses the individual spaces required in the bui lding and the desired characteristics of each
space in general terms.
Principal aims and objectives of this document
The review of Recreation centers facilities has bee n undertaken to guide future planning across
DC. Provision of RC facilities has been considered in terms of quality, quantity and accessibility.
The main objectives are:
1. Set up a pre-design definition of a recreation center facility for the 4 types;
2. List the space requirements in the facility;
3. Explain the Functional relationships;
4. Define the building system requirements;
5. Address the desired characteristics of each space i ncluding furniture and equipment
with their description.
A successful RC Specifications process
Planning and development of all recreation centers facilities is a collaborative process involving
the neighborhood citizens, the community leaders an d all relevant departments like the local
police and fire chiefs who should be asked for inpu t on safety for example. Community
consultation with residents in the identification o f the RC program is an important principle in
the development of the DPR facilities. Meetings hav e to be held at least 3 times : predesign
phase, final design phase and the kick off meeting with the BD firm to start the construction.
DPR conduct the needs assessment each 5 years for d etermining and addressing needs, or "gaps"
between current conditions and desired conditions o r "wants" of DC population. It also provides
an indication of public opinion and some meaningful statistics. Add statistics or any relevant data
from surveys.

OVERVIEW
DPR vision
To be America’s Gold Standard for Parks and Recreat ion agencies and to be THE place in the
District of Columbia where the fun happens .
DPR Mission
To provide equal and open access to Gold Standard recreational programs, services, and facilities
– across all 8 Wards.
Recreation Centers facilities
Recreation centers are everywhere in the city. DPR provides essential recreation services to
residents, workers, and visitors. The District owns and manages 73 recreation centers throughout
the District’s neighborhoods, which gives it one of the highest number of recreation centers per
capita nationwide.
Recreation Center facilities include all indoor community halls and areas, regardless of size, and
indoor youth and senior centers. Many of the facilities are multi-functional, providing local space
for early childhood education; computer labs; class rooms; gymnasiums; fitness rooms and
others. Some of the larger facilities also offer sp ort, recreation opportunities and aquatics
facilities.
Classification
DPR plans for the provision of recreation centers f acilities according to a classification
corresponding to the residential development units outlined in the DC.Census. The hierarchy is
based on the neighborhood as the central core and r adiates to larger units and special uses. The
RC classification consists of Neighborhood Center-NC, Urban Center-UC, Community
Center-CC and District Center-DC.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
Principles/laws/guidelines!?
It is important to point out that LEED Certificatio n is a desired outcome. The building design
and construction of all DPR facilities are green bu ildings under LEED v4. and most of the
following specifications are including USGBC requirements.
Site selection
Location
DPR develops its projects on appropriate sites in a reas with existing infrastructure, avoiding all
sensitive lands. DPR’s work aims to reduce the environmental impact of new projects.
It is desirable that the site’s location is within the boundary of a development certified under
LEED for Neighborhood Development (Stage 2 or Stage 3 under the Pilot or 2009 rating
systems, Certified Plan or Certified Project under the LEED v4 rating system).
All DPR’s projects promote walkability and target 1 Mile of home for every resident which
reduces motor vehicle use, thereby reducing greenho use gas emissions, air pollution, and other
I
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Page 9
environmental and public health harms associated wi th motor vehicle use. The projects are also
located on a site whose surrounding existing densit y within a ¼-mile radius of the project
boundary.
Play fields should not be placed in low lying areas prone to retaining water.
DPR assesses site conditions before design to evalu ate sustainable options and inform related
decisions about site design.
Size
The site’s size must meet the minimum state require ments for size for all the different facilities :
Neighborhood Center-NC, Urban Center-UC, Community Center-CC and District Center-
DC.
External appearance
The recreation center (RC) boundaries are to be con figured in such a way as to optimize visual
access into the site and to the building.
Structures
Structures should be designed to resist vandalism.
Public Safety and Security
RC users’ safety is an important component of recre ation centers design and must be considered
early in the design process.
Prior to construction, RC designs should be reviewed by the appropriate division to ensure
pedestrian linkages are consistent with the neighborhood existing pedestrian infrastructure.
Accessibility
Accessibility for people with disabilities is a pri ority for the DPR, and all the facilities should
strive for an overall environment which is accessib le and provides a fulfilling recreational
experience for all people.
To ensure comprehensive accessibility, the design and construction of RC amenities should
comply with current
design standards for accessibility.
Parking is a requirement in the design of RCs and i s incorporated based on the program function
but in the meanwhile it mustn’t exceed the minimum local code requirements for parking
capacity.
If the intent is to use on-street parking for users of the RC, it is desirable to provide a sidewalk
adjacent to the curb to connect to RC accesses.
I

Page 10
DPR installs electrical vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) in 2% of all parking spaces used by the
project and clearly identifies and reserves these s paces for the sole use by plug-in electric
vehicles.
Environmental Conditions
RC design should recognize and, where possible, tak e advantage of natural site features
including sloping land, existing vegetation, riverbank areas, and water bodies identified in a early
stage of the site selection.
Protect key natural and cultural resources that are valuable to the community (Complete from the
LEED certification rating system.

Landscaping
DPR creates exterior open space that encourages int eraction with the environment, social
interaction, passive recreation, and physical activities.
Soils
We used to use a 50/50 or 70/30 topsoil to compost mix but we found that the compost just
disappears every year and we have to buy a lot more . Lately we've been ordering 100% sifted
topsoil (no backfill and completely free of trash and debris). Some places call it garden soil. And
we add a few bags of compost. We're shooting for 90/10 garden top soil to compost. Let me
know if you need more detail specs.

SBE SUBCONTRACTNG PLAN | Revised October 2023
SBE Subcontracting Plan
FAQs & Checklist
This Checklist and FAQs are being provided to assist you in com pleting the SBE Subcontracting Plan. You
must submit the Subcontracting Plan for all construction and no n-construction contracts for government-
assisted projects and for any application for a Class A Operato r, Class B Operator, or Management Service
Provider (MSP) license to be issued by the Office of Lottery & Gaming (OLG). You must adhere to all District
laws regarding the requirements of Subcontracting Plans, the in structions on the SBE Subcontracting Plan
(below), and any instructions provided by the procuring agency or OLG.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
¾ Who is required to complete an SBE Subcontracting Plan?
o All beneficiaries of construction or non-construction contract s for government-assisted projects in
excess of $250,000 must submit an SBE Subcontracting Plan unless the subcontracting
requirement is otherwise fully waived by the Director of the Department of Small & Local Business
Development. A partial waiver still requires an SBE Subcontracting Plan.
¾ What is the duration for allocating at least 35% of the contract value to SBE?
o For an agency contract at least 35% of the dollar volume of th e contract shall be subcontracted to
a qualified SBE for each performance period for the life of the contract.
¾ I am a CBE Prime Contractor doing 100% of the work under my contract, am I required to complete
the SBE Subcontracting Plan?
o If a CBE Prime is selected as a beneficiary of a construction or non-construction contract and will
perform 100% of the work, subcontracting is not required. If 100% of the work is performed by the
CBE Prime, it shall attest to completing 100% of the work. However, if a CBE Prime subcontracts
any portion of the work, 35% of the total amount subcontracted must be with anSBE. For example,
if a CBE Prime receives a contract for $1,000,000 and will perform only $900,000 of the contract,
35% of the remaining $100,000 (i.e., $35,000) must be subcontracted to qualified SBEs. The SBE
Subcontracting Plan, based on this example, should be completed.
¾ Will DSLBD credit 100% of a CBE’s subcontract towards my subcontracting goal?
o DSLBD will only provide credit towards your subcontracting goa l for work whereby a SBE provides
a commercially useful function. For example, if a Prime contractor awards a $100,000 contract to
an SBE subcontractor to procure software licenses at $95,000, and the remaining $5,000 is paid
to the SBE for obtaining those software licenses, only the $5,000 will be credited towards the
subcontracting goal. Any pass-thru costs or other work where the SBE is not providing a
commercially useful function--with its own organization and resources--will not be credited.
¾ Does my SBE Subcontracting Plan have to cover all options periods of the contract or solely the
current performance period?
o The SBE Subcontracting Plan sh ould only include information for the current period of
performance. Thus, the SBE Subcontracting Plan should not represent anticipated option periods.
A new subcontracting plan must be submitted and executed before the start of each period of
performance.
¾ The base period of my contract was awarded during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (i.e.,
March 11, 2020, through November 5, 2021). What is my subcontracting requirement for my
performance periods that fall outside of those dates?
o If the base period of your contr act was awarded during the public health emergency, you are
required to maintain a 50% subcontracting requirement for all options and extensions associated
with that contract unless otherwise reduced or waived by the Director of DSLBD.
¾ I do not believe I can meet the required 35% or 50% subcontracting requirement. What must I do to
waive this requirement?
o If you believe you cannot achieve the required subcontracting requirements, you should
communicate this concern to the contracting officer or other procuring staff before signing your
contract. Only the Director of DSLBD can waive the subcontracting requirements, and DSLBD
does not retroactively approve waivers. For instance, if a contract is executed before a final
determination has been rendered by DSLBD’s Director, you will be required to achieve the
subcontracting requirement, or the contract may be voided, pursuant to District law.
o T he contracting officer is required to submit a waiver request to DSLBD for the contract for each
period of performance. Beneficiaries are not permitted to submit a waiver request. DSLBD does
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
SBE SUBCONTRACTNG PLAN | Revised October 2023
not approve waivers retroactively; therefore, contracting officers and beneficiaries should ensure
that the waiver is approved prior to executing the contract. Otherwise, the contract is voidable
pursuant to District law.
¾ Can I utilize any CBE to meet my subconctrcting requirements or does it have to be an SBE
specifically?
If there are insufficient qualified SBEs to completely fulfill the subcontracting requirement, then the
requirement may be satisfied by subcontracting a CBE; provided, that all reasonable efforts shall
be made to ensure that qualified SBEs are significant participants in the overall subcontracting
work.

SBE SUBCONTRACTNG PLAN | Revised October 2023
SBE SUBCONTRACTING PLAN
INSTRUCTIONS: All construction & non-construction contracts for government-assisted projects
(agency contracts & private projects with a District subsidy) over $250,000, shall require at least
35% of the total dollar volume of the contract (i.e., the total amount of agency contract or total private
project development costs) be subcontracted to Small Business Enterprises (SBE), and if insufficient
qualified SBEs to Certified Business Enterprises (CBE). The SBE Subcontracting Plan must list all SBE
and CBE subcontracts at every tier. Once the SBE Subcontracting Plan is submitted for agency
contracts, options, and extension, it can only be amended by the Director of the Department of Small &
Local Business Development
SUBMISSION OF CBE PLAN:
¡ F o r agency solicitations – submit to the agency with bid/proposal.
¡ F o r agency options & extensions – submit to the agency before an option or extension is
exercised.
¡ F o r public-private projects – submit to DSLBD, the agency project manager, and with each
quarterly report. As private projects may not have awarded all contracts at the time the District
subsidy is granted, the SBE Subcontracting Plan may be submitted simultaneously with each
quarterly report and list all SBE/CBE subcontracts executed by the time of submission.
CREDIT: For each subcontract listed on the SBE Subcontracting Plan, credit will only be given for the
portion of the subcontract performed, at every tier, by an SBE/CBE using its own organization and
resources. COPIES OF EACH FULLY EXECUTED SUBCONTRACT WITH SBEs AND CBEs (AT
EVERY TIER) MUST BE PROVIDED TO RECEIVE CREDIT.
CERTIFICATION INFORMATION: Certification as a Local Business Enterprise (LBE) is a prerequisite
to be certified in any additional business enterprise category within the CBE Program.
The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) is a category of the Certification. However, not all CBEs have a
Small Business Enterprise (SBE) category. If the subcontracting plan is with a CBE without the SBE
category, the contract may not receive credit towards the subcontracting goal for work provided by the
CBE if there were qualified SBEs that could have been utilized to completely fulfill the subcontracting
requirement.
The certification number must include the Local Business Enterprise (LBE) and Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) categories. i.e., Certification Number:LSXXXXXXXXX2026.
SUBCONTRACTING CREDIT PURSUANT D.C. LAW 24-39:
Pursuant to the Coronavirus Support Temporary Amendment Act of 2021 and the Public Emergency
Extension and Eviction and Utility Moratorium Phasing Emergency Amendment Act of 2021, contracts
awarded during the Public Health Emergency shall receive credit as follows:
(1) For every dollar expended by a beneficiary with a resident-owned business, the beneficiary
shall receive a credit for $1.10 against the CBE minimum expenditure.
(2) For every dollar expended by a beneficiary with a disadvantaged business enterprise, the
beneficiary shall receive a credit for $1.25 against the CBE minimum expenditure.
(3) For every dollar expended by a beneficiary that uses a company designated as both a
disadvantaged business enterprise and as a resident-owned business, the beneficiary shall
receive a maximum credit for $1.30 against the CBE minimum expenditure.
EXEMPTION: If the Beneficiary (e.g., the Prime Contractor or Developer) is a CBE and will perform
the ENTIRE government-assisted project with its own organization and resources and will NOT
subcontract any portion of the services and goods, then the CBE Beneficiary is not required to
subcontract to SBEs.

with the federal government in connection with seasonal recreational services or
seasonal recreational equipment rental for the general public on federal lands. The
minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 also are not currently being
enforced as to any contract or subcontract to which the states of Texas, Louisiana,
or Mississippi, including their agencies, are a party.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal
Contractors, applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act for which
the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1,
2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees
with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid
sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their
own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to
assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill,
injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for
reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family
to the employee) who is the victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or
stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections
under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.
ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:
HEALTH & WELFARE: $5.36 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $214.40 per week or
$929.07 per month
HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $4.93 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $197.20 per
week, or $854.53 per month*
*This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-
covered contract also covered by EO 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal
Contractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any
paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.
VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or
successor, 3 weeks after 5 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service
includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or
successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the
performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)
HOLIDAYS: A minimum of eleven paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin
Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth
National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans'
Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for any of
the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated
to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4.174)
THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:
1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: This wage determination does not apply to any individual
employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity, as
defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. (See 41 C.F.R. 6701(3)). Because most Computer
Systems Analysts and Computer Programmers who are paid at least $27.63 per hour (or
at least $684 per week if paid on a salary or fee basis) likely qualify as exempt
computer professionals under 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(1) and 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(17), this wage
determination may not include wage rates for all occupations within those job
families. In such instances, a conformance will be necessary if there are nonexempt
employees in these job families working on the contract.
Job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, and are not
determinative of whether an employee is an exempt computer professional. To be
exempt, computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements must also have
a primary duty that consists of:
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
4/7/25, 1:18 PM SAM.gov
https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-4281/32 9/11
(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including
consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional
specifications;
(2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or
modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and
related to user or system design specifications;
(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer
programs related to machine operating systems; or
(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of which
requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).
Any computer employee who meets the applicable compensation requirements and the
above duties test qualifies as an exempt computer professional under both section
13(a)(1) and section 13(a)(17) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. (Field Assistance
Bulletin No. 2006-3 (Dec. 14, 2006)). Accordingly, this wage determination will not
apply to any exempt computer employee regardless of which of these two exemptions is
utilized.
2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you
work at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differential
and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am.
If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of your
regularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sunday
premium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime
(i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is considered
overtime work).
** HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL **
An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that
represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to
ordnance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as
screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordnance, explosives,
and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder and photoflash powder.
All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization,
modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operations on sensitive
ordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving re-grading
and cleaning of artillery ranges.
A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that
represents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity to
ordnance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials
which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of the
employee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and the like;
minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used. All
operations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordnance, explosive, and
incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials
are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for
ordnance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.
** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **
If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract
(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state or
local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by
laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an
employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage
determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the
following standards as compliance:
The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
4/7/25, 1:18 PM SAM.gov
https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-4281/32 10/11
adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual
cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made
the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject to
this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining
agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contrary
affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaning
and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, in
those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of ""wash and wear""
materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and do
not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commercial
laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms
of the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work,
there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.
** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS **
The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the
""Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations"", Fifth Edition (Revision 1),
dated September 2015, unless otherwise indicated.
** REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE, Standard
Form 1444 (SF-1444) **
Conformance Process:
The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is
not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to
be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage
determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable
relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted
classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR
4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be initiated by the contractor
prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees
(See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a final
determination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits which
shall be paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first day
of work on which contract work is performed by them in the classification. Failure
to pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested
parties and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to the
date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Act
and this contract. (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(v)). When multiple wage determinations are
included in a contract, a separate SF-1444 should be prepared for each wage
determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.
The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:
1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed
occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).
2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in order
the proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each
proposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wage
rate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the
authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorized
representative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the
contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees
performs any contract work.
3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a report
of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent
information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the U.S.
Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)).
4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or
disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, or
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
4/7/25, 1:18 PM SAM.gov
https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-4281/32 11/11
notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to process
the request.
5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour Division's decision to the
contractor.
6) Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copy
of such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (See
29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)).
Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF-1444 or bond paper.
When preparing a conformance request, the ""Service Contract Act Directory of
Occupations"" should be used to compare job definitions to ensure that duties
requested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wage
determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks that
determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.
Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivide
classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1))."

solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this
contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide
employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours
they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.
Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their
own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including
preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other
health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons
resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is
like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic
violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information
on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO
is available at
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.
Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
the scope of the classifications listed may be added after
award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses
(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).
----------------------------------------------------------------
The body of each wage determination lists the classifications
and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the
type(s) of construction and geographic area covered by the wage
determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical
order under rate identifiers indicating whether the particular
rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate), a survey
rate, a weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate, or a
supplemental classification rate.
Union Rate Identifiers
A four-letter identifier beginning with characters other than
""SU"", ""UAVG"", ?SA?, or ?SC? denotes that a union rate was
prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:
PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an identifier of the union
whose collectively bargained rate prevailed in the survey for
this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers.
0198 indicates the local union number or district council
number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next
number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in
processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2024 in the
example, is the effective date of the most current negotiated
rate.

4/7/25, 1:28 PM SAM.gov
https://sam.gov/wage-determination/DC20250002/4 8/9
Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all changes
over time that are reported to WHD in the rates
in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing the
classification.
Union Average Rate Identifiers
The UAVG identifier indicates that no single rate prevailed for
those classifications, but that 100% of the data reported for
the classifications reflected union rates. EXAMPLE:
UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a
weighted union average rate. OH indicates the State of Ohio.
The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number
used in producing the wage determination. The date, 01/01/2024
in the example, indicates the date the wage determination was
updated to reflect the most current union average rate.
A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January, to
reflect a weighted average of the current rates in the
collective bargaining agreements on which the rate is based.
Survey Rate Identifiers
The ""SU"" identifier indicates that either a single non-union
rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this
classification in the survey or that the rate was derived by
computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates
reported in the survey for that classification. As a weighted
average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may
include both union and non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-007
6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-union
prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for that
classification. FL indicates the State of Florida. 2022 is the
year of the survey on which these classifications and rates are
based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal
number used in producing the wage determination. The date,
6/27/2024 in the example, indicates the survey completion date
for the classifications and rates under that identifier.
?SU? wage rates typically remain in effect until a new survey
is conducted. However, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has the
discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).
State Adopted Rate Identifiers
The ""SA"" identifier indicates that the classifications and
prevailing wage rates set by a state (or local) government were
adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007
01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted. ME
refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which the
state completed the survey on which the listed classifications
and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an
internal number used in producing the wage determination.
The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on which
the classifications and rates under the ?SA? identifier took
effect under state law in the state from which the rates were
adopted.

29 CFR Subtitle A (7–1–24 Edition) §§ 5.3–5.4
Wages. The term ‘‘wages’’ means the
basic hourly rate of pay; any contribu-
tion irrevocably made by a contractor
or subcontractor to a trustee or to a
third person pursuant to a bona fide
fringe benefit fund, plan, or program;
and the rate of costs to the contractor
or subcontractor which may be reason-
ably anticipated in providing bona fide
fringe benefits to laborers and mechan-
ics pursuant to an enforceable commit-
ment to carry out a financially respon-
sible plan or program, which was com-
municated in writing to the laborers
and mechanics affected. The fringe
benefits enumerated in the Davis-
Bacon Act include medical or hospital
care, pensions on retirement or death,
compensation for injuries or illness re-
sulting from occupational activity, or
insurance to provide any of the fore-
going; unemployment benefits; life in-
surance, disability insurance, sickness
insurance, or accident insurance; vaca-
tion or holiday pay; defraying costs of
apprenticeship or other similar pro-
grams; or other bona fide fringe bene-
fits. Fringe benefits do not include ben-
efits required by other Federal, State,
or local law.
Wage determination. The term ‘‘wage
determination’’ includes the original
decision and any subsequent decisions
revising, modifying, superseding, cor-
recting, or otherwise changing the pro-
visions of the original decision. The ap-
plication of the wage determination
must be in accordance with the provi-
sions of § 1.6 of this subtitle.
[88 FR 57731, Aug. 23, 2023]
§§ 5.3–5.4 [Reserved]
§ 5.5 Contract provisions and related
matters.
(a) Required contract clauses. The
Agency head will cause or require the
contracting officer to require the con-
tracting officer to insert in full, or (for
contracts covered by the Federal Ac-
quisition Regulation (48 CFR chapter
1)) by reference, in any contract in ex-
cess of $2,000 which is entered into for
the actual construction, alteration
and/or repair, including painting and
decorating, of a public building or pub-
lic work, or building or work financed
in whole or in part from Federal funds
or in accordance with guarantees of a
Federal agency or financed from funds
obtained by pledge of any contract of a
Federal agency to make a loan, grant
or annual contribution (except where a
different meaning is expressly indi-
cated), and which is subject to the
labor standards provisions of any of the
laws referenced by § 5.1, the following
clauses (or any modifications thereof
to meet the particular needs of the
agency, Provided, That such modifica-
tions are first approved by the Depart-
ment of Labor):
(1) Minimum wages—(i) Wage rates and
fringe benefits. All laborers and mechan-
ics employed or working upon the site
of the work (or otherwise working in
construction or development of the
project under a development statute),
will be paid unconditionally and not
less often than once a week, and with-
out subsequent deduction or rebate on
any account (except such payroll de-
ductions as are permitted by regula-
tions issued by the Secretary of Labor
under the Copeland Act (29 CFR part
3)), the full amount of basic hourly
wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or
cash equivalents thereof) due at time
of payment computed at rates not less
than those contained in the wage de-
termination of the Secretary of Labor
which is attached hereto and made a
part hereof, regardless of any contrac-
tual relationship which may be alleged
to exist between the contractor and
such laborers and mechanics. As pro-
vided in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this
section, the appropriate wage deter-
minations are effective by operation of
law even if they have not been at-
tached to the contract. Contributions
made or costs reasonably anticipated
for bona fide fringe benefits under the
Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 3141(2)(B))
on behalf of laborers or mechanics are
considered wages paid to such laborers
or mechanics, subject to the provisions
of paragraph (a)(1)(v) of this section;
also, regular contributions made or
costs incurred for more than a weekly
period (but not less often than quar-
terly) under plans, funds, or programs
which cover the particular weekly pe-
riod, are deemed to be constructively
made or incurred during such weekly
period. Such laborers and mechanics
must be paid the appropriate wage rate

Office of the Secretary of Labor § 5.5
and fringe benefits on the wage deter-
mination for the classification(s) of
work actually performed, without re-
gard to skill, except as provided in
paragraph (a)(4) of this section. Labor-
ers or mechanics performing work in
more than one classification may be
compensated at the rate specified for
each classification for the time actu-
ally worked therein: Provided, That the
employer’s payroll records accurately
set forth the time spent in each classi-
fication in which work is performed.
The wage determination (including any
additional classifications and wage
rates conformed under paragraph
(a)(1)(iii) of this section) and the Davis-
Bacon poster (WH–1321) must be posted
at all times by the contractor and its
subcontractors at the site of the work
in a prominent and accessible place
where it can be easily seen by the
workers.
(ii) Frequently recurring classifications.
(A) In addition to wage and fringe ben-
efit rates that have been determined to
be prevailing under the procedures set
forth in 29 CFR part 1, a wage deter-
mination may contain, pursuant to
§ 1.3(f), wage and fringe benefit rates for
classifications of laborers and mechan-
ics for which conformance requests are
regularly submitted pursuant to para-
graph (a)(1)(iii) of this section, pro-
vided that:
(1) The work performed by the classi-
fication is not performed by a classi-
fication in the wage determination for
which a prevailing wage rate has been
determined;
(2) The classification is used in the
area by the construction industry; and
(3) The wage rate for the classifica-
tion bears a reasonable relationship to
the prevailing wage rates contained in
the wage determination.
(B) The Administrator will establish
wage rates for such classifications in
accordance with paragraph
(a)(1)(iii)(A)(3) of this section. Work
performed in such a classification must
be paid at no less than the wage and
fringe benefit rate listed on the wage
determination for such classification.
(iii) Conformance. (A) The contracting
officer must require that any class of
laborers or mechanics, including help-
ers, which is not listed in the wage de-
termination and which is to be em-
ployed under the contract be classified
in conformance with the wage deter-
mination. Conformance of an addi-
tional classification and wage rate and
fringe benefits is appropriate only
when the following criteria have been
met:
(1) The work to be performed by the
classification requested is not per-
formed by a classification in the wage
determination; and
(2) The classification is used in the
area by the construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including
any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a
reasonable relationship to the wage
rates contained in the wage determina-
tion.
(B) The conformance process may not
be used to split, subdivide, or otherwise
avoid application of classifications list-
ed in the wage determination.
(C) If the contractor and the laborers
and mechanics to be employed in the
classification (if known), or their rep-
resentatives, and the contracting offi-
cer agree on the classification and
wage rate (including the amount des-
ignated for fringe benefits where appro-
priate), a report of the action taken
will be sent by the contracting officer
by email to DBAconformance@dol.gov.
The Administrator, or an authorized
representative, will approve, modify, or
disapprove every additional classifica-
tion action within 30 days of receipt
and so advise the contracting officer or
will notify the contracting officer
within the 30–day period that addi-
tional time is necessary.
(D) In the event the contractor, the
laborers or mechanics to be employed
in the classification or their represent-
atives, and the contracting officer do
not agree on the proposed classifica-
tion and wage rate (including the
amount designated for fringe benefits,
where appropriate), the contracting of-
ficer will, by email to
DBAconformance@dol.gov, refer the
questions, including the views of all in-
terested parties and the recommenda-
tion of the contracting officer, to the
Administrator for determination. The
Administrator, or an authorized rep-
resentative, will issue a determination
within 30 days of receipt and so advise
the contracting officer or will notify
the contracting officer within the 30–

day period that additional time is nec-
essary.
(E) The contracting officer must
promptly notify the contractor of the
action taken by the Wage and Hour Di-
vision under paragraphs (a)(1)(iii)(C)
and (D) of this section. The contractor
must furnish a written copy of such de-
termination to each affected worker or
it must be posted as a part of the wage
determination. The wage rate (includ-
ing fringe benefits where appropriate)
determined pursuant to paragraph
(a)(1)(iii)(C) or (D) of this section must
be paid to all workers performing work
in the classification under this con-
tract from the first day on which work
is performed in the classification.
(iv) Fringe benefits not expressed as an
hourly rate. Whenever the minimum
wage rate prescribed in the contract
for a class of laborers or mechanics in-
cludes a fringe benefit which is not ex-
pressed as an hourly rate, the con-
tractor may either pay the benefit as
stated in the wage determination or
may pay another bona fide fringe ben-
efit or an hourly cash equivalent there-
of.
(v) Unfunded plans. If the contractor
does not make payments to a trustee
or other third person, the contractor
may consider as part of the wages of
any laborer or mechanic the amount of
any costs reasonably anticipated in
providing bona fide fringe benefits
under a plan or program, Provided,
That the Secretary of Labor has found,
upon the written request of the con-
tractor, in accordance with the criteria
set forth in § 5.28, that the applicable
standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have
been met. The Secretary of Labor may
require the contractor to set aside in a
separate account assets for the meet-
ing of obligations under the plan or
program.
(vi) Interest. In the event of a failure
to pay all or part of the wages required
by the contract, the contractor will be
required to pay interest on any under-
payment of wages.
(2) Withholding—(i) Withholding re-
quirements. The [write in name of Fed-
eral agency or the recipient of Federal
assistance] may, upon its own action,
or must, upon written request of an au-
thorized representative of the Depart-
ment of Labor, withhold or cause to be
withheld from the contractor so much
of the accrued payments or advances as
may be considered necessary to satisfy
the liabilities of the prime contractor
or any subcontractor for the full
amount of wages and monetary relief,
including interest, required by the
clauses set forth in paragraph (a) of
this section for violations of this con-
tract, or to satisfy any such liabilities
required by any other Federal con-
tract, or federally assisted contract
subject to Davis-Bacon labor stand-
ards, that is held by the same prime
contractor (as defined in § 5.2). The nec-
essary funds may be withheld from the
contractor under this contract, any
other Federal contract with the same
prime contractor, or any other feder-
ally assisted contract that is subject to
Davis-Bacon labor standards require-
ments and is held by the same prime
contractor, regardless of whether the
other contract was awarded or assisted
by the same agency, and such funds
may be used to satisfy the contractor
liability for which the funds were with-
held. In the event of a contractor’s fail-
ure to pay any laborer or mechanic, in-
cluding any apprentice or helper work-
ing on the site of the work (or other-
wise working in construction or devel-
opment of the project under a develop-
ment statute) all or part of the wages
required by the contract, or upon the
contractor’s failure to submit the re-
quired records as discussed in para-
graph (a)(3)(iv) of this section, the
[Agency] may on its own initiative and
after written notice to the contractor,
sponsor, applicant, owner, or other en-
tity, as the case may be, take such ac-
tion as may be necessary to cause the
suspension of any further payment, ad-
vance, or guarantee of funds until such
violations have ceased.
(ii) Priority to withheld funds. The De-
partment has priority to funds with-
held or to be withheld in accordance
with paragraph (a)(2)(i) or (b)(3)(i) of
this section, or both, over claims to
those funds by:
(A) A contractor’s surety(ies), includ-
ing without limitation performance
bond sureties and payment bond sure-
ties;
(B) A contracting agency for its re-
procurement costs;

(C) A trustee(s) (either a court-ap-
pointed trustee or a U.S. trustee, or
both) in bankruptcy of a contractor, or
a contractor’s bankruptcy estate;
(D) A contractor’s assignee(s);
(E) A contractor’s successor(s); or
(F) A claim asserted under the
Prompt Payment Act, 31 U.S.C. 3901–
3907.
(3) Records and certified payrolls —(i)
Basic record requirements —(A) Length of
record retention. All regular payrolls
and other basic records must be main-
tained by the contractor and any sub-
contractor during the course of the
work and preserved for all laborers and
mechanics working at the site of the
work (or otherwise working in con-
struction or development of the project
under a development statute) for a pe-
riod of at least 3 years after all the
work on the prime contract is com-
pleted.
(B) Information required. Such records
must contain the name; Social Secu-
rity number; last known address, tele-
phone number, and email address of
each such worker; each worker’s cor-
rect classification(s) of work actually
performed; hourly rates of wages paid
(including rates of contributions or
costs anticipated for bona fide fringe
benefits or cash equivalents thereof of
the types described in 40 U.S.C.
3141(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act);
daily and weekly number of hours ac-
tually worked in total and on each cov-
ered contract; deductions made; and
actual wages paid.
(C) Additional records relating to fringe
benefits. Whenever the Secretary of
Labor has found under paragraph
(a)(1)(v) of this section that the wages
of any laborer or mechanic include the
amount of any costs reasonably antici-
pated in providing benefits under a
plan or program described in 40 U.S.C.
3141(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the
contractor must maintain records
which show that the commitment to
provide such benefits is enforceable,
that the plan or program is financially
responsible, and that the plan or pro-
gram has been communicated in writ-
ing to the laborers or mechanics af-
fected, and records which show the
costs anticipated or the actual cost in-
curred in providing such benefits.
(D) Additional records relating to ap-
prenticeship. Contractors with appren-
tices working under approved programs
must maintain written evidence of the
registration of apprenticeship pro-
grams, the registration of the appren-
tices, and the ratios and wage rates
prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii) Certified payroll requirements —(A)
Frequency and method of submission. The
contractor or subcontractor must sub-
mit weekly, for each week in which
any DBA- or Related Acts-covered
work is performed, certified payrolls to
the [write in name of appropriate Fed-
eral agency] if the agency is a party to
the contract, but if the agency is not
such a party, the contractor will sub-
mit the certified payrolls to the appli-
cant, sponsor, owner, or other entity,
as the case may be, that maintains
such records, for transmission to the
[write in name of agency]. The prime
contractor is responsible for the sub-
mission of all certified payrolls by all
subcontractors. A contracting agency
or prime contractor may permit or re-
quire contractors to submit certified
payrolls through an electronic system,
as long as the electronic system re-
quires a legally valid electronic signa-
ture; the system allows the contractor,
the contracting agency, and the De-
partment of Labor to access the cer-
tified payrolls upon request for at least
3 years after the work on the prime
contract has been completed; and the
contracting agency or prime con-
tractor permits other methods of sub-
mission in situations where the con-
tractor is unable or limited in its abil-
ity to use or access the electronic sys-
tem.
(B) Information required. The certified
payrolls submitted must set out accu-
rately and completely all of the infor-
mation required to be maintained
under paragraph (a)(3)(i)(B) of this sec-
tion, except that full Social Security
numbers and last known addresses,
telephone numbers, and email address-
es must not be included on weekly
transmittals. Instead, the certified
payrolls need only include an individ-
ually identifying number for each
worker (e.g., the last four digits of the
worker’s Social Security number). The

29 CFR Subtitle A (7–1–24 Edition) § 5.5
required weekly certified payroll infor-
mation may be submitted using Op-
tional Form WH–347 or in any other
format desired. Optional Form WH–347
is available for this purpose from the
Wage and Hour Division website at
https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/
WHD/legacy/files/wh347/.pdf or its suc-
cessor website. It is not a violation of
this section for a prime contractor to
require a subcontractor to provide full
Social Security numbers and last
known addresses, telephone numbers,
and email addresses to the prime con-
tractor for its own records, without
weekly submission by the subcon-
tractor to the sponsoring government
agency (or the applicant, sponsor,
owner, or other entity, as the case may
be, that maintains such records).
(C) Statement of Compliance. Each cer-
tified payroll submitted must be ac-
companied by a ‘‘Statement of Compli-
ance,’’ signed by the contractor or sub-
contractor, or the contractor’s or sub-
contractor’s agent who pays or super-
vises the payment of the persons work-
ing on the contract, and must certify
the following:
(1) That the certified payroll for the
payroll period contains the informa-
tion required to be provided under
paragraph (a)(3)(ii) of this section, the
appropriate information and basic
records are being maintained under
paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section, and
such information and records are cor-
rect and complete;
(2) That each laborer or mechanic
(including each helper and apprentice)
working on the contract during the
payroll period has been paid the full
weekly wages earned, without rebate,
either directly or indirectly, and that
no deductions have been made either
directly or indirectly from the full
wages earned, other than permissible
deductions as set forth in 29 CFR part
3; and
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has
been paid not less than the applicable
wage rates and fringe benefits or cash
equivalents for the classification(s) of
work actually performed, as specified
in the applicable wage determination
incorporated into the contract.
(D) Use of Optional Form WH–347. The
weekly submission of a properly exe-
cuted certification set forth on the re-
verse side of Optional Form WH–347
will satisfy the requirement for sub-
mission of the ‘‘Statement of Compli-
ance’’ required by paragraph
(a)(3)(ii)(C) of this section.
(E) Signature. The signature by the
contractor, subcontractor, or the con-
tractor’s or subcontractor’s agent must
be an original handwritten signature or
a legally valid electronic signature.
(F) Falsification. The falsification of
any of the above certifications may
subject the contractor or subcon-
tractor to civil or criminal prosecution
under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 31 U.S.C. 3729.
(G) Length of certified payroll reten-
tion. The contractor or subcontractor
must preserve all certified payrolls
during the course of the work and for a
period of 3 years after all the work on

contractor must maintain this con-
tract or subcontract and related docu-
ments including, without limitation,
bids, proposals, amendments, modifica-

(iv) Required disclosures and access —
(A) Required record disclosures and access
to workers. The contractor or subcon-
tractor must make the records re-
quired under paragraphs (a)(3)(i)
through (iii) of this section, and any
other documents that the [write the
name of the agency] or the Department
of Labor deems necessary to determine
compliance with the labor standards
provisions of any of the applicable stat-
utes referenced by § 5.1, available for
inspection, copying, or transcription
by authorized representatives of the
[write the name of the agency] or the
Department of Labor, and must permit
such representatives to interview

hours on the job, the Federal agency
may, after written notice to the con-
tractor, sponsor, applicant, owner, or
other entity, as the case may be, that
maintains such records or that em-
ploys such workers, take such action
as may be necessary to cause the sus-
pension of any further payment, ad-
vance, or guarantee of funds. Further-
more, failure to submit the required
records upon request or to make such
records available, or to permit worker
interviews during working hours on the
job, may be grounds for debarment ac-
tion pursuant to § 5.12. In addition, any
contractor or other person that fails to
submit the required records or make
those records available to WHD within
the time WHD requests that the
records be produced will be precluded
from introducing as evidence in an ad-
ministrative proceeding under 29 CFR
part 6 any of the required records that
were not provided or made available to
WHD. WHD will take into consider-
ation a reasonable request from the
contractor or person for an extension
of the time for submission of records.
WHD will determine the reasonableness
of the request and may consider,
among other things, the location of the
records and the volume of production.
(C) Required information disclosures.
Contractors and subcontractors must
maintain the full Social Security num-
ber and last known address, telephone
number, and email address of each cov-
ered worker, and must provide them
upon request to the [write in name of
appropriate Federal agency] if the
agency is a party to the contract, or to
the Wage and Hour Division of the De-
partment of Labor. If the Federal agen-
cy is not such a party to the contract,
the contractor, subcontractor, or both,
must, upon request, provide the full
Social Security number and last known
address, telephone number, and email
address of each covered worker to the
applicant, sponsor, owner, or other en-
tity, as the case may be, that main-
tains such records, for transmission to
the [write in name of agency], the con-
tractor, or the Wage and Hour Division
of the Department of Labor for pur-
poses of an investigation or other com-
pliance action.
(4) Apprentices and equal employment
opportunity—(i) Apprentices—(A) Rate of
pay. Apprentices will be permitted to
work at less than the predetermined
rate for the work they perform when
they are employed pursuant to and in-
dividually registered in a bona fide ap-
prenticeship program registered with
the U.S. Department of Labor, Employ-
ment and Training Administration, Of-
fice of Apprenticeship (OA), or with a
State Apprenticeship Agency recog-
nized by the OA. A person who is not
individually registered in the program,
but who has been certified by the OA or
a State Apprenticeship Agency (where
appropriate) to be eligible for proba-
tionary employment as an apprentice,
will be permitted to work at less than
the predetermined rate for the work
they perform in the first 90 days of pro-
bationary employment as an appren-
tice in such a program. In the event
the OA or a State Apprenticeship
Agency recognized by the OA with-
draws approval of an apprenticeship
program, the contractor will no longer
be permitted to use apprentices at less
than the applicable predetermined rate
for the work performed until an accept-
able program is approved.
(B) Fringe benefits. Apprentices must
be paid fringe benefits in accordance
with the provisions of the apprentice-
ship program. If the apprenticeship
program does not specify fringe bene-
fits, apprentices must be paid the full
amount of fringe benefits listed on the
wage determination for the applicable
classification. If the Administrator de-
termines that a different practice pre-
vails for the applicable apprentice clas-
sification, fringe benefits must be paid
in accordance with that determination.
(C) Apprenticeship ratio. The allowable
ratio of apprentices to journeyworkers
on the job site in any craft classifica-
tion must not be greater than the ratio
permitted to the contractor as to the
entire work force under the registered
program or the ratio applicable to the
locality of the project pursuant to
paragraph (a)(4)(i)(D) of this section.
Any worker listed on a payroll at an
apprentice wage rate, who is not reg-
istered or otherwise employed as stated
in paragraph (a)(4)(i)(A) of this section,

128
29 CFR Subtitle A (7–1–24 Edition) § 5.5
must be paid not less than the applica-
ble wage rate on the wage determina-
tion for the classification of work actu-
ally performed. In addition, any ap-
prentice performing work on the job
site in excess of the ratio permitted
under this section must be paid not
less than the applicable wage rate on
the wage determination for the work
actually performed.
(D) Reciprocity of ratios and wage
rates. Where a contractor is performing
construction on a project in a locality
other than the locality in which its
program is registered, the ratios and
wage rates (expressed in percentages of
the journeyworker’s hourly rate) appli-
cable within the locality in which the
construction is being performed must
be observed. If there is no applicable
ratio or wage rate for the locality of
the project, the ratio and wage rate
specified in the contractor’s registered
program must be observed.
(ii) Equal employment opportunity. The
use of apprentices and journeyworkers
under this part must be in conformity
with the equal employment oppor-
tunity requirements of Executive Order
11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30.
(5) Compliance with Copeland Act re-
quirements. The contractor shall com-
ply with the requirements of 29 CFR
part 3, which are incorporated by ref-
erence in this contract.
(6) Subcontracts. The contractor or
subcontractor must insert in any sub-
contracts the clauses contained in
paragraphs (a)(1) through (11) of this
section, along with the applicable wage
determination(s) and such other
clauses or contract modifications as
the [write in the name of the Federal
agency] may by appropriate instruc-
tions require, and a clause requiring
the subcontractors to include these
clauses and wage determination(s) in
any lower tier subcontracts. The prime
contractor is responsible for the com-
pliance by any subcontractor or lower
tier subcontractor with all the con-
tract clauses in this section. In the
event of any violations of these
clauses, the prime contractor and any
subcontractor(s) responsible will be lia-
ble for any unpaid wages and monetary
relief, including interest from the date
of the underpayment or loss, due to
any workers of lower-tier subcontrac-
tors, and may be subject to debarment,
as appropriate.
(7) Contract termination: debarment. A
breach of the contract clauses in 29
CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termi-
nation of the contract, and for debar-
ment as a contractor and a subcon-
tractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
(8) Compliance with Davis-Bacon and
Related Act requirements. All rulings and
interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and
Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts
1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by
reference in this contract.
(9) Disputes concerning labor standards.
Disputes arising out of the labor stand-
ards provisions of this contract shall
not be subject to the general disputes
clause of this contract. Such disputes
shall be resolved in accordance with
the procedures of the Department of
Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6,
and 7. Disputes within the meaning of
this clause include disputes between
the contractor (or any of its sub-
contractors) and the contracting agen-
cy, the U.S. Department of Labor, or
the employees or their representatives.
(10) Certification of eligibility. (i) By
entering into this contract, the con-
tractor certifies that neither it nor any
person or firm who has an interest in
the contractor’s firm is a person or
firm ineligible to be awarded Govern-
ment contracts by virtue of 40 U.S.C.
3144(b) or § 5.12(a).
(ii) No part of this contract shall be
subcontracted to any person or firm in-
eligible for award of a Government
contract by virtue of 40 U.S.C. 3144(b)
or § 5.12(a).
(iii) The penalty for making false
statements is prescribed in the U.S.
Code, Title 18 Crimes and Criminal
Procedure, 18 U.S.C. 1001.
(11) Anti-retaliation. It is unlawful for
any person to discharge, demote, in-
timidate, threaten, restrain, coerce,
blacklist, harass, or in any other man-
ner discriminate against, or to cause
any person to discharge, demote, in-
timidate, threaten, restrain, coerce,
blacklist, harass, or in any other man-
ner discriminate against, any worker
or job applicant for:

conduct which the worker reasonably
believes constitutes a violation of the

(b) Contract Work Hours and Safety
Standards Act (CWHSSA). The Agency
Head must cause or require the con-
tracting officer to insert the following
clauses set forth in paragraphs (b)(1)
through (5) of this section in full, or
(for contracts covered by the Federal
Acquisition Regulation) by reference,
in any contract in an amount in excess
of $100,000 and subject to the overtime
provisions of the Contract Work Hours
and Safety Standards Act. These
clauses must be inserted in addition to
the clauses required by paragraph (a) of
this section or 29 CFR 4.6. As used in
this paragraph (b), the terms ‘‘laborers
and mechanics’’ include watchpersons
and guards.
(1) Overtime requirements. No con-
tractor or subcontractor contracting
for any part of the conract work which
may require or involve the employ-
ment of laborers or mechanics shall re-
quire or permit any such laborer or me-
chanic in any workweek in which he or
she is employed on such work to work
in excess of forty hours in such work-
week unless such laborer or mechanic
receives compensation at a rate not
less than one and one-half times the
basic rate of pay for all hours worked
in excess of forty hours in such work-
week.
(2) Violation; liability for unpaid wages;
liquidated damages. In the event of any
violation of the clause set forth in
paragraph (b)(1) of this section the con-
tractor and any subcontractor respon-
sible therefor shall be liable for the un-
paid wages and interest from the date
of the underpayment. In addition, such
contractor and subcontractor shall be
liable to the United States (in the case
of work done under contract for the
District of Columbia or a territory, to
such District or to such territory), for
liquidated damages. Such liquidated
damages shall be computed with re-
spect to each individual laborer or me-
chanic, including watchpersons and
guards, employed in violation of the
clause set forth in paragraph (b)(1) of
this section, in the sum of $32 for each
calendar day on which such individual
was required or permitted to work in
excess of the standard workweek of
forty hours without payment of the
overtime wages required by the clause
set forth in paragraph (b)(1).
(3) Withholding for unpaid wages and
liquidated damages —(i) Withholding
process. The [write in the name of the
Federal agency or the recipient of Fed-
eral assistance] may, upon its own ac-
tion, or must, upon written request of
an authorized representative of the De-
partment of Labor, withhold or cause
to be withheld from the contractor so
much of the accrued payments or ad-
vances as may be considered necessary
to satisfy the liabilities of the prime
contractor or any subcontractor for
any unpaid wages; monetary relief, in-
cluding interest; and liquidated dam-
ages required by the clauses set forth
in this paragraph (b) on this contract,
any other Federal contract with the
same prime contractor, or any other
federally assisted contract subject to
the Contract Work Hours and Safety
Standards Act that is held by the same
prime contractor (as defined in § 5.2).
The necessary funds may be withheld
from the contractor under this con-
tract, any other Federal contract with
the same prime contractor, or any
other federally assisted contract that
is subject to the Contract Work Hours
and Safety Standards Act and is held
by the same prime contractor, regard-
less of whether the other contract was
awarded or assisted by the same agen-
cy, and such funds may be used to sat-
isfy the contractor liability for which
the funds were withheld.
(ii) Priority to withheld funds. The De-
partment has priority to funds with-
held or to be withheld in accordance
with paragraph (a)(2)(i) or (b)(3)(i) of

and a clause requiring the subcontrac-
tors to include these clauses in any
lower tier subcontracts. The prime con-
tractor is responsible for compliance
by any subcontractor or lower tier sub-
contractor with the clauses set forth in

subcontractor(s) responsible will be lia-
ble for any unpaid wages and monetary
relief, including interest from the date

Contract Work Hours and Safety
Standards Act (CWHSSA) or its imple-
menting regulations in this part;

or causing to be initiated any pro-
ceeding, or otherwise asserting or seek-

(iii) Cooperating in any investigation
or other compliance action, or testi-
fying in any proceeding under CWHSSA
or this part; or
(iv) Informing any other person

and not to any of the other laws ref-
erenced by § 5.1, the Agency Head must
cause or require the contracting officer

work and must preserve them for a pe-
riod of 3 years after all the work on the
prime contract is completed for all la-
borers and mechanics, including guards
and watchpersons, working on the con-
tract. Such records must contain the
name; last known address, telephone
number, and email address; and social
security number of each such worker;
each worker’s correct classification(s)
of work actually performed; hourly
rates of wages paid; daily and weekly
number of hours actually worked; de-
ductions made; and actual wages paid.
Further, the Agency Head must cause
or require the contracting officer to in-
sert in any such contract a clause pro-
viding that the records to be main-
tained under this paragraph must be
made available by the contractor or
subcontractor for inspection, copying,
or transcription by authorized rep-
resentatives of the (write the name of
agency) and the Department of Labor,

in any lower-tier subcontracts, the in-
corporation by reference of the re-
quired contract clauses and appro-
priate wage determinations will be
given the same force and effect as if
they were inserted in full text.
(e) Incorporation by operation of law.
The contract clauses set forth in this
section (or their equivalent under the
Federal Acquisition Regulation), along
with the correct wage determinations,
will be considered to be a part of every
prime contract required by the applica-
ble statutes referenced by § 5.1 to in-
clude such clauses, and will be effective
by operation of law, whether or not
they are included or incorporated by
reference into such contract, unless the
Administrator grants a variance, toler-
ance, or exemption from the applica-
tion of this paragraph. Where the
clauses and applicable wage determina-
tions are effective by operation of law
under this paragraph, the prime con-
tractor must be compensated for any
resulting increase in wages in accord-
ance with applicable law.

§ 5.6 Enforcement.
(a) Agency responsibilities. (1)(i) The
Federal agency has the initial responsi-
bility to ascertain whether the clauses
required by § 5.5 and the appropriate
wage determination(s) have been incor-
porated into the contracts subject to
the labor standards provisions of the
laws referenced by § 5.1. Additionally, a
Federal agency that provides Federal
financial assistance that is subject to
the labor standards provisions of the
Act must promulgate the necessary
regulations or procedures to require
the recipient or sub-recipient of the
Federal assistance to insert in its con-
tracts the provisions of § 5.5. No pay-
ment, advance, grant, loan, or guar-
antee of funds will be approved by the
Federal agency unless it ensures that
the clauses required by § 5.5 and the ap-
propriate wage determination(s) are in-
corporated into such contracts. Fur-
thermore, no payment, advance, grant,
loan, or guarantee of funds will be ap-
proved by the Federal agency after the
beginning of construction unless there
is on file with the Federal agency a
certification by the contractor that the
contractor and its subcontractors have
complied with the provisions of § 5.5 or
unless there is on file with the Federal
agency a certification by the con-
tractor that there is a substantial dis-
pute with respect to the required provi-
sions.
(ii) If a contract subject to the labor
standards provisions of the applicable
statutes referenced by § 5.1 is entered
into without the incorporation of the
clauses required by § 5.5, the agency
must, upon the request of the Adminis-
trator or upon its own initiative, either
terminate and resolicit the contract
with the required contract clauses, or
incorporate the required clauses into
the contract (or ensure they are so in-
corporated) through supplemental
agreement, change order, or any and
all authority that may be needed.
Where an agency has not entered di-
rectly into such a contract but instead
has provided Federal financial assist-
ance, the agency must ensure that the
recipient or sub-recipient of the Fed-
eral assistance similarly incorporates
the clauses required into its contracts.
The method of incorporation of the
correct wage determination, and ad-
justment in contract price, where ap-
propriate, should be in accordance with
applicable law. Additionally, the fol-
lowing requirements apply:
(A) Unless the Administrator directs
otherwise, the incorporation of the
clauses required by § 5.5 must be retro-
active to the date of contract award or

ARTICLE 3. CHANGES
A. DESIGNATED CHANGE ORDERS —The Contracting Officer may, at any time, without notice to
the sureties, by written order designated or i ndicated to be a change order, make any change in
the work within the general scope of the Contract, including but not limited to changes
1. In the Contract drawings and specifications;

3. In the Government furnished facilities, equipment, materials or services; or
4. Directing acceleration in the performance of the work.
Nothing provided in this Article shall excuse the Contractor from proceeding with the prosecution
of the work so changed.
B. OTHER CHANGE ORDERS —Any other written order or an oral order (which term as used in this
Section (B) shall include direction, instruction, interpretation, or de termination) from the
Contracting Officer which causes any such change, shall be treated as a Change Order under
this Article, provided that the Contractor gives the Contracting O fficer written notice stating the
date, circumstances and sources of the order a nd that the Contractor regards the order as a
Change Order.
C. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS —Except as herein provided, no orde r, statement or conduct of the
Contracting Officer shall be treated as a change un der this Article or entitle the Contractor to an
equitable adjustment hereunder. If any change under this Article causes an increase or decrease
in the Contractor’s cost of, or the time required for, the performance of any part of the work under
this Contract whether or not changed by any order, an equitable adjustment shall be made and
the Contract modified in writing accordingly; prov ided, however, that except for claims based on
defective specifications, no claim for any change under (B) above shall be allowed for any cost
incurred more than 20 days before the Contractor gives written notice as therein required unless
this 20 days is extended by the Contracting Officer a nd provided further, that in case of defective
drawings and specifications, the equitable adjustment shall include any increased cost
reasonably incurred by the Contractor in attempti ng to comply with such defective drawings and
specifications.
If the Contractor intends to assert a claim for an equitable adjustment under this Article, he must,
within 30 days after receipt of a written Change Order under (A) above or the furnishing of a
written notice under (B) above, s ubmit to the Contracting Officer a written statement setting forth

Standard Contract Provisions - Page 3 of 24
With respect to the notification requirements hereunder, time is of the essence. A failure to
provide timely notice constitutes wa iver of the claim. No claim by the Contractor for an equitable
adjustment hereunder shall be allowed if asserted after final payment under the Contract.
D. CHANGE ORDER BREAKDOWN —Contract prices shall be used for Change Order work where
work is of similar nature; no other costs, overhead or profit will be allowed.
Where Contract prices are not appropriate and the nature of the change is known in advance of
construction, the parties shall attempt to agree on a fully justifiable price adjustment and/or
adjustment of completion time.
When Contract prices are not appropriate, or t he parties fail to agree on equitable adjustment, or
in processing claims, equitable adjustment for Change Order work shall be per this Article and
Article 4 and shall be based upon the breakdown shown in following subsections 1. through 7.
The Contractor shall assemble a complete cost breakdown that lists and substantiates each item
of work and each item of cost.
1. Labor —Payment will be made for direct labor cost plus indirect labor cost such as
insurance, taxes, fringe benefits and welf are provided such costs are considered
reasonable. Indirect costs shall be itemized and verified by receipted invoices. If
verification is not possible, up to 18 percent of direct labor costs may be allowed. In
addition, up to 20 percent of direct plus indi rect labor costs may be allowed for overhead
and profit.
2. Bond —Payment for additional bond cost will be made per bond rate schedule submitted
to the Office of Contracting and Procurement with the executed Contract.
3. Materials —Payment for cost of required materials w ill be F.O.B. destination (the job site)
with an allowance for overhead and profit.
4. Rented Equipment —Payment for required equipment rented from an outside company
that is neither an affiliate of, nor a subsidiary of, the Contractor will be based on receipted
invoices which shall not exceed rates given in the current edition of the Rental Rate Blue
Book for Construction Equipment published by Data Quest. If actual rental rates exceed
manual rates, written justification shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer for
consideration. No additional allowance will be made for overhead and profit. The
Contractor shall submit written certification to the Contracting Officer that any required
rented equipment is neither owned by nor rented from the Contractor or an affiliate of or
subsidiary of the Contractor.
5. Contractor’s Equipment — Payment for required equipmen t owned by the Contractor or
an affiliate of the Contractor will be based sole ly on an hourly rate derived by dividing the
current appropriate monthly rate by 176 hours. No payment will be made under any
circumstances for repair costs, freight and transportation charges, fuel, lubricants,
insurance, any other costs and expenses, or overhead and profit. Payment for such
equipment made idle by delays attributable to the Government will be based on one-half
the derived hourly rate under this subsection.
6. Miscellaneous —No additional allowance will be made for general superintendence, use
of small tools and other costs for which no specific allowance is herein provided.

Standard Contract Provisions - Page 4 of 24
7. Subcontract Work —Payment for additional necessary subcontract work will be based
on applicable procedures in 1. through 6., to which total additional subcontract work up to
an additional 10 percent may be allowed for the Contractor’s overhead and profit.
ARTICLE 4. EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT OF CONTRACT TERMS
The Contractor is entitled to an equitable adjustment of the contract terms whenever the following
situations develop:
A. DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS:
1. During the progress of the work, if subsurface or latent physical conditions are encountered
at the site differing materially from those indicated in the contract or if unknown physical
conditions of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and
generally recognized as inherent in the work provided for in the contract, are encountered at
the site, the Contractor, upon discovering such conditions, shall promptly notify the
Contracting Officer in writing of the specific differing conditions before they are disturbed and
before the affected work is performed.
2. Upon written notification, the Contracting Officer will investigate the conditions, and if he/she
determines that the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost
or time required for the performance of any work under the contract, an adjustment, excluding
loss of anticipated profits, will be made and the contract modified in writing accordingly. The
Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor of his/her determination whether or not an
adjustment of the contract is warranted.
3. No contract adjustment which results in a benefit to the Contractor will be allowed unless the
Contractor has provided the required written notice; a failure to notify the Contracting Officer
of the changed conditions prior to work being disturbed by said conditions shall constitute a
permanent waiver of all right to compensation related to the changed conditions by the
Contractor.
4. No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause for any effects caused on
unchanged work.
B. SUSPENSION OF WORK ORDERED BY THE CONTRACTING OFFICER:
1. If the performance of all or any portion of the work is suspended or delayed by the
Contracting Officer in writing for an unreasonable period of time (not originally anticipated,
customary, or inherent to the construction industry) and the Contractor believes that
additional compensation and/or contract time is due as a result of such suspension or delay,
the Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer in writing a request for equitable
adjustment within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the notice to resume work. The
request shall set forth the reasons and support for such adjustment.
2. Upon receipt, the Contracting Officer will evaluate the Contractor’s request. If the Contracting
Officer agrees that the cost and/or time required for the performance of the contract has
increased as a result of such suspension and the suspension was caused by conditions
beyond the control or and not the fault of the contractor, its suppliers, or subcontractors at
any approved tier, and not caused by weather, the Contracting Officer will make an
adjustment (excluding profit) and modify the contract in writing accordingly. The Contracting
Officer will notify the Contract of his/her determination whether or not an adjustment of the
contract is warranted.
3. No contract adjustment will be allowed unless the Contractor has submitted the request for
adjustment within the time prescribed; a failure to submit a request for adjustment in the time
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Standard Contract Provisions - Page 5 of 24
prescribed shall constitute waiver of all right to compensation related to the suspension of
work by the Contractor.
4. No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause to the extent that performance would
have been suspended or delayed by any other cause, or for which an adjustment is provided
for or excluded under any other term of condition of this contract.
C. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE CHARACTER OF WORK :
1. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to make, in writing, at any time during the work,
such changes in quantities and such alterations in the work as are necessary to satisfactorily
complete the project. Such changes in quantities and alterations shall not invalidate the
contract nor release the surety, and the Contractor agrees to perform the work as altered.
2. If the alterations or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the work under
the contract, whether or not changed by any such different quantities or alterations, an
adjustment, excluding loss of anticipated profits, will be made to the contract. The basis for
the adjustment shall be agreed upon prior to the performance of the work. If a basis cannot
be agreed upon, then an adjustment will be made either for or against the Contractor in such
amount as the Contracting Officer may determine to be fair and reasonable.
3. If the alterations or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the work to be
performed under the contract, the altered work will be paid for as provided elsewhere in the
contract.
4. The term “significant change” shall be construed to apply only to the following circumstances:
a. When the character of the work as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that
involved or included in the original proposed construction; or
b. When an item of work is increased in excess of 125 percent or decreased below 75
percent of the original contract quantity. Any allowance for an increase in quantity
shall apply only to that portion in excess of 125 percent of original contract item
quantity, or in the case of a decrease below 75 percent, to the actual amount of work
performed.
ARTICLE 5. TERMINATION
TERMINATION GENERALLY- Termination, whether for default or convenience, is not a Government
claim. The Contracting Officer may terminate a contract for default, in whole or in part, if the termination
is in the best interests of the Government, and the Contractor does any of the following:
(a) Fails to deliver the goods or complete the work or services within t he time specified in the
contract or any modification;
(b) Fails to make sufficient progress on contract performance so as to endanger performance of the
contract within the time specified or in the manner specified in the contract;
(c) Fails or refuses to go forward with the work in accordance with the direction of the Contracting
Officer;
(d) Expresses through word or conduct an intention not to complete the work in accordance with the
directions of the Contracting Officer;
(e) Fails to perform any of the ot her provisions of the contract;
(f) Materially deviates from the representations and capabilities set fort h in the Contractor’s
response to the solicitation.
A termination for default is a final decision of a Contract ing Officer. In order to contest a termination for
default, the Contractor must submit a certified request to convert the termination for default to a
termination for convenience with all documents suppor ting such conversion and co mply with all contract
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Standard Contract Provisions - Page 6 of 24
provisions and laws relating to terminations for convenience, including the submission of a certified
termination for convenience settlement proposal. The submission of the certified request for conversion to
a termination for convenience and certified terminat ion settlement proposal to the Contracting Officer
must occur prior to 90 days from the date of the Contracting Officer’s final decision.
DELAYS—If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecut e the work, or any separable part thereof, with
such diligence as will insure its co mpletion within the time specified in the Contract, or any extension
thereof, or fails to complete said wo rk within specified time, the Government may, by written notice to the
Contractor, terminate his right to proceed with the work or such part of the work involving the delay. In
such event the Government may take over the work and prosecute the same to completion, by contract or
otherwise, and may take possession of and utilize in completing the work such materials, appliances, and
plant as may have been paid for by the Government or may be on the site of the work and necessary
therefore. Whether or not the Cont ractor’s right to proceed with the work is terminated, he and his
sureties shall be liable for any liabilit y to the Government resulting from his refusal or failure to complete
the work within the specified time.
If fixed and agreed liquidated damages are provided in the Contract and if the Government does not so
terminate the Contractor’s right to proceed, the resulting damage will consist of such liquidated damages
until the work is completed and accepted.
The Contractor’s right to proceed shall not be so te rminated nor the Contractor charged with resulting
damage if:
1. The delay in the completion the work arises fr om unforeseeable causes beyond the control and
without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, including but not re stricted to acts of God, acts
of the public enemy, acts of the Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, acts of
another contractor in the performance of a contract with the Government, fires, floods, epidemics,
quarantine restrictions, st rikes, freight embargoes, climatic conditions beyond the normal which
could be anticipated, or delays of subcontractors or suppliers arising from unforeseeable causes
beyond the control and without the fault or negl igence of both the Contractor and such
subcontractors or suppliers (the term subcontra ctors or suppliers shall mean subcontractors or
suppliers at any tier); and
2. The Contractor, within 72 hours from the beginnin g of any such delay, (unless the Contracting
Officer grants a further period of time before the date of final payment under the Contract) notifies
the Contracting Officer in writing of the causes of delay.
The Contracting Officer shall asce rtain the facts and the extent of the delay and extend the time far
completing the work when, in his judgment, the findings of fact justify such an extension, and his findings
of fact shall be final and conclusive on the parties, subject only to appeal as provided in Article 7 herein.
If, after notice of termination of the Co ntractor’s right to proceed under the provisions of this Article, it is
determined for any reason that the Cont ractor was not in default under the provisions of this Article, or
that the delay was excusable under the provisions of th is Article, the rights and obligations of the parties
shall be in accordance with Article 6 herein. Failure to agree to any such adjustment shall be a dispute
concerning a question of fact within the meaning of Article 7 herein.
The rights and remedies of the Government provided in this Article are in addition to any other rights and
remedies provided by law or under the Contract.
The Government may, by written notice, terminate the Contract or a portion ther eof as a result of an
Executive Order of the President of the United States with respect to the prosecution of war or in the
interest of national defense. When the Contract is so terminated, no claim for loss of anticipated profits
will be permitted.
ARTICLE 6. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE OF THE GOVERNMENT
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Standard Contract Provisions - Page 7 of 24
A. The performance of work under the Contract may be terminated by the Government in
accordance with this Article in whole, or in part, whenever the Contracting Officer shall
determine that such termination is in the best interest of the Government. Any such termination
shall be effected by delivery to the Contractor of a Notice of Termination specifying the extent
to which performance of work under the Contra ct is terminated, and the date upon which such
termination becomes effective.
B. After receipt of a Notice of Termination, and ex cept as otherwise direct ed by the Contracting
Officer, the Contractor shall:
1. Stop work under the Contract on the date and to the extent specified in the Notice of
Termination.

discretion, to settle or pay any or all claims arising out of the termination of such orders and
subcontracts.
5. Settle all outstanding liabilities and all claims aris ing out of such termination of orders or
subcontracts, with the approval or ratification of the Contracting Officer to the extent he may
require, which approval or ratification shall be final for all purposes of this Article.

any, directed by the Contracting Officer
:
a. The fabricated or unfabricated parts, work in progress, completed work, supplies, and
other material procured as a part of, or acquired in connection with, the performance
of the work terminated by the Notice of Termination, and
b. The completed, or partially completed plans, drawings information and other property
which, if the Contract bad been completed, would have been required to be furnished
to the Government.
7. Use his best efforts to sell, in the manner, at the terms, to the extent, and at the
price or prices directed or authorized by the Contracting Officer, any property of the
types referred to in 6 above provided, however, that the Contractor:
a. Shall not be required to extend credit to any purchaser, and
b. May acquire any property under the condition s prescribed and at a price or prices
approved by the Contracting Officer, and
c. Provided further, that the proceeds of any such transfer or disposition shall be applied
in reduction of any payments to be made by the Government to the Contractor under
the Contract or shall otherwise be credited to the price or cost of the work covered by
the Contract or paid in such other manner as the Contracting Officer may direct.
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Standard Contract Provisions - Page 8 of 24
8. Complete performance of such part of the work as shall not have been terminated by the
Notice of Termination.
9. Take such action as may be necessary, or as the Contracting Officer may direct, for the
protection and preservation of the property related to the Contract which is in the
possession of the Contractor and in which the Government has or may acquire an
interest.
10. The Contractor shall proceed immediately with the performance of the above
obligations notwithstanding any delay in determi ning or adjusting the cost, or any item of
reimbursable cost, under this Article.
11. “Plant clearance period” means, for each particular property classification (such as
raw materials, purchased parts and work in progress) at any one plant or location, a
period beginning with the effective date of the termination for convenience and ending 90
days after receipt by the Contracting Officer of acceptable inventory schedules covering
all items of that particular property classificati on in the termination inventory at that plant
or location, or ending on such later date as may be agreed to by the Contracting Officer
and the Contractor. Final phase of a plant clearance period means that part of a plant
clearance period which occurs alter the receipt of acceptable inventory schedules
covering all items of the particular property classification at the plant or location.
At any time after expiration of the plant clearance period, as defined above, the Contractor
may submit to the Contracting Officer a list, ce rtified as to quantity and quality, of any or
all items of termination inventory not prev iously disposed of, exclusive of items the
disposition of which has been directed or aut horized by the Contracting Officer, and may
request the Government to remove such items or enter into a storage agreement covering
them. Not later than 15 days thereafter, the Government will accept title to such items and
remove them or enter into a storage agreem ent covering the same; provided, that the list
submitted shall be subject to verification by the Contracting Officer upon removal of the
items or, if the items are stored, within 45 days from the date of submission of the list, and
any necessary adjustments to correct the list as submitted, shall be made prior to final
settlement.
C. After receipt of a Notice of Termination, the C ontractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer
his termination claim, in the form with the cert ification prescribed by the Contracting Officer.
Such claim shall be submitted promptly but in no event later than 90 days from the effective
date of termination, unless one or more extensio ns in writing are granted by the Contracting
Officer upon request of the Contractor made in writing within such 90 day period or authorized
extension thereof. In the event the Contractor was te rminated for default and it asserts that it is
entitled to a termination for convenience, its cert ified request for the conv ersion of the default
termination to one for convenience and its cert ified termination settlement proposal must be
submitted to the Contracting Officer prior to the expiration of 90 days from the date of the
default termination. With respect to a terminat ion for convenience, if the Contracting Officer
determines that the facts justify such action, he may receive and act upon any such termination
claim at any time after such 90 day period or extension thereof. Nothing herein shall be
construed to extend the time for the submission of a claim hereunder for a defaulted Contractor
beyond 90 days from the date of the default termi nation. Upon failure of the Contractor to
submit his termination claim within the time allowed, the Contracting Officer may, subject to any
review required by the Government’s procedures in effect as of the date of execution of the
Contract, determine, on the basis of information av ailable to him, the amount, if any, due to the
Contractor by reason of the termination and sha ll thereupon pay to the Contractor the amount
so determined.
D. Subject to the provisions of C above, and subjec t to any review required by the Government’s
procedures in effect as of the date of executio n of the Contract, the Contractor and Contracting
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Standard Contract Provisions - Page 9 of 24
Officer may agree upon the whole or any part of the amount or amounts to be paid to the
Contractor by reason of the total or partial term ination of work pursuant to this Article, which
amount or amounts may include a reasonable allowanc e for profit on work done; provided, that
such agreed amount or amounts, exclusive of settlement costs, shall not exceed the total
Contract price as reduced by the amount of payments otherwise made and as further reduced
by the Contract price of work not terminated. The Contract shall be amended accordingly, and
the Contractor shall be paid the agreed amount. Nothing in E below prescribing the amount to
be paid to the Contractor in the event of failure of the Contractor and the Contracting Officer to
agree upon the whole amount to be paid to the Cont ractor by reason of the termination of work
pursuant to this Article, shall be deemed to limi t, restrict or otherwise determine or effect the
amount or amounts which may be agreed upon to be paid to the Contractor pursuant to this
paragraph.
E. In the event of the failure of t he Contractor and the Contracting Officer to agree as provided in
D above upon the whole amount to be paid to the Contractor by reason of the termination of
work pursuant to this Article, the Contracting Officer shall, subject to any review required by the
Government’s procedures in effect as of the date of execution of t he Contract, determine, on
the basis of information available to him, the amount, if any, due the Contractor by reason of
the termination and shall pay to the Contractor the amounts determined by the Contracting
Officer, as follows, but without duplication of any amounts agreed upon in accordance with D
above:
1. With respect to all Contract work performed prior to the effective date of the Notice of
Termination, the total (without duplication of any items) of:
a. The cost of such work;
b. The cost of settling and paying claims arising out of the termination of
work under subcontracts or orders as provided in B 5. above, exclusive
of the amounts paid or payable on account of supplies or materials
delivered or services furnished by the subcontractor prior to the
effective date of the Notice of Term ination of work under the Contract,
which amounts shall be included in the cost on account of which
payment is made under E1.a. above; and
c. A sum, as profit on E.1.a. above, determined by the Contracting
Officer to be fair and reasonable; prov ided however, that if it appears
that the Contractor would have sust ained a loss on the entire Contract
had it been completed, no profit sha ll be included or allowed under this
subparagraph and an appropriate adjustment shall be made reducing
the amount of the settlement to reflect the indicated rate of loss; and
provided further that profit shall be allowed only on preparations made
and work done by the Contractor fo r the terminated portion of the
Contract but may not be allowed on the Contractor’s settlement
expenses. Anticipatory profits and consequential damages will not be
allowed. Any reasonable method may be used to arrive at a fair profit,
separately or as part of the whole settlement.
2. The reasonable cost of the preservation and protection of property incurred
pursuant to B.9; and any other reasonable cost incidental to termination of work
under the Contract including expense incidental to the determination of the
amount due to the Contractor as the result of the termination of work under the
Contract.
F. The total sum to be paid to me Contractor under E.1. above shall not exceed the total
Contract price as reduced by the amount of payments otherwise made and as further
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
Standard Contract Provisions - Page 10 of 24
reduced by the Contract price of work not terminated. Except for normal spoilage, and
except to the extent that the Government shall have otherwise expressly assumed the risk
of loss, there shall be excluded from the amounts payable to the Contractor under
E.1. above, the fair value, as determined by the Contracting Officer, of property which
is destroyed, lost, stolen or damaged so as to become undeliverable to the Government, or
to a buyer pursuant to B.7 above.
G. The Contractor shall have the right of appeal, under Article 7 herein, from any
determination made by the Contracting Officer un der C. or E. above, except that, if the
Contractor has failed to submit his claim within the time provided in C above and has failed to
request extension of such time, he shall have no such right of appeal. In any case where the
Contracting Officer has made a determination of the amount due under C. or E. above, the
Government shall pay to the Contractor the following:
1. If there is no right of appeal hereunder or if no timely appeal has been taken, the
amount so determined by the Contracting Officer, or
2. If an appeal had been taken, the amount finally determined on such appeal.
H. In arriving at the amount due the Contractor under this Article there shall be deducted:
1. all unliquidated advance or other payments on account theretofore made to the
Contractor, applicable to the terminated portion of the Contract;
2. any claim which the Government may have against the Contractor in connection with
the Contract; and
3. the agreed price for, or the proceeds of sale of, any materials, supplies or other things
kept by the Contractor or sold, pursuant to the provisions of this Article and not
otherwise recovered by or credited to the Government.
I. If the termination hereunder be partial, prior to the settlement of the terminated portion of the
Contract, the Contractor may file with the C ontracting Officer a request in writing for an
equitable adjustment of the price or prices specif ied in the Contract relating to the continued
portion of the Contract (the portion not termi nated by the Notice of Termination), and such
equitable adjustment as may be agreed upon shall be made at such price or prices; however,
nothing contained herein shall limit the right of the Government and the Contractor to agree
upon the amount or amounts to be paid to the Co ntractor for the completion of the continued
portion of the Contract when said Contract does not contain an established Contract price for
such continued portion.
J. The Government may from time to time, under such terms and conditions as it may prescribe,
make partial payments against costs incurred by the Contractor in connection with the
terminated portion of the Cont ract whenever in the opinion of the Contracting Officer the
aggregate of such payments shall be within t he amount to which the Contractor will be
entitled hereunder. If the total of such payments is in excess of the amount finally agreed or
determined to be due under this Article, such ex cess Shall be payable by the Contractor to
the Government upon demand, together with intere st computed at the rate of 6 percent per
annum for the period from the date such excess is received by the Contractor to the date on
which such excess is repaid to the Government; provided however, that no interest shall be
charged with respect to any such excess payment attributable to a reduction in the
Contractor’s claim by reason of retention or other disposition of termination inventory until ten
days after the date of such retention or dispos ition, or such later date as determined by the
Contracting Officer by reason of the circumstances.

claim relating to that contract, is a claim that can be resolved under a contract clause that provides for the
relief sought by the claimant.
(a) All claims by a Contractor against the Government arising under or relating to a contract shall be
in writing and shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for a decision.
(b) Within 120 days after receipt of a claim, the Contracting Officer shall issue a decision, whenever

time period shall be deemed to be a denial of the claim and shall authorize the commencement of
an appeal on the claim as otherwise provided.

reviewing that part of the Contractor’s claim.

misrepresentation of fact or fraud.
(e) All cost data, pricing data, and task data of claims hereunder must be certified as accurate,

Government, including the Contracting Officer, seeking, as a matter of right, the payment of money in a
sum certain, the adjustment of contract terms, or other relief arising under or relating to this contract. A
claim arising under a contract, unlike a claim relating to that contract, is a claim that can be resolved
under a contract clause that provides for the relief sought by the claimant. Nothing herein shall be
construed to require the Government to notify the Contractor prior to the issuance of the Contracting
Officer’s final decision.
(b) (1) All claims by the Government against a Contractor arising under or relating to a contract shall be
decided by the Contracting Officer, who shall issue a decision in writing and furnish a copy of the decision

ARTICLE 8. PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR —Unless otherwise provided in the Contract, the
Government will pay the contract price or prices as hereinafter provided in accordance with Government
regulations.
The Government will make progress payments monthl y as the work proceeds, or at more frequent
intervals as determined by the Contracting Officer, on estimates approved by the Contracting Officer.
The Contractor shall furnish a breakdown of the total Contract price showing the amount included
therein for each principal category of the work, in such detail as requested, to provide a basis for
determining progress payments. In the preparation of estimates the Contracting Officer, at his discretion,
may authorize material delivered on the site and preparatory work done to be taken into consideration.
Material delivered to the Contractor at locations other than the site may also be taken into consideration:
1. If such consideration is specifically authorized by the Contract;
2. If the Contractor furnishes satisfactory evidence that he has acquired title to such material, that it
meets Contract requirements and that it will be utilized on the work covered by the Contract; and
3. If the Contractor furnishes to the Contracting Officer an itemized list.
The Contracting Officer at his/her discretion shall cause to be withheld retention in an amount sufficient
to protect the interest of the Government. Unless otherwise agreed, the amount shall not exceed ten
percent (10%) of the partial payment. However, if the Contracting Officer, at any time after 50 percent of
the work has been completed, finds that satisfactory progress is being made, he may authorize any of
the remaining progress payments to be made in full or may retain from such remaining partial payments
less than 10 percent thereof. Also, whenever work is substantially complete, th e Contracting Officer, if
he considers the amount retained to be in excess of the amount adequate fo r the protection of the
Government, at his discretion, may release to the C ontractor all or a porti on of such excess amount.
Furthermore, on completion and acceptance of each sepa rate building, public work, or other division of
the Contract, on which the price is stated separate ly in the Contract, payment may be made therefore
without retention of a percentage, less authorized deductions.
All material and work covered by progress payments made shall thereupon become the sole property of
the Government, but this provision shall not be cons trued as relieving the Contractor from the sole
responsibility for all material and work upon which payments have been made or the restoration of any
damaged work, or as waiving the right of the Government to require the fulfillment of all of the terms of
the Contract.

Standard Contract Provisions - Page 13 of 24
Upon completion and acceptance of all work, the amount due the Contractor under the Contract shall be
paid upon presentation at a properly executed voucher and after the Contractor shall have furnished the
Government with a release, if required, of all clai ms against the Government arising by virtue of the
Contract, other than claims in stated amounts as may be specifically excepted by the Contractor from
the operation of the release.
ARTICLE 9. TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT —Unless otherwise provided by law, neither the Contract
nor any interest therein may be transferred or assigned by the Contractor to any other party without the
written consent of the Contracting Officer nor with out the written acceptance by the surety on the
performance and payment bond securing the Contract of the assignee as the Contractor and the
principal on such bond; and any attempted transfer or assignment not authorized by this Article shall
constitute a breach of the Contract and the Government may for such cause terminate the right of the
Contractor to proceed in the same manner as provi ded in Article 5 herein, and the Contractor and his
sureties shall be liable to the Government for any excess cost occasioned the Government thereby.
ARTICLE 10. MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP
A. GENERAL —Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Contract, all equipment, material and
articles incorporated in the work covered by t he Contract shall be new and of the most suitable
grade for the purpose intended. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Contract, reference

competition., and the Contractor may use any equipment, material, article or process which, in
the judgment of the Contracting Officer, is equi valent to that named unless otherwise specified.
The Contractor shall furnish to the Contract ing Officer for his approval the name of the
manufacturer, the model number, and other i dentifying data and information respecting the

Contracting Officer that materials become the property of the Contractor, which by
reference or otherwise shall include disposal of materials, it is understood that the

other use, public or private, than that for which they are issued to the Contractor. The full amount

the Contracting Officer, will be charged against the Contractor and his sureties and may be
deducted from any monies due the Contractor, and th is charge shall be in addition to and not in
lieu of any other liabilities of t he Contractor whether civil or cr iminal. Materials furnished by the
Government for which a charge is made at a rate mentioned in the specifications will be delivered
to the Contractor upon proper requisitions therefore and will be charged to his account.

lighting required for night work as directed, as a Contract requirement. All equipment, tools,
formwork and staging used on the project shall be of sufficient size and in proper mechanical and
safe condition to meet work requirements, to produce satisfactory work quality and to prevent
injury to persons, the project or adjacent property. When methods and equipment are not
prescribed in the Contract, the Contractor is fr ee to use tools, methods and equipment that he
satisfactorily demonstrates will accomplish the work in conformity with Contract requirements.
If the Contractor desires to use a method or type of tool or equipment other than specified in the
Contract, he shall request approval to do so; the request shall be in writing and shall include a full
description of proposed methods, tools and equipm ent and reason for the change or substitution.
Approval of substitution s and changed method s will be on condition that the Contractor will be
fully responsible for producing work meeting Co ntract requirements. If after trial use of the

When materials, products or work cannot be correc ted, written notice of rejection will be issued.
Rejected materials, products and work shall be eliminated from the project and acceptably

Contract requirements.

furnished for the project deviating from requirem ents and specifications without written authority,
will be considered unauthorized and at Contractor’s expense. The Government is not obligated to

made at reasonable times and at the site of the work, unless the Contracting Officer determines that such
inspection or test of material which is to be inco rporated in the work shall be made at the place of
production, manufacture or shipment of such material. To the extent specified by the Contracting Officer
at the time of determining to make off-site inspection or test, such inspection or test shall be conclusive as
to whether the material involved conforms to Contract requirements. Such off-site inspection or test shall
not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material prior to acceptance, nor in
any way affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under the
terms of the last paragraph of this Article, except as herein above provided.
The Contractor shall, without c harge, replace any material and correct any workmanship found by the
Government not to conform to Contract requirements and specifications, unless in the public interest the

The Contractor shall furnish promptly, without addi tional cost to the Government, all facilities,
labor and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspection and
test as may be required by the Contracting Office r. All inspections and tests by the Government

performance tests shall be performed as descri bed in the Contract. The Contractor shall be
charged with any additional cost of inspection when material and workmanship are not ready for
inspection at the time specified by the Contractor.
Should it be considered necessary or advisable by the Contracting Officer at any time before
acceptance of the work, either in part or in its entirety, to make an examination of work
completed, by removing or tearing out same, the Contractor shall, on request, promptly furnish all
necessary facilities, labor and material to do same. If such work is found to be defective or
nonconforming in any material respect, due to the fault of the Contractor or his subcontractors, he
shall defray all the expenses of such examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. If, however,
such work is found to meet the requirements of the Contract, an equitable adjustment shall be
made in the Contract price to compensate the Contractor for the additional services involved in
such examination and reconstruction and, if completion of the work has been delayed thereby, he
shall, in addition, be granted an equitable extension of time.
Unless otherwise provided in the Contract, acceptance by t he Government will be made as
promptly as practicable after completion and insp ection of all work required by the Contract.

If bids or proposals are not solicited within 180 days following the District’s acceptance of the services to be provided under the Scope of Services or task order, the Architect-Engineer shall, prepare an estimate of constructing the design submitted and such estimate will be used in lieu of bids or proposals to determine compliance with the funding limitation. 2. If the bids or proposals for the construction contract received exceed such estimated price, the Architect-Engineer shall perform such redesign and other services as are necessary to permit contract award within such funding limitation. Such redesign services shall be performed at no increase in the price of the Contract. However, the Architect-Engineer shall not be required to perform such additional services at no cost to the District if the unfavorable bids or proposals are the results of unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault and negligence of the Architect-Engineer. C. Designing to Budget. The Architect-Engineer shall promptly advise the Contracting Officer if the Architect-Engineer finds that the Project design will exceed or is likely to exceed the funding limitations and the Architect-Engineer is unable to design a usable facility within these limitations. Upon receipt of such information, the Contracting Officer will review the Architect- Engineer’s revised estimate of construction cost. The Contracting Officer may, if he determines that the estimated construction contract price set forth in the Scope of Services or task order is so low that award of a construction contract not in excess of such estimate is improbable, authorize a change in the scope, quality or type of materials, or both, as required to reduce the estimated construction cost to an amount within the estimated construction contract price set forth elsewhere in the Contract or he may adjust such estimated construction contract price.

D. Project Management and Inspection Entity. In the event the Contract requires the Architect- Engineer to provide construction period services, the Architect-Engineer shall also, at intervals of no less than once per week or as set forth in the Scope of Services, be responsible for: 1. Visits to Site and Observation of Construction. An Architect-Engineer representative who is knowledgeable of the Project and competent in each discipline that has trade activities and stages of construction being performed shall visit the site at the agreed-to intervals to observe as an experienced and qualified design professional the progress and quality of the various aspects of the contractor’s work. Based on information obtained during such visits and on such observations, the Architect-Engineer shall endeavor to determine whether such work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents and shall keep the District informed of the general progress of the work in relation to the overall schedule. The Architect-Engineer shall document the site visit in writing and shall submit his findings in accordance with the report requirements set forth in Article 3 herein. 2. Inspections of Work in Progress by the Architect-Engineer. During his periodic visits to the site to observe the work in progress, the Architect-Engineer shall, as a minimum, spot check the work installed and in progress to determine compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and the codes and installation/workmanship standards listed therein. Defective and noncompliant work observed during such visits shall be noted in the Architect-Engineer’s reports and pointed out to the Contracting Officer and Program Manager. The Architect-Engineer shall identify for the Project Manager any specific checks or inspections to be made. The results of these inspections shall be made a part of the Project’s daily log and reports. The Architect-Engineer shall document the inspection in writing. 3. Supplemental Inspections and Tests. For work not in compliance with the Contract Documents, the Architect-Engineer shall, with the District’s approval, require additional or supplemental inspection or testing. The Architect-Engineer shall receive and review all certificates of inspections, tests and approvals required by laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders or the Contract Documents and shall determine whether, in its opinion as an Architect-Engineer, their content complies with the requirements of each. The Architect-Engineer shall also determine whether the results certified indicate compliance with the Contract Documents. The Architect-Engineer shall document the inspection in writing. 4. Defective Work. During its site visits and based on its observation during such visits, the Architect-Engineer may disapprove the contractor’s work, or any portion thereof, while the work is in progress if Architect-Engineer believes that such work does not conform to the Contract Documents or the approved shop drawings or other submittals. The Architect-Engineer may also recommend that the District reject any work that the Architect-Engineer believes will not result in a completed Project that conforms generally to the Contract Documents or that it believes will prejudice the integrity of the design as reflected in the Contract Documents. The Architect-Engineer shall document the defective work in writing. E. Code and Regulatory Compliance. The Architect-Engineer is responsible for designing the project and administering the construction phase of the Project in accordance with applicable District of Columbia Codes and other regulatory requirements applicable to the Project. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as relieving the Architect-Engineer, any other professional design consultant, or any contractor, supplier or other participant from any professional or legal responsibility for performance. Reviews, comments and approvals by the Department of General Services and its divisions, or any employee or official of the District, in no way absolve any other person, firm or corporation involved in
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
6
the Project from their full responsibilities under the applicable laws, codes and professional practice as required in projects for the District of Columbia. Lack of comment by a District of Columbia reviewer does not relieve the Architect-Engineer from designing to meet the applicable code or Architect-Engineer Manual requirements or applicable regulations related to water, sewer, fire department service, and other utilities. 1. Additional Costs. If the correction of a code or regulatory violation results in a Change Order during construction, any additional costs incurred shall be borne by the party responsible for the violation. The District shall bear only the costs attributable to the actual code or regulation-required enhancement of the Project. 2. Code Interpretation. If the Architect-Engineer believes that a code or a regulation is unclear as to meaning, the Architect-Engineer shall request a written opinion as to the applicable interpretation from the applicable regulatory agency, as appropriate. The Architect-Engineer shall be entitled to rely on the written opinion, if any, received from such agency. F. As-Built Drawings. At completion of the Project, the Architect-Engineer shall prepare a full set of record drawings showing the "as-built" condition of the Project and including the locations of all utilities based on his own records and upon information supplied by the Construction Manager, Contractor or Design-Builder, as applicable, on which the Architect-Engineer may rely. These drawings will consist of the original working drawings and the original of supplemental drawings and details modified to show the "as built" conditions both in paper, tracings, and electronic media. "As-built" drawings shall be turned over to the District as a condition precedent to Substantial Completion; final payment of the Architect-Engineer's fees shall not be due until the building is accepted by the District, the final Application for Payment is made, in acceptable form, to and accepted by the District, and record drawings and "as-built" drawings in the form of paper, tracings, and electronic media in the form of Compact Discs in latest version of AutoCAD. The District reserves the right to occupy the building, or portions thereof, prior to final acceptance. G. No Waiver. Neither the District’s review, approval or acceptance of, nor payment for, any of the services required under the Contract shall be construed to operate as a waiver or any rights under the Contract or of any cause of action arising out of the performance of the Contract, and the Architect-Engineer shall be and remain liable to the District in accordance with applicable law for all damages to the District caused by the Architect-Engineer’s negligent or intentionally wrongful act, omission or default while performing any of the services under the Contract. H. Remedies Inclusive. The rights and remedies of the District and the Architect-Engineer provided for under the Contract are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law. ARTICLE 5. PAYMENTS A. Invoices. The Architect-Engineer shall submit an invoice to the District, along with District- required documentation. The invoice shall generally itemize the various phases or parts of the Total Contract Amount, the value of the various phases or parts, the previously invoiced and approved amounts for payment, and the amount of the current invoice. The invoice shall also include a certification statement signed by the Architect-Engineer stating that the Architect- Engineer has paid its consultants, subcontractors and suppliers their individual proportional share of all previous payments, including interest if applicable, received from the District in accordance with the terms of the Architect-Engineer’s subcontract with such persons or companies and these Standard Contract Provisions. Invoices for reimbursables shall include documentation of costs for which reimbursement is sought. Invoices for Architect-Engineer Services being performed on an

hourly rate basis shall show the technical classifications, names of the persons performing the Architect-Engineer services, man hours expended, marked up hourly rates for the classification, and the extended cost amount. B. Invoice Disputes. Unless there is a dispute about the compensation due the Architect-Engineer, including, but not limited to, claims by the District against the Architect-Engineer, then within thirty (30) days after receipt by the District of the Architect-Engineer's acceptable invoice, which shall be considered the invoice receipt date, the District shall pay to the Architect-Engineer the amount approved less any retainage and less any prior payments or advances made to Architect-Engineer. The date on which payment is due shall be referred to as the “payment date.” C. Frequency. Invoices prepared the Architect-Engineer relating to the amount and value of work and services performed by the Architect-Engineer under the Contract shall be made periodically (not more often than monthly) and sent to the District for payment, accompanied by such documentation and supporting data as may be required by the Contracting Officer. D. Retainage. Upon approval of such invoice amounts by the Contracting Officer and presentation of proper documentation by the Architect-Engineer, payment of the invoice amount as determined above less agreed upon retainage and all previous payments shall be made in accordance with the Quick Payment Act, D.C. Official Code §2-221.01 et seq. Unless otherwise provided for in the Contract, the retained payment percentage shall be 5%, provided, however, that if the Contracting Officer determines that the work is Substantially Complete and that the amount of retained percentages is in excess of the amount considered by him to be adequate for the protection of the District, he may in his discretion release to the Architect-Engineer such excess amount. E. Final Payment. Upon the satisfactory completion of the Architect-Engineer’s services and formal notification of its final acceptance by the Contracting Officer, the Architect-Engineer shall be paid the unpaid balance of any money due hereunder, including retained percentages. Prior to such final payment under the Contract or prior to settlement upon termination of the Contract and as a condition precedent thereto, the Architect-Engineer shall execute and deliver to the Contracting Officer a release of all claims against the District arising under or by virtue of the Contract other than such claims, if any, as may be specifically excepted by the Architect-Engineer from the operation of the release in stated amounts to be set forth therein. F. Document Ownership. All drawings, designs, specifications and other Architect-Engineer deliverables first produced solely for the District in the performance of the Contract, or in contemplation thereof, and all as-built drawings produced after completion of the work shall be and remain the sole property of the District and may be used on any other work without additional cost to the District. With respect thereto, the Architect-Engineer agrees not to assert any rights or to establish any claim under the design patent or copyright laws and not to publish or reproduce such matter in whole or in part or in any manner or form or authorize others so to do without the written consent of the District, until such time as the District may have released such matter to the public. Further, with respect to any architectural design which the District desires to protect by applying for and prosecuting a design patent application or otherwise, the Architect-Engineer agrees to furnish the Contracting Officer such duly executed instruments and other papers (prepared by the District) as are deemed necessary to vest in the District the rights granted it under this clause. The Architect-Engineer agrees to furnish and provide access to the originals or copies of all such materials on the request of the Contracting Officer for a period of three (3) years after completion for the project.

G. Corrections of Work Post-Payment. Notwithstanding the acceptance and approval by the District of any services performed or provided by the Architect-Engineer, the Architect-Engineer shall be responsible for the professional quality, technical accuracy and the coordination of all services furnished by the Architect-Engineer under the Contract. The Architect-Engineer shall, without additional compensation, correct or revise any errors or deficiencies or omissions in the Architect-Engineer’s services. H. Payment Not Waiver. The District’s review, approval or acceptance of, or payment for, any of the Materials and Services required under the Contract shall not constitute any representation, warranty or guaranty by the District as to the substance or quality of the matter reviewed, approved or accepted and shall not be construed to operate as a waiver or estoppel of any of the District's rights or privileges under the Contract or of any cause of action arising out of the performance of the Contract. No person or firm shall rely in any way on such review, approval or acceptance by the District. The Architect-Engineer shall be and remain liable in accordance with Applicable Law for all damages to the District caused by the Architect-Engineer. Review, approval or acceptance by the District or the Contracting Officer under the Contract shall not constitute approval otherwise required by any of the District departments, boards, commissions, or other regulatory agencies in the exercise of their independent regulatory authority. I. Errors and Omissions. Without limiting the Architect-Engineer’s responsibility set forth above, such responsibility, by way of illustration shall include the following: If any error or omission in the Construction Documents submitted by the Architect-Engineer requires a change in the Scope of Services or any portion thereof, the Architect-Engineer shall promptly complete such change at no additional cost to the District. J. Compensation Disputes. Disputes regarding the compensation due the Architect-Engineer may include, but are not limited to, the amount due, the value or percentage of the Architect- Engineer Services completed, defects or deficiencies in the Architect-Engineer Services, quality of the Architect-Engineer Services, compliance with the Contract Documents, completion itself, or negligent performance of professional services on the part of the Architect-Engineer. In the event of disputes, payment shall be mailed on or before the Payment Date for amounts and Architect-Engineer Services not in dispute, subject to any setoffs claimed by the District. K. Adjustments. All prior payments, whether based on estimates or otherwise, may be corrected and adjusted in any payment and shall be corrected and adjusted in the final payment. In the event that any invoice by the Architect-Engineer contains a defect or impropriety which would prevent payment by the Payment Date, the District shall notify the Architect-Engineer in writing of such defect or impropriety within ten (10) days after the invoice receipt date. Any disputed amounts determined by the District to be payable to the Architect-Engineer shall be due thirty (30) days from the date the dispute is resolved. Interest shall be paid by the District in accordance with the Quick Payment Act, D.C. Official Code §2-221.01 et seq. L. Payments to Subcontractors. The Architect-Engineer shall make a payment to each of its Consultants and Subcontractors, not later than seven (7) calendar days after receipt of amounts paid to the Architect-Engineer by the District, in an amount equal to the proportionate share of the total payment, including any interest, received from the District attributable to the Architect-Engineer Services performed by Consultants and Subcontractors less a retainage of not more than five percent (5%) if provided for in the applicable subcontract, said retainage being the same money, not additional money, retained by the District from the payment to the Architect-Engineer.

ARTICLE 6. CHANGES A. Generally. The Contracting Officer may at any time by written order make changes within the general scope of the Contract to the Scope of Services to be performed under each task order. If such changes cause an increase or decrease in the Architect-Engineer’s cost of or time required for performance of any service under the Contract, or both, upon approval of the Contracting Officer, an equitable adjustment shall be made and the Contract shall be modified in writing by the Contracting Officer accordingly. Any claim of the Architect-Engineer for adjustment under this clause must be made in writing to the Contracting Officer within ten (10) days from the date of receipt by the Architect-Engineer of the notification of change unless the Contracting Officer grants a further period of time before the date of final payment under this Contract. If the Architect-Engineer requests changes to the Scope of Services, the Architect-Engineer must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the District that the changes are necessary and not due to the acts or omissions of the Architect-Engineer. Generally, the time of performance of the Contract and/or any task order may be extended for the administrative convenience of the District or for other purposes whenever the Contracting Officer determines such action will not be a cause for additional fee or other related cost. B. Additional Compensation. Compensation to the Architect-Engineer beyond the monetary limits set forth in the Contract shall only be made if and when a Change Order to the Contract is duly executed by the Parties. Nothing herein shall limit the District’s ability to make changes to the Contract unilaterally. C. Designated Change Orders. The Contracting Officer may, at any time, by written order designated or indicated to be a change order, make any changes in the work within the general scope of the Contract, including but not limited to changes: 1. In the Contract drawings and specifications; 2. In the method or manner of performance of the services; 3. In the District furnished facilities, equipment, materials or services; or 4. Directing acceleration in the performance of the services. Nothing provided in this Article shall excuse the Architect-Engineer from proceeding with the prosecution of the services so changed. D. Other Change Orders. Any other written order or an oral order (which term as used in this Section shall include direction, instruction, interpretation, or determination) from the Contracting Officer which causes any such change, shall be treated as a Change Order under this Article, provided that the Architect-Engineer gives the Contracting Officer written notice stating the date, circumstances and sources of the order and that the Architect-Engineer regards the order as a Change Order. E. General Requirements. Except as herein provided, no order, statement or conduct of the Contracting Officer shall be treated as a change under this Article or entitle the Architect- Engineer to an equitable adjustment hereunder. If any change under this Article causes an increase or decrease in the Architect-Engineer’s cost of, or the time required for, the performance of any part of the services under the Contract whether or not changed by any order, an equitable adjustment shall be made and the Contract modified in writing accordingly; provided, however, that except for claims based on defective specifications, no claim for any change under (B) above shall
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
10
be allowed for any cost incurred more than thirty (30) days before the Architect-Engineer gives written notice as therein required unless this thirty (30) day period is extended by the Contracting Officer and provided further, that in case of defective drawings and specifications, the equitable adjustment shall include any increased cost reasonably incurred by the Architect- Engineer in attempting to comply with such defective drawings and specifications. 1. If the Architect-Engineer intends to assert a claim for an equitable adjustment under this Article, the Architect-Engineer must, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written Change Order under (A) above or the furnishing of a written notice under (D) above, submit to the Contracting Officer a written statement setting forth the general nature and monetary extent of such claim, unless this period is extended by the Contracting Officer. The statement of claim hereunder may be included in the notice under (D) above. 2. With respect to the notification obligations of the Architect-Engineer hereunder, time is of the essence. A failure to provide timely notice constitutes waiver of the claim. No claim by the Architect-Engineer for an equitable adjustment hereunder shall be allowed if asserted after final payment under the Contract. F. Change Order Breakdown. Contract prices shall be used for Change Order work where the services, as changed, are of similar nature; no other costs, overhead or profit will be allowed. 1. Where Contract prices are not appropriate and the nature of the change is known in advance of construction, the parties shall attempt to agree on a fully justifiable adjustment of the Architect-Engineer’s compensation and time for performance. 2. When Contract prices are not appropriate, or the parties fail to agree on equitable adjustment, or in processing claims, equitable adjustment for Change Order work shall be per this Article and Article 7 and shall be based upon the breakdown shown in following subsections a) through g). The Architect-Engineer shall assemble a complete cost breakdown that lists and substantiates each item of work and each item of cost. a) Labor—Payment will be made for direct labor cost plus indirect labor cost such as insurance, taxes, fringe benefits and welfare provided such costs are considered reasonable by the District. Indirect costs shall be itemized and verified by receipted invoices. If verification is not possible, up to 18 percent of direct labor costs may be allowed. In addition, up to 20 percent of direct plus indirect labor costs may be allowed for overhead and profit. b) Rented Equipment—Payment for required equipment rented from a third party company that is neither an affiliate of, nor a subsidiary of, the Architect-Engineer will be based on receipted invoices, which shall not exceed rates given in the current edition of the Rental Rate Blue Book for Construction Equipment published by Data Quest. If actual rental rates exceed manual rates, written justification shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer for consideration. No additional allowance will be made for overhead and profit. The Architect-Engineer shall submit written certification to the Contracting Officer that any required rented equipment is neither owned by nor rented from the Architect-Engineer or an affiliate of or subsidiary of the Architect- Engineer. c) Architect-Engineer’s Equipment—Payment for required equipment owned by the Architect-Engineer or an affiliate of the Architect-Engineer will be based solely on an hourly rate
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
11
derived by dividing the current appropriate monthly rate by 176 hours. No payment will be made under any circumstances for repair costs, freight and transportation charges, fuel, lubricants, insurance, any other costs and expenses, or overhead and profit. Payment for such equipment made idle by delays attributable to the District will be based on one-half the derived hourly rate under this subsection. d) Miscellaneous—No additional allowance will be made for general superintendence, use of small tools and other costs for which no specific allowance is herein provided. e) Subcontract Work—Payment for additional necessary subcontract work will be based on applicable procedures in a) through f), to which total additional subcontract work, up to an additional 10 percent, may be allowed for the Architect-Engineer’s overhead and profit. G. Significant Changes in Character of Services. 1. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to make, in writing, at any time during the performance of services, such changes in quantities and such alterations in the services as are necessary to satisfactorily complete the Project. Such changes in quantities and alterations shall not invalidate the Contract, and the Architect-Engineer agrees to perform the services as altered. 2. If the alterations or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the services under the Contract, whether or not changed by any such different quantities or alterations, an adjustment, excluding loss of anticipated profits, will be made to the Contract. The basis for the adjustment shall be agreed upon prior to the performance of the services. If a basis cannot be agreed upon, then an adjustment will be made either for or against the Architect-Engineer in such amount as the Contracting Officer may determine to be fair and reasonable. 3. If the alterations or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the services to be performed under the Contract, the altered services will be paid for as provided elsewhere in the Contract. 4. The term “significant change” shall be construed to apply only to the following circumstances: a. When the character of the services as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that involved or included in the original proposed construction; or b. When an item of work is increased in excess of 125 percent or decreased below 75 percent of the original Contract quantity. Any allowance for an increase in quantity shall apply only to that portion in excess of 125 percent of original Contract item quantity, or in the case of a decrease below 75 percent, to the actual amount of services performed. 5. If the parties fall to agree upon the adjustment to be made, the dispute shall be processed as provided in Article 10 hereof entitled “Disputes”. Nothing provided in this section shall excuse the Architect-Engineer from proceeding with the prosecution of services so changed. ARTICLE 7. EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT OF CONTRACT TERMS The Architect-Engineer is entitled to an equitable adjustment of the contract terms whenever the following situations develop: A. Differing Site Conditions. 1. During the progress of the work, if subsurface or latent physical conditions are encountered at the site differing materially from those indicated in the Contract or if unknown physical
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
12
conditions of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work provided for in the Contract, are encountered at the site, the Architect-Engineer, upon discovering such conditions, shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing of the specific differing conditions before they are disturbed and before the affected work is performed. 2. Upon written notification, the Contracting Officer will investigate the conditions, and if he/she determines that the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for the performance of any work under the contract, or both, an adjustment, excluding loss of anticipated profits, will be made and the Contract modified in writing accordingly. The Contracting Officer will notify the Architect-Engineer of his/her determination whether or not an adjustment of the Contract is warranted. 3. No contract adjustment which results in a benefit to the Architect-Engineer will be allowed unless the Architect-Engineer has provided the required written notice; a failure to notify the Contracting Officer of the changed conditions prior to work being disturbed by said conditions shall constitute a permanent waiver of all right to compensation related to the changed conditions by the Architect-Engineer. 4. No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause for any effects caused on unchanged work. B. Suspension of Work Ordered by Contracting Officer. 1. If the performance of all or any portion of the work is suspended or delayed by the Contracting Officer in writing for an unreasonable period of time (not originally anticipated, customary, or inherent to the nature of the services) and the Architect-Engineer believes that additional compensation or contract time, or both, is due as a result of such suspension or delay, the Architect-Engineer shall submit to the Contracting Officer in writing a request for equitable adjustment within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice to resume work. The request shall set forth the reasons and support for such adjustment. 2. Upon receipt, the Contracting Officer will evaluate the Architect-Engineer’s request. If the Contracting Officer agrees that the cost or time required for the performance of the Contract, or both, has increased as a result of such suspension and the suspension was caused by conditions beyond the control or and not the fault of the Architect-Engineer or its consultants or subcontractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather, the Contracting Officer will make an adjustment (excluding profit) and modify the contract in writing accordingly. The Contracting Officer will notify the Architect-Engineer of his/her determination whether or not an adjustment of the Contract is warranted. 3. No contract adjustment will be allowed unless the Architect-Engineer has submitted the request for adjustment within the time prescribed; a failure to submit a request for adjustment in the time prescribed shall constitute waiver of all right to compensation related to the suspension of work by the Architect-Engineer. ARTICLE 8. TERMINATION A. Termination for Default. Termination, whether for default or convenience is not a Government claim. The Contracting Officer may terminate the Contract, or any task order issued thereunder by the Contracting Officer, for default, in whole or in part, if the termination is in the best interests of the Government, and the Architect-Engineer does any of the following: 1. Fails to complete the Services within the time specified in the Contract or any modification (including task orders); 2. Fails to make sufficient progress on contract performance so as to endanger performance
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
13
of the Contract (including any task order) within the time specified or in the manner specified in the Contract; 3. Fails or refuses to go forward with the services in accordance with the direction of the Contracting Officer; 4. Expresses through word or conduct an intention not to complete the services in accordance with the directions of the Contracting Officer; 5. Fails to perform any of the other provisions of the Contract (or any task order); 6. Materially deviates from the representations and capabilities set forth in the Architect- Engineer’s response to the solicitation. B. Final Decision of Contracting Officer. A termination for default is a final decision of the Contracting Officer. In order to contest a termination for default, the Architect-Engineer must submit a certified request to convert the termination for default to a termination for convenience with all documents supporting such conversion and comply with all Contract provisions and laws relating to terminations for convenience, including the submission of a certified termination for convenience settlement proposal. The submission of the certified request for conversion to a termination for convenience and certified termination settlement proposal to the Contracting Officer must occur prior to ninety (90) days from the date of the Contracting Officer’s final decision. C. Delays. If the Architect-Engineer refuses or fails to prosecute the services, or any separable part thereof, with such diligence as will provide for its completion within the time specified in the Contract, or any extension thereof, or fails to complete said services within the specified time, the District may, by written notice to the Architect-Engineer, terminate its right to proceed with the services or such part of the services involving the delay. In such event, the District may take over the services and prosecute the same to completion, by contract or otherwise, and may take possession of and utilize in completing the services such materials as may have been paid for by the District. Whether or not the Architect- Engineer’s right to proceed with the services are terminated, the Architect-Engineer shall be liable for any liability to the District resulting from the Architect-Engineer’s refusal or failure to complete the services within the specified time. 1. If fixed and agreed liquidated damages are provided in the Contract and if the District does not so terminate the Architect-Engineer’s right to proceed, the resulting damage will consist of such liquidated damages until the services are completed and accepted. 2. The Architect-Engineer’s right to proceed shall not be so terminated nor the Architect- Engineer charged with resulting damage if: a) The delay in the completion the services arises from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Architect-Engineer, including but not restricted to acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of the District in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, acts of another contractor in the performance of a contract with the District, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, climatic conditions beyond the normal which could be anticipated, or delays of subcontractors or suppliers arising from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of both the Architect-Engineer and such consultants or subcontractors at any tier; and b) The Architect-Engineer, within 72 hours from the beginning of any such delay, (unless the
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
14
Contracting Officer grants a further period of time before the date of final payment under the Contract) notifies the Contracting Officer in writing of the causes of delay. 3. The Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and the extent of the delay and extend the time for completing the services when, in his/her judgment, the findings of fact justify such an extension, and his/her findings of fact shall be final and conclusive on the parties, subject only to appeal as provided in Article 7 herein. 4. If, after notice of termination of the Architect-Engineer’s right to proceed under the provisions of this Article, it is determined for any reason that the Architect-Engineer was not in default under the provisions of this Article, or that the delay was excusable under the provisions of this Article, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be in accordance with Article 6 herein. Failure to agree to any such adjustment shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of Article 7 herein. 5. The rights and remedies of the District provided in this Article are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under the Contract. 6. The District may, by written notice, terminate the Contract or a portion thereof as a result of an Executive Order of the President of the United States with respect to the prosecution of war or in the interest of national defense. When the Contract is so terminated, no claim for loss of anticipated profits will be permitted. D. Opportunity to Cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing sections A and C, the Contract will not terminate as a result of the failure to perform if the Architect-Engineer begins, immediately upon receipt of such notice, to correct its failure to perform and proceeds diligently to cure such failure with no more than ten (10) days of receipt thereof. The Contracting Officer in its sole discretion, but is not obligated to, may extend the period to cure if the Department finds a legitimate reason for the extension. E. Termination for Convenience of the District Government 1. The performance of services under the Contract, or any task order issued thereunder by the Contracting Officer, may be terminated by the District in accordance with this Article, in whole or in part, whenever the Contracting Officer shall determine that such termination is in the best interest of the District. Any such termination shall be effected by delivery to the Architect-Engineer of a Notice of Termination specifying the extent to which performance of services under the Contract (or task order) is terminated, and the date upon which such termination becomes effective. 2. After receipt of a Notice of Termination, and except as otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer, the Architect-Engineer shall: a) Stop work under the Contract (or task order) on the date and to the extent specified in the Notice of Termination. b) Place no further orders or subcontracts for materials, services, or facilities except as may be necessary for completion of such portion of the services under the Contract (or task order) as is not terminated. c) Terminate all orders and subcontracts to the extent that they relate to the performance of the services terminated by the Notice of Termination.
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
15
d) Assign to the District, in the manner, at the times, and to the extent directed by the Contracting Officer, all of the right, title and interest of the Architect-Engineer under the orders and subcontracts so terminated, in which case the District shall have the right, in its discretion, to settle or pay any or all claims arising out of the termination of such orders and subcontracts. e) Settle all outstanding liabilities and all claims arising out of such termination of orders or subcontracts, with the approval or ratification of the Contracting Officer to the extent he/she may require, which approval or ratification shall be final for all purposes of this Article. f) Transfer title to the District and deliver in the manner, at the times, and to the extent, if any, directed by the Contracting Officer completed, or partially completed plans, drawings, information and other property which, if the Contract (or task order) had been completed, would have been required to be furnished to the District. g) Complete performance of such part of the services as shall not have been terminated by the Notice of Termination. h) Take such action as may be necessary, or as the Contracting Officer may direct, for the protection and preservation of the property related to the Contract that is in the possession of the Architect-Engineer and in which the District has or may acquire an interest. i) The Architect-Engineer shall proceed immediately with the performance of the above obligations notwithstanding any delay in determining or adjusting the cost, or any item of reimbursable cost, under this Article. 3. After receipt of a Notice of Termination, the Architect-Engineer shall submit to the Contracting Officer its termination claim, in the form with the certification prescribed by the Contracting Officer. Such claim shall be submitted promptly but in no event later than ninety (90) days from the effective date of termination, unless one or more extensions in writing are granted by the Contracting Officer upon request of the Architect-Engineer made in writing within such ninety (90)-day period or authorized extension thereof. In the event the Architect- Engineer was terminated for default and it asserts that it is entitled to a termination for convenience, its certified request for the conversion of the default termination to one for convenience and its certified termination settlement proposal must be submitted to the Contracting Officer prior to the expiration of ninety (90) days from the date of the default termination. With respect to a termination for convenience, if the Contracting Officer determines that the facts justify such action, he/she may receive and act upon any such termination claim at any time after such ninety (90)-day period or extension thereof. Nothing herein shall be construed to extend the time for the submission of a claim hereunder for a defaulted Architect-Engineer beyond ninety (90) days from the date of the default termination. Upon failure of the Architect- Engineer to submit his termination claim within the time allowed, the Contracting Officer may, subject to any review required by the District’s procedures in effect as of the date of execution of the Contract, determine, on the basis of information available to him/her, the amount, if any, due to the Architect-Engineer by reason of the termination and shall thereupon pay to the Architect-Engineer the amount so determined. 4. Subject to the provisions of Section 3 above, and subject to any review required by the District’s procedures in effect as of the date of execution of the Contract, the Architect- Engineer and Contracting Officer may agree upon the whole or any part of the amount or amounts to be paid to the Architect-Engineer by reason of the total or partial termination of services pursuant to this Article, which amount or amounts may include a reasonable allowance for profit on services completed; provided, that such agreed amount or amounts, exclusive of settlement costs, shall not exceed the total Contract price as reduced by the amount of
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
16
payments otherwise made and as further reduced by the Contract price of any services not terminated. The Contract shall be amended accordingly, and the Architect-Engineer shall be paid the agreed amount. Nothing in Section 5 below prescribing the amount to be paid to the Architect-Engineer in the event of failure of the Architect-Engineer and the Contracting Officer to agree upon the whole amount to be paid to the Architect-Engineer by reason of the termination of services pursuant to this Article, shall be deemed to limit, restrict or otherwise determine or effect the amount or amounts which may be agreed upon to be paid to the Architect-Engineer pursuant to this paragraph. 5. In the event of the failure of the Architect-Engineer and the Contracting Officer to agree as provided in Section 4 above upon the whole amount to be paid to the Architect-Engineer by reason of the termination of services pursuant to this Article, the Contracting Officer shall, subject to any review required by the District’s procedures in effect as of the date of execution of the Contract, determine, on the basis of information available to him/her, the amount, if any, due the Architect-Engineer by reason of the termination and shall pay to the Architect-Engineer the amounts determined by the Contracting Officer, as follows, but without duplication of any amounts agreed upon in accordance with Section 4 above: a) With respect to all Contract work performed prior to the effective date of the Notice of Termination, the total (without duplication of any items) of: i) The cost of such services; ii) The cost of settling and paying claims arising out of the termination of services under subcontracts or orders as provided in Section 2(e) above, exclusive of the amounts paid or payable on account of supplies or materials delivered or services furnished by the subcontractor prior to the effective date of the Notice of Termination of work under the Contract, which amounts shall be included in the cost on account of which payment is made under on Section 5(a)(i) above; and iii) A sum, as profit on Section 5(a)(i) above, determined by the Contracting Officer to be fair and reasonable; provided however, that if it appears that the Architect- Engineer would have sustained a loss on the entire Contract had it been completed, no profit shall be included or allowed under this subparagraph and an appropriate adjustment shall be made reducing the amount of the settlement to reflect the indicated rate of loss; and provided further that profit shall be allowed only on preparations made and services performed by the Architect-Engineer for the terminated portion of the Contract (or task order) but may not be allowed on the Architect-Engineer’s settlement expenses. Anticipatory profits and consequential damages shall not be allowed. Any reasonable method may be used to arrive at a fair profit, separately or as part of the whole settlement. b) The reasonable cost of the preservation and protection of property incurred pursuant to Section 2(i); and any other reasonable cost incidental to termination of services under the Contract including expense incidental to the determination of amount due to the Architect-Engineer as the result of the termination of work under the Contract. 6. The total sum to be paid to the Architect-Engineer under Section 5(a) above shall not exceed the total Contract price as reduced by the amount of payments otherwise made and as further reduced by the Contract price of services not terminated. Except for normal spoilage, and except to the extent that the District shall have otherwise expressly assumed the risk of loss, there shall be excluded from the amounts payable to the Architect-Engineer under Section 5(a) above, the fair value, as determined by the Contracting Officer, of property which is destroyed, lost, stolen or damaged so as to become undeliverable to the District 7. The Architect-Engineer shall have the right of appeal, under Article 9 herein, from any determination made by the Contracting Officer under Sections 3 or 5, above, except that, if
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
17

A. Generally. All disputes arising under or relating to the Contract shall be resolved as provided herein. B. Claims by the Architect-Engineer against the District. 1. Claim, as used in this Section B of Article 9, means a written assertion by the Architect- Engineer seeking, as a matter of right, the payment of money in a sum certain, the adjustment or interpretation of contract terms, or other relief arising under or relating to the Contract. A claim arising under a contract, unlike a claim relating to that contract, is a claim that can be resolved under a contract clause that provides for the relief sought by the claimant. a) All claims by the Architect-Engineer against the District arising under or relating to the Contract shall be in writing and shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for a decision. b) Within 120 days after receipt of a claim, the Contracting Officer shall issue a decision, whenever possible taking into account factors such as the size and complexity of the claim and the adequacy of the information in support of the claim provided by the Architect-Engineer. c) Any failure by the Contracting Officer to issue a decision on a Contract claim within the required time period shall be deemed to be a denial of the claim and shall authorize the commencement of an appeal on the claim as otherwise provided. i) If the Architect-Engineer is unable to support any part of its claim and it is determined that the inability is attributable to a material misrepresentation of fact or fraud on the part of the Architect-Engineer, the Architect-Engineer shall be liable to the District for an amount equal to the unsupported part of the claim in addition to all costs to the District attributable to the cost of reviewing that part of the Architect-Engineer’s claim. ii) Liability under this section shall be determined within six (6) years of the commission of the misrepresentation of fact or fraud. d) All cost data, pricing data, and task data of claims hereunder must be certified as accurate, complete, required, and necessary to the best of the Architect-Engineer’s knowledge and belief. Further, all task or work data in the claim must be described therein to the smallest unit of work or task. The Contracting Officer may require any additional certifications, descriptions or explanations of the claim. e) The parties agree that time is of the essence and all claims hereunder must be presented to the Contracting Officer for a final decision within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to such claim or within thirty (30) days of when the Architect-Engineer knew or should have known of the circumstances giving rise to such claim, otherwise compensation for that claim is waived. f) The parties agree that there shall be no claims for unabsorbed home office overhead. 2. The Architect-Engineer’s claim shall contain at least the following: a) A description of the claim and the amount in dispute;
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
19
b) Any data or other information in support of the claim; c) A brief description of the Architect-Engineer’s efforts to resolve the dispute prior to filing the claim; and d) The Architect-Engineer’s request for relief or other action by the Contracting Officer. e) The certification of the accuracy, completeness, requirement, and necessity of all aspects of the claim. 3. The decision of the Contracting Officer shall be final and not subject to review unless an administrative appeal or action for judicial review is timely commenced by the Architect- Engineer. 4. Pending final decision of an appeal, action, or final settlement, the Architect-Engineer shall proceed diligently with performance of the contract in accordance with the decision of the Contracting Officer. C. Claims by the District Against the Architect-Engineer. 1. Claim as used in this Section C of Article 9, means a written demand or written assertion by the District, including the Contracting Officer, seeking, as a matter of right, the payment of money in a sum certain, the adjustment of contract terms, or other relief arising under or relating to the Contract. A claim arising under a contract, unlike a claim relating to that contract, is a claim that can be resolved under a contract clause that provides for the relief sought by the claimant. Nothing herein shall be construed to require the District to notify the Architect-Engineer prior to the issuance of the Contracting Officer’s final decision. 2. a) All claims by the District against the Architect-Engineer arising under or relating to a contract shall be decided by the Contracting Officer, who shall issue a decision in writing and furnish a copy of the decision to the Architect-Engineer. b) The decision shall be supported by reasons and shall inform the Architect-Engineer of its rights. Specific findings of fact shall not be required. 3. This clause shall not authorize the Contracting Officer to settle, compromise, pay, or otherwise adjust any claim involving fraud. 4. The decision of the Contracting Officer shall be final and not subject to review unless an administrative appeal or action for judicial review is timely commenced by the Architect- Engineer. 5. Pending final decision of an appeal, action, or final settlement, the Architect-Engineer shall proceed diligently with performance of the contract in accordance with the decision of the Contracting Officer. 6. The Contracting Officer may enter into a voluntary exclusion agreement with the Architect- Engineer in order to settle any claim or dispute between the parties. ARTICLE 10.

into by and between the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA GOVERNMENT, acting by and through its
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES (the “Department”) and [DESIGN-BUILDER],
(the “Design-Builder”) pursuant to the Agreement, dated _, between the District
of Columbia government, by and through the Department and the Design-Builder, for the
modernization of the UPSHUR RECREATION CENTER MODERNIZATION and to establish
a Guaranteed Maximum Price and Contract Time for the Work as set forth below.
ARTICLE I GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE
Section 1.1 Guaranteed Maximum Price. Subject to additions and deductions which may
be made only in accordance with the Agreement, the Design-Builder represents, warrants and
guarantees to the Department that the total maximum cost to be paid by the Department for Design
Builder’s complete performance under the Agreement, including, but not limited to, Final
Completion of all Work, all services of Design-Builder under the Agreement, and all fees,
compensation and reimbursements to Design-Builder, shall not exceed the total amount of
[INSERT AMOUNT] Dollars ($[INSERT AMOUNT]) ("Guaranteed Maximum Price"). Costs
which would cause the Guaranteed Maximum Price (as may be adjusted pursuant to the Contract
Documents) to be exceeded shall be paid by the Design-Builder without reimbursement by the
Department.
Section 1.2 Guaranteed Maximum Price Components. The Guaranteed Maximum
Price is comprised of the maximum amount payable by the Department for:
1.2.1 the Cost of the Work for full and complete performance of the Work in strict
accordance with the Contract Documents;
1.2.2 a Pre-Construction Fee for the Design-Builder, as defined in the Agreement, in the
amount of [INSERT AMOUNT];
1.2.3 a Design-Build Fee for the Design-Builder, as defined in the Agreement, in the
amount of [INSERT AMOUNT];
1.2.4 a Maximum Cost of General Conditions, , as defined in the Agreement, in the amount
of [INSERT AMOUNT];
1.2.5 a Design Fee in the amount of [INSERT AMOUNT]; and
1.2.6 The Guaranteed Maximum Price is further broken down into line items and categories
on Exhibits attached hereto.
Section 1.3 Basis for the GMP. The GMP is for the performance of the Work in accordance
with the Contract Documents listed and attached to this Amendment and marked Exhibits
through , as follows:
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
1.3.1 Exhibit__: A list of drawings, specifications, addenda, general, supplementary, and
other conditions on which the Guaranteed Maximum Price is based.
1.3.2 Exhibit__: A list of unit prices and allowance items and a statement of their basis.
1.3.3 Exhibit__: Assumptions and clarifications made in preparing the GMP Proposal,
noting in particular any exclusions. The assumptions and clarifications shall take precedence over
the drawings and specifications. The Design -Builder shall prepare a separate memorandum that
highlights any differences between the then approved drawings and the modifications made in the
assumptions and clarifications. Such memorandum shall specifically address any changes in the
Project aesthetics, functionality or performance.
1.3.4 Exhibit__: The proposed GMP, including a statement of the detailed cost estimate
organized by trade categories, allowances, contingency, and other items and the fees that comprise
the GMP.
1.3.5 Exhibit__: An update to the Project’s schedule to which the Design-Builder will
agree to be bound. This update shall be prepared in the same level of detail and in the same manner
as the Baseline Schedule.
1.3.6 Exhibit__: A subcontracting plan setting forth the names and estimated dollar
volume of the work that will be perform by LSBDEs, as certified by the Department of Small and
Local Business Development (DSLBD), upon which the GMP is based.
Section 1.4 Incomplete Drawings and Specifications. Design-Builder and the Department
acknowledge that the Drawings and Specifications are not complete and, as of the date hereof, that
such Drawings and Specifications have reached the level of approximately % complete permit
set documents. The Design-Builder, however, has been actively involved in the design process
and hereby represents that it has a sufficient understanding of the Project to agree to a Guaranteed
Maximum Price to Fully Complete the Project. The Design Builder hereby acknowledges that the
GMP Basis Documents provides sufficient detail and information to provide a firm Guaranteed
Maximum Price and that the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposed therein is intended to represent
the Design-Builder’s offer to Fully Complete the Project. The Design-Builder and the Department
agree to work together to complete the Drawings and Specifications as provided in this Agreement,
consistent with the Guaranteed Maximum Price premises and assumptions and Project Schedule.
Section 1.5 Design Intent; Inferable Work. Design-Builder agrees that the Guaranteed
Maximum Price is based on the current state of the design, which represents approximately [ ]
percent complete permit set documents. The GMP Basis Documents will include various
clarifications and assumptions that are intended to further define the scope of Work that will be
required to complete design. The Design-Builder has included within the Guaranteed Maximum
Price sufficient amounts to cover aspects of the Work that are not shown on the GMP Basis
Documents. If the Department does not approve any such scope increase, the Design-Builder
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
shall cause the Architect to develop a design that is consistent with the original design intent
and shall complete the Work for an amount that does not exceed the GMP.
Section 1.6 Cost Overruns. Subject to additions or deductions which may be made in
accordance with the Agreement, the Design-Builder shall be solely liable and responsible for and
shall pay any and all costs, fees and other expenditures in excess of the Guaranteed Maximum
Price for and/or relating to the Work, without entitlement to reimbursement from the Department.

without limitation, costs of materials, labor, handling, transportation, loading and unloading and
installation, as determined by Design-Builder.
ARTICLE 2
INTENT, INTERPRETATION AND CORRELATION
Section 2.1 Intent of the Agreement . The intent of the Agreement is for the Design-
Builder to perform and supply, and the Department hereby engages Design-Builder to and Design
Builder hereby agrees to perform and supply, the Work, including all necessary design services,
scheduling, procurement, supervision, construction, and construction management services and
supply all necessary labor, materials, equipment and related work and services necessary to fully
complete the Work and obtain the intended results of the Contract Documents, including, but not
limited to the requirements of the Project Schedule and the Guaranteed Maximum Price
requirements set forth in Article 1 above. The enumeration of particular items in the Specifications
and/or Drawings shall not be construed to exclude other items. The Contract Documents are
complementary, and what is required by any one of the Contract Documents (including either a
Drawing or Specification) as being necessary to produce the intended results shall be binding and
required as a part of the Work as if required by all Contract Documents.
Section 2.2 Design -Builder’s Compliance with Contract Documents. Design -Builder
agrees, accepts and assumes that the Department's decision will require implementation of the most
stringent requirements among any conflicting provisions of the Contract Documents as being part of
the Work. The Design-Builder agrees to be bound by all decisions by the Department to implement
the most stringent of any conflicting requirements within the Contract Documents. Any failure by
Design-Builder to seek such clarifications shall in no way limit the Department's ability to require
implementation, including replacement of installed Work at a later date at Design Builder's sole
expense, to achieve compliance with the more stringent requirements. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Design-Builder hereby agrees as follows:
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
2.2.1 The failure of the Department to insist in any one or more instances upon a strict
compliance with any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any option herein conferred, shall
not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the Department's right thereafter to require
compliance with such provision of this Agreement, or as being a waiver of the Department's right
thereafter to exercise such option, and such provision or option will remain in full force and effect.
2.2.2 If there is any inconsistency in the Drawings or any conflict between the Drawings
and Specifications, Design-Builder shall provide the better quality or greater quantity of Work or
materials, as applicable, unless the Department directs otherwise in writing.
2.2.3 Design-Builder shall be responsible for dividing the Work among the appropriate
Subcontractors and Vendors. No claim will be entertained by the Department based upon the
organization or arrangement of the Specifications and/or the Drawings into areas, sections,
subsections or trade disciplines.
2.2.4 Detail drawings shall take precedence over scale drawings, and figured dimensions on
the Drawings shall govern the setting out of the Work.
2.2.5 Unless the Specifications expressly state otherwise, references to documents and
standards of professional organizations shall mean the latest editions published prior to the
Effective Date.
2.2.6 Technical words, abbreviations and acronyms in the Contract Documents shall be used
and interpreted in accordance with customary usage in the construction industry.
2.2.7 Whenever consent, permission or approval is required from any party pursuant to the
provisions of the Contract Documents, such consent, permission or approval shall, unless expressly
provided otherwise in this Agreement, be given or obtained, as applicable, in writing.
ARTICLE 3 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
ARTICLE 4 OTHER PROVISIONS
Section 4.1 Design-Builder’s Responsibilities. The Design-Builder also expressly
acknowledges that this Project and the Work will proceed on a "fast-track" method of construction,
i.e., construction will commence without final Drawings and Specifications in place. More
specifically, while Drawings and Specifications are complete for certain portions of Work, the
design process will continue for other portions during construction based on the Guaranteed
Maximum Price premises and assumptions. The Design-Builder has been, and will continue to be,
an active participant in the design process. Given such participation, the Design-Builder represents
that it is familiar with the scope and quality of those aspects of the Project that have not yet been
fully designed, and has taken such scope and quality matters into consideration in preparing each
component of the Guaranteed Maximum Price. The Design-Builder agrees to work with the
Department in managing the construction and design work to complete the design process. The
Design-Builder shall manage the Project, including coordinating redesign or Value Engineering
necessary or advisable for certain aspects of the Project at any stage of the design process in order
to bring the cost of such Work within or below, but not in excess of, the respective allowances or
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
the budgeted or allocated amounts for other items contained in the Guaranteed Maximum
Price. Once the Drawings and Specifications are complete, it is recognized by the Design-Builder
and the Department that the scope of the Guaranteed Maximum Price may include Work not
expressly indicated on the Contract Documents, but which is reasonably inferable from the
Contract Documents, and such Work shall be performed without any increase in the Guaranteed
Maximum Price or extension of Contract Time, except if and to the extent otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement.
ARTICLE 5 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 5.1 Prior Agreement Unaffected. Except as expressly agreed to herein, all of the
terms, conditions, representations and warranties set forth in the Agreement shall remain
unaffected and in full force and affect.
Section 5.2 Integrated Agreement. This Amendment and any attachment hereto set forth
the entire agreement and understanding of the parties regarding the transactions contemplated
hereby and supersede all prior oral and written agreements, arrangements and understandings
relating to the subject matter hereof. There are no oral or written agreements or understandings,
representations or warranties among the parties other than those set forth herein.
Section 5.3 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall be considered one and the
same instrument.
Section 5.4 Construction. This Agreement shall be construed fairly as to all parties and
not in favor of or against any party, regardless of which party prepared the Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties to this Amendment to Agreement (DCAM-
22-CS-RFP-0005) has caused it to be executed by its duly authorized representative on the dates
set forth below.

determined by an award fee committee (the “Award Fee Evaluation Committee”), which will
be appointed by the Design-Builder and the Department within sixty (60) days after award.
The Award Fee Evaluation Committee shall consist of the following people:
i. DGS Capital Construction Division (CCD) Deputy Director or their
designee
ii. DPR Chief of Facilities or their designee
iii. DGS CCD representative
iv. DPR Facilities representative
Panelist shall not be an individual who has day- to-day interactions or involvement on the
Project. Panelist shall not be an individual who is presently involved in an active project with
the Design-Builder. Upon Substantial Completion, the Award Fee Evalua tion Committee
shall inspect the Project and assess, for each of the areas of the Project listed below, the
overall appearance, functionality and level of quality found in the Work. In making this
determination, the Award Fee Evaluation Committee shall average their individual scores
into a single score based upon the following scale:
i. 0 points – the Design -Builder failed to meet the minimum
requirements of the Project and/or quality.
ii. 1 point – the Design -Builder marginally met the minimum
requirements of the Project and/or quality with major deficiencies
iii. 2 points – The Design -Builder marginally met the minimum
requirements of the Project and/or quality with minor deficiencies
iv. 3 points – The Design-Builder met the requirements of the Project
and/or quality with minimal deficiencies
v. 4 points – The Design-Builder met some requirements and/or quality
and exceeded others. There were no deficiencies.
vi. 5 points – The Design -Builder exceeded most, if not all, the
requirements of the Project and/or quality with no deficiencies.
If the Award Fee Evaluation Committee’s average score is 4 points or greater, then the
Design-Builder shall be entitled to the full award fee. If the average score is less than 4, then
the average score shall be divided by four (4) and then multiplied by t he award fee. That
shall be the amount of the award fee that shall be given to the Design- Builder. Example 1:
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
The average score is 3.5 and the award fee is $200,000. The Design-Builder shall be entitled
to $175,000. Example 2: The average score is 4.1 and the award fee is $200,000. The Design-
Builder shall be entitled to $200,000. At a minimum, the Award Fee Evaluation Committee
shall evaluate the following for their scoring:
i. Main entrance to building, both exterior and interior
ii. Playground, if included
iii. Playing fields, if included
iv. Gymnasium
v. Façade, not including windows
vi. Windows (exterior), including any framing
vii. Public space that was part of the Design-Builder’s scope
viii. Discovery Commons area(s)
ix. Workout Room
x. Multipurpose Room
xi. Locker Rooms
xii. Level of completeness of punch list
xiii. Historic elements, if included
xiv. Plantings and landscaping
xv. Interior finishes in hallways
xvi. Interior finishes in classrooms
xvii. Interior finishes in offices
Prior to being eligible for the Quality Incentive walk, all quality control and quality assurance
related deficiencies documented by the District shall be resolved and accepted as resolved
by the District.
c) If the Design-Builder achieves Substantial Completion of the Project as stated in Section
1.5 on time the Design-Builder shall be entitled to receive twenty five percent (25%) of the
At Risk Portion (i.e. 10% of the Design-Build Fee). Entitlement to this portion of the Award
Fee Pool shall be based on the final outcome of the Project and the Project has been
successfully turned over to the District. For the avoidance of doubt, the Design-Builder shall
not be entitled to earn such portion of the Award Fe e Pool even if the failure to deliver on -
time was caused by DPR, the Department, delays resulting from the permitting or zoning
process, or an event of Force Majeure.
d) If the Design-Builder achieves Final Completion of the Project as stated in Section 1.5,
the Design -Build Fee and the final amount due to the Design- Builder (inclusive of the
Preconstruction Fee, the Design Fee, the earned portions of the Award Fee, the Base Design-
Build Fee and the Cost of General Conditions) is less than one hundred three percent (103%)
or the GMP as originally established, the Design-Builder shall earn twenty -five percent
(25%) of the At-Risk Portion (i.e. 10% of the Design-Build Fee). Entitlement to this portion
of the Award Fee Pool shall be based on the final outcome of the Project. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Design-Builder shall not be entitled to earn such portion of the Award Fee Pool
even if the failure to deliver within the (103%) cost goal was caused by DPR, the Department,
delays resulting from the permitting or zoning process, or an event of Force Majeure.

FOREWORD
Recent SmartMarket Reports by McGraw Hill Construction (now Dodge Data & Analytics) indicate the
business value of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is increasing. The Business Value of BIM in
North America: Multi‐Year Trend Analysis and User Ratings (2007‐2012) showed BIM adoption
increasing from 17% in 2007 to 71% in 2012, with 62% of respondents among the industry perceiving a
positive return on their investment in BIM. The Business Value of BIM for Owners (2014) identified
68% of U.S. Owners surveyed as either requiring or encouraging BIM for their projects.
The National Institute of Building Sciences is proud to introduce the National Building Information
Modeling Guide for Owners (NBGO), intended to outline for the building Owner how to develop and
implement requirements for BIM application in internal policies and procedures as well as in contracts
to plan, design, construct, and operate buildings.
As BIM adoption in the U.S. continues to rise, the Owner stands to benefit most, by implementing BIM
as a tool to maximize a building’s value throughout its lifecycle. BIM potentially facilitates better‐
informed Owner decision‐making, design‐intent communication, project coordination across various
phases, enhanced project delivery schedule and budget management, post‐construction asset and
facility management, building automation and control, and many other benefits, including increased
property resale values of the building, as well as leasing revenues.
We authored the NBGO to assist Owners in working with the other members of the building team to
maximize the potential of BIM on their projects. We would welcome your comments and feedback as
you put the NBGO to work for you.
Sincerely,
Henry L. Green, Hon. AIA

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The intended audience for this Guide is the building Owner. The Guide defines an approach to creating
and fulfilling Building Information Modeling (BIM) requirements for a typical project from the Owner’s
standpoint.
Merely requiring BIM on a project does not equate to success if the Owner’s goals for the project are
not clearly set and BIM requirements do not correlate to achieving those goals. BIM must be well
planned and properly executed; not just BIM, but “BIM DONE RIGHT,”1 aligning the right amount and
types of resources to achieve the right results.
This Guide builds on the premise that BIM, in and of itself, is not the end but rather the means to a
number of potentially valuable project delivery outcomes for the Owner. It offers a toolset addressing
three broad areas the Owner should understand in order to direct the Project Team to BIM DONE
RIGHT: process, infrastructure and standards, and execution.
The Process for using BIM effectively on a project begins with defining BIM requirements in the
Owner's contracts with service providers (to plan, design, construct, and operate the building) and with
other stakeholders based on the project delivery method (design‐bid‐build, design‐build, IPD, etc.).
Early on, a successful BIM process includes identifying the roles and responsibilities of key project
stakeholders with respect to information modeling as well as creating a BIM Project Execution Plan
(PxP), an outcome‐driven BIM roadmap that details how the project will be completed. Process also
includes managing the project for compliance with the PxP and contract requirements, including the
project deliverables.
Infrastructure and standards acknowledges the high degree of human collaboration and software
interoperability needed for successful project information modeling , particularly as the project moves
from phase to phase. To achieve the necessary level of interactivity, the Owner must require all
members of the Project BIM Team to adhere to a framework of standards and structures from the
project’s onset.
Execution encompasses creating a Project Execution Plan (PxP), a master plan for how information
modeling will be done and managed, at the inception of a project. The PxP documents the Owner’s and
the Project BIM Team’s mutual agreement on how, by whom, when, why, to what level, and for what
project outcomes (called “BIM Uses”) information modeling will be used.
While the Guide highlights the essential requirements for BIM, it also offers options for Owners who
wish to go beyond minimum requirements. And finally, while the guide uses the term “building”
generically, in keeping with the terminology of “Building Information Modeling,” it is intended to apply
to information modeling for the built environment; i.e., site elements and facilities as well as buildings.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of the National Building Information Modeling Guide for Owners (NBGO) is to outline for
the building Owner how to develop and implement requirements for the application of Building
Information Modeling (BIM) for internal policies and procedures, and explain how to include these
requirements in contracts to plan, design, construct and operate buildings. This Guide uses the term
“building” generically, in keeping with the terminology of “Building Information Modeling.” It is
intended to apply to information modeling for the built environment: site elements and facilities as
well as buildings.
1.2 SCOPE
This Guide establishes recommendations for processes, standards, and deliverables for a BIM‐enabled
project that can be continually shared and agreed upon by the Owner and the rest of the Project BIM
Team, which can include planners, constructors, facilities managers, and subcontractors, as well as
designers.
1.3 USE
The recommendations in this Guide should be used by the Owner to create specific project
requirements for BIM based on the project’s unique and individual needs that can then be followed
and implemented by the Project BIM Team to enhance facility value.
Many aspects of the building industry are discovering increased value in BIM. Owners, architects, engineers,
contractors, subcontractors, and facility managers all have collective and individual interests for the project and
their business continuity, respectively. BIM has the capacity to be used within each phase of a project – from
conceptual, through final design, construction, and on to operations – with a variety of applications ranging
from Clash Detection, Quantity Takeoff, Scheduling, FM operations, and many others. While each application or
‘use’ of BIM offers value in itself and any project participant engaging in these various ‘uses’ could state they are
‘doing BIM’; the efforts won’t likely yield optimal results without proper planning, coordination, and execution.
It is the project team’s activities in concert with the Owner’s requirements that provide the greatest potential
lifecycle value. This is “BIM Done Right”* and helping Owners achieve this for their projects is the goal of this
Guide.

2. PROCESS
At the project’s inception, the Owner establishes the intent and general requirements for the building.
Collectively, these are known as the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR), and are defined by the
National BIM Standard – United States® (NBIMS‐US™) Version 32 (V3) as the ‘Owner's written
documentation of the functional requirements of the "facility" and the expectations of how it will be
used and operated. They include project and design goals, budgets, limitations, schedules.’ These
requirements are transferred into the building’s “basis of design,” (BOD), used by the building’s design
team to define the approach and parameters for designing the building to meet the Owner’s
requirements. The data developed during design is then transferred by the design team into
construction documents, which become the record of all the building’s physical elements. As each
building element’s construction is completed, it is either accepted through traditional design team
construction contract administration practices and/or commissioned by an independent
Commissioning Authority that the final construction meets the OPR and that the functional
performance of the element has been verified.
As the project moves from phase to phase, the information contained within the BIM grows in both
quantity and specificity. The nature of BIM technology and the interoperability (ability to be
exchanged and used) of the data contained within the BIM allow different Owners to use the BIM in
multiple ways, depending on their specific needs. In addition to design and construction, BIM
applications can include asset management, building automation and control, interdisciplinary
coordination, scheduling, cost estimating, and integrated construction specifications.
Models generated during planning, design, construction, and operations continue to serve as
information resources used to keep the building operating at optimal efficiency. When well planned
and executed, the use of BIM may reduce the building life‐cycle cost. Using BIM in concert with
planning and team building, with its shared and continually updated information, also helps the team
minimize conflicts, cuts down on repetition and duplication of tasks, and helps to optimize planning,
design, construction, and operations.
The process for enabling BIM to be used effectively on a project should follow these steps:
1. Define minimum BIM requirements in the Owner's contracts with service providers (planning,
design, construction, operations, etc.) and other stakeholders based on the project delivery
method (design‐bid‐build, design‐build, IPD, etc.).
2. Identify the roles and responsibilities of key project stakeholders with respect to information
modeling.
3. Collaboratively create a BIM Project Execution Plan (PxP) with key project stakeholders.
4. Manage the project for compliance with the PxP and contract requirements, including Model
and Data Deliverables, through periodic reviews.
Where the model(s) is to be used for design/documentation and then for construction, the BIM PxP
should address model exchange procedures, i.e., how the model(s) can migrate between project
phases effectively with minimum effort. First, the Project BIM Team members need to coordinate the
BIM Uses they seek to leverage when they determine the model exchange procedures. For example,
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 4
model coordination would require a high degree of geometric accuracy for the design model. Once
BIM Uses are identified, the team should decide who is developing which models, and when these
models are exchanged. The BIM PxP should be used to organize responsibilities and modeling
requirements.
2.1 DEFINE BIM REQUIREMENTS
BIM requirements are defined by the Owner’s overall goals, business practices, and corporate culture
and are shaped by the OPR. They are developed on a project‐by‐project basis, as the Project BIM Team
selects BIM Uses to achieve these requirements. The Owner should provide any resources, such as
feasibility studies and/or access to stakeholder interviews, for the BIM Project BIM Team to define
Owner‐related goals. Once the Owner’s project BIM goals are defined, the Project BIM Team should
also ensure that these BIM goals can be met with current technology practices and required team
competencies. The project BIM goals should lead to the choice of BIM Uses and additional BIM
requirements.
2.1.1 BIM Uses and Requirements
The Owner should at a minimum require the five Essential BIM Uses described in Section 4.2.2: Existing
Conditions, Design Authoring, Design Review, three‐dimensional (3D) Coordination, and Record
Modeling. Project conditions may justify other Enhanced BIM Uses, as described in Section 4.2.3, or
Owner‐Related Uses, as described in Section 4.2.4. The Project BIM Team should develop the
recommended BIM Uses for the project by leveraging resources provided in the National BIM
Standard– United States® (NBIMS‐US™) Version 3 (V3) along with other resources. NBIMS‐US™ ,
developed by the National Institute of Building Sciences buildingSMART alliance®, contains core
consensus‐approved standards regarding the exchange of information and standard practices for
implementing BIM on a project.
Once BIM Uses are defined, the Level of Development (LOD) requirements should be determined.
There are Default LOD, Template LOD, and Custom LOD (see Section 3.6.4). An Owner can adopt a
Default LOD that references established LOD requirements, such as the United States Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) Minimum Modeling Matrix (M3).3 The Owner also can use existing templates to
develop LOD requirements, such as the American Institute of Architects (AIA) G‐202 Building
Information Modeling Protocol.4 It also is possible for Owners to develop a custom LOD matrix for
their organization, but if they do so, they should adhere to the LOD spec definitions. Any of these
three forms of LOD specification provides a means for Owners to develop contract requirements for
models and data requirements.
2.1.2 Project Delivery Method
The choice of project delivery method for the project affects the way in which the BIM is developed
and how information is exchanged. A design‐build (DB) project may only have one Project BIM
Manager, while a design‐bid‐build (D‐B‐B) project should have one BIM Manager for design and
another one for construction. Similarly, the Owner should understand that the project delivery method
will affect the level of responsibility that the Owner assumes for information management and
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 5
exchange between project phases. For example, in D‐B‐B, the Owner may be responsible for
information exchange between design stakeholders and construction stakeholders. The project
contracts should define responsibilities for the design and construction contracting entities, and,
therefore, the Level of Development (LOD) and division of responsibilities. Information exchange
across contracting parties also should be clearly defined and closely managed.
2.1.3 Intellectual Property.
Project deliverables should be clearly and completely defined in the Owner/designer and
Owner/contractor agreements, especially if the PxP is developed after contracts have been executed.
The intellectual property rights of the Owner should be clearly defined and validated in the PxP. The
Owner should, at a minimum, have the right to use the project data defined as project deliverables in
the BIM PxP. Project data should include the:
Model files (BIM, CAD)
Drawing files (CAD, electronic sheets such as PDFs, and/or plot files)
Electronic manuals
Tabular/textual information derived from BIM (e.g., spreadsheets)
Reference files necessary to supplement other project data
Publicly funded projects are subject to the governing authority’s acquisition requirements. Federally
funded projects are governed per Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 27, Patents, Data, and
Copyrights.5 Any exceptions to ownership rights should be clearly noted in the project contract(s),
documented in the BIM PxP, and approved by the Project BIM Team. Ownership of project data is
conveyed to the Owner at the time of project closeout. Owner reuse rights should be defined in the
Owner/stakeholder contracts. The Project BIM Team should review this guide, the BIM PxP, and the
project contract(s) to determine governing requirements and permissions and/or limitations for
ownership, conveyance, and/or reuse of data. The project contract conditions and terms take
precedence over this guide, and, as with all contract documents, it is advisable to seek the advice of
legal counsel.
Commentary:
When using this Guide to develop contracts between stakeholders regarding the use of BIM to plan,
design, construct and operate buildings, the information herein should not be considered a
substitute for legal, business, insurance or financial advice. Contracts may have important legal,
business, insurance and financial consequences. Each stakeholder or party to a contract is strongly
encouraged to seek the advice of attorneys, and business, insurance, and financial counselors and
advisers, as each stakeholder deems appropriate, when drafting, reviewing, and negotiating all
contracts and clauses including, but not limited to, all terms and conditions, contract and project
management requirements, intellectual property rights, and the electronic storage and transfer of
documents and data.

National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 6
2.1.4 Final Turnover Requirements
The Owner should consider the final deliverable requirements for project data. Owners should review
their current information needs for operations and maintenance, and establish data requirements that
support those needs. The Owner also should consider how BIM can support future facilities
management and operations, and develop requirements that support future needs as well. At a
minimum, major equipment should be described by facility attributes such as make, model,
manufacturer, and serial number. Additional attributes include warranty information, parts lists,
maintenance schedules, and manufacturer contact information.
2.2 TEAM ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
2.2.1 Owner’s BIM Representative(s)
Especially for larger and more complex projects, the Owner should designate an Owner’s BIM
Representative. The Owner’s BIM Representative should have a clear understanding of BIM and the
OPR. The Owner's BIM Representative should, at a minimum:
Represent the Owner’s requirements and be able to effectively communicate them to other
stakeholders.
Serve as the primary liaison between the Owner and the Project BIM Manager(s) for all BIM‐
related issues.
Have oversight of BIM requirements in all project phases, from planning through the
construction of the project, and at least the beginning of the operations phase.
Receive, review, and approve BIM deliverables.
Figure 1. BIM Role and Responsibility Chart
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 7
2.2.2 Project BIM Manager Role
The project should have a designated Project BIM Manager. The Project BIM Manager role may be
fulfilled by more than one person; for example, many projects have a lead design BIM Manager and a
lead construction BIM Manager (see Figure 1). The Project BIM Manager should have sufficient BIM
education and experience for the size and complexity of the project, as well as the relevant proficiency
in the proposed BIM authoring and coordination software selected for use on the project. In the
absence of an Owner’s BIM Representative, the Project BIM Manager should serve as the main point of
contact with the Project BIM Team for all BIM‐related issues.
During each phase of a project, the Project BIM Manager at a minimum should:
Lead the process of creating and updating the BIM PxP in accordance with the OPR.
Verify compliance of the PxP deliverables.
Coordinate all updates for individual models, specialized models, and databases.
Administer Project Quality Management and Data Security Management.
Develop, coordinate, publish, and verify necessary configurations required for integration of
project data.
Facilitate distribution of project data.
Compile project data for review and coordination.
Facilitate design review.
Meet with relevant project stakeholders for review of turnover documents.
Deliver model(s) and Facility Data to Owner for use in operations.
2.2.3 Discipline/Trade BIM Leads
Each discipline/trade should assign an individual to the role of BIM lead for the duration of the project.
These individuals should have the relevant BIM experience required by the complexity of the project.
The discipline/trade BIM lead maintains a continuous interface with the Project BIM Manager.
The responsibilities of the discipline/trade BIM leads for their respective discipline/trade include:
Act as the lead BIM contact for the discipline/trade.
Develop and manage exchange of models.
Maintain and manage integrity of the model.
Assume additional roles and responsibilities as defined to support the PxP and other
contractual requirements.
2.2.4 Collaboration
The Project BIM Team should not rely on information exchange as the sole means of project
communication; information exchange is not collaboration. The Project BIM Team should schedule
regular BIM coordination meetings during which team members meet to discuss design and
construction issues, using the model as a shared resource. The frequency of such interactions depends
on the project's goals, BIM Uses, and Project BIM Team members’ capabilities.
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 8
Through the BIM project planning process, the Project BIM Team should agree on how and in what
ways the Project BIM Team members will collaborate using the BIM. All project stakeholders involved
with modeling should develop and agree to a project‐specific BIM PxP. This plan should include the
requirements for information exchange among the parties, as well as for expected interactions with
the model.
2.3 BIM PROJECT EXECUTION PLANNING
The BIM Project Execution Plan (PxP) is the central document for BIM implementation. This plan should
be authored by the Project BIM Team collectively, and onboarding processes should be developed for
Project BIM Team members who join the project after the initial plan has been developed. The steps of
BIM PxP include:
Figure 2. BIM Project Execution Planning Procedure6
The BIM PxP should contain all content necessary to document the process of implementing BIM on a
project. Specific BIM PxP content requirements can be found in Section 4.1 of this document.
Specifically, the team should develop plans and protocols to meet the OPR, including, as a minimum,
file sharing and data security.
2.3.1 File Sharing Requirements
The file sharing requirements will vary depending on the project’s BIM Uses. At a minimum, the PxP
should include a description of the:
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 9
File system(s) the team will use to exchange, merge, and visualize models
Schedule for or frequency of model updates and clash detection checks
Tools and process to be used for clash detection checking
Process to be used to generate drawings from coordinated models
2.3.2 Data Security
Owners should apply their existing data security standards to BIM protocols. The Owner should
consider the security risks in terms of the protection of data. The Owner may wish to consider
including data restrictions procedures, such as check‐out and check‐in, as well as stipulating the degree
of access control for project participants. The Owner should require the Project BIM Team to complete
a Data Security Protocol that complies with data security requirements as defined below.
2.3.2.1 Data Security Protocol (DSP). As part of the PxP, the Project BIM Team should develop and
submit a Data Security Protocol (DSP) to the Owner that outlines security protocols to be implemented
for the project. The DSP should be approved by the Owner prior to commencing work. At a minimum,
the DSP should address:
User access rights and permissions, outlining the various roles and degrees of access to the
data. Roles should correlate to those defined in this guide and the BIM PxP. The DSP also should
identify any additional user access required.
Data protection, documenting how the data will be protected from:
o Accidental loss
o File Corruption (malware, viruses)
o Misuse/negligence
o Unauthorized conveyance
o Deliberate attack (internal or external)
Data process and handling protocol procedures for:
o Exchange: How and with what frequency data will be exchanged. The DSP should align
with other requirements in the BIM PxP and provide more detail specific to data exchange.
o Maintenance: Describe the maintenance plan for all data sources, transmission devices,
and storage devices used for the project.
o Backup: Describe in detail the backup scheme implemented by the Project BIM Team,
including frequency and retention of backups.
o Archiving: Describe the storage, retrieval, and retention system to be used by the Project
BIM Team.
2.4 MANAGING PROJECT REQUIREMENTS AND DELIVERABLES
2.4.1 Quality Planning
The entire Project BIM Team is responsible for quality control. However, the team should specify roles
and responsibilities for model management and quality management for the project. The BIM PxP
includes the management strategies for implementing BIM Uses and requirements. Quality
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 10
management processes should be used to ensure BIM is created for downstream uses of the model
data.
The quality standards for the modeling activities should be discussed in detail at the early stages of the
project. The following items should be developed by the Project BIM Team prior to the start of the
modeling activities:
A clearly defined Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) section within the BIM PxP
A detailed QA approach for monitoring the modeling process
A detailed QC approach to test the final deliverables for compliance with the quality standards
Each QA and QC activity should identify a Project BIM Team member specifically responsible for
performing the task. The QA and QC approaches may also be incorporated into project contracts to
ensure compliance.
2.4.2 Quality Assurance
Quality assurance procedures should be defined to ensure that the Project BIM Team members are
performing the modeling process defined within the BIM PxP. The QA activities should also be
consistent with the contract. Minimum QA activities should include:
Definition and validation of testing or prototyping process to verify the model meets the
minimum modeling requirements
Validation of resource availability and capabilities to perform modeling activities
Review of the information exchange definitions to assure that the deliverables are clearly
defined and unambiguous
Additional QA activities may include:
Periodic reviews of the modeling procedures to ensure that the activities being performed are
consistent with the initial plan
Documentation of the final modeling process for future reference by Project BIM Team
members
2.4.3 Quality Control
Quality control tests should be defined to verify that the project deliverables comply with the project
requirements. The Project BIM Manager should verify that all required deliverables are submitted and
appropriately distributed as defined within the BIM PxP and any additional contractual agreements.
The following QC activities should be performed on all project data delivered to the Owner:
Verification of the file or data exchange metadata as defined within the BIM PxP to include (as
appropriate for the data exchange types):
o Date of submission
o File type (if file)
o File name (if file)
o Database access instructions (if there is database content)
o General description of content
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 11
o Data schema (organization) of the file, including version, date created, and date modified
by buildingSMART International (as appropriate)
o Description of the data exchange standard (if an open standard)
Validation of the proper file type, naming convention, and appropriate software version
Validation of final submitted model files (content) against the information exchange standard:
o Manual validation of a specified sample of elements to verify that the information is
properly structured and accurate. The sample size may vary based upon the level of
criticality of the information element. The sampling procedure should be defined within
the BIM PxP
o Visual model inspection to review general model content
o Inspection of the coordinate system to ensure that all model files have a common
coordinate system
Validation that model clashes have been resolved per the owners predefined minimum
requirements and the criteria established within the BIM PxP.
The tests should be performed within an agreed‐upon time before or after project milestones, as
specified by the contract.
Additional QC activities may include:
Checks: All Project BIM Team members should check the modeling content that they receive
from other team members or the Owner to verify that the exchanges contain valid field entries
and the proper information elements. Project BIM Team members should report any unusual
information content.
Project Data Submission Log: The Project BIM Team should develop and use a Project Data
Submission Log, which includes model/modeling compliance issues and corrective actions. The
Project BIM Manager should review the Project Data Submission Log, participate in
collaborative team resolution, and provide direction when needed.

3. INFRASTRUCTURE AND STANDARDS
3.1 TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE
For the purposes of this Guide, infrastructure is defined as the entire technology system used for a BIM
project. It broadly encompasses BIM as the digital representation of the physical and functional
characteristics of the built environment. The use of the term platform in this section applies to all
project‐relevant computing platforms (hardware and software), including but not limited to
computers, servers, network devices, backup systems, and file‐sharing systems, be they resident on a
local network or web/cloud based. Computing platforms are part of an Owner’s and other project
stakeholders’ technology infrastructure, along with networks and physical workspaces.
Computing platform generally and broadly applies to the computer hardware and operating systems
(OS) on which computer programs or software are designed to run. The Owner should consider current
hardware and OS, and software‐specific application capabilities that exist within his/her own
organization and the organization of other project stakeholders—as well as future hardware and OS
capabilities that are preferred or can be anticipated. Infrastructure requirements should be considered
for all project phases, from planning concept through what will be available during the facility
management and operations phase of the project. For each project phase, the Owner should consider
how information is created, stored, exchanged, secured, backed up or archived, and delivered, and
whether each should be localized, cloud‐ or web‐based, or a hybrid.
The Owner should require that any BIM‐related work products be:
Compatible with the Owner's computer platform requirements
Capable of supporting current and legacy file formats
Agnostic (i.e., designed to be compatible across most common OS, hardware or software
systems), adaptable, and scalable with respect to potential future computing
Able to support open, consensus standards to maximize future compatibility
Additionally, the Owner should consider requiring the Project BIM Team to use specific technology
infrastructure to support the Owner’s overarching business and project goals.
All technology infrastructure used for a project should be documented in the BIM PxP.
3.2 STANDARDS
3.2.1 Categories of Standards
The Owner should consider three broad categories of BIM standards: Organizational (internal)
Standards, Primary Standards, and Reference Standards. Organizational Standards and Primary
Standards for BIM (or appropriate portions of them) should be cited in the Owner's contract language
with other stakeholders as the minimum acceptable standards when BIM is used and BIM deliverables
are required. Merely citing the standard by name in a contract will not ensure that any use of BIM on a
project or BIM deliverable required will meet an Owner's current and future needs.
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 13
3.2.2 Standards in this Guide
The following standards should be used when applying this guide. Where the Owner already has
Organizational Standards and OPRs or other agency‐specific requirements that reference these
standards or modify them, those standards should be used in conjunction with the guidance provided
here. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition
(including any amendments) applies.
The National BIM Standard– United States® (NBIMS‐US™) Version 3 (V3), developed by the National
Institute of Building Sciences buildingSMART alliance®, contains core consensus‐approved standards
regarding the exchange of information and standard practices for implementing BIM on a project. In
addition to NBIMS‐US™ V3, the buildingSMART International has developed multiple open information
exchange standards. All information exchanges that require an open, standard format should comply
with the information exchange standards approved within NBIMS‐US™ V3 or approved by
buildingSMART International. The current approved information exchange standards include:
Construction to Operations Building information exchange (COBie) (NBIMS‐US™ V3)
Design to Spatial Program Validation (SPV) (NBIMS‐US™ V3)
Design to Quantity Takeoff for Cost Estimating (NBIMS‐US™ V3)
Design to Building Energy Analysis (BEA) (NBIMS‐US® V3)
Building Programming information exchange (BPie) (NBIMS‐US™ V3)
Electrical System information exchange (Sparkie) (NBIMS‐US™ V3)
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning information exchange (HVACie) (NBIMS‐US™ V3)
Water System information exchange (WSie) (NBIMS‐US™ V3)
IFC 2x3 Coordination View (NBIMS‐US™ V3) (http://www.buildingsmart‐
tech.org/downloads/view‐definitions/coordination‐view/sub‐
schema/CoordinationView_V20_EntityList_IFC2x3_Version16_Final.pdf)
These standards are available at no cost on the NBIM‐US™ V3 website,
https://www.nationalbimstandard.org [login required]
Commentary:
Standards, as used in this guideline, are documents created to establish minimum levels of quality or
achievement that are acceptable. Mandatory standards are those that have been formally adopted by a
code agency or government entity (authority) such as municipalities, state or federal agencies, or
departments. Voluntary standards are those non‐mandatory standards used by Owners and other
organizations and industries to set minimally acceptable standards of quality and achievement.
BIM is not a mandatory requirement in the United States. However, numerous countries around the world
are beginning to write BIM requirements into their local and federal codes and statutes.
This section addresses the standards that Owners should reference when requiring BIM. These
requirements include, but are not limited to, the Owner’s internal policies, procedures, and requirements
(Organizational Standards), as well as Primary and Referenced Standards. The Owner should include these
standards in the OPR.
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250

Approved by buildingSMART International but not yet included in NBIMS‐US™ V3 are:
IFC4 Reference View (buildingSMART International)

IFC4 Design Transfer View (buildingSMART International)
http://www.buildingsmart‐tech.org/specifications/ifc‐view‐definition/ifc4‐design‐transfer‐
view8
The NBIMS‐US™ V3 also outlines a standard procedure for the development and documentation of a
BIM PxP. (See NBIMS‐US™ V3, Section 5.3: BIM Project Execution Planning Guide.) The Project BIM
Team should follow this standard planning approach and document format.
NBIMS‐US™ V3 also outlines by reference common information classifications defined within the
OmniClass tables. When applicable, these information classification tables should be used to maintain
standard information terminology and classifications.
In addition to NBIMS‐US™‐V3, there are other important standards that should be considered,
including ISO 16739:2013,9 which outlines the data schema for the Industry Foundation Classes, an
open data schema for storing information regarding a building project. The United States National CAD
Standard® (NCS) Version 6 (V6) should also be used to ensure that the final design documentation
complies with standards.
These standards sometimes can cover similar subject areas. While areas of overlap or conflict should
be identified in the BIM PxP, it is possible for inconsistencies between the documents to come to light
during the project. In these instances, the Project BIM Manager should be notified immediately. In
response, the Project BIM Manager should determine, in consultation with the Owner and other
stakeholders, which document will take precedence or whether amendments are required.
Where an OPR is unique and its Organization Standards differ or are more stringent than the minimum
requirements established by referencing the NBIMS‐US™, the NBIMS‐US™ and its referenced standards
should be formally extended, modified, and supplemented by clear and specific language in the
Owner's contracts with other stakeholders.
3.2.3 Open Standards Format for Supporting Information
To ensure the life‐cycle use of building information, information supporting common industry
deliverables should be provided in open standards, along with their native file formats where
applicable. The formats used should be specified in the BIM PxP and should include the following
standards as appropriate:
Industry Foundation Class (IFC), Model View Definition (MVD) formats. Three most commonly
used model views are: Coordination View, COBie, and GSA Design to Spatial Program
Validation10.
Additional open standard formats, such as gbXML11.
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 15
For those contract deliverables whose open standard formats have not yet been finalized, the
deliverable should be provided in a mutually agreed upon format that allows the reuse of building
information outside the context of the proprietary BIM software.
3.3 SPACE AND GRAPHICAL STANDARDS
3.3.1 Owner‐Specified Guidelines and Standards
The Owner should specify any additional guidelines and standards for drawings and spaces. Rooms and
spaces should adhere to the format as defined therein.12
3.3.2 Drawing
The United States National CAD Standard® (NCS) should be incorporated by reference. Graphical
output from BIM should comply with the NCS per the clarifications outlined in its BIM Implementation
Section. Sheet sets should be organized and numbered per the NCS. All annotation symbol
requirements therein should be adhered to.
3.3.3 Sheet Layout
In addition to the sheet layout requirements in the NCS, all sheets should maintain a consistent size
and orientation throughout the set. Title block borders should maintain the same positioning on each
sheet to allow for overlay and appropriate printing of the extents of the sheet.
3.3.4 Areas/Rooms/Spaces
Identifying tags and schedules for areas, rooms, and spaces should comply with the NCS.
3.3.5 Digital Documentation and Archiving
Copies of all approved submittals and other documents normally provided in traditional paper‐based
formats should be provided Portable Document Format (PDF) format, or other open electronic
document format. Documents authored directly by the Project BIM Team should be transformed to
PDF to allow searching of the documents and selection of text within the document. Documents
authored by others, but used by the Project BIM Team (such as manufacturer product data sheets),
should be provided as PDFs made available by the manufacturer. If not available as PDFs from their
authors, the documents should be scanned to create PDF documents. PDFs should comply with the
following ISO Standards:
ISO 19005‐3 (2012): Document management—Electronic document file format for long‐term
preservation—Part 3: Use of ISO 32000‐1 with support for embedded files (PDF/A‐3).13
ISO 32000‐1 (2008): Document management—Portable document format—Part 1: PDF 1.7.14
Commentary:
This section identifies standards and requirements for graphical output and/or paper printing.
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 16
PDFs of construction documents should comply with the Guideline for Construction PDF Documents15
available from the Construction PDF Coalition. Additionally, the Construction PDF Coalition provides a
web form for customizing the requirements on its website.
3.4 FILE STRUCTURE
Well‐run BIM PxP and project data have well‐defined project file naming and folder organization
standards. The folder structure should be defined in the PxP. The project file sharing system should
have the high level branches of the folder structure pre‐populated in the system at the beginning of
the project.
Since record documents will be distributed through the folder system, the project folder organization
should align with the division of responsibilities of the stakeholders. It is beneficial to establish a file
permission strategy on the shared folder system, where only appropriate organizations in the project
have write permissions within their assigned folders, and the remainder of the team has read‐only
permission. At the highest level, the folder system should be controlled by the project administration.
File naming conventions similarly are needed to establish coherency of project documentation and
simplify high level understanding of the file contents. The file naming system may identify a set of data
fields to be contained in the file name. A typical file standard will establish a clear order on file name
attributes with a reserved delimiter such as underscore (_) to identify the divisions between fields. The
NCS provides a proposed naming convention for files, including standard contract documents
https://www.nationalcadstandard.org/ncs6/
3.4.1 Owner‐Specified Requirements
The project should comply with any Owner‐specified platform requirements. The following sections are
provided as examples for Owners who do not have predefined requirements. Regardless of the
requirements used, the naming conventions should be consistent.
3.4.2 Folder Naming
Folder names should be numbered or alphabetized to control order. Folder names should be clear
indicators as to what the folder contains (e.g., a folder for Models could be named 07_ Models).
3.4.3 File Naming
File names should contain a discipline designator (such as “A” for Architectural) as defined in the NCS.
Custom naming schema should be clearly documented in the BIM PxP.
Sheet file names (regardless of file format, such as PDF) should comply with NCS, unless
otherwise dictated or allowed by the Owner. At a minimum, they should include the sheet
number (e.g., A‐101.PDF)
Model file names should contain discipline designator within the name, as outlined in the NCS
(e.g., A‐FP01.ext).

National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 17
3.4.4 Component Naming Conventions
The naming conventions used for the following should be documented in the BIM PxP: e.g.
Systems/Elements/Objects/Components/Parameters.
3.4.5 Submittal Package
All files should be organized and stored in an appropriately named folder as part of the submittal
package. The submittal package should contain the deliverables as outlined in this document, the BIM
PxP, and the project contract(s). The submittal package should also contain any support, source,
reference, and/or linked files necessary to maintain file integrity.
3.4.6 File Sharing
The Owner should require that the team use a model sharing system. If the Owner does not designate
a system, then the Project BIM Manager should provide a model sharing system for the sharing of
individual and merged models. The model sharing system should consider:
Project BIM Team access, including real‐time access and synchronization of models
Automated versioning of models
Data security
Maintenance and archiving of the previous model versions
Permission‐based access for each team member to upload their models
3.4.7 Data Transmittal Requirements
At a minimum, all transmitted data should include the following printed on the media or included as
metadata as applicable per media type (i.e., CD/DVD would have printed labels, whereas model files
would include metadata):
Project title
Project location
Contract number
Designer(s) of record and/or contactor(s) (general or sub)
Classifications for the data (i.e., sensitive, classified, etc.)
Contents of the transmittal, including date created, date modified, version, etc.
Author and/or responsible individual
Recipient(s)
Any additional information required by the Owner or identified in the BIM PxP should be included.
3.5 MODEL STRUCTURE
Model structure defines the highest level of decomposition (breakdown into component parts) of the
digital model(s). Model structure should align with the Owner's Project Requirements (OPR) and
selected BIM Uses, as defined in NBIMS™‐V3 Section 5.9: The Uses of BIM.
If, for technological limitations or work share requirements, the model must be decomposed to a
structure below a single building, then each model should be clearly denoted as a portion of a building,
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 18
and one composite model per building should be provided for each deliverable. Separate model files
(i.e., discipline‐specific or separated by level, etc.) are insufficient as a final deliverable. A holistic
composite model is necessary, even if the composite model is only used as a container for links and/or
references (i.e., a means of packaging all related files for delivery).
The model structure should be clearly defined in the BIM PxP.
3.6 MODEL REQUIREMENTS
The Owner should develop or adopt/adapt well‐defined contract requirements to ensure the project
model data requirements are met. The BIM Contract Requirements should address model
requirements such as modeling responsibility, the modeling process, minimum model contents, Facility
Data to be captured, and Level of Development (LOD). Because proper BIM planning at project
inception is imperative to success and demands thorough understanding, it is recommended that the
Owner procure the services of a specialized BIM consultant or identify one of the contracted parties to
assist in identifying and defining the model/modeling requirements.
Alternatively, the Owner could consider following the example of successful Owner implementation of
BIM requirements within NBIMS‐US™ V3, Section 5.8: Practical BIM Contract Requirements, which
outlines BIM Contract Requirements developed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
to “ensure consistent and usable BIM project deliverables and BIM process. These BIM Contract
Requirements consist of Contract Language, a Project Execution Plan (PxP) Template, and a Minimum
Modeling Matrix (M3).”16
If the USACE M3 is adapted for use, it should reflect the Owner’s particular requirements and
objectives, specifically in the Instructions (Tab 2), Phasing (Tab 3), and Model Element LOD/Grade
goals. Once the template is complete, the tables should be restricted to read‐only for the project
(unless project‐specific variations are specifically desired and permitted in the contract).
It should be understood that with any BIM Contract Requirements—developed or adopted and
adapted—there may be an information gap between what is required for the final BIM deliverables to
the Owner and what is required for each team member to perform their required and/or
recommended BIM Use. It is the responsibility of the individual members of the Project BIM Team to
provide the information necessary for the project’s selected BIM Uses.
Generally, BIM should include the necessary process and content to produce accurate construction
documents (e.g., plans, elevations, sections, schedules, and integrated specifications) and Record
Model project data (e.g., equipment, manufacturer, and model number).
3.6.1 Modeling Responsibility
Project stakeholders’ modeling responsibilities should be clearly defined within the BIM PxP. Each
model element should be assigned to a Model Element Author (MEA) and a corresponding LOD for the
element clearly defined; consequently, each MEA is required to provide the elements at the LOD
specified in the BIM PxP or a corresponding LOD worksheet. Each MEA is responsible for attaching any
data or metadata to the model elements as required by the contract, BIM PxP, or as needed to
facilitate the project’s selected BIM Uses.
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 19
Model elements are most typically assigned to a MEA that also has the design or construction
responsibility of the element. For example, a structural engineer or modeler is typically the MEA for
structural slabs during the design phase. Models are typically divided by discipline or trade. As such, it
is important that not only the MEA is identified for any given element but also the model in which the
element is to reside. While there may be a duplication of some elements across multiple models, an
MEA and LOD worksheet identifies the source responsible for the information and, therefore, that
source is considered to be accurate and reliable.
3.6.2 Modeling Process
The project participants should fully implement industry‐ and software vendor‐identified best practices
and workflows for all aspects of modeling. These include, but are not limited to, using 3D geometry for
representing physical characteristics of project and facility components and elements, using relevant
object categories when possible, adding sufficient attribute information to elements, following proper
naming conventions for all levels and types of data and metadata, and setting up shared resources and
parameters to enable automatic display or extraction of model information to other formats (e.g.,
schedule or tabular formats).
Model elements should be used to produce representations shown in graphical legends and should
match the graphical representations shown in other views and drawings. Model elements requiring a
host or connection to some other component should be done within the same model whenever
possible (e.g., a door is not freestanding but requires a wall as its host, so both door and wall should
reside in the same model). Consideration should be given to how project phasing, display of content by
other discipline/trade models, and workflows or features associated with specific software will be
executed. The overall process utilized should be documented in the BIM PxP.
Modeling process requirements should not be overly prescriptive, but the general and minimum
expectations should be established and responsibilities clearly defined as part of the BIM PxP.
Generally, the modeling process and responsibilities should include:
Use of a standardized classification system organized according to NBIMS‐US™ Section 2.5:
OmniClass Table 21 Elements
Use of IFC‐compliant software (within one version of the latest certification available)
Use of BIM software (within one release version of the latest available) that is capable of
meeting the OPR per project‐specific selected BIM Uses
Use of the appropriate tool(s) within the BIM software selected to create or document the
building element being represented
The model(s) should remain current and represent design intent. The Project BIM Team should
update the model(s) with any revisions as required to complete the work, or at a minimum, at
each project milestone.
The Project BIM Team should document the choice of platform in the BIM PXP.
While the modeling process and corresponding models may vary per project, the following graphic is
an example of typical model progression across project phases and could serve as an information flow
map for an Owner implementing BIM requirements.
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 20
Figure 3. Lifecycle Model Requirements: A Sample Process
Project BIM Team members should use BIM application(s) and software(s) to develop and document
the project. Design professionals should create the Design Intent Model(s) and use them to produce
accurate construction documents. Construction professionals should use the Design Intent Model(s)
and the construction documents as a starting point for developing the Model(s). Similarly as the
Construction Model(s) are progressed during construction, they serve as the basis for Project Data
(which oftentimes includes tabular or textual‐based information). Also during construction, the various
Construction Model(s) combine to develop an As‐Built model that captures more‐detailed construction
conditions (e.g., trade‐specific fabrication models). As the project progresses, the As‐Built Model—
along with the continual stream of project correspondence and information back to the Design
professionals—facilitates the update of the Design Intent Model(s) into a Record Model. The
construction model typically has highly detailed components that are not always an efficient source of
information for operations and maintenance; hence the Record Model is developed from the Design
Intent Model to provide a lightweight model. In general, the Record Model, along with the As‐Built
Model and Project Data, provides facilities management personnel with varying degrees of information
in multiple formats to best support FM uses and activities.
3.6.3 Model Contents
Models and corresponding elements or sub‐elements should be modeled at full scale (1:1) using actual
(not nominal) dimensions. Models should include all content necessary to meet the requirements in
the BIM PxP. Further content may be specified in the BIM LOD. General considerations for model
content requirements include the following:
Models should include all system components and connection points to utilities and/or
components, whether site or building related. These components should include all information
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 21
parameters and annotations required to produce accurate drawings, details, schedules, and
sheets.
All Furniture, Fixtures, & Equipment (FFE) should be properly identified by make, model
number, and building/department/room or space in which it resides.
Clearance zones required for code compliance, access (such as needed for equipment, hatches,
and panels), safety, maintenance, gauge reading, and other operations should be modeled.
Any required layer of the systems, for example, insulation, double layered systems, or
enclosures should be modeled.
3.6.4 Project Data
The Project BIM Team should develop Project Data for all elements that make up the model (e.g.
doors, air handlers, electrical panels, etc.). This Project Data should include all material definitions and
attributes that are necessary for the project planning, design, construction, and operations. All
elements should be assigned the proper classification and category. All life safety and fire protection
components and systems should be clearly identified as such. Minimum Project Data requirements
should be identified in the BIM PxP.
3.6.5 Level of Development (LOD)
The Owner should define the desired LOD for BIM content that enables the project’s specific
organizational and project goals. The Owner may elect to reference an LOD standard holistically for all
model content, or require a specific LOD per model or model element and by discipline, trade, and/or
phase. When implementing an LOD, the Owner can use the default LOD, a template LOD, or develop a
custom LOD. It should be understood that BIM cannot be successfully accomplished without some LOD
defined for each model deliverable, which is typically recorded in a spreadsheet or worksheet. In
general, the standard LOD definitions are defined in the BIMForum LOD Specification 2015, which is
available as part of NBIMS‐US™V3.17
Default LOD: If the Owner elects to reference an existing LOD without making modifications, use of the
USACE Minimum Modeling Matrix (M3) is recommended, as it defines a minimum LOD of elements for
a design model and a Record Model deliverable.
Template LOD: Several LOD templates are available to the Owner, but it is recommended that the
Owner use a nationally recognized form. The Owner may adapt the USACE M318, use the AIA G‐202 –
2013 document19, or implement the Penn State University Model Element Matrix20 or the PSU Project
Execution Planning Guide.21 Alternatively, the Owner may elect to use the worksheet provided with the
BIMForum LOD Specification 2015 Model Element Matrix.
Custom LOD: Owners may elect to develop his/her own LOD Matrices identifying LOD and model
element authors for models or model elements. Owners should adhere to the BIMForum LOD
Specification 2015 definitions to avoid confusion among the Project BIM Team members.
At a minimum, BIM content should be developed to an adequate level to support:
Establishment and communication of design intent
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 22
Necessary content for construction documents
Overall BIM requirements developed by the Owner
Optional BIM requirements from this Guide chosen by the Owner
Essential BIM Uses as identified in Section 4.2.2 of this document
Enhanced BIM Uses that the Owner selects from Section 4.2.3 of this document
Additional data and metadata necessary to achieve additional BIM Uses as documented in the
BIM PxP
In summary, diligence should be given during project planning to select appropriate BIM Uses and
develop a detailed BIM PxP, as these are the impetus for determining and assigning an adequate LOD.

4. EXECUTION
4.1 BIM Project Execution Plan (PxP)
BIM Project Execution Planning is “a process performed by a Project BIM Team to design the execution
strategy for implementing BIM on the project. The final product of the execution planning process is a
documented BIM Project Execution Plan (PxP).”22 To maximize the effectiveness of BIM, the execution
plan should be designed in the early stages of a project and focus on the decisions required to define
the scope of BIM implementation on the project, identify process impacts of using BIM, define the
team characteristics needed to achieve the modeling, and quantify the value proposition for the
appropriate level of modeling at the various stages in the project life cycle.
4.1.1 Development of the BIM PxP
The BIM PxP, created early in the project, should be considered a living document that evolves
throughout the project. The BIM PxP should be developed and refined by the Project BIM Team to
document the collaborative process of how BIM will be executed throughout the project life cycle.
The initial version of the BIM PxP should be developed by the Project BIM Manager, assisted by the
Owner and the Project BIM Team (as referenced in NBIMS‐US™ V3, Section 5.4), to detail the BIM
requirements for the project. It should be submitted for approval to the Owner.
The BIM PxP should be refined by the entire Project BIM Team as design progresses. If a contractor is
not procured for preconstruction services, the design team and Owner should develop the
collaborative BIM PxP and coordinate with the contractor when the contractor is procured.
The BIM PxP should be reviewed and coordinated with the entire Project BIM Team prior to
construction and submitted to the Owner for final approval. The BIM PxP should be reviewed with
specialty contractors prior to execution of their contracts. Any revisions to the BIM PxP should be
submitted to the Owner for final approval.
The Project BIM Team should use the PxP template in the NBIMS‐US™ V3, Section 5.4: BIM PxP
Content, which identifies the minimum BIM requirements to develop an acceptable BIM PxP. The PxP
should specify how different versions of the model will be stored and retrieved as the project
progresses.
Commentary:
The BIM PxP should be developed to provide a master information/data management plan and assignment of roles
and responsibilities for model creation and data integration at project initiation. The team members and Owner
should jointly agree on how, when, why, to what level, and for which project outcomes BIM will be used.
In those projects where construction information is available during the design phase, the BIM PxP would address
both design and construction activities. The BIM PxP should be considered a living document and should be
continually developed and refined throughout the project development life cycle.

4.2 BIM Uses
4.2.1 BIM Use Definition
A BIM Use is a method of applying Building Information Modeling during a facility's life cycle to achieve
one or more specific objectives. 23 The nature of BIM technology allows different Owners to use the
model in multiple ways, depending on their projects’ specific needs. As the project moves from phase
to phase, the information contained within the BIM grows in both quantity and specificity.
Figure 4. Minimum BIM Example
Commentary:
BIM Uses can be broadly categorized into authoring tools, auditing tools, and analytic tools. Some applications
are designed or written to address a single task. Other uses are written to perform multiple tasks and are often
referred to as “integrated software tools.” The BIM Uses listed below can be either single‐task applications or be
part of integrated software tools.
BIM Uses focused on single tasks should be interoperable with the other BIM Uses used on a project.
“Interoperability” is the ability of diverse systems and organizations to work together (inter‐operate).
Interoperability can be used in a technical systems engineering sense, or in a broader sense, including social,
political, and organizational factors that affect system‐to‐system performance.
Interoperable BIM Uses are software programs designed to use the inputs and outputs of other BIM
applications to perform the task and generate the output that the BIM Use being applied was designed to
perform. Interoperable software reduces the amount of time required to manually exchange information and
input it into single‐task software. It also minimizes the risk of data transfer errors often caused by manual
information exchange methods.
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 25
BIM Uses are characterized in this Guide as Essential BIM Uses, Enhanced BIM Uses, and Owner‐
Related Uses of BIM. The brief definitions below have been extracted and enhanced from the BIM
Project Execution Planning Guide and the BIM Planning Guide for Facility Owners. BIM Uses should be
considered and aligned with project goals, selected based on added value to the Owner, and clearly
documented in the BIM PxP. This guide uses the term “building” generically, in keeping with the
terminology of “Building Information Modeling.” It is intended to apply to information modeling for
the built environment: site elements and facilities as well as buildings.
4.2.2 Essential BIM Uses
The following BIM Uses should be applied on all projects:
Existing Conditions: A process in which the Project BIM Team develops a model (geometry and
information) of the existing conditions for a site, facilities on a site, or a specific area within a
facility. This model can be developed in multiple ways, depending on what is desired and what
is most efficient. Once the model is developed, it can be queried for information and can be
modified.
Design Authoring: A process in which software is used to develop a BIM of the design. Design
authoring tools are a first step toward implementing BIM, and the key is integrating the
geometric representation of elements in the model with element properties. Construction
drawings should be produced from and remain consistent with the models.
Design Review: A quality management process in which a model is used to allow stakeholders
to verify whether the design meets the OPR and to visualize criteria such as layout, sightlines,
lighting, security, ergonomics, acoustics, textures and colors, etc. Virtual mock‐up can be done
in high detail, even on a part of the building, such as the façade, to quickly analyze design
alternatives and solve design and constructability issues. If properly executed, these reviews
can resolve design issues.
Coordination: A process in which model elements can be organized and coordinated, and clash
detection software can be used to identify conflicts between model elements within the BIM.
Record Modeling: A process in which a model contains an accurate depiction of the physical
and functional conditions and environment of a facility and its assets at a point in time. With
the continuous updating and improvement of the Record Model and the capability to store
more information, the model contains a true depiction of space with a link to information, such
as serial codes, warranties, and maintenance history of all the components in the building.
Eventually, the Record Model also contains information linking pre‐build requirements to as‐
built conditions. This allows the Owner to monitor the project relative to the OPR.
4.2.3 Enhanced BIM Uses
Cost Estimating: A process in which a model can be used to generate an accurate quantity take‐
off and cost estimate early in the design process and provide cost effects of additions and
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 26
modifications, with the potential to save time and money and avoid budget overruns. This
process also allows designers to see the cost effects of design modifications in a timely
manner.24
Phase and 4D Planning: A process in which a four‐dimensional (4D) model (a model with the
added dimension of time) is used to effectively plan the phased occupancy in a renovation, or
to show the construction sequence and space requirements for laydown areas and temporary
construction on a building site. 4D modeling is a powerful visualization and communication
tool that can give a Project BIM Team a better understanding of project milestones and
construction plans. (See also Construction Systems Design).
Site Analysis – Development: A process in which BIM and GIS tools are used to evaluate
properties in a given area to determine the most optimal site location for a future project. The
site data collected is used to first select the site and then position the building based on the
OPR.
Site Utilization – For Construction: (See Phase and 4D Planning).
Digital Fabrication: A process that uses machine technology to prefabricate objects directly
from a model. The model is used as input into manufacturing and fabrication equipment for
production of components, systems, and assemblies.
3D Location and Layout: A process that utilizes a model to lay out the building assemblies and
produce lift drawings, which are the two‐dimensional (2D)/three‐dimensional (3D) component
drawings used by forepersons during site construction.
Engineering Analysis: The integrated and/or interoperable tools that allow the use of the
physical and material properties of project elements, assemblies, and systems within the model
for engineering analysis, simulation, and documentation. Examples include structural
engineering, energy analysis, daylighting, HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, life safety, and
electrical systems design and documentation.
Sustainability Analysis: The integrated and/or interoperable tools that allow the use of the
physical and material properties of building elements, assemblies, and systems within the
model for developing sustainable design elements. Examples include documenting sustainable
features and attributes and documenting sustainable features for compliance with building
rating systems.
Codes and Standards Compliance: A process in which validation software is used to check the
model parameters against applicable codes and standards. Code and standard validation is
currently in its infant stage of development within the United States and is not in widespread
use. However, as model checking tools continue to develop code and standard compliance
software with more codes and standards, validation should become more prevalent within the
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 27
design industry. Examples may include building code compliance, energy code compliance,
accessibility compliance, etc.
Construction Systems Design: A process to design and analyze the contemporary systems (e.g.
formwork, glazing, tie‐backs, etc.).
4.2.4 Owner‐Related BIM Uses
Asset Management: A process in which project data is linked to a Record Model to aid in the
maintenance and operation of a facility and its assets. These assets, consisting of the physical
building, systems, surrounding environment, and equipment, must be maintained, upgraded,
and operated at an efficiency that will satisfy both the Owner and users in the most cost‐
effective manner.
Disaster Planning and Management: A process in which emergency responders have access to
critical building information in the form of a model and information system. The BIM provides
critical building information to the responders to improve the efficiency of the response and
minimize the safety risks. The dynamic (real time) building information could be provided by
building automation systems (BAS), life safety (fire alarm and fire protection), and security
systems, while the static building information, such as geometry, floor plans, points of egress
and access, and equipment schematics, reside in a model. These systems are integrated and
made interoperable so that emergency responders can link to an overall system. The BIM—
coupled with the BAS, life safety, and security systems—clearly displays where the emergency
is located within the building, possible routes to the area, and any potentially hazardous
locations within the building.
Space Management: A process in which BIM is used to effectively distribute, manage, and track
appropriate spaces and related resources within a facility. A model allows the facility
management team to analyze the existing use of the space and effectively apply transition
planning management towards any applicable changes. Maintenance scheduling is a process in
which the functionality of the building structure (walls, floors, roof, etc.). and equipment
serving the building (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, etc.) are maintained over the operational
life of a facility.
4.3 Model Deliverables
The project execution plan should clearly define the deliverables that are to be transmitted to the
owner at the completion of construction. These deliverables may include a design intent model in
both native and open standard format; a construction model; and operations and maintenance data
(see Figure 3). The model content for each of these deliverables should be clearly defined within the
contract documents for each responsible party, as well as in the BIM PxP. The following sections
provide a description of each deliverable.
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 28
Design Intent Model: The Model(s) from the design team that captures the intended design. This
model is used for project BIM Use execution, digital design mock‐ups, decision support, and
coordination. The approved model is a contract document for submission to the Owner and for
construction handover.
Construction Model: The Model(s) based on criteria that relates the facility’s fabrication and
construction. These models are developed from the Design Intent Model during construction
coordination. The files are typically combined using a cross‐platform 3D model viewing software to
accommodate subcontractor file formats and a higher LOD. This new information is reviewed by the
design team for approval.
As‐Built Model: The Model(s) capturing conditions at the completion of construction. It should be
initially based upon the Design Intent Model and increasingly incorporates project information as
construction progresses.
Record Model: The Model(s) prepared for operations and maintenance. Typically the Design Intent
Model is used as a baseline and then is updated to incorporate all the changes during construction.
This is intended to be a “lightweight model” with enough detail to enable facilities management
operations without overly detailed elements. This model may also include laser scan data. The Record
Model will contain accurate attribute data on major equipment and systems for facilities management
documented in the BIM PxP. The Record Model typically is updated by the designer from information
provided by the contractor (e.g., digital mark‐ups, photography, and laser scans). It may be used
during commissioning or updated to reflect commissioning data.
Operations and Maintenance Data: This deliverable includes asset inventory with asset name,
classification, and location. Owners should consider operations and maintenance data deliverables to
include attributes such as make, model, and serial number of key components. Construction
Operations Building information exchange (COBie), is an example of facilities data exchange (as
referenced in NBIMS‐US™ V3, Section 4.2.)
The Project BIM Team should provide deliverables in compliance with the phases described in the BIM
PxP. At each phase, the Project BIM Team should provide a written report confirming that consistency
checks, as identified in the Quality Management section of the BIM PxP, have been completed. This
report should be discussed as part of the review process and should address any identified
interferences and constructability issues.
The Project BIM Team should provide the Owner with the following, as identified in the BIM PxP:
Updated BIM PxP
2‐D drawing deliverables printed directly from the model in PDF format. Documents are to be
stamped and signed in traditional practice to comply with the Owner Design and Construction
Standard and local permitting requests.
Construction Model(s) per discipline
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 29
A 3‐D interactive review format of the model in the latest version of software, as required in
the BIM PxP. The file format for reviews can change between submittals.
Construction Submittals. All construction submittals, requests for interpretation (RFIs), and
change order requests (CORs) should make use of the model for clear interpretations.
Record model(s)
A report generated from the model of all assets and attributes
A report verifying the model/modeling compliance with Owner Project Data exchange
requirements
A report verifying the accuracy of the delivered model elements and asset attributes
An interference (clash detection) check report
A list of all submitted files. The list should include a description, directory, and file name for
each file submitted. Identify files that have been produced from the submitted model and
Project Data.
The BIM PxP should define additional model deliverables for the project. Deliverable deadlines should
be aligned with project milestones, for example:
Schematic Design
Detailed Design
Construction Documents
Bid/Procure
Contract
Notice to Proceed
Construction
Substantial Completion
Commissioning
Final Inspection
Occupancy/Operations and Maintenance
10‐Month Warranty Review

Version 3: The digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. As such it
serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility, forming a reliable basis for
decisions during its life cycle from inception onwards.”
Construction Model: The model(s) based on criteria that relates the facility’s construction.
Construction Operations Building information exchange (COBie), as defined in the National BIM
Standard – United States® Version 3: The format for the exchange of information about building assets
such as equipment, products, materials, and spaces.
Data Security Protocol (DSP): A definition of the security requirements for data to be implemented for
the project and incorporated into the BIM PxP.
Design Intent Model: The model(s) from the design team that captures the intended design.

National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 31
Industry Foundation Class (IFC): The Industry Foundation Class (IFC) is a data standard (specification)
maintained by buildingSMART International and accepted as ISO Standard 16739. It is intended to
allow the exchange of building and construction industry data between software applications. It is a
platform neutral, open file format specification that is not controlled by a single vendor or group of
vendors.
Level of Development (LOD) (as defined the BimForum website, November 2015): The degree to which
the element’s geometry and attached information have been thought through—the degree to which
Project BIM Team members may rely on the information when using the model.
Model: See Building Information Model.
Model Element: A portion of the model(s) representing a major component, assembly, or construction
entity (part) which, in itself or in combination with other parts, fulfills a predominating function of a
construction entity.
Model Element Author (MEA): The party responsible for creating or updating any given model
element.
Model View Definition (MVD): An IFC View Definition, or Model View Definition, MVD, defines a
subset of the IFC schema that is needed to satisfy one or many exchange requirements of the building
industry. The method used and propagated by buildingSMART to define such Exchange Requirements
is the Information Delivery Manual, IDM (also ISO/DIS 29481). An IFC Model View Definition defines a
legal subset of the IFC Schema (being complete) and provides implementation guidance (or
implementation agreements) for the IFC concepts (classes, attributes, relationships, property sets,
quantity definitions, etc.) used within this subset.
OmniClass™: A classification system for the construction industry.
Owner: Person or entity that represents and controls financial interests of a property, building, or
development.
Owner’s Performance Requirements (OPR): The Owner's written documentation of the functional
requirements of the building and expectations of how it will be used and operated. They include
project and design goals, budgets, limitations, and schedules.
Docusign Envelope ID: 25B2252B-9538-48EC-ADB8-FB81E3B48250
National BIM Guide for Owners 01012017 32
Organizational Standards: Standards unique to every Owner and include the Owner's written policies,
procedures, and processes. The Owner is encouraged, when creating any Organizational Standards that will
be used as part of the contract language, PxPs, and OPRs, to document them in writing, especially when it
comes to expected outcomes and deliverables.
Primary Standards: Standards written typically by local, national, and international organizations and
industry groups by consent or consensus that establish minimum levels of performance and quality and are
used for comparative evaluation and verification of compliance. Primary Standards are often adopted by an
agency, organization, industry, or government body.
Project Data: Project data is the written and graphical information used to plan, design, construct and
operate the building. It should include Model files (BIM, CAD); drawing files (CAD, electronic sheets such as
PDFs, and/or plot files);electronic manuals; tabular/textual information derived from BIM (e.g.,
spreadsheets); and reference files necessary to supplement other project data.
Project Life Cycle: The full development of a building project from conception to demolition, including four
phases (Planning, Design, Construction, and Operations).
Project Quality Management: a subset of project management that includes the actions required to ensure
that the project will satisfy the needs for which it was undertaken. It consists of quality planning, quality
assurance, and quality control.
Project BIM Team: typical members include the Owner, architect, engineers, contractors, subcontractors,
and other stakeholders. The Project BIM Team members can vary by phase; stakeholders or participants
will be introduced to and leave the Project BIM Team as the project progresses through its life cycle.
Record Model: The model(s) prepared for Operations and Maintenance. Typically the Design Intent Model
is used as a baseline and then is updated to incorporate all the changes during construction. This is
intended to be a lightweight model with enough detail to enable facilities management operations without
overly detailed elements.
Reference Standards: Standards included by reference in Organizational Standards, Primary Standards, and
Contract Documents and carry the full force and effect of their requirements as if their entire text had been
replicated in full where referenced. Care should be taken when including Reference Standards in an
Organizational Standard, Primary Standard, or Contract Document to be specific whether compliance with
the entire Reference Standard is required or whether only compliance with certain portions of the
Reference Standard is required. Reference Standards not only reduce a primary document's size, but also
improve a primary document’s usefulness and effectiveness by relying on other standards‐development
organizations with better‐suited expertise on particular subjects.
