1. Bid Schedules.

a. The preliminary construction schedule narrative included in the Contract Documents represents the general order and time frames for work to be followed by the Construction Manager in coordinating the project. The Subcontractors are to assume that their work will be coordinated in a manner consistent with industry practice, and the efficient coordination of all other trades.

c. All Subcontractors recognize and shall accept modifications to the schedule which are reasonable, in the opinion of the Construction Manager, for the general interest of the project as a result of allowable time extensions (formally or informally approved) in any contract, and such modifications are inherent to the construction process and shall not qualify as a basis for extra compensation from the Construction Manager or Owner.

d. The Subcontractor, in submitting a proposal for the work of a particular work category, agrees to commit the necessary resources to complete the work activities of that work category, within a time span not greater than the planned duration. Work included within a work category, but not specifically defined by a particular work activity, is to be accomplished in a reasonable manner in conjunction with other work of the work category, and in such a way as to avoid complication of or to delay the work of other Subcontractors.

e. The Subcontractor shall allow for multiple mobilizations, at no additional cost, as required to maintain construction progress and as directed by AVB.

Subcontractor acknowledges that it has had a full opportunity to review and assess the applicable prevailing wage schedule.

(b) Subcontractor agrees that the wages and fringe benefits to be paid each class of construction mechanics engaged or hired by Subcontractor or its agents or contractors shall not be less than the wages and fringe benefit rates prevailing in the locality where the work is performed, consistent with Public Act 10 of 2023 and any proposed or final implementing rules or regulations. In case of omission of any trade or classification from the prevailing wage schedule, it shall be understood that the trade or classification omitted shall also not be paid less than the wages and fringe benefit rates prevailing in the locality where the work is performed.

(c) Subcontractor warrants and represents that it will classify its construction mechanics based on the work performed consistent with the applicable prevailing wage schedule. Subcontractor further agrees that it will share its classifications with CM and that CM reserves the right to direct subcontract on the appropriate prevailing wage rate classification to use.

Such records shall be maintained on a weekly basis and made available for reasonable inspection by CM, Owner, or an applicable governmental agency. Subcontractor shall maintain these records for at least six years after this Agreement ends.

(h) Subcontractor agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CM, Owner and their directors, officers, employees, agents and any related entities to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any demand, claim, action, suit, injury, damage, penalty, fine, payment, cost, expense or liability, administrative proceeding, including actual attorney fees, regardless of legal theory, for any claims or disputes related to an alleged failure to comply with prevailing wage obligations under this Agreement, Public Act 10 of 2023, or any related proposed or final legal rule, regulation, or guidance issued by the State of Michigan.

Subcontractor’s duties under this provision shall be consistent with those under Article 33.

(i) In addition to and without limitation on its other rights under this Agreement, CM may terminate

Subcontractor’s right to proceed with all or part of this Agreement, if CM determines or believes that less than full prevailing rates of wages and fringe benefits have not been paid or will not be paid to construction mechanics, and CM may proceed to complete work covered by this Agreement by separate agreement with another contractor or otherwise, in which case Subcontractor and its sureties shall be liable to CM for any and all damages, expenses, liabilities, and costs, including but not limited to any excess costs occasioned by the termination and change.
