About this file

This document is AIA Document A104 - 2017 Exhibit A, a contract determination of cost document for the Royal Oak Farmers Market Restrooms project, involving the City of Royal Oak, Michigan, Krieger Klatt Architects, and an unnamed contractor. The exhibit specifically details the methodologies and guidelines for calculating reimbursable costs associated with the construction project, which will be located at the southwest corner of the Farmers Market site. The document outlines comprehensive rules for determining allowable expenses, including labor costs, subcontract costs, material and equipment expenses, miscellaneous costs, and specific accounting and record-keeping requirements.

The exhibit provides an extensive framework for cost management, specifying that reimbursable costs must be necessarily incurred in the proper performance of work, with many expenses requiring prior written approval from the Owner (City of Royal Oak). The document establishes strict guidelines about what constitutes allowable costs, including direct labor expenses, subcontractor payments, material and equipment costs, and certain administrative expenses. It also includes provisions for handling discounts, rebates, and refunds, and establishes that the Contractor must maintain detailed financial records for three years after final payment, with the Owner retaining audit rights to review these records during regular business hours.

§ A.4.3 Subcontracts or other agreements shall conform to the applicable payment provisions of this Agreement, and shall not be awarded on the basis of cost plus a fee without the Owner’s prior written approval.

ARTICLE A.5 ACCOUNTING RECORDS

§ A.5.1 The Contractor shall keep full and detailed records and accounts related to the Cost of the Work and exercise such controls as may be necessary for proper financial management under this Contract and to substantiate all costs incurred. The accounting and control systems shall be satisfactory to the Owner. The Owner and the Owner’s auditors shall, during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice, be afforded access to, and shall be permitted to audit and copy, the Contractor’s records and accounts, including complete documentation supporting accounting entries, books, job cost reports, correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts, subcontracts, Subcontractor’s proposals, Subcontractor’s invoices, purchase orders, vouchers, memoranda, and other data relating to this Contract. The Contractor shall preserve these records, for a period of three years after final payment, or for such longer period as may be required by law.

§ A.5.2 When the Contractor believes that all the Work required by the Agreement has been fully performed, the Contractor shall deliver to the Owner’s auditors a final accounting of the Cost of the Work.

§ A.5.3 The Owner’s auditors will review and report in writing on the Contractor’s final accounting within 30 days after delivery of the final accounting to the Architect by the Contractor. Based upon such Cost of the Work as the Owner’s auditors report to be substantiated by the Contractor’s final accounting, and provided the other conditions of Section

4.2.1 of the Agreement have been met, the Architect will, within seven days after receipt of the written report of the Owner’s auditors, either issue to the Owner a final Certificate for Payment with a copy to the Contractor, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of the Architect’s reasons for withholding a certificate as provided in Section 15.4.3 of the Agreement. The Architect is not responsible for verifying the accuracy of the Contractor’s final accounting.

§ A.5.4 If the Owner’s auditors’ report concludes that the Cost of the Work as substantiated by the Contractor’s final accounting is less than claimed by the Contractor, the Contractor shall be entitled to request mediation of the dispute without a further decision of the Architect. A request for mediation shall be made by the Contractor within 30 days after the Contractor’s receipt of a copy of the Architect’s final Certificate for Payment. If the Contractor fails to request mediation within this 30-day period, the substantiated amount reported by the Owner’s auditors shall become binding on the Contractor. Pending a final resolution of the disputed amount, the Owner shall pay the Contractor the amount, if any, determined by the Owner’s auditors to be due the Contractor.

§ A.5.5 If, subsequent to final payment and at the Owner’s request, the Contractor incurs costs in connection with the correction of defective or non-conforming work as described in Article A.1, Costs to be Reimbursed, and not excluded by Article A.2, Costs Not to be Reimbursed, the Owner shall reimburse the Contractor such costs and the Contractor’s Fee applicable thereto on the same basis as if such costs had been incurred prior to final payment, but not in excess of the Guaranteed Maximum Price, if any. If the Contractor has participated in savings, the amount of such savings shall be recalculated and appropriate credit given to the Owner in determining the net amount to be paid by the Owner to the Contractor.
