About this file
This is a Scope of Work document for the California State University (CSU) Trustees' Task Order-Construction Agreement for Multiple Projects-Master Enabling Agreement (TO-CA MEA), a three-year contract vehicle for construction services. The document establishes the framework for design, preconstruction, and construction services across multiple campus projects, with a total maximum budgeted cost not to exceed $2,400,000. Individual projects are capped at $400,000 in total budgeted cost. The Service Provider must be a California-licensed General Contractor with a C-11 license and employ a California-licensed architect. Services encompass both Design-Build and Construction Manager project delivery methods, with the Trustees determining the delivery approach for each specific task order. The Service Provider is responsible for assembling prequalified subcontractor teams through competitive bidding processes, preparing design and construction documents, conducting cost monitoring and value engineering, obtaining building permits, and managing the construction phase including site management and trade contractor coordination.
Compensation is structured as a percentage fee applied to direct construction costs, with specific percentages proposed during the RFP process for overhead and profit, site management fees, and bonding costs. The Service Provider must achieve a minimum of three percent DVBE (Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises) participation for each construction agreement, with penalties of $50,000 per one percent shortfall if incentive targets are not met. Prevailing wage rate requirements apply to all projects under California Department of Industrial Relations monitoring. The Trustees do not guarantee a minimum volume of task orders or construction agreements. Reimbursable expenses include pre-authorized travel, reproductions for plan reviews and bidding, and courier services when approved by the campus project administrator. Project savings identified during design are retained by the Trustees, and unused contingency funds are split 80% to the Trustees and 20% to the Service Provider. All design documents and technical data become property of the Trustees with reuse rights, though the Service Provider retains the right to reuse design aspects for other projects.

Agreement No. <Agreemt #> <Legal Name of Service Provider>
[Percentage Fee] Revised July, 2018
Rider B - Scope of Work (Percentage Fee)
1.0 Task Order-Construction Agreement for Multiple Projects—Master Enabling Agreement
1.1 General
The Task Order-Construction Agreement for Multiple Projects—Master Enabling Agreement (TO-CA MEA) uses both a Design-Build project delivery method, under which the Design-Builder contracts directly with the design professional, and/or as required, a Construction Manager project delivery method, under which the Trustees contract directly with the design professionals (AE). The University will specify in each Task Order whether the Project delivery method is Design-Build or Construction Manager.
1.2 Contract Documents by Delivery Method
The Contract General Conditions differ based on the delivery method; following are the two project delivery methods and the respective versions of the Contract General Conditions and Supplementary General Conditions.
A. Design-Build Projects:
1. Contract General Conditions for Collaborative Design-Build Major Projects
2. Supplementary General Conditions to Contract General Conditions for Collaborative Design-Build Major
Projects (for use with TO-CA MEA only)
3. If the University specifies in a Task Order that a Project’s delivery shall be Design-Build, delete and replace all references to “Service Provider”, or “Contractor” in all task orders and construction agreements with “Design-Builder”.
B. Construction Manager Projects:
1. Contract General Conditions for Construction Manager at Risk with Guaranteed Maximum Price Projects
2. Supplementary General Conditions to Contract General Conditions for Construction Manager at Risk with
Guaranteed Maximum Price Projects (for use with TO-CA MEA only)
3. For Construction Manager projects, the preconstruction and construction contract documents shall be further modified as follows:
a. The Architect and/or Design Consultants (AE) under contract to the Service Provider shall not be used for that project, except as specified in the Task Order. The Architect or specialty consultants under contract to the Trustees will be responsible for the design of the project, as specified in the Task Order.
b. Where specified in the Contract Documents for the Service Provider to:
(1) Collaborate and work with the Trustees on design, constructability, schedule, estimates, and incorporation of Trustees’ input, the Service Provider shall do so, collaborating with the Trustees and the Trustees’ AE.
(2) Manage the Services Provider’s team; it shall be understood that the CM shall manage the preconstruction and construction process and collaborate with the Trustees and the Trustees’ AE to deliver a successful project.
(3) Develop the design and construction documents; or perform the technical design of the Project, and correct design errors, i.e. elements shown and/or designed incorrectly; or shall be responsible for interpretation of design issues, it shall be understood that these responsibilities shall be performed by the AE under contract to the Trustees with collaboration by the Service Provider to provide all other specified functions.
(4) Revise the Service Provider and Contractor Warranty and Eligible Uses of Contingency in all places to a Construction Manager Warranty by eliminating the following provision and its associated responsibilities: “Design Errors, work elements or components shown and/or designed incorrectly” which shall become the responsibility of the Trustees and the Trustees’ AE.
c. If the University specifies in a Task Order that a Project’ delivery shall be Construction Manager, delete and replace all references to “Service Provider”, or “Contractor” or “Design-Builder” in all task orders and construction agreements and replace with “Construction Manager”.
All Task Order services not specifically identified herein will vary based on delivery method and shall remain the responsibility of the Service Provider and Contractor.

1.3 Post TO-CA MEA Award Requirements
After Trustees award the TO-CA MEA, and prior to bidding the first Project, the Service Provider shall assemble a team of subcontractors as follows:
A. The Service Provider shall advertise each Project, or type of projects the trades required for each Project, and the prequalification and bonding requirements for each trade.
B. Service Provider shall prequalify all potential subcontractors for all required trades based on a point system, and include the highest scoring subcontractors in the bidding pool for subsequent projects, as agreed upon by the Service Provider and Trustees. Minimum subcontractor prequalification criteria are contained in the Trustees’ trade prequalification documents at http://www.calstate.edu/cpdc/cm/task-order-construction-agreement-for-multiple-projects.shtml.
C. Service Provider may advertise and prequalify additional subcontractors and add them to the bidding pool as required for subsequent projects.
D. If Service Provider desires to self-perform any portion(s) of the work, it must competitively bid against the other selected subcontractor(s) during the project bid phase.
E. Once Service Provider lists trade contractors for a Project, the provisions of the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act contained in Public Contract Code sections 4100 et seq. would apply to any proposed substitution of trade contractors/subcontractors.
1.4 Task Order Documents
A. Task Order Proposal.
After meeting with the Trustees to further define Project Scope, the Service Provider shall submit a Task Order Proposal to the Trustees, which shall contain:
1. Service Provider’s proposed design phase fees, based on the RFP proposed rates.
2. Service Provider’s proposed preconstruction services fees, based on proposed rates.
3. Proposed milestone project schedule including preconstruction and construction phases.
4. Service Provider’s description of project scope if there is any variance from the Project Scope as presented by the Trustees in the aforementioned Project Scope meeting.
5. Proposed project budget updated to reflect proposed scope and the Service Provider’s opinion of cost.
6. Service Provider shall not receive added mark-up on its consulting AE fees.
If the Trustees find the Service Provider’s Task Order Proposal acceptable, a Task Order will be executed for design and preconstruction services for that project.
B. Task Order.
Service Provider will perform the design and preconstruction services as detailed by the Trustees in the Task Order. Service Provider shall:
1. Meet with Trustees to collaborate on design and to document project scope as the design develops.
2. Provide estimates as required during the design phase to update the budget and keep the Trustees informed about expected construction costs.
3. Meet with the Trustees to assure budget and schedule parameters are met.
4. Provide constructability input as required to conform to the TO-CA MEA requirements. Manage the Service
Provider team to assure that all appropriate input, including that from the Trustees, is incorporated into the Construction Documents.
5. Assess the site to assure that all necessary site surveys and investigations have been performed to mitigate potential unforeseen site conditions.
6. Perform pursuant to Contract warranty requirements.
a. For a Design-Build Task Order, the Construction Agreements will be Design-Build to the extent that change orders will be limited to unforeseen site conditions, Trustees or Regulatory Agency changes, or change in scope, as specified in the Contract General Conditions.
b. For a Construction Manager Task Order, the warranty requirement, “Design Errors, work elements or components shown and/or designed incorrectly”, will be removed from the warranty, and all costs related to design errors shall be the Trustees, as it is the AE’s responsibility.

7. Upon completion of the Construction Documents and regulatory plan checks, coordinate and obtain the building permit from the Trustees, and from other agencies as required.
1.5 Bidding Trades—Lump Sum Construction Proposal/Construction Agreement/Project Completion A. Bidding Trades—Lump Sum Price Construction Proposal
After the Trustees provide the Service Provider a Project approval to bid, the Service Provider will bid the Project to the previously prequalified pool of subcontractors and award to the lowest bidders, as agreed upon by the Trustees. Following the determination of low bid subcontractors, the Service Provider will submit a Lump Sum Price Construction Proposal, and if acceptable, the Trustees will issue a Construction Agreement for the work and proceed to construction. If the Design-Build Agreement is based on a GMP, a contract change order shall convert the contract to a lump sum. If the final trade bids result in a project savings the change order will adjust the GMP to that final Lump Sum amount. The Design-Builder / General Contractor shall be responsible for any GMP cost overruns. The Lump Sum Price or GMP Construction Proposal is based on the following, and these shall be detailed in the subsequent Construction Agreement:
1. Low bid lump sum prices for all trade contractor bids.
2. Service Provider Lump Sum Price site management fee based on proposed percentage and as proposed.
3. Service Provider’s proposed level of DVBE participation.
4. Service Provider Lump Sum Price OH&P based on the proposed percentage of Direct Construction Cost as proposed in the RFP.
5. Service Provider and/or Trustees’ Allowances as required, and as approved by the Trustees.
6. Contingency as specified in the Contingency Schedule, and as negotiated and approved by the Trustees.
7. Project specific, 100% payment and performance bonds based on percentage proposed.
In the event that the Trustees elect not to proceed with the Construction Agreement for the Project, the Service Provider will still earn preconstruction fees for that Project.
B. Construction Agreement The Service Provider shall sign the Project Construction Agreement and return it, along with the required insurance and bonds, to the Trustees within ten (10) calendar days of written intent to accept the Lump Sum Price or GMP Construction Proposal. No agreement shall be binding upon the Trustees until it has been executed by the Service Provider and the Trustees and approved by the Trustees’ attorney appointed according to law and authorized to represent the Trustees (Public Contract Code section 10820).
If the Trustees and the Service Provider do not agree upon a Lump Sum Price or GMP, the Trustees will not award the Project Construction Agreement to the Service Provider. In that event, the Trustees may award the construction phase through other means which could include going out to public bidding or may take other recourse which could include canceling the Project or a portion of it.
C. Project Completion.
When each Project is completed the Trustees will certify completion and file a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder.

The Trustees may authorize construction components prior to acceptance of the Lump Sum Construction Proposal for construction of the entire Project.
3.8 Scheduling
Service Provider shall develop the initial Project Schedule. Service Provider shall provide a Project Schedule during the Preconstruction Phase at each of the design milestones representing all tasks necessary to complete the Project within the Project durations as indicated in the Task Order. The Service Provider shall include the following in the schedule as appropriate: tasks by all parties, regulatory and Trustees’ approvals, Board of Trustees meeting dates (if required), sufficient periods of time for document review, campus activities affecting the Project, significant milestones, training, consultant selection, phasing, bidding, Notice to Proceed, construction duration and activities, occupancy milestone, commissioning, and an allowance for weather losses. The Service Provider shall update the schedule as necessary to reflect the current schedule and recent Project developments.
Service Provider shall monitor all regulatory approvals required during the design and construction phase. The Service Provider shall develop the construction portion of the Project Schedule in sufficient detail to be used in trade contractor bidding. This schedule shall be reviewed with the University at all project meetings and updated by Service Provider at each submittal.
3.9 Identify Potential Risk Factors
The Service Provider shall identify schedule or other Project risks, which are conditions or events that could negatively affect the Project scope, quality, schedule or cost. The Service Provider shall present the risk analysis in a risk matrix format when significant risks become apparent. Service Provider shall evaluate the risk to include severity of impact, probability of occurrence, and other factors as Service Provider deems appropriate and recommend ways to manage or mitigate each risk.
3.10 Schedule Risks Review
The Service Provider shall review the Proposed Project Schedule, and notify the Trustees of potential schedule risks in the risk matrix. If warranted, Service Provider shall recommend modifications to the schedule that would expedite the Project Schedule based on normal production rates.
3.11 CEQA Mitigation Monitoring
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Programs (MMRP), which are included in CEQA documentation if required in the RFP Appendices, provide a description of required mitigation measures associated with the Project(s). The Service Provider shall implement mitigation measures identified in the MMRP and/or in the Task Order. In addition, during the design phase of project(s), the Service Provider shall identify in the Project Schedule the specific timing related to the planning and implementing of these mitigation measures.
3.12 Constructability Review
The Service Provider shall check the construction documents for design errors, completeness, coordination, ambiguities, and ability to bid, and make recommendations to the Trustees’ Representative. Service Provider shall perform constructability reviews continuously and issue constructability reports and comments at: 100% Schematic; 100% Design Development; and 95% Construction Documents, or as documented in the Task Order.
Service Provider shall perform during the design and preconstruction services phases cognizant of the design-build warranty requirements in the Construction Agreement.
3.13 Cost Control Management
As an initial task, the Service Provider shall review the Budgeted Direct Construction Cost and determine if it is sufficient to construct the Project. The Service Provider shall prepare a cost estimate and evaluate the estimate
Page 8 of 13 pages against the construction budget and recommend, if necessary, the appropriate action to avoid potential cost overruns. The Service Provider shall establish target values for the cost of each Project element to be used as a basis of design and cost monitoring. The Service Provider shall monitor the budget as compared to the Project scope through the preconstruction phase. If changes are suggested to the Project scope that may cause Project cost overruns Service Provider shall notify the Trustees in writing as part of the regular Project development meetings.
If the estimate is above the Project budget, the Service Provider shall participate in value engineering to lower the Project cost to within the budget, and recommend the appropriate action to avoid potential cost overruns.
3.14 Construction Cost Estimates
A. Form and Timing
The Service Provider shall provide full and complete estimates of the total construction cost of the Project, and summarize cost information in a CPDC form 2-7 format, as detailed in the Task Order. These estimates may occur at:
1. 100% Schematic Design.
2. 100% Preliminary Design.
3. 50% and 95% Construction Documents.
B. Contents Each cost estimate shall:
1. Be in a format acceptable to the Trustees (Uniformat, CSI or similar) as detailed in the Task Order.
2. Reflect the best professional estimate of actual costs anticipated.
3. Establish internal estimating allowances, consistent with good professional practice, appropriate to the phase of development. Larger allowances are assumed held at early phases gradually diminishing to zero at completion of final cost estimate. Do not include a discrete line-item allowance for ‘contingency.’
4. Provide a line item adjustment for inflation to the bid date as appropriate to the project delivery schedule.
Trustees’ authorization for Service Provider to proceed with the next step in the design process is contingent on the acceptance of the building cost estimates as compared to the Trustees’ Construction Budget. Refer to the design “Procedure Manual for CSU Capital Projects” (RFP–Appendices) for a description of the design documents at each phase.
3.15 Project Savings
Project savings identified during design as part of the Service Provider value engineering process are owned by the Trustees. It is one of the collaborative responsibilities of the Service Provider to look for ways of reducing Project construction costs. Proposed cost reductions shall not reduce the Project program requirements, reduce quality of materials or craftsmanship, increase life-cycle costs, negatively affect the architectural aesthetics or design intent, or adversely affect the Project completion.
3.16 Design Phase Investigation Work
Service Provider shall access the type, quantity, and quality of the available information describing existing site conditions. If Service Provider requires additional information in order to develop complete Project scopes, the Service Provider shall make recommendations to the Trustees regarding supplemental site surveys. If the Trustees deem it necessary to investigate conditions at the Project site or have Project incidental construction work performed during the design phase of the Project, the Trustees will issue a limited scope Construction Agreement to the Service Provider, per the Contract General Conditions.
3.17 Develop Trade Contractor Bid Packages
The Service Provider shall determine the number and make-up of the trade contractor bid packages, produce the Bid Packages, and obtain Trustees’ review and approval of the proposed trade contractor bid documents and trade contractor agreements. Reference section 3.4 of this Rider B.
A. The Bid Packages shall incorporate the Service Provider’s subcontract agreement requirements, any Project specific requirements such as site access and phasing, and the relevant sections of the Trustees’ bidding requirements and Contract General Conditions requirements such as DVBE, Small Business, assignment clauses, the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act (PCC section 4100 et seq.), and Division One.
B. The Service Provider shall develop the most logical, competitive, seamless and distinct trade contractor bid packages with all scopes of work included in the packages. Include bid alternatives, as appropriate, (deductive
Page 9 of 13 pages or additive) in each trade contractor bid package to enable full utilization of the Project budget. Include the current Trustees’ Service Provider MEA Contract General Conditions in trade contractor bid packages. If required by the Task Order, the Service Provider shall develop Supplementary General Conditions (with the Trustees’ participation and subsequent approval) and include any special conditions in Division One, that address the trade contracts, schedule for trade contracts, and the responsibilities of all parties under the TO-CA MEA procurement method, where the Service Provider bids the Project elements and enters into contracts with the trade contractors. Include in the trade contractor bid packages that portion or subset of the initial Project Schedule that applies to that trade.
3.18 Contract General Conditions
For the Construction Agreement, the Trustees will require the Service Provider to use the current, appropriate version of the Contract General Conditions in effect at the time the Service Provider solicits trade bids, or in effect at the time the Construction Agreement is issued.
3.19 Prequalify Trade Contractors
The Service Provider shall prequalify its trade contractors (mechanical, electrical, plumbing and trades where the estimated cost of the trade work is greater than five percent (5%) of the Construction Budget) utilizing the CSU Trade Contractor Prequalification document (RFP-Appendices) or similar, and include any additional prequalification processes required by the Service Provider. Service Provider shall prequalify subcontractors using a point system for scoring the prequalification questionnaires, making the highest scoring subcontractors eligible to bid the subsequent TO-CA MEA projects. Once this process is completed, the Service Provider shall provide a list of prequalified trade contractors to the Trustees.
3.20 Minimum Bidding Pools
The Service Provider shall obtain a minimum of three qualified trade contractor bids for each trade bid package, and solicit bids from the all of the members of each trade bid pool for the projects under the TO-CA MEA. If after soliciting bids from the trade bid pool for a specific project, Service Provider receives less than three bids, the Trustees may agree to the bids, or require Service Provider to obtain additional bids. The Service Provider may solicit bids only from trade bid pools, and in a manner most appropriate to obtain competitive trade bids.
3.21 DVBE Participation and Prevailing Wage Requirement
The Trustees require the Service Provider to achieve a minimum of three percent (3%) DVBE participation for each individual Construction Agreement awarded under the TO-CA MEA. If Service Provider has elected to implement the DVBE incentive then Service Provider is required to achieve the incentive amount of DVBE participation in addition to the three percent required DVBE participation for each Construction Agreement awarded under the TO-CA MEA. Final determination of DVBE participation attainment by the Service Provider shall be at the Trustees’ sole discretion.
If the Service Provider meets or exceeds the proposed DVBE participation percentage amount for the entire TO-CA MEA at any time before the expiration of the initial Contract term, the Trustees may waive the DVBE participation requirement for subsequent Construction Agreements awarded. Service Provider shall continue to satisfy the DVBE participation requirement until the Trustees waive this requirement in writing.
If the Service Provider does not realize the DVBE participation percentage identified for the incentive in its technical proposal for each Construction Agreement awarded under the TO-CA MEA, the Trustees shall assess a penalty of $50,000 per one percent shortfall, prorated, and deduct it from the Contract Amount due.
The Service Provider shall include prevailing wage rates that are current when the Notice to Bidders is first distributed to the trade subcontractors for bidding each Project.

3.24 Bid Advertisement
When advertising to prequalify, assemble, and add to the TO-CA MEA bidding teams, the Service Provider shall issue a notice to bidders for the required trade bids, and in that notice provide that the Project is a public works Project, and as such is subject to prevailing rate wages in addition to Service Provider prequalification requirements. This notice may be placed electronically by the campus on the CSU CPDC website on the “PlanetBids CSU Public Solicitation Portal”.
However, if Service Provider wishes to place the advertisement for the trade bids using the “PlanetBids Subcontractor Solicitation Portal”, please contact Alan Zavian (by email: alan@planetbids.com or by telephone:
(818) 992-1771, ext. 112). Regardless of the PlanetBids platform used for advertising the trade bids, the trades will need to register on PlanetBids, and once registered, they will be able to search for projects bidding.
3.25 Receive bids
The Service Provider shall receive bids from trade contractors, or work with Trustees on best value selections, and review the bids and proposals with the Trustees towards identifying the lowest responsible bidder for each trade, including alternatives for that trade. Trade bids may be normalized, and Service Provider shall review and confirm scope of work with trade contractors before the Lump Sum is submitted to the Trustees. Service Provider shall invite the Trustees’ representative to the bid openings and to participate in bid normalization.
3.26 Submittal of Project Lump Sum Price or GMP
A. The project Budgeted Direct Construction Cost is provided in the Task Order project description. The Trustees may revise the project Budgeted Direct Construction Cost during the design phase. Upon bidding the Project and receiving all trade contractors’ bids, or prior to receiving all bids as approved by the Trustees, the Service Provider shall submit to the Trustees a Lump Sum or GMP Construction Proposal for the construction of the Project.
The Service Provider shall submit the Lump Sum or GMP based on the Design-Build or Construction Documents submitted to the Trustees during Design Development, and as indicated in the Schedule. The Service Provider shall include in its submittal:
1. a line item breakdown showing each subcontract amount;
2. the number of bidders to date for each trade and a bid breakdown summary sheet for each trade,
3. detailing bid amounts for all bidders and all normalization;
4. all allowances, which may include allowances for trades which have not yet been competitively bid;

7. the Service Provider’s site management fee;
8. the Service Provider’s contingency;
9. the Service Provider’s Overhead and Profit; and
10. the Service Provider’s bonding costs.
B. If the Agreement is based on a GMP, a contract change order shall convert the contract to a lump sum price. If the final trade bids result in a project savings the change order will adjust the GMP to that final http://psp.planetbids.com/g/81563/ http://psp.planetbids.com/g/22198/ http://psp.planetbids.com/g/22198/ mailto:alan@planetbids.com

Lump Sum price amount. The Design-Builder / General Contractor shall be responsible for any GMP cost overruns.
C. If the Trustees accept the Service Provider’s Lump Sum Price or GMP Construction Proposal, the Trustees shall award a Construction Agreement to the Service Provider to construct the Project for the aggregate of the direct cost of the work, plus the Service Provider’s fee for Construction Phase Services and Overhead and Profit, as proposed in the RFP phase. Payment and performance bonds shall be written for the full amount of the Lump Sum Price or GMP Construction Proposal. The Service Provider’s overhead and profit shall be the proposed percentage for overhead and profit applied to the Actual Direct Construction Cost.
3.27 Service Provider Allowances
For minor trades where the Service Provider may not have received a bid, when the Service Provider is self-performing work that was not competitively bid, or when bid normalization reveals necessary work that is not included in trade bids, the Service Provider may include allowances for the work per the Contract General Conditions. Allowances should not exceed 15% of the contract amount, except as necessary for scopes of work included in a GMP that will be bid during Phase 2 prior to conversion to Lump Sum, and shall be approved by the Trustees.
3.28 Trustees’ Allowances
The Trustees may insert a Trustees’ Allowance into the Lump Sum or GMP agreement, or may keep it outside of the Lump Sum, whenever they have a scope of work that is indeterminate at the time of bidding. An example of a Trustees’ Allowance would be for the Service Provider or the Trustees to purchase an unspecified quantity of an item. The Trustees are responsible for the estimate on a Trustees’ Allowance. If included in the Lump Sum agreement, the Service Provider shall return unused portions of the Trustees Allowance to the Trustees with a credit change order.
3.29 Allowance Process
The Service Provider shall carry both its allowances and Trustees’ allowances as directed by the Trustees, in its Schedule of Values as part of the Direct Construction Cost, and the Service Provider will apply its fees to them.
Allowances shall only be used for their identified specific and discrete purpose. Allowance balances may not be used to make up deficits on other line items. The Trustees shall authorize use of Allowances with a Field Instruction and/or change order. The charges against either allowance shall consist of either time-and-material or Trustees-approved lump sum direct costs from trade contractors. These cost items shall have direct costs and trade contractor mark-up in accordance with the Contract General Conditions; however, Service Provider will not be awarded additional fees on allowances. Upon completion of an allowance item, and if the allowance has not been fully expended, the Trustees shall process a credit change order for the unused balance of the allowance plus the Service Provider’s overhead and profit, site management fee, and Service Provider and subcontractors’ payment and performance bonds on the remaining balance. If a Trustees’ Allowance is exceeded the Trustees shall process a change order to the Construction Agreement in accordance with the Contract General Conditions to compensate the Service Provider for the overrun.
3.30 Service Provider’s Contingency
The Service Provider shall be allowed a Project contingency as negotiated with the Trustees based on Project size, type and complexity, and, as suggested in the contingency schedule below, the contingency may vary from the schedule below based on the risks inherent in the Project. The schedule does not dictate minimum contingencies. This contingency shall be used to pay costs as detailed herein. The use of the Service Provider’s contingency shall require approval by the Trustees, but no reasonable use shall be disallowed. When contingency use is approved, the Service Provider shall pay the trade contractors in accordance with the Contract General Conditions for the additional work, and the Service Provider shall receive proposed percentages for site management fee and payment and performance bonds, but shall not receive overhead and profit for the added work. The Service Provider shall itemize the use of the contingency and account for the contingency balance on a separate accounting accompanying the monthly payment request. Service Provider shall return to the Trustees the Trustees’ share of the unused portion of the contingency, plus proposed percentages for site management fee and payment and performance bonds. Contingency-eligible costs in excess of the contingency amount shall be borne by the Service Provider. Unused contingency shall be split: Trustees, 80%, Service Provider, 20%.
