distinguish what work shall or shall not be included in the work of a particular trade, the Contractor
shall make all necessary arrangements to reconcile such conflict without delay, damage, or cost to
the Owner and without recourse to the Architect or the Owner. In case progress of the Work is

2. By applying the applicable price or prices previously bid and approved.
(i) To the extent that Unit Prices are applicable, as determined by the
Owner, work shall be priced and paid for or credited in accordance
with such Unit Prices; except that a Unit Price shall not apply to any
portion of work which is either reduced or increased by more than
25%. Said Unit Prices shall be valid for the duration of the project as
applicable, unless stipulated elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
(ii) For Unit Price items, additions and deletion of like items shall be
algebraically summed and then multiplied by the applicable Unit
Prices. For Direct Labor and Material items, all additions and
deletions shall be algebraically summed for each subcontractor and
then multiplied by the applicable markup.
(iii) Unit Prices are for work complete, measured in place and cover profit
and all other costs and expenses. Unit Prices include, without limit,
all conditions of the contract and all general requirements such as
layout, reproduction of Drawings and Specifications, testing and
inspection, shop drawing and sample coordination, supervision (field

required by law paid to employees below the rank of superintendent
directly employed at the Site.
(ii) Materials
(iii) Equipment, excluding hand tools, which in the judgment of the

for as overhead / general conditions to the project. Special rental
equipment or tools not common to the project that are required to
perform the change order will be accepted as additional costs.
4. By determining the actual cost of the extra work in the same manner as in
Subsection 3 except the actual costs of the Contractor shall be used in lieu
of estimated costs.
E. Mark-up Percentages
1. Work performed by the Contractor: Where the Work is performed directly
by the Contractor by adding to the total of such estimated costs a sum equal
to fifteen percent (15%) thereof.
2. Work performed by a Subcontractor: Where the change order work is
performed by a Subcontractor under contract with the Contractor, by adding
a sum equal to fifteen (15%) of said costs for the benefit of said
Subcontractor, and by adding for the benefit of the Contractor an additional
sum equal to ten percent (10%) of said costs.
3. Work performed by a Sub-Subcontractor: Where work is performed by a
Sub-Subcontractor, by adding the sum equal to fifteen percent (15%) of said
costs for the benefit of said Sub-Subcontractor, by adding for the benefit of
the Subcontractor an additional sum equal to five percent (5%) of said cost
and by adding for the benefit of the Contractor an additional sum equal to
five percent (5%) of said cost. The maximum aggregate of all mark-up
percentages may not exceed twenty five percent (25%).
4. No Markup on Bonds and Insurance Costs: Change Order cost adjustments
due to increases or decreases in bond or insurance costs (if applicable) shall
not be subject to any Markup Percentage.

overhead expense of any kind; project management; superintendents,
general foremen; estimating, engineering; coordinating; expediting;
purchasing; detailing; legal, accounting, data processing or other
administrative expenses; reproduction of drawings and specifications; shop
drawings and sample coordination; “as-built” drawings; permits; auto
insurance and umbrella insurance; pick-up truck costs; parking permits;
cellular phones; testing and inspection; temporary facilities; access and
safety provisions; and warranty expense costs. The cost for the use of small
tools and/or tools already in use on site are also to be considered covered by
the Markup Percentage. Small tools shall be defined as tools and equipment
(power or non-power) with an individual purchase cost of less than $750
7. Deduct Change Orders and Net Deduct Changes: The application of the
markup percentage will apply to both additive and deductive change orders.
In the case of a deductive change order, the credit will be computed by
applying the percentage so that a deductive change order would be computed
in the same manner as an additive change order. In those instances where a
change involves both additive and deductive work, the additions and
deductions will be netted and the markup percentage adjustments will be
applied to the net amount
F. Regardless of the method used by the Owner in determining the value of a change
order, the Contractor, within thirty (30) calendar days after a request for the estimate of value shall
submit to the Owner a detailed breakdown of the Contractor's estimate, including all subcontractors
details, of the value of the Change Order Work, in the format detailed in Exhibit
A. Each submission shall include an electronic .pdf format of all documentation.
G. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in a change order, the compensation
specified therein includes a full payment for both the Work covered by the order and for any
damage or expense incurred by the Contractor by any delays, including any delays to other Work
to be done under the Contract resulting from said change order. The Contractor waives all rights
to any other compensation for said damage or expense.

relating thereto.

21 Rev 12.2018
Section 10.08 - Owner's and Contractor's Responsibilities for Fire and Extended Coverage
Insurance Hazards
A. The Contractor shall purchase and maintain in force a builders risk insurance
policy on the entire work. Such insurance shall be written on a completed value form and in an
amount equal to the initial contract sum and modified by any subsequent modifications to the
contract sum. The insurance shall name Cornell University and the State of New York, all
subcontractors and sub- subcontractors. The insurance policy shall contain a provision that the
insurance will not be cancelled or allowed to expire until the Contractor has given at least thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Cornell University. The insurance shall cover the entire work at
the site, including reasonable compensation for Architect’s services and expenses made necessary
by an insured loss. Insured property shall include portions of the work located away from the site
and in transit to the site. The policy shall cover the cost of removing debris and demolition as may
be legally necessary. The policy shall cover any boiler or machinery loss which may be suffered
during installation and until final acceptance. The insurance required shall be written to cover “all
risk” of physical loss including a loss due to collapse. Any deductible shall be the responsibility
of the Contractor but in no case shall the deductible be more than $10,000 unless Cornell University
has agreed to a higher deductible. The Contractor shall provide to Cornell University a certificate
of insurance and a summary of coverage’s including all endorsements and exclusions prior to
commencement of the work. Once the policy is received, the Contractor shall provide a copy of
such policy to Cornell University. There shall be a mutual waiver of recovery between Cornell
University, the Contractor and all other parties to the extent such losses are covered by the builders
risk policy. If Cornell University wishes to occupy the building prior to final acceptance and if the
policy contains a provision which limits coverage for such partial occupancy, the parties agree work
together to obtain consent of the insurance company for such partial occupancy or use under
mutually acceptable terms.
B. Losses, if any, under such insurance shall be payable to the Owner.
C. The Contractor shall be responsible for any and all loss of materials connected with
the construction due to unexplainable disappearance, theft or misappropriation of any kind or
nature.
D. The foregoing provisions shall not operate to relieve the Contractor and
subcontractors of responsibility for any loss or damage to their own or rented property or property
of their employees, of whatever kind or nature, or on account of labor performed under the Contract
incidental to the repair, replacement, salvage, or restoration of such items, including but not limited
to tools, equipment, forms, scaffolding, and temporary structures, including their contents,
regardless of ownership of such contents, except for such contents as are to be included in and
remain a part of the permanent construction. The Owner shall in no event be liable for any loss or
damage to any of the aforementioned items, or any other property of the Contractor, subcontractors
and the Architect, or employees, agents, or servants of same, which is not to be included in and
remain a part of the permanent construction. The Contractor and subcontractors severally waive
any rights of recovery they may have against the Owner and the Architect for damage or destruction
of their own or rented property, or property of their employees of whatever kind or nature.
22 Rev 12.2018
Section 10.09 - Effect of Procurement of Insurance
A. Neither the procurement nor the maintenance of any type of insurance by the
Owner or the Contractor shall in any way be construed or be deemed to limit, discharge, waive or
release the Contractor from any of the obligations and risks imposed upon the Contractor by the
Contract or to be a limitation on the nature or extent of such obligations and risks.
Section 10.10 - No Third Party Rights
A. Nothing in the Contract shall create or give to third parties; any claim or right of

and furnishings, the Owner shall have the right to do so, and the Contractor shall in no way interfere
with or object to said Beneficial Occupancy by the Owner.
B. Said Beneficial Occupancy (1) shall not constitute acceptance of space, systems,

of this Contract and the fulfillment of all the Contractor's obligations. The Contract Price means
all costs reimbursable under the Contract Documents.
23 Rev 12.2018
B. The final certificate of the Architect shall certify that the Contract has been
completed within the stipulated time, and shall not be issued until all drawings and specifications

thereon shall not lessen the total responsibility of the Contractor to complete the work to the
satisfaction of the Owner in accordance with the Contract.
C. Payments on the Contract Price shall be made each month as the work progresses
in accord with the following procedure:
1. The Contractor's schedule of values, including quantities, aggregating the
total Contract Price, divided so as to facilitate payments to subcontractors as
specified herein, shall be the basis for monthly progress payments. This schedule,
as shown in the E-Builder Schedule of Values Process, when approved by the
Owner shall be used as a basis for progress payments. In applying for payments,
the Contractor shall submit a statement based upon this approved schedule.
2. (a) On a date agreed upon by the Owner, Architect, and Contractor, a
meeting shall be held by the Owner to review the work completed and
materials on hand. This meeting shall review each item to be submitted
by the Contractor in the requisition for payment.
(b) On the first day of each month, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the
Contractor shall submit via the E-Builder Payment Application Process, a
statement and all applicable documentation setting forth in detail the cost
of the work done and materials delivered to the job site up to and including
the last day of the previous month and shall make application for payment
of ninety percent (90%) of the amount of said statement, less the aggregate
of all previous payments made by the Owner against the Contract Price.
(c) Each statement and application shall be accompanied by an affidavit,

correct, and that all bills for labor, and materials incorporated in or
delivered to the job, due and payable at the time of the preceding progress
payment, have been paid. The Contractor shall attach a single .pdf file of

approval of the Architect. If the Architect finds that the affidavit and application
for payment are acceptable and that all the above requirements in connection
therewith have been complied with, the Architect shall, within seven (7) calendar
days after receiving such application for payment, certify to the Owner that the
payment applied for is due and payable to the Contractor.
24 Rev 12.2018
4. The issuance of a Certificate for Payment constitutes a representation by
the Architect to the Owner, based on the date of the Application for Payment, that
the work has progressed to the point indicated, that, to the best of their knowledge,
information, and belief, the quality of the work is in accordance with the Contract
Documents and that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified.
The Owner shall make payment in the manner provided in the Agreement
within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the approved Certificate in E-Builder.
Approval of the Payment Application by the Architect shall not be deemed
to represent that the Architect has made exhaustive or continuous on-site
inspections to check the quality or quantity of the work or that the Architect has
reviewed the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or proceedings
or that the Architect has made any examination to ascertain how or for what
purpose the Contractor has used the monies previously paid on account of the
Contract Sum.
Section 12.02 – Stored Materials & Equipment
A. The Contractor may submit, no more than thirty (30) calendar days after contract
approval and prior to the first application for payment, a written request to Cornell University for
permission to invoice for critical materials and equipment ready, but not yet incorporated into the
work. For the purpose of this paragraph, "critical materials and equipment" eligible for payment
are defined as those items affecting project schedule or budget as determined by Cornell
University's evaluation of the project schedule. This includes finished goods normally shipped to
the job site in a condition ready for incorporation into the work that require significant time for
delivery. Raw materials or work-in-process at a manufacturer's plant location shall not be eligible
for such consideration unless the Contractor can demonstrate that Cornell University can save
money by purchasing material in bulk quantities at the beginning of the project.
B. Cornell University will be under no obligation to accept such requests.
C. Payment authorized by Cornell University for such "long-lead" critical materials
and equipment not yet incorporated in the work will be made provided the Contractor submits
Exhibit H and complies with the following:
1. Items shall be listed in the “Total Materials Presently Stored” column on
the Application for Payment.
2. Transfer of Title shall be executed and included in the Application for
Payment.

such inventory, including Contractor's certification that all quantities have
been received in good condition at the job site or other location acceptable
to Cornell University shall be submitted with the Application for Payment.
6. A copy of the vendor's invoice is included with the Contractor's invoice.
Packing lists will not be accepted.
D. Cornell University retains the right to verify storage by physical inspection prior
to payment approval and at any time thereafter. Such payment shall not relieve the Contractor of
the responsibility for protecting, safeguarding, and properly installing the equipment or materials.
The Warranty and Guarantee period shall not commence until installation and final acceptance of
the completed work by Cornell University. The Contractor shall bear the cost of transporting
materials stored off-site to the site
E. Each subsequent invoice will restate the prior months' materials and equipment
not incorporated in the Work and current month additions and deletions for materials and
equipment incorporated into the Work.
F. Upon the making of partial payment by Cornell University, all work, materials,
and equipment covered thereby shall become the sole property of Cornell University. Partial
payments, however, shall not constitute acceptance of the Contractor's work by Cornell University,
nor be construed as a waiver of any right or claim by Cornell University.
Section 12.03 – Retention
A. Retention in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the value of the work done and
materials furnished and installed under this Agreement shall be retained by the Owner as part
security for the faithful performance of the Contractor’s work within the time specified, and shall
be paid as indicated in Section 12.06.

2. To assure payment of just claims of any persons supplying labor or
materials for the work and to discharge any lien filed against the Owner's
property.
3. A reasonable doubt that the Contract can be completed for the balance of
the Contract Price then unpaid.

be completed or corrected. This list, prepared by the Contractor, shall constitute a complete detailed
list of defects and deficiencies which, when remedied, will complete all Contract requirements.
The submittal shall be accompanied by a statement to that effect.
B. The failure to include any items on such list does not alter the responsibility of the
Contractor to complete all work in accordance with the Contract Documents. When the Architect,
on the basis of an inspection, determines that the work is substantially complete, the Architect will
then prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion.
C. Upon receipt of written notice that the work is ready for final inspection and
acceptance, the Architect will promptly make such inspection and, when the Architect finds the

1.3 CONTRACT MILESTONES
A.The overall schedule for this project is consistent with a nine-month duration. The schedule
is linear because of the two-week sequence of work areas in each building. The critical path
follows this sequence. It is essential to maintain the two-week sequence for the purpose of
advance scheduled testing.
B.One of the initial work sequences will be the installation of the new exterior stair and
reconfiguration of the building access at the Bard Hall loading dock location. Overall duration
for this work is three months. Installation of a new sanitary line will concurrent work.
C.Much of the project entails the installation of fire protection, select fire alarm device
replacement and HVAC controls. Only a limited number of labs can be out of service and
only for a short duration. The overall schedule is based on sectioning each floor of Bard Hall
into thirds and performing the work in that area in a two-week period progressing from the
south to north to correspond with the fire protection system.
D.The two-week sequencing will require testing of the fire protection system for each section
prior to installation of new ceilings and progression to the next area.
E.Work in Bard Hall will begin on the 4th floor and proceed downward. The work on the Lobby,
Lecture Hall 140 and new egress doorway should be planned to happen over winter recess.
F.Installation of fire protection at the basement level in Kimball Hall is planned to happen over
winter recess.
G.Fire protection systems will be installed on each floor in Thurston Hall and planned to be
concurrent with Bard Hall work. Each floor will be divided in half with a two-week turnover
structure similar to Bard Hall.
