I . Contractor agrees that a contingency allowance, <br />if any, is for the sole use of Owner to cover <br />unanticipated costs. <br />D. Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order <br />will be issued as recommended by Engineer to reflect <br />actual amounts due Contractor on account of Work <br />covered by allowances, and the Contract Price shall be <br />correspondingly adjusted. <br />11.03 Unit Price Work <br />A. Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part <br />of the Work is to be Unit Price Work, initially the <br />Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price <br />Work an amount equal to the sum of the unit price for <br />each separately identified item of Unit Price Work times <br />the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the <br />Agreement. <br />B. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work <br />are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of <br />comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract <br />Price. Determinations of the actual quantities and <br />classifications of Unit Price Work performed by <br />Contractor will be made by Engineer subject to the <br />provisions of Paragraph 9.07. <br />C. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount <br />considered by Contractor to be adequate to cover <br />Contractor's overhead and profit for each separately <br />identified item. <br />D. Owner or Contractor may make a Claim for an <br />adjustment in the Contract Price in accordance with <br />Paragraph 10.05 if: <br />1. the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work <br />performed by Contractor differs materially and <br />significantly from the estimated quantity of such item <br />indicated in the Agreement; and <br />2. there is no corresponding adjustment with <br />respect any other item of Work; and <br />3. Contractor believes that Contractor is entitled to <br />an increase in Contract Price as a result of having <br />incurred additional expense or Owner believes that <br />Owner is entitled to a decrease in Contract Price and <br />the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of any <br />such increase or decrease. <br />ARTICLE 12 - CHANGE OF CONTRACT PRICE; <br />CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIMES <br />12.01 Change of Contract Price <br />A. The Contract Price may only be changed by a Change <br />Order. Any Claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price <br />shall be based on written notice submitted by the party <br />making the Claim to the Engineer and the other party to <br />the Contract in accordance with the provisions of <br />Paragraph 10.05. <br />B. The value of any Work covered by a Change Order or <br />of any Claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price will <br />be determined as follows: <br />1. where the Work involved is covered by unit <br />prices contained in the Contract Documents, by <br />application of such unit prices to the quantities of the <br />items involved (subject to the provisions of <br />Paragraph 11.03); or <br />2. where the Work involved is not covered by unit <br />prices contained in. the Contract Documents, by a <br />mutually agreed lump sum (which may include an <br />allowance for overhead and profit not necessarily in <br />accordance with Paragraph 12.0I.C.2); or <br />3. where the Work involved is not covered by unit <br />prices contained in the Contract Documents and <br />agreement to a lump sum is not reached under <br />Paragraph 12.01.13.2, on the basis of the Cost of the <br />Work (determined as provided in Paragraph 11.01) <br />plus a Contractor's fee for overhead and profit (deter- <br />mined as provided in Paragraph 12.01.C). <br />C. Contractor's Fee: The Contractor's fee for overhead <br />and profit shall be determined as follows: <br />I . a mutually acceptable fixed fee; or <br />2. if a fixed fee is not agreed upon, then a fee based <br />on the following percentages of the various portions <br />of the Cost of the Work: <br />a. for costs incurred under Paragraphs 11.0 LA. I <br />and 11.0I.A.2, the Contractor's fee shall be 15 <br />percent; <br />b. for costs incurred under Paragraph I 1.01.A.3, <br />the Contractor's fee shall be five percent; <br />c. where one or more tiers of subcontracts are on <br />the basis of Cost of the Work plus a. fee and no <br />fixed fee is agreed upon, the intent of Paragraph <br />12.0l.C.2.a is that the Subcontractor who <br />actually performs the Work, at whatever tier, will <br />be paid a fee of 15 percent of the costs incurred <br />by such Subcontractor under Paragraphs <br />11.01.A. I and 11.01.A.2 and that any higher tier <br />EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract. <br />Copyright © 2002 National Society of Professional Engineers for EJCDC.
