<br />Progressive Design Build General Conditions
<br />
<br />.3 Federal insurances: Direct contributions required by the Federal Insurance
<br />Compensation Act (FICA); Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA); and
<br />State Unemployment Compensation Act (SUCA).
<br />9.4.1.2 Direct material costs: This is an itemization, including material invoice, of the
<br />quantity and cost of additional materials reasonable and necessary to perform the
<br />Change in the Work. The unit cost shall be based upon the net cost after all discounts or
<br />rebates, freight costs, express charges, or special delivery costs, when applicable. No
<br />lump sum costs will be allowed except when approved by the Owner. Discounts and
<br />rebates based on prompt payment need not be included, however, if the Design-Builder
<br />offered but the Owner declined the opportunity to take advantage of such discount or
<br />rebate.
<br />9.4.1.3 Construction equipment usage costs: This is an itemization of the actual
<br />length of time that construction equipment necessary and appropriate for the Work is
<br />used solely on the change at the site times the applicable rental cost as established in
<br />Exhibit E and if not established therein, then by the lower of the local prevailing rate
<br />published in The Rental Rate Blue Book by EquipmentWatch, Atlanta, Georgia, as
<br />modified by the latest edition of the AGC/WSDOT agreement, or the actual rate paid to
<br />an unrelated third party as evidenced by rental receipts. Actual, reasonable mobilization
<br />costs are permitted if the equipment is brought to the site solely for the change in the
<br />Work. Mobilization and standby costs shall not be charged for equipment already
<br />present on the site. If more than one rate is applicable, the lowest rate will be utilized.
<br />The rates in effect at the time of the performance of the change are the maximum rates
<br />allowable for equipment of modern design and in good working condition and include full
<br />compensation for providing all oil, lubrication, repairs, maintenance, and insurance. No
<br />gas surcharges shall be charged to Owner unless charged to Design-Builder by the
<br />vendor. Equipment not of modern design and/or not in good working condition will have
<br />lower rates. Hourly, weekly, and/or monthly rates, as appropriate, will be applied to yield
<br />the lowest total cost. The rate for equipment necessarily standing by for future use (and
<br />standing by for longer than one (1) week) on the changed Work shall be fifty percent
<br />(50%) of the rate established above. The total cost of rental allowed shall not exceed the
<br />cost of purchasing the equipment outright. If equipment is required for which a rental rate
<br />is not established by The Rental Rate Blue Book, an agreed rental rate shall be
<br />established for the equipment, which rate and use must be approved by the Owner prior
<br />to performing the Work.
<br />9.4.1.4 Costs of Lower-Tier Subcontractors: These are payments a Subcontractor
<br />makes to lower-tier Subcontractors for changed Work performed by such lower-tier
<br />Subcontractors. Such Subcontractors’ cost of changed Work shall be determined in the
<br />same manner as prescribed in this Section.
<br />9.4.1.5 Subcontractor’s Fee: This is the percentage amount for all combined overhead,
<br />profit and other costs, including all office, home office and site overhead (including project
<br />manager, project engineer, other engineers (except design engineers), estimator, and
<br />their vehicles and clerical assistants), taxes (except for sales tax), employee per diem,
<br />subsistence and travel costs, warranty, safety costs, printing and copying, layout and
<br />control, quality control/assurance, purchasing, small or hand tool (a tool that costs $500
<br />or less and is normally provided by the performing contractor) or expendable charges,
<br />preparation of as-built drawings, impact on unchanged Work, Claim and Change
<br />preparation, and delay and impact costs of any kind (cumulative, ripple, or otherwise),
<br />added to the total cost to the Owner of any Change Order, Construction Change
<br />Directive, Claim or any other claim of any kind on this Project. No Fee shall be due,
<br />however, for direct settlements of Subcontractor claims by the Owner after Substantial
<br />Completion. The Fee shall be limited in all cases to the following schedule:
