Residential Construction Contract Cost Plus

The following comments are intended to provide background information about some of the Document
provisions. The comments do not modify the language of the Document:

1. Relationship between the Parties: The Document contemplates that the Owner is supplying the
Contractor with plans, specifications and/or design documents for the project. Without modification,
this Document is not suitable for a design-build project.

Established case precedent holds that the Owner warrants that the plans and specifications are accurate
and that, if followed, the plans and specifications are adequate to accomplish the purpose of the project.
If there is a problem encountered that is attributable to the design, the Owner bears responsibility as
between the Owner and Contractor.

2. Cost Plus Contract: This Document is written to be a cost plus contract. It is not a fixed price
contract. The Contractor estimates the project cost, but the actual project cost is ultimately determined
by the actual costs of labor and materials supplied by the Contractor. The actual costs of construction
may be higher, equal to, or lower than the cost estimated by the Contractor. This is not a fixed price
or guaranteed maximum price under which the Owner is protected by a lump sum or guaranteed
maximum amount. Rather, the Owner is responsible to pay for actual expenditures by the Contractor
and for comparing expenditures to the amounts estimated by the Contractor. The Owner is to be
provided a control estimate and is entitled to receive notice if the Contactors reimbursable costs
exceed the control estimate by a certain percentage.

3. Components of Costs: Different contractors have different billing practices. For instance, a
Contractors listed hourly rate charged for an employee is usually not what the employee is actually
paid. Therefore, the Document allows the parties to define reimbursable costs (Option A of Section 2.2)
or identify such terms in an exhibit (Option B of Section 2.2). It is left to the parties to negotiate and
agree upon what constitutes reimbursable costs and how much the Contractor will be paid for the Work.

4. Cost Auditing: The Document permits the Owner to review the Contractors cost records (such as
material purchase receipts, subcontractor invoices and labor costs) each time the Contractor submits a
monthly progress billing. Because there is no fixed price or guaranteed maximum price, the Owner
should carefully review payment applications and supporting documentation. In addition, lien release
forms have been provided as Exhibits to the Document.

5. Damages for Late Performance: The Document requires the Contractor to pay the Owner daily
liquidated damages if the specified date of Substantial Completion is not achieved. Because the
contract contains a waiver of consequential damages in Section 6.4, liquidated damages likely represent
the Owners only remedy for late completion of the project. The parties must negotiate the amount of
the daily rate.

6. Bonds, Insurance, Registration: The Contractor and Owner are encouraged to contact their insurance
agents before signing the contract to make sure all the insurance requirements can be met. The
Contractor is required to provide insurance to insure the Work while in progress. Additionally, the
Owner is encouraged to check the status of each potential contractors registration and insurance with
the Florida Department of Labor and Industries. This Document does not require the Contractor to
obtain a payment and performance bond in the amount of the cost of the Work.

7. Contractors Warranty: In the documents, the Contractor warrants to the Owner that the Work will be
in accordance with contract documents and free of material structural defects.

8. Owners Notice of Claims After Completion: TBD

9. Revisions: The Document terms are intended to achieve consistency throughout the Document. If
revisions are made, care should be taken that the changes do not contradict other terms in the
Document.

Party that writing (the Change Notice);

WSBA Residential Construction Contract #1 Cost Plus 0910

b. Before proceeding with the changed work, unless excused by an emergency involving safety or
property damage, the Contractor shall provide Owner with a fixed-price written estimate of the cost and
time impact of the requested Change;

c. Owner and Contractor shall execute a Change Order confirming their agreement with the Change, the
fixed-price cost, and the extension of the Substantial Completion date, if any. If the Change cannot be

3.2 Change Order Format. A blank Change Order form is included in this Contract as Exhibit E.

IV. SCHEDULE

4.1 Commencement and Completion of the Work. Contractor shall commence the Work within ten (10)

herein, Contractor shall Substantially Complete the Work within ________ (___) calendar days after
the commencement date. With its first Application for Payment, Contractor shall provide a schedule
indicating proposed subcontractors activity sequences and durations, deadlines for Owners decisions
on material selections, and milestones for delivery of materials. The schedule is included in this
Contract as Exhibit F.

4.2 Construction Time and Liquidated Damages. Contractor agrees that the time in Section 4.1 to reach
Substantial Completion, as reflected by Contractors schedule, provides sufficient time for the
expeditious and practical execution of the Work. If Contractor fails to achieve Substantial Completion
of the Work by the date set forth in Section 4.1, Owner will suffer substantial damages that are both
extremely difficult and impractical to determine. Owner and Contractor agree that if Contractor fails to
meet the Substantial Completion date, then Contractor shall pay Owner liquidated damages at a daily
rate of _________________________ ________________________ Dollars ($__________). The

of liquidated damages from any sums due to Contractor.
4.3 Delay. If the Project is delayed by the act, neglect or default of Owner, Owners agent, Owners

Owner, any materials supplier acting for Owner, or any other reason or reasons beyond Contractors
reasonable control, including without limitation damage caused by fire or other casualty, strikes, force
majeure, shortage of materials or labor, transportation delays, weather conditions, change orders, or
deficiencies in the Contract Documents (the Excusable Delay), then the Substantial Completion date
shall be extended for a period reasonably equivalent to the time lost by reason of such delay.

reasonable diligence should know of an Excusable Delay, but in no event longer than seven (7) days,

shall be based upon Contractors reasonable determination of the delay period. Any time extension to
the Substantial Completion date shall be documented in a Change Order.

cost or expense incurred by Owner in remedying any warranted defects unless Contractor has been

diligently continue with cure efforts if the breach cannot reasonably be cured within seven (7) days, the
Contractor may terminate the Contract.

X. MEDIATION

The parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through good faith negotiation as a condition
precedent to commencing litigation, except where commencing litigation is necessary to preserve lien
or other similar rights. If negotiation is not successful, then before beginning any legal proceeding,
other than to enforce this Section, the parties agree to engage in non-binding mediation conducted by a
mediator selected by them and in accordance with the Washington State version of the Uniform
Mediation Act. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the mediation will be in accordance with the Home
