EXHIBIT "A"
AMENDMENT #1 TO PROGRESSIVE DESIGN -BUILD AGREEMENT
This Contract Price Amendment or Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment"), dated 12/11/2025
("Amendment Effective Date"), is entered into by and between Baytown Waterworks Partners, having
an address at 15415 Market Street, Channelview, Texas 77530 ("Design -Builder"); and Baytown Area
Water Authority, having an address at 7425 Thompson Rd, Baytown, TX 77521 ("Owner"), and
amends the parties' DBIA 545 Progressive Design -Build Agreement for Water and Wastewater Projects
dated August 22, 2024 ("Original Agreement").
BACKGROUND
A. The parties previously executed the Original Agreement related to the BAWA East Surface Water
Treatment Plant Phase II Expansion ("Project"); and
B. In exchange for mutual promises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties now desire to amend the Original Agreement to
clarify (i) the reallocation of allowance underruns; (ii) each party's obligations with respect to tariff
impacts and owner -furnished equipment; and (iii) terms related to phased Substantial Completion
of the Project and Phase 2 updates, and update other relevant provisions, as provided in this
Amendment.
AGREEMENT
1. The parties agree to amend Article 5.3.1 of the Original Agreement, titled, "Contract Time," to
clarify the date of Substantial Completion, which will be [date]. Accordingly, Article 5.3.1 of
the Original Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
5.3.1 Substantial Completion of the entire Work shall be achieved no later than Eight
hundred sixty-nine (869)calendar days after the Date of Commencement ("Scheduled
Substantial Completion
Date').
2. The parties agree to amend Article 5.6 of the Original Agreement, titled, "Contract Time," to
clarify the applicable amount for liquidated damages. Accordingly, Article 5.6 of the Original
Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
5.6 Any liquidated damages assessed pursuant to this Agreement shall be in lieu of all
liability for any and all extra costs, losses, expenses, claims, penalties and any other
damages, whether special or consequential, and of whatsoever nature, incurred by
Owner which are occasioned by any delay in achieving Substantial Completion, Interim
Milestone Dates (if any) or Final Completion.
E Owner and Design -Builder agree that the maximum aggregate liability Design -
Builder has for any liquidated damages that may be assessed under this Agreement
shall be two -hundred and forty thousand Dollars ($240, 000).
E In addition to Design -Builder's right to a time extension for those events set
forth in Section 8.2.1 of the General Conditions of Contract, Design -Builder shall also
be entitled to an appropriate adjustment of the Contract Price for those events set forth
in Section 8.2.1 of the General Conditions of Contract, provided, however, for Force
Majeure Events, Design -Builder shall be entitled to an increase in the Contract Price
providing that: (i) said events must exceed 5 cumulative days before Design -Builder
is entitled to additional compensation: and (ii) said additional compensation shall be
limited to the direct costs and expenses Design -Builder can demonstrate it has
reasonably actually incurred as a result of such event.
3. The parties agree that Contract Price will be based on Design -Builder's Fee plus the Cost of
the Work, subject to a GMP. Accordingly, the parties agree to amend the Original Agreement
to delete Article 6.2 in its entirety.
4. The parties agree to amend Article 6.6.1 of the Original Agreement, titled, "Cost of the Work,"
to clarify the applicable GMP and General Conditions Cap. Accordingly, Article 6.6.1 of the
Original Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
6.6.1 ® Design -Builder guarantees that it shall not exceed the GMP of sixty-nine
million, seven hundred eighty-two thousand, eight hundred sixty-one Dollars
($69, 782, 861). Documents used as basis for the GMP shall be identified as the
Contract Price Amendment to this Agreement. Design -Builder does not guarantee any
specific line item provided as part of the GMP, provided, however, that it does
guarantee the line item for its general project management and general conditions
costs, in the amount of Five million, seven hundred forty-three thousand, nine hundred
twenty-two Dollars ($5,743,922), and as set forth in the Contract Price Amendment
("General Conditions Cap'). Design -Builder agrees that it will be responsible for paying
the applicable general conditions costs in excess of the General Conditions Cap, as
well as be responsible for all costs of completing the Work which exceed the GMP, as
said general conditions line item and the GMP may be adjusted in accordance with the
Contract Documents, including but not limited to the markups for Change Orders set
forth in Section 6.3 herein.
5. The parties agree to amend Article 6.6.2 of the Original Agreement, titled, "Cost of the Work,"
to clarify the applicable amount of Contingency included in the GMP. Accordingly, Article
6.6.2 of the Original Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
6.6.2 The GMP includes a Contingency in the amount of Three million, eight hundred twenty-
two thousand, fifteen Dollars ($3,822,015) which is available for Design -Builder's exclusive use
for unanticipated costs it has incurred that are not the basis for a Change Order under the
Contract Documents. By way of example, and not as a limitation, such costs may include: (a)
trade buy-out differentials; (b) overtime or acceleration; (c) escalation of materials; (d)
correction of defective, damaged or nonconforming Work, design errors or omissions, however
caused; (e) Subcontractor defaults, or (f) those events under Section 8.2.2 of the General
Conditions of Contract that result in an extension of the Contract Time but do not result in an
increase in the Contract Price. The Contingency is not available to Owner for any reason,
including changes in scope or any other item which would enable Design -Builder to increase
the GMP under the Contract Documents. Design -Builder shall provide Owner notice of all
anticipated charges against the Contingency, and shall provide Owner as part of the monthly
status report required by Section 2.1.2 of the General Conditions of Contract an accounting of
the Contingency, including all reasonably foreseen uses or potential uses of the Contingency
in the upcoming three (3) months. Design -Builder agrees that with respect to any expenditure
from the Contingency relating to a Subcontractor default or an event for which insurance or
bond may provide reimbursement, Design -Builder will in good faith exercise reasonable steps
to obtain performance from the Subcontractor and/or recovery from any surety or insurance
company. Design -Builder agrees that if Design -Builder is subsequently reimbursed for said
costs, then said recovery will be credited back to the Contingency. If the amount of contingency
spent by the Design -Builder is less than the amount shown above by the time of the Final
Payment the difference will be considered savings and will be shared fifty percent (50%) to the
Design -Builder and fifty percent (50%) to Owner.
6. The parties agree to delete Article 6.6.3 "Savings" in its entirety from the Original Agreement.
7. The parties agree to amend Article 6.7.5 of the Original Agreement, titled, "Allowance Items
and Allowance Values," to clarify that Design -Builder may reallocate underruns from one
Allowance Item to another Allowance Item, with written notice to and approval from the Owner.
Rev. 11-09-2015 Page 2 of 6
Accordingly, Article 6.7.5 of the Original Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with
the following:
6.7.5 Design -Builder may, with prior written notice to and approval from Owner, reallocate
underruns from one Allowance Item to offset overruns in another. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, whenever the actual costs for an Allowance Item are more than or less
than the stated Allowance Value, the Contract Price shall be adjusted accordingly by
Change Order, subject to Section 6.7.4. The amount of the Change Order shall
reflect the difference between actual costs incurred by Design -Builder for the
particular Allowance Item and the Allowance Value.
8. The parties agree to amend the Original Agreement to clarify the list of exhibits and documents
after the execution of the Contract Price Amendment. Accordingly, Article 11.2 of the Original
Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
11.2 Listing of Exhibits and documents incorporated herein:
Exhibit A — Owner's Project Criteria
Exhibit B — Scope of Services
Exhibit C — DBIA Document No. 535, Standard Form of General Conditions of
Contract Between Owner and Design -Builder Modified (2022 Edition) ("General
Conditions of Contract')
Exhibit D — Change Order No. 1
Exhibit E — Contract Price Amendment
Exhibit F — Substantial Completion Certificate template
Exhibit G — Price proposal and supporting documents
9. The parties agree to amend the Original Agreement to clarify each party's respective
responsibilities for tariff -related impacts occurring before and after execution of the Contract Price
Amendment. Accordingly, the Original Agreement is amended to add a new Article 13, titled "Tariff -
Related Impacts," which contains the following language:
Article 13
Tariff -Related Impacts
13.1 All tariffs, duties, or similar import or export fees that are being enforced as of the date
of execution of the Contract Price Amendment, as well as all price increases known to
Design -Builder at that time caused by taxes, duties, tariffs, or trade actions, are
included in the Contract Price Amendment and are the responsibility of Design -Builder.
Any unknown or unexpected impacts related to taxes, duties, tariffs, trade actions, or
similar causes beyond Design -Builder's reasonable control, as well as any new or
increased fees imposed by actions of government or authorities or becoming effective
after the date of execution of the Contract Price Amendment, will entitle Design -Builder
to a Change Order adjusting the Contract Price and Contract Time. Design -Builder
shall promptly notify Owner in writing of any such new or changed impact and provide
documentation reasonably satisfactory to Owner to demonstrate such impact. For the
avoidance of doubt, this clause does not apply to general price escalation or other
market changes unrelated to price or schedule impacts related to taxes, duties, tariffs,
trade actions, or similar causes.
10. The parties agree to amend the Original Agreement to clarify obligations with respect to Owner -
Furnished Equipment. Accordingly, the Original Agreement is amended to add a new Article 14,
titled "Owner -Furnished Equipment," which contains the following language:
Article 14
Owner -Furnished Equipment
Rev. 11-09-2015 Page 3 of 6
14.1 Any equipment or materials to be furnished by Owner for incorporation into the Work
("Owner -Furnished Equipment') shall be specifically identified in the Contract
Documents and timely ordered by Owner. Owner shall contract directly with the vendor
and remain responsible for ensuring that Owner -Furnished Equipment is delivered to
the Project site in a timely manner, free of defects, and in proper condition for
installation. Design -Builder will assist Owner in facilitating the process, including
coordinating delivery, reviewing submittals, and participating in inspection of Owner -
Furnished Equipment. Notwithstanding such assistance, Owner shall remain
responsible for correcting any defects, delays, loss, damage, nonconformance, or
performance issues related to Owner -Furnished Equipment provided the cause of the
issues is determined to be equipment and not installation related. Design -Builder shall
be entitled to an equitable adjustment to Contract Time and Contract Price for any
delays or additional costs arising from Owner -Furnished Equipment. All product
warranties related to Owner -Furnished Equipment shall run directly from the vendor to
Owner.
11. The parties amend Article 1.2.19 of the Standard Form of General Conditions of Contract Between
Owner and Design -Builder (the "General Conditions"), titled "Basic Definitions," to clarify the
definition of Substantial Completion to address Substantial Completion for designated portions of
the Work. Accordingly, Article 1.2.19 of the General Conditions of the Original Agreement is deleted
in its entirety and replaced with the following:
1.2.19 Substantial Completion or Substantially Complete means the date on which the Work,
or designated portion of the Work, is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract
Documents so that Owner can occupy and use the Project or such portion for its intended
purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, the date of Substantial Completion of the Work, or any
designated portion thereof, shall be the date of issuance of the applicable Certificate of
Substantial Completion, and all rights, obligations, and time periods under the Contract
Documents that are tied to Substantial Completion, including without limitation transfer of risk
of loss, commencement of warranties, and reduction of retainage, shall run from such date for
the applicable portion of the Work.
12. The parties amend Article 6.6 of the General Conditions, titled "Substantial Completion," to clarify
and expand the provisions relating to Substantial Completion of portions of the Work. Accordingly,
Article 6.6 of the General Conditions of the Original Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:
6.6 Substantial Completion.
6.6.1 Design -Builder shall notify Owner when it believes the Work, or a portion of the Work, is
Substantially Complete. Within thirty (30) days of Owner's receipt of Design -Builder's notice,
Owner and Design -Builder will jointly inspect such Work to verify that it is Substantially
Complete in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. If such Work is
Substantially Complete, Owner shall prepare and issue a Certificate of Substantial Completion
in the form attached as Exhibit F, which shall set forth: (i) a clear description of the Work
considered Substantially Complete; (ii) the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or a
designated portion thereof,- (iii) the remaining items of Work to be completed before final
payment; (iv) provisions (to the extent not already provided in the Contract Documents)
establishing Owner's and Design -Builder's responsibility for the Project's security,
maintenance, utilities, and insurance of such Substantially Completion Work pending final
payment; and (v) an acknowledgment that warranties for such Work commence to run on the
date of Substantial Completion for that portion of the Work, except as may otherwise be noted
in the Certificate of Substantial Completion.
6.6.2 Upon Substantial Completion of the entire Work or any designated portion, Owner shall
release to Design -Builder all retained amounts relating, as applicable, to the entire Work or
completed portion of the Work, less an amount equal to the reasonable value of all remaining
or incomplete items of Work as noted in the applicable Certificate of Substantial Completion.
Rev. 11-09-2015 Page 4 of 6
6.6.3 Owner, at its option, may use a portion of the Work which has been determined to be
Substantially Complete, provided, however, that (i) a Certificate of Substantial Completion has
been issued for such portion of Work addressing the items set forth in Section 6.6.1 above; (ii)
Design -Builder and Owner have obtained the consent of their sureties and insurers, and to the
extent applicable, the appropriate government authorities having jurisdiction over the Project;
and (iii) Owner and Design -Builder agree that Owner's use or occupancy will not interfere with
Design -Builder's completion of the remaining Work.
6.6.4 As of the date of Substantial Completion for each designated portion of the Work, Owner
shall accept care, custody, and control of that portion or phase, and shall thereafter be
responsible for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, and insurance with
respect thereto. Warranties for such portion shall commence to run on the date of Substantial
Completion identified in the applicable Certificate of Substantial Completion. Payment and
performance bonds furnished by Design -Builder shall no longer apply to the portion of the Work
certified as Substantially Complete, except to the extent of obligations expressly identified in
the applicable Certificate of Substantial Completion.
6.6.5 The parties shall identify in writing any scopes of Work designated for early Substantial
Completion, which may include, without limitation, the Ground Storage Tank, LLPS, TPS, and
HSPS. For each portion of the Work designated for early Substantial Completion, the scope
considered Substantially Complete shall be clearly defined in the applicable Certificate of
Substantial Completion.
13. The parties amend the Original Agreement to add the Certificate of Substantial Completion
attached to this Amendment as a new Exhibit F of the Agreement. The parties agree that this
certificate will be used as the Certificate of Substantial Completion for all Work and is hereby added
to the Original Agreement as Exhibit F.
14. The parties amend the Original Agreement to add in the Price Proposal as a new Exhibit G of the
Agreement. The parties agree that the price proposal will be used as the basis for the GMP and is
hereby added to the Original Agreement as Exhibit G.
15. This Amendment contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject
matter and supersedes any prior representations or agreements, oral or written, and all other
communications between the parties relating to the subject matter. All other provisions, terms and
conditions of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full effect.
16. Any definitions used in this Amendment that are not defined in this Amendment will have the
meanings provided in the Original Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Amendment
and the Original Agreement, this Amendment governs with respect to the subject matter.
17. This Amendment may be signed in one or more counterparts (including faxed copies and any
electronic or digital format), each one of which is considered an original, but all of which constitute
one and the same instrument.

1.2 BWP Self -Perform Bids for Bid Packages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8
The costs included in the GMP for trades that are being self -performed are based on BWP's thorough
quantity survey and labor estimates. Those labor estimates are validated with our historical databases
developed from the treatment plant projects that we have built. Material and equipment pricing is based on
current, competitive market pricing. 1st tier bids were solicited via outreach event and newspaper
advertisements; however, no other bids were received. Over 3,000 quantities and their associated unit
pricing were provided to BGE on 10/07/25 and 10/24/25 respectfully. The bids include all materials, labor,
labor burden, equipment, project supervision, and markups.
1.3 Trade Partner Bids for Bid Packages 4, 6, 7, 9, 10
The costs included in the GMP for trades that aren't being self -performed are based on trade partner bids.
Each bid package has a scope sheet, which is a bid leveling tool used to evaluate the bids for each bid
package. All 23 bid package scope sheets were shared with BGE on 10/24/25. All bids include all materials,
labor, labor burden, equipment, project supervision, and markups.
1.4 Proposed BWP Allowances
1.4.1 Dewatering Allowance
This allowance covers the risk of additional dewatering that may be needed on the site as a result of
groundwater encountered below grade. The civil contractor's base bid includes 901f of wellpoints
BAWA East Surface Water Treat ment Plan`
Phase II Expansion Project -
Basis of Guaranteed Maximum Price
for a duration of 3 weeks for the deep manhole (PDMH-5A) but no additional dewatering wells are
included in the cost of work.
The basis of pricing for this allowance covers approximately 240 LF of well -point installation and
removal for dewatering related to utility trenches and an approximately 410 LF of well -point
installation and removal for the ground storage tank ground improvements. Both areas include
approximately 3 months of well -point rental.
1.4.2 Weather Event Allowance
Our GMP incorporates and anticipates 46 clean up days from weather events for the duration of this
project. This is approximately 2 days for each month of active construction onsite, i.e. from start of
construction (March 2026) until end of functional testing (February 2028). This allowance covers the
costs associated with managing weather events on the project site in excess of the 2 days per month
already included in the GMP.
The cost basis for this allowance is a 3-person crew pumping water and de -mucking excavations,
structures, and the general site for an additional 46 cleanup days (for a total of 4 days per month.) In
addition, this weather allowance cost basis includes the pumping equipment and materials needed
to support these pumping, de -mucking activities and cleanup activities. BWP recommends
reconciliation of the weather allowance usage on a per month basis to accurately reflect the impacts
using daily reports and weather reports while still fresh for the project team. In the event less than 2
weather days occur in a given month those allotted days will carry forward to the next month.
1.4.3 Pretreat Shoring, Baffles & Existing Operating Support Allowance
This allowance is related to the excavation required for structural fill underneath the Pretreatment
structure adjacent to the existing Pretreatment structure. The Geotechnical report requires 4' of
structural fill beneath the concrete slab. Since the new structure is immediately adjacent to the
structure there is a risk of undermining the existing structure during the excavation and backfill
operations. However, during the original project construction it is reasonable to assume that
structural fill was installed under the original structure and extends out approximately 3-5' and
slopes to existing surface at a minimum of 1.5:1 slope. Once an initial excavation is completed, we
will analysis the existing soils and determine if structural fill is already in place within the zone of
influence of the existing structure. If this is the case, then there will be no need to excavate those
materials. However, if it is determined that the existing soils within the zone of influence are not
adequate forthe new structure then some alternate means of shoring or structural fill will need to
be installed.
The basis of pricing for this allowance is based on the installation of approximately 55 LF of shoring
to support the existing structure during the excavation and backfill operations of the new
pretreatment structure.
In addition, this allowance is centered around the operating condition of existing equipment and
structures onsite. Expansion of the plant will require tie into existing structures, pipelines and
equipment onsite and understanding the condition of those existing conditions is not possible to
ascertain until the work is being conducted. In addition, we recognize that plant operations could
need assistance with existing equipment during the project. This allowance covers the costs of
labor, materials and equipment to repair or replace existing equipment during construction that was
intended to work without modification for the plant expansion. Possible examples of this could
include, but is not limited to, existing waterstop at pretreatment, existing valves and piping both
BAWA East Surface Water Treatment Plant
Phase II Expansion Project -
Basis of Guaranteed Maximum Price
underground and above ground that will be tied into, existing slide gate operations, existing
pumping and equipment that is being reused for plant expansion, any other existing condition that
is determine needs repair/replacement in order for the plant expansion to function as intended.
Finally, this allowance includes a defined amount for additional baffles in the event the specified
baffling factor of 0.6 is not expected to be met following the completion of the CFD analysis.
1.5 Proposed Owner Allowances
1.5.1 3rd Party Testing/Inspection Allowance
This allowance is a recommended budget set aside forthe owner provided 3,d Party Testing and
Inspection services. Our GMP summary sheet has carried a value of $600k forthis allowance which
is based on 1% of approximate Construction Value.
1.5.2 Maintenance Building FFE Allowance
This allowance is a recommended budget set aside for the purchase of shelving equipment,
furniture, tools, etc. that BAWA would like BWP to purchase and install within the new maintenance
building storage area. The basis for budget includes approximately $20k in shelving and $20k in
equipment/furniture.
1.5.3 Other Allowances as determined by Owner
Any other allowances that the owner or owner advisor determines to be carried in this project
budget that have not been previously discussed with BWP, such as tariffs and building permits in
excess of the $10k currently carried in the GMP for permits.
1.6 Contingency
The risk register is a tool used to inform the potential value of the contingency and identify focus areas to be
managed throughout the project. However, the risk register should not be used as a menu to shift risk or
reduce / eliminate line -item contingencies. As the project evolves through design and construction, some
items' risks, and therefore costs, may be reduced, while new risk items will arise that may have a greater
impact. This offsetting effect of evolving risks allows the contingency not to be overly inflated or too
aggressive causing uncertainty and unnecessary fluctuations in project cost.
Contingency history was also utilized to make sure the project is in line with previous experiences given the
project's risk profile at the point in time when the GMP was delivered.
The Cost Model contingencies are as follows: 4%for Design & Estimating contingency and 4%for
Construction contingency which is in -line with prior experience given the level of design, project scope,
estimate effort, as well as current and forecasted market conditions. Both Design & Estimating Contingency
and Construction contingency are available for BWP's exclusive use and these contingencies are not
available to the Owner for any reason per section 6.6.2 of the Owner/Design Builder agreement.
Furthermore, we recommend BAWA includes 5% for Owner's Contingency. If the amount of contingency
spent by the Design -Builder is less than the amount shown above by the time of the Final Payment the
difference will be considered savings and will be shared fifty percent (50%) to the Design -Builder and
fifty percent (50%) to Owner.
BAWA East Surface Water Treatment Plant
Phase II Expansion Project -
Basis of Guaranteed Maximum Price
No stated escalation contingency is included in the GMP. $47,204 is included in the direct costs to cover
unknown material commodity, equipment, and subcontractor price increases between the GMP and award
period (November 1, 2025 through the first quarter of 2026) for bid packages that are not being awarded
until the design is 100% complete.
1.7 Design & Estimating Contingency
Design & Estimating contingency is used to cover any construction costs stemming from detailed design
development and estimating gaps that have yet been detailed in 70% design documents. A 4% Design &
Estimating contingency has been included in the Cost Model.
After IFC documents have been generated by the design team the documents will be reviewed in
comparison with the 70% GMP documents to review cost and schedule implications. An IFC contingency
request will be used to true -up bid values for all work packages as appropriate and applicable. The
contingency request will be funded from the Design & Estimating Contingency.
1.8 Construction Contingency
Construction contingency is defined in the Agreement under section 6.6.2 and used to cover any unforeseen
construction costs that occur after ground has been broken and is funded from the design -builder's
contingency bucket for the exclusive use of the design -builder. Some of these costs can be tied to
anticipated risk events that are identified in the risk register. A 4% construction contingency has been
included in the GMP.
1.9 Owner Contingency
Owner contingency is used to cover any unforeseen construction costs that occur after ground has been
broken and are funded from the owner's contingency bucket that are not covered under section 6.6.2 of the
Agreement. Some of these costs can be tied to anticipated risk events that are identified in the risk register.
We recommend BAWA include 5% owner contingency outside the GMP since owner's contingency is not
included in the GMP.
Section 2: Assumptions and Clarifications
The following items are assumptions and clarifications for the GMP.
2.1 General Assumptions and Clarifications
1. Changes in Law, or governmental policy impacts due to tariffs, surcharges, or
other force majeure cost impacts to construction related cost inputs after
10/30/2025 are not included.
1. Remediation of hazardous materials, if encountered, is not included.
2. BABA requirements are not considered in the GMP.
3. US Iron and Steel Requirements are considered in the GMP.
4. The cost of temporary power infrastructure has been estimated for limited and
temporary construction needs only. Distribution of temporary power, water,
and sewer connections have been included.
5. Temporary power shall be available for use during construction.
6. The GMP does not include any reoccurring fees or usage costs associated with
BAWA East Surface Water Treatment Plant
Phase II Expansion Project -
Basis of Guaranteed Maximum Price
the use of temporary water or electricity during construction.
7. Onsite field offices are included for Design -Builder staff, no office space is
included for owner or owner advisor personnel during construction.
8. Owner Contingency is not included
9. 3rd Party Materials Testing/Inspection is not included
10. Telephone service is not included
11. Building Fixtures, Furniture or Equipment is not included
12. Owner Procured Equipment is not included
13. Sales tax for permanent materials is not included
14. Cost loaded project schedule is not included
15. Extended support for BAWA operations and maintenance staff are not
included but can be provided upon request.
16. This GMP is based on BAWA providing a phase 2 notice to proceed on or
before 1/5/2026
17. This GMP is based on TCEO providing their approval to the RP&B set of
documents by 11/3/2025 and any other required approvals in line with an
anticipated Phase 2 Notice to Proceed in early January.
18. This GMP is based on the TWDB providing their approval to the 300A
documents by 11/7, and approval of the 400A documents and any other
TWDB documents in line with an anticipated Phase 2 Notice to Proceed in
early January.
19. The GMP includes the TWDB 300A and TWDB 400A forms as well as the
monthly billing forms required by TWDB.
20. During assembly of the GMP and review of the 70% design documents the
inclusion of additional sanitary sewer provision of the site were discussed
between BWP and BGE. However, there is still ambiguity about what might
be added to the project, therefore these additional sewer modifications,
including the associated design costs, are not currently included in the GMP
nor are they included in the 90% design documents recently transmitted. Post
GMP approval we recommend a further detailed discussion with all parties to
determine the best path forward related to Sanitary Sewer Master Planning
for the project site.
21. Some project materials and equipment will be procured from sole- or
limited -source vendors whose pricing assumes limitations of liability and
other exclusions. BWP will use commercially reasonable efforts to seek more
favorable terms, but such limitations are often required when procuring from
limited -source vendors. If liability related to those vendors exceeds amounts
recoverable from the applicable vendor, BWP may, with notice to the Owner,
use then -available Contractor's Contingency to cover such amounts. If those
costs exceed the remaining Contractor's Contingency, the balance will be
funded from the Owner's Contingency. This does not expand BWP's liability
beyond vendor recoveries plus any then -available contingency.
22. The GMP assumes that the Design -Builder can use then -available Contractor's
Contingency to cover the costs of insurance deductible obligations.
2.2 Design Completion
2.2.1 General Assumptions
1. General project collaboration and coordination between BAWA and BWP,
