Article 2

RELATIONSHIP OF OWNER, CONTRACTOR AND SUBCONTRACTORS

2.1 Status of Contractor. The relationship of Contractor to Owner shall be that of an independent contractor. Any provisions of the Contract Documents which may appear to give Owner or the Owner Representative the right to direct or control Contractor as to details of performing the Work, or to exercise any measure of control over the Work, shall be deemed to mean that Contractor shall follow the desires of Owner or the Owner Representative in the results of the Work only and not in the means by which the Work is to be accomplished, and Contractor shall have the complete right, obligation and authoritative control over the Work as to the manner, means or details as to how to perform the Work. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to create a master-servant or principal-agent relationship between Contractor, or any of its Subcontractors, and Owner. Nevertheless, Contractor shall comply with all provisions, terms and conditions of the Contract Documents, and the fact that Contractor is an independent contractor does not relieve it from its responsibility to fully, completely, timely and safely perform the Work in compliance with the Contract Documents.

2.2 Key Personnel, Organization Chart and Contractor Representative.

A. Contractor Personnel. Contractor represents that it has adequate and fully qualified personnel and facilities within its organization to perform the Work required by the Contract Documents.

B. Key Personnel and Organization Chart. Attachment F sets forth Contractor’s organizational chart to be implemented for the Work and also contains a list of key personnel (“Key Personnel” or “Key Persons”) from Contractor’s organization who will be assigned to the Work. Key Personnel shall, unless otherwise expressly stated in Attachment F, be devoted full-time to the Work until completion of the Work, and Key Personnel shall not be removed or reassigned without Owner’s prior written approval. All requests for the substitution of Key Personnel shall include a detailed explanation and reason for the request and the resumes of professional education and experience for a minimum of two (2) candidates of equal or greater qualifications and experience. Should Owner approve of the replacement of a Key Person, Contractor shall, so far as reasonably practicable, allow for an overlap of at least one (1) week during which both the Key Person to be replaced and the Owner-approved new Key Person shall work together full time. The

 

- 9 -


additional cost of any replacement of such Key Personnel and overlap time shall be entirely at Contractor’s expense. Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time to require that Contractor replace any Key Person with another employee acceptable to Owner.

C. Contractor Representative. The Contractor Representative is a Key Person.

2.3 Subcontractors. Owner acknowledges and agrees that Contractor intends to have portions of the Work accomplished by Subcontractors pursuant to written Subcontracts. All Subcontractors shall be reputable, qualified firms with an established record of successful performance in their respective professions performing identical or substantially similar work. All Subcontracts shall be consistent with the terms or provisions of the Contract Documents to the extent such terms and provisions are applicable to the Scope of Work of any applicable Work Order. In the event Contractor is unable to obtain consistent provisions in any Subcontract, or Owner’s written approval to deviate from the provisions of the Contract Documents within such Subcontract, Contractor will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a substitute Subcontractor; provided, however, should Contractor, notwithstanding its use of commercially reasonable efforts, be unable to procure a substitute Subcontractor, Contractor shall not be deemed to be in default or breach of this Agreement. No Subcontractor is intended to be or shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement or any Work Order. Contractor shall be fully responsible to Owner for the acts and omissions of Subcontractors and of Persons directly or indirectly employed by any of them in the performance of the Work, as it is for the acts or omissions of Persons directly employed by Contractor. The work of any Subcontractor shall be subject to inspection by Owner to the same extent as the Work of Contractor. All Subcontractors and their respective personnel are to be instructed by Contractor in the terms and requirements of the Owner-approved safety and environmental protection regulations and policies and shall be expected to comply with such regulations. In the event that any personnel are not adhering to such regulations and policies, such personnel shall be removed by Contractor. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to any adjustment of any Work Schedule under any Work Order as a result of such personnel’s non-compliance with such regulations and policies set forth in the HSE Plan, or any removal of personnel necessitated by non-compliance. Nothing contained herein shall (i) create any contractual relationship between any Subcontractor and Owner, or (ii) obligate Owner to pay or cause the payment of any amounts to Subcontractor.

2.4 Subcontracts.

A. Approved List. Subject to Section 2.4C, Attachment G sets forth a list of contractors and suppliers that Contractor and Owner have agreed are approved for selection as Subcontractors for the performance of that portion of the Work specified in Attachment G. Following the Agreement Effective Date, Contractor and Owner may specify in a Work Order additional contractors and suppliers for selection as Subcontractors for performance of Work set forth in such Work Order. Approval by Owner of any Subcontractors does not relieve Contractor of any responsibilities under the Contract Documents.

 

- 10 -


B. Additional Proposed Subcontractors. In the event that Contractor is considering the selection of a Subcontractor not listed on Attachment G or in a Work Order, Contractor shall notify Owner of its proposed Subcontractor as soon as possible during the selection process and furnish to Owner all information requested by Owner with respect to Contractor’s selection criteria (including copies of bid packages furnished to prospective Subcontractors, responses to such bid packages, and the qualifications of the proposed Subcontractors). Contractor shall use best efforts to hire qualified, local Subcontractors. Owner shall have the discretion to reject any proposed Subcontractor not listed on Attachment G or in a Work Order for a Subcontract within ten (10) Days of Owner’s receipt of Contractor’s notice and proper documentation given pursuant to this Section 2.4. If Owner does not accept or reject a Subcontractor that is otherwise properly proposed by Contractor pursuant to this Section 2.4, then such Subcontractor shall be deemed approved by Owner, but such approval does not relieve Contractor of any responsibilities under the Contract Documents. Contractor shall not enter into any Subcontract with a proposed Subcontractor that is rejected by Owner in accordance with this Section 2.4. Even if Owner approves of a Subcontractor, Owner nevertheless has the right of approval with respect to the terms and conditions of any Subcontract.

C. Subcontracts. Owner shall have the right to approve any Subcontract exceeding Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S.$50,000) prior to execution of such Subcontract by Contractor, but approval by Owner of any Subcontract shall not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The price in any Subcontract may be for a separated fixed price, on a cost-reimbursable basis or some other basis, in each case to be approved by Owner. Contractor shall furnish Owner with a copy of all Subcontracts ten (10) or more Days prior to the execution of each such Subcontract. Without limitation of the requirements in this Section 2.4, each Subcontract shall contain the following provisions:

1. the Subcontract may, upon termination of this Agreement or all or any part of the Work, and Owner’s written notice to such Subcontractor, be assigned to Owner without the consent of Subcontractor; and

2. unless otherwise agreed by Owner in writing, Subcontractor shall comply with and perform for the benefit of Owner all requirements and obligations of Contractor to Owner under the Contract Documents, as such requirements and obligations are applicable to the performance of the work under the Subcontract.

3. Subcontractor’s billings and change orders, if any, will separate charges/pricing for “skills and labor” from charges/pricing for taxable Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner.

Article 3

CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1 Scope of Work.

A. Generally. The initial Work to be performed by Contractor under this Agreement is specified in Work Order No. 1, which is attached hereto as Attachment M. Any further Work to be performed by Contractor shall be mutually agreed upon between Owner and Contractor in subsequent Work Orders in the form of Attachment N. All Work Orders shall be dated and numbered and shall include a Scope of Work and Work Schedule for such Work Order. The rights of Owner and Contractor under each Work Order shall be independent of those under all other Work Orders. Each Work Order shall be governed by the provisions of this Agreement and shall be deemed to incorporate by reference all terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall constitute a separate and binding contract between the Parties. Contractor shall perform the Work under each Work Order in accordance with GECP, Applicable Law, Applicable Codes and Standards, and all other terms and provisions of this Agreement and such Work Order. It is understood and agreed that the Work shall include any incidental work that can reasonably be inferred as necessary to complete any Scope of Work under any Work Order in accordance with GECP, Applicable Law, Applicable Codes and Standards, and all other terms and provisions of this Agreement, excluding only those items which Owner has specifically agreed to provide under the terms of this Agreement. SUBJECT TO WORK ORDER NO. 1, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT REQUIRES OWNER TO ORDER WORK FROM CONTRACTOR OR REQUIRES CONTRACTOR TO PROVIDE WORK TO OWNER, AND CONTRACTOR SHALL BE COMPENSATED ONLY FOR SUCH WORK AS CONTRACTOR ACTUALLY PERFORMS PURSUANT TO A WORK ORDER EXECUTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

B. Exception to Scope of Work. Contractor shall not be responsible for providing (i) the Permits that Owner is responsible for obtaining in accordance with Section 4.2; (ii) those requirements set forth under Sections 4.3 and 4.5; (iii) legal description of the Site and a survey of the Site showing the boundaries of the Site and one survey control point pursuant to Section 4.5; and (iv) any other obligations or requirements expressly set forth in the Contract Documents as required to be performed by Owner.

C. EPC Agreement. If the Parties enter into an agreement for the engineering, procurement, and construction of the Facility (the proposed “EPC Agreement”), then the Work performed under the Contract Documents shall become part of the EPC Agreement and the terms and conditions of the EPC Agreement shall govern the Work performed under the Contract Documents and shall control over any terms in the Contract Documents. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS DO NOT IMPOSE ANY OBLIGATION ON OWNER TO ENTER INTO AN EPC AGREEMENT WITH CONTRACTOR FOR THE ENGINEERING, PROCUREMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE FACILITY.

3.2 Applicable Law. By signing any particular Work Order, Contractor represents that it has investigated to its satisfaction Applicable Law (including any Applicable Codes and Standards incorporated into Applicable Law) in existence as of the applicable Work Order Effective Date, and warrants that it can perform the Work in accordance with such Applicable Law. Contractor shall perform the Work in accordance with Applicable Law, whether or not such Applicable Law came into effect before such Work Order Effective Date or during the performance of the Work. Contractor shall advise Owner of any change in Applicable Law occurring after such Work Order Effective Date.

 

- 12 -


3.3 Changes in Applicable Codes and Standards Not Constituting a Change in Law. Contractor shall provide notice to Owner on a timely basis, and no later than thirty (30) Days after such a change, of any change in Applicable Codes and Standards that does not constitute a Change in Law. Contractor shall inform Owner if compliance with a changed Applicable Code and Standard is mandatory to comply with GECP. In the event Owner, at its sole option, elects for Contractor to implement a change in Applicable Codes and Standards that does not constitute a Change in Law, Owner shall so inform Contractor in writing.

3.4 Design and Engineering Work.

A. General. Contractor shall, as part of the Work, perform all design and engineering Work in accordance with the Contract Documents and cause the Work to meet and achieve the requirements of the Contract Documents.

B. Drawings and Specifications. The Drawings and Specifications shall be based on the requirements of the Contract Documents, including the Scope of Work of the Agreement and Design Basis as set out in Attachment A, GECP, Applicable Codes and Standards and Applicable Law.

C. Review Process.

1. Submission by Contractor. Contractor shall submit copies of the Drawings and Specifications to Owner for formal review, comment or disapproval in accordance with the requirements set forth in the applicable Work Order.

2. Review Periods. Owner shall have up to ten (10) Business Days from its receipt of Drawings and Specifications submitted in accordance with Section 3.4C.1 to issue to Contractor written comments, proposed changes and/or written disapprovals of the submission of such Drawings and Specifications to Contractor.

If Owner does not issue any comments, proposed changes or written disapprovals within such time periods, Contractor may proceed with the development of such Drawings and Specifications, but Owner’s lack of comments or disapproval, if applicable, shall in no event constitute an approval of the matters received by Owner.

In the event that Owner disapproves the Drawings or Specifications, Owner shall provide Contractor with a written statement of the reasons for such rejection within the time period required for Owner’s response, and Contractor shall provide Owner with revised and corrected Drawings and Specifications as soon as possible thereafter.

Owner’s lack of disapproval of or comments on, or any approval by Owner of, any Drawings and Specifications shall not in any way be deemed to limit or in any way alter Contractor’s responsibility to design and engineer the Facility and perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

D. Design Licenses. Contractor shall perform all design and engineering Work in accordance with Applicable Law, and all Drawings and Specifications shall be

 

- 13 -


complete and fully coordinated and stamped by design professionals duly licensed in accordance with Applicable Law.

Contractor shall deliver to Owner (i) notice of any pending or threatened material environmental claim with respect to the Facility, and (ii) promptly upon their becoming available, copies of written communications with any Governmental Instrumentality relating to any such material environmental claim.

3.6 Construction Equipment. Contractor shall furnish all Construction Equipment necessary and appropriate for the timely and safe completion of the Work in compliance with the Contract Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Contractor shall be responsible for damage to or destruction or loss of, from any cause whatsoever, all such Construction Equipment. Subject to Section 3 of Schedule L-1, Contractor shall require all insurance policies (including policies of Contractor and all Subcontractors) in any way relating to such Construction Equipment to include clauses stating that each underwriter will waive all rights of recovery, under subrogation or otherwise, against Owner and any Owner Affiliates.

3.7 Employment of Personnel.

A. Contractor shall not employ, or permit any Subcontractor to employ, in connection with its performance under the Contract Documents, any Person who is demonstrably not skilled or qualified in the services or work assigned to such Person. Contractor agrees to promptly remove (or to require any Subcontractor to remove) from its services or work in connection with the Work any Person who does not meet the foregoing requirements. In addition, Contractor agrees that, after receipt of written notice from Owner, it shall promptly remove from the Work any employee or agent of Contractor or of

 

- 14 -


its Subcontractors who, in Owner’s opinion, is unsafe, incompetent, careless, unqualified to perform the Work assigned to such Person, creates an unsafe or hostile work environment, disregards the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents, or is interrupting, interfering with or impeding the timely and proper completion of the Work. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, OWNER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY AND CONTRACTOR AGREES TO RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS THE OWNER GROUP FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DAMAGES, LOSSES, COST AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ALL REASONABLE ATTORNEYSFEES AND LITIGATION OR ARBITRATION EXPENSES) AND LIABILITIES, OF WHATSOEVER KIND OR NATURE, WHICH MAY DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISE OR RESULT FROM CONTRACTOR OR ANY SUBCONTRACTOR CHOOSING TO TERMINATE THE EMPLOYMENT OF ANY SUCH EMPLOYEE (INCLUDING ANY KEY PERSON) OR REMOVE SUCH EMPLOYEE FROM THE WORK WHO FAILS TO MEET THE FOREGOING REQUIREMENTS FOLLOWING A REQUEST BY OWNER TO HAVE SUCH EMPLOYEE REMOVED FROM THE WORK. Any such employee shall be replaced at the cost and expense of Contractor or the relevant Subcontractor, as appropriate.

B. Contractor is responsible for maintaining labor relations in such manner that, so far as reasonably practicable, there is harmony among workers. Contractor and its Subcontractors shall conduct their labor relations in accordance with the recognized prevailing local area practices. Contractor shall inform Owner promptly of any labor dispute, anticipated labor dispute, request or demand by a labor organization, its representatives or members which may reasonably be expected to affect the Work. Contractor further agrees to inform Owner, before any commitments are made, during the negotiations of any agreements or understandings with local or national labor organizations.

3.8 Clean-Up. If applicable to the Work to be performed under the Contract Documents, Contractor shall, to Owner’s satisfaction, at all times keep the Site free from all waste materials or rubbish caused by the activities of Contractor or any of its Subcontractors. As soon as practicable after final completion of the Work, Contractor shall remove all of its Construction Equipment and remove from the Site all waste material and rubbish that was caused by the activities of Contractor or any of its Subcontractors. The Site shall be restored in accordance with all Permits and the Contract Documents. In the event of Contractor’s failure to comply with any of the foregoing upon three (3) Days’ notice to do so, Owner may accomplish the same; provided, however, that Contractor shall be responsible for all reasonable costs associated with such removal and/or restoration, including costs associated with Taxes, permitting and transportation.

3.9 HSE Plan; Security.

Within sixty (60) Days after the Agreement Effective Date, Contractor shall submit to Owner for its review a health, safety and environmental plan (including a drug testing program) based upon Contractor’s standard safety and environmental policies, as modified to account for the particulars of the Work to be performed under this Agreement (the “HSE Plan”). Contractor shall revise the HSE Plan to incorporate comments, if any, provided by Owner during its review, which shall be conducted within ten (10) Days of receipt of the HSE Plan. Contractor further agrees to perform the Work in accordance with the health, safety and environmental rules and standards of Applicable Law,

 

- 15 -


GECP and the HSE Plan (collectively, the “Safety Standards”). Owner’s review of, or comments with respect to, the HSE Plan shall not in any way relieve Contractor of its obligations under this Agreement (including Contractor’s obligations to conduct the Work in accordance with the health, safety and environmental rules of Applicable Law and GECP). Contractor shall appoint one or more (as appropriate) safety representative(s) reasonably acceptable to Owner who shall have responsibility to correct unsafe conditions or unsafe acts associated with Work performed on the Site, act on behalf of Contractor on health, safety and environmental matters, and participate in periodic safety meetings with Owner. Contractor further agrees to provide or cause to be provided necessary training and safety equipment to its employees, Subcontractors, and to Owner personnel temporarily visiting the Site to ensure their compliance with the foregoing Safety Standards and enforce the use of such training and safety equipment. Contractor shall maintain all accident, injury and any other records required by Applicable Law or by Permit and shall furnish Owner a Monthly summary of injuries and labor hours lost due to injuries. Should Owner at any time observe Contractor, or any of its Subcontractors performing the Work at the Site in violation of the Safety Standards or in an unsafe manner, or in a manner that would, if continued, violate the Safety Standards or become unsafe, then Owner shall have the right (but not the obligation) to require Contractor to stop the affected Work until such time as the manner of performing such Work has been rendered safe. In connection with Work performed at the Site, Contractor shall be responsible for the security, fencing, guarding and lighting until all of the completion of such Work. In addition, for Work performed on Rights of Way and Easements, Contractor shall perform all Work in accordance with, and cause all Subcontractors to perform all Work in accordance with, the safety, health and environmental rules and policies required by the Landowners of such Rights of Way and Easements and provided in advance to Contractor in writing.

3.10 Emergencies. In the event of any emergency endangering life or property in any way relating to the Work, whether on the Site or otherwise, Contractor shall take such action as may be reasonable and necessary to prevent, avoid or mitigate injury, damage, or loss and shall, as soon as reasonably possible, report any such incidents, including Contractor’s response thereto, to Owner. If Contractor fails to take such action and the emergency requires immediate action, then Owner, with or without notice to Contractor may, but shall be under no obligation to, take reasonable action as required to address such emergency. The taking of any such action by Owner, or Owner’s failure to take any action, shall not limit Contractor’s liability. Contractor shall reimburse Owner in an amount equal to the reasonable costs incurred by Owner in taking such action.

3.11 Contractor Permits. Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining the Permits listed in Schedule B-1 and any other Permits to be issued in Contractor’s name as may be required to perform the Work under the Contract Documents. Contractor shall provide Owner with copies of such Permits as soon as reasonably practicable after they are obtained.

B. Upon reasonable notice, Owner shall have the right to audit, or have audited by Owner’s third party auditors, Contractor’s Books and Records; provided, however, that such audit shall not extend to calculations of the internal composition of any compensation that is fixed in amount hereunder, including the composition of any agreed-upon multipliers, rates, burdens and markups reflected in Attachment C. When requested by Owner, Contractor shall provide Owner or its auditors with reasonable access to all such Books and Records, and Contractor’s personnel shall cooperate with Owner and such auditors to effectuate the audit or audits hereunder. Owner and its auditors shall have the right to copy all such Books and Records. Contractor shall endeavor to include audit provisions identical to this Section 3.13 in all Subcontracts. No access to Books and Records shall be granted to Owner’s auditors until such auditors have signed a confidentiality agreement with Contractor in accordance with the standard practice in the auditing industry for audits of this kind.

3.21 Cooperation with Others. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 4.3, Contractor acknowledges that Owner or Owner’s other contractors or subcontractors may be working at the Site during the performance of the Contract Documents and Contractor’s Work or use of certain facilities may be interfered with as a result of such concurrent activities. Subject to Section 4.3, Contractor agrees to coordinate the performance of the Work with such other contractors or subcontractors performing work at the Site so as not to materially interfere with any of Owner’s other contractors or subcontractors performing work at the Site; provided, however, Contractor shall in all cases coordinate the Work with any Persons (other than Owner or Owner’s other contractors or subcontractors) on or using the Rights of Way and Easements, and Contractor shall adhere to the reasonable instructions provided by Owner or the applicable Landowner(s) in connection with Work performed within such Rights of Way and Easements.

3.23 Equipment Quality. Contractor shall furnish reasonable evidence as to the kind, quality, and quantity of all Equipment.

4.2 Owner Permits. Owner shall be responsible for obtaining the Permits listed in Schedule B-2. Owner shall maintain and, to the extent applicable, renew such Permits. To the extent Owner has already obtained any such Permits as of the Agreement Effective Date, Owner shall provide copies of such Permits to Contractor on or before the Agreement Effective Date. The terms of all such Permits shall be compatible with Contractor’s performance of the Work, and Owner shall promptly notify Contractor of any changes to the terms of any such Permit that impacts Contractor’s performance of the Work under the Contract Documents.

4.4 Sales and Use Tax Matters.

A. Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificates on Tax Exempt Equipment.

1. For Texas state and local sales and use tax purposes, the Contract Documents shall be considered to be a separated contract for the construction of new non-residential real property as defined under Applicable Law, including 34 Tex. Admin Code Rule § 3.291(a)(12). Work Orders, all Change Orders, and Contractor’s Invoices will separate pricing/charges for “skills and labor” from pricing/charges for Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner. Contractor’s Invoices shall further separate Contractor’s pricing for taxable Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner from Contractor’s pricing/charges for Tax Exempt Equipment. Contractor shall invoice Owner Texas sales and use tax on Contractor’s sales price of the separated taxable Equipment and separated taxable services re-sold to Owner. Owner will pay Contractor Texas sales and use tax and Contractor will remit these taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities. Contractor shall ensure that all Subcontracts are separated for Texas state and local sales and use tax purposes. Contractor shall issue valid Texas re-sale certificates to Contractor’s Subcontractors for Subcontractor purchases of Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner.

2. Owner shall list in each Work Order and Change Order those items of Equipment to be permanently installed at the Facility in which Owner intends to claim a manufacturing, pollution control or other applicable exemption from the payment of Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes under Applicable Law, including the governing law specified in Section 20.9 (“Tax Exempt Equipment”), which such list as set out in the Work Order may be adjusted by Owner at its sole discretion with written notice to Contractor on or before the completion of the Work and formalized by Change Order. In addition, Owner will update the list of Tax Exempt Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner in a Work Order (i) with respect to any additional items of Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner added by Change Order which are subject to a manufacturing, pollution control or other applicable exemption from the payment of Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes, or (ii) should Owner determine that any Equipment previously designated as taxable Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner should be designated as Tax Exempt Equipment or tax exempt services. Owner shall provide Contractor with a valid Texas state and applicable local sales and use tax exemption certificates claiming the manufacturing and pollution control exemptions for the Tax Exempt Equipment (including Tax Exempt Equipment added to a Work Order by Change Order). The Owner-issued Texas sales and use tax exemption certification will be supported by the Owner-provided list included and incorporated into applicable Work Order.

3. Contractor shall maintain for Owner’s review copies of Texas state and applicable local sales and use tax exemption certificates and other similar documentation necessary to support all Texas state and applicable local sales and use tax exemptions that may be available to Owner, Contractor or any Subcontractor in connection with the Work.

 

- 21 -


4. Contractor shall reasonably cooperate with Owner to minimize any and all Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes relating to the Facility and the Work. If Contractor or any Subcontractor incurs any Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes on any items of Tax Exempt Equipment or taxable services re-sold to Owner listed in a Work Order, due to Contractor failing to follow such Owner provided listed in the Work Order, Contractor shall be responsible for the payment of such Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes, penalties and interest, without reimbursement by Owner and CONTRACTOR SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS OWNER GROUP FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS BY A GOVERNMENTAL INSTRUMENTALITY FOR SUCH TEXAS STATE AND APPLICABLE LOCAL SALES AND USE TAXES. If the state of Texas increases or decreases the state or local option sales and use tax rates, the increase or decrease will be to the Owner’s account.

5. For clarification purposes, it is understood that Owner is solely responsible for the accuracy of the Owner-provided list in the Work Order regarding Tax Exempt Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner. If Contractor or any Subcontractor pays or incurs any Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes on any items of Tax Exempt Equipment or taxable services re-sold to Owner attributable to the Owner’s failure to provide Contractor with a valid Texas state and applicable local sales and use tax exemption certificate for all or any portion of the Tax Exempt Equipment and taxable services resold to Owner included in the Owner-provided list in the applicable Work Order (including adjustments made to a Work Order due to Change Orders), Contractor shall be entitled to reimbursement in accordance with Article 7 in an amount equal to such Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes, penalties and interest, if any, that are properly owed and paid by Contractor for such Tax Exempt Equipment and services improperly identified by Owner in the Owner-provided list included in the Work Order regarding Tax Exempt Equipment and taxable services re-sold to Owner, and OWNER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS CONTRACTOR GROUP FROM AND AGAINST ANY CLAIMS BY A GOVERNMENTAL INSTRUMENTALITY FOR SUCH TEXAS STATE AND LOCAL SALES AND USE TAXES.

B. Texas Sales and Use Tax on Taxable Equipment & Taxable Services Re-Sold to Owner. With each Invoice that includes any Equipment to be permanently installed in the Project (other than Tax Exempt Equipment) and taxable services resold to Owner including items such as real property services and non-Hazardous Materials removal services, Contractor shall separately list in the Invoice and bill Owner the Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes with respect to such taxable Equipment and services. Contractor invoice charges for labor and skills will be separated from Contractor invoice charges for Equipment. In addition, Contractor will separate invoice charges for taxable Equipment from invoice charges for Tax Exempt Equipment and services. In no instance will “skills and labor”, service, fabrication labor or any other form of labor charge” be billed together with a charge for taxable Equipment. The Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes charged to Owner shall be based on the prices listed in Attachment C and the schedule in the applicable Work Order. Texas sales and use tax amounts billed Owner will be subject to the provisions of Section 4.4A.4 and 4.4A5 (which

 

- 22 -


may be subject to Change Order or Work Order), which shall represent Owner’s maximum liability to Contractor for Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes on taxable Equipment and services. Subject to other provisions of this Agreement, Owner shall remit to Contractor the payment of such Texas sales and use taxes within the time allowed for the payment of Invoices under this Agreement. Contractor shall be responsible for paying to the applicable Governmental Instrumentality all applicable Texas state and applicable local sales and use taxes owed under Applicable Law with respect to taxable Equipment and services. If the Owner elects to dispute the applicable Texas state and applicable sales and use taxes on any item, Owner shall bear the costs incurred in resolving such dispute.

4.5 Legal Description and Survey. As of the Agreement Effective Date, Owner has provided to Contractor (i) the legal description of the Site as set forth in Attachment E and (ii) a survey of the Site showing the boundaries of the Site and one survey control point, prepared by Shiner Moseley and Associates, Inc., dated June 8, 2004. Contractor shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of this information. To the extent any existing structures or utilities are shown in the survey, Contractor shall independently verify the locations of such existing structures and utilities.

4.6 Owner-Provided Items. Owner shall provide those items listed in Attachment K (within the times listed in Attachment K) or any other items specified in a Work Order as being Owner-provided items. The items already provided by Owner are listed in Attachment K. The Contractor shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy and completeness of those items designated by Owner as “Rely Upon” within the Design Basis in Schedule A-2.

4.7 Excusable Delay. Owner’s obligations under this Agreement, except for any obligation to pay monies due to Contractor as provided under this Agreement, shall be suspended to the extent that performance of such obligation is delayed or prevented by Excusable Delay.

4.8 Personal and Real Property Taxes. Owner shall be responsible for personal and real property Taxes on the Facility and the Equipment that are stored or located on the Site on the applicable Tax assessment date provided for under Applicable Law.

4.9 Waivers of Consequential Damages from Landowners. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Contractor, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, Owner is responsible for obtaining a written waiver of consequential damages from Landowners in favor of Contractor as a condition precedent to Contractor’s obligation to commence Work in those areas of the Site that cause Contractor to interface with such Landowner.

A. Defective Work, unless Contractor has, within fourteen (14) Days of a written notice given by Owner to Contractor, either (i) remedied such Defective Work or (ii) if such Defective Work cannot be remedied by the exercise of reasonable diligence within such fourteen (14) Day period, provided Owner with a written plan, reasonably acceptable to Owner, to remedy such Defective Work and commenced the remedy of such Defective Work;

B. liens or other encumbrances on all or a portion of the Site or the Work, which are filed by any Subcontractor or any other Person acting through or under any of them unless Contractor has, within fourteen (14) Days of a written notice given by Owner

 

- 28 -


to Contractor, taken any of the following actions: (i) paid, satisfied or discharged the applicable liability, (ii) removed the lien or other encumbrance, or (iii) provided Owner with a bank guarantee or bond reasonably satisfactory to Owner in the applicable amount;

C. any breach by Contractor of any material term or provision of the Contract Documents; unless Contractor has, within fourteen (14) Days of a written notice given by Owner to Contractor, either (i) cured such breach or (ii) if such breach cannot be cured by the exercise of reasonable diligence within such fourteen (14) Day period, Contractor has commenced corrective action and is diligently exercising all commercially practicable efforts to cure such breach;

D. the assessment of any fines or penalties against Owner as a result of Contractor’s failure to comply with Applicable Law;

E. amounts paid by Owner to Contractor in a preceding Month or through the Initial Payment, if applicable, which have been determined to have been an overpayment pursuant to the reconciliation process in Section 8.14 or are otherwise subject to a dispute under this Agreement between Owner and Contractor; or

F. any other costs or liabilities which Owner has incurred for which Contractor is responsible under the Contract Documents.

Notwithstanding Owner’s ability to withhold amounts due to the reconciliation process in Section 8.14 and in accordance with Section 8.11E, Owner shall pay Contractor the amount withheld as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20) Days after Owner’s receipt of an Invoice from Contractor, if Contractor, as appropriate: (i) pays, satisfies or discharges the applicable liability and provides Owner with reasonable evidence of such payment, satisfaction or discharge, (ii) removes the lien or other encumbrance, (iii) cures the breach in question, (iv) remedies the Defective Work in question, (v) provides Owner with a bank guarantee or bond reasonably satisfactory to Owner in the amount of the withheld payment, and (vi) with respect to disputed amounts withheld pursuant to Section 8.11E, resolves the dispute in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article 17 (but only to the extent such resolution favors payment to Contractor).

8.12 Interest on Late Payments and Improper Collection. Any (a) amounts due but not paid hereunder within thirty (30) Days after the due date or (b) amounts withheld from Contractor but later finally determined in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Article 17 to have been improperly withheld shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) an annual rate equal to the prime rate set from time to time by Citibank, N.A. plus three percent (3%), or (ii) the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law.

8.13 Offset. Owner may offset any amount due and payable from Contractor to Owner under the Contract Documents against any amount due and payable to Contractor hereunder.

8.14 Payment Error. If an error is made in connection with a payment, and such payment is an overpayment, the Party receiving the payment in error shall immediately refund the mistaken amount to the paying Party. Without limiting the preceding sentence, and in addition to any other remedy available to Owner under this Agreement, (i) if Owner discovers that Work

 

- 29 -


associated with a Work item contained Defective Work, then Owner may offset the amount of the payment against future payments in the amount of the payment until the correction of the Defective Work is achieved, (ii) if Owner discovers that any amounts paid by it to Contractor in a preceding Month was incorrect pursuant to Section 8.14, then Owner may offset such amounts against future payments, or (iii) if Owner discovers that any amounts paid by it to Contractor in a preceding Month lacked sufficient or accurate supporting information, then Owner may offset such amounts against future payments for such amounts until sufficient and accurate supporting information is provided pursuant to Sections 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5.

8.15 Reconciliation or True-Up of Payments. Contractor shall attach to each Invoice submitted in accordance with Section 8.2B all calculations and documentation, in accordance with Attachment C, which determine (i) the actual Cost of Work incurred by Contractor in the previous Month, including all calculations, data, work logs, invoices, receipts, and other supporting documentation necessary to justify such actual Cost of the Work and (ii) the Fee based upon Contractor’s calculated actual Cost of Work. Within five (5) Days of Owner’s receipt of such documentation and the actual Cost of Work, Owner may request from Contractor any additional documentation Owner requires to support the calculation of the actual Cost of Work. Should Owner and Contractor fail to agree upon the value of the actual Cost of Work or the Fee for such previous Month, such dispute will be resolved pursuant to Article 17. Failure of Owner to request additional documentation within the times specified above, or to object to the actual Cost of Work or Fee reported by Contractor and included in an Invoice, shall not prejudice Owner’s rights to later require such documentation or later object to such Cost of Work and Fee. Notwithstanding Owner or Contractor’s right to resolve a dispute regarding the actual Cost of Work or Fee in a particular Month pursuant to Article 17, Owner shall have the right to offset or withhold, from the current Month’s Invoice, the difference between (a) the aggregate of (i) the estimated Cost of Work for the previous Month’s Work and (ii) the estimated Fee for the previous Month’s Work and (b) the aggregate of (i) the undisputed portion of the actual Cost of Work for the previous Month’s Work and (ii) the undisputed portion of the Fee for the previous Month’s Work.

Article 9

TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS

Subject to Contractor’s receipt of all payments of undisputed amounts currently due in accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents, Contractor warrants and guarantees that legal title to and ownership of the Work shall be free and clear of any and all liens, claims, security interests or other encumbrances arising out of the Work when title thereto passes to Owner.

9.2 Title to Work. Title to all or any portion of the Work (other than Work Product) shall pass to Owner upon the earlier of (i) payment by Owner therefore or (ii) delivery of such Work upon the Site. Transfer of title to Work shall be without prejudice to Owner’s right to reject Defective Work, or any other right in the Contract Documents.

9.3 Risk of Loss. At all times during the effective period of this Agreement Owner shall retain any and all risk of loss or damage to the Work (including Equipment), provided that Contractor obtains and maintains the builder’s risk insurance as required under this Agreement. Whether or not Owner or Contractor insures or self-insures, Contractor is fully released from any

 

- 30 -


and all such risk, and Owner agrees to waive all of its rights and require its insurers, as applicable, to waive subrogation rights against Contractor for loss or damage to the Work, even if such damage is caused by the negligence or fault of Contractor, and not only to the extent of Owner’s or Contractor’s insurance coverage, provided that Contractor obtains and maintains the builder’s risk insurance as required under this Agreement. Contractor will protect the Work against loss or damage from and after the time the Parties mutually execute a Work Order until such Work is finally accepted by Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.3 shall not in any way be deemed to affect Contractor’s obligations under Article 12.

10.5 Unavailable Insurance. If any insurance (including the limits or deductibles thereof) hereby required to be maintained, other than insurance required by Applicable Law to be maintained, shall not be reasonably available in the commercial insurance market, Owner and Contractor shall not unreasonably withhold their agreement to waive such requirement to the extent that maintenance thereof is not so available; provided, however, that the Party shall first request any such waiver in writing from the other Party, which request shall be accompanied by written reports prepared by two (2) independent advisers, including insurance brokers, of recognized international standing certifying that such insurance is not reasonably available in the commercial insurance market (and, in any case where the required amount is not so available, explaining in detail the basis for such conclusions), such insurance advisers and the form and

WARRANTY AND CORRECTION OF WORK

12.1 Warranty.

A. General. The warranties set forth in this Article 12 are hereinafter referred to as the “Warranties” or “Warranty”. Any Work, or component thereof, that is not in conformity with any Warranty is defective (“Defective”) and contains a defect (“Defect”).

B. Warranty of Work. Contractor hereby warrants that:

1. the Equipment, and each component thereof, shall be new (unless otherwise specified in the Contract Documents) and of good quality;

2. the Work (including the Equipment) shall be in accordance with all of the requirements of the Contract Documents, including in accordance with GECP, Applicable Law and, subject to Section 3.3, Applicable Codes and Standards; and

3. the Work (including the Equipment) shall be free from encumbrances to title, as set forth in greater detail in Section 9.1.

C. Assignment and Enforcement of Subcontractor Warranties. Contractor shall obtain warranties from Subcontractors that meet or exceed the requirements of the Contract Documents; provided, however, Contractor shall not in any way be relieved of its responsibilities and liability to Owner under the Contract Documents, regardless of whether such Subcontractor warranties meet the requirements of the Contract Documents, as Contractor shall be fully responsible and liable to Owner for its Warranty and Corrective Work obligations and liability under this Agreement for all Work. All such warranties shall run to the benefit of Contractor but shall permit Contractor, prior to assignment to Owner, the right (upon mutual agreement of the Parties), to authorize Owner to deal with Subcontractor on Contractor’s behalf. Such warranties, with duly executed instruments

 

- 34 -


assigning the warranties, shall be delivered to Owner concurrent with the end of the Defect Correction Period. This Section 12.1C shall not in any way be construed to limit Contractor’s liability under the Contract Documents for the entire Work or its obligation to enforce Subcontractor warranties.

D. Exceptions to Warranty. Contractor shall have no liability to Owner, for any damage or defect to the extent caused by: (i) improper repairs or alterations, misuse, neglect or accident by Owner; (ii) operation, maintenance or use of the Facility, Work or any component thereof in a manner not in compliance with a material requirement of operation and maintenance manuals delivered by Contractor to Owner; (iii) normal wear and tear; or (iv) normal corrosion.

12.2 Defective Work. If, at any time during the period commencing upon the Work Order Effective Date and ending upon the expiration of the Defect Correction Period, any of the Work under a Work Order is found to be Defective, Contractor shall promptly correct (whether by repair, replacement or otherwise) such Defective Work and any other portions of the Work damaged by such Defective Work (the correction of the Defective Work and any portions of the Work damaged by such Defective Work is hereby defined as the “Corrective Work”). Contractor shall be reimbursed for Contractor’s Cost of Work, as determined under Attachment C, for such Corrective Work (including costs incurred by Contractor and allowable as a Cost of Work in enforcing Subcontracts), it being understood and agreed upon between the Parties that Contractor shall receive no Fee or any other form of profit or markup for the performance of any Corrective Work. Contractor may not request compensation for Cost of Work incurred by a Subcontractor to perform Corrective Work, unless the applicable Subcontract is on a cost-reimbursable basis and expressly permits such Subcontractor to be paid compensation for performing Corrective Work. If Contractor fails to commence the Corrective Work within a reasonable time not to exceed five (5) Days, or does not complete such Corrective Work on a prompt basis once commenced, then Owner has the right, but not the obligation, to perform the Corrective Work, and Contractor shall be liable to Owner for all damages, costs, losses and expenses incurred by Owner in connection with such Corrective Work. At Owner’s sole discretion, such damages, costs, losses and expenses incurred by Owner for such portion of Corrective Work shall be payable by Contractor to Owner no later than thirty (30) Days after Contractor’s receipt of Owner’s Invoice for such damages, costs, losses and expenses, or Owner may withhold payment of amounts otherwise due under the Contract Documents in the amount of such damages, costs, losses and expenses. This Section 12.2 sets forth the exclusive remedy for a breach of Warranty, except for (i) Owner’s right to terminate this Agreement, (ii) Contractor’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) Owner’s right to bring an action against Contractor, the Guarantor, Zachry and/or AMEC for Contractor’s failure to commence or complete the Corrective Work as required above.

With respect to any Corrective Work performed by Contractor, the Defect Correction Period for such Corrective Work shall be extended for an additional one (1) year from the date of the completion of such Corrective Work; provided, however, in no event shall the Defect Correction Period for any Work (including Corrective Work) extend beyond thirty-six (36) Months after final completion of the Work.

12.4 Standards for Corrective Work. All Corrective Work shall be performed subject to the same terms and conditions under the Contract Documents as the original Work is required to

 

- 35 -


be performed. In connection with the Corrective Work, any change to Equipment that would alter the requirements of the Contract Documents may be made only with prior written approval of Owner in accordance with Section 3.23.

12.5 Assignability of Warranties. The Warranties made in this Agreement shall be for the benefit of Owner and its successors and permitted assigns and the respective successors and permitted assigns of any of them, and are fully transferable and assignable.

12.6 Waiver of Implied Warranties. THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING WARRANTIES) ARE EXCLUSIVE AND THE PARTIES HEREBY DISCLAIM, AND OWNER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL STATUTORY, ORAL OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES UNDER APPLICABLE LAW (INCLUDING THE GOVERNING LAW SPECIFIED IN SECTION 20.9), INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USAGE.

Article 17

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

17.1 Negotiation. In the event that any claim, dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to the Contract Documents (including the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, and whether arising out of tort or contract) (“Dispute”) cannot be resolved informally within thirty (30) Days after the Dispute arises, either Party may give written notice of the Dispute (“Dispute Notice”) to the other Party requesting that a representative of Owner’s senior management and Contractor’s senior management meet in an attempt to resolve the Dispute. Each such management representative shall have full authority to resolve the Dispute and shall meet at a mutually agreeable time and place within fourteen (14) Days after receipt by the non-notifying Party of such Dispute Notice, and thereafter as often as they deem reasonably necessary to exchange relevant information and to attempt to resolve the Dispute. In no event shall this Section 17.1 be construed to limit either Party’s right to take any action under this Agreement, including Owner’s rights under Section 15.1.

17.2 Mediation. In the event that the management representatives are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) Days of receipt of the Dispute Notice, then either Party may request a non-binding mediation of the Dispute by providing the other Party written notice requesting mediation of the Dispute (“Mediation Request”). The mediation shall be held in Houston, Texas, unless the Parties agree otherwise, and shall be conducted before a single mediator, who shall be mutually selected by the Parties. Should the Parties be unable to agree upon a mediator within ten (10) Days of the date that the Mediation Request is received, either Party may petition the Houston, Texas office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for the appointment of a mediator, and the mediation, including the selection of the mediator, shall then occur pursuant to the AAA’s Construction Industry Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (including Procedures for Large, Complex Construction Disputes) (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect. The mediation shall be concluded within forty-five (45) Days of receipt of the Mediation Request, unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing. The Parties and the mediator shall maintain the confidentiality of the mediation and shall not rely on, or introduce as evidence in any arbitral,

 

- 47 -


judicial or other proceeding: (i) views expressed or suggestions made by either Party with respect to a possible settlement of the Dispute; (ii) admissions made by the other Party in the course of the mediation proceedings; (iii) proposals made or views expressed by the mediator; or (iv) the fact that a Party had or had not indicated a willingness to accept a proposal for settlement made by the mediator. With respect to expenses related to mediation, the expenses of witnesses for either Party shall be paid by the Party producing such witnesses; all other expenses of mediation, including required traveling, fees and other expenses of the mediator, and the expenses of any expert produced at the direct request of the mediator, shall be borne equally by the Parties unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. Mediation is an absolute condition precedent to arbitration, except (i) to the extent necessary to avoid statute of limitation issues or to preserve bond rights, or (ii) if another Dispute between the Parties is already subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 17.3. The Parties agree that if any Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) Days of the date that a Mediation Request is received, then either Party may by notice to the other Party refer the Dispute to be decided by final and binding arbitration in accordance with Section 17.3.

17.3 Arbitration. Any arbitration held under the Contract Documents shall be held in Houston, Texas, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, shall be administered by the Dallas, Texas office of the AAA and shall, except as otherwise modified by this Section 17.3, be governed by the AAA Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. The arbitrators shall determine the rights and obligations of the Parties according to the substantive law of the state of Texas, excluding its conflict of law principles, as would a court for the state of Texas; provided, however, the law applicable to the validity of the arbitration clause, the conduct of the arbitration, including resort to a court for provisional remedies, the enforcement of any award and any other question of arbitration law or procedure shall be the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C § 1, et seq. Issues concerning the arbitrability of a matter in dispute shall be decided by a court with proper jurisdiction. The Parties shall be entitled to engage in reasonable discovery, including the right to production of relevant and material documents by the opposing Party and the right to take depositions reasonably limited in number, time and place; provided that in no event shall any Party be entitled to refuse to produce relevant and non-privileged documents or copies thereof requested by the other Party within the time limit set and to the extent required by order of the arbitrators. All disputes regarding discovery shall be promptly resolved by the arbitrators. This agreement to arbitrate is binding upon the Parties, Guarantor, Contractor’s surety (if any) and the successors and permitted assigns of any of them. At either Party’s option, any other Person may be joined as an additional party to any arbitration conducted under this Section 17.3, including Guarantor, provided that the party to be joined is or may be liable to either Party in connection with all or any part of any dispute between the Parties. At Owner’s sole option, any Person may be joined as an additional party to any arbitration conducted under this Section 17.3, provided that the party to be joined is or may be liable to either Party in connection with all or any part of any Dispute between the Parties. Upon reaching a final decision, the arbitrators must render findings of fact and conclusions of law upon which the decision is based. All decisions shall be final and binding (except for any right to vacate the award as provided under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.), in writing, signed by all arbitrators, and shall state the reasons upon which the award thereof is based, and judgment may be entered on the arbitration award in any court of competent jurisdiction. The decision may include an award of attorney’ fees and costs as the arbitrators will deem reasonable. The arbitrators shall not grant any punitive damages nor any relief prohibited by or inconsistent with the terms of the Contract Documents. The Parties agree that judgment on the arbitration award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.

18.5 Equitable Relief.

18.6 Term.

  Design Basis (Schedule A-2)

 

  Scope of Work (Schedule A-1)

 

2. DESCRIPTION OF FACILITY

 

2.1 Site Development and Civil Work

 

2.1.1  Soil Improvement

Soils will be improved as required to achieve soil strength sufficient for constructing and supporting the Facility within acceptable settlement limits.

 

2.1.2  Disposal of Organic Material

Disposal of organic materials and non-structural soils from clearing and grubbing of the Site shall be placed in the landfill north of the raw water lake. Disposal of non-structural soils shall be stockpiled in Bed # 22 before closure or other areas designated by Alcoa. Organic materials shall be stockpiled, and large debris items shredded for future use by Alcoa as mulch and a slope stabilizer.

 

2.1.3  Drainage

Shiner Moseley completed a storm water study “Corpus Christi LNG Terminal Project, Drainage Study,” prepared by Harold T. Benoit, Shiner Moseley, and Michael Vecchio, MFG, Inc., dated August 2004 (the “Stormwater Study”) to confirm combined 100 year event discharges for the local water shed. The design study has been included showing the calculated runoff and ditch dimensions. Contractor shall review and validate the Stormwater Study and shall update the design storm water runoff rates from Sherwin Alumina, Alcoa and Owner. Detailed engineering

 

A-2


will be performed to ensure that the design is complete and is executed early in the Work Schedule.

Drainage of storm water runoff from the Site, main pipe rack, administration building, tank impoundment, Facility parking areas, paved roads and gravel roads shall be provided in accordance with the Site Drainage and Grading Plan Drawing C-01 to C-14 prepared by Shiner-Moseley.

 

a. Existing storm water runoff from Sherwin Alumina will be contained on the Site for internal Sherwin Alumina process use, except during very heavy rains when it will be released southeasterly through the east ditch to Reynolds Outfall # 1 to the La Quinta Channel and should not have any surface runoff to the Site. However, containment creates a condition where the groundwater elevation will be near grade in some locations. Drainage shall be provided to minimize groundwater elevation and to reduce the need for well points during construction.

 

b. The La Quinta ditch flow capacity will be inadequate to convey existing and proposed combined storm water runoff without overtopping due to silting and vegetation. The La Quinta ditch requires maintenance from TX DOT 35 to the outfall at La Quinta Channel by Contractor as required to provide adequate flow capacity. The cross sectional area of the ditch shall be cleaned and organics removed using conventional ditch hydraulic crane maintenance equipment to excavate the existing ditch dimensions to match up with typical cross sections. Removed materials shall be hauled to the organic or non-structural soil disposal area and not left on the bank.

 

c. The Site was previously over-excavated when the bauxite strategic reserve on the Site was removed. As a result, the Site contains standing surface water. Additional soil or improved drainage will be required to prevent flooding of the Site. Storm water drainage systems will be provided for proper drainage to meet the given conditions to avoid Site flooding during construction and operation of the Facility.

 

d. The Facility will be designed to provide drainage of surface water to designated areas for disposal. The Site drainage system will be designed to handle a 100-year storm event, in accordance with the current version of 49 CFR Part 193.2103. Storm water drains to the southwest corner of the LNG process area and will be routed to the Reynolds # 5 drain structure in a new storm water drainage ditch east of La Quinta Road.

 

e. Contractor shall review, validate and update the design of the spill impoundment collection system that will drain to the spill impoundment basins to be constructed as part of the EPC Agreement. (NOTE THAT ALL REFERENCES TO THE EPC AGREEMENT WITHIN THIS SCHEDULE A-1 ARE SUBJECT TO SECTION 3.1C OF THE AGREEMENT.) The impoundment basin sump pumps will routinely pump out the water collected in the spill impoundment basins into the Site drainage systems, which will ultimately discharge to the La Quinta Channel and Corpus Christi Bay. The larger capacity storm water pumps will pump out larger quantities of storm water. There will be two sets of pumps in the spill impoundment basins as follows:

 

  1. Spill impoundment basin sump pumps; and

 

A-3


  2. Storm water pumps.

 

f. A spill prevention control and countermeasures plan (“SPCC Plan”) for the construction activities will be developed in accordance with the current versions of 40 CFR Parts 122 through 124.

 

2.1.4  Site Grading and Surface Preparation

Earthworks shall be provided in accordance with the Site grading plan with original contour lines based on the Geodetix topographic aerial survey flown December 15, 2005 and report dated January 2006 and the grading and drainage design basis prepared by Shiner Moseley, (“Civil Structural Architectural” Drawings C-01 to C-14 ). Permanent surfacing material and compaction shall be provided in accordance with the Specifications.

 

  a. Contractor will validate the design elevations and soil conditions, fill and compact the proposed AEP substation and provide permanent surfacing material required to build the Facility.

 

  b. The areas within the Site required for the construction and operation of the Facility will be backfilled, leveled and graded. The existing grade is undulating with an elevation between 21.7 feet and 27 feet NGVD 29 after bauxite removal. The proposed permanent Site grade elevations of the Facility surface are shown on Shiner-Moseley Drawings C-01 to C-14 and Contractor Drawings D-149974-CC-SK-C-0110, 0111, 0112 and 0113. LNG Tank foundations, per the tank engineer’s design, shall be validated and compared to the dimensions provided in the Permits.

 

  c. Contractor shall review and confirm geotechnical reports and recommendations contained in the Geotechnical Reports. Soils within the terminal shall be improved to a strength sufficient for constructing and supporting the Facility within acceptable settlement limits.

 

  d. Contractor shall review, validate and update the road design details to be constructed as part of the EPC Agreement. The Facility roads will consist of asphalt surfaced roads. The final paving will consist of gravel surfaced area, asphalt surfaced area, concrete paved surfaces and seed and mulch area.

 

  e. The 150 foot wide easement between Bed # 22 and Bed # 24 is for installation of the main LNG pipe rack, service road, LNG transfer trough and storm water swales. The easement area shall have organic material and non-structural soil removed, backfilled, compacted and graded in accordance with plan, elevation, profiles and cross sections shown on Contractor Drawings D-149974-CC-SK-C-0110, 0111, 0112 and 0113. Main pipe rack shall be installed on structural supports.

 

  f. A security fence shall be designed for the property boundary of the Site at locations shown on Contractor Plot Plan E-149974-CC-SK-M-0100.

 

A-4


  g. To support the capping and permanent closure of the bauxite tailing beds (Bed #22 and Bed #24), Site preparation will be provided for mechanical placement and finishing of material at various stages where mechanical material placement will be provided.

 

  1. Contractor shall backfill and compact Landfill # 4 with structural soil after Alcoa removes waste from Landfill # 4 (approximately 125,000 cubic yards).

 

  2. Contractor shall provide final grading, compaction and gravel surfacing to Landfill # 4 area to be used as construction laydown.

 

  3. Contractor shall backfill and compact the pipe rack easement between Bed # 22 and Bed # 24 with structural soil (approximately 120,000 cubic yards) to prepare for construction of the main pipe rack.

 

  4. Contractor shall excavate topsoil overburden from the San Patricio Borrow Pit to Alcoa and stockpile by Bed # 22, (approximately 120,000 yards) material excavated, hauled and stockpile.

 

  5. After bauxite tailing materials from Bed # 24 is relocated by Alcoa and Bed # 22 is prepared for and closed by Alcoa, Contractor will provide final grading and shaping of the main pipe rack easement between Bed # 22 and Bed # 24 to match the grading plan.

 

2.1.5  42” Export Pipeline Interfaces

The pipeline material for the 42” export pipeline, as specified by Cheniere Corpus Christi Pipeline Company, will be procured as part of this Scope of Work.

 

2.2 Miscellaneous Facility Interfaces

 

  a. La Quinta Road Utility Corridor: The east La Quinta Road shoulder will be used as a shared, non-exclusive utility easement with agreements with both Sherwin Alumina and Alcoa for usage for 138 Kv aerial power line and 6” potable water line and the proposed 42” export pipeline. Installation of the LNG main power feed cables and potable water supply on the shoulder of La Quinta Road shall be coordinated with the 42” export pipeline installation.

 

  b. AEP Power Supply: The AEP 138 KV electrical transmission supply power line on La Quinta Road will be installed by AEP on single poles from the existing lines on TX DOT 35 to the proposed power substation for construction and permanent operation. The power poles will be installed on the east side of La Quinta Road at a nominal offset of 20”-0” east of the Sherwin Alumina/Alcoa property line.

 

  c.

Potable Water Pipeline and Interface Substation: Potable water will be required at the front end of Site mobilization for construction offices, sanitary facilities, and construction employee drinking water. Due to the construction schedule of the 42” export pipeline and other utilities, a 3” diameter temporary “out of the way” above-ground water line

 

A-5


 

shall be installed on top of the ground until after the 42” export pipeline is installed to avoid conflicts with pipeline installation. The City of Gregory has an 8” PVC potable water line running parallel to and on the south side of TX DOT 35 at the intersection with La Quinta Road. The City of Gregory will perform the water line tap on TX DOT 35 and install an 6” tie-in valve and meter to be located at the edge of highway right of way.

As part of the EPC Agreement, a proposed 6”HDPE underground potable water line will be provided as part of the contractor’s work and shall be installed underground on the east shoulder of La Quinta Road from the TX DOT 35 tie in point to the proposed potable water storage tank and booster pumps inside the Facility. Contractor is responsible for design of the 6” HDPE water line in accordance with potable water service line specifications, water substation complete with storage tanks and pumps and LNG distribution system to be constructed as part of the EPC Agreement. The 6” line size calculation is based on potable water tank refill requirements and the City of Gregory supply pressure at the meter.

 

  d. Phone, Cable, T1: Contractor’s Scope of Work under the Agreement includes providing phone and data for the Site for both Contractor and Owner team during construction.

 

  e. Construction Parking and Laydown Areas on Corpus Christi Port Authority Property: Corpus Christi Port Authority Property officials have granted permission to lease up to 46 acres on their property for construction parking and laydown areas west of the San Patricio County ditch. A lease agreement and payment for such construction parking will be Contractor’s responsibility. Contractor will take responsibility for fencing and graveling the area used for construction parking and for restoring to original condition after completion of the Work. There may be a termination clause in the lease in the event the land is required by Corpus Christi Port Authority prior to the end of the Work.

 

2.2.1  Natural Gas Pipeline Relocations

 

  a.

Gulf South Pipeline Relocation: Gulf South has an existing 2100’- 6” steel Natural Gas pipeline (the “Existing Gulf South Pipeline”) that will require, as part of Contractor’s Scope of Work, relocation to avoid interference with Site preparation activities in connection with the LNG tank foundation and dike area. The Existing Gulf South Pipeline carries natural gas at an operating pressure of 250 psig, and a maximum allowable operating pressure of 310 psig. Hot taps and stopples are required because, according to Gulf South, the Existing Gulf South Pipeline supplies several communities and cannot be taken out of service at any time. Hatch, Mott and McDonald has prepared the design, engineering, material specifications, and take-offs, which have been provided to Contractor. Contractor’s Scope of Work includes (i) removal and disposal of the Existing Gulf South Pipeline; (ii) installation of the new 6” pipeline (the “New Gulf South Pipeline”) and, (iii) placing in service the New Gulf South Pipeline without interruption. The Existing Gulf South Pipeline coating was checked and found to contain asbestos by EMSL (see report dated March 1, 2005) in the coal tar wrap. Removal of the Existing Gulf South Pipeline will require proper handling and disposal to comply with Applicable Law, Applicable Codes and Standards, and Contractor’s HSE Plan. Contractor’s Scope of Work is based on the schedule sensitivity of removing and

 

A-6


 

disposing of the Existing Gulf South Pipeline and installing and placing in service the New Gulf South Pipeline without interfering with other activities. Sherwin Alumina will be responsible for granting a new easement for the New Gulf South Pipeline in the new location. Owner has managed the survey and easement preparation. Permits with jurisdictional agencies to be provided by Owner have been obtained. Contractor shall provide any additional Permits that may be required such as storm water pollution and prevention, etc.

 

  b. CrossTex Pipeline Relocation: CrossTex has an existing 10” Natural Gas pipeline (the “Existing CrossTex Pipeline”) installed north across Corpus Christi Bay that crosses the dredge spoil island and La Quinta Channel and makes landfall through the V-Ditch to an above-ground pig trap north of La Quinta Road. From the pig trap, the Existing CrossTex Pipeline is installed north across Sherwin Alumina property to the tie-in of the existing 16” CrossTex pipeline in pipeline alley on Sherwin Alumina property. In its current location, the Existing CrossTex Pipeline would interfere with both dredging activities and Site preparation Work and must be rearranged for the Work to proceed in accordance with the Work Schedule. Contractor shall manage all aspects of the relocation and removal of the Existing CrossTex Pipeline and installation of a new 10” pipeline (the “New CrossTex Pipeline”). Portions of the Existing CrossTex Pipeline located on the Site and the La Quinta Channel shall be taken out of service and physically removed. Approximately 3000 feet of the abandoned Existing CrossTex Pipeline and service lateral located on the Sherwin Alumina property shall also be physically removed and disposed of in accordance with Applicable Law and Applicable Codes and Standards. The Existing CrossTex Pipeline shall be terminated just north of the spoil island. Contractor will install the approximately 6,000-foot New CrossTex Pipeline by performing a directional drill from the north side of the La Quinta Channel to intersect and tie-in to the existing 10” CrossTex line located to the south of the spoils island. When the tie-in is made to the existing 10” line, Contractor will install a pig trap and make the final tie-in to the existing 16” CrossTex line located to the west and across La Quinta ditch on Sherwin Alumina property. Hatch, Mott and McDonald has performed the engineering and prepared material specifications. This information has been provided to Contractor. Permits with jurisdictional agencies to be provided by Owner have been obtained. Contractor shall provide any additional Permits that may be required such as storm water pollution and prevention, etc.

 

  c.

Removal of Royal Production Facilities: Royal Production (“Royal”) has at least one offshore production well. A 2” and 6” gathering pipeline from that production well enters the Site from the south from La Quinta Channel and makes landfall through the V-Ditch to the condensate tanks and equipment area located onshore south of La Quinta Road, and a 4” pipeline connects the treatment facility to the Existing 10” CrossTex Pipeline at the pig trap north of La Quinta Road. Prior to mobilization in connection with the dredging Work, Royal will remove their pipeline facilities and the above ground condensate tanks and equipment, and plug and abandon the production well. Hatch, Mott and McDonald has performed the engineering and prepared material specifications and take-offs. Permits with jurisdictional agencies to be provided by Owner have been

 

A-7


 

obtained. Contractor has no responsibility in connection with the removal of the Royal facilities, beyond granting access to the area and coordination of Work activities.

 

2.2.2  Relocations Other Than Gas Pipelines

 

  a. Sherwin Alumina HDPE Water Piping: Contractor’s Scope of Work will include (i) relocation and removal of existing 1-20” X 4000’ HDPE raw water line, 1-20” X 3600’ HDPE raw water line, 1-20” X 2600’ HDPE sump pipeline, and 1-20” X 2600’ storm water pipeline and (ii) installation of new 20” HDPE lines. These existing lines are Plexco HDPE 3408 20” diameter (SDR 11) 160 psi rated pipe that provide process water for the Sherwin Alumina plant and will require continuous service throughout the relocation, except for a 2-hour shutdown for tie-overs. New 20” HDPE pipe will be installed and existing HDPE lines removed and retired after the new lines are placed in service.

 

  b. Raw Water Electrical Feeders: Power poles and electrical wires will be relocated and installed on new power poles with new electrical cables as part of Contractor’s Scope of Work. These power lines provide electricity to process water pumps for the Sherwin Alumina plant and require continuous service throughout the relocation with one operating and one spare. The spare feeder may be de-energized for up to 4 days to make the changeover and then the energized feeder may be taken out of service for a second 4 day changeover period. The electrical feeders are 4160 VAC 60 Hz 3 phase that power two each 400 HP raw water pumps, one operating and one spare. However, during pump swaps, both pumps will be operating (although one at a reduced HP). The feeder size is 1/0 aluminum. Splices are acceptable. Relocated feeders shall be above ground pole supported with insulated conductors. There is also a small telephone cable on the power poles routed beneath the electrical feeders. This cable is no longer in service and has been severed at both ends by the telephone company. This cable shall be removed along with the feeders and poles.

 

  c. Removal of Abandoned Sherwin Alumina Pipelines: Contractor’s Scope of Work will include removal of the following Sherwin Alumina abandoned above ground steel pipelines, as required, that may be currently located on portions of the Site and Sherwin Alumina property (to the extent such have not already been removed by Sherwin Alumina): 2-12” X 3000’, 1-14” X 3000’, 2-16”X 3000’ and 2 Sherwin Alumina above ground HDPE pipelines 1-20”X 4000’ and 1-20”X 2700’to be abandoned after the new 20” HDPE pipelines are in service.

 

  d. La Quinta Construct Dock Access Road Relocations: The existing La Quinta Road off TX DOT 35 will become the main entrance road to the Facility. Currently, La Quinta Road is the main access to the Sherwin Alumina docks, and will no longer be accessible for Sherwin Alumina use once construction of the new dock road is complete. A new road is proposed as part of Contractor’s Scope of Work from the main Sherwin Alumina parking lot to the intersection with La Quinta Road. This Work will, as authorized in a Work Order, be started early in the construction schedule to allow for rerouting Sherwin Alumina dock employee traffic out of the construction areas.

 

A-8


The new road pavement shall be 22’ wide, nominal elevation of 26’ NGVD 29, with asphalt surface capable of loads from 150 ton truck cranes. The new road shall have chain link fence parallel the road on the inside boundary and on a small part of the outside boundary at the north end of the road. Three remote actuated slide gates shall be installed and monitored with environment protected color cameras and gates remotely controlled from the existing front guard gate. Two manual swing gates are proposed at other locations along the roadway. Contractor shall install underground fiber optics and power cables along the new road to control the gates and connect the cameras to an existing 16 channel control unit at the main guard gate using communications hardware consistent with existing security system controls.

Exhibit C.4 – Prioritized Initiative #1

This Exhibit is intended to provide clarification to items of cost related to Owner. The specific practices addressed include the following:

 

OCRP-1

 

Contractor Vehicles

OCRP-2

 

Relocation Costs

OCRP-3

 

Per Diem

OCRP-4

 

Cost of Living Allowance (COLA)

OCRP-5

 

Supplemental Pay Practices for extended Work Schedules

OCPR-1 Contractor Vehicles

1. Contractor pickup trucks will be provided to the following classifications

 

    Project Manager

 

    General Field Superintendent

 

    Craft Superintendent

 

    Project Safety Manager

Cost of these vehicles is reimbursable as part of the Work.

OCRP-2 RELOCATION COSTS

 

  1. Reimbursement of reasonable temporary relocation expense is paid, with receipts, for salaried project staff. This reimbursement is intended to provide for the cost of transporting personal effects and household items to temporary jobsites. Payment descriptions on expense reports for the cost of transporting personal effects to temporary job sites should be “reimbursement of temporary relocation expenses”, and must be supported by mileage logs, meals, lodging and moving trailer rental receipts. Hired moves will be arranged by Contractor Employee Relations Dept. The employee may be eligible for per diem if he or she meets all the requirements described in OCPR-3 “Per Diem”.

 

  2. General Foreman and Business Unit approved Pay Code 2 (SALARIED NON-EXEMPT) support will receive a $1,500 maximum travel allowance. See item 1 for the requirements for reimbursement application.

 

  3. Foreman will receive a $500 maximum travel allowance. See item 1 for the requirements for reimbursement application.


OCPR-3 Per Diem

 

  1. Per Diems are paid to salaried staff if the employee meets the eligibility requirements of the “Assignment Status Questionnaire” (Attachment 1)

 

  2. Per Diem eligibility for claiming duplicating expenses must be supported by providing 2 of the following documents establishing the location of the permanent residence:

 

  a. Mortgage documents

 

  b. Electricity bill

 

  c. Water bill

 

  d. Gas bill

 

  e. Property Tax statement

 

  f. Lease documents

 

  g. Other-no more than 1 of the proofs can be from this category.

 

  3. Per Diems are paid to General Foreman and Foreman if the employee meets the eligibility requirements of the “Assignment Status Questionnaire” (Attachment 1), and the specific project has established that Per Diem will be paid to journeyman level craftspeople.

 

  4. Per Diem may be either taxable or non-taxable. This determination is made based upon the answers provided by the employee on the “Assignment Status Questionnaire” (Attachment 1).

 

  5. The amount of the Per Diem for any project is as specified by the Business Unit based an analysis by Runzheimer. (EXHIBIT C.9).

 

  6. Payment of Per Diem to salaried staff requires prior approval of the Project Director.

 

  7. Per Diems are established as being on a monthly or daily basis only.

 

  8. Per Diems in lieu of moving expenses are not allowed if the employee has moved his permanent residence.

 

  9. All Per Diem payments are taxable wages to all eligible employees when it is reasonably expected that the employees’ job at a particular location will extend beyond one year.

 

  10. At a minimum, the Project Manager, General Field Superintendent, Project Administrator, Business Manager, Project Controls Manager, MMS Manager and Project Construction Coordinator are expected to have assignments lasting more than one year on a project with duration longer than one year.


  11. Copies of the “Assignment Status Questionnaire” form (Attachment 1) can be obtained from the Business Unit Business Manager or the CONTRACTOR Intranet (ARM forms bank)

OCRP-4 COST OF LIVING ALLOWANCES (COLAS)

 

1. In general, a COLA may be provided to a salaried employee that has relocated to their job assignment.

 

2. The COLA amount is intended to provide employees with additional compensation to help offset the anticipated higher costs of living based on that assignment.

 

3. COLA is always determined by the BU Management and may include amounts for State Income Taxes and other costs associated with their assignment.

 

4. The COLA amount, if applied, may vary by project site.

 

5. The COLA amount is in addition to Per Diem. When working on a project outside of Texas, some employees may receive Per Diem and COLA, while others will receive only COLA. The eligibility of each of these elements is determined irrespective of the qualification of the other element.

 

6. Business Unit Management must approve payment of a COLA to any salaried staff employee.

 

7. The COLA amount is always taxable wages.


OCPR-5 Supplemental Pay practices for Salaried Employees

1. It is recognized that salaried supervisors may be eligible for supplemental compensation when working extended schedules. This compensation will be presented upon recognition of impact.

Runzheimer International

Long-Term Per Diem Program

RUNZHEIMERS INTERNATIONAL SHORT AND LONG TERM PER DIEMS

Runzheimer’s International Short-Term Per Diem Allowance Programs, for assignments of 30 days to five months, and Long-Term Per Diem Allowance Program, for assignments lasting six month up to one year, help companies identify and budget for these anticipated costs.

Both reports are designed to achieve a “home-away-from-home” atmosphere for the employee. Runzheimer customizes reports to Contractor specifications. Multiple combinations are possible, based on information that you supply: work site, family size, type of accommodation (furnished or unfurnished), length of stay, and personal expenses.

RESEARCH:

Runzheimer researches costs for a multitude of items such as:

 

    Housing

 

    Meals (food away from home)

 

    Furniture rental

 

    Recurring services for utilities such as gas, electric, basic telephone.

The Per Diem report provides recommended allowances for each of these items. It may be ordered for all standard U.S. locations, and nonstandard locations can be costed based on availability of data.

TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS

All Contractor travel arrangements (air, car and hotel) must be made through Contractor Travel either with an on-site agent, Orbitz for Business - the Contractor web based travel-booking product or the Contractor SWABIZ site (available via the Orbitz for Business web site).

 

    Contractor Travel is described as one of the following:

 

    Orbitz for Business is the Contractor interactive web-based travel-booking product to be used for all domestic travel. You may access the site 24 hours a day at www.orbitzforbusiness.com. Travel may be booked, changed or canceled through the site or via Orbtiz’s business line at 877-672-4891.

There is a $5 transaction fee for each airline ticket that is issued through this service. There are no transaction fees for hotel of car rental reservations. This transaction fee will be charged to the traveler’s credit card. If the traveler elects to use the Orbitz 800# service center to book travel there will be a $15 per itinerary transaction fee in addition to the $5 booking transaction fee for a maximum total of $20 per itinerary.

Contractor SWABIZ is the Southwest Airlines web-based travel-booking service for Southwest Airline reservations only. You may access this account through the Contractor Orbitz for Business site: www.orbitzforbusiness.com Hotel and car reservations should be made through Orbitz.

 

    Travel Agents are available for International travel and complicated domestic travel from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday at (210) 475-8075. The after hours emergency hotline number is (800) 847-0242 within the US and Canada or (313) 271-7887 outside the US. It is $17.00 per call to the hotline number.

There is a $35 transaction fee for each airline ticket that is issued through the travel agent. Hotel or car rental reservations not booked with an air ticket will be accessed a $10 transaction fee.

CORPORATE CHARGE CARD

 

    The Contractor Corporate Card must be used for all major travel related expenses. In the event a traveling employee does not possess a Contractor Corporate charge card, the Contractor Travel Agent or the designated person at each site/department will make the necessary arrangements. Travelers will be reimbursed for incidental out of pocket expenses through the online expense management system (Captura). The timely review and submission of travel expenses is the responsibility of the employee.

 

    Corporate charge card applications may be obtained by contacting Corporate Services at the Corporate Office or the Contractor Intranet/Forms.

Exhibit C.5 – Travel Policy for Construction

 

EXPENSE REPORTS

 

    Expenses should be submitted in a timely manner through Captura. The review and submission process must be completed within three weeks of the date of expense to avoid email notification to both submitter and manager.

 

    The submission must include the Contractor Travel Itinerary, air travel receipts, mileage logs, and all other expense documentation.

 

    Original receipts must support all reimbursement requests greater than $10.

 

    It is the responsibility of the employee to submit original receipts. The expense report and receipts must be packaged in the specially designed yellow envelopes, and received by the Corporate Office General Accounting department within 10 days of the approved expense date. Every effort must be made to obtain an original receipt. A hand written explanation will be required for missing receipts. Do not use a universal receipt form to “simulate” a receipt. During the post audit check, any expense submissions without proper support will be noted. The employee will be notified. If proper support is not received, an adjusting entry will be made and the amount deducted from the employee’s check.

 

    Tips must be added to meals (on the receipt) or to the expense item to which they relate. Please limit tips to 15%.

 

    Expense claims should be supported by the detailed sales receipt, rather than the summarized credit card charge slip.

 

    Exceptions for items outside this policy will require an explanation and the approving manager must seek corporate officer approval. These requests should be made in advance when possible.

 

    Exceptions to items defined in this policy require an explanation and can be approved by the approving manager.

 

    If the approving manager is uncertain about an exception, they should seek corporate officer approval.

 

    Any corporate credit card expense item that is identified as personal will be deducted from the employee’s check up to $400 per week.

Exhibit C.5 – Travel Policy for Construction

 

ADVANCES

 

    Travel advances must be limited to occasions such as overseas travel or when the employee does not have a company-sponsored charge card. Travel advances should be requested at least 48 hours in advance and be limited to excessive cash expenses. These anticipated expenses should not include travel expenses such as air, car and hotel. Check with the division/department/site for travel approval and arrangements.

 

    All travel advances will be charged to the employee’s travel advance account (136.01). Travel advances must be deducted from the employee’s expense submission for that trip. Any excess not collected from the expense submission will be payroll deducted or can be paid by the employee with a money order or personal check. If the expenses are not reconciled and deducted from the employee’s 136 account within three weeks of the trip completion date, the employee will be notified. If the balance is not cleared in a timely manner after notification, the 136 balance will be deducted from the employee’s payroll check.

TRANSPORTATION

Commercial Air

 

    Do not book travel on-line directly with an airline, hotel or car rental company.

 

    All arrangements for airline travel are to be made either through Orbitz for Business (domestic travel) or through Contractor Travel onsite agent (international). Also, the use of SWABIZ is available via the Contractor link on the Contractor’s group Orbitz home page or you may go directly to the Contractor SWABIZ page at http://www.swabiz.com/cgi-bin/buildItinerary2?cid=99881202.

 

    All air travel should be booked as far in advance as possible to take advantage of available discounts.

 

    Domestic air travel will be booked at coach fare.

 

    For international travel to an existing project or related to an approved project pursuit, written approval of the appropriate Division Vice President is required in advance of travel. Additional requirements, such as written trip reports, may be implemented by the appropriate Division.

 

    For international travel not related to an existing project or an approved project pursuit, written approval of the President is required.

 

    Business class travel will be considered only for international flights of over four hours and only for management personnel. Business class travel must be approved in advance, and in writing, by the appropriate Division Vice President.

    Upgrades will not be reimbursed.

 

    Unused airline tickets must be applied to future Business travel via the Orbitz for Business site or the onsite Contractor Travel Department depending on how the tickets were booked.

 

    E-ticket travel requires proper support, including receipts obtained at the airline ticket gate.

 

    Contractor Travel onsite agents and Orbitz for Business will search for the lowest airfare available within one hour before and after the requested departure time as well as considering alternative airports for substantial cost savings.

Corporate Air

 

    Contact the Contractor Hangar for authorized use and guidelines.

 

    Commercial travel should be the first consideration for short trips.

 

    Corporate air should only be used when it is economically advantageous.

Personal Vehicle Use

 

    When employees use their personal vehicles for authorized business trips, they will be reimbursed based on the current IRS mileage rate for business miles driven (the rate is maintained in Captura).

 

    An appropriate mileage log, MapQuest, YahooMaps, etc. mileage documentation for the trip, or use of the comments field on the expense submission is required.

 

    The employee will not be reimbursed for fuel, oil changes, or any other vehicle maintenance item.

Car Rental

 

    All arrangements for car rentals are to be made through Orbitz for Business or the Contractor Travel onsite agent.

 

    Full size (Enterprise) or Intermediate size (Hertz) cars should be rented when four people or fewer are traveling. Groups larger than four should use the most economical class of car available that can accommodate the group.

Exhibit C.5 – Travel Policy for Construction

 

    Upgrades will not be reimbursed.

 

    Enterprise Rent-A-Car is the primary car rental supplier for Contractor, Hertz is the secondary carrier. The Corporate Discount Rate includes required insurance coverage in the continental United States. One way rentals are not covered by our contract and require insurance. Collision and loss damage waiver should be denied when renting from Enterprise or Hertz in the continental United States, unless renting a one way rental. When traveling outside the United States or renting from another carrier other than Enterprise or Hertz, the loss damage waivers must be accepted.

 

    If renting from any supplier other than Enterprise or Hertz, accept insurance coverage.

 

    Employees should replenish gasoline in rental cars prior to turning them in to avoid excessive refueling charges by the rental companies.

Miscellaneous Transportation

 

    Parking, shuttle service and taxis will be reimbursed with receipts.

Contractor owned vehicles

 

    Under no circumstances will Contractor-owned vehicles be taken outside the United States.

HOTEL/MOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS

 

    All hotel/motel reservations are made through Orbitz for Business or the Contractor Travel onsite agent.

 

    There is a $120 daily room rate limit (plus tax). Any amount higher than $120 will be noted as an exception on a report from Captura. This limit does not include taxes. An explanation is required for charges over the limit due to travel to a higher cost locale.

 

    Promptly notify either the hotel/motel or Contractor Travel of cancellations to avoid “no show” charges. “No show” charges are not reimbursable except under special circumstances and with the approval of an appropriate Corporate Officer.

MEALS/ENTERTAINMENT

Business Meals

 

    The Contractor will reimburse necessary and reasonable business meals.

LOGO

Exhibit C.5 – Travel Policy for Construction

 

    When dining with others, it is necessary to detail in the expense report each person’s name and company affiliation and a statement of the specific business purpose. These entertainment provisions apply to all business guests, Contractor employees and Contractor employee spouses/guests, etc.

Personal Meals

 

    Meal expenses while traveling should not exceed $35 per day per employee, unless authorized by an appropriate Corporate Officer. Please refer to the IRS guidelines for the meal allowance rate for large city rates.

 

    Please limit tips to 15%.

    Personal phone calls are reimbursable up to two (2) 10-minute calls per day.

 

    Passport/visa applications are reimbursable at cost for business travel.

 

    Travel expenses for a spouse are not reimbursable as a business expense unless it can be shown that the spouse’s presence was both essential and directly related to the effective accomplishment of Contractor business. In these limited instances, the employee must obtain written approval in advance from their immediate supervisor, and from the next level higher of management. Unapproved spouse travel expenses are to be indicated on the expense report and labeled as personal expenses for deduction out of the employees next paycheck.

 

    Childcare, pet care and/or house sitting expenses are not reimbursable.

CONTRACTOR (TITLE):

   PROJ. MGR. APPROVAL:    Hosny Mohamed    DISCIPLINE:    Human Resources

    US Human Resources Manager

         BUSINESS UNIT:    General Usage
   CONTRACTOR APPROVAL:    Mary Arnold    OFFICE:    Atlanta

 

1 GENERAL

The following guidelines apply to all employees except those hired locally at the site for a project:

 

1.1 The purpose of this guideline is to establish provisions for consistent handling of field assignments and interoffice loans. It does not apply to field visits to gather design information.

 

1.2 The intent of this guideline applies to all employees without reference to the terms and conditions which may exist between the Contractor and the Owner or between Contractor offices.

 

1.3 Arrangements such as reporting date, location of assignment, reporting relationships, scope of work, nature of responsibility, duration of assignment and other general conditions must be coordinated between the Site/Project Manager and the employee’s supervisor. The employee’s supervisor is responsible for assisting the employee in understanding the assignment and resolving any confusion.

 

1.4 The Site/Project Manager is responsible for the coordination and execution of all field assignments and will confirm assignments by copy of the Human Resources Action Form.

 

1.5 All field assignments are subject to approval by the appropriate Project Manager or the JV Project Executive.

 

1.6 Travel time will be paid for initial trip to site and return from site after completion of assignment. Time will not be paid for home visitations during assignment.

 

1.7 Employee will not be paid for working more than 12 hours in one day without prior approval of the Site/Project Manager.

 

2 SHORT TERM ASSIGNMENTS (Duration 3 Months or less)

Short term assignments are normally projected for three months or less, but longer than a routine project visit. A routine project visit is four weeks or less.

All staff members are responsible for ensuring that they are using the correct revision of this document.

REV. NO.:    02 (24.May.99)    INTEROFFICE LOANS
PROJECT NO.:    151252   

 

2.1 Employees on short term assignments are paid for their lodging, transportation from the office to the site and an agreed upon per diem rate for meals, laundry, phone calls, parking and site transportation costs. An appropriate mode of transportation at the site will be determined by the Site/Project Manager. Human Resources will review these arrangements with employees prior to departure for the site. Home visits will be allowed as required but not more frequently than once every two weeks. Travel time will not be paid for home visits.

 

2.2 All time worked is paid at the employee’s regular rate.

 

2.3 This guideline applies for interoffice loans as well as field assignments.

 

2.4 Tax withholding will remain as is at home office.

 

2.5 Sixty (60) days after the assignment begins the Project Manager must review the assignment designation to determine the end date for the assignment or to re-designate it as an extended assignment.

 

3 EXTENDED ASSIGNMENT (Duration greater than three months but nine months or less)

 

3.1 Employees on an extended assignment will be paid an agreed upon per diem, which is project/site sensitive, for meals and incidentals. All employees assigned to the project will receive the same per diem. An appropriate mode of transportation at the site will be determined by the Site/Project Manager.

 

3.2 A premium of 10% of the employee’s salary will be paid for all hours worked for the duration of the field assignment. (However, employees on an extended assignment as an interoffice loan will be paid at their regular rate.) Employees who earn time and one half for overtime at their home office will continue to receive that rate for overtime hours.

 

3.3 Weekly time/billing sheets are to be filled out and approved weekly by the Site/Project Manager and submitted to the employee’s supervisor for submittal to Accounting.

 

3.4 Taxes will be withheld in the state of assignment. Employees assigned to a higher tax state will be given a 2% salary adjustment to defray the additional tax expense.

 

3.5 Frequency of home visits will be based upon the employee’s work schedule and personal preference, and as approved by the project manager or the JV executive manager.

 

3.6 In the event a “short term” assignment is re-designated an “extended” assignment, the terms and conditions of the extended assignment become effective on the date determined by the Project Manager. The terms and conditions of the extended assignment are not made retroactively.

 

4 HOLIDAY PREMIUM

Employees on field assignment are subject to the holiday schedule of the Owner. The Owner’s holiday schedule replaces the Contractor holiday schedule. If job requirements

dictate working, employees will receive their normal scheduled hours for the holiday plus regular rate for hours worked.

 

5 COMPLETION OF ASSIGNMENT

When an employee completes his assignment in a particular location, the Site/Project Manager shall coordinate his return to the home office or reassignment to a new project site. If an employee leaves the Contractor’s employ during the assignment, or is terminated for cause, the Contractor will not be responsible for any additional expenses.

 

6 WORK SCHEDULE

    20 hours in one 24-hour period or in conformance with the project site’s policy, if less.

Delay in giving notice as provided in this paragraph 1 shall not in any way relieve or diminish the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee.

5. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) notice of any of the matters referred to in paragraph 4 hereof; and (ii) any requirement to exhaust any remedies against Contractor, AMEC E&C or Zachry Construction Corporation resulting from failure of performance or payment by the Contractor under the Contract or by any other person under the terms of the Contract.

The Beneficiary may also assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in this Guarantee to any of the Beneficiary’s lenders by giving written notice to the Guarantor, provided that such assignment, pledge and/or grant is in accordance with the terms of the Contract.

8. This Guarantee is subject to and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of Texas, United States of America, without giving effects to the principles thereof relating to conflicts of law.

 

9. This Guarantee contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and incorporates any and all prior agreements and commitments with respect thereto. No change, amendment or modification of the terms of this Guarantee shall be valid or binding upon the parties hereto unless such change, amendment or modification is in writing and duly executed by both parties hereto in the form of an amendment.
