Notes:
1 This is a BWS-designated Governmental Approval and for purposes of this subsection/table the corresponding Governmental Approval Application Date shall be deemed to be the date of issuance of the Notice to Proceed with the Development Period by the BWS.
2 This is a BWS-designated Governmental Approval and for purposes of this subsection/table the corresponding Governmental Approval Application Date shall be deemed to be the date when the DBOM Contractor submits to the BWS the pump design portion of the permit application. The licensed contractor will need to participate or sign the pump installation application and submit documentation needed to complete the permit application.
3 This is a BWS-designated Governmental Approval and for purposes of this subsection/table the corresponding Governmental Approval Application Date shall be deemed to be the date when the DBOM Contractor submits to the BWS the information on the anticipated wastewater flows and durations, characteristics, quality and content needed to submit the documentation necessary to support DOB’s determination to allow temporary use of the Existing UIC Well for the Pilot Study discharge.
Except as set forth below in this subsection, the Scheduled Acceptance Date shall be adjusted to account for the number of days of delay by a Governmental Body in issuing any required Governmental Approval listed in Table 7.4 of this Section beyond the Assumed Approval Issuance Date, reduced by:
Any adjustment under this subsection shall be limited to the number of days any such Governmental Body delay actually causes delay in the DBOM Contractor’s critical path completion schedule after the exercise of all commercially reasonable mitigation efforts by the DBOM Contractor. In addition, the DBOM Contractor shall be entitled to an adjustment of the Fixed Design-Build Price determined pursuant to Section 19.4 (Schedule Relief and Related Price Relief) for the number of days of delay caused by the applicable Governmental Body, as calculated in accordance with this subsection. The DBOM Contractor shall bear the burden of proving any claim of entitlement to an adjustment under this Section, and shall promptly and regularly inform the BWS as matters arise which may culminate in any such claim in order to permit timely intervention by the BWS should it so elect. The DBOM Contractor has assumed in its Project Schedule that Governmental Approvals to be obtained from the City and County of Honolulu, Department of Planning and Permitting, Site Development Division (the “City DPP”) will be issued under a “one time review” process. If the City DPP does not undertake a “one time review” process with respect to any Governmental Approval under its jurisdiction, then any delay associated with obtaining the applicable Governmental Approval from the City DPP beyond the Assumed Approval Issuance Date as a result of the City DPP’s decision to not

The calculation of each Record Adjustment pursuant to this item (4) shall be reflected in a Contract Administration Memorandum. The parties acknowledge that each PPI is subject to a one-time revision four months after original publication. Accordingly, the parties will review each PPI four months after the Materials Cost Adjustment Date to determine if the index value for the applicable Materials Cost Adjustment Date has been revised. In the event of any such revision, the applicable Record Adjustment shall be revised through the execution of a subsequent Contract Administration Memorandum to reflect the revised PPI for the Materials Cost Adjustment Date. If the BWS issues any limited Notice to Proceed under subsection 6.8(C) (BWS Issuance of Limited Notice to Proceed), then for purposes of calculation of each Record Adjustment pursuant to this item (4) with respect to that portion of any Baseline Cost Amounts applicable to the Design-Build Work authorized to be performed pursuant to such limited Notice to Proceed:
(i) | Such portion of any Baseline Cost Amounts shall be subtracted from the amount specified in Table 10.1 below; |

In the event the Officer-in-Charge finds that the progress is not satisfactory, the Officer-in-Charge may continue to make progress payments to the DBOM Contractor for a sum equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of each construction drawdown payment, less previous payments and sums withheld by the BWS pursuant to this Service Agreement until such time as the DBOM Contractor achieves satisfactory progress. The five percent (5%) withheld from the previous payments prior to any such reduction in retainage after the first fifty percent (50%) of the Design-Build Work has been completed and progress is satisfactory shall continue to be retained by the BWS. The BWS shall release to the DBOM Contractor the accumulated funds retained from all prior drawdown payments (excluding interest) after Acceptance has occurred pursuant to Article 9 (Commissioning, Testing, Acceptance and Final Completion); provided, however, that to the extent items are contained on the Final Punch List, the BWS or the Project Manager shall reasonably estimate the cost to make each correction or to complete each such item and the BWS shall be entitled to withhold from payment of the retained funds an amount equal to 150% the aggregate value of such items, in addition to the amount of unresolved or unbonded claims by third parties or Encumbrances in connection with the Design-Build Work. Upon Final Completion, and so long as the authority contained in the Governmental Approvals to operate the Project remains unimpaired, the BWS shall release to the DBOM Contractor all remaining retained funds, excluding any interest accrued on the amount of the retained funds which interest shall be for the account of the BWS. Upon written request from the DBOM Contractor, if the completion of the Design-Build Work is being delayed by an Uncontrollable Circumstance through no fault of the DBOM Contractor, the DBOM Contractor may request the release of all or part of the amount withheld. The Contracting Officer, upon recommendation of the Officer-in-Charge, may make additional payments from the amount withheld to the extent that such amount withheld is not required for the protection of the BWS. The Contracting Officer may require the DBOM Contractor to submit tax clearances from the State and Internal Revenue Service and Surety clearance as a condition to the release of any retention. The DBOM Contractor may request, and the Contracting Officer, upon recommendation of the Officer-in-Charge, may enter into, an agreement to allow the DBOM Contractor to withdraw from time to time the whole or any portion of the sums retained as set forth above upon depositing with the Contracting Officer any general obligation bond of the State or its political subdivisions with a market value not less than the sum to be withdrawn; provided that the Contracting Officer may require that the total market value of such bond be greater than the sum to be withdrawn.

The BWS shall not be bound by any such certification and shall have the independent right to make its own determination with respect to any matter certified by any proposed assignee pursuant to this subsection.

The approval of any assignment, transfer or conveyance shall not operate to release the DBOM Contractor in any way from any claims already made against the DBOM Contractor under this Service Agreement unless such approval specifically provides otherwise. Any such approval of assignment shall be conditioned upon the assignee expressly agreeing to assume all obligations of the DBOM Contractor under this Service Agreement, including remedying any breaches that occurred prior to such assignment whether known or unknown at the time of assignment.
