Sch 1-3

2.2 Valuation and Payments for Reductions or Avoided Costs SCHEDULE 1 DBFM AGREEMENT If a Change Order involves any reduction in the Project, the Project Requirements, the M&R, or the M&R Requirements, and results in net savings in costs (in the context of a reduction in the Project or the Project Requirements having regard, without limitation, to any reasonable make whole premiums, hedging or other breakage costs, or prepayment fees and all reasonable redemption implementation costs reasonably incurred by the Contractor as a result of any adjustments to debt service payments that are directly attributable and limited to the reduction in the Project or Project Requirements) to the Contractor for completing the Project or performing the Project Requirements, the M&R, or the M&R Requirements, then the value of all such savings shall be reflected in a lump sum payment to the Province or in adjustments to the Capital Payments and/or the M&R Payments to the extent as determined by the parties, acting reasonably. The Contractor shall not be entitled to claim for any losses, costs or damages for fixed overhead or profit due to the reduction, deletion or removal of any part of the Project, the Project Requirements, the M&R, or the M&R Requirements, except to the extent that any of such amounts would have been incurred by the Contractor and included in the Capital Payments or M&R Payments payable by the Province after the date on which the Project, the Project Requirements, the M&R, and/or M&R Requirements are reduced, deleted or removed. 3. CHANGE ORDER ENQUIRY PROCESS 3.1 Initiating a Change Order Enquiry If the Province wishes to propose a Change Order it shall deliver to the Contractor a Change Order Enquiry. The Change Order Enquiry shall describe the proposed Change Order with sufficient detail to enable the Contractor to prepare an Estimate. If the Province would be required by applicable law or interprovincial agreements to require the Contractor to seek invitational tenders or to competitively tender any contract in relation to the proposed Change Order, then the Province may include in the Change Order Enquiry a requirement that the Contractor seek and evaluate invitational tenders or quotations, or seek and evaluate competitive tenders, for the proposed Change Order in preparing the Estimate. 3.2 Contractor s Delivery of Estimate As soon as practicable and in any event not more than 15 Business Days after receipt of a Change Order Enquiry, or such longer period as the parties acting reasonably mutually agree, the Contractor shall deliver to the Province an Estimate prepared in accordance with and meeting the requirements of Section 3.3. If the Contractor is of the reasonable opinion that the accuracy of the Estimate will benefit from certain third party design work or third party detailed cost estimating (excluding design work or detailed cost estimating done by the subcontractors listed in Schedule 17 (Subcontractors)) (the Third Party Input ), the Contractor may propose to the Sch 1-4

Province that the Third Party Input be arranged by the Contractor at the Province s expense. If the Province gives its written agreement to such proposal, which written agreement may be expressly subject to any terms and conditions that the Province deems appropriate, then such Third Party Input expenses shall be paid by the Province whether or not the Change Order Enquiry is ultimately withdrawn, or deemed to have been withdrawn, by the Province. In deciding to give its written agreement, the Province shall give consideration to the reasonableness of the Third Party Input expenses and the reasonableness of the assurances given by the Contractor that the sum of the Estimate with the Third Party Input plus the Third Party Input expenses may be materially less than an Estimate without the Third Party Input. 3.3 Estimate Requirements The Estimate shall include such of the following information as is applicable, sufficient to demonstrate to the Province's reasonable satisfaction: (i) (ii) the steps the Contractor will take to implement the Change Order, in such detail as is reasonable and appropriate in all the circumstances; any impact on School Availability and Total Availability and any impact on the Contractor s Construction Schedule (failure to provide this information with the Estimate will disallow the Contractor from claiming compensation from the Province for delays to School Availability for any School or delays to Total Availability resulting from the Change Order); (iii) an estimate of and explanation for the reasonable incremental financing costs and reasonable breakage costs or make whole premiums on financing; (iv) (v) (vi) any impact on the Contractors ability to perform the M&R including any impact on the M&R Payment; any impact on Accessibility; any subcontractors required in addition to or in substitution for those listed in Schedule 17 (Subcontractors); (vii) the estimated Total Cost of Materials and Labour, Overhead Cost and profit attributable to the Change Order; (viii) any permits that are required to be obtained or amended attributable to the Change Order, and the estimated time for obtaining or amending same; (ix) (x) the proposed methods of certification of any Project Requirements or M&R Requirements required by the Change Order if not currently contemplated within the provisions of the DBFM Agreement; and any other impact of the Change Order on the DBFM Agreement; in each case, together with such supporting information and justification as is Sch 1-5

reasonably required. In preparing an Estimate, the Contractor shall include sufficient information to demonstrate that: (i) (ii) the Contractor has used commercially reasonable efforts, including the use of invitational tenders or competitive tenders if appropriate or required, to oblige its subcontractors to minimize any increase in costs and to maximize any reduction in costs; the full amount of any and all expenditures that have been reduced or avoided have been taken into account and applied in total to reduce the amount of all Change Order costs; (iii) the Contractor has mitigated or will mitigate the impact of the Change Order, including on the Contractor s Construction Schedule for completion of the Project and the performance of the M&R Requirements; (iv) (v) (vi) in considering the impact of the Change Order on the M&R Payment, if applicable, the Contractor has considered, where the Change Order will increase the M&R or the M&R Requirements, the Total Cost of Materials and Labour attributable to such increase, including anticipated renewals; the Contractor will perform all work associated with a Change Order in accordance with the times allowed for Contractor access to the School Sites and the Schools described in Schedule 18 (Technical Requirements); and the Contractor is in compliance with all applicable laws or intergovernmental agreements to which the Province is a party with respect to invitational tenders, quotations or competitive tenders. (c) (d) (e) The Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the best value for money when procuring any work, services, supplies, materials or equipment required by the Change Order and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with prevailing Good Industry Practice in relation to any such procurement to a standard no less than the Contractor would apply if all costs incurred were to its own account. As soon as practicable, and in any event not more than 15 Business Days after the Province receives an Estimate or such longer period as the parties acting reasonably mutually agree, including any consequential changes to the Estimate resulting from a modification thereof or an addition of a requirement to seek invitational bids or competitive tenders, the Contractor and the Province shall discuss and seek to agree on the Estimate and, if applicable, an adjustment to the Contractor s Construction Schedule or the M&R Payments in Schedule 14 (Payment Schedule). The Province may modify a Change Order Enquiry in writing, at any time prior to the agreement between the parties referred to in (d), above, in which case the Contractor Sch 1-6

shall, as soon as practicable and in any event not more than 10 Business Days after receipt of such modification or such longer period as the parties acting reasonably mutually agree, notify the Province in writing of any consequential changes to the Estimate and, if applicable, to an adjustment to the Contractor s Construction Schedule or the M&R Payments in Schedule 14 (Payment Schedule). (f) If the parties cannot agree on an Estimate provided pursuant to a Change Order Enquiry, and, if applicable, an adjustment to the Contractor s Construction Schedule or the M&R Payments in Schedule 14 (Payment Schedule) ( Dispute ), then: (i) (ii) in the case of such a Dispute during the Construction Period, the Dispute shall be submitted to the Project Adjudicator (appointed under Schedule 5 (Design and Plan Certification Process and Review Procedure)) for recommendation, and if either party does not agree with the Project Adjudicator s recommendation the Dispute shall be determined in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Procedure; or in the case of such a Dispute during the M&R Period, the Dispute shall be determined in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Procedure. 3.4 Change Order Confirmation As soon as practicable, and in any event not more than 10 Business Days (unless an extension is agreed to by the Contractor, acting reasonably) after the date the Estimate, and, if applicable, an adjustment to the Contractor s Construction Schedule or the M&R Payments in Schedule 14 (Payment Schedule), were agreed to, the Province shall either: (i) (ii) issue a Change Order Confirmation; or withdraw the Change Order Enquiry by written notice to the Contractor. (c) (d) If the Province does not issue a Change Order Confirmation within 10 Business Days (or such extended period as may have been agreed to) after the date the Estimate and, if applicable, an adjustment to the Contractor s Construction Schedule or the M&R Payments in Schedule 14 (Payment Schedule), were agreed to, then the Change Order Enquiry shall be deemed to have been withdrawn. If the Province has required the Contractor to seek and evaluate invitational tenders or to seek and evaluate competitive tenders in relation to the Change Order and the Province either withdraws or is deemed to have withdrawn the Change Order Enquiry, the actual costs necessarily and properly incurred by the Contractor directly attributable to the invitational or competitive tendering process, including Design Cost if any, as the parties acting reasonably mutually agree, will be invoiced by the Contractor in a form satisfactory to the Province and will be paid by the Province. Upon the Change Order Confirmation being issued: (i) the parties shall as soon as practicable thereafter do all acts and execute all Sch 1-7

documents necessary to implement the Change Order, including provision for payment to the Contractor in the amount set out in the Estimate, and, if applicable, implementation of an adjustment to the Contractor s Construction Schedule or the M&R Payments in Schedule 14 (Payment Schedule), provided that if the Change Order relates to damage to a School caused by the occurrence of Graffiti as defined in section 5.12.5 of Schedule 18 (Technical Requirements), or resulting from Graffiti removal or the breaking of interior or exterior glazing other than due to weather events then, notwithstanding the amount set out in the Estimate, the Province will pay only up to the amount of the deductible set out in section 3.1(g) of Schedule 11(Insurance Requirements) for the Change Order; and (ii) the Contractor shall as soon as practicable thereafter implement the Change Order as provided for in the Change Order Confirmation. 4. CHANGE ORDER DIRECTIVE PROCESS 4.1 Initiating a Change Order Directive At any time and from time to time (including whether or not the Province has made a Change Order Enquiry, or the Contractor fails to provide an Estimate, or an Estimate is not promptly agreed upon by the parties, or there is a Dispute), if the Province wishes to proceed immediately with a Change Order the Province shall issue a Change Order Directive. The Change Order Directive shall describe the Change Order with sufficient detail to enable the Contractor to prepare an Estimate and to proceed immediately with the work associated with the Change Order. If the Province would be required by applicable law or interprovincial agreements to require the Contractor to seek invitational tenders or to competitively tender any contract in relation to the proposed Change Order, then the Province may include in the Change Order Directive the requirement that the Contractor must seek and evaluate invitational tenders or quotations, or seek and evaluate competitive tenders, in relation to the Change Order. 4.2 Proceeding with Work The Contractor will proceed to immediately implement the work associated with the Change Order including the appropriate method of procurement, if applicable, upon receipt of the Change Order Directive. 4.3 Estimate and Change Order Confirmation If the Contractor has not previously done so, the Contractor shall as soon as practicable and in any event not more than 15 Business Days after the issuance of the Change Order Directive, or such longer period as the parties acting reasonably mutually agree, provide Sch 1-8

an Estimate to the Province prepared in accordance with and meeting the requirements of Section 3.3. (c) (d) (e) As soon as practicable, and in any event not more than 15 Business Days after the Province receives an Estimate or such longer period as the parties acting reasonably mutually agree, the Contractor and the Province shall discuss and seek to agree on the Estimate and, if applicable, an adjustment to the Contractor s Construction Schedule or the M&R Payments in Schedule 14 (Payment Schedule). As soon as practicable, and in any event not more than 10 Business Days (unless an extension is agreed to by the Contractor, acting reasonably) after the date the Estimate was agreed to, the Province shall issue a Change Order Confirmation. As soon as practicable after the Province has issued the Change Order Confirmation the parties will do all acts and execute all documents necessary to further the Change Order, including provision for payment to the Contractor in the amount set out in the Estimate and, if applicable, implementation of an adjustment to the Contractor s Construction Schedule or the M&R Payments in Schedule 14 (Payment Schedule). Pending issuance of the Change Order Confirmation, the undisputed value of the work performed by the Contractor pursuant to the Change Order Directive, as the parties acting reasonably mutually agree, will be invoiced by the Contractor and will be paid by the Province monthly on a progress basis and all such amounts paid will be accounted for in determining the Total Cost of Materials and Labour under Section 4.4. 4.4 Valuation of Change Order Directive If the Province has issued a Change Order Directive and the Province and the Contractor have not been able to reach agreement on the Estimate and, if applicable, an adjustment to the Contractor s Construction Schedule or the M&R Payments in Schedule 14 (Payment Schedule), then adjustments to the Contractor s Construction Schedule or the M&R Payments in Schedule 14 shall be determined by the Dispute Resolution Procedure, applying the criteria set out in Section 3.3(iv) and having regard to the manner in which value and payment are determined in subclauses and below, and the work attributable to the Change Order shall be valued and payment to the Contractor shall be determined as follows: for the work associated with the Change Order Directive that is to be performed by the Contractor s own forces or by the subcontractors identified in Schedule 17 (Subcontractors) (the Schedule 17 Subcontractors ), that portion of the work associated with the Change Order (the Own Forces Work ) shall be valued as the Total Cost of Materials and Labour for the Own Forces Work, plus: (i) for Overhead Costs, an additional 10% of the Total Cost of Materials and Labour for the Own Forces Work; and (ii) for profit, an additional 10% of the sum of the Total Cost of Materials and Labour for the Own Forces Work and the amount determined in accordance with Section Sch 1-9

4.4(i). for the work associated with the Change Order Directive that is to be performed by a subcontractor of the Contractor (other than the Schedule 17 Subcontractors) pursuant to a contract between the Contractor and such subcontractor, that portion of the work associated with the Change Order (the Subcontractor Work ) shall be valued as the Total Cost of Materials and Labour for the Subcontractor Work, plus: (i) for Overhead Costs of the subcontractors performing the Subcontractor Work, an additional 10% of the Total Cost of Materials and Labour for the Subcontractor Work; (ii) for profit for the subcontractors performing the Subcontractor Work, an additional 10% of the sum of the Total Cost of Materials and Labour for the Subcontractor Work and the amount determined in accordance with Section 4.4(i); and (iii) for the Contractor s work (including without limitation Overhead Costs and profit) on the Subcontractor Work, an amount equal to 5% of the sum of the Total Cost of Materials and Labour for the Subcontractor Work and the amounts determined in accordance with Section 4.4(i) and (ii). (c) notwithstanding above, if the Province has required the Contractor to seek and evaluate competitive tenders for the work associated with the Change Order Directive, then for the work associated with the Change Order Directive that is to be performed by a subcontractor of the Contractor (other than the Schedule 17 Subcontractors) pursuant to a contract between the Contractor and such subcontractor arising from the awarding of the competitive tender, that portion of the Change Order (the Subcontractor Work ) shall be valued as the amount of the accepted bid or tender plus, for the Contractor s work (including without limitation direct costs, indirect costs, overhead and profit) on the Subcontractor Work, an amount equal to 5% of the the amount of the accepted bid or tender.
