Failure to file a written appeal within the 14-day period shall result in Owner's decision being final and binding upon Contractor.

B.The Board is an advisory body to be created for this Project. The Board's function will be to assist in the resolution of claims, disputes, or controversy between Contractor and Owner in order to prevent design and/or construction delay and possible court litigation.

C.The Board will consider disputes referred to it, and furnish findings and recommendations to Owner and Contractor to assist in the resolution of the differences between them. The Board will essentially be acting in the role of mediator, providing special expertise to assist and facilitate the resolution of disputes.

D.The Board shall consist of one member selected by Owner and one member selected by Contractor, with these two members to select the third member. The first two members shall be mutually acceptable to both Owner and Contractor. No member shall have a financial interest in the Work, except for payments for services on the Board. No employee of Owner, Contractor, any Subcontractor, or A/E shall be a member of the Board. Owner and Contractor shall select the members and negotiate an agreement with them within the first 30 calendar days after the Public Works Contract is signed. The agreement will describe the work, responsibilities, and duties of the Board, and Owner's and Contractor's obligations and responsibilities with respect to each other and to the Board. A sample form of agreement is included as a Special Form. The process used to replace any member shall be the same process used in the original selection of the member being replaced. In the event of an impasse in selection or replacement of any member, the appointment will be made by the Presiding Judge of the King County Superior Court.

E.The Board will formulate its own rules of operation, except to the extent any such rules are provided for herein. In order to keep abreast of the Work, the members shall regularly visit the Project, keep a current file, and regularly meet with other members of the Board and with representatives of Owner and Contractor. The frequency of these visits shall be as agreed between Owner, Contractor, and the Board.

4.Owner shall, at its cost, provide administrative services, such as a meeting room and secretarial services, to the Board.

G.Contractor's appeal shall be heard by the Board within 30 days of the date of receipt of the appeal by Owner, unless another time is mutually agreed to by Owner and Contractor. Pending final decision by the Board of a dispute, Contractor shall diligently proceed with the Work as previously ordered.

H.Contractor and Owner shall each be afforded an opportunity to be heard by the Board and by offer of evidence. In order to provide Owner the opportunity to fully and fairly evaluate Contractor Claims, the full disclosure and presentation at the Board hearing of all relevant facts and circumstances giving rise to the Claim required above shall be a condition precedent to Contractor's right to further pursue its Claim in any tribunal with authority to render binding decisions.

The Board's recommendations toward resolution of a dispute shall be given in writing to both Owner and Contractor. The recommendations shall be based on the Contract provisions and the actual cost incurred.

I.Within 30 days of receiving the Board recommendations, both Owner and Contractor shall respond to the other in writing signifying that the dispute is either resolved or remains unresolved. If Owner and Contractor are able to resolve their dispute with the aid of the Board's recommendations, the terms of the resolution shall be incorporated in a Change Order. Should the dispute remain unresolved, Contractor shall serve and file a lawsuit in an appropriate court within 120 days of the Board's recommendation. This requirement cannot be waived except by an explicit waiver signed by Owner. The failure to file a lawsuit within said 120-day period shall result in Owner's decision rendered in accordance with paragraph 8.01D being final and binding on Contractor and its Subcontractors of any tier. The Board's findings and recommendations shall be admissible evidence in any further proceedings.

J.In the event further proceedings, either judicial or nonjudicial, are required to resolve the dispute, Contractor will be barred from offering in such further proceeding any evidence of facts or legal theories that Contractor did not offer or assert at the Board hearing unless such evidence or theory was not and could not have been discovered, in the exercise of due diligence, prior to the Board's hearing. Contractor's failure to consult with counsel or fully investigate its Claim prior to presenting such Claim to Owner will not excuse Contractor from its obligations to fully apprise Owner of the detailed basis of the Claim.

K.At any time, either before or after a lawsuit has been commenced by Contractor in accordance with paragraph 8.02I, Owner may require Contractor to participate in further mediation or arbitration, or both, in any forum or format acceptable to Owner.

L.Claims between Owner and Contractor, Contractor and its Subcontractors, Contractor and A/E, and Owner and A/E shall, upon demand by Owner, be submitted in a single forum, or Owner may consolidate such Claims or join any of the above-named parties in the same forum.

M.If the parties resolve the Claim prior to Final Acceptance, the terms of the resolution shall be incorporated in a Change Order. The Change Order, including any adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, shall be full compensation for any changes in the Work, including full payment for costs of all delays in connection with such changes and including full payment for any expense or inconvenience, disruption of schedule, and loss of efficiency or productivity by Contractor.
