3) A department can request used furniture from storage, if available, it will be moved at the department via the Facilities Department. Move priorities will be based on the availability of Facilities personnel, funding, and reasonable planning and notification by faculty and staff departments of need. 4) When new positions and offices are created, Facilities will provide the standard furniture options (HON) for new staff and faculty. 5) When new furniture is required as a result of an ADA accommodation, Facilities will provide the standard furniture options (HON) for staff and faculty. 6) If a department desires an historical or unique piece of furniture requiring specific handling, the requesting department can is responsible for the moving costs and possible expenses necessary to refinish/repair the furniture to its original character. These unique items can be musical instruments that in the process of moving could be damaged or characterized as out-oftune. 7) If the College asks a department or individual to move as a part of a college-wide reorganization or isolated need, and if the furniture doesnt fit or is not adequate in the new location, then Facilities will pay for the move and the new furniture. 8) If an individual desires to move or a department wants an individual to move from one office to another and/or requires additional furniture, then the department may be responsible for the move and/or the additional furniture expenses unless approved by the President or VP Administration. 9) Furniture standard for offices (broadly defined) with high public visibility (e.g. President, Vice-Presidents and Deans offices and all staff within these immediate office areas as decided by the President, Vice-Presidents and Deans if appropriate) require wood-style furniture for appearance and presentation issues. All furniture for the remaining departments will be the college standard. 10) All furniture moves and acquiring new or used furniture must be requested through the Facilities Department using the on-line work order system; Track-It.

OFFICE FURNITURE-OFFICE STANDARDS


Rational For Standardization of Furniture: Office furniture manufacturers are continuing to develop a broad range of new products every year. With this development each creates a product that is unique to their brand. Color, size, and edge treatment can be different from manufacturer to manufacturer. Selecting one manufacturer provides the ability to match products from the classroom to the board room. Also, you are able to reconfigure and co-mingle the different styles while continuing the color theme throughout. Why HON Furniture? HON Office Furniture is a worldwide leader in office furniture. There products can be used from the front office to the classroom. HONs State of Florida contract is a tiered discount offering. Therefore, you are allowed to build your order for deeper discounts. This can be accomplished much easier with HON due to the complete product offering. HON Office Furniture is an open line, not sole source. Open line dealers can compete for your projects while the sole source dealers will have no competition. Each unit manufactured by HON carrys a serial number for expediting any warranty issue. This can be done directly with HON or your local dealer representative. LSCC HON Standards: 1. Executive (President/Vice President) Park Avenue series wood veneer case-goods with Park Avenue seating.

MISCILANEOUSSIGNAGE
Signage and graphics may vary somewhat between the campus and centers but there should be a well-defined common representation of the LSCC persona by application of elements such as color, design, look, and materials.

Campus Orientation
Signage should be positioned at the corners of each entry/exit point to facilitate a sense of arrival for approaching motorists and also to function as a reference point. Entrance signage should be distinctive from directional signage enough to allow College customers to naturally differentiate signs that distinguish facilities from signs that offer direction to destinations. Entrance signage should be placed at all campus entries and exhibit a welcoming and fundamental impression of strength.

Directional Signage
The College signage system should be primarily focused on directing first-time or infrequent guests to their desired destinations. Value should be on maintaining the consistency of design and simplicity of messages being conveyed to vehicle as well as pedestrian traffic. Directional signage should provide visitors with a basic and clear step-by-step logical sequence of destination-based information. The sequence should close with directional parking information for motorists and facility information for pedestrians. At the campus perimeter, signage should direct motorists to zones within the campus and to the drive-up visitor information kiosks. Zoning the campus allows for more concise messages, but also requires motorists to know which zone their desired destination falls into prior to arriving on campus. Those who require assistance should be directed to one of the information booths where they may obtain specific information and directions.

College Information Signage


Changeable information signs should be provided adjacent to the U.S. Highway 441 and Silver Lake Road entryways on College Road. These locations will allow the signs to display information to most campus users in addition to communicating LSCCs existence to other passing motorists . These sign should be considered large-scaled having programmable messaging capability systems with a minimum of 8-color LED displays (if economically feasible), and they must comply with the regulations of the city of Leesburg and Department of Transportation (DOT). Smaller scale LED displays might also be considered at locations such as the Fine Arts Building and the athletic facilities. Also, if affordable, LCD kiosks are a possible way to provide both directional signage and campus information.

ARTICLE 10 - CHANGE IN THE PROJECT

10.1

Change Orders The Owner, without invalidating this Agreement, may order Changes in the Project within the general scope of this Agreement consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, the GMP, and the Construction Completion Date, being adjusted accordingly. All changes in the Project not covered by an authorized contingency shall be authorized by Change Order signed by the Owner before the change is implemented.

10.1.1

Change Order Definition A Change Order is a written order to the Construction Manager signed by the Owner issued after the execution of this Agreement, authorizing a Change in the Project, the Construction Manager's fee, or the Construction Completion date. Each adjustment in the GMP resulting from a change order shall clearly separate the amount attributable to the Cost of the Project.

10.1.2

Acceptable Ways Of Determining Increases Or Decrease In The GMP On Change Orders The increase or decrease in the Guaranteed Maximum Price resulting from a change in the Project shall be determined in one or more of the following ways:

February 12, 2010

92

(1) (2) (3) (4)

by mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation by the Architect-Engineer and Owner; by unit prices stated in the Agreement or subsequently agreed upon; by cost as defined in Article 9 and a mutually acceptable fixed or percentage fee; or by the method provided in Subparagraph 10.1.3.

10.1.3

Itemized Accounting on Change Orders If none of the methods set forth in Clause 10.1.2 is agreed upon, the Construction Manager, provided he receives a written order signed by the Owner, shall promptly proceed with the Work involved. The cost of such Work shall then be determined on the basis of the reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the Work attributed to the change. However, in the event a Change Order is issued under these conditions, the Architect-Engineer will establish an estimated cost of the work and the Construction Manager shall not perform any Work whose cost exceeds that estimate without prior written approval by the Owner. In such case, and also under Article 10.1.2 above, the Construction Manager shall keep and present, in such form as the Owner may prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data of the increase in the Cost of the Work as outlined in Article 9. The amount of decrease in the Guaranteed Maximum Price to be allowed by the Construction Manager to the Owner for any deletion or change which results in a net decrease in cost will be the amount of the actual net decrease.

10.1.4

Adjustments In Unit Prices & GMP Due To Inequitable Quantity Changes If unit prices are stated in the Agreement or subsequently agreed upon, and if the quantities originally contemplated are so changed in a proposed Change Order that application of the agreed unit prices to the quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or the Construction Manager, the applicable unit prices and Guaranteed Maximum Price shall be equitably adjusted.

10.1.5

Concealed Conditions Should concealed conditions encountered in the performance of the Work below the surface of the ground or should concealed or unknown conditions in an existing structure be at variance with the conditions indicated by the Drawings, Specifications, or Owner furnished information or should unknown physical conditions below the surface of the ground or should concealed or unknown conditions in an existing structure of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in this Agreement, be encountered, the Guaranteed Maximum Price and the Construction Completion date shall be equitably adjusted by Change Order upon a request for Change Order in accordance with Article 10.2.

10.2

Claims For Additional Cost Or Time All claims for additional cost or time shall be made by request for a change order submitted as provided in Article 16. If the Construction Manager is delayed at any time in the progress of the work by any act or neglect of the Owner or the Architect or of any employee of either or by any separate Construction Manager employed by the Owner or by any changes ordered in the work by labor disputes, fire, or unusual delay in transportation, unavoidable casualties or any causes beyond the Construction Manager's control or by delay authorized by the owner pending resolution of disputes, and such delay extends the completion date, the Substantial Completion shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as the Construction Team may determine.

February 12, 2010

93

Only delays which are determined to extend the critical path for the schedule for constructing the project will result in a time extension. Neither the Owner nor the Construction Manager shall be considered to own the schedule float time.

10.3

Minor Changes In The Project The Architect-Engineer will have authority to order minor changes in the Project not involving an adjustment in the Guaranteed Maximum Price or an extension of the Construction Completion Date and not inconsistent with the intent of the Drawings and Specifications. Such changes shall be effected by written order. Documentation of changes shall be determined by the Construction Team, included in the Project Manual and displayed monthly in the PMIS. Changes shall also be approved by the Manager of Facilities Planning.

February 12, 2010

99

deficiencies. (2) If the Construction Manager is adjudged a bankrupt, or if he makes a general assignment for the benefit of his creditors, or if a receiver is appointed on account of his insolvency, or if he persistently or repeatedly refuses or fails, except in case for which extension of time is provided, to supply enough properly skilled workmen or proper materials and fails to maintain an established schedule (failure to maintain schedule shall be defined as any activity on the critical path that falls 45 days or more behind schedule) which has been adopted by the Construction Team, or if he fails to make prompt payment to subcontractors for materials or labor, or persistently disregards laws, rules, ordinances, regulations, or orders of any public authority having jurisdiction, or otherwise is guilty of a substantial violation of a provision of the Agreement, then the Owner may, without prejudice to any right or remedy and after giving the Construction Manager and his surety, seven (7) days written notice, during which period the Construction Manager fails to commence correction of the violation, terminate the employment of the Construction Manager and take possession of the site and of all materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Construction Manager, and may finish the Project by whatever method he may deem expedient. In such case, the Construction Manager shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Project is finished nor shall he be relieved from his obligations assumed under Article 7. Reasonable terminal expenses incurred by the Owner may be deducted from any payments left owing the Construction Manager (excluding monies owed the Construction Manager for subcontract Work). If the Construction Manager refuses to allow public access to all documents, papers, letters, or other material subject to the provisions of Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, and made or received by the Construction Manager in conjunction with this Agreement, then the Owner may, without prejudice to any right or remedy and after giving the Construction Manager and his surety, seven (7) days written notice, during which period the Construction Manager still fails to allow access, terminate the employment of the Construction Manager and take possession of the site and of all materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery thereon, owned by the Construction Manager, and may finish the project by whatever method he may deem expedient. In such case, the Construction Manager shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Project is finished nor shall he be relieved from his obligations assumed under Article 7. Reasonable terminal expenses incurred by the Owner may be deducted from any payments left owing the Construction Manager (excluding monies owed the Construction Manager for subcontract Work).

The Owner shall also pay to the Construction Manager fair compensation, either by purchase or rental at the election of the Owner, for any equipment retained. In case of such termination of Agreement the Owner shall further assume and become liable for obligations, commitments and unsettled contractual claims that the Construction Manager has previously undertaken or incurred in good faith in connection with said Project. The Construction Manager shall, as a condition of receiving the payments referred to in this Article 14, execute and deliver all such papers and take all such steps including the legal assignment of his contractual rights, as the Owner may require for the purpose of fully vesting in him the rights and benefits of the Construction Manager under such obligations or commitments.

(2)

After the establishment of the Guaranteed Maximum Price or at the completion of the Pre-construction Phase, if the final cost estimates or lack of legislative funding make the Project no longer feasible from the standpoint of the Owner, the Owner may terminate this Agreement and pay the Construction Manager his proportionate fee due in accordance with Article 8.1 plus any costs incurred pursuant to Articles 9 and 10.
