CHANGE ORDER NUMBER: CO-00005

DATE OF CHANGE ORDER: March 16, 2016


The Agreement between the Parties listed above is changed as follows: (attach additional documentation if necessary)
1.
Parties agree Bechtel will implement a Performance and Attendance Bonus (PAB) Incentive Program to attract and retain qualified craft beginning the first regular pay period of 2016 through Substantial Completion of Subproject 5. The overall PAB Incentive Program will be comprised of two separate programs. Program 1 will apply to all SPL 3 direct-hire craft workers. Program 2 will apply to all SPL 3 core direct-hire crafts in the following classifications: electrician, instrument technician, millwright, friction operator, pipefitter, rigger, and welder. The Provisional Sum amount for Program 1 PAB and Program 2 PAB is $36.9 million. Further details regarding the PAB Incentive Programs 1 and 2 are detailed in Exhibit A of this Change Order.
2.
Bechtel will invoice SPL at the beginning of each quarter, the maximum achievable incentive amount for that quarter. Semi-annually the Parties will reconcile the previous two quarter’s invoiced amount against the total cost of the PAB Incentive Program in the same two quarters. Any variance will be included with the next applicable invoice.
3.
PAB quarterly goals will be set with the intention to achieve target schedule progress and attendance goals. PAB amounts will be paid to qualified craft members on a quarterly basis. Bechtel will pay the craft 50% of the earned PAB and retain the remaining 50% of the PAB in escrow through the duration of the employee’s work on SPL 3. Payment parameters and milestone examples are summarized in Exhibit A.
4.
Attachment EE of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding Section 2.5 Craft Incentive & Retention Program Provisional Sum.

2.5 Craft Incentive & Retention Program Provisional Sum
The Aggregate Provisional Sum contains a Provisional Sum of Thirty Six Million Nine Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S$36,900,000) for craft compensation in order to attract and retain qualified craft. If the actual Performance and Attendance Bonus (PAB) Incentive Program Cost under this Agreement is less than the Performance and Attendance Bonus (PAB) Incentive Program Provisional Sum, Owner shall be entitled to a Change Order reducing the Contract Price by such difference. If the actual Performance and Attendance Bonus (PAB) Incentive Program Cost under this Agreement is greater than the Performance and Attendance Bonus (PAB) Incentive Program Provisional Sum, Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order increasing the Contract Price by such difference.

5. The Aggregate Provisional Sum specified in Article 7.1A of the Agreement prior to this Change Order was $269,090,060. This Change Order will increase the Aggregate Provisional Sum amount by $36,900,000 and the new value shall be $305,990,060.
