becomes apparent that it will be unable to, comply with the recommendations of the

Alliance Board.

(d) The Alliance Board must decide what action, if any, is to be taken following receipt of this

with a recommendation made under this clause is a Direct Cost and whether any change is

required to the Direct Cost Target.

21.4 Insurance Risk Management Plan

Effective Date, or a later date on which the Participants may agree.

22. Indemnities

22.1 Non compliance with insurance requirements

and the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Owner Participant against losses,

damages or claims suffered by the Owner Participant and the directors, officers, employees

Participant with the terms and conditions of clauses 19, 20 and 21, or the terms and

conditions of the insurance policies required to be taken out and maintained by the

Participants under this Agreement.

(b) The Owner Participant indemnifies and must keep indemnified each Non-Owner

Participant and the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Non-Owner Participant

Project Alliance Agreement

Final Project Alliance Agreement – 11 October 2016 Page 48

Participant, its directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors or Subcontractors may

have contributed to the loss, damage or claim.

22.4 Insurance obligations are primary

For the avoidance of doubt, the insurances required to be taken out and maintained by the

Participants under this Agreement are primary and not secondary to the indemnities referred to in

this clause 22.

23. Limits of liability

23.1 Total liability of Non-Owner Participants to Main Roads

Subject to clause 24, the total liability of the Non-Owner Participants to Main Roads (whether as the

client or as the Owner Participant) for any losses or damages by reason of any claims (including

negligence claims) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement is limited in the aggregate for

all claims to the sum of:

(a)

(b)

23.2 Total liability of Main Roads to Non-Owner Participants

Subject to clause 24, the total liability of Main Roads (whether as the client or as the Owner

aggregate for all claims to the sum of:

(a)

(b)

23.3 No liability for Consequential Loss

Subject to clause 24 (except to the extent that Consequential Loss is covered and is recoverable

under a policy of insurance taken out under this Agreement, in which case a Participant will be

liable), no Participant will be liable to another Participant (including to Main Roads whether as the

client or as the Owner Participant) for any Consequential Loss sustained by a Participant, whether

caused by that Participant’s breach of this Agreement, negligence or otherwise.

23.4 Exclusion of Civil Liability Act

(a) Except as provided in clause 22.3, the operation of Part 1F of the Civil Liability Act 2002

(WA) is excluded as to all and any rights, obligations and liabilities arising under or in

connection with this Agreement and irrespective of whether such rights, obligations or

liabilities are sought to be enforced as a breach of contract or claim in tort (including

negligence), in equity, under statute or otherwise at law.

(b) Without limiting paragraph (a), it is further agreed that the rights, obligations and liabilities

of the Participants (including those relating to proportionate liability) are as specified in this

Project Alliance Agreement

Final Project Alliance Agreement – 11 October 2016 Page 49

Agreement and not otherwise whether such rights, obligations and liabilities are sought to

be enforced as a breach of contract or claim in tort (including negligence), in equity, under

statute or otherwise at law.

24. When limits of liability do not apply

24.1 Wilful Default

The limits of liability set out in clause 23 do not apply to claims brought by a Participant for losses

or damages suffered by that Participant arising out of or in connection with a Wilful Default by

another Participant.

24.2 Failure to comply with insurance obligations

The limits of liability set out in clause 23 do not apply to a Participant if:

(a) the Participant has failed (other than where the failure is due to the Wilful Default of a

Participant in which case clause 24 will apply) to take out an insurance policy covering the

claim where such an insurance policy was required to be taken out by that Participant in

accordance with clauses 19.1 or 19.2 (as the case may be); or

(b) because of any act or omission of that Participant (other than an act or omission amounting

to a Wilful Default of that Participant in which case clause 24.1 will apply), an insurance

policy taken out by the Owner Participant or the Non-Owner Participants in accordance

with clauses 19.1 or 19.2 (as the case may be) for the purposes of covering such a claim

fails to respond to the claim,

in which case the limit of liability will be:

(c) in the case of Main Roads (whether as client or the Owner Participant), the sum of:

(i)

(ii)

(d) in the case of the Non-Owner Participants, the sum of:

(i)

(ii)

24.3 Non-payment of Excluded Amounts

The limits of liability in clause 23 do not apply to the non-payment of Excluded Amounts.

24.4 Limits of liability are separate from limits under the risk/reward regime

The limits of liability in clause 23 are separate from, do not relate to and are not limited, voided or

compromised by any cap or limit imposed on the Non-Owner Participants’ obligation to pay any

Cost Performance Amount or KRA Performance Amount to Main Roads under the Performance

Payment methodology in Schedule 4 and this Agreement.

25. Suspension

25.1 Suspension by the Participants

The Participants may only suspend the whole or any part of the Works with prior written agreement

from Main Roads unless there is, or there is a real risk of:

(a)

(b) an adverse impact on Aboriginal Heritage.

25.2 Suspension by Main Roads

If Main Roads considers that suspension of the whole or part of the Works is necessary or

appropriate for any reason, Main Roads may direct the Participants in writing to immediately

suspend the progress of the whole or part of the Works for the period specified by Main Roads in

writing, and the Participants must promptly suspend the Works.

Specific instances where Main Roads may suspend the whole or part of the Works include:

(a) acquisition of land by Main Roads being delayed by more than three months and

construction of the Works being unable to be rescheduled to accommodate the delay;

(b) unexpected Aboriginal Heritage issues delaying the Works by more than three months and

construction of the Works being unable to be rescheduled to accommodate the delay; and

(c)

25.3 Suspension costs

(a) If Main Roads directs suspension (other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by a

Non-Owner Participant), Main Roads must continue to pay any Direct Costs reasonably

and actually incurred during the period of suspension and the Corporate Overhead and

Profit in respect of those costs. Any Direct Costs paid by Main Roads in respect of the

period of suspension will be known as 'Suspension Costs'.

(b) The total of all Suspension Costs paid by Main Roads must be added to the Direct Cost

Target so that the Direct Cost Target is increased for the purposes of the calculation of any

Cost Performance Amount.

25.4 Recommencement

When Main Roads chooses, Main Roads may direct the Participants to recommence the whole or the

relevant part of the Works and the Participants must recommence the Works at the time directed by

Main Roads or, if no time is stated, within a reasonable time after the direction.

26. No fault termination

26.1 No fault termination

Main Roads may terminate this Agreement at any time by serving a notice on the Non-Owner

Participants.

Project Alliance Agreement

Final Project Alliance Agreement – 11 October 2016 Page 51

26.2 Termination payment

(a) If Main Roads elects to terminate this Agreement under clause 26.1, subject to Main Roads'

rights under or in connection with this Agreement, Main Roads must pay the Non-Owner

Participants, or the Non-Owner Participants must pay Main Roads (as the case may be), an

amount calculated or decided under Schedule 2. The Participants must take all reasonable

steps to minimise and mitigate any costs incurred by them arising from termination of this

Agreement under clause 26.1.

(b) Upon payment of any termination payment by Main Roads to the Non-Owner Participants

or the Non-Owner Participants to Main Roads (as the case may be) under this clause 26.2,

Main Roads and the Non-Owner Participants must enter into a deed of release under which,

subject to clause 33.14 which survives termination of this Agreement, each of Main Roads

and the Non-Owner Participants:

(i) agree that all payments required to be made by Main Roads or by the Non-Owner

Participants (as the case may be) in respect of this Agreement have been made in

full; and

(ii) release each other from any claims arising out of or in connection with this

Agreement.

27. Termination for default and repudiation

27.1 Events of Default

Subject to clause 27.3, if any of the Participants or, where appropriate, Main Roads (Defaulting

Participant):

(a) commits a Wilful Default;

or not amounting to a Wilful Default; or

(c) is the subject of an Insolvency Event,

(each a default),

then the non-defaulting Participants may give notice to the Defaulting Participant of:

(d) the default and of their intention to exercise their rights under clause 27.3 on the expiration

of 15 Business Days if the default is capable of being rectified but is not rectified within the

15 Business Days period; or

(e) their intention to exercise their rights under clause 27.3 immediately if the default is not

capable of being rectified, or in the case of an Insolvency Event.

A notice given under this clause 27.1 must specify that it is a default notice under this clause.

27.2 Defaulting Participant

For the purposes of clause 27.1(b), a Participant is only deemed to be a Defaulting Participant for

the purposes of this clause 27 where:

Page 59: Project Alliance Agreement Roe 8 Project · Project Alliance Agreement Roe 8 Project ... Final Project Alliance Agreement ... 20.5 Proof of insurance and inspection of insurance policies

Project Alliance Agreement

Final Project Alliance Agreement – 11 October 2016 Page 52

(a) the relevant material breach or failure to perform, as the case may be, relates to a particular

duty, obligation, term or condition arising out of, or connected with, this Agreement

(Stipulation);

(b) the Alliance Board has, in writing and with express reference to this clause 27.2, allocated

responsibility and performance of the Stipulation to the Participant in question; and

(c) the Participant in question has committed a material breach in respect of all or part of that

Stipulation.

27.3 Failure to remedy

(a) If:

(i) the Defaulting Participant fails within 15 Business Days after receipt of a notice

given under clause 27.1(d) to either remedy a default or in writing show (to the

satisfaction of the non-defaulting Participants) that reasonable progress has been

made in rectifying the default; or

(ii) if the non-defaulting Participants give notice under clause 27.1(e),

then, subject to clause 27.3(b):

(iii) where Main Roads is not in default, Main Roads may, without prejudice to its

rights under this Agreement or otherwise, at any time thereafter wholly or partly

suspend the Defaulting Participant’s portion of any payment due to the Non-

Owner Participants under this Agreement until the default has been remedied to

the satisfaction of the non-defaulting Participants; or

(iv) the non-defaulting Participants may, without prejudice to their rights under this

Agreement or otherwise, terminate this Agreement by notice to the Defaulting

Participant.

(b) Where:

(i) the Defaulting Participant is not Main Roads; and

(ii) the non-defaulting Participants are entitled to exercise their rights under

clause 27.3(a) but have not exercised those rights,

the non-defaulting Participants may, subject to the approval of Main Roads and without

prejudice to their rights under this Agreement or otherwise, by joint notice exclude the

Defaulting Participant from further participation in the performance of any of the Works

and step-in and assume the rights and obligations allocated to the Defaulting Participant, in

which case the provisions of clause 27.4 will apply.

27.4 Exclusion from further participation in this Agreement

If the non-defaulting Participants exclude the Defaulting Participant from further participation in the

performance of any of the Works and this Agreement by notice under clause 27.3:

(a) the non-defaulting Participants may employ and pay other persons to replace the Defaulting

Participant in the performance of the Works and may use all Temporary Works and

Construction Plant provided by the Defaulting Participant and necessary to perform the

Works;

Page 60: Project Alliance Agreement Roe 8 Project · Project Alliance Agreement Roe 8 Project ... Final Project Alliance Agreement ... 20.5 Proof of insurance and inspection of insurance policies

Project Alliance Agreement

Final Project Alliance Agreement – 11 October 2016 Page 53

(b) the Defaulting Participant will, if required by the non-defaulting Participants, promptly

assign or novate to Main Roads, without payment, the benefit of any agreements for the

performance of any part of the Works;

(c) as and when required by Main Roads (and not before), the Defaulting Participant will

remove from the Site any Temporary Works, Construction Plant and other property

provided by the Defaulting Participant. If the Defaulting Participant fails to do so not less

than 15 Business Days after notice to it of the non-defaulting Participants' intention to do so

(but without being responsible for any loss or damage), the non-defaulting Participants may

remove and/or sell any such Temporary Works, Construction Plant or other property;

(d) the non-defaulting Participants may execute all deeds and documents and will do all such

things on behalf of the Defaulting Participant, including making decisions on behalf of the

Defaulting Participant’s representatives at the Alliance Board, as are necessary for the

performance of the Works; and

(e) to enable the execution of deeds and documents under paragraph (d), the Defaulting

Participant by this Agreement irrevocably authorises any directors, managers or officers of

the non-defaulting Participants to act as its attorneys for the purpose of executing deeds and

documents and doing all things of that kind. The non-defaulting Participants must act

reasonably in the performance of any right permitted under this paragraph (e).

Notwithstanding the exclusion of the Defaulting Participant from further participation in the

performance of the Works and this Agreement by notice under clause 27.3(b), the Defaulting

Participant will continue to be subject to the requirements of clauses 4, 17, 18, 20.1, 20.10, 22, 23,

24, 27.4, 27.5, 28, 31, 32 and 33 and Schedule 2.

27.5 Loss and damage

(a) If the non-defaulting Participants elect to terminate this Agreement under

clause 27.3(a)(iv), or exclude the Defaulting Participant under clause 27.3(b), then

notwithstanding clause 4.1, subject only to clause 23, the non-defaulting Participants may

recover from the Defaulting Participant any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses

suffered by the non-defaulting Participants arising out of any, all, or any combination of:

(i) the default or non performance;

(ii) any exclusion under this clause 27; or

(iii) termination under this clause 27.

(b) If one of the Participants repudiates this Agreement, then notwithstanding clause 4.1 and

subject only to clause 23, nothing in this Agreement prejudices the other Participants’ rights

to recover damages or to exercise any other right in connection with that repudiation.

28. Consequences of termination

28.1 Termination

A reference in this clause 28 to termination means termination of the Agreement for any reason

whatever.

Project Alliance Agreement

Final Project Alliance Agreement – 11 October 2016 Page 54

(ii) demobilise from the Site persons, Construction Plant, vehicles, equipment and

other things;

(iii) assign or novate to Main Roads all rights and benefits under contracts with Third

Parties; and

(iv) provide Main Roads with IP Documents and Design. For the avoidance of doubt

and subject to Participant 2’s obligations under clause 33.8, nothing in this clause

operates to prevent Participant 2 from keeping a bona fide copy of the IP

Documents and Design for its records.

(b) Without limiting any other obligation of the Participants, where this Agreement is

terminated by Main Roads for default by a Non-Owner Participant, the Participants must

provide Main Roads with possession of all Materials, Construction Plant, Temporary

Works, vehicles, equipment and other things on the Site or off-Site, which are required by

Main Roads for the purpose of, and for such time as necessary, to make the Works safe.

28.4 Works continuation

Without limiting any other rights of the Participants under this Agreement, if this Agreement is

terminated for any reason whatever, the Non-Owner Participants acknowledge that Main Roads may

continue with the Works either:

(a) with parties other than the Non-Owner Participants; or

(b) on an alliance, conventional contractual or any other basis that Main Roads may decide,

and the Non-Owner Participants must do all things and execute all further documents necessary to

ensure that Main Roads is free to continue with the Works in the manner set out in this clause 28.4

within the time period prescribed by Main Roads.

29. Security

29.1 Type of security

following proportions:

(i) Participant 1 –

(vi) Participant 6 –

(c) The security, including the amount and terms of operation, applies irrespective of clause 23.

(Defaulting Non-Owner Participant);

(b) Main Roads has given the Defaulting Non-Owner Participant 15 Business Days' notice of

Main Roads’ intention to make a demand under the security referred to in clause 29.1; and

(c) where the default or material breach of this Agreement is:

(i) capable of being remedied within the 15 Business Day period specified in

paragraph (b) and the Defaulting Non-Owner Participant has failed to either:

Costs. However, the amount of any call made on one or more of the Non-Owner Participants by the

financial institution(s) which issue the security in respect of a payment made to Main Roads under

the security and the cost of such calls, will not be a Direct Cost but will be the responsibility of the

Non-Owner Participants concerned.

29.6 Parent Company Guarantee

(a) Main Roads may have recourse to the Parent Company Guarantee in the circumstances

contemplated by the Parent Company Guarantee.

(b) Participant 1 must ensure that, from the Effective Date until the end of the Term, the Parent

kept in full force and effect.

(c) Any agreement between the provider of the Parent Company Guarantee and Main Roads

with respect to any demands made and amounts paid by the provider to Main Roads under

the Parent Company Guarantee is without prejudice to Main Roads’ right to make

continuing claims against the Non-Owner Participants for matters for which the Parent

Company Guarantee is provided.

submission of the issue to an Adjudicator to determine it. In the event of a submission of the issue to

the Adjudicator, the Adjudicator must determine the amount payable by Main Roads to the Non-

Owner Participants or the Non-Owner Participants to Main Roads (as the case may be) by

determining the net sum of the amounts set out in clauses 1(b)(i) – 1(b)(viii) of this Schedule 2

(Determination).

2.2 Nomination of Adjudicator

The procedure for appointing the Adjudicator is as follows:

(a) Notice must be given by the Participant calling for the appointment of the Adjudicator,

including details of the matter to be resolved by the Adjudicator, to the other Participants.

(b) If the matter is not resolved within 5 Business Days from the date of the notice, the

Participants must agree on a single Adjudicator to determine the issue.

(c) If, within 5 Business Days of the notice, the Participants fail to agree on a single

Adjudicator, then the Participants must, as soon as practicable, request the President of

CPA Australia or the most senior officer of CPA Australia to appoint the Adjudicator.

(d) Upon agreement of the Participants, or appointment of an Adjudicator under paragraph (c)

of this Schedule 2, the Participants and the Adjudicator must enter into an agreement which

will govern the determination of the issue. That agreement must be consistent with the

provisions of this Schedule 2.

2.3 Adjudicator to have appropriate experience

(a) The Adjudicator must have appropriate commercial and practical experience and expertise

in the area of the issue.

(b) Any person nominated to act as an Adjudicator must fully disclose any interest or duty

prior to that person's appointment. If that person has or may have any interest or duty which

conflicts with their appointment as Adjudicator, then that person must not be appointed

except with the agreement of all the Participants.

(c) In resolving the issue the Adjudicator must act impartially.

2.4 Confidentiality

It will be a term of the Adjudicator’s appointment that the Adjudicator must be required to undertake

(c) to obtain evidence from any person in relation to any aspect of the issue;

(d) to receive written submissions and sworn and unsworn written statements and to photocopy

documents and to act upon the same;

(e) to consult with such other professionally qualified persons as the Adjudicator in its absolute

discretion thinks fit; and

(f) to take such measures as the Adjudicator thinks fit to expedite the completion of the issue

resolution,

but the Adjudicator will only have the power to determine an issue regarding the amount payable

under clause 1(a) of this Schedule 2 and no other issue (unless the Participants otherwise agree).

2.6 Timing of issue resolution

It will be a term of the Adjudicator's appointment that the Adjudicator must be required to make a

determination of the issue within 20 Business Days of the Adjudicator’s appointment or such further

period as the Participants may agree. If any Participant considers that the issue is of an urgent nature

and needs to be resolved within a shorter period, then that Participant may require the period of 20

Business Days to be reduced to such period as that Participant may reasonably require, being not

less than 5 Business Days.

2.7 Written determination

The Adjudicator must deliver a written determination which sets out the reasons for the

determination and the findings of fact on which the determination is based.

Schedule 11 – Payment Procedures

1. Introduction

(a) For the avoidance of doubt, Main Roads and the Non-Owner Participants agree that:

(i) Main Roads will reimburse the Non-Owner Participants for Direct Costs (as

defined in Schedule 3) incurred by them;

(ii) Main Roads will pay the Non-Owner Participants the Corporate Overhead and

Profit;

(iii) if applicable, Main Roads will pay the Non-Owner Participants a Cost

Performance Amount, or the Non-Owner Participants will pay Main Roads a Cost

Performance Amount; and

(iv) if applicable, Main Roads will pay the Non-Owner Participants a KRA

Performance Amount, or the Non-Owner Participants will pay Main Roads a KRA

Performance Amount.

(b) This Schedule 11 sets out the procedure which will govern the payments referred to above.

2. Cash neutrality

A key principle governing the payment procedures to apply to the Works is ensuring that the Non-

Owner Participants, in their joint capacity and to the greatest extent possible, are put in a cash

neutral position in relation to the reimbursement of Direct Costs.

3. Cash flow forecasting

(a) The Alliance Management Team must prepare and deliver to Main Roads a cash flow

forecast in respect of the first month of the Term within 5 Business Days (or as otherwise

agreed by the Participants) from the Effective Date. The cash flow forecast must be in a

format approved by the Alliance Board and must detail for the first month of the Term:

(i) the Directs Costs that are expected to be incurred by the Non-Owner Participants

in the first month of the Term; and

(ii) the Corporate Overhead and Profit that is expected to be due to the Non-Owner

Participants in the first month of the Term.

The cash flow forecast must identify the amount, if any, to be paid in advance by Main

Roads into the Project Bank Account and the date for payment of that amount.

(b) By no later than 10 Business Days (or as otherwise agreed by the Participants) prior to the

end of the first month of the Term and thereafter each subsequent month during the Term,

the Alliance Management Team must prepare and deliver to Main Roads a cash flow

forecast. The cash flow forecast must be in a format approved by the Alliance Board and

must detail for the following month of the Term:

Project Alliance Agreement

Final Project Alliance Agreement – 11 October 2016 Page 99

(i) the Directs Costs that are expected to be incurred by the Non-Owner Participants

in the following month of the Term; and

(ii) the Corporate Overhead and Profit that is expected to be due to the Non-Owner

Participants in the following month of the Term.

The cash flow forecast must identify the amount, if any, to be paid in advance by Main

Roads into the Project Bank Account and the date for payment of that amount.

(c) For the purpose of this Schedule 11, the amounts identified under clauses 3(a) and (b) of

this Schedule 11 are advance payment amounts (Advance Payment Amounts).

4. Advance Payment Amount by Main Roads

Main Roads must pay each Advance Payment Amount on the date for payment of that amount

identified in the applicable cash flow forecast.

5. Reconciliation

(a) As soon as practicable after the end of each month during the Term, the Alliance

Management Team must prepare and deliver a notice in a format approved by the Alliance

Board to the Non-Owner Participants and Main Roads:

(i) detailing for that month of the Term:

(A) Actual Directs Costs incurred by the Non-Owner Participants; and

(B) the entitlement of the Non-Owner Participants to Corporate Overhead and

Profit calculated in accordance with this Agreement,

(Entitlement Amount);

(ii) identifying the amount of the difference (if any) between the Advance Payment

Amount and the Entitlement Amount for that month of the Term (Difference

Amount); and

(iii) attaching a statutory declaration provided by the Non-Owner Participants in the

form set out in Schedule 12 in respect of:

(A) payment by the Non-Owner Participants of any amounts that are due and

payable to Subcontractors; and

(B) compliance by the Non-Owner Participants with clause 16.4 of this

Agreement in respect of the Code.

(b) All supporting documentation relating to the amounts contained in any notice prepared

under clause 5(a) in this Schedule 11 must be available for inspection and audit.

(c) If the Entitlement Amount is greater than the Advance Payment Amount, then Main Roads

must make payment of the Difference Amount into the Project Bank Account within

5 Business Days of receipt of the notice under clause 5(a) in this Schedule 11.

(d) If the Entitlement Amount is less than the Advance Payment Amount, then the Non-Owner

Participants must reimburse Main Roads the Difference Amount from the Project Bank

Project Alliance Agreement

Final Project Alliance Agreement – 11 October 2016 Page 101

the provisions of clause 17.6 of this Agreement will apply to any overpayment of the

amount set out in the notice under clause 7(a) of this Schedule 11.

8. Direct Costs incurred by Main Roads

For the purposes of the Performance Payment methodology set out in Schedule 4, the Alliance

Management Team will monitor the Actual Direct Costs incurred by the Owner Participant in

relation to the Works during the Term.

9. Procedures

Within 20 Business Days of the Effective Date, the Alliance Management Team must develop such

further procedures as are necessary to define in detail the processes for payment. Those procedures

must be based on the principles set out in this Schedule 11 and are subject to the approval (or

otherwise) of the Alliance Board.

10. Employees of Designer Participants

(a) The Designer Participants will compile a combined charge-out rate schedule (Charge-Out

Rate Schedule) which covers the salary bands of the professional/technical employees of

Page 109: Project Alliance Agreement Roe 8 Project · Project Alliance Agreement Roe 8 Project ... Final Project Alliance Agreement ... 20.5 Proof of insurance and inspection of insurance policies

Project Alliance Agreement

Final Project Alliance Agreement – 11 October 2016 Page 102

form part of the procedure developed in accordance with clause 9 above. The bands within

the Charge-Out Rate Schedule must cover the normal time and overtime base salary and

normal time and over time on-cost multiplier components specified in clauses 1.2(a) to

1.2(e) of Schedule 3. Main Roads acknowledges that in generating the bands, the on-cost

multiplier may vary within each band but that, on average, the on-cost multiplier will

equate to the on-cost multiplier specified in clauses 1.2(b) and 1.2(d) of Schedule 3.

(b) During the course of the Project, the Participants will assign the professional/technical

employees of the Designer Participants to the appropriate band.

(c) The assignment of employees within the bands of the Charge-Out Rate Schedule is subject

to change in line with the annual salary review process of the Designer Participants.

(d) Payment of Direct Costs by Main Roads in accordance with the Charge-Out Rate Schedule

does not limit the rights of Main Roads to reconcile or audit any payment of the Designer

Participants for Direct Costs, so as to ensure recovery is in accordance with the principles

in clause 1.2 of Schedule 3.

(a) issues must be immediately notified;

(b) issues must be resolved, or attempted to be resolved, in accordance with the Alliance

Principles;

(c) issues must be resolved at the lowest practical and appropriate level within the Alliance

(commensurate with the nature of the issue) in a way that promotes ongoing efficient and

cooperative relations; and

(d) issues must be resolved as quickly as possible.

2. Resolution process

The resolution of issues involves consideration of the issue at various levels:

(a) The Alliance Board must use its best endeavours to first attempt to resolve an issue through

no less than two separate Alliance Board meetings.

(b) If the issue cannot be resolved in the first instance by the Alliance Board, the Alliance

Board must refer the issue to a separate meeting of authorised officers from each

Participant who must meet within 2 Business Days of the issue being referred to them and

attempt to resolve the issue within 5 Business Days following their first meeting.

(c) If the issue cannot be resolved in the second instance by the authorised officers of each

Participant, the Participants must refer the issue to an Expert appointed by the Alliance

Board. In referring the issue to an Expert, a report describing the unresolved issues and the

grounds for each Participant's position on the matter must be forwarded to the Expert.

(d) The Expert must consider the issue and make a recommendation(s) to the Alliance Board as

to how that issue should be resolved. The decision of the Expert is final and binding on the

Participants, except in the case of manifest error or if the Expert has acted in bad faith.

(e) The resolution of the issue must be documented and tabled for noting at the next Alliance

Board meeting.
