PDC will provide a maximum of $10.5 million in project funding to PF&R in accordance with the Payment Schedule Exhibit B unless further disbursements are authorized by the Commission, and such funds will be joined with the $11.668 million available to PF&R for this project. The total Project Funding is $22.168 million. Failure by PDC to provide $10.5 million in funds, if necessary to meet the Project Costs, constitutes Material Default.

2.2.  Development Program. PF&R has prepared an initial Development Program, attached as Exhibit D, identifying the components of the Development Program that are the basis for entering into this Agreement. Any material change in the Development Program shall require prior consent of PDC. A material change shall mean any change that would have a material impact on the use, scope, function, timing, appearance and cost of the Project.

2.3.  PDC Design Review and Approval. By participating in early design phases, PDC intends to assist in making design decisions that will best represent its knowledge of long term development plans and interests in the area, as well as goals for public parks and streetscapes and common amenities. PDC’s primary focus of design review will include but not be limited to urban design, including the pedestrian environment, street frontages and visible courtyards, material and systems quality, and relationship to the Globe Hotel redevelopment. It is PDC’s intent that its design Review and Approval process will not delay the development Program schedule. PF&R shall work with the Offices of the Mayor and the Fire Commissioner on project design.

2.3.1.  PF&R, with PDC’s participation as described in Sections 2.3.8, shall prepare the Development Program and Concept Documents, Schematic Design Documents/Portland Design Review Documents (one set of Documents to serve both purposes), Design Development and 50% and 90% Construction Documents. PDC staff will review and approve the Concept Documents, the Schematic Design Documents, the Design Development and Review Documents and 90% Construction Documents at each phase of the work in accordance with the Schedule of Performance. If PDC elects to not participate in regularly scheduled design meetings according to Section 2.3.9, PDC staff will also review 50% Construction Documents.

2.3.2.  All plans and specifications referred to in this Section 2.3 are referred to herein as the “Documents.” PDC will not unreasonably withhold its approval of any documents for the Development Program. PDC’s staff review is limited to a period not to exceed ten (10) business days from the date of its receipt of Documents. PF&R shall have ten (10) business days to respond in writing to PDC’s written comments. Thereafter, PDC will have five (5) business days to respond to any written comments received from PF&R. Should either Party fail to respond within the timeframes established herein, then the comments of the other shall be deemed to be acceptable.

2.3.3.  Schematic Design/ Portland Historic Landmarks Commission Design Review Documents will be approved by official action of the PDC Commission upon recommendation of the PDC Project Manager. These documents are considered to be the same package.

2.3.4.  PDC shall be informed of any material changes to project use, scope, function, time, appearance and cost during the construction phase of the Project.

2.3.5.  Changes in Approved Documents. If PF&R wants to materially change any Documents after approval by PDC and/or the City, PF&R shall submit the proposed changes to PDC for approval. PF&R acknowledges that it may be necessary to secure separate City approval of such changes. Any separate City approvals shall be sought after PDC has approved the changes. PDC shall assist PF&R throughout any City or PDC design review, and the applicable land use and development review processes of appropriate bureaus or agencies within the City, but PDC does not represent or warrant that its assistance will guarantee or accelerate approval.

2.3.6.  PF&R will provide PDC with a color project rendering showing surrounding context prior to approval of Schematic Design/Landmarks Design Commission Design Review Documents by the Commission, and an updated color rendering showing surrounding context prior to receiving the final jointly issued Certificate of Completion for the Project.

 

2.3.7.  PDC may retain a design advisor, at its expense and its discretion, to assist in review of the Development Program design. The role of the design advisor is to review the design of the Development Program and to advise the PDC Project Manager as to design considerations consistent with this Agreement. The advisor’s review will take into consideration building codes and other governmental regulations but will not include any analysis of compliance with same. Costs for the PDC design advisory will be paid separate from PDC’s $10.5 million contribution to the program budget.

2.3.8.  PDC staff and its design advisor, at their option, will be invited and may attend regular design meetings. Beginning with the initial program development, competition and concept design work by PF&R, the PDC Project Manager and/or design advisor will meet at regularly scheduled intervals with PF&R and its design team to exchange information, review progress and resolution of design and construction issues.

2.4.  Diligent Completion. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, PF&R covenants to complete the development of the Development Program through the construction of the fire station, fire administration, fire museum, parking and related elements in substantial conformance with the Final Construction Plans and Specifications and to comply with the Schedule of Performance, subject to force majeur as provided in Section 5.4. PF&R agrees to keep PDC informed of its progress with respect to development of the Project during construction, with periodic reports to be issued no less frequently than once per quarter until PDC issues its final Certificate of Completion for the Project.

2.4.1  Project development shall include:

(a)  Entering into all necessary architectural and construction contracts;

(b)  Securing all necessary public entitlements and building permits;

2.5.  Development Obligations of PF&R.

PF&R shall develop the Relocation Property consistent with the Development Program (Exhibit D) to the extent made possible by the Project Funding. If PF&R believes that it will be unable to develop the Relocation Property consistent with the Development Program, PF&R and PDC agree that they shall in good faith attempt to modify the Development Program in a manner that addresses the material interests of the parties.

2.6.  Inspection and Property Access Before Conveyance of Relocation Property. If PDC acquires the Relocation Property, subject to the terms of any existing leases, before conveying the Relocation Property to PF&R, and pursuant to a written permit of entry, PDC shall allow PF&R and PF&R’s employees, agents and consultants to enter upon the Relocation Property, at all reasonable times whenever and to the extent necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

If the City acquires the Relocation Property, the Parties agree, subject to the same terms to allow PDC employees, agents and consultants to enter upon the Relocation Property, at all reasonable times whenever and to the extent necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

2.7.  After Conveyance of Property. Regardless of who acquires the Relocation Property, during design and construction of the Project, and until a Certificate of Completion is issued, PF&R’s work shall, upon reasonable notice, be accessible at all reasonable times for inspection by representatives of PDC. PDC agrees not to interfere with the work occurring on the Relocation Property.

2.8.  Certificate of Completion.

2.8.1.  Certificate of Completion. Upon completion of the Development Program, PDC and PF&R will mutually execute a Certificate of Completion for the Project, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. The Project will be deemed to be complete when

(a)  the Minimum Development Requirements of the Development Program are completed; and

(b)  the City has issued a temporary or permanent Certificate(s) of Occupancy for Relocation Property with respect to the Minimum Development Requirements; and

(c)  PDC has met all financial obligations related to the Payment Schedule in Exhibit B.

2.8.2.  Meaning and Effect of the Certificate of Completion. The Certificate of Completion shall provide for termination of obligations under this Agreement by both parties, with the exception of PDC’s obligation to ensure that the Globe Hotel does not pose a public safety threat to the new Station #1 on the Relocation Property consistent with Section 1.6.1.8. Either issuance of a Certificate of Completion for seismic stabilization of the Globe Hotel or demolition of the Globe Hotel shall satisfy PDC’s obligation to ensure the Globe Hotel does not pose a seismic safety threat to the new Fire Station #1 on the Relocation Property.

3.  ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

3.1.  Responsibility for Environmental Compliance. With respect to the Relocation Property, PF&R shall be responsible for compliance with all Environmental Laws with respect to its business and the operation of the Project from and after the date of Conveyance of the Replacement Property

3.2.  Responsibility for Environmental Compliance. With respect to the Current Property, PDC shall be responsible for compliance with all Environmental Laws with respect to the Current Property from and after the date of Conveyance of the Current Property. The parties agree that PF&R will convey the property in a condition that complies with all Environmental Laws.

3.3.  Sections 3.1 and 3.2 do not limit any rights of contribution that the parties may have against others under applicable law or agreement. The indemnity is intended only as an allocation of responsibility between the parties to this Agreement.

4.  SPECIAL COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS

4.1.  Staffing and Operation of Project. PF&R covenants and agrees that during each design, development and construction phase under the Development Program, it will provide an experienced qualified project representative with authority to act on behalf of the PF&R.

If such Material Default can be reasonably cured within sixty (60) days, PF&R shall have 60 days to cure such material default. If such material default is not curable within said sixty (60) day period, PF&R shall have 60 days to in good faith commence actions necessary to cure such default and diligently pursue such cure to completion. If performance requires the consent or action of the Legislature and/or the City, PF&R shall have such time to obtain such action/consent as is reasonably required.

5.4  Force Majeure

5.4.1  Neither a Party nor Party’s successor in interest shall be considered in breach of or in default with respect to any obligation created hereunder or progress in respect thereto if the delay in performance of such obligations (the “Unavoidable Delay”) is due to causes that are beyond its control, and without its fault or negligence, including but not limited to

(a)  acts of God, acts of state or federal government, acts of the public enemy, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, earthquake, explosion, mob violence, and riot or

(b)  inability to procure or general sabotage or rationing of labor, equipment, facilities, sources of energy, material or supplies in the open market, litigation or arbitration involving a Party or others relating to malicious mischief, condemnation action delays of litigation, and unusually severe weather or delays of suppliers or subcontractors due to such causes or any similar events and/or occurrences beyond the control of such Party.

(c)  It is not the intent of this section to relieve either Party of any obligation that can or could have been performed.

5.4.2  It is the purpose and intent of Section 5.4 that, in the event of the occurrence of any such Unavoidable Delay, the time or times for performance of the obligations of PDC or PF&R, as the case may be, shall be extended for the period of the Unavoidable Delay; provided, however, that the Party seeking the benefit of this Section shall, within fourteen (14) days after the Party becomes aware of the causes of any such Unavoidable Delay, notify the other Party in writing of the cause or causes of the delay and the estimated time of correction.

Such arbitration shall be held in the City of Portland, Oregon, by one (1) neutral arbitrator appointed by agreement of the parties. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator they will request the Multnomah County Circuit Court to appoint an arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have experience in the development and operation of mixed-use projects. The arbitrator shall not have the power to amend this Agreement or to substitute his/her judgment for the judgment of a Party, but may determine whether a Party is acting reasonably if a Party is bound to act reasonably by this Agreement.

EXHIBIT B

PDC Payment Schedule

1.1  Language for to include in DDA regarding draws on PDCs share of project:

 

Payments on invoices for the Project Costs on the Relocation Property shall be split proportionately between PF&R and PDC based upon each Party’s share of total Project Funding. Project Costs are the total costs of the project, including hard costs and soft costs. PF&R will contribute $11,668,177 and PDC will contribute $10,500,000. PF&R’s share is 53%. PDC’s share is 47%.

In order to facilitate prompt payments to vendors and to have each payment funded by PF&R’s percentage contribution and PDC’s percentage contribution, the following process will be put in place:

 

•  The City will request in writing a payment from PDC on a quarterly basis equal to their share of cash requirements over the next three months as per a cash flow projection (“forecast”), adjusted by actual spending variances, as described below. Within three weeks of receipt PDC will provide the payment. This will be deposited in a separate interest bearing account within the PF&R GO Bond Fund. PDC’s 47% share of payments to vendors will be made from the money in this account.

 

o  For the period July through September, the forecast will be due June 15

o  For the period October through December, the forecast will be due September 15

o  For the period January through March, the forecast will be due December 15

o  For the period April through June, the forecast will be due March 15

This will continue until the PDC budget of $10,500,000 is exhausted, the project is completed or terminated.

PDC will honor requests for additional funds between quarterly forecasts if it is necessary.

 

•  Each forecast (after the first forecast) will be accompanied by a summary of actual spending and copies of all approved vendor invoices with related back-up material for PDC review and records. The variance between actual spending and previous projections will adjust the amount of PDC’s next payment. If actual cumulative spending is less than previous payments made by PDC, this variance will be deducted from the next forecast submitted to PDC. If actual cumulative spending exceeds previous payments, this variance shall be added to the next forecast submitted to PDC for payment.

 

o  Forecasts and spending summaries shall specify vendors and categorize the expenditures by type, as follows:

Design & Other Professional Services

Demolition & Site Preparation

Environmental Testing & Remediation

Permits and Fees

Construction

Furniture & Fixtures

The forecasts shall be available in electronic format.

o  Copies of all approved invoices from vendors shall include the following:

Invoice date

 

Copies of consultant invoices indicating project number, project task or service, dollar amount and allowable reimbursable expenses.

 

Copies of construction invoices will be submitted on an approved Application for Payment form, such as AIA Form G702 and G703, showing work completed within the past month that is consistent with the Schedule of Values approved by the Owner. Mid-month accelerated payments are allowed in BGS General Conditions of the Contract for Construction “B”. These requests include an estimate of month-end payment, retainage, and the total payment requested less retainage.

 

If PDC takes exception to any approved invoices or forecasted payments, PDC shall notify the City and make the necessary adjustment to the payment request. The PDC Project Manager may ask for additional or clarifying information, in which case, the requested information will be supplied in a manner as timely as practicable; however, it shall not interfere with the net 30 days payment schedule.

 

•  City will provide a year-end summary of payments by August 1 each year. This will augment the June 15 summary of payments with all subsequently-paid invoices relating to work performed prior to June 30.

•  City will provide PDC a final accounting of project expenses in a mutually agreed upon format at the end of project. City will return any unspent construction funds that PDC had previously paid.

 

•  City will return to PDC interest earned on their money while in the PF&R GO Bond Fund.

 

 

Payments on invoices for the Project Costs on the Relocation Property shall be split proportionately between PF&R and PDC based upon each Party’s share of total Project Funding. PF&R will contribute $11,668,200 to Project Funding. PDC will contribute $10,500,000 to Project Funding.

Consistent with the above commitments to Project Funding, PF&R will pay 52.6% of each invoice related to the Construction Costs on the Relocation Property, with PDC paying the remaining 47.4%. PDC’s maximum contribution will be $10,500,000.

At a minimum, the property will be developed to achieve a base floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.9:1 .

 

4.  Development Goals

4.1  It is the goal of PF&R to develop the Relocation Property with a more active street front than fire station operations at the Current Property.

 

4.2  The ground floor of the building(s) will house the fire station with an access court, apparatus bays and support spaces. These functional spaces are to be designed to meet the operational needs of PF&R and when possible open to view from the street if appropriate. As much as possible, those spaces along or visible from the public right of way will house active uses including educational, recreational or neighborhood retail spaces.

 

4.3  Although a Fire Learning Center was not included as a requirement in the 6/3/03 PDC & PF&R Memorandum of Understanding for Fire Station #1 relocation, both Parties believe that including space for a new Fire Learning Center will contribute to both improved fire education and increase the new Firestation's positive impact in the neighborhood. However, as this development agreement provides only partial funding for a finished Learning Center, PF&R will make every effort to fundraise and construct a learning center, but does not guarantee that it will do so. In any event, at ground floor spaces built for a future learning center, PF&R will make every effort to find an interim active use.

 

4.4  PF&R will be required to meet the provisions of Section 6.6 relating MWESB Programs, Workforce Training and Hiring, Green Building Standards and Equal Employment Opportunity.

4.5   A competition will be held to select the fire station design consultant team. PDC will assist in the process, including assisting in the formation of selection criteria and representation on the selection jury.

 

5.  Preliminary Program

   The following is the preliminary program developed by The City. During design by the A/E team some changes may occur to the program to ensure the operational needs of PF&R are met.    

   31,720 SF for Administration

   3,000 SF for the Fire Museum

   16,500 SF for Emergency Response Operations

   Up to 6,000 SF for the Fire Learning Center, Shell Costs only

   57,220 SF total

 

6.  Parking

All parking is to be provided on-site in an underground structure, except for 12 on grade spaces, 7 of which may be located on street. The visual impact of any above-grade parking will be mitigated through site planning and façade treatment.

 

   74 parking spaces, underground structured parking

 12 on grade parking spaces on-site dedicated to Fire vehicles, of which 7 may

     be on-street spaces

 86 total spaces
