7
Agreement,
unless that Party has obtained the written consent of the other
Party to such hiring and that Party pays to the other a fee to be
mutually agreed upon.
2.6
Clean-up and Non-Interference. . Contractor shall at all times keep the
Site free from waste materials or rubbish caused by its
activities. As soon as practicable after the completion of
all Punch List items, Contractor shall remove all of its equipment
and materials not constituting part of the Facility and remove all
waste material and rubbish generated by Contractor or that
Contractor has brought to the Site, in connection with Contractor's
performance of the Work, from the Site to a permitted disposal
facility, and restore the Site in accordance with all Applicable
Laws and Applicable Codes and Standards and this Agreement.
During the period from Substantial Completion until completion of
the Punch List, Contractor shall perform its Work so that the
performance of the Work does not unreasonably interfere with the
operation of the Facility.
2.7
Safety and Security. . Contractor recognizes and agrees that
safety is of paramount importance in the performance of the Work
and that Contractor is solely responsible for performing the Work
in a safe manner. Contractor agrees to perform the Work, and
Contractor shall require all Subcontractors to perform their
portion of the Work, in accordance with the safety and health rules
and standards of Applicable Law and the safety program developed by
Contractor and submitted to Owner. Contractor further agrees
to provide necessary training to its employees and Subcontractors
to inform them of the foregoing safety and health rules and
standards. Should Owner at any time observe Contractor, or
any of its Subcontractors, performing the Work in an unsafe manner,
or in a manner that may, if continued, become unsafe, then Owner

to stop the Work affected by the unsafe practice until such time as
the manner of performing the Work has been rendered safe.
Contractor shall be responsible for the supervision of the Facility
as set forth in Article 2.13 . The Parties recognize

contractor.
2.8
Emergencies. . In the event of any emergency endangering
life or property, Contractor shall take such action as may be
reasonable and necessary to prevent, avoid or mitigate injury,
damage, or loss and shall, as soon as possible, report any such
incidents, including Contractor's response thereto, to Owner.
If Contractor has not taken reasonable precautions for the safety
of the public or the protection of the Work, and such failure
creates an emergency requiring immediate action, then Owner, with
or without advance notice to Contractor may, but shall be under no
obligation to, provide reasonable protection as required to address
such emergency; provided, however, that Owner shall in any event
notify Contractor of any actions taken by Owner within ten (10)
Business Days of taking such action. All reasonable direct
costs so incurred by Owner as a result of any emergency caused by
Contractor shall be included in the Contract Sum and chargeable
against the Target Price.
2.9

certificates, permits and licenses required to be in Contractor's
name to perform the Work and as set forth in Exhibit I

approvals, certificates, permits and licenses required to be in the
name of Owner as set forth in Exhibit I.
2.10
Contractor Taxes. . Contractor shall pay all taxes and
contributions for unemployment insurance, old age retirement
benefits, pensions, annuities, and similar benefits, as well as
taxes measured by or imposed on the income of Contractor, which may

by Contractor for performance of the Work. Contractor shall
be liable for and shall pay and shall indemnify, defend, and hold
Owner harmless from, all such taxes and contributions, including

Owner to Contractor. Charges not subject to New Mexico gross
receipts tax shall be separately stated, and no New Mexico or other
jurisdiction's gross receipts, compensating, use or sales taxes
shall be charged to Owner thereon. Contractor shall utilize
appropriate New Mexico nontaxable transaction certificates (a form

certificates from other states, where applicable, to minimize such
gross receipts, compensating, sales, and other similar
taxes.
2.11

review and approval. Contractor may have portions of the Work
performed by its Affiliates or their employees, in which event
Contractor shall be responsible for such Work and Owner will look
solely to Contractor as if the Work were performed by
Contractor. Owner understands that Contractor's subsidiary
organizations, Fluor Global Sourcing & Supply Inc. and/or
Global Sourcing & Supply International LLC (either or both
referred to as "GS&S"), have negotiated proprietary and
confidential "Supplier Relationship Agreements" (whether entered
into by GS&S or any of their respective Affiliates, a
"Contractor SRA") with various strategic suppliers of certain
materials, equipment, and Work. Such Contractor SRAs contain
favorable pricing and terms and conditions. If either
Contractor or Owner procures materials, equipment or services using
Contractor SRAs, then it is agreed that the quoted prices and terms
from such Contractor SRAs are firm and not subject to audit.
Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any related agreements
to the contrary, neither Contractor nor GS&S shall be subject
to audit or adjustment for any volume, cash, trade discounts,
refunds, rebates, freight allowances, equalizations, credits,
commissions or the like under any Contractor SRAs or other
agreements either may have with any vendor outside of this
Agreement and unrelated to the Work, and any such items shall
accrue exclusively to the benefit of Contractor or GS&S.
Contractor and GS&S retain the right to communicate with the
vendor to notify the vendor of Contractor's rights relating to SRAs
so that the vendor does not have a basis to object to continue to
pay SRA volume incentives to GS&S notwithstanding the
provisions in the purchase order to the contrary, if
any.
2.18.2
The issuance of subcontracts shall
not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations under the Contract
Documents, including, among other things, the obligation to
properly supervise and coordinate the work of Subcontractors.
Work performed by Contractor's Affiliates shall be treated as if
the Contractor had performed the Work.
2.18.3
Owner's approval of any proposed
Major Subcontract shall not constitute an approval of any portion
of the Work or a waiver of any of Owner's rights hereunder or
reduce Contractor's responsibilities hereunder. Contractor
shall provide to Owner, on request, information (other than
financial information) concerning the status of the negotiations
with, the performance under and any disputes under each Major
Subcontract, including information concerning specifications and
cancellation terms. Contractor agrees that it will not (a)
terminate any Major Subcontract, (b) amend or waive any material
provision of
11
a Major Subcontract, or (c) settle any dispute without Owner's
consent under a Major Subcontract that affects Owner's warranty
rights.
2.18.4
Notwithstanding any agreement with
any Subcontractor(s), Contractor shall be solely responsible for
the Work. Contractor has complete and sole responsibility as
a principal for its agents and all others it hires to perform or
assist in performing the Work. Except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement, Owner shall not be deemed to have any
contractual obligation to any Subcontractor and nothing contained
in any subcontract shall create a contractual relationship between
any Subcontractor and Owner.
2.18.5
Contractor shall provide to Owner a
summary of bids received for Subcontracts for Owner's review in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.3 of
Exhibit A .
2.18.6
Nothing in this Article 2.18
limits Owner's audit rights to review any purchase orders issued in
connection with the Work in accordance with Article 4.9
.
2.19
Assurances Regarding Payments . . Upon request from time to time, Contractor
shall provide to Owner such information as Owner may reasonably
request as to the status of payments from Owner to Contractor and
from Contractor to Subcontractors.
2.20
Office Space. . Contractor shall provide Owner with access
to Owner's existing offices at the Si
