The above documents form an integral part of this Contract, as do the documents
referred to in the above documents, e.g. the standard IST-30, 4th edition 1997.
All matters on which the parties have agreed or commented since the project was
begun, e.g. during project meetings or by correspondence, are fully valid,
independent of the signing of the Contract.
References to the State Procurement Regulation in Article 0.1.9 in the Tender
specifications do not apply to this project.
Article 2
The Contract Price according to the Contractor's Bid, as amended, is ISK
1,564,692,688, including VAT, in writing: fifteen hundred sixty four million six
hundred ninety two thousand six hundred eighty eight 00/100 kronur.
Article 3
All quantities will be fixed. However, modifications made to the project during
the course of the work shall be quantified separately. In the event that the
Contractor believes he has discovered errors in the quantities for a specific
tendered work, he shall submit corrections to the Bill of Quantities for the
tendered work in question within a deadline specified hereinbelow. All
demonstrable errors shall be corrected by that time. These deadlines are 18 May
2001 for the concrete casting and external finishing work and 18 May
<PAGE> 4
2001 for the conduits and ventilation systems as well as the electrical and
specialised systems.
In the event that either party requests review of specific quantities, the said
party shall submit documents showing a modification, which shall differ
appreciably from the corrected quantities, and the settlement shall then be
based on the new quantities, provided that there are reasonable grounds for
them.
Article 4
The Contractor has already begun work on the project and shall have completed
the concrete casting and external finishing work by 30 June 2001. Conduits and
ventilation systems and electrical and specialised systems shall be completed by
23 November 2001.
Article 5
The Contractor shall provide a performance bond amounting to 15% of the Contract
Price. There is no deposit.
Article 6
A substantial part of the electrical and specialised systems are included
neither in the Bid nor in this Work Contract; in addition, quantities, drawings
and project specifications for the tendered part are subject to some
imprecision. The parties shall endeavour to reach an agreement on price and
performance when final documents are available and shall endeavour to the extent
possible to base their agreement on available unit prices or market prices. In
the event that an agreement cannot be reached, the Buyer shall invite tenders
for those parts of the project on which no agreement has been reached, in
consultation with the Contractor, and the Contractor shall then have the work
carried out against an agreed administration fee.
In the event of additions and modifications to the project, in excess of normal
practice, the Contractor shall perform the work in any event at the unit prices
stated in the Bid.
Article 7
As the documentation reveals, other contractors will be working on the project
during the time of the work, including a contractor for the glass roofing. In
addition, several parts of the project remain to be tendered, such as steel
bridges, interior finishing work, interior fittings, site completion, road
construction within the site etc. The Contractor shall undertake to co-operate
in a positive manner with other contractors engaged by the Buyer for the
project, show them full consideration and reach an agreement with them on
co-ordination and services.
The contracting parties shall endeavour to reach an agreement on the overall
supervision by the principal contractor of the aforesaid project units with the
exception of the part of the contractor for the glass roofing. Administration
costs shall be according to the Contractor's bid.
Article 8
Any disputes arising in respect of this Contract shall be brought before the
District Court of Reykjavik.
This Contract is made in two copies, one to be held by each party.
