Contractor as a party.
13.1.1. Informal negotiations. A meeting shall be held promptly between the parties, attended by
individuals with decision - making authority regarding the dispute, to attempt in good faith to
negotiate a resolution of the dispute.
13.11.2 Optional Neutral Third Party Expert. If resolution is not readily achieved by informal
negotiations, the parties may agree to select a neutral third party to assist in resolution of the dispute
before proceeding with formal mediation. If used, the neutral third party (NTP) shall be a person
with expertise m the subject matter of the dispute and in the interpretation of contract documents,
who is immediately available and who is acceptable to the parties. Depending on the nature of the
dispute, the NTP may be a team of persons possessing the necessary expertise.
13.11.3. If a NTP is selected, the role of the NTP shall be defined by agreement of the parties, based
on the nature of the dispute. It is intended that the NTP shall conduct a prompt on -site investigation
and an informal hearing of the parties' positions, and render oral recommendations for resolution of
the dispute, to the end that the parties may resolve the dispute expeditiously with a minimum of
expense.
13.11.4 If a NTP is used, the recommendations of the NTP shall not be binding on any party. The
fees and expenses of the NTP shall be shared equally by the parties to the dispute. The owner shall
pay the invoices of the NTP after review by all parties. The owner will then bill the other party or
parties for the remaining share(s) of such invoice. It is agreed that, if prompt payment of a parties'
share of such invoice is not made, the owner may set off the amount of such unpaid share against
amounts owed by owner to the party.
13.11.5. Formal Nonbinding Mediation. If, within 30 days after such meeting (or after the NTP
process, if used), the parties have not succeeded in negotiating a resolution of the dispute, they agree
to submit the dispute to formal, nonbinding mediation and to bear equally the costs of the mediation.
13.11.6. The parties will jointly appoint a mutually acceptable mediator, seeking assistance in such
regard from the Center for Public Resources if they have been unable to agree upon such
appointment within 20 days from the conclusion of the negotiation or NTP period.
13.11.7. The parties agree to participate in good faith in the mediation and negotiations related
thereto for a period of 30 days. If the parties are not successful in resolving the dispute through
mediation, then the parties may agree to submit the matter to binding arbitration or a private
adjudicator, or any party may seek an adjudicated resolution through the appropriate court.
13.11.8. At all times during the course of the dispute resolution process, the Architect shall continue
diligently and without delay to perform the services and obligations of the Owner - Architect
Agreement.
