OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFE RODUCTION (http://www.bird.ca/Company/Safety.html )

A construction project is a continuously changing workplace with continuously changing


hazards and risks. Keeping everyone safe requires the ability and commitment to not only respond
to those changing conditions, but to proactively identify potential risks and actively work to
eliminate or control them. It is a journey, not a destination.

At Bird we recognize that the creation of a workplace culture in which we are all committed to
ensuring that everyone goes home at the end of the day just as healthy as when they arrived is
critical to our success. It is how we work.

The term Safe Production embodies this approach and reflects our belief that worker safety and
efficient and effective production are complementary rather than competing means to achieving
and sustaining a positive work environment and successful business outcomes from which we all
benefit.

It’s not always easy. Ours is an industry in which issues and conditions arise daily that may tempt
us to focus on one aspect of the business to the detriment of the other. Expediency, like
complacency, can lead to decisions that prove detrimental to both worker safety and operational
effectiveness.

Safe Production is made easier however, when we work together as a team, thinking about not
only ourselves, but our co-workers, our families, friends, and everyone else that would be
impacted by a serious workplace injury, as well as the impact of that upon our business.
Workplace safety is truly a case where an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.

I am incredibly proud of the commitment and effort I see towards safe production every day at
Bird. It is reflected in our safety performance, in the well-deserved reputation we have earned
among our clients and contractors, and in the sense of family that exists among Bird employees
despite our significant growth over the years.

It is a proud legacy that we are committed to nurturing and sustaining so that Safety
Leadership|Built by Bird continues to be recognized across our industry as not just a tagline, but a
proud testament to who we are.

Contract Types ( http://www.pcl.com/Services-that-Deliver/Contract-Types/Pages/default.aspx )
Every construction project has its own set of circumstances that can involve timing, legal obligations, ownership configuration, cost
limitations, financing objectives, owner in-house resources, and more. PCL is a construction company that offers a variety of
contract types to suit your needs.

The following is a list of the basics of the various contractual arrangements available in order to assist in your decision-making process.

GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE


A guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contract is a cost-type contract, in which the construction contractor is compensated for actual costs incurred, plus a fixed fee subject to a
ceiling price. The contractor is responsible for cost overruns, unless the GMP has been increased via formal change order as a result of additional scope from the client.
Savings resulting from cost underruns are returned to the client.

LUMP SUM
The contractor agrees to build a project with a specific scope for a fixed price. A lump-sum contract is suitable if the scope and schedule of the project are sufficiently defined to
allow the contractor to fully estimate project costs.

UNIT PRICE
This kind of contract is based on estimated quantities of items included in the project and their unit prices. The final price of the project is dependent on the quantities needed to
carry out the work. In general, this contract is only suitable for projects in which the scope is reasonably well established, and the different types of items (but not their numbers)
can be accurately identified in the contract documents.

COST PLUS
Cost plus is a contract agreement wherein the purchaser agrees to pay the cost of the work, including all trade contractor work, labor, materials, and equipment, plus an amount
for contractor overhead and profit. These types of contracts are favored where the scope of work is indeterminate or highly uncertain, and the kinds of labor, material, and
equipment needed are also uncertain.

COST-REIMBURSABLE ALTERNATIVE
With cost-reimbursable alternative contracts, contractors are paid for the work with a mix of reimbursable and fixed or incentive costs. Cost-reimbursable alternative contracts
are effective when the general scope of work and schedule are defined, but there is uncertainty in quantities or execution. Under cost-reimbursable alternative contracts,
uncertainty in project scope is borne by the client. Cost-reimbursable alternative contracts offer significant flexibility for responding to conditions that are uncertain. There are
different variations of basic cost-reimbursable alternative contracts, including cost-reimbursable plus fixed fee, cost-reimbursable plus performance-based incentives, direct cost-
reimbursable plus fixed construction management costs, and others.

INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY/ALLIANCE


Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) contracts, or “Alliance” contracts, represent the latest trend towards a more collaborative approach to delivering construction projects. IPD
contracts are unique in that they require the involvement of owners, designers, builders, and key stakeholders on a project as early as possible— sometimes even at the
conceptual stage. This contract type results in more transparency among all the parties involved on a construction project. Additionally, both risk and reward are shared by the
parties who enter into the IPD contract, resulting in greater integration of resources, processes, and expertise than would be possible under more traditional contract
arrangements.
