2.4 Owner’s Right to Stop the Work
If the Contractor fails to correct Work that is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents as required by Section 12.2 or repeatedly fails to carry out Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Owner may issue a written order to the Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, the right of the Owner to stop the Work shall not give rise to a duty on the part of the Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of the Contractor or any other person or entity, except to the extent required by Section 6.1.3.

B. Owner
11.2.2 Failure to Purchase Required Property Insurance. If the Owner fails to purchase and maintain the required property insurance, with all of the coverages and in the amounts described in the Agreement or elsewhere in the Contract Documents, the Owner shall inform the Contractor in writing prior to commencement of the Work. Upon receipt of notice from the Owner, the Contractor may delay commencement of the Work and may obtain insurance that will protect the interests of the Contractor, Subcontractors, and Sub-Subcontractors in the Work. When the failure to provide coverage has been cured or resolved, the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be equitably adjusted. In the event the Owner fails to procure coverage, the Owner waives all rights against the Contractor, Subcontractors, and Subsubcontractors to the extent the loss to the Owner would have been covered by the insurance to have been procured by the Owner. The cost of the insurance shall be charged to the Owner by a Change Order. If the Owner does not provide written notice, and the Contractor is damaged by the failure or neglect of the Owner to purchase or maintain the required insurance, the Owner shall reimburse the Contractor for all reasonable costs and damages attributable thereto.

D. Guaranteed maximum price, unit prices, design allowances
C. Alternates, unit prices, allowances
Types of variables may include Allowances (Cash allowance or quantity allowance), Alternate, or Unit Prices.
There are occasions when it will be necessary for the A/E to consider special procedures for certain variables in a project, including:
- Indeterminate Items, unknowns and contingencies;
- Postponement of decisions until adequate information is available;
- Flexibility and adjustment for variables;
- Identification and control of construction costs.
These procedures are used to control costs for administration of unknown of hidden conditions. Note that too many alternates, allowances, and unit prices complicated procurement and awarding activities. If undue burdens are placed on the prospective contractors, higher costs may result for the owner. Therefore these special procedures should not become a substitute for accurate and complete documents.
Guaranteed maximum prices and stipulated sums are not special procedures.
Alternates: A defined portion of work that is priced separately and thus provides an option for the owner in determining the final scope of the project. Provides the owner with a choice between different products or can define the addition or deletion of a portion of the work
Unit Price: Payment is made at a stipulated sum multiplied by the quantity completed. Used in cases where the exact extent or quantity of work cannot be calculated accurately or otherwise determined in advance of actually performing the work. Commonly used for civil engineering projects where the types of work, such as unstable soil or rock excavation, can be identified during the design of the project but the actual quantities of such work items can be only be estimated.
Stipulated sums: An agreed amount for a defined extent of work based upon complete or partially complete construction documents. This is the simplest method of stating the basis of payment wherein a single amount is agreed upon for completion of entire contract.
From PDPG:
13.10.1 Stipulated Sum
A stipulated sum is the simplest method of stating the basis of payment. Sometimes called
a lump-sum price or fixed price, a stipulated sum is a single fixed amount for a described
extent of work, based on complete or partially complete construction documents. The stipulated sum includes all costs to construct the project, including labor, materials, products,
equipment, services, and other related costs. The principal advantage to the parties to the
agreement is that the amount is clearly established in advance.
A stipulated sum contract is usually closed book contracting and the owner is not provided with any information that was developed by the contractor to arrive at the final construction price. The owner is at risk for increases in the contract sum without any understanding of what was included in the original stipulated sum that became the contract sum.
While a stipulated sum contract is common for the design-bid-build project delivery method, it is rarely used with any of the other project delivery methods. A stipulated sum contract is a common contract form for projects that were procured by the low bid or best value: total cost procurement options. Also, stipulated sum contracts are the most common form of contract between contractors and subcontractors and suppliers in all project delivery methods.
