1.0 SUMMARY
PORT COVINGTON
The Port Covington development project is a development effort located within the Port
Covington Peninsula in Baltimore City, MD. As one of the largest urban revitalization
undertakings in the United States, the Port Covington project (the “Project”) is expected to
have a transformative impact on Baltimore City’s future. At full completion, the Project is
planned to include up to 14.1 million square feet of new, mixed-use development; 2.5 miles of
restored waterfront; and over forty acres of parks, green space, and right-of-way. The Master
Plan provides for the development of the Port Covington Peninsula, which when completed, is
expected to consist of multiple phases known as “Chapters.” The development timeline for the
full buildout of the Project is expected to be completed over a fifteen to twenty-year period.
Weller Development Company is the lead Developer of the Port Covington Project (The
“Developer”). The Developer is part of the Port Covington Development Team. The
Development Team is committed to promoting supplier diversity, creating job opportunities for
Baltimore City residents through local hiring, and fostering the growth of minority and women-
owned firms, contractors, and local businesses. The successful Respondent shall clearly
demonstrate its ability to affect certain Local Hiring and Supplier Diversity goals enumerated
within the Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Baltimore1. The City MOU and
Hiring Requirements Rider are respectively attached as Exhibits A and D which describe the
objectives applicable to any successful Respondent that will be performing services on the
Project.

that includes plans for new stormwater management facilities, utilities, trees, plantings, parks,
greenspace, site furnishings, right-of-way, shoreline improvements, sidewalks and one and a
half miles of new roads (the “Ch1B Infrastructure”), and five vertical buildings ranging from
approximately 130,000 square feet to over 290,000 square feet (the “Verticals”).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
E6 Residential is part of the Port Covington development - one of the largest urban revitalization efforts in America, which will have a fundamental and far-reaching positive impact on Baltimore, its economy, and its future. E6 is one of the five buildings currently under construction as part of Chapter 1B, which includes 1.1 million square feet of development across five new buildings, plus 10 acres of new parks and public spaces on the waterfront neighborhood. The total master planned development site contains 235 acres of land with approximately 2.5 miles of waterfront.
E6 Residential is an eight-story, 254-unit residential building (the “Project”). The Project is projected to be 80% market rate apartments (200 units) and 20% affordable housing units (54 units) reserved for individuals and families earning not more than 50% AMI.
The total square footage of the Project is approximately 293,000 GSF with approximately 277,000 GSF of residential space. The remaining 16,000 GSF is ground floor retail. Residential units are spread across floors 3 through 8 with additional walk-up units on the ground floor. The Project is U-shaped with a private street bifurcating it, allowing for loading and car pick-up/drop-off services. On either side of the private street are residential lobbies, with the east lobby serving as the main residential lobby and the west lobby serving as an elevator jump lobby. The main residential lobby amenities include a reception desk, mail and package rooms, bike storage room, lounge seating, and a management and leasing office. An amenity space is provided on the 3rd floor, which includes a bar with lounge seating, billiards room, fitness center and yoga room, meeting room, and outdoor balcony.

or delegate or enter into any subcontract for the performance of any of its obligations under this
Agreement, including any portion of the Services, in whole or in part, without in each instance
first giving notice to and obtaining the written consent of the Owner, which consent the Owner
may grant, withhold, condition or delay in its sole discretion. Any purported assignment in
violation of this provision shall be void and of no effect. Owner’s consent to an assignment shall
not release the assignor from any liability accrued or thereafter accruing under this Agreement.

hereto (the “Approved Subcontractors”). Consultant may request the approval of additional
Subcontractors as necessary to provide the Services, and any additional Subcontractors approved
by Owner in its reasonable discretion shall also be Approved Subcontractors. Owner shall have
the right to review the qualifications of any Subcontractors selected by Consultant and the right to
request the removal of any Approved Subcontractors; provided that this right in no way relieves
Consultant of the obligation to provide the Services. Any request for removal of any Subcontractor
shall be immediately honored by Consultant. Owner shall not be required to join in any subcontract
agreement and shall not be considered a party to any subcontract for any purpose.
(b) Consultant hereby affirms that it will be fully responsible for the
errors, omissions, and negligent acts of its Subcontractors. Consultant shall be solely responsible
for payment of all Subcontractors and all other matters related to or arising from the contractual
relationship between Consultant and each Subcontractor. In the event Owner is advised that
Consultant has failed to pay any Subcontractor as required above, Consultant agrees that Owner
may make all future payments directly to such Subcontractor or by check payable jointly to such
Subcontractor and Consultant, and Owner may withhold from subsequent payments to Consultant
any amounts that Owner paid or intends to so pay to such Subcontractor because Consultant did
not pay such Subcontractor as required above. The making of any payments by Owner to
Subcontractors shall not give rise to any liability by Owner for making such payments or to any
obligation on Owner’s part to make such payments, and shall not create any contractual
relationship between Owner and such Subcontractors. Payments to Consultant and/or to
Subcontractors shall not constitute an acceptance of the adequacy of any Services performed by
Consultant or its Subcontractors.
DMEAST #44156668 v6 7
(c) Unless such lien arises solely due to Owner’s failure to pay amounts
due under this Agreement as to which there is no good faith dispute, if at any time any liens,
memoranda of lien, interlocutory liens, notices of lien, or suits to enforce them are filed against
the Development Project by Consultant’s Subcontractors or anyone else claiming by or through
Consultant, then Consultant shall, within ten (10) days after the date of receiving written notice of
the filing of same, discharge, remove or bond off such lien to Owner’s satisfaction. Until such
discharge or removal, Owner shall have the right to withhold from any sums payable under this
Agreement any amount which Owner deems appropriate to pay such lien and to pay all related
costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, for which costs and expenses Consultant shall be
liable to Owner. This provision shall survive the completion of the Services, final payment, or
earlier termination of this Agreement.

responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold the Owner Parties, Sagamore Development
Holdings, LLC, Baltimore Revitalization Direct Investor, LLC, Baltimore Revitalization Indirect

the performance of the professional services under this Agreement by Consultant, the Personnel

caused in part by an Indemnified Party. Nothing herein shall be construed to require Consultant to
indemnify an Indemnified Party for a Claim to the extent caused by or resulting from that
Indemnified Party’s own negligence.
(b) In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall
be responsible for, and shall defend, indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless against,

Consultant, a Subcontract, or anyone for whom either may be responsible, whether or not the Claim
was caused in part by an Indemnified Party, to the extent not covered under Consultant’s
professional liability insurance required to be maintained hereunder. However, nothing herein shall
be construed to require Consultant to indemnify an Indemnified Party for a Claim to the extent
caused by or resulting from that Indemnified Party’s own negligence.
(c) In claims against Indemnified Party by an employee of Consultant
or a Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose acts they

extent necessary to bring Section 12 into conformity with the requirements of such limitations, and

hereto as Schedule 6, and Owner may condition its approval of any Subcontractor on delivery of
such agreement.
13.4 Exclusions. The foregoing undertakings of confidentiality and constraint
shall not apply to (a) Confidential Information that, prior to or after the date hereof became or
becomes generally known to the public other than by reason of Consultant’s breach or deemed
breach of the foregoing confidentiality undertakings, (b) Confidential Information that is disclosed
by Consultant pursuant to a requirement of law, provided that Consultant shall have complied with
the next succeeding paragraph.
13.5 Disclosures Required by Law. If Consultant becomes legally obligated to
disclose any Confidential Information, Consultant shall give Owner prompt and timely notice of
such fact so that Owner may obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy concerning any
such disclosure or waive Consultant’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Consultant shall not disclose any such Confidential Information without first giving Owner ten
(10) business days to consent to the disclosure or notify Consultant of its intention to seek a
protective order or other appropriate remedy; provided, however that Consultant may disclose such
DMEAST #44156668 v6 10
Confidential Information less than ten (10) days after giving notice to Owner if ordered to do so
by any duly authorized state or federal governmental entity or court of law or equity. Consultant
shall cooperate fully with Owner in connection with Owner’s efforts to obtain a protective order
or other appropriate remedy. In the event Owner is unable to obtain a protective order or other
appropriate remedy with respect to the Confidential Information or has not responded to
Consultant’s notice within the ten (10) day period, or the reduced time period, if applicable,
referred to above, and Consultant has complied with its obligations under this paragraph,
Consultant shall not be liable for the disclosure of Confidential Information legally required to be
disclosed and not subject to a protective order or other appropriate remedy; provided, that
Consultant shall have nevertheless used its best efforts to have the Confidential Information so
required to be disclosed treated confidentially.
13.6 Return of Confidential Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, Consultant agrees that upon the earlier to occur of (i) the conclusion of
the provision of the Services, or (ii) at any time, upon Owner’s request, Consultant will promptly
deliver to Owner all Confidential Documents, without retaining any copy thereof, and will destroy
all analyses, compilations, studies and other material based in whole or in part on such material
prepared by Consultant, and such destruction shall be certified in writing to Owner by an
authorized officer or member of Consultant supervising such destruction.
13.7 Owner’s Remedies. Consultant acknowledges that the Confidential
Information is proprietary and confidential to Owner, and that Owner will suffer irreparable injury
in the event of the use, delivery, or disclosure of the Confidential Information, other than as
expressly permitted herein, and there may be no adequate remedy at law for such violation.
Consultant agrees that in the event of any unauthorized use, delivery or disclosure or threatened
unauthorized use, delivery or disclosure of the Confidential Information, Owner, in addition to all
other remedies it may have in law or equity, shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order
and/or injunction, on an ex parte basis, prohibiting any further use, delivery or disclosure of the
Confidential Information by the Consultant.
13.8 Indemnification. Consultant agrees to indemnify, save, and hold the
Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any damages that Owner may incur as a result of
any knowing disclosure or knowing use of the Confidential Information not expressly permitted
hereunder. Consultant further agrees that, should a court find that Consultant is in violation of the
terms hereof and is responsible for any damages resulting therefrom, or if a court issues a
temporary or permanent restraining order related to the Confidential Information, then Consultant
shall be liable for and pay to Owner, any reasonable attorney's fees, court costs or other expenses
incurred by it in enforcing the Agreement.
DMEAST #44156668 v6 11
14. Use of Work Product. All drawings, specifications, reports, plats and other
documents, work product, or other copyrightable materials created by Consultant or its Affiliates
or Subcontractors in connection with or during the provision of Services hereunder (collectively,
“Work Product”) shall be considered a “work made for hire” for Owner under the U.S. copyright
laws to the fullest extent permitted by law; and all right, title and interest therein, including
worldwide copyrights, shall be the property of Owner as the party specially commissioning said
work. In the event that any Work Product or portion thereof is deemed not be a “work made for
hire”, Consultant agrees to assign and does hereby assign to Owner all right, title and interest in
and to said copyrightable materials or portion thereof, including, without limitation, the worldwide
copyrights, any applicable extensions and renewals thereof, and a worldwide, royalty-free and
fully paid-up, non-exclusive, enterprise-wide right and license to use such Work Product, and
further including all rights to reproduce such Work Product, to prepare derivative works, to
distribute copies of the work and to perform and/or display the Work Product and register the claim
of copyright therein without royalty or any other consideration. Consultant agrees to the use and
modification of the Work Product by other design professionals. Nevertheless, it is understood by
Owner that the Work Product may be inappropriate for use in connection with any other project.
Therefore, Consultant shall not be responsible for the use of such Work Product in connection with
any project other than the Development Project for which the Work Product was specifically
prepared. Upon termination of this Agreement by Owner, upon completion of the Services, or at
any time upon Owner’s request, Consultant shall deliver all Work Product to Owner in both hard
copy and in readily modifiable electronic form (i.e., not in .PDF, but in “native” format), and
Consultant may retain a set for its records, and for no other purpose. Consultant shall include a
similar provision in its agreements with its Subcontractors. This provision shall survive the
completion of the Services, final payment, or earlier termination of this Agreement.
15. Insurance. During the Term, Consultant shall, at its own expense, procure and
maintain the types and minimum limits of insurance specified below covering Consultant and the
performance of the Services. Any Approved Subcontractor providing Services or entering onto the
Property shall also be required to comply with the insurance requirements set forth in this
Section 15. Consultant shall procure all insurance solely from insurers authorized to do business
in the jurisdiction in which the Development Project is located, and otherwise acceptable to Owner.
The Consultant shall procure all insurance through an insurance carrier or carriers, each of which
shall have at least an A-/XI rating from A.M. Best. All insurance herein, except the professional
liability insurance, shall be written on an “occurrence” basis and not a “claims-made” basis. In no
event shall the Consultant commence performing any part of the Services until Consultant has
delivered to Owner the required proof of insurance. The insurer or Consultant shall provide at least
thirty (30) days prior written notice to Owner in the event Consultant and its insurer or insurers
materially change, cancel or non-renew any insurance policy. The following insurance coverage
is required:
15.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance. Commercial general liability
insurance on a form at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (“ISO”) commercial general
liability coverage “occurrence” form CG 00 01 04 13, or another “occurrence” form providing
equivalent coverage and approved in writing by Owner, with limits of liability equal to the greater
of (i) the limits set forth in Consultant’s commercial general liability policy or (ii) the following
amounts: $2,000,000 per occurrence limit for bodily injury, including death, and property damage;
$1,000,000 personal and advertising injury; $2,000,000 general aggregate (other than products and
DMEAST #44156668 v6 12
completed operations), and $2,000,000 aggregate for products and completed operations. The
commercial general liability insurance shall cover: premises and ongoing operations; bodily injury;
property damage (including loss of use); contractual liability, personal and advertising injury;
products and completed operations; and shall name the Indemnified Parties as additional insureds
using ISO forms CG 20 10 10 01 and CG 20 37 10 01. The additional insured coverage for the
Indemnified Parties shall be on a primary and non-contributory basis with limits exhausting
vertically and shall be as broad as that afforded the named insured. Owner may reasonably require
higher liability limits or aggregate coverages at any time during the Term if in Owner’s sole
discretion, the risk warrants. Owner will give Consultant reasonable notice of any requirement for
higher liability limits or aggregate coverages and any agreed-upon change to the liability limits or
aggregate coverages would be made effective upon renewal of the insurance policy at issue.
15.2 Professional Liability Insurance. Limit of Liability: $2,000,000 with a
deductible not to exceed $25,000 without Owner’s prior written consent. The professional liability
insurance shall cover wrongful acts, errors and omissions, including liability assumed under this
Agreement. If this coverage is procured on a claims-made basis, Consultant shall maintain
coverage for occurrences arising out of the performance of the Services in full force and effect
under the policy with either an extended reporting period of at least three (3) years or equivalent
“tail” coverage for a period of at least three (3) years after completion of the Services. Consultant
warrants that any applicable retroactive date precedes the date the Consultant first performed
Services under this Agreement
15.3 Automobile Liability Insurance. Commercial (business) automobile
liability insurance issued on a form at least as broad as ISO business auto coverage form CA 00
01 10 13, or other form providing equivalent coverage, approved by Owner in writing, with
minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence combined single limit for bodily injury, including
death, and property damage liability, arising from owned, borrowed, non-owned, and hired
vehicles (Symbol 1) when any motor vehicle is used in connection with the Services.
15.4 Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability. Workers’
Compensation with minimum limits as required by statute, and employers’ liability insurance, with
limits of (1) $500,000 Each Accident–Bodily Injury by Accident; (2) $500,000 Each Employee-
Bodily Injury by Disease; and (3) $500,000 Policy Limit-Bodily Injury by Disease. Consultant
hereby waives all rights of recovery against Owner and the other Indemnified Parties arising out
of claims made under the workers’ compensation or employers’ liability insurance required to be
maintained under this Agreement, and all such insurance shall include, by endorsement or
otherwise, a waiver of subrogation in favor of Owner and the other Indemnified Parties.
15.5 Umbrella Liability Insurance. Umbrella liability insurance on a follow-form
basis with respect to the insurance required pursuant to Sections 15.1, 15.3, and 15.4, with
minimum limits equal to the greater of (i) the limits set forth in Consultant’s umbrella liability
policy or (ii) $5,000,000 per occurrence, and otherwise satisfying the requirements set forth in
Sections 15.1, 15.3, and 15.4 above. The umbrella liability insurance effective dates shall run
concurrently with the underlying coverages.
Consultant agrees to maintain and keep in full force and effect the insurance policies outlined in
Sections 15.1, 15.3, 15.4, and 15.5 above for a minimum of three (3) years after the later of the
DMEAST #44156668 v6 13
completion of the Services, final payment, or earlier termination of this Agreement. Consultant
shall deliver certificates of insurance, policy declarations pages, and additional insured
endorsements providing proof of the additional insureds’ coverage to Owner at least ten (10) days
before commencing the Services, and if any of the insurance policies initially obtained by
Consultant are scheduled to expire prior to completion of the Services, then no later than ten (10)
days prior to the expiration of such policy, Consultant shall provide to Owner a renewal certificate
of insurance, declarations page(s), and policy endorsements providing proof of continuous
coverage in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. Under no circumstances shall
Consultant commence any Services without providing the evidence of insurance as required above.
Consultant shall not self-insure any of the coverages required under this Agreement without
Owner’s prior written consent. Owner reserves the right to require Consultant to provide certified
copies of the original policies of all insurance required under this Agreement at any time upon ten
(10) days written notice to Consultant subject to Owner’s agreement to keep such policies
confidential. The issuance or maintenance of insurance of any type by Consultant will not be
deemed or construed to release, limit, waive, or discharge Consultant from any of the obligations
and risks imposed by this Agreement or applicable law upon Consultant. Neither failure by Owner
to require proof of insurance from Consultant nor the contents of a certificate of insurance provided
by Consultant shall be deemed a waiver of Owner’s or any other additional insured’s rights or
Consultant’s obligations regarding the provision of insurance under this Agreement.
16. Compliance with City MOU. Consultant acknowledges that it has received and
reviewed the City MOU and agrees to be bound to all terms and provisions thereof that are
applicable to Consultant under the terms of the City MOU.
16.1 Hiring Requirements Rider. A summary of the requirements applicable to
the Services is attached as Schedule 16.1 (the “Hiring Requirements Rider”). In the event
Consultant fails to perform any of its obligations set forth in the Hiring Requirements Rider, Owner
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and suspend or disbar Consultant from performing
any future work at the Development Project.
16.2 Supplier Diversity. Consultant has been advised that, pursuant to the City
MOU, Supplier Diversity standards of 27% MBE and 10% WBE have been set as “goals and
guidelines” for this Agreement; accordingly, in working with Sub-Contractors, Consultant agrees
to use good faith efforts to meet such goals and guidelines.
16.3 Reporting. Consultant agrees to fill out and submit with each invoice such
reports as Owner may require in providing information regarding Consultant’s compliance with
this Section 16.
17. Survivability of Terms. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement,
Consultant’s obligations under Sections 12 through 16 shall survive and remain in full force and
effect.

Supplier Diversity Rules
[Section references are to Baltimore City Code, Article 5, Subtitle 28 – Minority and Women’s Business
Enterprise; Small Local Business Enterprises]
• Dual certification: A contractor may count work done by a business that is certified by
MWBOO as both an MBE and a WBE toward either participation goal, but not both. A contract
awarded to a single business may not be split between MBE and WBE goals. The contractor
must select the goal toward which the MBE/WBE’s work is to be counted. (§ 28-31(b); § 28-35).
• Payment required: An MBE or WBE’s participation does not count toward the participation
goal until payment has been made to the MBE or WBE. (§ 28-31(c)).
• Self performance: If the contractor is itself a certified MBE or WBE, it may count up to 50% of
the dollar value the contractor intends to perform toward the applicable MBE or WBE
participation goal, up to the available work capacity calculated in accordance with contractor pre-
qualification rules. (§ 28-31(d)).
• Commercially useful function: MBEs and WBEs must perform a “commercially useful
function” for the contracted work. This means real and distinct work for which the business
enterprise has the skill, expertise, and actual responsibility to perform, manage and supervise. (§
28-32).
• Joint ventures: In the case of contracts with a joint venture in which one partner is a certified
MBE or WBE, a contractor may count toward its MBE or WBE goal the portion of the its
expenditure equal to the percentage of the MBE or WBE’s participation in the joint venture. For
example, if the MBE or WBE has a 25% equity interest in the joint venture, the contractor may
count 25% of its contract expenditure toward the applicable participation goal. For this provision
to apply, the MBE or WBE must (1) have an interest in the control, management, risks, and
operation of the joint venture, and (2) be responsible for a distinct, clearly defined portion of the
work, each commensurate with its percentage share in the business. (§ 28-33).
• Subcontracting by MBE/WBE: A contractor may not count toward the participation goal any
contracts with a certified MBE or WBE that intends to subcontract more than 10% of the dollar
amount of the services (excluding materials, equipment and supplies) to be performed under the
contract. (§ 28-34).
• Manufacturers and suppliers. If a contractor hires a certified MBE/WBE supplier that: (1)
manufactures the goods supplied, (2) is a wholesaler warehousing the goods supplied, or (3) is a
manufacturer’s representative, the contractor may apply 100% of the expenditure to the
participation goals. However, only 25% of the participation goal may be attained by expenditures
to certified MBE/WBEs that are non-manufacturing suppliers. There may be discretionary
exceptions to this limit in the case of a contract in which an extraordinarily large proportion of the
contract price is for equipment or supplies. (§ 28-37).
• Insurance companies and travel agents. A contractor may count toward the participation goal
fees or commissions charged by a certified MBE/WBE insurance company, travel agent, or
financial institution, provided the fee or commission is reasonable. (§ 28-38; § 28-39).
Professional Services-Good Faith
DMEAST #44156668 v6 Sch. 16.1 – Page 14
• Non-Affiliation. A contractor may not use a contract with an MBE or WBE in which the
contractor has a financial interest to meet the applicable participation goal. (§ 28-39).
• Maintaining levels during contract term. The contractor must maintain the MBE/WBE
participation levels throughout the term of the contract. Failure to do so will be considered a
material breach of contract. (§ 28-48(e)).
• Payments to subcontractors. The contractor must pay its subcontractors in a timely fashion for
satisfactory work. A payment is timely if it is mailed, delivered, or transferred to a subcontractor
no later than 7 days of contractor’s receipt of funds for the subcontractor’s work. At any time
during the contract term, the contractor must provide Sagamore with evidence that all
subcontractors have been paid out of the proceeds of the prior payment, unless a bona fide
dispute, documented in writing, exists between the contractor and the unpaid subcontractor. (§
28-55).
