Contractor Needs Permission of Insurer to be Protected by an Owner-Controlled Insurance Program Team Industrial Services, Inc. (Team) found it had incurred a $222 million judgment against it in a wrongful-death lawsuit arising out of a steam-turbine failure in June 2018 at a Westar Energy, Inc. (Westar) power plant. Team sought indemnity for the judgment from Westar, Zurich American Insurance Company (Zurich), and two other insurance companies, arguing that it was, or should have been, provided protection by Westar's Owner-Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP) through insurance policies issued by Zurich and the two other insurers. In Team Industrial Services, Inc. v. Zurich American Insurance Company, et al, No. 22-3275, USCA, Tenth Circuit (November 29, 2023) resolved the dispute acknowledging that Team's arguments were well reasoned and creative.BACKGROUNDIn 2013 Westar instituted its OCIP, through which contractors and subcontractors could obtain insurance protection for work performed at covered locations. Westar had discretion to decide which contractors would be eligible to enroll in the OCIP. Eligible contractors had to complete enrollment forms to be considered for participation. During the time relevant to this dispute, insurance was provided by a Zurich policy, whose premiums were paid by Westar. According to Zurich's policy, an enrolled contractor's "rights and duties under this policy may not be transferred without [Zurich's] written consent." (emphasis added)Westar never made Team eligible to enroll in the OCIP.  Team never submitted an enrollment application, and it was never enrolled. Team's parent company acquired Furmanite's parent company.Although Team and Furmanite became "sister companies," they were distinct legal entities and never merged. Team assumed Furmanite's workload at the power plant. Furmanite's insurance coverage under the Westar OCIP continued even though its service contract had been retired. Furmanite's coverage continued, even after it perhaps should have ended.Team argued to the District Court that it inherited Furmanite's coverage under the OCIP.The District Court ruled that Change Order No. 2 unambiguously retired Furmanite's MSA and left Team's MSA as the sole governing document. DISCUSSION Team ignored that the enrollment in Westar's OCIP was not automatic. Since Team never enrolled nor was it even invited to enroll in Westar's OCIP, nor did Zurich ever give written approval to a transfer of coverage from Furmanite to Team, coverage did not exist.The Change Order did not contain a mention of insurance coverage or the OCIP. There is no ambiguity in the language of the change order from Finally, Team raises a perfunctory claim of promissory estoppel.  Since there was no allegation that Westar knew about the reporting it could hardly have expected to induce Team's reliance. Nor was there any evidence of a promise by Zurich to provide insurance coverage to Team.The Tenth Circuit affirmed the judgment. ZALMA OPINION When Team's parent company acquired Furmanites parent company and took over the work originally done by Furmanite it assumed that it was covered under the OCIP but did nothing to confirm the fact, proving that breaking it up into its component part and will cost Team $222 million. Insurance, even a contract as complex as an OCIP, must be fulfilled and to gain the coverage Westar needed to allow them to apply, Team needed to file an application with Zurich and Zurich had to agree. None of those things happened and Team had no coverage. (c) 2023 Barry Zalma & ClaimSchool, Inc.

The Contracting Handbook podcast is all about the builders and skilled tradesmen and tradeswomen in the construction industry from all over the world and has recently reached the Top 2% of all podcasts globally. Here you'll meet the tradespeople who took a leap of faith from working their craft to running the own construction company. You'll meet people who left lucrative careers to enter the trades. For newcomers to running a construction business, there is a ton of advice on “how to” run your contracting company. For established contractors, you get to meet other industry leaders and get behind the scenes of their business and stay up to date with industry change. Mike Knoche, your host, keeps the conversation interesting. He's been operating his contracting business for over 15 years in the oddly wonderful, Fairbanks, Alaska. Mike's philosophy is “we are all experts in how we build where we live, but the business basics and business management are universal”. Join us for this global conversation on operating a construction company, mental health, cool projects, and construction industry progress. Please leave us a review on Apple  Podcasts if you have an iPhone or on Podchaser if you are an Android to help spread the word about this 100% Independently Recorded and Produced Construction Podcast!

Project changes increase risk, and create conflict. Dealing with change orders is a pain that subcontractors, contractors, and owners all share. The good news is that tools and technology are now in place to help reduce the risk and improve change order communication.  In this week's podcast episode, I interview Cameron Page, the CEO and founder of Extracker. He has construction industry experience, and so he understands the difficulties surrounding change orders.

In the past decade, each successive year has seen hotter and hotter and hotter temperatures, leading to drier and drier forests and increasingly destructive wildfires. Over ten million acres burned in the United States in 2020. With water supplies several times lower in 2021 than 2020, this year is poised to see far-reaching infernos that could presage a new era in the West Coast that looks more like the Sahara desert than the Mediterranean. The implications of a West Coast desertification can't be understated, especially when major population centers like China, India, South and Central America face their own catastrophes-in-the-making. Change Order Group members Mike Eliason, David Friedlander, and Greg Lindsay discuss the data, likely outcomes, and what municipalities, developers, investors, underwriters, and citizens are doing, can do, and should be doing in the face of these monumental existential threats. __________ The Change Order Group was assembled specifically to address the provide analytic, technical, and cultural guidance today's developer needs to face the myriad environmental, economic, and social challenges of today's real estate market and development industry. We are eager to work with curious and serious developers, investors, municipalities, and individuals eager to safeguard the world's built environment--and all that it protects--from the storm that's coming our way.

On this episode I speak with guests, friends, and fellow Change Order Group (Twitter @thechangeorder) consultants Darrick Borowski (@dborowsk), Mike Eliason (@holz_bau), and Greg Lindsay (@Greg_Lindsay). Among other things, we discuss the regulatory, financing, and technical conditions and resources needed to address the myriad climatic, economic, and social challenges besetting today's housing market and world populations. The initial impetus for The Change Order podcast was to expose the public and business communities to groundbreaking housing ideas, projects, and the people making it happen. While education is always of paramount importance, it's not sufficient if humankind has any intention of rerouting humankind from its current and future crises, which include things like mass extinction events.   The highest impact solutions for ecological and societal transformation concern where real estate is placed, how it's built, and how it lives and operates. To illustrate, the Biden Administration's recent climate objectives are impossible in a sprawling, single family home and car-centric America, even if the car is an EV. It's magical thinking. The enormity of humanity's problems require more than a greening of the broken status quo.  I formed the Change Order Group, as a super team of researchers, designers, and builders as a resource for anyone (developers, investors, organizations) interested in doing the right thing before it's too late. More specifically, our team encompasses an unmatched depth of knowledge for every strata of real estate development: from high level climate and economic data to site-specific design. We want to both expose people to the world's best ideas, processes, and resources, and provide pathways for making these things happen.  It has been an honor getting to know Darrick, Mike, and Greg over the last few months while figuring out business strategy. They are three of the smartest guys I know and each have devoted their personal and professional lives to building vital, equitable, and sustainable cities. Take a listen.

Without a quorum, Democratic lawmakers were not able to pass the bill and the 2020 session ended. In response, Gov. Kate Brown issued a 14-page executive order that directs sweeping changes to mitigate climate change.

3 Invaluable Lessons from Geoff Neumayr Partnering is the glue that helps align chaos and keep it from being a negative thing. If you want to gain trust, you have to first remove fear. Expectations have to be in alignment and conversations must be had up front.   This week, host Sue Dyer speaks with Geoff Neumayr about building trust on projects, removing fear amongst your team, and aligning expectations both on construction projects and organization-wide. Subscribe to Construction Dream Team The following show notes are a transcription from the Construction Dream Team Podcast episode 19 audio interview between Sue and Geoff. Please join the Construction Dream Team LinkedIn Group to ask question and have a dialogue with the experts we have featured on the Construction Dream Team Podcast and with each other.  About Guest Geoff Neumayr (1:15) Geoff is the Chief Development Officer at the San Francisco International Airport and is currently leading a $7 billion construction program. The program is using the progressive Design-Build model which was developed at SFO. He is the member of the Design-Build Institute of America Executive Board and will be their president in 2020. Geoff also serves on the board of the International Partnering Institute and was selected as ENR’s Top 25 Newsmakers in 2016.  He is a civil licensed engineer and a structural engineer.   Geoff’s Journey to Running a $7 Billion Program and Becoming the Chief Development Officer at SFO (2:45) Geoff’s journey started in college where he was an architecture major and moved to structural design (3:00) Geoff understood how art, design, and architecture all came together and his first job was at an architecture/engineering firm (3:45) Geoff then spent 15 years as an owner’s representative (advisor) through different projects including projects at SFO (5:00) Geoff learned the role of partnering and all of his experience led up to him stepping into his current role at SFO (5:45)   How Teams Can Become More Integrated (10:00)   Integration depends upon where you want to place the bar and what success should look like, not just on time and on budget (10:08) You have to reset the norm to understand what extraordinary really looks like; it’s not just avoiding litigation, it is LEED Platinum buildings, totally resilient buildings, facilities that bring smiles to people’s faces, things that enhance education, and wonderful passenger experiences (10:45) On your project, you should look at what’s possible, not just how to prevent fighting with each other (12:00)   The First Steps to Progressive Design-Build  (13:00) The first stage, you have to ask yourself the question as an Owner, “Do I really want to get to a better place – do I really want to do more?”  (13:20) You have to have internal alignment in the organization (13:41) In the second stage, Stakeholders should be allowed to be involved in the process from the beginning which brings a lot more people into the mix – more chaos (14:30) We have to have tools that help us identify issues, not problems; they seem similar, but they are not.  A problem, everyone knows about and the damage is already done.  Issues are usually just in certain people’s heads and hasn’t happened yet so no one has been hurt (15:45)   What You Can Do to Increase Trust Levels and Identify Issues (19:55) If you can take time to observe what people are afraid of and then remove that fear, all that will be left is trust. One example of removing fear at SFO:  Everyone obviously sees a change that needs to be made.  It is easy to write a Change Order for x price, the Change Order is written and received, but the people don’t do the work.  Why?  The reason they don’t do the work is because they are afraid that they won’t get paid within a month of doing the work because it took “months on end” to perfect and finish the Change Order. Once the group was assured they would get partial payment within weeks of starting the work, that the fee could be added to the next Pay Application, then they started the work.    What Are Some Exceptional Results You’ve Seen? (24:40) The Air Traffic Control Tower had to be designed to a seismic standard where the FAA could occupy the tower during a major earthquake.  The team looked at numerous alternatives, they were given time so they could dream big but not be rushed to a single conclusion, and they were trusted that they could come up with an extraordinary result.  The team came up with a one of a kind vertical post tension structure, the tallest one in the U.S., and satisfied the criteria beyond what the FAA could even imagine.  This was only possible because the Engineers trusted the airport enough to follow a different way of doing business and that the airport would fairly compensate them for the time and extra analysis.   What Role Does Structural Collaborative Partnering Have in Progressive Design-Build? (28:00) Progressive Design-Build was originally a way to avoid litigation but partnering came in to produce extraordinary results. There’s nothing you can do to fix the “go, go, go” mentality, but a structural collaborative partnering process will fix it because it helps identify stumbling block issues for the program. The rest of the team must then make a commitment to one another as to how they’ll deal with conflicts.   The Biggest Frustration Geoff Has Faced (34:45) The biggest disappointment and challenge Geoff faced was the quality of the work at SFO a long time ago under a Design-Bid-Build project. Throughout the project, it was difficult to get the quality promised in the contract and there were empty promises and disappointments on discrepancies with quality. Geoff learned that the problem can’t be fixed at the end of a project; expectations have to be in alignment from the beginning.   The Best Advice Geoff Has Ever Gotten (39:00)   To marry his wife! But professionally, to go out to the field and ask the person who actually has to do the work what to do when you need help - this was Geoff’s first experience with collective wisdom.   Resources for Listeners   Getting to Yes by Roger Fisher and William Ury   Contact Geoff Geoff’s LinkedIn Profile Email Geoff: Geoff.Neumayr@flysfo.com   Geoff’s Parting Advice (44:55) Take one thing and try to do it better today than you did it yesterday.

The purpose of a change order is to add work to an existing contract. Ideally this work is added with mutually agreeable terms in scope, time, and cost. These terms often cannot be agreed upon and contractors feel coerced into signing the document.
