lien releases, approvals, and certificates shall be deemed the date of completion of the Recycled Water Work Improvements (the "Completion
Date").
All change orders shall be subject to approval by the District. At the time
of approval, the parties shall determine the portion of each change order,
which is allocated to Reimbursable Work.

Such questions, if they become identified as a part of a dispute among persons
operating under the provisions of this Agreement shall be reduced to writing by the principal of Cypress or the Director. A copy of such documented dispute shall be forwarded to both parties involved along with recommended methods of resolution, which would be of benefit to both parties. The Director, or principal,
upon receipt, shall reply to the letter, including a recommended method of
resolution within ten (1 0) days. If the recommended resolution is unsatisfactory to the aggrieved party, a letter outlining the dispute shall be forwarded to the Board of Directors for their resolution through the office of the Executive
Manager. The District's Board of Directors may, but is not obligated to resolve the
dispute. If the Board of Directors considers the dispute, and directs a solution, the action of the District's Board of Directors shall be binding upon the parties
involved, although nothing in this procedure shall prohibit the parties from seeking remedies available to them at law.
