tua! rdationship of any kind (1) between the Architect and Con-
tractor, (2) between the Owner and a Subcontractor or Sub-
subcontractor or (3) between any persons or entities other than
the Owner and Contractor. The Architect shall, however, be
entitled to performance and enforcement of obligations under
the Contract intended to facilitate performance of the
Architect's duties.

formed under the Contract Documents may be the whole or a
part and whIch may include construction by the Owner or by
separate contractors.

sentation that the Contractor has visited the site, become famil-
iar with local conditions under which the Work is to be per~
formed and correlated personal observations with require-
ments of the Contract Documents.
1.2.3 The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all
items necessary for the proper execution and completion of the
Work by the Contractor. The Contract Documents are comple~
mentary, and what is required by one shall be as binding as if
required by all; performance by the Contractor shall be
required only to the extent consistent with the Contract Docu-
ments and reasonably inferable from them as being necessary
to produce the intended results.

words which have well-known technical or construction indus-
try meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accord-
ance with such recognized meanings.

payment is due and (3) with the Owner's concurrence, from
time to time during the correction period described in Para-
graph 12.2. The Architect will advise and consult with the
Owner. The Architect will have authority to act on behalf of the
Owner only to the extent provided in the Contract Documents,
unless otherwise modified by written instrument in accordance
with other provisions of the Contract.
4.2.2 The Architect will visit the site at intervals appropriate to
the stage of construction to become generally familiar with the
progress and quality of the completed Work and to determine
in general if the Work is being performed in a manner indicat-
ing that the Work, when completed, will be in accordance with
the Contract Documents. However, the Architect will nO[ be
required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections
to check quality or quantity of the Work. On the basis of on-
site observations as an architect, the Architect will keep the
Owner informed of progress of the Work, and will endeavor to
guard the Owner against defects and deficiencies in the Work.

tractor, Subcontractors, or their agents or employees, or of any
other persons performing portions of the Work.
4.2.4 Communications Facilitating Contract Administra-
tion. Except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents
or when direct communications have been specially autho-
rized, the Owner and Contractor shall endeavor to communi-
cate through the Architect. Communications by and with the
Architect's consultants shall be through the Architect. Commu-
nications by and with Subcontractors and material suppliers
shall be through the Contractor. Communications by and with
separate contractors shall be through the Owner.
4.2.5 Based on the Architect's observations and evaluations of
the Contractor's Applications for Payment, the Architect will
review and certify the amounts due the Contractor and will
issue Certificates for Payment in such amounts.

does not conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever the
Architect considers it necessary or advisable for implementa-
tion of the intent of the Contract Documents, the Architect will
have authority to require additional inspection or testing of the
Work in accordance with Subparagraphs 13.5.2 and 13.5.3.
whether pr not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed.
However, neither this authority of the Architect nor a decision
made in good faith either to exercise or not to exercise such
authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Archi-
tect to the Contractor, Subcontractors, material and equipment
suppliers, their agents or employees, or other persons perform-
ing portions of the Work.
4.2.7 The Architect will review and approve or take other
appropriate action upon the Contractor's submittals such as
Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the
limited purpose of checking for conformance with information
given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Docu-
ments. The Architect's action will be taken with such reason-
able promptness as to cause no delay in the Work or in the
activities of the Owner, Contractor or separate contractors,
while allowing sufficient time in the Architect's professional
judgment to permit adequate review. Review of such submittals
is not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy
and completeness of other details such as dimensions and
quantities, or for substantiating instructions for installation or
performance of equipment or systems, all of which remain the
responsibility of the Contractor as required by the Contract
Documents. The Architect's review of the Contractor's submit-
tals shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligations under
Paragraphs 3.3, 3.5 and 3.12. The Architect's review shall not
constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise
specifically stated by the Architect, of any construction means,
methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The Architect's
approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an
assembly of which the item is a component.
4.2.8 The Architect will prepare Change Orders and Construc-

4.2.10 If the Owner and Architect agree, the Architect will pro-
vide one or more project representatives to assist in carrying
out the Architect's responsibilities at the site. The duties,
responsibilities and limitations of authority of such project
representatives shall be as set forth in an exhibit to be incorpo-
rated in the Contract Documents.
4.2.11 The Architect will interpret and deCide matters concern-
ing performance under and requirements of the Contract
Documents on written request of either the Owner or Contrac-
tor. The Architect's response to such requests will be made
with reasonable promptness and within any time limits agreed
upon. If no agreement is made concerning the time within
which interpretations required of the Architect shall be fur-
nished in compliance with this Paragraph 4.2, then delay shall
not be recognized on account of failure by the Architect to fur-
nish such interpretations until 15 days after written request is
made for them.
4.2.12 Interpretations and decisions of the Architect will be
consistent with the intent of and reasonably inferable from the
Contract Documents and will be in writing or in the form of
drawings. When making such interpretations and decisions, the

of (1) whether such matters relate to execution and progress of
the Work or (2) the extent to which the Work has been com-
pleted. The decision by the Architect in response to a Claim

4.3.4 Continuing Contract Performance. Pending fmal reso-
lution of a Claim including arbitration, unless otherwise agreed
in writing the Contractor shall proceed diligently with perfor~
mance of the Contract and the Owner shall continue to make
payments in accordance with the Contract Documents.
4.3.5 Waiver of Claims: Final Payment. The making of final
payment shall constitute a waiver of Claims by the Owner
except those arising from:
.1 liens, Claims, security interests or encumbrances aris-
ing out of the Contract and unsettled;
.2 failure of the Wark to comply with the requirements
of the Contract Documents; or
.3 terms of special warranties required by the Contract
Documents.

ditions are encountered at the site which are (1) subsurface or
otherwise concealed physical conditions which differ materi-
ally from those indicated in the Contract Documents or (2)
unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, which dif-
fer materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally
recognized as inherent in construction activities of the
character provided for in the Contract Documents, then notice
by the observing party shall be given to the other party
promptly before conditions are disturbed and In no event later
than 21 days after first observance of the conditions. The Archi-
tect will promptly investigate such conditions and, if they differ
materially and cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor's
cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the
Work, will recommend an equitable adjustment in the Contract
Sum or Contract Time, or both. If the Architect determines that
the conditions at the site are not materially different from those
indicated in the Contract Documents and that no change in the
terms of the Contract is justified, the Architect shall so notify
the Owner and Contractor in writing, stating the reasons.
Claims by either party in opposition to such determination
must be made within 21 days after the Architect has given
notice of the decision. If the Owner and Contractor cannot
agree on an adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time,

interpretation from the Architect, (2) an order by the Owner to
stop the Work where the Contractor was not at fault, (3) a writ-
ten order for a minor change in the Work issued by the Archi-
tect, (4) failure of payment by the Owner, (5) termination of the

given. The Contractor's Claim shall include an estimate of cost
and of probable effect of delay on progress of the Work. In the
case of a continuing delay only one Claim is necessary.
4.3.8.2 If adverse weather conditions are the basis for a Claim
for additional time, such Claim shall be documented by data
substantiating that weather conditions were abnormal for the
period of time and could not have been reasonably anticipated,
and that weather conditions had an . adverse effect on the
scheduled construction.
4.3.9 Injury or Damage to Person or Property. If either party
to the Contract suffers injury or damage to person or property
because of an act or omission of the other party, of any of the
other party's employees or agents, or of others for whose acts
such party is legally liable, written notice of such injury or
damage, whether or not insured, shall be given to' the other
party within a reasonable time not exceeding 21 days after first
observance. The notice shall provide sufficient detail to enable
the other party to investigate the matter. If a Claim for addJ-

and to award separate contracts in connection with other por-
tions of the Project or other construction or operations on the
she under Conditions of the Contract identical or substantially

ties of the Owner's own forces and of each separate contractor
with the Work of the Contractor, who shall cooperate with
them. The Contractor shall participate with other separate con.
tractors and the Owner in reviewing their construction sched.
ules when directed to do so. The Contractor shall.make any
revisions to the construction schedule and Contract Sum
deemed necessary after a joint review and mutual agreement.
The construction schedules shall then constitute the schedules
to be used by the Contractor, separate contractors and the
Owner until subsequently revised.
6.1.4 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract'-Documents,
when the Owner performs construction or operations related
to the Project with the Owner's own forces, the Owner shall be

tions of the Contract, including, without excluding others,
those stated in Article 3, this Article 6 and Articles 10, 11
and ]2.

execution or results upon construction or operations by the
Owner or a separate contractor, the Contractor shall, prior to
proceeding with that portion of the Work, promptly report to
the Architect apparent discrepancies or defects in such other
construction that would render it unsuitable for such proper
execution and results: Failure of the Contractor so to report
shall constitute an acknowledgment that the Owner's or sepa.
rate contractors' completed or partially completed construction
is fit and proper to receive the Contractor's Work, except as to
defects not then reasonably discoverable.
6.2.3 Costs caused by delays or by improperly timed activities
or defective construction shall be borne by the pany responsi.

ARTICLE 7
CHANGES IN THE WORK
7.1 CHANGES
7.1.1 Changes in the Wark may be accomplished after execu-
tion of the Contract, and without invalidating the Contract, by
Change Order, Construction Change Directive or order for a
minor change in the Work, subject to the limitations stated in
this Article 7 and elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
7.1.2 A Change Order shall be based upon agreement among
the Owner, Contractor and Architect; a Construction Change
Directive requires agreement by the Owner and Architect and
mayor may not be agreed to by the Contractor; an order for a
minor change in the Work may be issued by the Architect
alone.
7.1.3 Changes in the Work shall be performed under appli-
cable provisions of the Contract Documents, and the Contrac-
tor shall proceed promptly, unless otherwise provided in the
Change Order, Construction Change Directive or order for a
minor change in the Work.
7.1.4 If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or
subsequently agreed upon, and if quantities originally con-
templated are so changed in a proposed Change Order or Con-
struction Change Directive that application of such unit prices
to quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity
to the Owner or Contractor, the applicable unit prices shall be
equitably adjusted.
7.2 CHANGE ORDERS
7.2.1 A Change Order is a written instrument prepared by the
Architect and signed by the Owner, Contractor and Architect,
stating their agreement upon all of the following:
.1 a change in the Work;
.2 the amount of the adjustment in the Contract Sum, if
any; and
.3 the extent of the adjustment in the Contract Time, if
any.
7.2.2 Methods used in determining adjustments to the Contract
Sum may include those listed in Subparagraph 7.3.3.
7.3 CONSTRUCTION CHANGE DIRECTIVES
7.3.1 A Construction Change Directive is a written order pre-
pared by the Architect and signed by the Owner and Architect,
directing a change in the Work and stating a proposed basis for
adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or
both. The Owner may by Construction Change Directive,
without invalidating the Contract, order changes in the Work
within the general scope of the Contract consisting of addi-
tions, deletions or other revisions, the Contract Sum and Con-
tract Time being adjusted accordingly.
7.3.2 A Construction Change Directive shall be used in the
absence of total agreement on the terms of a Change Order.
7.3.3 If the Construction Change Directive provides for an
adjustment to the Contract Sum, the adjustment shall be based
on one of the following methods:
.1 mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized
and supported by sufficient substantiating data to per-
mit evaluation;
.2 unit prices stared in the Contract Documents or sub-
sequently agreed upon;
.3 cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by
the parries and a mutually acceptable ftxed or percent-
age fee; or
.4 as provided in Subparagraph 7.3.6.
7.3.4 Upon receipt of a Construction Change Directive, the
Contractor shall promptly proceed with the change in the
Work involved and advise the Architect of the Contractor's
agreement or disagreement with the method, if any, provided
in the Construction Change Directive for determining rhe pro-
posed adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time.
7.3.5 A Construction Change Directive signed by the Contrac-
tor indicates the agreement of the Contractor therewith, includ-
ing adjustment in Contract Sum and Contract Time or the
method for determining them. Such agreement shall be effec-
tive immediately and shall be recorded as a Change Order".
7.3.6 If the Contractor does not respond promptly or disagrees
with the method for adjustment in the Contract SUfi, the
method and the adjustment shall be determined by the Archi-
tect on the basis of reasonable expenditures and savings of
those performing the Work attributable to the change, includ-
ing, in case of an increase in the Contract Sum, a reasonable
allowance for overhead and profit. In such case, and also under
Clause 7.3.3.3, the Contractor shall keep and present, in such
form as the Architect may prescribe, an itemized accounting
together with appropriate supporting data. Unless otherwise
provided in the Contract Documents, costs for the purposes of
this Subparagraph 7.3.6 shall be limited to the following:
.1 costs of labor, including social security, old age and
unemployment insurance, fringe benefits required by
agreement or custom, and workers' or workmen's
compensation insurance;
.2 costs of materials, supplies and equipment, includ-
ing cost of transportation, whether incorporated or
consumedj
.3 rental costs of machinery and equipment, exclusive of
hand tools, whether rented from the Contractor or
others;
.4 costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance, permit
fees, and sales, use or similar taxes related to the
Work; and
.5 additional costs of supervision and field office person-
nel directly attributable to the change.
7.3.7 Pending final determination of cost to the Owner,
amounts not in dispute may be included in Applications for
Payment. The amount of credit to be allowed by the Contrac-
tor to the Owner for a deletion or change which results in a net
decrease in the Contract Sum shall be actual net cost as con-
firmed by the Architect When both additions and credits
covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a
change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured
on the basis of net increase, if any, with respect to that change.
7.3.8 If the Owner and Contractor do not agree with the
adjustment in Contract Time or the method for determining it,
the adjustment or the method shall be referred to the Architect
for determination.
7.3.9 When the Owner and Contractor agree with the deter-
mination made by the Architect concerning the adjustments in
the Contract Sum and Contract Time, or otherwise reach agree-
ment upon the adjustments, such agreement shall be effective
immediately and shall be recorded by preparation and execu.
tion of an appropriate Change Order.

ARTICLE 9
PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION
9.1 CONTRACT SUM
9.1.1 The Contract Sum is stated in the Agreement and, includ-
ing authorized adjustments, is the total amount payable by the
Owner to the Contractor for performance of the Work under
the Contract Documents.
9.2
SCHEDULE OF VALUES
9.2.1 Before the first Application for Payment, the Contractor
shall submit to the Architect a schedule of values allocated to
various portions of the Work, prepared in such form and sup.
ported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Architect
may require. This schedule, unless objected to by the Architect,
shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Contractor's Applica-
tions for Payment.
9.3 APPLICATIONS FOR PAYMENT
9.3.1 At least ten days before the date established' for each
progress payment, the Contractor shall submit to the Architect
an itemized Application for Payment for operations completed
in accordance with the schedule of values. Such application
shall be notarized, if required, and supported by such data
substantiating the Contractor's right t6 payment as the Owner
or Architect may require, such as copies of requisitions from
Subcontractors and material suppliers, and reflecting retainage
if provided for elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
9.3.1.1 Such applications may include requests for payment on
account of changes in the Work which have been properly
authorized by Construction Change Directives but not yet
included in Change Orders.
9.3.1.2 Such applications may not include requests for pay-
ment of amounts the Contractor does not intend to pay to a
Subcontractor or material supplier because of a dispute or other
reason.
9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents,
payments shall be made on account of materials and equipment
delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incor-
poration in the Work. If approved in advance by the Owner,
payment may similarly be made for materials and equipment
suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing.
Payment for materials and equipment stored on or off the site
shall be conditioned upon compliance by the Contractor with
procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the Owner's
title to such materials and equipment or otherwise protect the
Owner's interest, and shall include applicable insurance,
storage and transportation to the site for such materials and
equipment stored off the site.
9.3.3 The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by
an Application for Payment will pass to the Owner no later than
the time of payment. The Contractor further warrants that
upon submittal of an Application for Payment all Work for
which Certificates for Payment have been previously issued
and payments received from the Owner shall, to the best of the
Contractor's knowledge, information and belief, be free and
clear of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances in
favor of the Contractor, Subcontractors, material suppliers, or
other persons or entities making a claim by reason of having
provided labor, materials and equipment relating to the Work.
9.4 CERTIFICATES FOR PAYMENT
9.4.1 The Architect will, within seven days after receipt of the
Contractor's Application for Payment, either issue to the

Owner a Certificate for Payment, with a copy to the Contrac-
tor, for such amount as the Architect determines is properly
due, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of the
Architect's reasons for withholding certification in whole or in
part as provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1.
9.4.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a
representation by the Architect to the Owner, based on the
Architect's observations at the site and the data comprising the
Application for Payment, that the Work has progressed to the
point indicated and that, to the best of the Architect's knowl-
edge, information and belief, quality of the Work is in accor-
dance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing representa-
tions are subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance
with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to
results of subsequent tests and inspections, to minor deviations
from the Contract Documents correctable prior to completion
and to specific qualifications expressed by the Architect. The
issuance of a Certificate for Payment will further constitute a
representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the
amount certified. However, the issuance of a Certificate for Pay-
ment will not be a representation that the Architect has (1)
made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the
quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, (3)
reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors
and material suppliers and other data requested by the Owner
to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment or (4) made
examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the Contrac-
tor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract
Sum.
9.5 DECISIONS TO WITHHOLD CERTIFICATION
9.5.1 The Architect may decide not to certify payment and
may withhold a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part, to
the extent reasonably necessary to protect the Owner, if in the
Architect's opinion the representations to the Owner required
by Subparagraph 9.4.2 cannot be made. If the Architect is
unable to certify payment in the amount of the Application, the
Architect will notify the Contractor and Owner as provided in
Subparagraph 9.4.1. If the Contractor and Architect cannot
agree on a revised amount, the Architect will promptly issue a
Certificate for Payment for the amount for which the Architect
is able to make such representations to the Owner. The Archi-
tect may also decide not to certify payment or, because of
subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent observations,
may nullify the whole or a part of a Certificate for Payment
previously issued, to such extent as may be necessary in the
Architect's opinion to protect the Owner from loss because of:
.1 defective Work not remedied;
.2 third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicat-
ing probable filing of such claims;
.3 failure of the Contractor to make payments prop-
erly to Subcontractors or for labor, materials or
equipment;
.4 reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be com-
pleted for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum;
.5 damage to the Owner or another contractor;
.6 re1Sonable evidence that the Work will not be com-
pleted within the Contract Time, and that the unpaid
balance would not be adequate to cover actual or
liquidated damages for the anticipated delay; or
.7 persistent failure to carry oU( the work in accordance
with the Contract Documents.
9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding certification are
removed, certification will be made for amounts previously
withheld.
9.6 PROGRESS PAYMENTS
9.6.1 After the Architect has issued a Certificate for Payment,
the Owner shall make payment in the manner and within the
time provided in the Contract Documents, and shall so notify
the Architect.
9.6.2 The Contractor shall promptly pay each Subcontractor,
upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out of the amount
paid to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's por-
tion of the Work, the amount to which said Subcontractor is
entitled, reflecting percentages actually retained from payments
to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's portion
of the Work. The Contractor shall, by appropriate agreement
with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make
payments to Suh-subcontractors in similar manner.
9.6.3 The Architect will, on request, furnish to a Subcontrac-
tof, if practicable, information regarding percentages of com-
pletion or amounts applied for by the Contractor and action
taken thereon by the Architect and Owner on account of por ~
tions of the Work done by such Subcontractor.
9.6.4 Neither the Owner nor Architect shall have an obligation
to payor to see to the payment of money to a Subcontractor
except as may otherwise be required by law.
9.6.5 Payment to material suppliers shall be treated in a manner
similar to that provided in Subparagraphs 9.6.2,9.6.3 and 9.6.4.
9.6.6 A Certificate for Payment, a progress payment, or partial
or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner shall
not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the
Contract Documents.
9.7 FAILURE OF PAYMENT
9.7.1 If the Architect does not issue a Certificate for Payment,
through no fault of the Contractor, within seven clays after
receipt of the Contractor's Application for Payment, or if the
Owner does not pay the Contractor witWn seven days after the
date established in the Contract Documents the amount cer-
tified by the Architect or awarded by arbitration, then the Con-
tractor may, upon seven additional days' written notice to the
Owner and Architect, stop the Work until payment of the
amount owing has been received. The Comract Time shall be
extended appropriately and the Contract Sum shall be
increased by the amount of the Contractor's reasonable costs of
shut-down, delay and start-up, which shall be accomplished as
provided in Article 7.
9.8 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the
Wark when the Work or designated portion thereof is suffi-
ciently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents
so the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended
use.
9.8.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a por-
tion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept separately;. is
substantially complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit
to the Architect a comprehensive list of items to be completed
or corrected. The Contractor shall proceed promptly to com-
plete and correct items on the list. Failure to include an [tern on
such list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to

nated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the
Architect's inspection discloses any item, whether or not
included on the Contractor's list, which is not in accordance
with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contrac-
tor shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Com-
pletion, complete or correct such item upon notification by the
Architect. The Contractor shall then submit a request for
another inspection by the Architect to determine Substantial
Completion. When the Work or designated portion thereof is
substantially complete, the Architect will prepare a Certificate
of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date of Sub-
stantial Completion, shall establish responsibilities of the
Owner and Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities,
damage to the Work and insurance, and shall fix the time
within which the Contractor shall finish all items on the list
accompanying the Certificate. Warranties required by the Con-
tract Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial
Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless

tion. The Certificate .of Substantial Completion shall be sub-
mitted to the Owner and Contractor for their written accep-
tance of responsibilities assigned. to them in such Certificate.

tion thereof as provided in the Contract Documents.
9.9 PARTIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE
9.9.1 The Owner may occupy or use any completed or par-
tially completed portion of the Work at any stage when such
portion is designated by separate agreement with the Contrac-
tor, provided such occupancy or use is consented to by the
insurer as required under Subparagraph 11.3.11 and authorized
by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Work. Such
partial occupancy or use may commence whether or not the
portion is substantially complete, provided the Owner and
Contractor have accepted in writing the responsibilities
assigned to each of them for payments, retainage if any, secu-
rity, maintenance, heat, utilities,damage to the Work and insur-
ance, and have agreed in writing concerning the period for cor-
rection of the Work and commencement of warranties

Subparagraph 9.8.2. Consent of the Contractor to partial occu-
pancy or use shall not be unreasonably withheld. The stage of
the progress of the Work shall be determined by written agree-
ment between the Owner and Contractor or, if no agreement is

Owner, Contractor and Architect shall jointly inspect the area
to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used in order to
determine and record the condition of the Work.

of a portion or portions of the Work shall not constitute accep-
tance of Work not complying with the requirements of the
Contract Documents.
9.10 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT
9.10.1 Upon receipt of written notice that the Work is ready
for fmal inspection and acceptance and upon receipt of a final
Application for Payment, the Architect will promptly make
such inspection and, when the Architect fInds the Work accept-
able under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully per-
formed, the Architect will promptly issue a final Certificate for
Payment stating that to the best of the Architect's knowledge,
information and belief, and on the basis of the Architect's
observations and inspections, the Work has been completed in
accordance with terms and conditions of the Contract Docu-
ments and that the entire balance found to be due the Contrac-
tor and noted in said final Certificate is due and payable, The
Architect's final Certificate for Payment will constitute a further
representation that conditions listed in Subparagraph 9.10.2 as
precedent to the Contractor's being entitled to final payment
have been fulfilled.
9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaInmg retained
percentage shall become due until the Contractor submits to
the Architect (1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and
equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Wark
for which the Owner or the Owner's property might be
responsible or encumbered Oess amounts withheld by Owner)
have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) a certificate evidenc-
ing that insurance required by the Contract Documents to
remain in force after final payment is currently in effect and will
not be cancelled or allowed to expire until at least 30 days'
prior written notice has been given to the Owner, (3) a written
statement that the Contractor knows of no substantial reason
that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the period
required by the Contract DocumentS, (4) consent of surety, if
any, to final payment and (5), if required by the Owner, other
data establishing payment or satisfaction of obligations, such as
receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests
or encumbrances arising out of the Contract, to ~he extent and
in such form as may be designated by the Owner. If a Subcon-
tractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the
Owner, the Contractor may furnish a bond satisfactory to the
Owner to indemnify the Owner against such lien. If such lien
remains unsatisfied after payments are made, the Contractor
shall refund to the Owner all money that the Owner may be
compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs
and reasonable attorneys' fees.
9.10.3 If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final com-
pletion thereof is materially delayed through no fault of the
Contractor' or by issuance of Change Orders affecting final
completion, and the Architect so conflfffis, the Owner shall,
upon application by the Contractor and certification by the
Architect, and without terminating the Contract, make payment
of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed
and accepted. If the remaining balance for Work not fully com-
pleted or corrected is less than retainage stipulated in the Con-
tract Documents, and if bonds have been furnished, the written
consent of surety to payment of the balance due for that por-
tion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submit-
ted by the Contractor to the Architect prior to certification of
such payment. Such payment shall be made under terms and
conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not
constitute a waiver of claims. The making of fmal payment shall
constitute a waiver of claims by the Owner as provided in Sub-
paragraph 4.3.5.
9.10.4 Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor, a Sub-
contractor or material supplier shall constitute a waiver of
claims by that payee except those previously made in writing
and identified by that payee as unsettled at the time of final
Application for Payment. Such waivers shall be in addition to
the waiver described in Subparagraph 4.3.5.

10s5 no other special agreement is made, replacement of dam-
aged property shall be covered by appropriate Change Order.

insurers in accordance with directions of such arbitrators. If

replaced at the Contractor's expense without change in the
Contract Time.
12.1.2 If a portion of the Work has been covered which the
Architect has not specifically requested to observe prior to its
being covered, the Architect may request to see such Work and
it shall be uncovered by the Contractor. If such Work is in
accordance with the Contract Documents, costs of uncover-
ing and replacement shall, by appropriate Change Order,. be
charged to the Owner. If such Work is not in accordance with
the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall pay such costs
unless the condition was caused by the Owner or a separate
contractor in which event the Owner shall be responsible for
payment of such costs.

by the Architect or failing to conform to the requirements of

for commencement of warranties established under Sub-
paragraph 9.9.1, or by terms of an applicable special warranty
required by the Contract Documents, any of the Work is found
to be not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract
Documents, the Contractor shall correct it promptly after
receipt of written notice from the Owner to do so unless the
Owner has previously given the Contractor a written accep.
tance of such condition. This period of one year shall be
extended with respect to portions of Work first performed after
Substantial Completion by the period of time between Substan-
tial Completion and the actual performance of the Work. This
obligation under this Subparagraph 12.2.2 shall survive accep-
tance of the Work under the Contract and termination of the
Contract. The Owner shall give such notke promptly after dis-
covery of the condition.
12.2.3 The Contractor shall remove from the site portions of
the Work which are: not in accordance with the requirements
of the Contract Documents and are neither corrected by the
Contractor nor accepted by the Owner.
12.2.4 If the Contractor fails to correct nonconforming Work
within a reasonable time, the Owner may correct it in accor-
dance with Paragraph 2.4. If the Contractor does not proceed
with correction of such nonconforming Work within a reason-
able time fixed by written notice from the Architect, the Owner
may remove it and store the salvable materials or equipment at
the Contractor's expense. If the Contractor does not pay costs
of such removal and storage within ten days after written
notice, the Owner may upon ten additional days' written
notice sell such materials and equipment at auction or at private
sale and shall account for the proceeds thereof, after deducting
costs and damages that should have been borne by the Con-
tractor, including compensation for the Architect's services and
expenses made necessary thereby. If such proceeds of sale do
not cover costs which the Contractor should have borne, the
Contract Sum shall be reduced by the deficiency. If payments
then or thereafter due the Contractor are not sufficient to cover
such amount, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the
Owner.
12.2.5 The Contractor shall bear the cost of correcting
destroyed or damaged construction, whether completed or
partially completed, of the Owner or separate contractors
caused by the Contractor's correction or removal of Work
which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Con~
tract Documents.
12.2.6 Nothing contained in this Paragraph 12.2 shall be con-
strued to establish a period of limitation with respect to other
obligations which the Contractor might have under the Con-
tract Documents. Establishment of the time period of one year
as described in Subparagraph 12.2.2 relates only to the specific
obligation of the Contractor to correct the Work, and has no
relationship to !he time within which the obligation to comply
with the Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced,
nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced
to establish the Contractor's liability with respect to the Con-
tractor's obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.
12,3 ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK
12.3.1 If the Owner prefers to accept Work which is not in
accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents,
the Owner may do so instead of requiring its removal and COf-
rection, in which case the Contract Sum will be reduced as
appropriate and equitable. Such adjustment shall be effected
whether or not final payment has been made.
