ules when directed to do so. The Contractor shall.makeany
revisions to the construction schedule and Contract Swn
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'~ own forces, the Owner ~hall be
deemed to be subject to the same obligations and to have the
same rights which apply to the Contractor under the Condi-
tions of the Contract, including, without exc1udirig others,
those stated In Article 3, this Article 6 and Articles 10, 11
and 12.

6.2.2 If part of the Contractor's Work depends for proper
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 party responsi-
ble therefor.
6.2.4 The Contractor shall promptly remedy damage wrong~

tion oCthe 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 agreemem 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

7.1.3 Changes in the Work shall be performed under appli-
cable provisions of the Contract Documents, and the Contrac-
tor shalJ 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-
templaledare 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 iei the Work;
.2 the amount of the adjustment in the Contract Sum, if
anYiand
.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 stated in the Contract Documents or sub-
sequently agreed upon;
.3 cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by
the parties and a mutually acceptable fixed 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 the pro-
posed adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time.
7.3.5 A Construction Change Directive signed by the Comrac-
tor indicates the agreement of the Contractor therewith, indud-
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 Sum, the
method and the adjusrment shall be determined by the Archi-
tect on the basis of reasonable expenditures and savings of
those performing the Work attributable to the change, indud-
ing, in case of an increase in the Contract Swn, 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,

others;
.4 costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance, permit
fees, and sales, use or similar taxes related to the
Work; and
.5 additJonal 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-
rion of an appropriate Change Order.

. ~ ' r
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 wrlting 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 knowi-
edge, information and belief, quallty 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
e~ination 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~
teet 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 re2Sonable 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 deby; or
.7 persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance
with the Contract Documents.
9.5.2 When the above reasons for withhoiding 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 shali so notify
the Architect.
9.6.2 The Contractor shall promptiy 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, refiecting 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 Sub-subcontractors in similar manner.
9.6.3 The Architect will, on request, furnish to a Subcontrac-
tor, if practicable, information regai-ding 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 matertai suppliers shall bc 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 days after
receipt of the Contractor's Application for Payment, or if the
Owner does not pay the Contractor within 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 Contract Time shall be
extended appropriately and the Contract Swn 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.
9.6 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the
Wark when the Wark 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 item on
such list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to
complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Docu-
ments. Upon receipt of the Contractor's list, the Architect will
make an inspection to determine whether the Work or desig-

nated ponion 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
Atchitect. 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 estabUsh 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 Ust
accompanying the Certificate. Warranties required by the Con-
tract Documents shall commence on the date of Substantlal
Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless
otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Comple-
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.
9.8.3 Upon Substantial Completion of the Work or designated
portion thereof and upon .application by the Contractor and
certification by the Architect, the Owner shall make payment,
reflecting adjustment in retainage, if any, for such Work or por-
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 jurisdidion 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
required by the Contract Documents. When the Contractor
considers a portion substantially complete, the Contractor shall
prepare and submit a list to the Architect as provided under
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 Of, ifno agreement is
reached, by decision of the Architect.
9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the
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.
9.9.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial occupancy or use
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 final 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.
roents and that the entJre balance found to be due the Contrac-
tor and noted in said fmal 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 remaining retained
percentage shall become due until the Contractor submits to
the Architect (I) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and
equipment, and other indebtednesS connected with the .Work
for which the Owner or the Owner's property might be
responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld by Owner)
have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) a certificate evideoc-
Ing that insurance required by the Contract Documents to
remain in force after final payment Is currently in effect and will
not be cancelied 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 fmal 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. m~ 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 l,msatisfied 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, fmal com-
pletion thereof is materially delayed through no fault of the
Contractor or by issuance of Change Orders affecting fmal
completion, and the Architect so confirms, 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.
