GENERAL CONDITIONS OF THE CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION
ARTICLE 1
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1 BASIC DEFINITIONS
1.1.1 THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
The Contract Documents consist of the Agreement between
Owner and Contractor (hereinafter the Agreement), Conditions
of the Contract (General, Supplementary and other Conditions),
Drawings, Specifications, addenda issued prior to execution of
the Contract, other documents listed in the Agreement and
Modifications issued after execution of the Contract. A Modifi-
cation is (1) a written amendment to the Contract signed by
both parties, (2) a Change Order, (3) a Construction Change
Directive or (4) a written order for a minor change in the Wark
issued by the Architect. Unless specifically enumerated in the
Agreement, the Contract Documents do not include other
documents such as bidding requirements (advertisement or
invitation to bJd, Instructions to Bidders, sample forms, the
Contractor's bid or portions of addenda relating to bidding
requirements).
1.1.2 THE CONTRACT
The Contract Documents form the Contract for Construction.
The Contract represents the entire and integrated agreement
between the parties hereto and supersedes prior negotiations,
representations or agreements, either written or oral. The Con-
tract may be amended or modified only by a Modification. The
Contract Docwnents shall not be construed to create a contrac-
tual relationship 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.
1.1.3 THE WORK
The term "Work" means the construction and services
required by the Contract Documents, whether completed or
partially completed, and includes all other labor, materials,
equipment and services proVided or to be provided by the
Contractor to fulfill the Contractor's obligations. The Work
may constitute the whole or a part of the Project.
1.1.4 THE PROJECT
The Project is the total construction of which the Work per-
formed under the Contract Documents may be the whole or a
part and which may include construction by the Owner or by
separate contractors.
1.1.5 THE DRAWINGS
The Drawings are the graphic and pictorial portions of the Con-
tract Documents, wherever located and whenever issued,
showing the design, location and dimensions of the Work,
generally including plans, elevations, sections, details, sched-
ules and diagrams.
1.1.6 THE SPECIFICATIONS
The Specifications are that portion of the Contract Documents
consisting of the written requirements for materials, equip-
ment, construction systems, standards and workmanship for
the Work, and performance of related services.
1.1.7 THE PROJECT MANUAL
The Project Manual is the volume usually assembled for the
Work which may include the bidding requirements, sample
forms, Conditions of the Contract and Specifications.
1.2 EXECUTION, CORRELATION AND INTENT
1.2.1 The Contract Documents shall be sIgned by the Owner
and Contractor as provided in the Agreement. If either the
Owner or Contractor, or both do not sign all the Contract
Documents, the Architect shall identify such unsigned Docu-
ments upon request.
1.2.2 Execution of the Contract by the Contractor is a repre-
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.
1.2.4 Organization of the Specifications into divisions, sections
and articles, and arrangement of Drawings shall not control the
Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in

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,

the Contractor's Applications for Payment, the Architect will
review and certify the amounts due the Contractor and will

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 or 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 pUlpose 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-

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-

the parties seeking, as a matter of right, adjustment or interpre-
tation of Contract terms, payment of money, extension of time
or other relief with respect to the terms of the Contract. The
term "Claim" also includes other disputes and matters in ques-
tion between the Owner and Contractor arising out of or relat-
ing to the Contract. Claims must be made by written notice.
The responsibility to substantiate Claims shall rest with the
party making the Claim.
4.3.2 Decision 01 Architect. Ciaims, including those alleging
an error or omission by the Architect, shall be referred initially
to the Architect for action as provided in Paragraph 4.4. A deci-
sion by the Architect, as provided in Subparagraph 4.4.4, shall
be required as a condition precedent to arbitration or litigation
of a Claim between the Contracwr and Owner as to all such
matters arising prior to the date final payment is due, regardless
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
shall not be a condition precedent to arbitration or litigation in
the event (1) the position of Architect is vacant, (2) the Architect
has not received evidence or has failed to render a decision
within agreed time limits, (3) the Architect has failed to take
action required under Subparagraph 4.4.4 within 30 days after

made within 21 days after occurrence of the event giving rise to
such Claim or within 21 days after the claimant first recognizes
the condition giving rise to the Claim, whichever is later. Claims
must be made by written notice. An additional Claim made
after the initial Claim has been implemented by Change Order
will not be considered unless submitted in a timely manner.

4.3.4 ConUnulng Contract Perlonnance. Pending fInal 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: Flnsl 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 Work to comply with the requirements
of the Contract Documents; or
.3 terms of special warranties required by the Contract
Documents.
4.3.6 Claims for Concealed or Unknown CondlUons. If con-
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,
the adjustment shall be referred to the Architect for initial deter-
mination, subject to further proceedings pursuant to Paragraph
4.4.

make Claim for an increase in the Contract Sum, written notice
as provided herein shall be given before proceeding to execute

emergency endangering life or property arising under Para-
graph 10,3, If the Contractor believes additional cost is
involved for reasons including but not limited to (1) a written
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
Contract by the Owner, (6) Owner's suspension or (7) other
reasonable grounds, Claim shall be filed in accordance with the
procedure established herein.

4.3.8.1 If the Contractor wishes to make Claim for an increase
in the Contract Time, written notice as provided herein shall be
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 addi-
tional cost or time related to this Claim is to be asserted, it shall
be fIled as provided in Subparagraphs 4.3.7 or 4.3.8.

(2) submit a schedule to the panies indicating when the Archi-
tect expects to take action, (3) reject the Claim in whole or in
part, stating reasons for rejection, (4) recommend approval of
the Claim by the other party or (5) suggest a compromise. The
Architect may also, but is not obligated to, notify the surety, if
any, of the nature and amount of the Claim.
4.4.2 If a Claim has been resolved, the Architect will prepare or
obtain appropriate documentation.
4.4.3 If a Claim has not been resolved, the party making the
Claim shall, within ten days after the Architect's preliminary
response, take one or more of the following actions: (1) submit
additional supporting data requested by the Architect, (2)
modify the initial Claim or (3) notify the Architect that the initial
Claim stands.
4.4.4 If a Claim has not been resolved after consideration of the
foregoing and of further evidence presented by the parties or
requested by the Architect, the Architect will notify the parties
in writing that the Architect's decision will be made within
seven clays, which decision shall be final and binding on the
parties but subject to arbitration. Upon expiration of such time
period, the Architect will render to the parties the Architect's
written decision relative to the Claim, including any change in
the Contract Sum or Contract Time or both. If there is a surety
and there appears to be a possibility of a Contractor's default,
the Architect may, but is not obligated to, notify the surety and
request the surety's assistance in resolving the controversy.
4.5 ARBITRATION
4.5.1 Controversies and Claims Subject to Arbitration. Any
controversy or Claim arising out of or related to the Contract,
or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accor-
dance with the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the
award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators may be emered
in any court having jurisdiction thereof, except controversies
or Claims relating to aesthetic effect and except those waived as
provided for in Subparagraph 4.3.5. Such controversies or
Claims upon which the Architect has given notice and rendered
a decision as provided in Subparagraph 4.4.4 shall be subject to
arbitration upon written demand of either party, Arbitration
may be commenced when 45 days have passed after a Claim
has been referred to the Architect as provided in Paragraph 4.3
and no decision has been rendered.

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
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 excluding others,
those stated in Article 3, this Article 6 and Articles 10, 11
and 12.
6.2 MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY
6.2.1 The Contractor shall afford the Owner and separate con~
tractors reasonable opportunity for introduction and storage of
their materials and equipment and performance of their activi~

execution or results upon construction or operations by the
Owner or a separate contractor, the Contractor shaU, prior to
proceeding with that ponion 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-

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 Wark, 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 Wark 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 wriuen 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 Contrac-
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 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, indud-
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 Subparagtaph 7.3.6 shali be iimited to the foliowing'
.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, indud-
ing cost of transportation, whether incorporated or
consumed;
.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 adjl,Jstments, such agreement shall be effective
immediately and shall be recorded by preparation and execu-
tion of an appropriate Change Order.

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

shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Contractor's Applica-
tions for Payment.
9.3 APPUCATIONS 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

substantiating the Contractor's right to 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

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 ro 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.

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.

.
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
pan 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 Wark 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
eXd.ll1ination to ascertain how or for what purpose the Comrac-
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 reasonable 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 del<JY; or
.7 persistent failure to carry out 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 Sub-subcontractors in similar manner.
9.6.3 The Architect will, on request, furnish to a Subcontrac-
tor, 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 days after
receipt of the Contractor's Application for Payment, or if the
Owner does not pay the Comractor within seven days after the
date established in the Contract Documents the amount cer-
tifled 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.
9.8 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the
Work 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 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-

.
oated 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 flx the time
within which the Contractor shall flnish 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
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 Cenificate.
9.8.3 Upon Substantial Completion of the Work or designated
portion thereof and upon application by the Contractor and
certification by tht 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 jurisdiction over the Work. Such
partial occupancy or use may commence whether or not the
ponion 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 ponion 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 or, if no 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 paymem, 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 remaining 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 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 evidenc-
ing that insurance required by the Contract Documents to
remain in force after flnal 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 the 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 Compietion of the Work, [mal 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 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 [hat 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 flnal payment, except that it shall not
constitute a waiver of claims. The making of final 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 wtlting
and Identified by that payee as unsettled at the time of [mal
Application for Payment. Such waivers shall be in addition to
the waiver described in Subparagraph 4.3.5.

Architect, be uncovered for the Architect's observation and be
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.

12.2.1 The Contractor shall promptly correct Work rejected
by the Architect or failing to conform to the requirements of
the Contract Documents, whether observed before or after

or completed. The Contractor shall bear costs of correcting

.
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 Wark 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 notice promptly after dis-
covery of the condition.
12.2.3 The Contractor shall remove from the site portions of
the Work which art 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 flXed 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 cor-
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.

water pollution during construction.
2. CONSTRUCTION DETAilS.
General. In the event of a conflict between these specifications, pollution control
laws, or the rules/regulations of other Federal/State/local agencies, the more
restrictive laws, rules or regulations shall apply.
Authoritv of Work. The Engineer has the authority to limit the surface area of
erodible earth material exposed by excavation, borrow and fill operations and to
direct the Contractor to provide immediate permanent or temporary pollution
control measures to minimize damage to adjacent property and to minimize
contamination of adjacent streams or other watercourses, lakes, ponds or other
areas of water impoundment.
Schedule of Work. Prior to the start of construction, the Contractor shall submit
to the Engineer for acceptance, schedules for accomplishment of the following:
erosion control work, clearing and grubbing, grading, bridges and other
structures at watercourses, and paving. In addition, the proposed method of
erosion control for haul roads and the plan for disposal of surplus excavated
materials, shall be submitted for approval. No work shall be started until the
erosion control schedules and methods of operations have been approved by the
Engineer. If conditions change during construction, the Contractor may be
required to submit a revised schedule for approval, as directed by the Engineer.
The Contractor will be required to incorporate all erosion control features into the
project at the earliest practical time as outlined in his accepted schedule. Control
measures will also be required to correct: conditions that develop during
construction that were not foreseen during the design stage; that are neeeded
prior to installation of erosion control features; or, that are needed temporarily to
control erosion that develops during normal construction.
Where erosion is likely to be a problem, clearing and grubbing operations should
be so scheduled and performed that grading operations and erosion control
features can follow immediately thereafter if project conditions permit.
Otherwise, erosion control measures may be required between successive
construction stages.
3. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT. Monthly payments will be made under this
Item in proportion to the amount of work done as determined by the Engineer
DIVISION 2 - PAGE 15 of 45

4. BASIS OF PAYMENT. The lump sum for this work includes the cost of
furnishing all materials, labor and equipment to satisfactorily complete the
temporary erosion and pollution control work shown on the plans, or as ordered
to be performed by the Engineer. Payment shall be made under Item 2 of this
Contract.
Control measures that are made necessary by the Contractor's negligence,
carelessness, failure to install controls as a part of the work as scheduled and
are ordered by the Engineer, or are made necessary by the Contractor's failure to
perform the sequence and scheduling of work as approved, shall be ordered by
the Engineer to be accomplished and performed by the Contractor at his own
expense.
In case of repeated failures on the part of the Contractor to control erosion,
pollution and/or siltation, the Engineer reserves the right to employ outside
assistance or to use County forces to provide the necessary corrective measures.
Such incurred direct costs plus engineering costs will be charged to the
Contractor and appropriate deductions will be made from the Contractor's
monthly progress estimate.

safety codes.
B. Pressures on sheeting and the stability of the sheeting and bottom of the
excavation are dependent not only on soil conditions but upon many
procedures and options available to the Contractor, such as dewatering,
staging of excavation and installation of bracing, flexibility of sheeting,
construction equipment used, and time of completing the work. All such
factors shall be considered investigated in the design of the sheeting and
bracing.
RELATED DOCUMENTS
A. Recommended Technical Provisions for Shoring and Sloping of Trenches
and Excavations, U.s. Department of commerce.
B. Construction Safety and Health Regulations, U.S. Department of Labor,
Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
SUBMITTALS
In trenches, the sheeting shall be designed so that the lowest brace is no closer
than 12 inches above the base of the structure to be installed. Therefore, the
Contractor shall submit drawings, computations and substantiating data prepared,
and signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed in the State, showing
his proposed sheeting, sheet piling, and bracing design and method of construction
for the information of the Engineer prior to the start of such construction. Any

goveming dimensions and elevations, including field measurements of
existing and adjoining work on which his work is dependent, to assure
proper fit and clearance of each part of the work to the new and existing
structures.
B. The Contractor's attention is drawn to General Conditions for general
information for evaluating existing conditions which may affect his work.
COORDINATION WITH OTHER OPERATIONS
The schedule and progress of the shoring, bracing, and sheeting work shall be
coordinated with the dewatering, excavation, and backfilling work. If, during the
progress of the excavation, lateral movement of the adjacent ground or structures
is discovered, corrective measures shall be taken immediately to prevent further
movement.
INSTALLATION
A. All sheetinq
1. All sheeting, whether steel or timber, permanent or temporary, shall be
safely designed and shall be carried to adequate depths and braced as
necessary for proper performance of the work. Construction shall be such
as to permit excavation as required. Interior dimension shall be such as to
give sufficient clearance for construction forms and their inspection.

private. The Engineer may direct that steel or timber used for sheeting and
bracing be cut off at any specified elevation.
4. The right of the Engineer to order sheeting and bracing left in place shall not
be construed as creating any obligation on his part to issue such orders,
and his failure to exercise his right to do so shall not relieve the contractor
from liability for damages to persons or property occurring form or upon the
work occasioned by negligence or otherwise, growing out of a failure on the
part of the Contractor to leave in place sufficient sheeting and bracing to
prevent any caving or moving of the ground.
REMOVAL OF SHORING AND BRACING MATERIALS

Owner and Contractor (hereinafter the Agreement), Conditions
of the Contract (General, Supplementary and other Conditions),
Drawings, Specifications, addenda issued prior to execution of
the Contract, other documents listed in the Agreement and
Modifications issued after execution of the Contract. A Modifi-
cation is (1) a written amendment to the Contract signed by
both parties, (2) a Change Order, (3) a Construction Change
Directive or (4) a written order for a minor change in the Work
issued by the Architect. Unless specifically enumerated in the
Agreement, the Contract Documents do not include other
documents such as bidding requirements (advertisement or
invitation to bid, Instructions to Bidders, sample forms, the
Contractor's bid or portions of addenda relating to bidding
requirements).
1.1.2 THE CONTRACT
The Contract Documents form the Contract for Construction.
The Contract represents the entire and integrated agreement
between the parties hereto and supersedes prior negotiations,
representations or agreements, either written or oral. The Con-
tract may be amended or modified only by a Modification. The
Contract Documents shall not be construed to create a contrac+
tual relationship 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.
1.1.3 THE WORK
The term "Work" means the construction and services
required by the Contract Documents, whether completed or
partially completed, and includes all other labor, materials,
equipment and services provided or to be provided by the
Contractor to fulftll the Contractor's obligations. The Work
may constitute the whole or a part of the Project.
1.1.4 THE PROJECT
The Project is the total construction of which the Work per-
formed under the Contract Documents may be the whole or a
part and which may include construction by the Owner or by
separate contractors.
1.1.5 THE DRAWINGS
The Drawings are the graphic and pictorial portions of the Con-
tract Documents, wherever located and whenever issued,
showing the design, location and dimensions of the Work,
generally induding plans, elevations, sections, details, sched-
ules and diagrams.
1.1.6 THE SPECIFICATIONS
The Specifications are that portion of the Contract Documents
consisting of the written requirements for materials, equip-
ment, construction systems, standards and workmanship for
the Work, and performance of related services.
1.1.7 THE PROJECT MANUAL
The Project Manual is the volume usually assembled for the
Work which may include the bidding requirements, sample
forms, Conditions of the Contract and Specifications.
1.2 EXECUTION, CORRELATION AND INTENT
1.2.1 The Contract Documents shaJI be signed by the Owner
and Contractor as provided in the Agreement. If either the
Owner or Contractor, or both do not sign all the Contract
Documents, the Architect shall identify such unsigned Docu-
ments upon request.
1.2.2 Execution of the Contract by the Contractor is a repre-
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.
1.2.4 Organization of the Specifications into divisions, sections
and articles, and arrangement of Drawings shall not control the
Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in
establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade.
1.2.5 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents,
words which have well-known technical or construction indus-
try meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accord-
ance with such recognized meanings.
1.3 OWNERSHIP AND USE OF ARCHITECT'S
DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS AND OTHER
DOCUMENTS
1.3.1 The Drawings, Specifications and other documents
prepared by the Architect are instruments of the Architect's
service through which the Work to be executed by the Con-
tractor is described. The Contractor may retain one contract
record set. Neither the Contractor nor any Subcontractor, Sub-
subcontractor or material or equipment supplier shall own or
claim a copyright in the Drawings, Specifications and other
documents prepared by the Architect, and unless otherwise
indicated the Architect shall be deemed the author of them and
will retain all common law, statutory and other reserved rights,
in addition to the copyright. All copies of them, except the
Contractor's record set, shall be returned or suitably accounted
for to the Architect, on request, upon completion of the Work.
The Drawings, Specifications and other documents prepared
by the Architect, and copies thereof furnished to the Contrac-
tor, are for use solely with respect to this Project. They are not
to be used by the Contractor or any Subcontractor, Sub-
subcontractor or material or equipment supplier on other proj-
ects or for additions to this Project outside the scope of the

ARTICLE 4
ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACT
ARCHITECT
4.1.1 The Architect is the person lawfully licensed to practice
architecture or an entity lawfully practicing architecture iden-
tified as such in the Agreement and is referred to throughout
the Contract Documents as if singular in number. The term
"Architect" means the Architect or the Architect's authorized
representative.
4.1.2 Duties, responsibilities and limitations of authority of the
Architect as set forth in the Contract Documents shall not be
restricted, modified or extended without written consent of the
Owner, Contractor and Architect. Consent shall not be unrea-
sonably withheld.
4.1.3 In case of termination of employment of the Architect,
the Owner shall appoint an architect against whom the Con-
tractor makes no reasonable objection and whose status under
the Contract Documents shall be that of the former architect.
4.1.4 Disputes arising under Subparagraphs 4.1.2 and 4.1.3
shall be subject to arbitration.
4.2 ARCHITECT'S ADMINISTRATION
OF THE CONTRACT
4.2.1 The Architect will provide administration of the Contract
as described in the Contract Documents, and will be the
Owner's representative (I) during construction, (2) until final
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 detennine
in general if the Wark is being perfonned in a manner indicat-
ing that the Work, when completed, will be in accordance with
the Contract Documents. However, the Architect will not 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.
4.2.3 The Architect will not have control over or charge of and
will not be responsible for construction means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures, or for safety precautions

failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents. The Architect will not have control over or charge
of and will not be responsible for acts or omissions of the Con-

tractor, Subcontractors, or their agents or employees, or of any
other persons performing portions of the Work.
4.2.4 Communications Facilitating Contract Admlnlst.....
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,
4.2.6 The Architect will ,have authority to reject Work which
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-
tion Change Directives, and may authorize minor changes in
the Work as provided in Paragraph 7.4.
4~2.9 The Architect will conduct inspections to determine the

Contractor, and will issue a final Certificate for Payment upon
compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
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
Architect will endeavor to secure faithful performance by both
Owner and Contractor, will not show partiality to either and
will not be liable for results of interpretations or decisions so
rendered in good faith.

the parties seeking, as a matter of right, adjustment or interpre-
tation of Contract terms, payment of money, extension of time
or other relief with respect to the terms of the Contract. The
term "Claim" also includes other disputes and matters in ques-
tion between the Owner and Contractor arising out of or relat-
ing to the Contract. Claims must be made by written notice.
The responsibility to substantiate Claims shall rest with the
party making the Claim.
4.3.2 Declslon of Archltact. Claims, including those alleging
an error or omission by the Architect, shall be referred initially
to the Architect for action as provided in Paragraph 4.4. A deci-
sion by the Architect, as provided in Subparagraph 4.4.4, shall
be required as a condition precedent to arbitration or litigation
of a Claim between the Contractor and Owner as to all such
matters arising prior to the date final payment is due, regardless
of (I) 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
shall not be a condition precedent to arbitration or litigation in
the event (I) the position of Architect is vacant, (2) the Architect
has not received evidence or has failed to render a decision
within agreed time limits, (3) the Architect has failed to take
action required under Subparagraph 4.4.4 within 30 days after
the Claim is made, (4) 45 days have passed after the Claim has
been referred to the Architect or (5) the Claim relates to a
mechanic's lien.
4.3.3 Time Limits on Claims. Claims by either party must be
made within 21 days after occurrence of the event giving rise to
such Claim or within 21 days after the claimant first recognizes
the condition giving rise to the Claim, whichever is later. Claims
must be made by written notice. An additional Claim made
after the initial Claim has been implemented by Change Order
will not be considered unless submitted in a timely manner.

4.3.4 Continuing Contract Perfonnance. 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 fmal
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.
4.3.6 Claims for Concealed or Unknown Condltlons. If con-
ditions are encountered at the site which are (1) subsurface or
otherwise concealed physical conditions which differ materi-
ally fcom 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,
the adjustmem shall be referred to the Architect for initial deter~
mination, subject to further proceedings pursuant to Paragraph
4.4.
4.3.7 Claims for Additional Cost. If the Contractor wishes to
make Claim for an increase in the Contract Sum, written notice
as provided herein shall be given before proceeding to execute
the Work. Prior notice is not required for Claims relating to an
emergency endangering life or property arising under Para-
graph 10.3. If the Contractor bdieves additional cost is
involved for reasons including but not limited to (1) a written
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
Contract by the Owner, (6) Owner's suspension or (7) other
reasonable grounds, Claim shall be filed in accordance with the
procedure established herein.
4.3.8 Clslms for Addltlonsl Time
4.3.8.1 If the Contractor wishes to make Claim for an increase
in the Contract Time, written notice as provided herein shall be
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 addi-
tional cost or time related to this Claim is. to be asserted, it shall
be med as provided in Subparagraphs 4.3.7 or 4.3.8.

part, stating reasons for rejection, (4) recommend approval of
the Claim by the other party or (5) suggest a compromise. The
Architect may also, but is not obligated to, notify the surety, if
any, of the nature and amount of the Claim.
4.4.2 If a Claim has been resolved, the Architect will prepare or
obtain appropriate documentation.
4.4.3 If a Claim has not been resolved, the party making the
Claim shall, within ten days after the Architect's preliminary
response, take one or more of the following actions: (1) submit
additional supporting data requested by the Architect, (2)
modify the initial Claim or (3) notify the Architect that the initial
Claim stands.
4.4.4 If a Claim has not been resolved after consideration of the
foregoing and of further evidence presented by the parties or

date on which the Architect has rendered a final written deci-
sion on the Claim, (2) the tenth day after the parties have pre-
sented evidence to the Architect or have been given reasonable
opportunity to do so, if the Architect has not rendered a final
written decision by that date, or (3) any of the five events
described in Subparagraph 4.3.2.
4.5.4.1 When a written decision of the Architect states that (1)
the decision is final but subject to arbitration and (2) a demand
for arbitration of a Claim covered by -such decision must be
made within 30 days after the date on which the party making
the demand receives the fmal written decision, then failure to
demand arbitration within said 30 days' period shall result in
the Architect's decision becoming fmal and binding upon the
Owner and Contractor. If the Architect renders a decision after
arbitration proceedings have been initiated, such decision may
be entered as evidence, but shall not supersede arbitration pro-
ceedings unless the decision is acceptable to all parties
concerned.
4.5.4.2 A demand for arbitration shall be made within the time
limits specified in Subparagraphs 4.5.1 and 4.5.4 and Clause
4.5.4.1 as applicable, and in other cases within a reasonable

person or entity other than the Owner, Contractor or a separate
contractor as described in Article 6 shall be included as an orig-
inal third party or additional third party to an arbitration whose
interest or responsibility is insubstantial. Consent to arbitration
involving an additional person or entity shall not constitute
consent to arbitration of a dispute not described therein or with
a person or entity not named or described therein. The fore.
going agreement to arbitrate and other agreements to arbitrate
with an additional person or entity duly consented to by parties
to the Agreement shall be specifically enforceable under appli.

site, the term "Contractor" in the Contract Documents in each
case shall mean the Contractor who executes each separate
Owner-Contractor Agreement.
.
6.1.3 The Owner shall provide for coordination of the activi.
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
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 excluding others,
those stated in Article 3, this Article 6 and Articles 10, 11
and 12.
6.2 MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY
6.2.1 The Contractor shall afford the Owner and separate con-
tractors reasonable opportunity for introduction and storage of
their materials and equipment and performance of their activi-
ties and shall connect and coordinate the Contractor's con.
struction and operations with theirs as required by the Contract
Documents.
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-
fully caused by the Contractor to completed or partially com-
pleted construction or to property of the Owner or separate
contractors as provided in Subparagraph 10.2.5.
6.2.5 Claims and other disputes and matters in question
between the Contractor and a separate contractor shall be sub-
ject to the provisions of Paragraph 4.3 provided the separate
contractor has reciprocal obligations.
6.2.6 The Owner and each separate contractor shall have the
same responsibilities for cutting and patching as are described
for the Contractor in Paragraph 3.14.
6.3 OWNER'S RIGHT TO CLEAN UP
6.3.1 If a dispute arises among the Contractor, separate con-
tractors and the Owner as to the responsibility under their
respective contracts for maintaining the premises and surround-
ing area free from waste materials and rubbish as described in
Paragraph 3.15, the Owner may clean up and allocate the cost
among those responsible as the Architect determines to be just.

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 Wark 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 detennining 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 wriUen 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 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 Sum, 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
consumed;
.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-
[Of 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.

7.4 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK
1.4.1 The Architect will have authority to order minor changes
in the Work not involving adjustment in the Contract Sum or
extension of the Contract Time and not inconsistent with the
intent of the Contract Documents. Such changes shall be
effected by written order and shall be binding on the Owner
and Contractor. The Contractor shall carry out such written
orders promptly.
ARTICLE 8
TIME
8.1 OEFINITIONS
8.1.1 Unless otherwise provided, Contract Time is the period
of time, including authorized adjustments, allotted in the Con-
tract Documents for Substantial Completion of the Work.
8.1.2 The date of commencement of the Wark is the date
established in the Agreement. The date shall not be postponed
by the failure to act of the Contractor or of persons or entities
for whom the Contractor is responsible.
8.1.3 The date of Substantial Completion is the date certified
by the Architect in accordance with Paragraph 9.8.
8.1.4 The term "day" as used in the Contract Documents shall
mean calendar day unless otherwise specifically defined.
8.2 PROGRESS ANO COMPLETION
8.2.1 Time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the
essence of the Contract. By executing the Agreement the Con-
tractor confirms that the Contract Time is a reasonable period
for performing the Work.
8.2.2 The Contractor shall not knowingly, except by agree-
ment or instruction of the Owner in writing, prematurely com-
mence operations on the site or elsewhere prior to the effective
date of insurance required by Article 11 to be furnished by the
Contractor. The date of commencement of the Work shall not
be changed by the effective date of such insurance. Unless the
date of commencement is established by a notice to proceed
given by the Owner, the Contractor shall notify the Owner in
writing not less than five days or other agreed period before
commencing the Work to permit the timely filing of mortgages,
mechanic's liens and other security interests.
8.2.3 The Contractor shall proceed expeditiously with ade-
quate forces and shall achieve Substantial Completion within
the Contract Time.
8.3 DELAYS ANO EXTENSIONS OF TIME
8.3.1 If the Contractor is delayed at any time in progress of the
Work by an act or neglect of the Owner or Architect, or of an
employee of either, or of a separate contractor employed by
the Owner, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by labor
disputes, fire, unusual delay in deliveries, unavoidable casualties
or other causes beyond the Contractor's control, or by delay
authorized by the Owner pending arbitration, or by other
causes which the Architect determines may justify delay, then
the Contract Time shall be extended by Change Order for such
reasonable time as the Architect may determine.
8.3.2 Claims relating to time shall be made in accordance with
applicable provisions of Paragraph 4.3.
8.3.3 This Paragraph 8.3 does not preclude recovery of dam-
ages for delay by either party under other provisions of the
Contract Documents.
.
ARTICLE 9
PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION
9.1 CONTRACT SUM
9.1.1 The Contract Sum is stated in the Agreement and, indud-
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-
poned 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 to 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 othenvise 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 Comractor 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 ambunt 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, I.
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 Wark 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
tb substantiate the Contractor's right to payment or (4) made
examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the Contrac-
tbr 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, (Q
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 reasonable 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 out the Wark 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 Sub~subcontractors in similar manner.
9.6.3 The Architect will, on request, furnish to a Subcontrac-
tor, 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 par-
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
similat 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 amoum 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 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
Work 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 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 portion thereof is substantially complete. If the
Architect's inspection discloses any item, whether or not
induded 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 SubSl2ntial 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
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 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
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 Comracwror, 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 fmds 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.
9.10.2Neither fInal payment nor any remaining 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 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 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. the 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 Subsl2ntiaI 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 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 final 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 flnal
Application for Payment. Such waivers shall be in addition to
the waiver described in Subparagraph 4.3.5.

taining and supervising all safety precautions and programs in
connection with the performance of the Contract.
10.1.2 In the event the Contractor encounters on the site
material reasonably believed to be asbestos or polychlorinated
biphenyl (PCB) which has not been rendered harmless, the
Contractor shall immediately stop, Work in the area affected
and report the condition to the Owner and Architect in writing.
The Work in the affected area shall not thereafter be resumed
except by written agreement of the Owner and Contractor if in
fact the material is asbestos or polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)
and has not been rendered harmless. The Work in the affected
area shall be resumed in the absence of asbestos or polychlori-
nated biphenyl (PCB), or when it has been rendered harmless,
by written agreement of the Owner and Contractor, or in
accordance with final determination by the Architect on which
arbitration has not been demanded, or by arbitration under
Article 4.
10.1.3 The Contractor shall not be required pursuant to Article
7 to perform without consent any Work relating to asbestos or
polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB).
10.1.4 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Owner shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Contractor, Architect, Archi-
tect's consultants and agents and employees of any of them
from and against claims, damages, losses and expenses, includ-

through a policy or policies mhec than those insuring the Proj-
ect during the construction period, the Owner shall waive all

Owner as fiduciary. The Owner or Contractor, as appropriate,
shall require of the Architect, Architect's consultants, separate
contractors described in Article 6, if any, and the subcontrac-
tors, sub-subcontractors, agents and employees of any of them,
by appropriate agreements, written where legally required for
validity, similar waivers each in favor of other parties enum-
erated herein. The policies shall provide such waivers of subro-
gation by endorsement or otherwise. A waiver of subrogation

son or entity would otherwise have a duty of indemnification,
contractual or otherwise, did not pay the insurance premium
directly or indirectly, and whether or not the person or entity
had an insurable interest in the property damaged.
11.3.8 A loss insured under Owner's property insurance shall
be adjusted by th~ Owner as fiduciary and made payable to the
Owner as fiduciary for the insureds, as their interests may
appear, subject to requirements of any applicable mortgagee
clause and of Subparagraph 11.3.10. The Contractor shall pay

by the Contractor, and by appropriate agreements, written
where legally required for validity, shall require Subcontractors
to make payments to their Sub-subcontractors in similar
manner,

as fiduciary shall, upon occurrence of an insured loss, give

ceeds so received, which the Owner shall distribute in accor-
dance with such agreement as the parties in interest may reach,

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

settle a loss with insurers unless one of the parties in interest
shall object in writing within five days after occurrence of loss
to the Owner's exercise of this power; if such objection be
made, arbitrators shall be chosen as provided in Paragraph 4.5.

insurers in accordance with directions of such arbitrators. If
distribution of insurance proceeds by arbitration is required,
the arbitrators will direct such distribution.

9.9 shall not commence until the insurance company or com-
panies providing property insurance have consented to such
partial occupancy or use by endorsement or otherwise. The

Architect, be uncovered for the Architect's observation and be
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.
12.2 CORRECTION OF WORK

by the Architect or failing to conform to the requirements of
the Contract Documents, whether observed before or after

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 Wark 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 notice promptly after dis-
covery of the condition.
12.2.3 The Contractor shall remove from the site portions of
the Work which art 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 Archi!ect, 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 the 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 cor-
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.

and subcontractor shall cause its subcontractors to file annually, on or before
March 31, complete and accurate reports on Standard Form 100 (EEO-1)
promulgated jointly by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance, the Equal

accordance with 1-12.804; (ii) has 50 or more employees; (iii) is a prime
contractor or first-tier subcontractor; and (iv) has a contract, sub-contract, or

contamination of adjacent streams or other watercourses, lakes, ponds or other
areas of water impoundment.
Schedule of Work. Prior to the start of construction, the Contractor shall submit
to the Engineer for acceptance, schedules for accomplishment of the following:
erosion control work, clearing and grubbing, grading, bridges and other
structures at watercourses, and paving. In addition, the proposed method of
erosion control for haul roads and the plan for disposal of surplus excavated
materials, shall be submitted for approval. No work shall be started until the
erosion control schedules and methods of operations have been approved by the
Engineer. If conditions change during construction, the Contractor may be
required to submit a revised schedule for approval, as directed by the Engineer.
The Contractor will be required to incorporate all erosion control features into the
project at the earliest practical time as outlined in his accepted schedule. Control
measures will also be required to correct: conditions that develop during
construction that were not foreseen during the design stage; that are neeeded
prior to installation of erosion control features; or, that are needed temporarily to
control erosion that develops during normal construction.
Where erosion is likely to be a problem, clearing and grubbing operations should
be so scheduled and performed that grading operations and erosion control
features can follow immediately thereafter if project conditions permit.
Otherwise, erosion control measures may be required between successive
construction stages.
3. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT. Monthly payments will be made under this
Item in proportion to the amount of work done as determined by the Engineer

GENERAL
A. The Contractor shall fumish all labor, materials equipment, tools and
appurtenances required to complete the work of shoring, bracing, and
sheeting or sheet piling, necessary to complete the construction, protect
structures, and prevent the loss of ground or caving of embankments, as
shown, specified or required, and shall meet all applicable building and
safety codes.
B. Pressures on sheeting and the stability of the sheeting and bottom of the
excavation are dependent not only on soil conditions but upon many
procedures and options available to the Contractor, such as dewatering,
staging of excavation and installation of bracing, flexibility of sheeting,
construction equipment used, and time of completing the work. All such
factors shall be considered investigated in the design of the sheeting and
bracing.
RELATED DOCUMENTS
A. Recommended Technical Provisions for Shoring and Sloping of Trenches
and Excavations, U.s. Department of commerce.
B. Construction Safety and Health Regulations, U.S. Department of Labor,
Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
SUBMITTALS
In trenches, the sheeting shall be designed so that the lowest brace is no closer
than 12 inches above the base of the structure to be installed. Therefore, the
Contractor shall submit drawings, computations and substantiating data prepared,
and signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed in the State, showing
his proposed sheeting, sheet piling, and bracing design and method of construction
for the information of the Engineer prior to the start of such construction. Any
review or comments by the Engineer shall not relieve the Contractor of his
responsibility for sheeting and bracing.
QUALITY CONTROL

governing dimensions and elevations, including field measurements of
existing and adjoining work on which his work is dependent, to assure
proper fit and clearance of each part of the work to the new and existing
structures.
B. The Contractor's attention is drawn to General Conditions for general
information for evaluating existing conditions which may affect his work.
COORDINATION WITH OTHER OPERATIONS
The schedule and progress of the shoring, bracing, and sheeting work shall be
coordinated with the dewatering, excavation, and backfilling work. If, during the
progress of the excavation, lateral movement of the adjacent ground or structures
is discovered, corrective measures shall be taken immediately to prevent further
movement.
INSTALLATION
A. All sheetinq
1. All sheeting, whether steel or timber, permanent or temporary, shall be
safely designed and shall be carried to adequate depths and braced as
necessary for proper performance of the work. Construction shall be such
as to permit excavation as required. Interior dimension shall be such as to
give sufficient clearance for construction forms and their inspection.
Movements of sheeting or bracing which prevent the proper completion of
the sub-structure or cause damage to any adjacent structure by
undermining or any other change shall be corrected at the sole expense of
the Contractor. No part of the sheeting or bracing shall be allowed to
extend into the structure without written permission of the Engineer.
2. If the Engineer is of the opinion that, at any point, any proper supports have
DIVISION 2 - PAGE 20 of 45
DIVISION 2 . SITE WORK

.
not be provided, he may order additional supports put in at the expense of
the Contractor, and compliance with such order shall not relieve or release
the Contractor from his responsibility for the sufficiency of such supports.
Care shall be taken to prevent voids outside of the sheeting, but if voids are
formed, they shall be immediately filled and rammed.
3. The Contractor shall leave in place to be embedded in the backfill, any
sheeting and bracing which the Engineer may direct him in writing to leave
in place at any time, during the progress of the work, for the purpose of
preventing injury to structures, utilities, or property, whether public or
private. The Engineer may direct that steel or timber used for sheeting and
bracing be cut off at any specified elevation.
4. The right of the Engineer to order sheeting and bracing left in place shall not
be construed as creating any obligation on his part to issue such orders,
and his failure to exercise his right to do so shall not relieve the contractor
from liability for damages to persons or property occurring form or upon the
work occasioned by negligence or otherwise, growing out of a failure on the
part of the Contractor to leave in place sufficient sheeting and bracing to
prevent any caving or moving of the ground.
REMOVAL OF SHORING AND BRACING MATERIALS
A. Whether the Contractor elects not to remove shoring and bracing material,
all such material shall be removed to the extent that the top of the material
shall be a minimum of 5 feet below the proposed finished grade.
