NEER as providing a workable arrangement for processing the submissions. The
finalized schedule of values will be acceptable to ENGINEER as to form and
substance.
Intent:
ARTICLE 3-- CONTRACT DOCUMENTS:
INTENT, AMENDING, REUSE
3.1 The Contract Documents comprise the entire agreement between
OWNER and CONTRACTOR concerning the Work. The Contract Documents are
complementary; what is called for by one is as binding as if called for by all. The
Contract Documents will be construed in accordance with the law of the place of
the Project.
3.2 It is the intent of the Contract Documents to describe a functionally
complete Project (or part thereof) to be constructed in accordance with the
Contract Documents. Any Work, materials or equipment that may reasonably be
inferred from the Contract Documents as being required to produce the intended
result will be supplied whether or not specifically called for. When words which
have a well -known technical or trade meaning are used to describe Work, materials
or equipment, such words shall be interpreted in accordance with that meaning.
Reference to standard specifications, manuals or codes of any technical society,
organization or association, or to the Laws or Regulations of any governmental
authority, whether such reference be specific or by implication, shall mean the
latest standard specification, manual, code or Laws or Regulations in effect at the
GC -6
time of opening of Bids (or, on the Effective Dateof the Agreement if there were no
Bids), except as may be otherwise specifically stated. However, no provision of any
referenced standard specification, manual or code (whether or not specifically
incorporated by reference in the Contract Documents) shall be effective to change
the duties and responsibilities of OWNER, CONTRACTOR or ENGINEER, or any of
their consultants, agents or employees from those set forth in the Contract
Documents, nor shall it be effective to assign to ENGINEER, or any of ENGINEER's
consultants, agents or employees, any duty or authority to supervise or direct the
furnishing or performance of the Work or any duty or authority to undertake
responsibility contrary to the provisions of paragraph 9.15 or 9.16. Clarifications
and interpretations of the Contract Documents shall be issued by ENGINEER as
provided in paragraph 9.4.
3.3 If, during the performance of the Work, CONTRACTOR finds a conflict,
error or discrepancy in the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR shall so report to
ENGINEER in writing at once and before proceeding with the Work affected thereby
shall obtain a written interpretation or clarification from ENGINEER; however,
CONTRACTOR shall not be liable to OWNER or ENGINEER for failure to report
any conflict, error or discrepancy in the Contract Documents unless CONTRACTOR
had actual knowledge thereof or should reasonably have known thereof.
Amending and Supplementing Contract Documents:
3.4 The Contract Documents may be amended to provide for additions,
deletions and revisions in the Work or to modify the terms and conditions thereof in
one or more of the following ways:
3.4.1 a formal Written Amendment,
3.4.2 a Change Order (pursuant to paragraph 10.4), or
3.4.3 a Work Directive Change (pursuant to paragraph 10.1).
As indicated in paragraphs 11.2 and 12.1, Contract Price and Contract
Time may only be changed by a Change Order or a Written Amendment.
3.5 In addition, the requirements of the Contract Documents may be
supplemented, and minor variations and deviations in the Work may be authorized, in
one or more of the following ways:
3.5.1 a Field Order (pursuant to paragraph 9.5),
3.52 ENGINEER's approval of a Shop Drawing or sample (pursuant to para-
graphs 6.26 and 6.27), or

3.5.3 ENGINEER's written interpretation or clarification (pursuant to para-
graph 9.4).
Reuse of Documents:
3.6 Neither CONTRACTOR nor any Subcontractor or Supplier or other
person or organization performing or furnishing any of the Work under a direct or
indirect contract with OWNER shall have or acquire any title to or ownership rights
in any of the Drawings, Specifications or other documents (or copies of any thereof)
prepared by or bearing the seal of ENGINEER; and they shall not reuse any of them
on extensions of the Project or any other project withoug written consent of
OWNER and ENGINEER and specific written verification or adaptation by
ENGINEER.
Availability of Lands:
ARTICLE 4—AVAILABILITY OF LANDS: PHYSICAL
CONDITIONS; REFERENCE POINTS
4.1 OWNER shall furnish, as indicated in the Contract Documents, the lands
upon which the Work is to be performed, rights -of -way and easements for access
thereto, and such other lands which are designated for the use of CONTRACTOR.
Easements for permanent structures or permanent changes in existing facilities will
be obtained and paid for by OWNER, unless otherwise provided in the Contract
Documents. If CONTRACTOR believes that any delay in OWNER's furnishing these
lands, rights -of -way or easements entitles CONTRACTOR to an extension of the
Contract Time, CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefore as provided in
Article 12. CONTRACTOR shall provide for all additional lands and access thereto
that may be required for temporary construction facilities or storage of materials
and equipment.
Physical Conditions:
• 4.2.1 Explorations and Reports. Reference is made to the Supplementary
Conditions for identification of those reports of explorations and tests of
subsurface conditions at the site that have been utilized by ENGINEER
in preparation of the Contract Documents. CONTRACTOR may rely
upon the accuracy of the technical data contained in such reports, but
not upon nontechnical data, interpretations or opinions contained therein
or for the completeness thereof for CONTRACTOR's purposes. Except
as indicated in the immediately preceding sentence and in para-
graph 4.2.6, CONTRACTOR shall have full responsibility with respect to
subsurface conditions at the site.

nical data contained in such drawings, but not for the completeness
thereof for CONTRACTOR's purposes. Except as indicated in the
immediately preceding sentence and in paragraph 4.2.6, CONTRACTOR
shall have full responsibility with respect to physical conditions in or
relating to such structures.
4.Z.3 Report of Differing Conditions. If CONTRACTOR believes that:
4.2.3.1 any technical data on which CONTRACTOR is entitled to rely as
provided in paragraphs 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 is inaccurate, or
4.2.3.2 any physical condition uncovered or revealed at the site differs
materially from that indicated, reflected or referred to in the
Contract Documents,
CONTRACTOR shall, promptly after becoming aware thereof and before
performing any Work in connection therewith (except in an emergency as
permitted by paragraph 6.22), notify OWNER and ENGINEER in writing
about the inaccuracy or difference.
4.2.4 ENGINEER's Review. ENGINEER will promptly review the pertinent
conditions, determine the necessity of obtaining additional explorations
or tests with respect thereto and advise OWNER in writing (with a copy
to CONTRACTOR) of ENGINEER's findings and conclusions.
4.2.5 Possible Document Change. If ENGINEER concludes that there is a
material error in the Contract Documents or that because of newly
discovered conditions a change in the Contract Documents is required, a
Work Directive Change or a Change Order will be issued as provided in
Article 10 to reflect and document the consequences of the inaccuracy
or difference.
4.2.6 Possible Price and Time Adjustments. In each such case, an increase or
decrease in the Contract Price or an extension or shortening of the
Contract Time, or any combination thereof, will be allowable to the
extent that they are attributable to any such inaccuracy or difference.
If OWNER and CONTRACTOR are unable to agree as to the amount or
length thereof, a claim may be made therefor as provided in Articles 11
and 12.

GC -13
of them wishes property insurance coverage within the limits of such amounts, each
may purchase and maintain it at the purchaser's own expense.
5.10 If CONTRACTOR requests in writing that other special insurance be
included in the property insurance policy, OWNER shall, if possible, include such
insurance, and the cost thereof will be charged to CONTRACTOR by appropriate
Change Order or Written Amendment. Prior to commencement of the Work at the
site, OWNER shall in writing advise CONTRACTOR whether or not such other
insurance has been procured by OWNER.
Waiver of Rights:
5.11.1 OWNER and CONTRACTOR waive all rights against each other for all
losses and damages caused by any of the perils covered by the policies of
insurance provided in response to paragraphs 5.6 and 5.7 and any other
property insurance applicable to the Work, and also waive all such rights
against the Subcontractors, ENGINEER, ENGINEER's consultants and all
other parties named as insureds in such policies for losses and damages
so caused. As required by paragraph 6.11, each subcontract between
CONTRACTOR and a Subcontractor will contain similar waiver pro-
visions by the Subcontractor in favor of OWNER, CONTRACTOR,
ENGINEER, ENGINEER's consultants and all other parties named as
insureds. None of the above waivers shall extend to the rights that any
of the insured parties may have to the proceeds of insurance held by
OWNER as trustee or otherwise payable under any policy so issued.
5.11.2 OWNER and CONTRACTOR intend that any policies provided in re-
sponse to paragraphs 5.6 ands 5.7 shall protect all of the parties insured
and provide primary coverage for all losses and damages caused by the
perils covered thereby. Accordingly, all such policies shall contain
provisions to the effect that in the event of payment of any loss or
damage the insurer will have no rights of recovery against any of the
parties named as insureds or additional insureds, and if the insurers
require separate waiver forms to be signed by ENGINEER or ENGI-
NEER's consultant, OWNER will obtain the same, and if such waiver
forms are required of any Subcontractor, CONTRACTOR will obtain the
same.
Receipt and Application of Proceeds:
5.12 Any insured loss under the policies of insurance required by para-
graphs 5.6 and 5.7 will be adjusted with OWNER and made payable to OWNER as
trustee for the insureds, as their interests may appear, subject to the requirements
of any applicable mortgage clause and of paragraph 5.13. OWNER shall deposit in a
separate account any money so received, and shall distribute it in accordance with
such agreement as the parties in interest may reach. If no other special agreement
GC -14
is reached, the damaged Work shall be repaired or replaced, the moneys so received
applied on account thereof and the Work and the cost thereof covered by an
appropriate Change Order or Written Amendment.
5.13 OWNER as trustee shall have power to adjust and settle any loss with the
insurers unless one of the parties in interests shall object in writing within fifteen
days after the occurrence of loss to OWNER'S exercise of this power. If such
objection be made, OWNER as trustee shall make settlement with the insurers in
accordance with such agreement as the parties in interest may reach. If required in
writing by any party in interest, OWNER as trustee shall, upon the occurrence of an
insured loss, give bond for the proper performance of such duties.
Acceptance of Insurance:
5.14 If OWNER has any objection to the coverage afforded by or other
provisions of the insurance required to be purchased and maintained by CON-
TRACTOR in accordance with paragraphs 5.3 and 5.4 on the basis of its not
complying with the Contract Documents, OWNER shall notify CONTRACTOR in
writing thereof within ten days of the date of delivery of such certificates to
OWNER in accordance with paragraph 2.7. If CONTRACTOR has any objection to
the coverage afforded by or other provisions of the policies of insurance required to
be purchased and maintained by OWNER in accordance with paragraphs 5.6 and 5.7
on the basis of their not complying with the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR
shall notify OWNER in writing thereof within ten days of the date of delivery of
such certificates to CONTRACTOR in accordance with paragraph 2.7. OWNER and
CONTRACTOR shall each provide to the other such additional information in
respect of insurance provided by each as the other may reasonably request. Failure
by OWNER or CONTRACTOR to give any such notice of objection within the time
provided shall constitute acceptance of such insurance purchased by the other as
complying with the Contract Documents.
Partial Dtilization— Property Insurance:
5.15 If OWNER finds it necessary to occupy or use a portion or portions of the
Work prior to Substantial Completion of all the Work, such use or occupancy may be
accomplished in accordance with paragraph 14.10; provided that no such use or
occupancy shall commence before the insurers providing the property insurance have
acknowledged notice thereof and in writing effected the changes in coverage
necessitated thereby. The insurers providing the property insurance shall consent by
endorsement on the policy or policies, but the property insurance shall not be
cancelled or lapse on account of any such partial use or occupancy.

accordance with the instructions of the applicable Supplier except as otherwise
GC -16
provided in the Contract Documents; but no provision of any such instructions will
be effective to assign to ENGINEER, or any of ENGINEER's consultants, agents or
employees, any duty or authority to supervise or direct the furnishing or perform-
ance of the Work or any duty or authority to undertake responsibility contrary to the
provisions of paragraph 9.15 or 9.16.
Adjusting Progress Schedule:
6.6 CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for acceptance (to the extent
indicated in paragraph 2.9) adjustments in the progress schedule to reflect the
impact thereon of new developments; these will conform generally to the progress
schedule then in effect and additionally will comply with any provisions of the
General Requirements applicable thereto.
Substitutes or "Or Items:
6.7.1 Whenever materials or equipment are specified or described in the
Contract Documents by using the name of a proprietary item or the
name of a particular Supplier the naming of the item is intended to
establish the type, function and quality required. Unless the name is
followed by words indicating that no substitution is permitted, materials
or equipment of other Suppliers may be accepted by ENGINEER if
sufficient information is submitted by CONTRACTOR to allow ENGI-
NEER to determine that the material or equipment proposed is equi-
valent or equal to that named. The procedure for review by ENGINEER
will include the following as supplemented in the General Requirements.
Requests for review of substitute items of materials and equipment will
not be accepted by ENGINEER from anyone other than CONTRACTOR.
If CONTRACTOR wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material
or equipment, CONTRACTOR shall make written application to ENGI-
NEER for acceptance thereof, certifying that the proposed substitute
will perform adequately the functions and achieve the results called for
by the general design, be similar and of equal substance to that specified
and be suited to the same use as that specified. The application will
state that the evaluation and acceptance of the proposed substitute will
not prejudice CONTRACTOR's achievement of Substantial Completion
on time, whether or not acceptance of the substitute for use in the Work
will require a change in any of the Contract Documents (or in the
provisions of any other direct contract with OWNER for work on the
Project) to adapt the design to the proposed substitute and whether or
not incorporation or use of the substitute in connection with the Work is
subject to payment of any license fee or royalty. All variations of the
proposed substitute from that specified will be identified in the appli-
cation and available maintenance, repair and replacement service will be
indicated. The application will also contain an itemized estimate of all
costs that will result directly or indirectly from acceptance of such
GC -17
substitute, including costs of redesign and claims of other contractors
affected by the resulting change, all of which shall be considered by
ENGINEER in evaluating the proposed substitute. ENGINEER may
require CONTRACTOR to furnish at CONTRACTOR's expense additional
data about the proposed substitute.
6.7.2 If a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of
construction is indicated in or required by the Contract Documents,
CONTRACTOR may furnish or utilize a substitute means, method,
sequence, technique or procedure of construction acceptable to ENGI-
NEER, if CONTRACTOR submits sufficient information to allow
ENGINEER to determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to
that indicated or required by the Contract Documents. The procedure
for review by ENGINEER will be similar to that provided in para-
graph 6.7.1 as applied by ENGINEER and as may be supplemented in the
General Requirements.
6.7.3 ENGINEER will be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate
each proposed substitute. ENGINEER will be the sole judge of accept-
ability, and no substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized without
ENGINEER's prior written acceptance which will be evidenced by either
a Change Order or an approved Shop Drawing. OWNER may require
CONTRACTOR to furnish at CONTRACTOR's expense a special per-
formance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute.
ENGINEER will record time required by ENGINEER and ENGINEER's
consultants in evaluating substitutions proposed by CONTRACTOR and
in making changes in the Contract Documents occasioned thereby.
Whether or not ENGINEER accepts a proposed substitute, CONTRAC-
TOR shall reimburse OWNER for the charges of ENGINEER and
ENGINEER's consultants for evaluating each proposed substitute.
Concerning Subcontractors, Suppliers and Others:
6.8.1 CONTRACTOR shall not employ any Subcontractor, Supplier or other
person or organization (including those acceptable to OWNER and
ENGINEER as indicated in paragraph 6.8.Z), whether initially or as a
substitute, against whom OWNER or ENGINEER may have reasonable
objection. CONTRACTOR shall not be required to employ any Subcon-
tractor, Supplier or other person or organization to furnish or perform
any of the Work against whom CONTRACTOR has reasonable objection.
6.8.2 If the Supplementary Conditions require the identity of certain Subcon-
tractors, Suppliers or other persons or organization (including those who
are to furnish the principal items of materials and equipment) to be
submitted to OWNER in advance of the specified date prior to the
Effective Date of the Agreement for acceptance by OWNER and
GC -18
ENGINEER, and if CONTRACTOR has submitted a list thereof in
accordance with the Supplementary Conditions, OWNER's or ENGI-
NEER's acceptance (either in writing or by failing to make written
objection thereto by the date indicated for acceptance or objection in
the bidding documents or the Contract Documents) of any such Subcon-
tractor, Supplier or other person or organization as identified may be
revoked on the basis of reasonable objection after due investigation, in
which case CONTRACTOR shall submit an acceptable substitute, the
Contract Price will be increased by the difference in the cost occasioned
by such substitution and an appropriate Change Order will be issued or
Written Amendment signed. No acceptance by OWNER or ENGINEER of
any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization shall
constitute a waiver of any right of OWNER or ENGINEER to reject
defective Work.
6.9 CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible to OWNER and ENGINEER for
all acts and omissions of the Subcontractors, Suppliers and other persons and
organizations performing or furnishing any of the Work under a direct or indirect
contract with CONTRACTOR just as CONTRACTOR is responsible for CON -
TRACTOR's own acts and omissions. Nothing in the Contract Documents shall
create any contractual relationship between OWNER or ENGINEER and any such
Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization, nor shall it create any
obligation on the part of OWNER or ENGINEER to pay or to see to the payment of
any moneys due any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization
except as may otherwise be required by Laws and Regulations.
6.10 The divisions and sections of the Specifications and the identifications of
any Drawings shall not control CONTRACTOR in dividing the Work among Subcon-
tractors or Suppliers or delineating the Work to be performed by any specific trade.
6.11 All Work performed for CONTRACTOR by a Subcontractor will be
pursuant to an appropriate agreement between CONTRACTOR and the Subcon-
tractor which specifically binds the Subcontractor to the applicable terms and
conditions of the Contract Documents for the benefit of OWNER and ENGINEER
and contains waiver provisions as required by paragraph 5.11. CONTRACTOR shall
pay each Subcontractor a just share of any insurance moneys received by CON-
TRACTOR on account of losses under policies issued pursuant to paragraphs 5.6 and
5.7.
Patent Fees and Royalties:
6.12 CONTRACTOR shall pay all license fees and royalties and assume all
costs incident to the use in the performance of the Work or the incorporation in the
Work of any invention, design, process, product or device which is the subject of
patent rights or copyrights held by others. If a particular invention, design, process,
product or device is specified in the Contract Documents for use in the performance
GC -19
of the Work and if to the actual knowledge of OWNER or ENGINEER its use is
subject to patent rights or copyrights calling for the payment of any license fee or
royalty to others, the existence of such rights shall be disclosed by OWNER in the
Contract Documents. CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and hold harmless OWNER
and ENGINEER and anyone directly or indirectly employed by either of them from
and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses (including attorney's fees and
court and arbitration costs) arising out of any infringement of patent rights or
copyrights incident to the use in the performance of the Work or resulting from the
incorporation in the Work of any invention, design, process, product or device not
specified in the Contract Documents, and shall defend all such claims in connection
with any alleged infringement of such rights.
Permits:
6.13 Unless otherwise provided in the Supplementary Conditions, CON-
TRACTOR shall obtain and pay for all construction permits and licenses. OWNER
shall assist CONTRACTOR, when necessary, in obtaining such permits and licenses.
CONTRACTOR shall pay all governmental charges and inspection fees necessary for
the prosecution of the Work, which are applicable at the timeof opening of Bids, or
if there are no Bids on the Effective Date of the Agreement. CONTRACTOR shall
pay all charges of utility owners for connections to the Work, and OWNER shall pay
all charges of such utility owners for capital costs related thereto such as plant
investment fees.
Laws and Regulations:
6.14.1 CONTRACTOR shall give all notices and comply with all Laws and
Regulations applicable to furnishing and performance of the Work.
Except where otherwise expressly required by applicable Laws and
Regulations, neither OWNER nor ENGINEER shall be responsible for
monitoring CONTRACTOR's compliance with any Laws or Regulations.
6.14.2 If CONTRACTOR observes that the Specifications or Drawings are at
variance with any Laws or Regulations, CONTRACTOR shall give
ENGINEER prompt written notice therof, and any necessary changes will
be authorized by one of the methods indicated in paragraph 3.4. If
CONTRACTOR performs any Work knowing or having reason to know
that it is contrary to such Laws or Regulations, and without such notice
to ENGINEER, CONTRACTOR shall bear all costs arising therefrom;
however, it shall not be CONTRACTOR's primary responsibility to make
certain that the Specifications and Drawings are in accordance with such
Laws and Regulations.
GC -20
Taxes:
6.15 CONTRACTOR shall pay all sales, consumer, use and other similar taxes
required to be paid by CONTRACTOR in accordance with the Laws and Regulations
of the place of the Project which are applicable during the performance of the
Work.
Use of Premises:
6.16 CONTRACTOR shall confine construction equipment, the storage of
materials and equipment and the operations of workers to the Project site and land
and areas identified in and permitted by the Contract Documents and other land and
areas permitted by Laws and Regulations, rights -of -way, permits and easements,
and shall not unreasonably encumber the premises with construction equipment or
other materials or equipment. CONTRACTOR shall assume full responsibility for
any damage to any such land or area, or to the owner or occupant thereof or of any
land or areas contiguous thereto, resulting from the performance of the Work.
Should any claim be made against OWNER or ENGINEER by any such owner or
occupant because of the performance of the Work, CONTRACTOR shall promptly
attempt to settle with such other party by agreement or otherwise resolve the claim
by arbitration or at law. CONTRACTOR shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
Laws and Regulations, indemnify and hold OWNER and ENGINEER harmless from
and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses (including, but not limited to,
fees of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals and court and
arbitration costs) arising directly, indirectly or consequentially out of any action,
legal or equitable, brought by any such other party against OWNER or ENGINEER to
the extent based on a claim arising out of CONTRACTOR's performance of the
Work.
6.17 During the progress of the Work, CONTRACTOR shall keep the premises
free from accumulations of waste materials, rubbish and other debris resulting from
the Work. At the completion of the Work, CONTRACTOR shall remove all waste
materials, rubbish and debris from and about the permises as well as all tools,
appliances, construction equipment and machinery, and surplus materials, and shall
leave the site clean and ready for occupancy by OWNER. CONTRACTOR shall
restore to original condition all property not designated for alteration by the
Contract Documents.
6.18 CONTRACTOR shall not load nor permit any part of any structure to be
loaded in any manner that will endanger the structure, nor shall CONTRACTOR
subject any part of the Work or adjacent property to stresses or pressures that will
endanger it.
GC -21
Record Documents:
6.19 CONTRACTOR shall maintain in a safe place at the site one record copy
of all Drawings, Specifications, Addenda, Written Amendments, Change Orders,
Work Directive Changes, Field Orders and written interpretations and clarifications
(issued pursuant to paragraph 9.4) in good order and annotated to show all changes
made during construction. These record documents together with all approved
samples and a counterpart of all approved Shop Drawings will be available to
ENGINEER for reference. Upon completion of the Work, these record documents,
samples and Shop Drawings will be delivered to ENGINEER for OWNER.
Safety and Protection:
6.20 CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for initiating, maintaining and
supervising all safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work.
CONTRACTOR shall take all necessary precautions for the safety of, and shall
provide the necessary protection to prevent damage, injury or loss to:
6.20.1 all employees on the Work and other persons and organizations who may
be affected thereby;
6.20.2 all the Work and materials and equipment to be incorporated therein,
whether in storage on or off the site; and
6.20.3 other property at the site or adjacent thereto, including trees, shrubs,
lawns, walks, pavements, roadways, structures, utilities and Underground
Facilities not designated for removal, relocation or replacement in the
course of construction.
CONTRACTOR shall comply with all applicable Laws and Regulations of
any public body having jurisdiction for the safety of persons or property or to
protect them from damage, injury or loss; and shall erect and maintain all necessary
safeguards for such safety and protection. CONTRACTOR shall notify owners of
adjacent property and of Underground Facilities and utility owners when prosecution
of the Work may affect them, and shall cooperate with them in the protection,
removal, relocation and replacement of their property. All damage, injury or loss to
any property referred to in paragraph 6.20.2 or 6.20.3 caused, directly or indirectly,
in whole or in part, by CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, Supplier or any other
person or organization directly or indirectly employed by any of them to perform or
furnish any of the Work or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, shall be
remedied by CONTRACTOR (except damage or loss attributable to the fault of
Drawings or Specifications or to the acts or omissions of OWNER or ENGINEER or
anyone employed by either of them or anyone for whose acts either of them may be
liable, and not attributable, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, to the fault or
negligence of CONTRACTOR). CONTRACTOR's duties and responsibilities for the
safety and protection of the Work shall continue until such time as all the Work is
GC -22
completed and ENGINEER has issued a notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR in
accordance with paragraph 14.13 that the Work is acceptable (except as otherwise
expressly provided in connection with Substantial Completion).
6.21 CONTRACTOR shall designate a responsible representative at the site
whose duty shall be the prevention of accidents. This person shall be CONTRAC-
TOR's superintendent unless otherwise designated in writing by CONTRACTOR to
OWNER.
Emergencies:
6.22 In emergencies affecting the safety or protection of persons or the Work
or property at the site or adjacent thereto, CONTRACTOR, without special
instruction or authorization from ENGINEER or OWNER, is obligated to act to
prevent threatened damage, injury or loss. CONTRACTOR shall give ENGINEER
prompt written notice if CONTRACTOR believes that any significant changes in the
Work or variations from the Contract Documents have been caused thereby. If
ENGINEER determines that a change in the Contract Documents is required because
of the action taken in response to an emergency, a Work Directive Change or
Change Order will be issued to document the consequences of the changes or
variations.
Shop Drawings and Samples:
6.23 After checking and verifying all field measurements and after complying
with applicable procedures specified in the General Requirements, CONTRACTOR
shall submit to ENGINEER for review and approval in accordance with the accepted
schedule of Shop Drawing submissions (see paragraph 2.9), or for other appropriate
action if so indicated in the Supplementary Conditions, five copies (unless otherwise
specified in the General Requirements) of all Shop Drawings, which will bear a
stamp or specific written indication that CONTRACTOR has satisfied CONTRAC-
TOR's responsibilities under the Contract Documents with respect to the review of
the submission. All submissions will be identified as ENGINEER may require. The
data shown on the Shop Drawings will be complete with respect to quantities,
dimensions, specified performance and design criteria, materials and similar data to
enable ENGINEER to review the information as required.
6.24 CONTRACTOR shall also submit to ENGINEER for review and approval
with such promptness as to cause no delay in Work, all samples required by the
Contract Documents. All samples will have been checked by and accompanied by a
specific written indication that CONTRACTOR has satisfied CONTRACTOR's
responsibilities under the Contract Documents with respect to the review of the
submission and will be identified clearly as to material, Supplier, pertinent data such
as catalog numbers and the use for which intended.
GC -23
6.25.1 Before submission of each Shop Drawing or sample CONTRACTOR shall
have determined and verified all quantities, dimensions, specified per-
formance criteria, installation requirements, materials, catalog numbers
and similar data with respect thereto and reviewed or coordinated each
Shop Drawing or sample with other Shop Drawings and samples and with
the requirements of the Work and the Contract Documents.
6.25.2 At the time of each submission, CONTRACTOR shall give ENGINEER
specific written notice of each variation that the Shop Drawings or
samples may have from the requirements of the Contract Documents,
and, in addition, shall cause a specific notation to be made on each Shop
Drawing submitted to ENGINEER for review and approval of each such
variation.
6.26 ENGINEER will review and approve with reasonable promptness Shop
Drawings and samples, but ENGINEER's review and approval will be only for
conformance with the design concept of the Project and for compliance with the
information given in the Contract Documents and shall not extend to means,
methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction (except where a
specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is
indicated in or required by the Contract Documents) or to safety precautions or
programs incident thereto. The review and approval of a separate item as such will
not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions. CONTRACTOR
shall make corrections required by ENGINEER, and shall return the required number
of corrected copies of Shop Drawings and submit as required new samples for review
and approval. CONTRACTOR shall direct specific attention in writing to revisions
other than the corrections called for by ENGINEER on previous submittals.
6.27 ENGINEER's review and approval of Shop Drawings or samples shall not
relieve CONTRACTOR from responsibility for any variation from the requirements
of the Contract Documents unless CONTRACTOR has in writing called ENGINEER's
attention to each such variation at the time of submission as required by para-
graph 6.25.2 and ENGINEER has given written approval of each such variation by a
specific written notation thereof incorporated in or accompanying the Shop Drawing
or sample approval; nor will any approval by ENGINEER relieve CONTRACTOR
from responsibility for errors or omissions in the Shop Drawings or from responsi-
bility for having complied with the provisions of paragraph 6.25.1.
6.28 Where a Shop Drawing or sample is required by the Specifications, any
related Work performed prior to ENGINEER's review and approval of the pertinent
submission will be the sole expense and responsibility of CONTRACTOR.
Continuing the Work:
6.29 CONTRACTOR shall carry on the Work and adhere to the progress
schedule during all disputes or disagreements with OWNER. No Work shall be
GC -24
delayed or postponed pending resolution of any disputes or disagreements, except as
permitted by paragraph 15.5 or as CONTRACTOR and OWNER may otherwise agree
in writing.
Indemnification:
6.30 To the fullest extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, CONTRAC-
TOR shall indemnify and hold harmless OWNER and ENGINEER and their consult-
ants, agents and employees from and against all claims, damages, losses and
expenses, direct, indirect or consequential (including but not limited to fees and
charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals and court and
arbitration costs) arising out of or resulting from the performance of the Work,
provided that any such claim, damage, loss or expense (a) is attributable to bodily
injury, sickness, disease or death, or to injury to or destruction of tangible property
(other than the Work itself) including the loss of use resulting therefrom and (b) is
caused in whole or in part by any negligent act or omission of CONTRACTOR, any
Subcontractor, any person or organization directly or indirectly employed by any of
them to perform or furnish any of the Work or anyone for whose acts any of them
may be liable, regardless of whether or not it is caused in part by a party
indemnified hereunder or arises by or is imposed by Laws and Regulations regardless
of the negligence of such party.
6.31 In any and all claims against OWNER or ENGINEER or any of their
consultants, agents or employees by any employee of CONTRACTOR, any Subcon-
tractor, any person or organization directly or indirectly employed by any of them
to perform or furnish any of the Work or anyone for whose acts any of them may be
liable, the indemnification obligation under paragraph 6.30 shall not be limited in
any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or
benefits payable by or for CONTRACTOR or any such Subcontractor or other person
or organization under workers' or workmen' compensation acts, disability benefit
acts or other employee benefit acts.
6.32 The obligations of CONTRACTOR Under paragraph 6.30 shall not extend
to the liability of ENGINEER, ENGINEER's consultants, agents or employees arising
out of the preparation or approval of maps, drawings, opinions, reports, surveys,
Change Orders, designs of specifications.
Related Work at Site:
ARTICLE 7- -OTHER WORK
7.1 OWNER may perform other work related to the Project at the site by
OWNER's own forces, have other work performed by utility owners or let other
direct contracts therefor which shall contain General Conditions similar to these. If
the fact that such other work is to be performed was not noted in the Contract
GC -25
Documents, written notice thereof will be given to CONTRACTOR prior to starting
any such other work; and, if CONTRACTOR believes that such performance will
involve additional expense to CONTRACTOR or requires additional time and the
parties are unable to agree as to the extent thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a
claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12.
7.2 CONTRACTOR shall afford each utility owner and other contractor who
is a party to such a direct contract (or OWNER, if OWNER is performing the
additional work with OWNER's employees) proper and safe access to the site and a
reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment
and the execution of such work, and shall properly connect and coordinate the Work
with theirs. CONTRACTOR shall do all cutting, fitting and patching of the Work
that may be required to make its several parts come together properly and integrate
with such other work. CONTRACTOR shall not endanger any work of others by
cutting, excavating or otherwise altering their work and will only cut or alter their
work with the written consent of ENGINEER and the others whose work will be
affected. The duties and responsibiliies of CONTRACTOR under this paragraph are
for the benefit of such utility owners and other contractors to the extent that there
are comparable provisions for the benefit of CONTRACTOR in said direct contracts
between OWNER and such utility owners and other consultants.
7.3 If any part of CONTRACTOR's Work depends for proper execution or
results upon the work of any such other contractor or utility owner (or OWNER),
CONTRACTOR shall inspect and promptly report to ENGINEER in writing any
delays, defects or deficiencies in such work that render it unavailable or unsuitable
for such proper execution and results. CONTRACTOR's failure so to report will
constitute an acceptance of the other work as fit and proper for integration with
CONTRACTOR's Work except for latent or non - apparent defects and deficiencies in
the other work.
Coordination:
7.4 If OWNER contracts with others for the performance of other work on
the Project at the site, the person or organization who will have authority and
responsibility for coordination of the activities among the various prime contractors
will be identified in the Supplementary Conditions, and the specific matters to be
covered by such authority and responsibility will be itemized, and the extent of such
authority and responsibilities will be provided, in the Supplementary Conditions.
Unless otherwise provided in the Supplementary Conditions, neither OWNER nor
ENGINEER shall have any authority or responsibility in respect of such coordination.

Visits to Site:
ARTICLE 9 — ENGINEER'S STATUS DURING CONSTRUCTION
Owner's Representative:
9.1 ENGINEER will be OWNER'S representative during the construction
period. The duties and responsibilities and the limitations of authority of ENGINEER
as OWNER'S representative during construction are set forth in the Contract
Documents and shall not be extended without written consent of OWNER and
ENGINEER.
9.2 ENGINEER will make visits to the site at intervals appropriate to the
various stages of construction to observe the progress and quality of the executed
Work and to determine, in general, if the Work is proceeding in accordance with the
Contract Documents. ENGINEER will not be required to make exhaustive or

continuous on -site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work.
ENGINEER's efforts will be directed toward providing for OWNER a greater degree
of confidence that the completed Work will conform to the Contract Documents.
On the basis of such visits and on -site observations as an experienced and qualified
design professional, ENGINEER will keep OWNER informed of the progress of the
Work and will endeavor to guard OWNER against defects and deficiencies in the
Work.
Project Representation:
9.3 If OWNER and ENGINEER agree, ENGINEER will furnish a Resident
Project Representative to assist ENGINEER in observing the performance of the
Work. The duties, responsibilities and limitations of authority of any such Resident
Project Representative and assistants will be provided in the Supplementary
Conditions. If OWNER designates another agent to represent OWNER at the site
who is not ENGINEER's agent or employee, the duties, responsibilities and limita-
tions of authority of such other person will be as provided in the Supplementary
Conditions.
Clarifications and Interpretations:
9.4 ENGINEER will issue with reasonable promptness such written clarifi-
cations or interpretations of the requirements of the Contract Documents (in the
form of Drawings or otherwise( as ENGINEER may determine necessary, which shall
be consistent with or reasonably inferable from the overall intent of the Contract
Documents. If CONTRACTOR believes that a written clarification or interpreta-
tion justifies an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time
and the parties are unable to agree to the amount or extent thereof, CONTRACTOR
may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11 or Article 12.
Authorized Variations in Work:
9.5 ENGINEER may authorize minor variations in the Work from the
requirements of the Contract Documents which do not involve an adjustment in the
Contract Price or the Contract Time and are consistent with the overall intent of
the Contract Documents. These may be accomplished by a Field Order and will be
binding on OWNER, and also on CONTRACTOR who shall perform the Work involved
promptly. If CONTRACTOR believes that a Field Order justifies an increase in the
Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time and the parties are unable to
agree as to the amount or extent thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim
therefor as provided in Article 11 or 12.
Rejecting Defective Work:
9.6 ENGINEER will have authority to disapprove or reject Work which
ENGINEER believes to be defective, and will also have authority to require special

Work is fabricated, installed or completed.
Shop Drawings, Change Orders and Payments:
9.7 In connection with ENGINEER's responsibility for Shop Drawings and
samples, see paragraphs 6.23 through 6.29, inclusive.
9.8 In connection with ENGINEER's responsibilities as to Change Orders, see
Articles 10, 11 and 12.
9.9 In connection with ENGINEER's responsibilities in respect of .Applica-
tions for Payment, etc., see Article 14.
Determinations for Unit Prices:
9.10 ENGINEER will determine the actual quantities and classifications of
Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR. ENGINEER will review with
CONTRACTOR ENGINEER's preliminary determinations on such matters before
rendering a written decision thereon (by recommendation of an Application for
Payment or otherwise). ENGINEER's written decisions thereon will be final and
binding upon OWNER and CONTRACTOR, unless, within ten days after the date of
any such decision, either OWNER or CONTRACTOR delivers to the other party to
the Agreement and to ENGINEER written notice of intention to appeal from such a
decision.
Decisions on Disputes:
9.11 ENGINEER will be the initial interpreter of the requirements of the
Contract Documents and judge of the acceptability of the Work thereunder. Claims,
disputes and other matters relating to the acceptability of the Work or the
interpretation of the requirements of the Contract Documents pertaining to the
performance and furnishing of the Work and claims under Articles 11 and 12 in
respect of changes in the Contract Price or Contract Time will be referred initially
to ENGINEER in writing with a request for a formal decision in accordance with this
paragraph, which ENGINEER will render in writing within a reasonable time.
Written notice of each such claim, dispute and other matter will be delivered by the
claimant to ENGINEER and the other party to the Agreement promptly (but in no
event later than thirty days) after the occurrence of the event giving rise thereto,
and written supporting data will be submitted to ENGINEER and the other party
within sixty days after such occurrence unless ENGINEER allows an additional
period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim.
9.12 When functioning as interpreter and judge under paragraphs 9.10 and
9.11, ENGINEER will not show partiality to OWNER or CONTRACTOR and will not
be liable in connection with any interpretation or decision rendered in good faith in

such capacity. The rendering of a decision by ENGINEER pursuant to para-
graphs 9.10 and 9.11 with respect to any such claim, dispute or other matter (except
any which have been waived by the making or acceptance of final payment as
provided in paragraph 14.16) will be a condition precedent to any exercise by
OWNER or CONTRACTOR of such rights or remedies as either may otherwise have
under the Contract Documents or by Laws or Regulations in respect of any such
claim, dispute or other matter.
Limitations on ENGINEER's Responsibilities:
9.13 Neither ENGINEER's authority to act under this Article 9 or elsewhere
in the Contract Documents nor any decision made by ENGINEER in good faith either
to exercise or not exercise such authority shall give rise to any duty or responsibility
of ENGINEER to CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, or any other
person or organization performing any of the Work, or to any surety for any of them.
9.14 Whenever in the Contract Documents the terms "as ordered ", "as
directed ", "as required ", "as allowed ", "as approved" or terms of like effect or
import are used, or the adjectives "reasonable ", "suitable ", "acceptable ", "proper" or
"satisfactory" or adjectives of like effect or import are used to describe a
requirement, direction, review or judgment of ENGINEER as to the Work, it is
intended that such requirement, direction, review or judgment will be solely to
evaluate the Work for compliance with the Contract Documents (unless there is a
specific statement indicating otherwise). The use of any such term or adjective
shall not be effective to assign to ENGINEER any duty or authority to supervise or
direct the furnishing or performance of the Work or any duty or authority to
undertake responsibility contrary to the provisions of paragraph 9.15 or 9.16.
9.15 ENGINEER will not be responsible for CONTRACTOR's means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures of construction, or the safety precautions and
programs incident thereto, and ENGINEER will not be responsible for CONTRAC-
TOR's failure to perform or furnish the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
9.16 ENGINEER will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of CON-
TRACTOR or of any Subcontractor, any Supplier, or of any other person or
organization performing or furnishing any of the Work.
ARTICLE 10-- CHANGES IN THE WORK
10.1 Without invalidating the Agreement and without notice to any surety,
OWNER may, at any time or from time to time, order additions, deletions or
revisions in the Work; these will be authorized by a Written Amendment, a Change
Order, or a Work Directive Change. Upon receipt of any such document,
CONTRACTOR shall promptly proceed with the Work involved which will be
GC -30
performed under the applicable conditions of the Contract Documents (except as
otherwise specifically provided).
10.2 If OWNER and CONTRACTOR are unable to agree as to the extent, if
any, of an increase or decrease in the Contract Price or an extension or shortening
of the Contract Time that should be allowed as a result of a Work Directive Change,
a claim may be made therefor as provided in Article 11 or Article 12.
10.3 CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to an increase in the Contract Price
or an extension of the Contract Time with respect to any Work performed that is
not required by the Contract Documents as amended, modified and supplemented as
provided in paragraphs 3.4 and 3.5, except in the case of an emergency as provided
in paragraph 6.22 and except in the case of uncovering Work as provided in
paragraph 13.9.
10.4 OWNER and CONTRACTOR shall execute appropriate Change Orders (or
Written Amendments) covering:
10.4.1 changes in the Work which are ordered by OWNER pursuant to para-
graph 10.1 are required because of acceptance of defective Work under
paragraph 13.13 or correcting defective Work under paragraph 13.14, or
are agreed to by the parties;
10.4.2 changes in the Contract Price or Contract Time which are agreed to by
the parties; and
10.4.3 changes in the Contract Price or Contract Time which embody the
substance of any written decision rendered by ENGINEER pursuant to
paragraph 9.11;
provided that, in lieu of executing any such Change Order, an appeal may be taken
from any such decision in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents
and applicable Laws and Regulations, but during any such appeal, CONTRACTOR
shall carry on the Work and adhere to the progress schedule as provided in
paragraph 6.29.
10.5 If notice of any change affecting the general scope of the Work or the
provisions of the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, Contract Price
or Contract Time) is required by the provisions of any Bond to be given to a surety,
the giving of any such notice will be CONTRACTOR's responsibility, and the amount
of each applicable Bond will be adjusted accordingly.

11.1 The Contract Price constitutes the total compensation (subject to
authorized adjustments) payable to CONTRACTOR for performing the Work. All
duties, responsibilities and obligations assigned to or undertaken by CONTRACTOR
shall be at his expense without change in the Contract Price.
11.2 The Contract Price may only be changed by a Change Order or by a
Written Amendment. Any claim for an increase or decrease in the Contract Price
shall be based on written notice delivered by the party making the claim to the
other party and to ENGINEER promptly (but in no event later than thirty days) after
the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature
of the claim. Notice of the amount of the claim with supporting data shall be
delivered within sixty days after such occurrence (unless ENGINEER allows an
additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim)
and shall be accompanied by claimant's written statement that the amount claimed
covers all known amounts (direct, indirect and consequential) to which the claimant
is entitled as a result of the occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in
the Contract Price shall be determined by ENGINEER in accordance with para-
graph 9.11 if OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot otherwise agree on the amount
involved. No claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price will be valid if not
submitted in accordance with this paragraph 11.2.
11.3 The value of any Work covered by a Change Order or of any claim for an
increase or decrease in the Contract Price shall be determined in one of the
following ways:
11.3.1 Where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the
Contract Documents, by application of unit prices to the quantities of
the items involved (subject to the provisions of paragraphs 11.9.1 through
11.9.3, inclusive).
11.3.2 By mutual acceptance of a lump sum (which may include an allowance
for overhead and profit not necessarily in accordance with para-
graph 11.6.2.1).
11.3.3 On the basis of the Cost of the Work (determined as provided in
paragraphs 11.4 and 11.5) plus a CONTRACTOR's Fee for overhead and
profit (determined as provided in paragraphs 11.6 and 11.7).
Cost of the Work:
ARTICLE 11 -- CHANGE OF CONTRACT PRICE
11.4 The term Cost of the Work means the sum of all costs necessarily

no higher than those prevailing in the locality of the Project, shall include only the
following items and shall not include any of the costs itemized in paragraph 11.5.
11.4.1 Payroll costs for employees in the direct employ of CONTRACTOR in
the performance of the Work under schedules of job classifications
agreed upon by OWNER and CONTRACTOR. Payroll costs for employ-
ees not employed full time on the Work shall be apportioned on the basis
of their time spend on the Work. Payroll costs shall include, but not be
limited to, salaries and wages plus the cost of fringe benefits which shall
include social security contributions, unemployment, excise and payroll
taxes, workers' or workmen's compensation, health and retirement bene-
fits, bonuses, sick leave, vacation and holiday pay applicable thereto.
Such employees shall include superintendents and foremen at the site.
The expenses of performing Work after regular working hours, on
Saturday, Sunday or legal holidays, shall be included in the above to the
extent authorized by OWNER.
11.42 Cost of all materials and equipment furnished and incorporated in the
Work, including costs of transportation and storage thereof, and Sup-
pliers' field services required in connection therewith. All cash discounts
shall accrue to CONTRACTOR unless OWNER deposits funds with
CONTRACTOR with which to make payments, in which case the cash
discounts shall accrue to OWNER. All trade discounts, rebates and
refunds and all returns from sale of surplus materials and equipment
shall accrue to OWNER, and CONTRACTOR shall make provisions so
that they may be obtained.
11.4.3 Payments made by CONTRACTOR to the Subcontractors for Work
performed by Subcontractors. If required by OWNER, CONTRACTOR
shall obtain competitive bids from Subcontractors acceptable to CON-
TRACTOR and shall deliver such bids to OWNER who will then deter-
mine, with the advice of Engineer, which bids will be accepted. If a
subcontract provides that the Subcontractor is to be paid on the basis of
Cost of the Work Plus a Fee, the Subcontractor's Cost of the Work shall
be determined in the same manner as CONTRACTOR's Cost of the Work.
All subcontracts shall be subject to the other provisions of the Contract
Documents insofar as applicable.
11.4.4 Costs of special consultants (including but not limited to engineers,
architects, testing laboratories, surveyors, attorneys and accountants)
employed for services specifically related to the Work.

the property of CONTRACTOR.
11.4.5.3 Rentals of all construction equipment and machinery and the parts
thereof whether rented from CONTRACTOR or others in accord-
ance with rental agreements approved by OWNER with the advice
of ENGINEER, and the costs of transportation, loading, unloading,
installation, dismantling and removal thereof - -all in accordance
with terms of said rental agreements. The rental of any such
equipment, machinery or parts shall cease when the use thereof is
no longer necessary for the Work.
11.4.5.4 Sales, consumer, use or similar taxes related to the Work, and for
which CONTRACTOR is liable, imposed by Laws and Regulations.
11.4.5.5 Deposits lost for causes other than negligence of CONTRACTOR,
any Subcontractor or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any
of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable, and royalty
payments and fees for permits and licenses.
11.4.5.6 Losses and damages (and related expenses), not compensated by
insurance or otherwise, to the Work or otherwise sustained by
CONTRACTOR in connection with the performance and furnishing
of the Work (except losses and damages within the deductible
amounts of property insurance established by OWNER in accord-
ance with paragraph 5.9), provided they have resulted from causes
other than the negligence of CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, or
anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose
acts any of them may be liable. Such losses shall include
settlements made with the written consent and approval of
OWNER. No such losses, damages and expenses shall be included in
the Cost of the Work for the purpose of determining CONTRAC-
TOR's Fee. If, however, any such loss or damage requires
reconstruction and CONTRACTOR is placed in charge thereof,
CONTRACTOR shall be paid for services a fee proportionate to
that stated in paragraph 11.6.2.

site or in CONTRACTOR's principal or a branch office for general
administration of the Work and not specifically included in the agreed

CONTRACTOR's Fee:
11.6 The CONTRACTOR's Fee allowed to CONTRACTOR for overhead and
profit shall be determined as follows:
11.6.1 a mutually acceptable fixed fee; or if none can be agreed upon,
11.6.2 a fee based on the following percentages of the various portions of the
Cost of the Work:
11.62.1 for costs incurred under paragraphs 11.4.1 and 11.42, the CON -
TRACTOR's Fee shall be fifteen percent;
11.622 for costs incurred under paragraph 11.4.3, the CONTRACTOR's
Fee shall be five percent; and if a subcontract is on the basis of
Cost of the Work Plus a Fee, the maximum allowable to CON-
TRACTOR on account of overhead and profit of all Subcontractors
shall be fifteen percent;
11.6.2.3 no fee shall be payable on the basis of costs itemized under
paragraphs 11.4.4, 11.4.5 and 11.5;
11.6.2.4 the amount of credit to be allowed by CONTRACTOR to OWNER
for any such change which results in a net decrease in cost will be
the amount of the actual net decrease plus a deduction in CON -
TRACTOR's Fee by an amount equal to ten percent of the net
decrease; and
11.6.2.5 when both additions and credits are involved in any one change, the
adjustment in CONTRACTOR's Fee shall be computed on the basis
of the net change in accordance with paragraphs 11.6.2.1 through
11.6.2.4, inclusive.
11.7 Whenever the cost of any Work is to be determined pursuant to
paragraph 11.4 or 11.5, CONTRACTOR will submit in form acceptable to ENGI-
NEER an itemized cost breakdown together with supporting data.
Cash Allowances:
11.8 It is understood that CONTRACTOR has included in the Contract Price
all allowances so named in the Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so
covered to be done by such Subcontractors or Suppliers and for such sums within the
limit of the allowances as may be acceptable to ENGINEER. CONTRACTOR agrees
that:

'
11.8.1 The allowances include the cost to CONTRACTOR (less any applicable
trade discounts) or materials and equipment required by the allowances
to be delivered at the site, and all applicable taxes; and
11.8.2 CONTRACTOR's costs for unloading and handling on the site, labor,
installation costs, overhead, profit and other expenses contemplated for
the allowances have been included in the Contract Price and not in the
allowances. No demand for additional payment on account of any thereof
will be valid.
Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued as
recommended by ENGINEER to reflect actual amounts due CONTRACTOR on
account of Work covered by allowances, and the Contract Price shall be corre-
spondingly adjusted.
Unit Price Work:
11.9.1 Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to
be Unit Price Work, initially the Contract Price will be deemed to
include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to the sum of the
established unit prices for each separately identified item of Unit Price
Work times the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the
Agreement. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are
not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of Bids and
determining an initial Contract Price. Determinations of the actual
quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed by CON-
TRACTOR will be made by ENGINEER in accordance with para-
graph 9.10.
11.9.2 Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by
CONTRACTOR to be adequate to cover CONTRACTOR's overhead and
profit for each separately identified item.
11.9.3 Where the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by
CONTRACTOR differs materially and significantly from the estimated
quantity of such item indicated in the Agreement and there is no
corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work and if
CONTRACTOR believes that CONTRACTOR has incurred additional
expense as a result thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim for an
increase in the contract Price in accordance with Article 11 if the
parties are unable to agree as to the amount of any such increase.
GC -37
ARTICLE 12 -- CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME
12.1 The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order or a Written
Amendment. Any claim for an extension or shortening of the Contract Time shall
be based on written notice delivered by the party making the claim to the other
party and to ENGINEER promptly (but in no event later than thirty days) after the
occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of
the claim. Notice of the extent of the claim with supporting data shall be delivered
within sixty days after such occurrence (unless ENGINEER allows an additional
period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim) and shall be
accompanied by the claimant's written statement that the adjustment claimed is the
entire adjustment to which the claimant has reason to believe it is entitled as a
result of the occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in the Contract
Time shall be determined by ENGINEER in accordance with paragraph 9.11 if
OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot otherwise agree. No claim for an adjustment in
the Contract Time will be valid if not submitted in accordance with the require-
ments of this paragraph 12.1.
12.2 The Contract Time will be extended in an amount equal to time lost due
to delays beyond the control of CONTRACTOR if a claim is made therefor as
provided in paragraph 12.1. Such delays shall include, but not be limited to, acts or
neglect by OWNER or others performing additional work as contemplated by
Article 7, or to fires, floods, labor disputes, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions
or acts of God.
12.3 All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of
the Agreement. The provisions of this Article 12 shall not exclude recovery for
damages (including but not limited to fees and charges of engineers, architects,
attorneys and other professionals and court and arbitration costs) for delay by either
party.
ARTICLE 13-- WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE; TESTS AND INSPECTIONS;
CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR ACCEPTANCE OF
DEFECTIVE WORK
Warranty and Guarantee:
13.1 CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees to OWNER and ENGINEER that
all Work will be in accordance with the Contract Documents and will not be
defective. Prompt notice of all defects shall be given to CONTRACTOR. All
defective Work, whether or not in place, may be rejected or accepted as provided in
this Article 13.
GC -38
Access to Work:
13.2 ENGINEER and ENGINEER's representatives, other representatives of
OWNER, testing agencies and governmental agencies with jurisdictional interests
will have access to the Work at reasonable times for their observation, inspecting
and testing. CONTRACTOR shall provide proper and safe conditions for such
access.
Tests and Inspections:
13.3 CONTRACTOR shall give ENGINEER timely notice of readiness of the
Work for all required inspections, tests or approvals.
13.4 If Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction require any
Work (or part thereof) to specifically be inspected, tested or approved, CONTRAC-
TOR shall assume full responsibility therefor, pay all costs in connection therewith
and furnish ENGINEER the required certificates of inspection, testing or approval.
CONTRACTOR shall also be responsible for and shall pay all costs in connection
with any inspection or testing required in connection with OWNER's or ENGINEER's
acceptance of a Supplier of materials or equipment proposed to be incorporated in
the Work, or of materials or equipment submitted for approval prior to CON -
TRACTOR's purchase thereof for the incorporation in the Work. The cost of all
inspections, tests and approvals in addition to the above which are required by the
Contract Documents shall be paid by OWNER (unless otherwise specified).
13.5 All inspections, tests or approvals other than those required by Laws or
Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction shall be performed by organiza-
tions acceptable to OWNER and CONTRACTOR (or by ENGINEER if so specified).
13.6 If any Work (including the work of others) that is to be inspected, tested
or approved is covered without written concurrence of ENGINEER, it must, if
requested by ENGINEER, be uncovered for observation. Such uncovering shall be at
CONTRACTOR's expense unless CONTRACTOR has given ENGINEER timely notice
of CONTRACTOR's intention to cover the same and ENGINEER has not acted with
reasonable promptness in response to such notice.
13.7 Neither observations by ENGINEER nor inspections, tests or approvals by
others shall relieve CONTRACTOR from CONTRACTOR's obligations to perform
the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
Uncovering Work:
13.8 If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of ENGINEER, it
must, if requested by ENGINEER, be uncovered for ENGINEER's observation and
replaced at CONTRACTOR's expense.

13.9 If ENGINEER considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be
observed by ENGINEER or inspected or tested by others, CONTRACTOR, at
ENGINEER's request, shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for obser-
vation, inspection or testing as ENGINEER may require, that portion of the Work in
question, furnishing all necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is found that
such Work is defective, CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect and conse-
quential costs of such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection and testing and
of satisfactory reconstruction (including but not limited to fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals), and OWNER shall be
entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are
unable to agree as to the amount thereof, may make a claim therefor as provided in
Article 11. If, however, such Work is not found to be defective, CONTRACTOR
shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract
Time, or both, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation,
inspection, testing and reconstruction; and, if the parties are unable to agree as to
the amount or extent thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefor as
provided in Articles 11 and 12.
Owner May Stop the Work:
13.10 If the Work is defective, or CONTRACTOR fails to supply sufficient
skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment, or fails to furnish or perform the
Work in such a way that the completed Work will conform to the Contract
Documents, OWNER may order CONTRACTOR to stop the Work, or any portion
thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, this right of
OWNER to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of OWNER to
exercise this right for the benefit of CONTRACTOR or any other party.
Correction or Removal of Defective Work:
13.11 If required by ENGINEER, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, as directed,
either correct all defective Work, whether or not fabricated, installed or completed,
or, if the Work has been rejected by ENGINEER, remove it from the site and replace
it with nondefective Work. CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect and
consequential costs of such correction or removal (including but not limited to fees
and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals) made
necessary thereby.
One Year Correction Period:
13.12 If within one year after the date of Substantial Completion or such
longer period of time as may be prescribed by Laws or Regulations or by the terms
of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract Documents or by any
specific provision of the Contract Documents, any Work is found to be defective,
CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost to OWNER and in accordance with
OWNER's written instructions, either correct such defective Work, or, if it has been
GC-40
rejected by OWNER, remove it from the site and replace it with nondefective Work.
If CONTRACTOR does not promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, or
in an emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, OWNER
may have the defective Work corrected or the rejected Work removed and replaced,
and all direct, indirect and consequential costs of such removal and replacement
(including but not limited to fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and
other professions) will be paid by CONTRACTOR. In special circumstances where a
particular item of equipment is placed in continuous service before Substantial
Completion of all the Work, the correction period for that item may start to run
from an earlier date if so provided in the Specifications or by Written Amendment.
Acceptance of Defective Work:
13.13 If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of
defective Work, OWNER (and, prior to ENGINEER's recommendation of final
payment, also ENGINEER) prefers to accept it, OWNER may do so. CONTRACTOR
shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs attributable to OWNER's
evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work (such costs to be
approved by ENGINEER as to reasonableness and to include but not be limited to
fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals). If any
such acceptance occurs prior to ENGINEER's recommendation of final payment, a
Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract
Documents with respect to the Work; and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate
decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the
amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. If
the acceptance occurs after such recommendation, an appropriate amount will be
paid by CONTRACTOR to OWNER.
OWNER May Correct Defective Work:
13.14 If CONTRACTOR fails within a reasonable time after written notice of
ENGINEER to proceed to correct and to correct defective Work or to remove and
replace rejected Work as required by ENGINEER in accordance with para-
graph 13.11, or if CONTRACTOR fails to perform the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents, or if CONTRACTOR fails to comply with any other provision
of the Contract Documents, OWNER may, after seven days' written notice to
CONTRACTOR, correct and remedy any such deficiency. In exercising the rights
and remedies under this paragraph, OWNER shall proceed expeditiously. To the
extent necessary to complete corrective and remedial action, OWNER may exclude
CONTRACTOR from all or part of the site, take possession of all or part of the
Work, and suspend CONTRACTOR's services related thereto, take possession of
CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the
site and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or
for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere.
CONTRACTOR shall allow OWNER, OWNER'S representatives, agents and employ-
ees such access to the site as may be necessary to enable OWNER to exercise the
GC-41
rights and remedies under this paragraph. All direct, indirect and consequential
costs of OWNER in exercising such rights and remedies will be charged against
CONTRACTOR in an amount approved as to reasonableness by ENGINEER, and a
Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract
Documents with respect to the Work; and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate
decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the
amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. Such
direct, indirect and consequential costs will include but not be limited to fees and
charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals, all court and
arbitration costs and all costs of repair and replacement of work of others destroyed
or damaged by correction, removal or replacement of CONTRACTOR's defective
Work. CONTRACTOR shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Time
because of any delay in performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by
OWNER of OWNER's rights and remedies hereunder.
Schedule of Values:
ARTICLE 14 -- PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR
AND COMPLETION
14.1 The schedule of values established as provided in paragraph 2.9 will serve
as the basis for progress payments and will be incorporated into a form of
Application for Payment acceptable to ENGINEER. Progress payments on account
of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed.
Application for Progress Payment:
14.2 At least twenty days before each progress payment is scheduled (but not
more often than once a month), CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for
review an Application for Payment filled and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the
Work completed as of the date of the Application and accompanied by such
supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. If payment is
requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but
delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to in writing,
the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or
other documentation warranting that OWNER has received the materials and
equipment free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests and encumbrances
(which are hereinafter in these General Conditions referred to as "Liens ") and
evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property
insurance and other arrangements to protect OWNER's interest therein, all of which
will be satisfactory to OWNER. The amount of retainage with respect to progress
payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement.
GC-4Z
CONTRACTOR's Warranty of Title:
14.3 CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials
and equipment covered by any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the
Project or not, will pass to OWNER no later than the time of payment free and clear
of all Liens.
Review of Applications for Progress Payment:
14.4 ENGINEER will, within ten days after receipt of each Application for
Payment, either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the
Application to OWNER, or return the Application to CONTRACTOR indicating in
writing ENGINEER's reasons for refusing to recommend payment. In the latter
case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the
Application. Ten days after presentation of the Application for Payment with
ENGINEER's recommendation, the amount recommended will (subject to the pro-
visions of the last sentence of paragraph 14.7) become due and when due will be paid
by OWNER to CONTRACTOR.
14.5 ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment requested in an Applica-
tion for Payment will constitute a representation by ENGINEER to OWNER, based
on ENGINEER's on -site observations of the Work in progress as an experienced and
qualified design professional and on ENGINEER's review of the Application for
Payment and the accompanying data and schedules that the Work has progressed to
the point indicated; that, to the best of ENGINEER's knowledge, information and
belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents
(subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon
Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the
Contract Documents, to a final determination of quantities and classifications for
Unit Price Work under paragraph 9.10, and to any other qualifications stated in the
recommendation); and that CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment of the amount
recommended. However, by recommending any such payment, ENGINEER will not
thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaustive or continuous on -site
inspections have been made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond
the responsibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract Documents
or that there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might
entitle CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or OWNER to withhold
payment to CONTRACTOR.
14.6 ENGINEER's recommendation of final payment will constitute an addi-
tional representation by ENGINEER to OWNER that the conditions precedent to
CONTRACTOR'S being entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13
have been fulfilled.
14.7 ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any
payment if, in ENGINEER's opinion, it would be incorrect to make such
GC-43
representations to OWNER. ENGINEER may also refuse to recommend any such
payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence of the results of subse-
quent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to
such extent as may be necessary in ENGINEER's opinion to protect OWNER from
loss because:
14.7.1 the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring
correction or replacement,
14.7.2 the Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change
Order,
14.7.3 OWNER has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work
in accordance with paragraph 13.14, or
14.7.4 of ENGINEER's actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events
enumerated in paragraphs 152.1 through 152.9 inclusive.
OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by
ENGINEER because claims have been made against OWNER on account of CON -
TRACTOR's performance or furnishing of the Work or Liens have been filed in
connection with the Work or there are other items entitling OWNER to a set -off
against the amount recommended, but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate
written notice (with a copy to ENGINEER) stating the reasons for such action.
Substantial Completion:
14.8 When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended
use, CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER and ENGINEER in writing that the entire
Work is substantially complete (except for items specifically listed by CONTRAC-
TOR as incomplete) and request that ENGINEER issue a certificate of Substantial
Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and
ENGINEER shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of
completion. If ENGINEER does not consider the Work substantially complete,
ENGINEER will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If
ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will prepare and
deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix
the date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a
tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment. OWNER
shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to make
written objection to ENGINEER as to any provisions of the certificate or attached
list. If, after considering such objections, ENGINEER concludes that the Work is not
substantially complete, ENGINEER will within fourteen days after submission of the
tentative certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing, stating the
reasons therefor. If, after consideration of OWNER's objections, ENGINEER
considers the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will within said fourteen days
GC-44
execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of
Substantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be completed or
corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as ENGINEER
believes justified after consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time
of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion, ENGINEER will
deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division of
responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with
respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance and
warranties. Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so
inform ENGINEER prior to ENGINEER's issuing the definitive certificate of
Substantial Completion, ENGINEER'S aforesaid recommendation will be binding on
OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment.
14.9 OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Work
after the date of Substantial Completion, but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR
reasonable access to complete or correct items on the tentative list.
Partial Utilization:
14.10 Use by OWNER of any finished part of the Work, which has specifically
been identified in the Contract Documents, or which OWNER, ENGINEER and
CONTRACTOR agree constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the
Work that can be used by OWNER without significant interference with CON -
TRACTOR's performance of the remainder of the Work, may be accomplished prior
to Substantial Completion of all the Work subject to the following:
14.10.1 OWNER at any time may request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit
OWNER to use any such part of the Work which OWNER believes to be
ready for its intended use and substantially complete. If CONTRACTOR
agrees, CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER and ENGINEER that said
part of the Work is substantially complete and request ENGINEER to
issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.
CONTRACTOR at any time may notify OWNER and ENGINEER in
writing that CONTRACTOR considers any such part of the Work ready
for its intended use and substantially complete and request ENGINEER
to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the
Work. Within a reasonable time after either such request, OWNER,
CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of that part of
the Work to determine its status of completion. If ENGINEER does not
consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, ENGINEER
will notify OWNER and CONTRACTOR in writing, giving the reasons
therefor. If ENGINEER considers that part of the Work to be substan-
tially complete, the provisions of paragraphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply
with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that part of
the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access
thereto.
GC-45
14.10.2 OWNER may at any time request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit
OWNER to take over operation of any such part of the Work although it
is not substantially complete. A copy of such request will be sent to
ENGINEER and within a reasonable time thereafter OWNER, CON-
TRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of that part of the
Work to determine its status of completion and will prepare a list of the
items remaining to be completed or corrected thereon before final
payment. If CONTRACTOR does not object in writing to OWNER and
ENGINEER that such part of the Work is not ready for separate
operation by OWNER, ENGINEER will finalize the list of items to be
completed or corrected and will deliver such list to OWNER and
CONTRACTOR together with a written recommendation as to the
division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance,
utilities, insurance, warranties and guarantees for that part of the Work
which will become binding upon OWNER and CONTRACTOR at the time
when OWNER takes over such operation (unless they shall have otherwise
agreed in writing and so informed ENGINEER). During such operation
and prior to Substantial Completion of such part of the Work, OWNER
shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct
items on said list and to complete other related Work.
14.10.3 No occupancy or separate operation of part of the Work will be
accomplished prior to compliance with the requirements of para-
graph 5.15 in respect of property insurance.
Final Inspection:
14.11 Upon written notice from CONTRACTOR that the entire Work or an
agreed portion thereof is complete, ENGINEER will make a final inspection with
OWNER and CONTRACTOR and will notify CONTRACTOR in writing of all
particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective.
CONTRACTOR shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to remedy
such deficiencies.
Final Application for Payment:
14.12 After CONTRACTOR has completed all such corrections to the satis-
faction of ENGINEER and delivered all maintenance and operating instructions,
schedules, guarantees, Bonds, certificates of inspection, marked -up record docu-
ments (as provided in paragraph 6.19) and other documents - -all as required by the
Contract Documents, and after ENGINEER has indicated that the Work is accept-
able (subject to the provisions of paragraph 14.16), CONTRACTOR may make
application for final payment following the procedure for progress payments. The
final Application for Payment shall be accompanied by all documentation called for
in the Contract Documents, together with complete and legally effective releases or
GC-46
waivers (satisfactory to OWNER) of all Liens arising out of or filed in connection
with the Work. In lieu thereof and as approved by OWNER, CONTRACTOR may
furnish receipts or releases in full; an affidavit of CONTRACTOR that the releases
and receipts include all labor, services, materials and equipment for which a Lien
could be filed, and that all payrolls, material and equipment bills, and other
indebtedness connected with the Work for which OWNER or OWNER's property
might in any way be responsible, have been paid or otherwise satisfied; and consent
of the surety, if any, to final payment. If any Subcontractor or Supplier fails to
furnish a release or receipt in full, CONTRACTOR may furnish a Bond or other
collateral satisfactory to OWNER to indemnify OWNER against any Lien.
Final Payment and Acceptance:
14.13 If, on the basis of ENGINEER's observation of the Work during construc-
tion and final inspection, and ENGINEER's review of the final Application for
Payment and accompanying documentation - -all as required by the Contract Docu-
ments, ENGINEER is satisfied that the Work has been completed and CONTRAC-
TOR's other obligations under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled, ENGI-
NEER will, within ten days after receipt of the final Application for Payment,
indicate in writing ENGINEER's recommendation of payment and present the
Application to OWNER for payment. Thereupon, ENGINEER will give written
notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR that the Work is acceptable subject to the
provisions of paragraph 14.16. Otherwise, ENGINEER will return the Application to
CONTRACTOR, indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final
payment, in which case CONTRACTOR shall make the necessary corrections and
resubmit the Application. Thirty days after presentation to OWNER of the
Application and accompanying documentation, in appropriate form and substance,
and with ENGINEER's recommendation and notice of acceptability, the amount
recommended by ENGINEER will become due and will be paid by OWNER to
CONTRACTOR.
14.14 If, through no fault of CONTRACTOR, final completion of the Work is
significantly delayed and if ENGINEER so confirms, OWNER shall, upon receipt of
CONTRACTOR's final Application for Payment and recommendation of ENGINEER,
and without terminating the Agreement, make payment of the balance due for that
portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to be
held by OWNER for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than the retaining
stipulated in the Agreement, and if Bonds have been furnished as required in
paragraph 5.1, the written consent of the surety to the payment of the balance due
for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by
CONTRACTOR to ENGINEER with the Application for such payment. Such
payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final payment,
except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims.
GC-47
Contractor's Continuing Obligation:
14.15 CONTRACTOR's obligation to perform and complete the work in ac-
cordance with the Contract Documents shall be absolute. Neither recommendation
of any progress or final payment by ENGINEER, nor the issuance of a certificate of
Substantial Completion, nor any payment by OWNER to CONTRACTOR under the
Contract Documents, nor any use or occupancy of the Work or any part thereof by
OWNER, nor any act of acceptance by OWNER nor any failure to do so, nor any
review and approval of a Shop Drawing or sample submission, nor the issuance of a
notice of acceptability by ENGINEER pursuant to paragraph 14.13, nor any correc-
tion of defective Work by OWNER will constitute an acceptance of Work not in
accordance with the Contract Documents or a release of CONTRACTOR's obliga-
tion to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents (except as
provided in paragraph 14.16).
Waiver of Claim:
14.16 The making and acceptance of final payment will constitute:
14.16.1 a waiver of all claims by OWNER against CONTRACTOR, except claims
arising from unsettled Liens, from defective Work appearing after final
inspection pursuant to paragraph 14.11 or from failure to comply with
the Contract Documents or the terms of any special guarantees specified
therein; however, it will not constitute a waiver by OWNER of any rights
in respect of CONTRACTOR's continuing obligations under the Contract
Documents; and
14.16.2 a waiver of all claims by CONTRACTOR against OWNER other than
those previously made in writing and still unsettled.
Owner May Suspend Work:
ARTICLE 15-- SUSPENSION OF WORK
AND TERMINATION
15.1 OWNER may, at any time and without cause, suspend the Work or any
portion thereof for a period of not more than ninety days by notice in writing to
CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER which will fix the date on which Work will be
resumed. CONTRACTOR shall resume the Work on the date so fixed. CONTRAC-
TOR shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the
Contract Time, or both, directly attributable to any suspension if CONTRACTOR
makes an approved claim therefore as provided in Articles 11 and 12.
GC-48
Owner May Terminate:
15.2 Upon the occurrence of any one of more of the following events:
15.2.1 if CONTRACTOR commences a voluntary case under any chapter of the
Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), as now or hereafter in
effect, or if CONTRACTOR takes any equivalent or similar action by
filing a petition or otherwise under any other federal or state law in
effect at such time relating to the bankruptcy or insolvency;
15.2.2 if a petition is filed against CONTRACTOR under any chapter of the
Bankruptcy Code as now or hereafter in effect at the time of filing, or if
a petition is filed seeking any such equivalent or similar relief against
CONTRACTOR under any other federal or state law in effect at the
time relating to bankruptcy or insolvency;
15.2.3 if CONTRACTOR makes a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors;
15.2.4 if a trustee, receiver, custodian or agent of CONTRACTOR is appointed
under applicable law or under contract, whose appointment or authority
to take charge of property of CONTRACTOR is for the purpose of
enforcing a Lien against such property or for the purpose of general
administration of such property for the benefit of CONTRACTOR's
creditors;
15.2.5 if CONTRACTOR admits in writing an inability to pay its debts as they
become due;
15.2.6 if CONTRACTOR persistently fails to perform the Work in accordance
with the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to
supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment or
failure to adhere to the progress schedule established under para-
graph 2.9 as revised from time to time);
15.2.7 if CONTRACTOR disregards Laws or Regulations of any public body
having jurisdiction;
15.2.8 if CONTRACTOR disregards the authority of ENGINEER; or
15.2.9 if CONTRACTOR otherwise violates in any substantial way any provi-
sions of the Contract Documents;
OWNER may, after giving CONTRACTOR (and the surety, if there be one) seven
days' written notice and to the extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, terminate
the services of CONTRACTOR, exclude CONTRACTOR from the site and take
GC-49 •
possession of the Work and all of CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances, construction
equipment and machinery at the site and use the same to the full extent they could
be used by CONTRACTOR (without liability to CONTRACTOR for trespass or
conversion), incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site
or for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere, and
finish the Work as OWNER may deem expedient. In such case, CONTRACTOR shall
not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If the
unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds the direct, indirect and consequential
costs of completing the Work (including but not limited to fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals and court and arbitration
costs) such excess will be paid to CONTRACTOR. If such costs exceed such unpaid
balance, CONTRACTOR shall pay the difference to OWNER. Such costs incurred by
OWNER will be approved as to reasonableness by ENGINEER and incorporated in a
Change Order, but when exercising any rights or remedies under this paragraph,
OWNER shall not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed.
15.3 Where CONTRACTOR's services have been so terminated by OWNER,
the termination will not affect any rights or remedies of OWNER against CON-
TRACTOR then existing of which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment
of monies due CONTRACTOR by OWNER will not release CONTRACTOR from
liability.
15.4 Upon seven days' written notice to CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER,
OWNER may, without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy,
elect to abandon the Work and terminate the Agreement. In such case, CON-
TRACTOR shall be paid for all Work executed and any expense sustained plus
reasonable termination expenses, which will include, but not be limited to, direct,
indirect and consequential costs (including, but not limited to, fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals and court and arbitration
costs).
Contractor May Stop Work or Terminate:
15.5 If, through no act or fault of CONTRACTOR, the Work is suspended for
a period of more than ninety days by OWNER or under an order of court or other
public authority, or ENGINEER fails to act on any Application for Payment within
thirty days after it is submitted, or OWNER fails for thirty days to pay CON-
TRACTOR any sum finally determined to be due, the CONTRACTOR may, upon
seven days' written notice to OWNER and ENGINEER, terminate the Agreement and
recover from OWNER payment for all Work executed and any expense sustained plus
reasonable termination expenses. In addition and in lieu of terminating the
Agreement, if ENGINEER has failed to act on an Application for Payment or
OWNER has failed to make any payment as aforesaid, CONTRACTOR may upon
seven days' written notice to OWNER and ENGINEER stop the Work until payment
of all amounts then due. The provisions of this paragraph shall not relieve
CONTRACTOR of the obligations under paragraph 6.29 to carry on the Work in
GC -50
accordance with the progress schedule and without delay during disputes and
disagreements with OWNER.
ARTICLE 16-- ARBITRATION
16.1 All claims, disputes and other matters in question between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR arising out of, or relating to the Contract Documents or the breach
thereof (except for claims which have been waived by the making or acceptance of
final payment as provided by paragraph 14.16) will be decided by artibration in
accordance with the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association then obtaining subject to the limitations of this Article 16.
This agreement so to arbitrate and any other agreement or consent to arbitrate
entered into in accordance herewith as provided in this Article 16 will be specific-
ally enforceable under the prevailing law of any court having jurisdiction.
16.2 No demand for arbitration of any claim, dispute or other matter that is
required to be referred to ENGINEER initially for decision in accordance with
paragraph 9.11 will be made until the earlier of (a) the date on which ENGINEER has
rendered a decision or (b) the tenth day after the parties have presented their
evidence to ENGINEER if a written decision has not been rendered by ENGINEER
before that date. No demand for arbitration of any such claim, dispute or other
matter will be made later than thirty days after the date on which ENGINEER has
rendered a written decision in respect thereof in accordance with paragraph 9.11;
and the failure to demand arbitration within said thirty days' period shall result in
ENGINEER's decision being final and binding upon OWNER and CONTRACTOR. If
ENGINEER renders a decision after arbitration proceedings have been initiated,
such decision may be entered as evidence but will not supersede the arbitration
proceedings, except where the decision is acceptable to the parties concerned. No
demand for arbitration of any written decision of ENGINEER rendered in accord-
ance with paragraph 9.10 will be made later than ten days after the party making
such demand has delivered written notice of intention to appeal as provided in
paragraph 9.10.
16.3 Notice of the demand for arbitration will be filed in writing with the
other party to the Agreement and with the American Arbitration Association, and a
copy will be sent to ENGINEER for information. The demand for arbitration will be
made within the thirty -day or ten -day period specified in paragraph 16.2, as
applicable, and in all such cases within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or
other matter in question has arisen, and in no event shall any such demand be made
after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such
claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute
of limitations.
16.4 No arbitration arising out of or relating to the Contract Documents shall
include by consolidation, joinder or in any other manner any person or entity
GC -51
(including ENGINEER, ENGINEER's agents, employees or consultants) who is not a
party to this contract unless:
16.4.1 the inclusion of such other person or entity is necessary if complete
relief is to be afforded among those who are already parties to the
arbitration,
16.4.2 such other person or entity is substantially involved in a question of law
or fact which is common to those who are already parties to the
arbitration and which will arise in such proceedings, and
16.4.3 the written consent of the other person or entity sought to be included
and of OWNER and CONTRACTOR has been obtained for such inclusion,
which consent shall make specific reference to this paragraph; but no
such consent shall constitute consent to arbitration of any dispute not
specifically described in such consent or to arbitration with any party
not specifically identified in such consent.
16.5 The award rendered by the arbitrators will be final, judgment may be
entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and will not be subject to
modification or appeal except to the extent permitted by Sections 10 and 11 of the
Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 510, 11).

within thirty days after the Effective Date of the Agreement. In no event will the
Contract Time commence to run later than the one hundred twentieth day after the
GC-4
day of Bid opening or the thirtieth day after the Effective Date of the Agreement,
whichever date is earlier.
Starting the Project:
2.4 CONTRACTOR shall start to perform the Work on the date when the
Contract Time commences to run, but no Work shall be done at the site prior to the
date on which the Contract Time commences to run.
Before Starting Construction:
2.5 Before undertaking each part of the Work, CONTRACTOR shall care-
fully study and compare the Contract Documents and check and verify pertinent
figures shown thereon and all applicable field measurements. CONTRACTOR shall
promptly report in writing to ENGINEER any conflict, error or discrepancy which
CONTRACTOR may discover and shall obtain a written interpretation or clarifica-
tion from ENGINEER before proceeding with any Work affected thereby; however,
CONTRACTOR shall not be liable to OWNER or ENGINEER for failure to report

establish a working understanding among the parties as to the Work.
Finalizing Schedules:
2.9 At least ten days before submission of the first Application for Payment
a conference attended by CONTRACTOR, ENGINEER and others as appropriate will
be held to finalize the schedules submitted in accordance with paragraph 2.6. The
finalized progress schedule will be acceptable to ENGINER as providing an orderly
progression of the Work to completion within the Contract Time, but such
acceptance will neither impose on ENGINEER responsibility for the progress or
scheduling of the Work nor relieve CONTRACTOR from full responsibility therefor.
The finalized schedule of Shop Drawing submissions will be acceptable to ENGI-
NEER as providing a workable arrangement for processing the submissions. The
finalized schedule of values will be acceptable to ENGINEER as to form and
substance.
Intent:
ARTICLE 3— CONTRACT DOCUMENTS:
INTENT, AMENDING, REUSE
3.1 The Contract Documents comprise the entire agreement between
OWNER and CONTRACTOR concerning the Work. The Contract Documents are
complementary; what is called for by one is as binding as if called for by all. The
Contract Documents will be construed in accordance with the law of the place of
the Project.
3.2 It is the intent of the Contract Documents to describe a functionally
complete Project (or part thereof) to be constructed in accordance with the
Contract Documents. Any Work, materials or equipment that may reasonably be
inferred from the Contract Documents as being required to produce the intended
result will be supplied whether or not specifically called for. When words which
have a well -known technical or trade meaning are used to describe Work, materials
or equipment, such words shall be interpreted in accordance with that meaning.
Reference to standard specifications, manuals or codes of any technical society,
organization or association, or to the Laws or Regulations of any governmental
authority, whether such reference be specific or by implication, shall mean the
latest standard specification, manual, code or Laws or Regulations in effect at the
GC -6
time of opening of Bids (or, on the Effective Dateof the Agreement if there were no
Bids), except as may be otherwise specifically stated. However, no provision of any
referenced standard specification, manual or code (whether or not specifically
incorporated by reference in the Contract Documents) shall be effective to change
the duties and responsibilities of OWNER, CONTRACTOR or ENGINEER, or any of
their consultants, agents or employees from those set forth in the Contract
Documents, nor shall it be effective to assign to ENGINEER, or any of ENGINEER's
consultants, agents or employees, any duty or authority to supervise or direct the
furnishing or performance of the Work or any duty or authority to undertake
responsibility contrary to the provisions of paragraph 9.15 or 9.16. Clarifications
and interpretations of the Contract Documents shall be issued by ENGINEER as
provided in paragraph 9.4.
3.3 If, during the performance of the Work, CONTRACTOR finds a conflict,
error or discrepancy in the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR shall so report to
ENGINEER in writing at once and before proceeding with the Work affected thereby
shall obtain a written interpretation or clarification from ENGINEER; however,
CONTRACTOR shall not be liable to OWNER or ENGINEER for failure to report
any conflict, error or discrepancy in the Contract Documents unless CONTRACTOR
had actual knowledge thereof or should reasonably have known thereof.
Amending and Supplementing Contract Documents:
3.4 The Contract Documents may be amended to provide for additions,
deletions and revisions in the Work or to modify the terms and conditions thereof in
one or more of the following ways:
3.4.1 a formal Written Amendment,
3.4.2 a Change Order (pursuant to paragraph 10.4), or
3.4.3 a Work Directive Change (pursuant to paragraph 10.1).
As indicated in paragraphs 11.2 and 12.1, Contract Price and Contract
Time may only be changed by a Change Order or a Written Amendment.
3.5 In addition, the requirements of the Contract Documents may be
supplemented, and minor variations and deviations in the Work may be authorized, in
one or more of the following ways:
3.5.1 a Field Order (pursuant to paragraph 9.5),
3.5.2 ENGINEER's approval of a Shop Drawing or sample (pursuant to para-
graphs 6.26 and 6.27), or
GC -7
3.5.3 ENGINEER's written interpretation or clarification (pursuant to para-
graph 9.4).
Reuse of Documents:
3.6 Neither CONTRACTOR nor any Subcontractor or Supplier or other
person or organization performing or furnishing any of the Work under a direct or
indirect contract with OWNER shall have or acquire any title to or ownership rights
in any of the Drawings, Specifications or other documents (or copies of any thereof)
prepared by or bearing the seal of ENGINEER; and they shall not reuse any of them
on extensions of the Project or any other project withoug written consent of
OWNER and ENGINEER and specific written verification or adaptation by
ENGINEER.

CONDITIONS; REFERENCE POINTS
4.1 OWNER shall furnish, as indicated in the Contract Documents, the lands
upon which the Work is to be performed, rights-of-way and easements for access
thereto, and such other lands which are designated for the use of CONTRACTOR.
Easements for permanent structures or permanent changes in existing facilities will
be obtained and paid for by OWNER, unless otherwise provided in the Contract
Documents. If CONTRACTOR believes that any delay in OWNER's furnishing these
lands, rights-of-way or easements entitles CONTRACTOR to an extension of the
Contract Time, CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefore as provided in
Article 12. CONTRACTOR shall provide for all additional lands and access thereto
that may be required for temporary construction facilities or storage of materials
and equipment.
Physical Conditions:
• 4.2.1 Explorations and Reports. Reference is made to the Supplementary
Conditions for identification of those reports of explorations and tests of
subsurface conditions at the site that have been utilized by ENGINEER
in preparation of the Contract Documents. CONTRACTOR may rely
upon the accuracy of the technical data contained in such reports, but
not upon nontechnical data, interpretations or opinions contained therein
or for the completeness thereof for CONTRACTOR's purposes. Except
as indicated in the immediately preceding sentence and in para-
graph 4.2.6, CONTRACTOR shall have full responsibility with respect to
subsurface conditions at the site.

4.2.2
Existing Structures. Reference is made to the Supplementary Conditions
for identification of those drawings of physical conditions in or relating
to existing surface and subsurface structures (except Underground Facil-
ities referred to in paragraph 4.3) which are at or contiguous to the site
that have been utilized by ENGINEER in preparation of the Contract
Documents. CONTRACTOR may rely upon the accuracy of the tech-
nical data contained in such drawings, but not for the completeness
thereof for CONTRACTOR's purposes. Except as indicated in the
immediately preceding sentence and in paragraph 4.Z.6, CONTRACTOR
shall have full responsibility with respect to physical conditions in or
relating to such structures.
4.2.3 Report of Differing Conditions. If CONTRACTOR believes that:
4.2.3.1 any technical data on which CONTRACTOR is entitled to rely as
provided in paragraphs 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 is inaccurate, or
4.2.3.2 any physical condition uncovered or revealed at the site differs
materially from that indicated, reflected or referred to in the
Contract Documents,
CONTRACTOR shall, promptly after becoming aware thereof and before
performing any Work in connection therewith (except in an emergency as
permitted by paragraph 6.22), notify OWNER and ENGINEER in writing
about the inaccuracy or difference.
4.2.4 ENGINEER's Review. ENGINEER will promptly review the pertinent
conditions, determine the necessity of obtaining additional explorations
or tests with respect thereto and advise OWNER in writing (with a copy
to CONTRACTOR) of ENGINEER's findings and conclusions.
4.2.5 Possible Document Change. If ENGINEER concludes that there is a
material error in the Contract Documents or that because of newly
discovered conditions a change in the Contract Documents is required, a
Work Directive Change or a Change Order will be issued as provided in
Article 10 to reflect and document the consequences of the inaccuracy
or difference.
4.2.6 Possible Price and Time Adjustments. In each such case, an increase or
decrease in the Contract Price or an extension or shortening of the
Contract Time, or any combination thereof, will be allowable to the
extent that they are attributable to any such inaccuracy or difference.
If OWNER and CONTRACTOR are unable to agree as to the amount or
length thereof, a claim may be made therefor as provided in Articles 11
and 12.

Contract Documents and which CONTRACTOR could not reasonably have been
expected to be aware of, CONTRACTOR shall, promptly after becoming aware
thereof and before performing any Work affected thereby (except in an emergency
as permitted by paragraph 6.22), identify the owner of such Underground Facility
and give written notice thereof to that owner and to OWNER and ENGINEER.
ENGINEER will promptly review the Underground Facility to determine the extent
to which the Contract Documents should be modified to reflect and document the
consequences of the existence of the Underground Facility, and the Contract
Documents will be amended or supplemented to the extent necessary. During such
time, CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the safety and protection of such
Underground Facility as provided in paragraph 6.20. CONTRACTOR shall be
allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time, or
both, to the extent that they are attributable to the existence of any Underground
Facility that was not shown or indicated in the 'Contract Documents and which
CONTRACTOR could not reasonably have been expected to be aware of. If the
parties are unable to agree as to the amount or length thereof, CONTRACTOR may
make a claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12.

forms are required of any Subcontractor, CONTRACTOR will obtain the
same.
Receipt and Application of Proceeds:
5.12 Any insured loss under the policies of insurance required by para-
graphs 5.6 and 5.7 will be adjusted with OWNER and made payable to OWNER as
trustee for the insureds, as their interests may appear, subject to the requirements

5.13 OWNER as trustee shall have power to adjust and settle any loss with the
insurers unless one of the parties in interests shall object in writing within fifteen
days after the occurrence of loss to OWNER's exercise of this power. If such
objection be made, OWNER as trustee shall make settlement with the insurers in
accordance with such agreement as the parties in interest may reach. If required in
writing by any party in interest, OWNER as trustee shall, upon the occurrence of an
insured loss, give bond for the proper performance of such duties.
Acceptance of Insurance:
5.14 If OWNER has any objection to the coverage afforded by or other
provisions of the insurance required to be purchased and maintained by CON-
TRACTOR in accordance with paragraphs 5.3 and 5.4 on the basis of its not
complying with the Contract Documents, OWNER shall notify CONTRACTOR in
writing thereof within ten days of the date of delivery of such certificates to
OWNER in accordance with paragraph Z.7. If CONTRACTOR has any objection to
the coverage afforded by or other provisions of the policies of insurance required to
be purchased and maintained by OWNER in accordance with paragraphs 5.6 and 5.7
on the basis of their not complying with the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR
shall notify OWNER in writing thereof within ten days of the date of delivery of
such certificates to CONTRACTOR in accordance with paragraph 2.7. OWNER and
CONTRACTOR shall each provide to the other such additional information in
respect of insurance provided by each as the other may reasonably request. Failure
by OWNER or CONTRACTOR to give any such notice of objection within the time
provided shall constitute acceptance of such insurance purchased by the other as
complying with the Contract Documents.
Partial Utilization Insurance:
5.15 If OWNER finds it necessary to occupy or use a portion or portions of the
Work prior to Substantial Completion of all the Work, such use or occupancy may be
accomplished in accordance with paragraph 14.10; provided that no such use or
occupancy shall commence before the insurers providing the property insurance have
acknowledged notice thereof and in writing effected the changes in coverage
necessitated thereby. The insurers providing the property insurance shall consent by
endorsement on the policy or policies, but the property insurance shall not be
cancelled or lapse on account of any such partial use or occupancy.

ARTICLE 6-- CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
Supervision and Superintendence:
6.1 CONTRACTOR shall supervise and direct the Work competently and
efficiently, devoting such attention thereto and applying such skills and expertise as
may be necessary to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
CONTRACTOR shall be solely responsible for the means, methods, techniques,
sequences and procedures of construction, but CONTRACTOR shall not be respon-
sible for the negligence of others in the design or selection of a specific means,
method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction which is indicated in and
required by the Contract Documents. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible to see
that the finished Work complies accurately with the Contract Documents.
6.Z CONTRACTOR shall keep on the Work at all times during its progress a
competent resident superintendent, who shall not be replaced without written notice
to OWNER and ENGINEER except under extraordinary circumstances. The super-
intendent will be CONTRACTOR's representative at the site and shall have
authority to act on behalf of CONTRACTOR. All communications given to the
superintendent shall be as binding as if given to CONTRACTOR.
Labor, Materials and Equipment:
6.3 CONTRACTOR shall provide competent, suitably qualified personnel to
survey and lay out the Work and perform construction as required by the Contract
Documents. CONTRACTOR shall at all times maintain good discipline and order at
the site. Except in connection with the safety or protection of persons or the Work
or property at the site or adjacent thereto, and except as otherwise indicated in the
Contract Documents, all Work at the site shall be performed during regular working
hours, and CONTRACTOR will not permit overtime work or the performance of
Work on Saturday, Sunday or any legal holiday without OWNER's written consent
given after prior written notice to ENGINEER.
6.4 Unless otherwise specified in the General Requirements, CONTRACTOR
shall furnish and assume full responsibility for all materials, equipment, labor,
transportation, construction equipment and machinery, tools, appliances, fuel,
power, light, heat, telephone, water, sanitary facilities, temporary facilities and all
other facilities and incidentals necessary for the furnishing, performance, testing,
start -up and completion of the Work.
6.5 All materials and equipment shall be of good quality and new, except as
otherwise provided in the Contract Documents. If required by ENGINEER, CON-
TRACTOR shall furnish satisfactory evidence (including reports of required tests) as
to the kind and quality of materials and equipment. All materials and equipment
shall be applied, installed, connected, erected, used, cleaned and conditioned in
accordance with the instructions of the applicable Supplier except as otherwise
GC -16
provided in the Contract Documents; but no provision of any such instructions will
be effective to assign to ENGINEER, or any of ENGINEER's consultants, agents or
employees, any duty or authority to supervise or direct the furnishing or perform-
ance of the Work or any duty or authority to undertake responsibility contrary to the
provisions of paragraph 9.15 or 9.16.
Adjusting Progress Schedule:
6.6 CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for acceptance (to the extent
indicated in paragraph 2.9) adjustments in the progress schedule to reflect the
impact thereon of new developments; these will conform generally to the progress
schedule then in effect and additionally will comply with any provisions of the
General Requirements applicable thereto.
Substitutes or "Or-Equal' Items:
6.7.1 Whenever materials or equipment are specified or described in the
Contract Documents by using the name of a proprietary item or the
name of a particular Supplier the naming of the item is intended to
establish the type, function and quality required. Unless the name is
followed by words indicating that no substitution is permitted, materials
or equipment of other Suppliers may be accepted by ENGINEER if
sufficient information is submitted by CONTRACTOR to allow ENGI-
NEER to determine that the material or equipment proposed is equi-
valent or equal to that named. The procedure for review by ENGINEER
will include the following as supplemented in the General Requirements.
Requests for review of substitute items of materials and equipment will
not be accepted by ENGINEER from anyone other than CONTRACTOR.
If CONTRACTOR wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material
or equipment, CONTRACTOR shall make written application to ENGI-
NEER for acceptance thereof, certifying that the proposed substitute
will perform adequately the functions and achieve the results called for
by the general design, be similar and of equal substance to that specified
and be suited to the same use as that specified. The application will
state that the evaluation and acceptance of the proposed substitute will
not prejudice CONTRACTOR's achievement of Substantial Completion
on time, whether or not acceptance of the substitute for use in the Work
will require a change in any of the Contract Documents (or in the
provisions of any other direct contract with OWNER for work on the
Project) to adapt the design to the proposed substitute and whether or
not incorporation or use of the substitute in connection with the Work is
subject to payment of any license fee or royalty. All variations of the
proposed substitute from that specified will be identified in the appli-
cation and available maintenance, repair and replacement service will be
indicated. The application will also contain an itemized estimate of all
costs that will result directly or indirectly from acceptance of such

substitute, including costs of redesign and claims of other contractors
affected by the resulting change, all of which shall be considered by
ENGINEER in evaluating the proposed substitute. ENGINEER may
require CONTRACTOR to furnish at CONTRACTOR's expense additional
data about the proposed substitute.
6.7.2 If a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of
construction is indicated in or required by the Contract Documents,
CONTRACTOR may furnish or utilize a substitute means, method,
sequence, technique or procedure of construction acceptable to ENGI-
NEER, if CONTRACTOR submits sufficient information to allow
ENGINEER to determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to
that indicated or required by the Contract Documents. The procedure
for review by ENGINEER will be similar to that provided in para-
graph 6.7.1 as applied by ENGINEER and as may be supplemented in the
General Requirements.
6.7.3 ENGINEER will be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate
each proposed substitute. ENGINEER will be the sole judge of accept-
ability, and no substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized without
ENGINEER's prior written acceptance which will be evidenced by either
a Change Order or an approved Shop Drawing. OWNER may require
CONTRACTOR to furnish at CONTRACTOR's expense a special per-
formance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute.
ENGINEER will record time required by ENGINEER and ENGINEER's
consultants in evaluating substitutions proposed by CONTRACTOR and
in making changes in the Contract Documents occasioned thereby.
Whether or not ENGINEER accepts a proposed substitute, CONTRAC-
TOR shall reimburse OWNER for the charges of ENGINEER and
ENGINEER's consultants for evaluating each proposed substitute.
Concerning Subcontractors, Suppliers and Others:
6.8.1 CONTRACTOR shall not employ any Subcontractor, Supplier or other
person or organization (including those acceptable to OWNER and
ENGINEER as indicated in paragraph 6.8.2), whether initially or as a
substitute, against whom OWNER or ENGINEER may have reasonable
objection. CONTRACTOR shall not be required to employ any Subcon-
tractor, Supplier or other person or organization to furnish or perform
any of the Work against whom CONTRACTOR has reasonable objection.
6.8.2 If the Supplementary Conditions require the identity of certain Subcon-
tractors, Suppliers or other persons or organization (including those who
are to furnish the principal items of materials and equipment) to be
submitted to OWNER in advance of the specified date prior to the
Effective Date of the Agreement for acceptance by OWNER and
GC -18
ENGINEER, and if CONTRACTOR has submitted a list thereof in
accordance with the Supplementary Conditions, OWNER's or ENGI-
NEER's acceptance (either in writing or by failing to make written
objection thereto by the date indicated for acceptance or objection in
the bidding documents or the Contract Documents) of any such Subcon-
tractor, Supplier or other person or organization as identified may be
revoked on the basis of reasonable objection after due investigation, in
which case CONTRACTOR shall submit an acceptable substitute, the
Contract Price will be increased by the difference in the cost occasioned
by such substitution and an appropriate Change Order will be issued or
Written Amendment signed. No acceptance by OWNER or ENGINEER of
any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization shall
constitute a waiver of any right of OWNER or ENGINEER to reject
defective Work.
6.9 CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible to OWNER and ENGINEER for
all acts and omissions of the Subcontractors, Suppliers and other persons and
organizations performing or furnishing any of the Work under a direct or indirect
contract with CONTRACTOR just as CONTRACTOR is responsible for CON -
TRACTOR's own acts and omissions. Nothing in the Contract Documents shall
create any contractual relationship between OWNER or ENGINEER and any such
Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization, nor shall it create any
obligation on the part of OWNER or ENGINEER to pay or to see to the payment of
any moneys due any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization
except as may otherwise be required by Laws and Regulations.
6.10 The divisions and sections of the Specifications and the identifications of
any Drawings shall not control CONTRACTOR in dividing the Work among Subcon-
tractors or Suppliers or delineating the Work to be performed by any specific trade.
6.11 All Work performed for CONTRACTOR by a Subcontractor will be
pursuant to an appropriate agreement between CONTRACTOR and the Subcon-
tractor which specifically binds the Subcontractor to the applicable terms and
conditions of the Contract Documents for the benefit of OWNER and ENGINEER
and contains waiver provisions as required by paragraph 5.11. CONTRACTOR shall
pay each Subcontractor a just share of any insurance moneys received by CON-
TRACTOR on account of losses under policies issued pursuant to paragraphs 5.6 and
5.7.
Patent Fees and Royalties:
6.12 CONTRACTOR shall pay all license fees and royalties and assume all
costs incident to the use in the performance of the Work or the incorporation in the
Work of any invention, design, process, product or device which is the subject of
patent rights or copyrights held by others. If a particular invention, design, process,
product or device is specified in the Contract Documents for use in the performance

of the Work and if to the actual knowledge of OWNER or ENGINEER its use is
subject to patent rights or copyrights calling for the payment of any license fee or
royalty to others, the existence of such rights shall be disclosed by OWNER in the
Contract Documents. CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and hold harmless OWNER
and ENGINEER and anyone directly or indirectly employed by either of them from
and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses (including attorney's fees and
court and arbitration costs) arising out of any infringement of patent rights or
copyrights incident to the use in the performance of the Work or resulting from the
incorporation in the Work of any invention, design, process, product or device not
specified in the Contract Documents, and shall defend all such claims in connection
with any alleged infringement of such rights.
Permits:
6.13 Unless otherwise provided in the Supplementary Conditions, CON-
TRACTOR shall obtain and pay for all construction permits and licenses. OWNER
shall assist CONTRACTOR, when necessary, in obtaining such permits and licenses.
CONTRACTOR shall pay all governmental charges and inspection fees necessary for
the prosecution of the Work, which are applicable at the timeof opening of Bids, or
if there are no Bids on the Effective Date of the Agreement. CONTRACTOR shall
pay all charges of utility owners for connections to the Work, and OWNER shall pay
all charges of such utility owners for capital-costs related thereto such as plant
investment fees.
Laws and Regulations:
6.14.1 CONTRACTOR shall give all notices and comply with all Laws and
Regulations applicable to furnishing and performance of the Work.
Except where otherwise expressly required by applicable Laws and
Regulations, neither OWNER nor ENGINEER shall be responsible for
monitoring CONTRACTOR's compliance with any Laws or Regulations.
6.14.2 If CONTRACTOR observes that the Specifications or Drawings are at
variance with any Laws or Regulations, CONTRACTOR shall give
ENGINEER prompt written notice therof, and any necessary changes will
be authorized by one of the methods indicated in paragraph 3.4. If
CONTRACTOR performs any Work knowing or having reason to know
that it is contrary to such Laws or Regulations, and without such notice
to ENGINEER, CONTRACTOR shall bear all costs arising therefrom;
however, it shall not be CONTRACTOR's primary responsibility to make
certain that the Specifications and Drawings are in accordance with such
Laws and Regulations.

Taxes:
6.15 CONTRACTOR shall pay all sales, consumer, use and other similar taxes
required to be paid by CONTRACTOR in accordance with the Laws and Regulations
of the place of the Project which are applicable during the performance of the
Work.
Use of Premises:
6.16 CONTRACTOR shall confine construction equipment, the storage of
materials and equipment and the operations of workers to the Project site and land
and areas identified in and permitted by the Contract Documents and other land and
areas permitted by Laws and Regulations, rights -of -way, permits and easements,
and shall not unreasonably encumber the premises with construction equipment or
other materials or equipment. CONTRACTOR shall assume full responsibility for
any damage to any such land or area, or to the owner or occupant thereof or of any
land or areas contiguous thereto, resulting from the performance of the Work.
Should any claim be made against OWNER or ENGINEER by any such owner or
occupant because of the performance of the Work, CONTRACTOR shall promptly
attempt to settle with such other party by agreement or otherwise resolve the claim
by arbitration or at law. CONTRACTOR shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
Laws and Regulations, indemnify and hold OWNER and ENGINEER harmless from
and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses (including, but not limited to,
fees of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals and court and
arbitration costs) arising directly, indirectly or consequentially out of any action,
legal or equitable, brought by any such other party against OWNER or ENGINEER to
the extent based on a claim arising out of CONTRACTOR's performance of the
Work.
6.17 During the progress of the Work, CONTRACTOR shall keep the premises
free from accumulations of waste materials, rubbish and other debris resulting from
the Work. At the completion of the Work, CONTRACTOR shall remove all waste
materials, rubbish and debris from and about the permises as well as all tools,
appliances, construction equipment and machinery, and surplus materials, and shall
leave the site clean and ready for occupancy by OWNER. CONTRACTOR shall
restore to original condition all property not designated for alteration by the
Contract Documents.
6.18 CONTRACTOR shall not load nor permit any part of any structure to be
loaded in any manner that will endanger the structure, nor shall CONTRACTOR
subject any part of the Work or adjacent property to stresses or pressures that will
endanger it.

6.19 CONTRACTOR shall maintain in a safe place at the site one record copy
of all Drawings, Specifications, Addenda, Written Amendments, Change Orders,
Work Directive Changes, Field Orders and written interpretations and clarifications
(issued pursuant to paragraph 9.4) in good order and annotated to show all changes
made during construction. These record documents together with all approved
samples and a counterpart of all approved Shop Drawings will be available to
ENGINEER for reference. Upon completion of the Work, these record documents,
samples and Shop Drawings will be delivered to ENGINEER for OWNER.
Safety and Protection:
6.20 CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for initiating, maintaining and
supervising all safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work.
CONTRACTOR shall take all necessary precautions for the safety of, and shall
provide the necessary protection to prevent damage, injury or loss to:
6.20.1 all employees on the Work and other persons and organizations who may
be affected thereby;
6.20.2 all the Work and materials and equipment to be incorporated therein,
whether in storage on or off the site; and
6.20.3 other property at the site or adjacent thereto, including trees, shrubs,
lawns, walks, pavements, roadways, structures, utilities and Underground
Facilities not designated for removal, relocation or replacement in the
course of construction.
CONTRACTOR shall comply with all applicable Laws and Regulations of
any public body having jurisdiction for the safety of persons or property or to
protect them from damage, injury or loss; and shall erect and maintain all necessary
safeguards for such safety and protection. CONTRACTOR shall notify owners of
adjacent property and of Underground Facilities and utility owners when prosecution
of the Work may affect them, and shall cooperate with them in the protection,
removal, relocation and replacement of their property. All damage, injury or loss to
any property referred to in paragraph 6.20.2 or 6.20.3 caused, directly or indirectly,
in whole or in part, by CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, Supplier or any other
person or organization directly or indirectly employed by any of them to perform or
furnish any of the Work or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, shall be
remedied by CONTRACTOR (except damage or loss attributable to the fault of
Drawings or Specifications or to the acts or omissions of OWNER or ENGINEER or
anyone employed by either of them or anyone for whose acts either of them may be
liable, and not attributable, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, to the fault or
negligence of CONTRACTOR). CONTRACTOR's duties and responsibilities for the
safety and protection of the Work shall continue until such time as all the Work is

completed and ENGINEER has issued a notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR in
accordance with paragraph 14.13 that the Work is acceptable (except as otherwise
expressly provided in connection with Substantial Completion).
6.21 CONTRACTOR shall designate a responsible representative at the site
whose duty shall be the prevention of accidents. This person shall be CONTRAC-
TOR's superintendent unless otherwise designated in writing by CONTRACTOR to
OWNER.
Emergencies:
6.22 In emergencies affecting the safety or protection of persons or the Work
or property at the site or adjacent thereto, CONTRACTOR, without special
instruction or authorization from ENGINEER or OWNER, is obligated to act to
prevent threatened damage, injury or loss. CONTRACTOR shall give ENGINEER
prompt written notice if CONTRACTOR believes that any significant changes in the
Work or variations from the Contract Documents have been caused thereby. If
ENGINEER determines that a change in the Contract Documents is required because
of the action taken in response to an emergency, a Work Directive Change or
Change Order will be issued to document the consequences of the changes or
variations.
Shop Drawings and Samples:
623 After checking and verifying all field measurements and after complying
with applicable procedures specified in the General Requirements, CONTRACTOR
shall submit to ENGINEER for review and approval in accordance with the accepted
schedule of Shop Drawing submissions (see paragraph 2.9), or for other appropriate
action if so indicated in the Supplementary Conditions, five copies (unless otherwise
specified in the General Requirements) of all Shop Drawings, which will bear a
stamp or specific written indication that CONTRACTOR has satisfied CONTRAC-
TOR's responsibilities under the Contract Documents with respect to the review of
the submission. All submissions will be identified as ENGINEER may require. The
data shown on the Shop Drawings will be complete with respect to quantities,
dimensions, specified performance and design criteria, materials and similar data to
enable ENGINEER to review the information as required.
6.24 CONTRACTOR shall also submit to ENGINEER for review and approval
with such promptness as to cause no delay in Work, all samples required by the
Contract Documents. All samples will have been checked by and accompanied by a
specific written indication that CONTRACTOR has satisfied CONTRACTOR's
responsibilities under the Contract Documents with respect to the review of the
submission and will be identified clearly as to material, Supplier, pertinent data such
as catalog numbers and the use for which intended.

6.25.1 Before submission of each Shop Drawing or sample CONTRACTOR shall
have determined and verified all quantities, dimensions, specified per-
formance criteria, installation requirements, materials, catalog numbers
and similar data with respect thereto and reviewed or coordinated each
Shop Drawing or sample with other Shop Drawings and samples and with
the requirements of the Work and the Contract Documents.
6.25.2 At the time of each submission, CONTRACTOR shall give ENGINEER
specific written notice of each variation that the Shop Drawings or
samples may have from the requirements of the Contract Documents,
and, in addition, shall cause a specific notation to be made on each Shop
Drawing submitted to ENGINEER for review and approval of each such
variation.
6.26 ENGINEER will review and approve with reasonable promptness Shop
Drawings and samples, but ENGINEER's review and approval will be only for
conformance with the design concept of the Project and for compliance with the
information given in the Contract Documents and shall not extend to means,
methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction (except where a
specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is
indicated in or required by the Contract Documents) or to safety precautions or
programs incident thereto. The review and approval of a separate item as such will
not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions. CONTRACTOR
shall make corrections required by ENGINEER, and shall return the required number
of corrected copies of Shop Drawings and submit as required new samples for review
and approval. CONTRACTOR shall direct specific attention in writing to revisions
other than the corrections called for by ENGINEER on previous submittals.
6.27 ENGINEER's review and approval of Shop Drawings or samples shall not
relieve CONTRACTOR from responsibility for any variation from the requirements
of the Contract Documents unless CONTRACTOR has in writing called ENGINEER's
attention to each such variation at the time of submission as required by para-
graph 6.25.2 and ENGINEER has given written approval of each such variation by a
specific written notation thereof incorporated in or accompanying the Shop Drawing
or sample approval; nor will any approval by ENGINEER relieve CONTRACTOR
from responsibility for errors or omissions in the Shop Drawings or from responsi-
bility for having complied with the provisions of paragraph 6.25.1.
6.28 Where a Shop Drawing or sample is required by the Specifications, any
related Work performed prior to ENGINEER's review and approval of the pertinent
submission will be the sole expense and responsibility of CONTRACTOR.
Continuing the Work:

Indemnification:
6.30 To the fullest extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, CONTRAC-
TOR shall indemnify and hold harmless OWNER and ENGINEER and their consult-
ants, agents and employees from and against all claims, damages, losses and
expenses, direct, indirect or consequential (including but not limited to fees and
charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals and court and
arbitration costs) arising out of or resulting from the performance of the Work,
provided that any such claim, damage, loss or expense (a) is attributable to bodily
injury, sickness, disease or death, or to injury to or destruction of tangible property
(other than the Work itself) including the loss of use resulting therefrom and (b) is
caused in whole or in part by any negligent act or omission of CONTRACTOR, any
Subcontractor, any person or organization directly or indirectly employed by any of
them to perform or furnish any of the Work or anyone for whose acts any of them
may be liable, regardless of whether or not it is caused in part by a party
indemnified hereunder or arises by or is imposed by Laws and Regulations regardless
of the negligence of such party.
6.31 In any and all claims against OWNER or ENGINEER or any of their
consultants, agents or employees by any employee of CONTRACTOR, any Subcon-
tractor, any person or organization directly or indirectly employed by any of them
to perform or furnish any of the Work or anyone for whose acts any of them may be
liable, the indemnification obligation under paragraph 6.30 shall not be limited in
any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or
benefits payable by or for CONTRACTOR or any such Subcontractor or other person
or organization under workers' or workmen' compensation acts, disability benefit
acts or other employee benefit acts.
6.32 The obligations of CONTRACTOR Under paragraph 6.30 shall not extend
to the liability of ENGINEER, ENGINEER's consultants, agents or employees arising
out of the preparation or approval of maps, drawings, opinions, reports, surveys,
Change Orders, designs of specifications.
Related Work at Site:
ARTICLE 7- -OTHER WORK
7.1 OWNER may perform other work related to the Project at the site by
OWNER's own forces, have other work performed by utility owners or let other
direct contracts therefor which shall contain General Conditions similar to these. If
the fact that such other work is to be performed was not noted in the Contract

Documents, written notice thereof will be given to CONTRACTOR prior to starting
any such other work; and, if CONTRACTOR believes that such performance will
involve additional expense to CONTRACTOR or requires additional time and the
parties are unable to agree as to the extent thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a
claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12.
7.2 CONTRACTOR shall afford each utility owner and other contractor who
is a party to such a direct contract (or OWNER, if OWNER is performing the
additional work with OWNER's employees) proper and safe access to the site and a
reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of materials and equipment
and the execution of such work, and shall properly connect and coordinate the Work
with theirs. CONTRACTOR shall do all cutting, fitting and patching of the Work
that may be required to make its several parts come together properly and integrate
with such other work. CONTRACTOR shall not endanger any work of others by
cutting, excavating or otherwise altering their work and will only cut or alter their
work with the written consent of ENGINEER and the others whose work will be
affected. The duties and responsibiliies of CONTRACTOR under this paragraph are
for the benefit of such utility owners and other contractors to the extent that there
are comparable provisions for the benefit of CONTRACTOR in said direct contracts
between OWNER and such utility owners and other consultants.
7.3 If any part of CONTRACTOR'S Work depends for proper execution or
results upon the work of any such other contractor or utility owner (or OWNER),
CONTRACTOR shall inspect and promptly report to ENGINEER in writing any
delays, defects or deficiencies in such work that render it unavailable or unsuitable
for such proper execution and results. CONTRACTOR'S failure so to report will
constitute an acceptance of the other work as fit and proper for integration with
CONTRACTOR'S Work except for latent or non - apparent defects and deficiencies in
the other work.
Coordination:
7.4 If OWNER contracts with others for the performance of other work on
the Project at the site, the person or organization who will have authority and
responsibility for coordination of the activities among the various prime contractors
will be identified in the Supplementary Conditions, and the specific matters to be
covered by such authority and responsibility will be itemized, and the extent of such
authority and responsibilities will be provided, in the Supplementary Conditions.
Unless otherwise provided in the Supplementary Conditions, neither OWNER nor
ENGINEER shall have any authority or responsibility in respect of such coordination.

9.1 ENGINEER will be OWNER's representative during the construction
period. The duties and responsibilities and the limitations of authority of ENGINEER
as OWNER's representative during construction are set forth in the Contract
Documents and shall not be extended without written consent of OWNER and
ENGINEER.
Visits to Site:
9.2 ENGINEER will make visits to the site at intervals appropriate to the
various stages of construction to observe the progress and quality of the executed
Work and to determine, in general, if the Work is proceeding in accordance with the
Contract Documents. ENGINEER will not be required to make exhaustive or

continuous on -site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work.
ENGINEER'S efforts will be directed toward providing for OWNER a greater degree
of confidence that the completed Work will conform to the Contract Documents.
On the basis of such visits and on -site observations as an experienced and qualified
design professional, ENGINEER will keep OWNER informed of the progress of the
Work and will endeavor to guard OWNER against defects and deficiencies in the
Work.
Project Representation:
9.3 If OWNER and ENGINEER agree, ENGINEER will furnish a Resident
Project Representative to assist ENGINEER in observing the performance of the
Work. The duties, responsibilities and limitations of authority of any such Resident
Project Representative and assistants will be provided in the Supplementary
Conditions. If OWNER designates another agent to represent OWNER at the site
who is not ENGINEER's agent or employee, the duties, responsibilities and limita-
tions of authority of such other person will be as provided in the Supplementary
Conditions.
Clarifications and Interpretations:
9.4 ENGINEER will issue with reasonable promptness such written clarifi-
cations or interpretations of the requirements of the Contract Documents (in the
form of Drawings or otherwise( as ENGINEER may determine necessary, which shall
be consistent with or reasonably inferable from the overall intent of the Contract
Documents. If CONTRACTOR believes that a written clarification or interpreta-
tion justifies an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time
and the parties are unable to agree to the amount or extent thereof, CONTRACTOR
may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11 or Article 12.
Authorized Variations in Work:
9.5 ENGINEER may authorize minor variations in the Work from the
requirements of the Contract Documents which do not involve an adjustment in the
Contract Price or the Contract Time and are consistent with the overall intent of
the Contract Documents. These may be accomplished by a Field Order and will be
binding on OWNER, and also on CONTRACTOR who shall perform the Work involved
promptly. If CONTRACTOR believes that a Field Order justifies an increase in the
Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time and the parties are unable to
agree as to the amount or extent thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim
therefor as provided in Article 11 or 12.
Rejecting Defective Work:
9.6 ENGINEER will have authority to disapprove or reject Work which
ENGINEER believes to be defective, and will also have authority to require special

inspection or testing of the Work as provided in paragraph 13.9, whether or not the
Work is fabricated, installed or completed.
Shop Drawings, Change Orders and Payments:
9.7 In connection with ENGINEER's responsibility for Shop Drawings and
samples, see paragraphs 6.23 through 6.29, inclusive.
9.8 In connection with ENGINEER's responsibilities as to Change Orders, see
Articles 10, 11 and 12.
9.9 In connection with ENGINEER'S responsibilities in respect of Applica-
tions for Payment, etc., see Article 14.
Determinations for Unit Prices:
9.10 ENGINEER will determine the actual quantities and classifications of
Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR. ENGINEER will review with
CONTRACTOR ENGINEER's preliminary determinations on such matters before
rendering a written decision thereon (by recommendation of an Application for
Payment or otherwise). ENGINEER's written decisions thereon will be final and
binding upon OWNER and CONTRACTOR, unless, within ten days after the date of
any such decision, either OWNER or CONTRACTOR delivers to the other party to
the Agreement and to ENGINEER written notice of intention to appeal from such a
decision.
Decisions on Disputes:
9.11 ENGINEER will be the initial interpreter of the requirements of the
Contract Documents and judge of the acceptability of the Work thereunder. Claims,
disputes and other matters relating to the acceptability of the Work or the
interpretation of the requirements of the Contract Documents pertaining to the
performance and furnishing of the Work and claims under Articles 11 and 12 in
respect of changes in the Contract Price or Contract Time will be referred initially
to ENGINEER in writing with a request for a formal decision in accordance with this
paragraph, which ENGINEER will render in writing within a reasonable time.
Written notice of each such claim, dispute and other matter will be delivered by the
claimant to ENGINEER and the other party to the Agreement promptly (but in no
event later than thirty days) after the occurrence of the event giving rise thereto,
and written supporting data will be submitted to ENGINEER and the other party
within sixty days after such occurrence unless ENGINEER allows an additional
period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim.
9.12 When functioning as interpreter and judge under paragraphs 9.10 and
9.11, ENGINEER will not show partiality to OWNER or CONTRACTOR and will not
be liable in connection with any interpretation or decision rendered in good faith in

such capacity. The rendering of a decision by ENGINEER pursuant to para-
graphs 9.10 and 9.11 with respect to any such claim, dispute or other matter (except
any which have been waived by the making or acceptance of final payment as
provided in paragraph 14.16) will be a condition precedent to any exercise by
OWNER or CONTRACTOR of such rights or remedies as either may otherwise have
under the Contract Documents or by Laws or Regulations in respect of any such
claim, dispute or other matter.
Limitations on ENGINEER's Responsibilities:
9.13 Neither ENGINEER's authority to act under this Article 9 or elsewhere
in the Contract Documents nor any decision made by ENGINEER in good faith either
to exercise or not exercise such authority shall give rise to any duty or responsibility
of ENGINEER to CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, or any other
person or organization performing any of the Work, or to any surety for any of them.
9.14 Whenever in the Contract Documents the terms "as ordered ", "as
directed ", "as required ", "as allowed ", "as approved" or terms of like effect or
import are used, or the adjectives "reasonable ", "suitable ", "acceptable ", "proper" or
"satisfactory" or adjectives of like effect or import are used to describe a
requirement, direction, review or judgment of ENGINEER as to the Work, it is
intended that such requirement, direction, review or judgment will be solely to
evaluate the Work for compliance with the Contract Documents (unless there is a
specific statement indicating otherwise). The use of any such term or adjective
shall not be effective to assign to ENGINEER any duty or authority to supervise or
direct the furnishing or performance of the Work or any duty or authority to
undertake responsibility contrary to the provisions of paragraph 9.15 or 9.16.
9.15 ENGINEER will not be responsible for CONTRACTOR's means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures of construction, or the safety precautions and
programs incident thereto, and ENGINEER will not be responsible for CONTRAC-
TOR'S failure to perform or furnish the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
9.16 ENGINEER will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of CON-
TRACTOR or of any Subcontractor, any Supplier, or of any other person or
organization performing or furnishing any of the Work.
ARTICLE ID-- CHANGES IN THE WORK
10.1 Without invalidating the Agreement and without notice to any surety,
OWNER may, at any time or from time to time, order additions, deletions or
revisions in the Work; these will be authorized by a Written Amendment, a Change
Order, or a Work Directive Change. Upon receipt of any such document,
CONTRACTOR shall promptly proceed with the Work involved which will be

performed under the applicable conditions of the Contract Documents (except as
otherwise specifically provided).
10.2 If OWNER and CONTRACTOR are unable to agree as to the extent, if
any, of an increase or decrease in the Contract Price or an extension or shortening
of the Contract Time that should be allowed as a result of a Work Directive Change,
a claim may be made therefor as provided in Article 11 or Article 12.
10.3 CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to an increase in the Contract Price
or an extension of the Contract Time with respect to any Work performed that is
not required by the Contract Documents as amended, modified and supplemented as

in paragraph 6.22 and except in the case of uncovering Work as provided in
paragraph 13.9.
10.4 OWNER and CONTRACTOR shall execute appropriate Change Orders (or
Written Amendments) covering:
10.4.1 changes in the Work which are ordered by OWNER pursuant to para-
graph 10.1 are required because of acceptance of defective Work under
paragraph 13.13 or correcting defective Work under paragraph 13.14, or
are agreed to by the parties;
10.4.2 changes in the Contract Price or Contract Time which are agreed to by
the parties; and
10.4.3 changes in the Contract Price or Contract Time which embody the
substance of any written decision rendered by ENGINEER pursuant to
paragraph 9.11;
provided that, in lieu of executing any such Change Order, an appeal may be taken
from any such decision in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents
and applicable Laws and Regulations, but during any such appeal, CONTRACTOR
shall carry on the Work and adhere to the progress schedule as provided in
paragraph 6.29.
10.5 If notice of any change affecting the general scope of the Work or the
provisions of the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, Contract Price
or Contract Time) is required by the provisions of any Bond to be given to a surety,
the giving of any such notice will be CONTRACTOR's responsibility, and the amount
of each applicable Bond will be adjusted accordingly.

ARTICLE 11 -- CHANGE OF CONTRACT PRICE
11.1 The Contract Price constitutes the total compensation (subject to
authorized adjustments) payable to CONTRACTOR for performing the Work. All
duties, responsibilities and obligations assigned to or undertaken by CONTRACTOR
shall be at his expense without change in the Contract Price.
11.2 The Contract Price may only be changed by a Change Order or by a
Written Amendment. Any claim for an increase or decrease in the Contract Price
shall be based on written notice delivered by the party making the claim to the
other party and to ENGINEER promptly (but in no event later than thirty days) after
the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature
of the claim. Notice of the amount of the claim with supporting data shall be
delivered within sixty days after such occurrence (unless ENGINEER allows an
additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim)
and shall be accompanied by claimant's written statement that the amount claimed
covers all known amounts (direct, indirect and consequential) to which the claimant
is entitled as a result of the occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in
the Contract Price shall be determined by ENGINEER in accordance with para-
graph 9.11 if OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot otherwise agree on the amount
involved. No claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price will be valid if not
submitted in accordance with this paragraph 11.2.
11.3 The value of any Work covered by a Change Order or of any claim for an
increase or decrease in the Contract Price shall be determined in one of the
following ways:
11.3.1 Where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the
Contract Documents, by application of unit prices to the quantities of
the items involved (subject to the provisions of paragraphs 11.9.1 through
11.9.3, inclusive).
11.3.2 By mutual acceptance of a lump sum (which may include an allowance
for overhead and profit not necessarily in accordance with para-
graph 11.6.2.1).
11.3.3 On the basis of the Cost of the Work (determined as provided in
paragraphs 11.4 and 11.5) plus a CONTRACTOR's Fee for overhead and
profit (determined as provided in paragraphs 11.6 and 11.7).
Cost of the Work:
11.4 The term Cost of the Work means the sum of all costs necessarily
incurred and paid by CONTRACTOR in the proper performance of the Work. Except

no higher than those prevailing in the locality of the Project, shall include only the
following items and shall not include any of the costs itemized in paragraph 11.5.
11.4.1 Payroll costs for employees in the direct employ of CONTRACTOR in
the performance of the Work under schedules of job classifications
agreed upon by OWNER and CONTRACTOR. Payroll costs for employ-
ees not employed full time on the Work shall be apportioned on the basis
of their time spend on the Work. Payroll costs shall include, but not be
limited to, salaries and wages plus the cost of fringe benefits which shall
include social security contributions, unemployment, excise and payroll
taxes, workers' or workmen's compensation, health and retirement bene-
fits, bonuses, sick leave, vacation and holiday pay applicable thereto.
Such employees shall include superintendents and foremen at the site.
The expenses of performing Work after regular working hours, on
Saturday, Sunday or legal holidays, shall be included in the above to the
extent authorized by OWNER.
11.42 Cost of all materials and equipment furnished and incorporated in the
Work, including costs of transportation and storage thereof, and Sup-
pliers' field services required in connection therewith. All cash discounts
shall accrue to CONTRACTOR unless OWNER deposits funds with
CONTRACTOR with which to make payments, in which case the cash
discounts shall accrue to OWNER. All trade discounts, rebates and
refunds and all returns from sale of surplus materials and equipment
shall accrue to OWNER, and CONTRACTOR shall make provisions so
that they may be obtained. -
11.4.3 Payments made by CONTRACTOR to the Subcontractors for Work
performed by Subcontractors. If required by OWNER, CONTRACTOR
shall obtain competitive bids from Subcontractors acceptable to CON-
TRACTOR and shall deliver such bids to OWNER who will then deter-
mine, with the advice of Engineer, which bids will be accepted. If a
subcontract provides that the Subcontractor is to be paid on the basis of
Cost of the Work Plus a Fee, the Subcontractor's Cost of the Work shall
be determined in the same manner as CONTRACTOR's Cost of the Work.
All subcontracts shall be subject to the other provisions of the Contract
Documents insofar as applicable.
11.4.4 Costs of special consultants (including but not limited to engineers,
architects, testing laboratories, surveyors, attorneys and accountants)
employed for services specifically related to the Work.

thereof whether rented from CONTRACTOR or others in accord-
ance with rental agreements approved by OWNER with the advice
of ENGINEER, and the costs of transportation, loading, unloading,

no longer necessary for the Work.
11.4.5.4 Sales, consumer, use or similar taxes related to the Work, and for
which CONTRACTOR is liable, imposed by Laws and Regulations.
11.4.5.5 Deposits lost for causes other than negligence of CONTRACTOR,
any Subcontractor or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any
of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable, and royalty
payments and fees for permits and licenses.
11.4.5.6 Losses and damages (and related expenses), not compensated by
insurance or otherwise, to the Work or otherwise sustained by
CONTRACTOR in connection with the performance and furnishing
of the Work (except losses and damages within the deductible
amounts of property insurance established by OWNER in accord-
ance with paragraph 5.9), provided they have resulted from causes
other than the negligence of CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, or
anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose
acts any of them may be liable. Such losses shall include
settlements made with the written consent and approval of
OWNER. No such losses, damages and expenses shall be included in
the Cost of the Work for the purpose of determining CONTRAC-
TOR's Fee. If, however, any such loss or damage requires
reconstruction and CONTRACTOR is placed in charge thereof,
CONTRACTOR shall be paid for services a fee proportionate to
that stated in paragraph 11.6.2.

CONTRACTOR's Fee:
11.6 The CONTRACTOR's Fee allowed to CONTRACTOR for overhead and
profit shall be determined as follows:
11.6.1 a mutually acceptable fixed fee; or if none can be agreed upon,
11.6.2 a fee based on the following percentages of the various portions of the
Cost of the Work:
11.62.1 for costs incurred under paragraphs 11.4.1 and 11.42, the CON -
TRACTOR's Fee shall be fifteen percent;
11.62.2 for costs incurred under paragraph 11.4.3, the CONTRACTOR's
Fee shall be five percent; and if a subcontract is on the basis of
Cost of the Work Plus a Fee, the maximum allowable to CON-
TRACTOR on account of overhead and profit of all Subcontractors
shall be fifteen percent;
11.62.3 no fee shall be payable on the basis of costs itemized under
paragraphs 11.4.4, 11.4.5 and 11.5;
11.6.2.4 the amount of credit to be allowed by CONTRACTOR to OWNER
for any such change which results in a net decrease in cost will be
the amount of the actual net decrease plus a deduction in CON -
TRACTOR's Fee by an amount equal to ten percent of the net
decrease; and
11.6.2.5 when both additions and credits are involved in any one change, the
adjustment in CONTRACTOR's Fee shall be computed on the basis
of the net change in accordance with paragraphs 11.6.2.1 through
11.6.2.4, inclusive.
11.7 Whenever the cost of any Work is to be determined pursuant to
paragraph 11.4 or 11.5, CONTRACTOR will submit in form acceptable to ENGI-
NEER an itemized cost breakdown together with supporting data.
Cash Allowances:
11.8 It is understood that CONTRACTOR has included in the Contract Price
all allowances so named in the Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so
covered to be done by such Subcontractors or Suppliers and for such sums within the
limit of the allowances as may be acceptable to ENGINEER. CONTRACTOR agrees
that:

11.8.1 The allowances include the cost to CONTRACTOR (less any applicable
trade discounts) or materials and equipment required by the allowances
to be delivered at the site, and all applicable taxes; and
11.8.2 CONTRACTOR's costs for unloading and handling on the site, labor,
installation costs, overhead, profit and other expenses contemplated for
the allowances have been included in the Contract Price and not in the
allowances. No demand for additional payment on account of any thereof
will be valid.
Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued as
recommended by ENGINEER to reflect actual amounts due CONTRACTOR on
account of Work covered by allowances, and the Contract Price shall be corre-
spondingly adjusted.
Unit Price Work:
11.9.1 Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to
be Unit Price Work, initially the Contract Price will be deemed to
include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to the sum of the
established unit prices for each separately identified item of Unit Price
Work times the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the
Agreement. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are
not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of Bids and
determining an initial Contract Price. Determinations of the actual
quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed by CON-
TRACTOR will be made by ENGINEER in accordance with para-
graph 9.10.
11.9.2 Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by
CONTRACTOR to be adequate to cover CONTRACTOR's overhead and
profit for each separately identified item.
11.93 Where the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by
CONTRACTOR differs materially and significantly from the estimated
quantity of such item indicated in the Agreement and there is no
corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work and if
CONTRACTOR believes that CONTRACTOR has incurred additional
expense as a result thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim for an
increase in the contract Price in accordance with Article 11 if the
parties are unable to agree as to the amount of any such increase.

ARTICLE 12 -- CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME
12.1 The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order or a Written
Amendment. Any claim for an extension or shortening of the Contract Time shall
be based on written notice delivered by the party making the claim to the other
party and to ENGINEER promptly (but in no event later than thirty days) after the
occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of
the claim. Notice of the extent of the claim with supporting data shall be delivered
within sixty days after such occurrence (unless ENGINEER allows an additional
period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim) and shall be
accompanied by the claimant's written statement that the adjustment claimed is the
entire adjustment to which the claimant has reason to believe it is entitled as a
result of the occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in the Contract
Time shall be determined by ENGINEER in accordance with paragraph 9.11 if
OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot otherwise agree. No claim for an adjustment in
the Contract Time will be valid if not submitted in accordance with the require-
ments of this paragraph 12.1.
12.2 The Contract Time will be extended in an amount equal to time lost due
to delays beyond the control of CONTRACTOR if a claim is made therefor as
provided in paragraph 12.1. Such delays shall include, but not be limited to, acts or
neglect by OWNER or others performing additional work as contemplated by
Article 7, or to fires, floods, labor disputes, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions
or acts of God.
12.3 All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of
the Agreement. The provisions of this Article 12 shall not exclude recovery for
damages (including but not limited to fees and charges of engineers, architects,
attorneys and other professionals and court and arbitration costs) for delay by either
party.
ARTICLE 13-- WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE; TESTS AND INSPECTIONS;
CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR ACCEPTANCE OF
DEFECTIVE WORK
Warranty and Guarantee:
13.1 CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees to OWNER and ENGINEER that
all Work will be in accordance with the Contract Documents and will not be
defective. Prompt notice of all defects shall be given to CONTRACTOR. All
defective Work, whether or not in place, may be rejected or accepted as provided in
this Article 13.
*GC -38

Access to Work:
13.2 ENGINEER and ENGINEER's representatives, other representatives of
OWNER, testing agencies and governmental agencies with jurisdictional interests
will have access to the Work at reasonable times for their observation, inspecting
and testing. CONTRACTOR shall provide proper and safe conditions for such
access.
Tests and Inspections:
13.3 CONTRACTOR shall give ENGINEER timely notice of readiness of the
Work for all required inspections, tests or approvals.
13.4 If Laws or Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction require any
Work (or part thereof) to specifically be inspected, tested or approved, CONTRAC-
TOR shall assume full responsibility therefor, pay all costs in connection therewith
and furnish ENGINEER the required certificates of inspection, testing or approval.
CONTRACTOR shall also be responsible for and shall pay all costs in connection
with any inspection or testing required in connection with OWNER's or ENGINEER's
acceptance of a Supplier of materials or equipment proposed to be incorporated in
the Work, or of materials or equipment submitted for approval prior to CON -
TRACTOR's purchase thereof for the incorporation in the Work. The cost of all '
inspections, tests and approvals in addition to the above which are required by the
Contract Documents shall be paid by OWNER (unless otherwise specified).
13.5 All inspections, tests or approvals other than those required by Laws or
Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction shall be performed by organiza-
tions acceptable to OWNER and CONTRACTOR (or by ENGINEER if so specified).
13.6 If any Work (including the work of others) that is to be inspected, tested
or approved is covered without written concurrence of ENGINEER, it must, if
requested by ENGINEER, be uncovered for observation. Such uncovering shall be at
CONTRACTOR's expense unless CONTRACTOR has given ENGINEER timely notice
of CONTRACTOR's intention to cover the same and ENGINEER has not acted with
reasonable promptness in response to such notice.
13.7 Neither observations by ENGINEER nor inspections, tests or approvals by
others shall relieve CONTRACTOR from CONTRACTOR's obligations to perform
the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
Uncovering Work:
13.8 If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of ENGINEER, it
must, if requested by ENGINEER, be uncovered for ENGINEER's observation and
replaced at CONTRACTOR's expense.

13.9 If ENGINEER considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be
observed by ENGINEER or inspected or tested by others, CONTRACTOR, at
ENGINEER'S request, shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for obser-
vation, inspection or testing as ENGINEER may require, that portion of the Work in
question, furnishing all necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is found that
such Work is defective, CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect and conse-
quential costs of such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection and testing and
of satisfactory reconstruction (including but not limited to fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals), and OWNER shall be
entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are
unable to agree as to the amount thereof, may make a claim therefor as provided in
Article 11. If, however, such Work is not found to be defective, CONTRACTOR
shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract
Time, or both, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation,
inspection, testing and reconstruction; and, if the parties are unable to agree as to
the amount or extent thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefor as
provided in Articles 11 and 12.
Owner May Stop the Work:
13.10 If the Work is defective, or CONTRACTOR fails to supply sufficient
skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment, or fails to furnish or perform the
Work in such a way that the completed Work will conform to the Contract
Documents, OWNER may order CONTRACTOR to stop the Work, or any portion
thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, this right of
OWNER to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of OWNER to
exercise this right for the benefit of CONTRACTOR or any other party.
Correction or Removal of Defective Work:
13.11 If required by ENGINEER, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, as directed,
either correct all defective Work, whether or not fabricated, installed or completed,
or, if the Work has been rejected by ENGINEER, remove it from the site and replace
it with nondefective Work. CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect and
consequential costs of such correction or removal (including but not limited to fees
and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals) made
necessary thereby.
One Year Correction Period:
13.12 If within one year after the date of Substantial Completion or such
longer period of time as may be prescribed by Laws or Regulations or by the terms
of any applicable special guarantee required by the Contract Documents or by any
specific provision of the Contract Documents, any Work is found to be defective
CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost to OWNER and in accordance with
OWNER's written instructions, either correct such defective Work, or, if it has been

rejected by OWNER, remove it from the site and replace it with nondefective Work.
If CONTRACTOR does not promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, or
in an emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage, OWNER
may have the defective Work corrected or the rejected Work removed and replaced,
and all direct, indirect and consequential costs of such removal and replacement
(including but not limited to fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and
other professions) will be paid by CONTRACTOR. In special circumstances where a
particular item of equipment is placed in continuous service before Substantial
Completion of all the Work, the correction period for that item may start to run
from an earlier date if so provided in the Specifications or by Written Amendment.
Acceptance of Defective Work:
13.13 If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of
defective Work, OWNER (and, prior to ENGINEER's recommendation of final
payment, also ENGINEER) prefers to accept it, OWNER may do so. CONTRACTOR
shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs attributable to OWNER's
evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work (such costs to be
approved by ENGINEER as to reasonableness and to include but not be limited to
fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals). If any
such acceptance occurs prior to ENGINEER's recommendation of final payment, a
Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract
Documents with respect to the Work; and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate
decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the
amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. If
the acceptance occurs after such recommendation, an appropriate amount will be
paid by CONTRACTOR to OWNER.
OWNER May Correct Defective Work:
13.14 If CONTRACTOR fails within a reasonable time after written notice of
ENGINEER to proceed to correct and to correct defective Work or to remove and
replace rejected Work as required by ENGINEER in accordance with para-
graph 13.11, or if CONTRACTOR fails to perform the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents, or if CONTRACTOR fails to comply with any other provision
of the Contract Documents, OWNER may, after seven days' written notice to
CONTRACTOR, correct and remedy any such deficiency. In exercising the rights
and remedies under this paragraph, OWNER shall proceed expeditiously. To the
extent necessary to complete corrective and remedial action, OWNER may exclude
CONTRACTOR from all or part of the site, take possession of all or part of the
Work, and suspend CONTRACTOR's services related thereto, take possession of
CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the
site and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or
for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere.
CONTRACTOR shall allow OWNER, OWNER's representatives, agents and employ-
ees such access to the site as may be necessary to enable OWNER to exercise the
GC-41

r
rights and remedies under this paragraph. All direct, indirect and consequential
costs of OWNER in exercising such rights and remedies will be charged against
CONTRACTOR in an amount approved as to reasonableness by ENGINEER, and a
Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract
Documents with respect to the Work; and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate
decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the
amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. Such
direct, indirect and consequential costs will include but not be limited to fees and
charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals, all court and
arbitration costs and all costs of repair and replacement of work of others destroyed
or damaged by correction, removal or replacement of CONTRACTOR's defective
Work. CONTRACTOR shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Time
because of any delay in performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by
OWNER of OWNER's rights and remedies hereunder.
Schedule of Values:
ARTICLE 14-- PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR
AND COMPLETION
14.1 The schedule of values established as provided in paragraph 2.9 will serve
as the basis for progress payments and will be incorporated into a form of
Application for Payment acceptable to ENGINEER. Progress payments on account
of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed.
Application for Progress Payment:
14.2 At least twenty days before each progress payment is scheduled (but not
more often than once a month), CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for
review an Application for Payment filled and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the
Work completed as of the date of the Application and accompanied by such
supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. If payment is
requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but
delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to in writing,
the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or
other documentation warranting that OWNER has received the materials and
equipment free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests and encumbrances
(which are hereinafter in these General Conditions referred to as "Liens ") and
evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property
insurance and other arrangements to protect OWNER's interest therein, all of which
will be satisfactory to OWNER. The amount of retainage with respect to progress
payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement.
GC-42
CONTRACTOR's Warranty of Title:
14.3 CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials
and equipment covered by any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the
Project or not, will pass to OWNER no later than the time of payment free and clear
of all Liens.
Review of Applications for Progress Payment:
14.4 ENGINEER will, within ten days after receipt of each Application for
Payment, either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the
Application to OWNER, or return the Application to CONTRACTOR indicating in
writing ENGINEER's reasons for refusing to recommend payment. In the latter
case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the
Application. Ten days after presentation of the Application for Payment with
ENGINEER's recommendation, the amount recommended will (subject to the pro-
visions of the last sentence of paragraph 14.7) become due and when due will be paid
by OWNER to CONTRACTOR.
14.5 ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment requested in an Applica-
tion for Payment will constitute a representation by ENGINEER to OWNER, based
on ENGINEER's on -site observations of the Work in progress as an experienced and
qualified design professional and on ENGINEER's review of the Application for
Payment and the accompanying data and schedules that the Work has progressed to
the point indicated; that, to the best of ENGINEER's knowledge, information and
belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents
(subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon
Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the
Contract Documents, to a final determination of quantities and classifications for
Unit Price Work under paragraph 9.10, and to any other qualifications stated in the
recommendation); and that CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment of the amount
recommended. However, by recommending any such payment, ENGINEER will not
thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaustive or continuous on -site
inspections have been made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond
the responsibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract Documents
or that there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might
entitle CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or OWNER to withhold
payment to CONTRACTOR.
14.6 ENGINEER's recommendation of final payment will constitute an addi-
tional representation by ENGINEER to OWNER that the conditions precedent to
CONTRACTOR's being entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13
have been fulfilled.
14.7 ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any
payment if, in ENGINEER's opinion, it would be incorrect to make such
GC-43
representations to OWNER. ENGINEER may also refuse to recommend any such
payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence of the results of subse-
quent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to
such extent as may be necessary in ENGINEER's opinion to protect OWNER from
loss because:
14.7.1 the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring
correction or replacement,
14.7.2 the Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change
Order,
14.7.3 OWNER has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work
in accordance with paragraph 13.14, or
14.7.4 of ENGINEER's actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events
enumerated in paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.9 inclusive.
OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by
ENGINEER because claims have been made against OWNER on account of CON -
TRACTOR's performance or furnishing of the Work or Liens have been filed in
connection with the Work or there are other items entitling OWNER to a set -off
against the amount recommended, but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate
written notice (with a copy to ENGINEER) stating the reasons for such action.
Substantial Completion:
14.8 When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended
use, CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER and ENGINEER in writing that the entire
Work is substantially complete (except for items specifically listed by CONTRAC-
TOR as incomplete) and request that ENGINEER issue a certificate of Substantial
Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and
ENGINEER shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of
completion. If ENGINEER does not consider the Work substantially complete,
ENGINEER will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If
ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will prepare and
deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix
the date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a
tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment. OWNER
shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to make
written objection to ENGINEER as to any provisions of the certificate or attached
list. If, after considering such objections, ENGINEER concludes that the Work is not
substantially complete, ENGINEER will within fourteen days after submission of the
tentative certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing, stating the
reasons therefor. If, after consideration of OWNER's objections, ENGINEER
considers the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will within said fourteen days
GC-44
execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of
Substantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be completed or
corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as ENGINEER
believes justified after consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time
of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion, ENGINEER will
deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division of
responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with
respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance and
warranties. Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so
inform ENGINEER prior to ENGINEER'S issuing the definitive certificate of
Substantial Completion, ENGINEER's aforesaid recommendation will be binding on
OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment.
14.9 OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Work
after the date of Substantial Completion, but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR
reasonable access to complete or correct items on the tentative list.
Partial Utilization:
14.10 Use by OWNER of any finished part of the Work, which has specifically
been identified in the Contract Documents, or which OWNER, ENGINEER and
CONTRACTOR agree constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the
Work that can be used by OWNER without significant interference with CON -
TRACTOR's performance of the remainder of the Work, may be accomplished prior
to Substantial Completion of all the Work subject to the following:
14.10.1 OWNER at any time may request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit
OWNER to use any such part of the Work which OWNER believes to be
ready for its intended use and substantially complete. If CONTRACTOR
agrees, CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER and ENGINEER that said
part of the Work is substantially complete and request ENGINEER to
issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.
CONTRACTOR at any time may notify OWNER and ENGINEER in
writing that CONTRACTOR considers any such part of the Work ready
for its intended use and substantially complete and request ENGINEER
to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the
Work. Within a reasonable time after either such request, OWNER,
CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of that part of
the Work to determine its status of completion. If ENGINEER does not
consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete, ENGINEER
will notify OWNER and CONTRACTOR in writing, giving the reasons
therefor. If ENGINEER considers that part of the Work to be substan-
tially complete, the provisions of paragraphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply
with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that part of
the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access
thereto.
GC-45
14.10.2 OWNER may at any time request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit
OWNER to take over operation of any such part of the Work although it
is not substantially complete. A copy of such request will be sent to
ENGINEER and within a reasonable time thereafter OWNER, CON-
TRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of that part of the
Work to determine its status of completion and will prepare a list of the
items remaining to be completed or corrected thereon before final
payment. If CONTRACTOR does not object in writing to OWNER and
ENGINEER that such part of the Work is not ready for separate
operation by OWNER, ENGINEER will finalize the list of items to be
completed or corrected and will deliver such list to OWNER and
CONTRACTOR together with a written recommendation as to the
division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance,
utilities, insurance, warranties and guarantees for that part of the Work
which will become binding upon OWNER and CONTRACTOR at the time
when OWNER takes over such operation (unless they shall have otherwise
agreed in writing and so informed ENGINEER). During such operation
and prior to Substantial Completion of such part of the Work, OWNER
shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct
items on said list and to complete other related Work.
14.10.3 No occupancy or separate operation of part of the Work will be
accomplished prior to compliance with the requirements of para-
graph 5.15 in respect of property insurance.
Final Inspection:
14.11 Upon written notice from CONTRACTOR that the entire Work or an
agreed portion thereof is complete, ENGINEER will make a final inspection with
OWNER and CONTRACTOR and will notify CONTRACTOR in writing of all
particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective.
CONTRACTOR shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to remedy
such deficiencies.
Final Application for Payment:
14.1Z After CONTRACTOR has completed all such corrections to the satis-
faction of ENGINEER and delivered all maintenance and operating instructions,
schedules, guarantees, Bonds, certificates of inspection, marked -up record docu-
ments (as provided in paragraph 6.19) and other documents - -all as required by the
Contract Documents, and after ENGINEER has indicated that the Work is accept-
able (subject to the provisions of paragraph 14.16), CONTRACTOR may make
application for final payment following the procedure for progress payments. The
final Application for Payment shall be accompanied by all documentation called for
in the Contract Documents, together with complete and legally effective releases or
GC-46
waivers (satisfactory to OWNER) of all Liens arising out of or filed in connection
with the Work. In lieu thereof and as approved by OWNER, CONTRACTOR may
furnish receipts or releases in full; an affidavit of CONTRACTOR that the releases
and receipts include all labor, services, materials and equipment for which a Lien
could be filed, and that all payrolls, material and equipment bills, and other
indebtedness connected with the Work for which OWNER or OWNER's property
might in any way be responsible, have been paid or otherwise satisfied; and consent
of the surety, if any, to final payment. If any Subcontractor or Supplier fails to
furnish a release or receipt in full, CONTRACTOR may furnish a Bond or other
collateral satisfactory to OWNER to indemnify OWNER against any Lien.
Final Payment and Acceptance:
14.13 If, on the basis of ENGINEER's observation of the Work during construc-
tion and final inspection, and ENGINEER'S review of the final Application for
Payment and accompanying documentation - -all as required by the Contract Docu-
ments, ENGINEER is satisfied that the Work has been completed and CONTRAC-
TOR's other obligations under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled, ENGI-
NEER will, within ten days after receipt of the final Application for Payment,
indicate in writing ENGINEER's recommendation of payment and present the
Application to OWNER for payment. Thereupon, ENGINEER will give written
notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR that the Work is acceptable subject to the
provisions of paragraph 14.16. Otherwise, ENGINEER will return the Application to
CONTRACTOR, indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final
payment, in which case CONTRACTOR shall make the necessary corrections and
resubmit the Application. Thirty days after presentation to OWNER of the
Application and accompanying documentation, in appropriate form and substance,
and with ENGINEER's recommendation and notice of acceptability, the amount
recommended by ENGINEER will become due and will be paid by OWNER to
CONTRACTOR.
14.14 If, through no fault of CONTRACTOR, final completion of the Work is
significantly delayed and if ENGINEER so confirms, OWNER shall, upon receipt of
CONTRACTOR's final Application for Payment and recommendation of ENGINEER,
and without terminating the Agreement, make payment of the balance due for that
portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to be
held by OWNER for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than the retaining
stipulated in the Agreement, and if Bonds have been furnished as required in
paragraph 5.1, the written consent of the surety to the payment of the balance due
for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by
CONTRACTOR to ENGINEER with the Application for such payment. Such
payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final payment,
except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims.
GC-47
Contractor's Continuing Obligation:
14.15 CONTRACTOR's obligation to perform and complete the work in ac-
cordance with the Contract Documents shall be absolute. Neither recommendation
of any progress or final payment by ENGINEER, nor the issuance of a certificate of
Substantial Completion, nor any payment by OWNER to CONTRACTOR under the
Contract Documents, nor any use or occupancy of the Work or any part thereof by
OWNER, nor any act of acceptance by OWNER nor any failure to do so, nor any
review and approval of a Shop Drawing or sample submission, nor the issuance of a
notice of acceptability by ENGINEER pursuant to paragraph 14.13, nor any correc-
tion of defective Work by OWNER will constitute an acceptance of Work not in
accordance with the Contract Documents or a release of CONTRACTOR's obliga-
tion to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents (except as
provided in paragraph 14.16).
Waiver of Claim:
14.16 The making and acceptance of final payment will constitute:
14.16.1 a waiver of all claims by OWNER against CONTRACTOR, except claims
arising from unsettled Liens, from defective Work appearing after final
inspection pursuant to paragraph 14.11 or from failure to comply with
the Contract Documents or the terms of any special guarantees specified
therein; however, it will not constitute a waiver by OWNER of any rights
in respect of CONTRACTOR's continuing obligations under the Contract
Documents; and
14.16.2 a waiver of all claims by CONTRACTOR against OWNER other than
those previously made in writing and still unsettled.
Owner May Suspend Work:
ARTICLE 15-- SIISPENSION OF WORK
AND TERMINATION
15.1 OWNER may, at any time and without cause, suspend the Work or any
portion thereof for a period of not more than ninety days by notice in writing to
CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER which will fix the date on which Work will be
resumed. CONTRACTOR shall resume the Work on the date so fixed. CONTRAC-
TOR shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the
Contract Time, or both, directly attributable to any suspension if CONTRACTOR
makes an approved claim therefore as provided in Articles 11 and 12.
GC-48
Owner May Terminate:
15.2 Upon the occurrence of any one of more of the following events:
152.1 if CONTRACTOR commences a voluntary case under any chapter of the
Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), as now or hereafter in
effect, or if CONTRACTOR takes any equivalent or similar action by
filing a petition or otherwise under any other federal or state law in
effect at such time relating to the bankruptcy or insolvency;
15/.2 if a petition is filed against CONTRACTOR under any chapter of the
Bankruptcy Code as now or hereafter in effect at the time of filing, or if
a petition is filed seeking any such equivalent or similar relief against
CONTRACTOR under any other federal or state law in effect at the
time relating to bankruptcy or insolvency;
15.2.3 if CONTRACTOR makes a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors;
15.2.4 if a trustee, receiver, custodian or agent of CONTRACTOR is appointed
under applicable law or under contract, whose appointment or authority
to take charge of property of CONTRACTOR is for the purpose of
enforcing a Lien against such property or for the purpose of general
administration of such property for the benefit of CONTRACTOR's
creditors;
15.2.5 if CONTRACTOR admits in writing an inability to pay its debts as they
become due;
15.2.6 if CONTRACTOR persistently fails to perform the Work in accordance
with the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to
supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment or
failure to adhere to the progress schedule established under para-
graph 2.9 as revised from time to time);
15.2.7 if CONTRACTOR disregards Laws or Regulations of any public body
having jurisdiction;
15.2.8 if CONTRACTOR disregards the authority of ENGINEER; or
15.2.9 if CONTRACTOR otherwise violates in any substantial way any provi-
sions of the Contract Documents;
OWNER may, after giving CONTRACTOR (and the surety, if there be one) seven
days' written notice and to the extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, terminate
the services of CONTRACTOR, exclude CONTRACTOR from the site and take
GC-49
possession of the Work and all of CONTRACTOR'S tools, appliances, construction
equipment and machinery at the site and use the same to the full extent they could
be used by CONTRACTOR (without liability to CONTRACTOR for trespass or
conversion), incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site
or for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere, and
finish the Work as OWNER may deem expedient. In such case, CONTRACTOR shall
not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If the
unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds the direct, indirect and consequential
costs of completing the Work (including but not limited to fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals and court and arbitration
costs) such excess will be paid to CONTRACTOR. If such costs exceed such unpaid
balance, CONTRACTOR shall pay the difference to OWNER. Such costs incurred by
OWNER will be approved as to reasonableness by ENGINEER and incorporated in a
Change Order, but when exercising any rights or remedies under this paragraph,
OWNER shall not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed.
15.3 Where CONTRACTOR's services have been so terminated by OWNER,
the termination will not affect any rights or remedies of OWNER against CON-
TRACTOR then existing of which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment
of monies due CONTRACTOR by OWNER will not release CONTRACTOR from
liability.
15.4 Upon seven days' written notice to CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER,
OWNER may, without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy,
elect to abandon the Work and terminate the Agreement. In such case, CON-
TRACTOR shall be paid for all Work executed and any expense sustained plus
reasonable termination expenses, which will include, but not be limited to, direct,
indirect and consequential costs (including, but not limited to, fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals and court and arbitration
costs).
Contractor May Stop Work or Terminate:
15.5 If, through no act or fault of CONTRACTOR, the Work is suspended for
a period of more than ninety days by OWNER or under an order of court or other
public authority, or ENGINEER fails to act on any Application for Payment within
thirty days after it is submitted, or OWNER fails for thirty days to pay CON-
TRACTOR any sum finally determined to be due, the CONTRACTOR may, upon
seven days' written notice to OWNER and ENGINEER, terminate the Agreement and
recover from OWNER payment for all Work executed and any expense sustained plus
reasonable termination expenses. In addition and in lieu of terminating the
Agreement, if ENGINEER has failed to act on an Application for Payment or
OWNER has failed to make any payment as aforesaid, CONTRACTOR may upon
seven days' written notice to OWNER and ENGINEER stop the Work until payment
of all amounts then due. The provisions of this paragraph shall not relieve
CONTRACTOR of the obligations under paragraph 6.29 to carry on the Work in
GC -50
accordance with the progress schedule and without delay during disputes and
disagreements with OWNER.
ARTICLE 16— ARBITRATION
16.1 All claims, disputes and other matters in question between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR arising out of, or relating to the Contract Documents or the breach
thereof (except for claims which have been waived by the making or acceptance of
final payment as provided by paragraph 14.16) will be decided by artibration in
accordance with the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association then obtaining subject to the limitations of this Article 16.
This agreement so to arbitrate and any other agreement or consent to arbitrate
entered into in accordance herewith as provided in this Article 16 will be specific-
ally enforceable under the prevailing law of any court having jurisdiction.
16.2 No demand for arbitration of any claim, dispute or other matter that is
required to be referred to ENGINEER initially for decision in accordance with
paragraph 9.11 will be made until the earlier of (a) the date on which ENGINEER has
rendered a decision or (b) the tenth day after the parties have presented their
evidence to ENGINEER if a written decision has not been rendered by ENGINEER
before that date. No demand for arbitration of any such claim, dispute or other
matter will be made later than thirty days after the date on which ENGINEER has
rendered a written decision in respect thereof in accordance with paragraph 9.11;
and the failure to demand arbitration within said thirty days' period shall result in
ENGINEER's decision being final and binding upon OWNER and CONTRACTOR. If
ENGINEER renders a decision after arbitration proceedings have been initiated,
such decision may be entered as evidence but will not supersede the arbitration
proceedings, except where the decision is acceptable to the parties concerned. No
demand for arbitration of any written decision of ENGINEER rendered in accord-
ance with paragraph 9.10 will be made later than ten days after the party making
such demand has delivered written notice of intention to appeal as provided in
paragraph 9.10.
16.3 Notice of the demand for arbitration will be filed in writing with the
other party to the Agreement and with the American Arbitration Association, and a
copy will be sent to ENGINEER for information. The demand for arbitration will be
made within the thirty -day or ten -day period specified in paragraph 16.2, as
applicable, and in all such cases within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or
other matter in question has arisen, and in no event shall any such demand be made
after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such
claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute
of limitations.
16.4 No arbitration arising out of or relating to the Contract Documents shall
include by consolidation, joinder or in any other manner any person or entity
GC -51
(including ENGINEER, ENGINEER's agents, employees or consultants) who is not a
party to this contract unless:
16.4.1 the inclusion of such other person or entity is necessary if complete
relief is to be afforded among those who are already parties to the
arbitration,
16.4.2 such other person or entity is substantially involved in a question of law
or fact which is common to those who are already parties to the
arbitration and which will arise in such proceedings, and
16.4.3 the written consent of the other person or entity sought to be included
and of OWNER and CONTRACTOR has been obtained for such inclusion,
which consent shall make specific reference to this paragraph; but no
such consent shall constitute consent to arbitration of any dispute not
specifically described in such consent or to arbitration with any party
not specifically identified in such consent.
16.5 The award rendered by the arbitrators will be final, judgment may be
entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and will not be subject to
modification or appeal except to the extent permitted by Sections 10 and 11 of the
Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § §10, 11).
Giving Notice:
17.1 Whenever any provision of the Contract Documents requires the giving
of written notice, it will be deemed to have been validly given if delivered in person
to the individual or to a member of the firm or to an officer of the corporation for
whom it is intended, or if delivered at or sent by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, to the last business address known to the giver of the notice.
Computation of Time:
ARTICLE 17-- MISCELLANEOUS
172.1 When any,period of time is referred to in the Contract Documents by
days, it will be computed to exclude the first and include the last day of
such period. If the last day of any such period falls on a Saturday or
Sunday or on a day made a legal holiday by the law of the applicable
jurisdiction, such day will be omitted from the computation.
17.2.2 A calendar day of twenty -four hours measured from midnight to the next
midnight shall constitute a day.

General:
17.3 Should OWNER or CONTRACTOR suffer injury or damage to person or
property because of any error, omission or act of the other party or of any of the
other party's employees or agents or other for whose acts the other party is legally
liable, claim will be made in writing to the other party within a reasonable time of
the first observance of such injury or damage. The provisions of this paragraph 17.3
shall not be construed as a substitute for or a waiver of the provisions of any
applicable statute of limitations or repose.
17.4 The duties and obligations imposed by these General Conditions and the
rights and remedies available hereunder to the parties hereto, and, in particular but
without limitation, the warranties, guarantees and obligations imposed upon CON-
TRACTOR by paragraphs 6.30, 13.1, 13.12, 13.14, 14.3 and 152 and all of the rights
and remedies available to OWNER and ENGINEER thereunder, are in addition to,
and are not to be construed in any way as a limitation of, any rights and remedies
available to any or all of them which are otherwise imposed or available by Laws or
Regulations, by special warranty or guarantee or by other provisions of the Contract
Documents, and the provisions of this paragraph will be effective as if repeated
specifically in the Contract Documents in connection with each particular duty,
obligation, right and remedy to which they apply. All representations, warranties
and guaranteees made inthe Contract Documents will survive final payment and
termination or completion of the Agreement.

SUBJECT: Council Agenda, September 8, 1988
ITEM: 13C. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract for
the Old Settler's Park at Palm Valley Low Water Crossing Project.
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: SHARON PRETE
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that this item be tabled for two weeks.
The apparent law bidder is in the process of obtaining a
Performance Bond, per our direction. We feel that the
$10,000.00 difference between the two lower bi,3s is
sufficient cause to award the bid at the next council
meeting.
