ARTICLE 3—CONTRACT DOCUMENTS: INTENT,
AMENDING, REUSE
Intent:
3.1. The Contract Documents comprise the entire agree-
ment 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 con-
structed in accordance with the Contract Documents. Any
Work, materials or equipment that may reasonably be inferred
from the Contract Documents or from prevailing custom or
trade usage as being required to produce the intended result
will be furnished and performed whether or not specifically
called for. When words or phrases which have a well -known
technical or construction industry or trade meaning are used to
describe Work, materials or equipment, such words or phrases
shall be interpreted in accordance with that meaning. Clarifi-
cations and interpretations of the Contract Documents shall be
issued by ENGINEER as provided in paragraph 9.4.
3.2.1. The Specifications may vary in font, format and
style. Some specification sections are written in varying degrees
of streamlined or declarative style and some sections may be
relatively narrative by comparison. Omissions of such words
and phrases as "the Contractor shall," "in conformity with," "as
shown," or "as specified" are intentional in streamlined sections.
Omitted words and phrases shall be supplied by inference.
Similar types of provisions may appear in various parts of a
section or articles within a part dependitR on the format of the
section. The Contractor shall not take advantage of any
variation of form, format or style in making claims for extra
Work.
3.2.2 The cross referencing of specification sections under
the subparagraph heading "Related Sections include but are not
necessarily limited to:" and elsewhere within each specification
section is provided as an aid and convenience to the
Contractor. The Contractor shall not rely on the cross
referencing provided and shall be responsible to co rdinae the
entire work under the Contract Documents and provide a
complete Project whether or not the cross referencing is
provided in each section or whether or not the cross
referencing is complete.
3.3. Reference to Standards and Specifications of Technical
Societies; Reporting and Resolving Discrepancies:
3.3.1. Reference to standards, 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 time of opening of Bids
(or, on the Effective Date of the Agreement if there were no
Bids), except as may be otherwise specifically stated in the
Contract Documents.
3.3.2. If, during the performance of the Work, CON -
TRACTOR discovers any conflict, error, ambiguity or dis-
crepancy within the Contract Documents or between the
Contract Documents and any provision of any such Law or
Regulation applicable to the performance of the Work or of
any such standard, specification, manual or code or of any
instructionof any Supplier referred to in paragraph 6.5,
CONTRACTOR shall report it to ENGINEER in writing at
once, and, CONTRACTOR shall not proceed with the Work
affected thereby (except in an emergency as authorized by
paragraph6.23) until an amendment or supplement to the
Contract Documents has been issued by one of the methods
indicated in paragraph 3.5 or 3.6; provided, however, that
CONTRACTOR shall not be liable to OWNER or ENGI-
NEER for failure to report any such conflict, error, ambigu-
ity or discrepancy unless CONTRACTOR }mew or reason-
ably should have known thereof.
3.3.3. Except as otherwise specifically stated in the
Contract Documents or as may be provided by amendment
or supplement thereto issued by one of the methods
indicated in paragraph 3.5 or 3.6, the provisions of the
Contract Documents shall take precedence in resolving any
conflict, error, ambiguity or discrepancy between the
provisions of the Contract Documents and:
3.3.3.1. the provisions of any such standard, speci-
fication, manual, code or instruction (whether or not
specifically incorporated by reference in the Contract
Documents); or
3.3.3.2. the provisions of any such Laws or Regulations
applicable to the performance of the Work (unless such an
interpretation of the provisions of the Contract Documents
would result in violation of such Law or Regulation).
No provision of any such standard, specification, manual,
code or instruction shall be effective to change the duties and
responsibilities of OWNER, CONTRACTOR or ENGINEER,
or any of their subcontractors, consultants, agents, or em-
ployees from those set forth in the Contract Documents, nor
shall it be effective to assign to OWNER, ENGINEER or
any of ENGINEER's Consultants, agents or employees any
duty or authority to supervise or direct the furnishing or
performanceof the Work or any duty or authority to under-
take responsibility inconsistent with the provisions of para-
graph 9.13 or any other provision of the Contract Docu-
ments.
3.4. 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
17
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, in general, the completed Work for compliance
with the requirements of and information in the Contract
Documents and conformance with the design concept of the
completed Project as a functioning whole as shown or
indicated in 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 9.13 or any
other provision of the Contract Documents.
Amending and SupplementingContractDocuments:

shall identify any encumbrances or restrictions not of general
application but specifically related to use of lands so furnished
with which CONTRACTOR will have to comply in performing
the Work. Easements for permanent structures or permanent
changes in existing facilities will be obtained and paid for by
OWNER, unless otherwise provided in the Contract Docu-
ments. If CONTRACTOR and OWNER are unable to agree on
entitlement to or the amount or extent of any adjustments in the
Contract Price or the Contract Times as a result of any delay in
OWNER's furnishing these lands, rights-of-way or easements,
CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefor as provided in
Articles 11 and 12. CONTRACTOR shall provide for all
additional lands and access thereto that may be required for
temporary construction facilities or storage of materials and

conditions in or relating to existing surface or subsurface
structures at or contiguous to the site (except Underground
Facilities) that have been utilized by ENGINEER in preparing
the Contract Documents.
4.2.2. Limited Reliance by CONTRACTOR Authorized;
Technical Data: CONTRACTOR may rely upon the general
accuracy of the "technical data" contained in such reports and
drawings, but such reports and drawings are not Contract
Documents. Such "technical data" is identified in the Supple-
mentary Conditions. Except for such reliance on such "tech-
nical data," CONTRACTOR may not rely upon or make any
claim against OWNER, ENGINEER or any of ENGINEER's
Consultants with respect to:
4.2.2.1. the completeness of such reports and drawings
for CONTRACTOR'spurposes, including, but not limited
to, any aspects of the means, methods, techniques, se-
quences and procedures of construction to be employed by
CONTRACTOR and safety precautions and programs inci-
dent thereto, or
18
4.2.2.2. other data, interpretations,opinions and infor-
mation contained in such reports or shown or indicated in
such drawings, or
4.2.2.3. any CONTRACTOR interpretation of or conclu-
sion drawn from any "technical data' or any such data,
interpretations, opinions or information.
4.2.3. Notice of Differing Subsurface or Physical Condi-
dons: If CONTRACTORbelieves that any subsurface or
physical condition at or contiguous to the site that is
uncovered or revealed either:
4.2.3.1. is of such a nature as to establish that any
"technical data" on which CONTRACTOR is entitled to
rely as provided in paragraphs 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 is materially
inaccurate, or
4.2.3.2. is of such a nature as to require a change in
the Contract Documents, or
4.2.3.3. differs materially from that shown or indicated in
the Contract Documents, or
4.2.3.4. is of an unusual nature, and differs materially
from conditions ordinarily encountered and generally recog-
nized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the
Contract Documents; then
CONTRACTOR shall, promptly after becoming aware thereof
and before further disturbing conditions affected thereby or
performing any Work in connection therewith (except in an
emergency as permitted by paragraph 6.23), notify OWNER and
ENGINEER in writing about such condition. CONTRACTOR
shall not further disturb such conditions or perform any Work in
connection therewith (except as aforesaid) until re-
ceipt of written order to do so.
4.2.4. ENGINEER'sReview: ENGINEER will promptly
review the pertinent conditions, determine the necessity of
OWNER's obtainingadditional exploration or tests with re-
spect thereto and advise OWNER in writing (with a copy to
CONTRACTOR) of ENGINEER's findings and conclusions.
4.2.5. Possible ContractDocuments Change: If ENGI-
NEER concludes that a change in the Contract Documents is
required as a result of a condition that meets one or more of the
categories in paragraph 4.2.3., a Work Change Directive or
a Change Order will be issued as provided in Article 10 to
reflect and document the consequences of such change.
4.2.6. Possible Price and Times Adjustments: An equitable
adjustment in the Contract Price or in the Contract Times, or
both, will be allowed to the extent that the existence of such
uncovered or revealed condition causes an increase or de-
crease in CONTRACTOR' s cost of, or time required for
performance of, the Work; subject, however, to the following:
4.2.6.1. such condition must meet any one or more of the
categories described in paragraphs 4.2.3.1 through 4.2.3.4,
inclusive;
4.2.6.2. a change in the Contract Documents pursuant to
paragraph 4.2.5 will not be an automatic authorization of nor
a condition precedent to entitlement to any such adjustment;
4.2.6.3. with respect to Work that is paid for on a Unit
Price Basis, any adjustment in Contract Price will be subject
to the provisions of paragraphs 9.10 and 11.9; and
4.2.6.4. CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to any
adjustment in the Contract Price or Times if;
4.2.6.4.1. CONTRACTOR }mew of the existence of
such conditions at the time CONTRACTOR made a final
commitment to OWNER in respect of Contract Price and
Contract Times by the submission of a bid or becoming
bound under a negotiated contract; or
4.2.6.4.2. the existence of such condition could rea-
sonably have been discovered or revealed as a result of
any examination, investigation, exploration, test or study
of the site and contiguous areas required by the Bidding
Requirements or Contract Documents to be conducted by
or for CONTRACTOR prior to CONTRACTOR's making
such final commitment; or
4.2.6.4.3. CONTRACTOR failed to give the written
notice within the time and as required by paragraph 4.2.3.
If OWNER and CONTRACTOR are unable to agree on
entidement to or as to the amount or length of any such
equitable adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times,
a claim may be made therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12.
However, OWNER, ENGINEER and ENGINEER's
Consultants shall not be liable to CONTRACTOR for any
claims, costs, losses or damages sustained by CONTRACTOR
on or in connection with any other projector anticipatedproject.
4.3. Physical Conditions lities:
4.3.1. Shown or Indicated: The information and data shown

not shown or indicated in the Contract Documents, CON-
TRACTOR shall, promptly after becoming aware thereof and
before further disturbing conditions affected thereby or per-
forming any Work in connection therewith (except in an
emergency as required by paragraph 6.23), identify the owner of
such Underground Facility and give written notice to that owner
and to OWNER and ENGINEER. ENGINEER will promptly
review the Underground Facility and determine the extent, if
any, to which a change is required in the Contract Documents to
reflect and document the consequences of the existence of the
Underground Facility. If ENGINEER concludes that a change in
the Contract Documents is required, a Work Change Directive
or a Change Order will be issued as provided in Article 10 to
reflect and document such consequences. 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 Times, 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 that CONTRACTOR did not know of
and could not reasonably have been expected to be aware of or
to have anticipated. If OWNER and CONTRACTOR are unable
to agree on entitlement to or the amount or length of any such
adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times,
CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefor as provided in
Articles 11 and 12. However. OWNER, ENGINEER and
ENGINEER's Consultants shall not be liable to
CONTRACTOR for any claims, costs, losses or damages
incurred or sustained by CONTRACTOR on or in connection
with any other project or anticipated project.
Reference Points:

rary facilities and all other facilities and incidentals necessary
for the furnishing, performance, testing, start-up and comple-
tion of the Work.
6.4.1. Where the Work requires equipment be furnished, due
to the lack of standardization of equipment as produced by the
various manufacturers, it may become necessary to make minor
modifications in the structures. buildings. piping, mechanical
work, electrical work. accessories, controls, or other work, to
acconunodate the particular equipment offered.
CONTRACTOR's hid price for any equipment offered shall
include the cost of making any necessary changes subject to the
approval of ENGINEER
6.5. All materials and equipment shall be of good quality
and new, except as otherwise provided in the Contract Docu-
ments. All items of standard equipment shall be the latest model

24
6.7.1. Whenever an item of material or equipment is
specified or described in the Contract Documents by using
the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular
Supplier, the specificationor description is intended to
establish the type, function and quality required. Unless the
specificationor descriptioncontains or is followed by words
reading that no like, equivalent or "or- equal" item or no
substitution is permitted, other items of material or equip-
ment or material or equipment of other Suppliers may be
accepted by ENGINEER under the following circumstances:
6.7.1.1. "Or-Equal": If in ENGINEER's sole discre-
tion an item of material or equipment proposed by CON-
TRACTOR is functionally equal to that named and suffi-
ciently similar so that no change in related Work will be
required, it may be consideredby ENGINEER as an
"or- equal" item, in which case review and approval of the
proposed item may, in ENGINEER's sole discretion, be
accomplished withoutcompliance with some or all of the
requirements for acceptance of proposed substitute items.
6.7.1.2. Substituteltems: If in ENGINEER's sole
discretion an item of material or equipment proposed by
CONTRACTOR does not qualify as an "or- equal" item
under subparagraph6.7.1.1, it will be considered a pro-
posed substitute item. CONTRACTOR shall submit suffi-
cient information as provided below to allow ENGINEER
to determine that the item of material or equipment
proposed is essentially equivalent to that named and an
acceptable substitute therefor. The procedure for review
by the ENGINEER will include the following as supple-
mented in the General Requirements and as ENGINEER
may decide is appropriate under the circumstances. Re-
quests for review of proposed substitute items of material
or 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 first make written appli-
cation to ENGINEER 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 in substance to that specified and be
suited to the same use as that specified. The application
will state the extent, if any, to which the evaluation and
acceptance of the proposed substitute will prejudice CON -
TRACTOR'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
incorporationor 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 applicationand available
maintenance, repair and replacement service will be indi-
cated. The applieationwill also contain an itemized esti-
mate of all costs or credits 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 will be consideredby

ENGINEER in evaluating the proposed substitute. EN-
GINEER may require CONTRACTOR to furnish addi-
tional data about the proposed substitute.
6.7.1.3. CONTRACTOR'5Expense: All data to be
provided by CONTRACTOR in support of any proposed
"or- equal" or substitute item will be at CONTRACTOR's
expense.
6.7.2. Substitute Construction Methods or Procedures: If a
specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of
construction is shown or indicated in and expressly required by
the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR may furnish or
utilize a substitute means, method, technique, sequence or
procedure of construction acceptable to ENGINEER. CON-
TRACTOR shall submit sufficient information to allow ENGI-
NEER, in ENGINEER's sole discretion, to determine that the
substitute proposed is equivalent to that expressly called for by
the Contract Documents. The procedure for review by ENGI-
NEER will be similar to that provided in subparagraph 6.7.1.2.
6.7.3. Engineer's Evaluation: ENGINEER will be allowed
a reasonable time within which to evaluate each proposal or
submittal made pursuant to paragraphs 6.7.1.2 and 6.7.2.
ENGINEER will be the sole judge of acceptability. No "or-
equal" or 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 performance guarantee or
other surety with respect to any "or- equal" or substitute.
ENGINEER will record time required by ENGINEER and
ENGINEER's Consultants in evaluating substitutes proposed
or submitted by CONTRACTOR pursuant to paragraphs 6.7.1.2
and 6.7.2 and in making changes in the Contract Documents (or
in the provisions of any other direct contract with OWNER for
work on the Project) occasioned thereby. Whether or not
ENGINEER accepts a substitute item so proposed or submit-
ted by CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR shall reimburse
OWNER for the charges of ENGINEER and ENGINEER's
Consultants for evaluating each such proposed substitute item.
6.7.4. See Section01640.
Concerning Subcontractors, Suppliers and Others:
6.8.1. CONTRACTOR shall not employ any Subcon-
tractor, Supplier or other person or organization (including
those acceptable to OWNER and ENGINEER as indicated

able objection. CONTRACTOR shall not be required to
employ any Subcontractor, 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 iden-
tity of certain Subcontractors, Suppliers or other persons or
organizations (including those who are to furnish the princi-
pal items of materials or equipment) to be submitted to
OWNER in advance of the specified date prior to the
25
Effective Date of the Agreement for acceptance by OWNER
and ENGINEER, and if CONTRACTOR has submitted a
list thereof in accordance with the Supplementary Condi-
tions, OWNER'S or ENGINEER'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 so identified
may be revoked on the basis of reasonable objection after
due investigation, in which case CONTRACTOR shall sub-
mit an acceptable substitute, the Contract Price will be
adjusted 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.
6.9.1. CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible to
OWNER and ENGINEER for all acts and omissions of the
Subcontractors, Suppliers and other persons and organiza-
tions performing or furnishing any of the Work under a direct
or indirect contract with CONTRACTOR just as CON-
TRACTOR is responsible for CONTRACTOR' sown acts
and omissions. Nothing in the Contract Documents shall _
create for the benefit of any such Subcontractor, Supplier or
other person or organization any contractual relationship
between OWNER or ENGINEER and any such Subcon-
tractor, Supplier or other person or organization, nor shall it
create any obligation on the part of OWNER or ENGI-
NEER to pay or to see to the payment of any moneys due
any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organi-
zation except as may otherwise be required by Laws and
Regulations.
6.9.2. CONTRACTOR shall be solely responsible for
scheduling and coordinating the Work of Subcontractors,
Suppliers, and other persons and organizationsperformingor
furnishing any of the Work under a direct or indirect contract
with CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall require all Sub-
contractors, Suppliers and such other persons and organiza-
tions performing or furnishing any of the Work to communi-
cate with the ENGINEER through CONTRACTOR.
6.10. The divisions and sections of the Specifications and
the identification of any Drawings shall not control CON-
TRACTOR in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or
Suppliers or delineating the Work to be performed by any
specific trade.
6.11. All Work performed for CONTRACTOR by a Sub-
contractor or Supplier will be pursuant to an appropriate
agreement between CONTRACTOR and the Subcontractor or
Supplier which specifically binds the Subcontractor or Supplier
to the applicable terms and conditions of the Contract Docu-
ments for the benefit of OWNER and ENGINEER. Whenever
any such agreement is with a Subcontractor or Supplier who is
listed as an additional insured on the property insurance provided
in paragraph 5.6 or 5.7, the agreement between the
CONTRACTOR and the Subcontractor or Supplier will contain
provisions whereby the Subcontractor or Supplier waives all
rights against OWNER, CONTRACTOR, ENGINEER,
ENGINEER's Consultants and all other additional insureds for
all losses and damages caused by, arising out of or resulting
from any of the perils covered by such policies and any other
property insurance applicable to the Work. If the insurers on any

ENGINEER to review the submittal for the limited purposes
required by paragraph 6.26. The numbers of each Sample to be
submitted will be as specified in the Specifications.
6.24.3. If a Shop Drawing or Sample, as submitted, indicates a
variation from the Contract Requirements as set forth in the
Contract Documents and ENGINEER fads same to be in the
interest of OWNER and to be so minor as not to involve a
change in the Contract Price or time for performance
ENGINEER may approve the Shop Drawings or Samples;
provided however, such departure is slight in nature and does not
affect the design concept of the Work.
CONTRACTOR shall submit all Shop Drawings and Samples
sufficiently in advance of construction requirements to allow
ample time for checking, correcting, resubmitting and
rechecking and to avoid any delay in progress of the Work.
6.24.4. See Section 01340.

shall give ENGINEER specific written notice of such variations
if any, that the Shop Drawing or Sample submitted may have
from the requirements of the Contract Documents, such notice to
be in a written communication separate from the submittal; and,
in addition, shall cause a specific notation to be made on each
Shop Drawing and Sample submitted to ENGINEER for review
and approval of each such variation. variation: otherwise
CONTRACTOR will not be relieved of the responsibility of
executing the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents,
even though such Shop Drawings or Samples have been
otherwise reviewed.
6.25.4. Shop Drawings and Sample submittals not conforming
to requirements of this paragraph 6.25 and Section 01340 will be
returned to CONTRACTOR without action for resubmittal and

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 paragraph 6.25.3 and ENGINEER
has given written approval of each such variation by 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
complying with the requirements of paragraph 6.25.1.
6.27.1. ENGINEER's check and review of Shop Drawings
and Samples, specificathns and descriptive literantre submitted
by CONTRACTOR will be only for general conformance with

requirements:
6.27.1.2. relieving CONTRACTOR of the responsibility for
any error in details, dimensions or otherwise that may exist in
such submittals;
6.27.1.3. constituting a blanket approval of dimensions,
Quantities, or details of the material or equipment shown; or
6.27.1.4. approving departures from additional details or
instructions previously furnished by ENGINEER. Such check or
review shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of the full
responsibility of meeting all of the requirements of the Contract
Documents.
6.28. Where a Shop Drawing or Sample is required by the
Contract Documents or the schedule of Shop Drawings and
Sample submissions accepted by ENGINEER as required by
paragraph 2.9, any related Work performed prior to ENGI-

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 repre-
sentative 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 as ENGINEER
deems necessary in order to observe as an experienced and
qualified design professional the progress that has been made and
the quality of the various aspects of CONTRACTOR's executed
Work. Based on information obtained during such visits and
observations, ENGINEER will endeavor for the benefit of
31
OWNER 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
generally to the Contract Documents. On the basis of such visits
and on -site observations, ENGINEER will keep OWNER
informed of the progress of the Work and will endeavor to guard
OWNER against defective Work. ENGINEER's visits and
on -site observations are subject to all the limitations on
ENGINEER's authority and responsibility set forth in paragraph
9.13, and particularly, but without limitation, during or as a
result of ENGINEER's on -site visits or observations of
CONTRACTOR's Work, ENGINEER will not supervise,
direct, control or have authority over or be responsible for
CONTRACTOR's means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures of construction, or the safety precautions and
programs incident thereto, or for any failure of CONTRACTOR
to comply with Laws and Regulations applicable to the
furnishing or performance of the Work.
Project Representative:
9.3 If OWNER and ENGINEER agree, ENGINEER will
furnish a Resident Project Representative to assist
ENGINEER in providing more continuous observation of the
Work. The responsibilities and authority and limitations thereon
of any such Resident Project Representative and assistants will
be as provided in paragraph 9.13 and in the Supplementary
Conditions. If OWNER designates another representative or
agent to represent OWNER at the site who is not ENGINEER's
Consultant, agent or employee, the responsibilities and authority
and limitations thereon of such other person will be as provided
in the Supplementary Conditions.
9.3.1. ENGINEER's Resident Project Representative shall not
authorize any deviation from the Contract Documents or
substitutions of materials or equipment, unless authorized by
ENGINEER.
Clanfreationsand Interpretations:
9.4. ENGINEER will issue with reasonable promptness
written clarifications or interpretations of the require-
ments of the Contract Documents (in the form of Drawings or
otherwise) as ENGINEER may determine necessary, which
shall be consistent with the intent of and reasonably inferable
from Contract Documents. Such written clarifications and
interpretations will be binding on OWNER and
CONTRACTOR. If OWNER or CONTRACTOR believes that
a written clarification or interpretation justifies an adjustment in
the Contract Price or the Contract Times and the parties are
unable to agree to the amount or extent thereof, if any, OWNER
or CONTRACTOR may make a written claim therefor as pro-
vided 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 Times and are compatible with the design concept of
the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated by
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 OWNER or CONTRACTOR believes that a Field
Order justifies an adjustment in the Contract Price or the
Contract Times and the parties are unable to agree as to the
amount or extent thereof, OWNER or CONTRACTOR may
make a written 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, or
that ENGINEER believes will not produce a completed Project
that conforms to the Contract Documents or that will prejudice
the integrity of the design concept of the completed Project as a
functioning whole as indicated by the Contract Documents.
ENGINEER will also have authority to require special inspec-
tion or testing of the Work as provided in paragraph 13.9,
whether or not the Work is fabricated, installed or completed.

on the basis of Cost of the Work plus a fee and no fixed fee
is agreed upon, the intent of paragraphs 11.4.1,11.4.2,

site, and all applicable taxes; and
11.8.2. CONTRACTOR' s costs for unloading and han-
dling on the site, labor, installationcosts, overhead, profit
and other expenses contemplated for the allowances have

issued as recommended by ENGINEER to reflect actual amounts
due CONTRACTOR on account of Work covered by
allowances, and the Contract Price shall be correspondingly
adjusted.

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 classifica-
tions of Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR
will be made by ENGINEER in accordance with paragraph
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. Work described in the Contract
Documents but not identified in the listing of unit price items
shall be considered incidental to unit price work listed and the
cost of incidental work included as a part of the unit price.
11.9.3. OWNER or CONTRACTOR may stake a claim
for an adjustment in the Contract Price in accordance with
Article 11 if:
11.9.3.1. the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work
performed by CONTRACTOR differs materially and sig-
nificantly from the estimated quantity of such item indi-
cated in the Agreement; and
11.9.3.2. there is no corresponding adjustment with
respect to any other item of Work; and
11.9.3.3. if CONTRACTOR believes that CONTRAC-
TOR is entitled to an increase in Contract Price as a result
of having incurred additional expense or OWNER be-
lieves that OWNER is entitled to a decrease in Contract
Price and the parties are unable to agree as to the amount
of any such increase or decrease.
ARTICLE 12— CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME
12.1. The Contract Times (or Milestones) may only be
changed by a Change Order or a Written Amendment. Any
claim for an adjustment of the Contract Times (or Milestones)

or claimed delay adversely affects the critical path.
12.2. All time limits stated in -the Contract Documents are
of the essence of the Agreement.
12.3. Where CONTRACTOR is prevented from complet-

made therefor as provided in paragraph 12.1. Delays beyond
the control of CONTRACTOR shall include, but not be limited
to, acts or neglect by OWNER, acts or neglect of utility owners
or other contractors performing other work as contemplated by

the requirements of paragraph GC -12.3. and grant extensions to
the ContractTime for any reason OWNER deems valid.

with the average of the preceding 5 -year climatic range during
the same time interval based on U.S. Weather Bureau statistics
for the locality where the Work is performed.
12.4. Where CONTRACTOR is prevented from complet-
ing any part of the Work within the Contract Times (or
Milestones) due to delay beyond the control of both OWNER

Milestones) in an amount equal to the time lost due to such
delay shall be CONTRACTOR's sole and exclusive remedy for
such delay. In no event shall OWNER be liable to CONTRAC-
TOR, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other person or
37
organization, or to any surety for or employee or agent of any of
them, for damages arising out of or resulting from (i) delays
caused by or within the control of CONTRACTOR, or (ii)

sentative of such public body, CONTRACTOR shall assume
full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such inspections,
tests or approvals, pay all costs in connection therewith, and
furnish ENGINEER the required certificates of inspection, or
approval. CONTRACTOR shall also be responsible for arrang-
ing and obtaining and shall pay all costs in connection with any

13.6. If any Work (or the work of others) that is to be
inspected, tested or approved is covered by CONTRACTOR
without written concurrence of ENGINEER, it must, if re-
quested by ENGINEER, be uncovered for observation.
13.7. Uncovering Work as provided in paragraph 13.6 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.
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

or tested by others, CONTRACTOR, at ENGINEER's re-
quest, shall uncover, expose or otherwise make available for
observation, 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 pay all claims, costs, losses
and damages caused by, arising out of or resulting from such

case CONTRACTOR shall still be responsible for all costs
associated with exposing, observing. and testing the defective
Work. 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 Times (or Milestones), or
both, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure. ob-

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 surety or
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

pay all claims, costs, losses and damages caused by or resulting
from such correction or removal (including but not limited to all
costs of repair or replacement of work of others).
13.12. Correction Period:
13.12.1 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

found to be defective, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without
cost to OWNER and in accordance with OWNER's written
instructions: (i) correct such defective Work, or if it has been
rejected by OWNER, remove it from the site and replace it
with Work that is not defective, and (ii) satisfactorily correct or
remove and replace any damage to other Work or the work of
others resulting therefrom. 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 claims, costs,
losses and damages caused by or resulting from such re-
moval and replacement (including but not limited to all costs of
repair or replacement of work of others) will be paid by

tial 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.
13.12.3. Where defective Work (and damage to other
Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected, removed or
replaced under this paragraph 13.12, the correction period

13.13. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and
replacement of defective Work, OWNER (and, prior to ENGI-
NEER's recommendation of final payment, also ENGINEER)
prefers to accept it, OWNER may do so. CONTRACTOR shall
pay all claims, costs, losses and damages attributable to
OWNER's evaluation of and determination to accept such
defective Work (such costs to be approved by ENGINEER as
to reasonableness). 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 recommenda-
tion, 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 from ENGINEER to correct defective
Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by
ENGINEER in accordance with paragraph 13.11, or if CON-
TRACTOR 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 pro-
ceed expeditiously. In connection with such 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 employees, OWNER's other
contractors and ENGINEER and ENGINEER's Consultants
access to the site to enable OWNER to exercise the rights and
remedies under this paragraph. All claims, costs, losses and
damages incurred or sustained by OWNER in exercising such
rights and remedies will be charged against CONTRACTOR
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 claims costs, losses and damages
will include but not be limited to all costs of repair or
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 Times (or Milestones) because of any
delay in the performance of the Work amibutable to the exercise
by OWNER of OWNER's rights and remedies hereunder.

ARTICLE 14-- PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND
COMPLETION
Schedule of Values:
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 com-
pleted.
Application for Progress Payment:
14.2. At least twenty days before the date established for each
progress payment (but not more often than once a
month), CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for
review an Application for Payment filled out 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 equip-
ment 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 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.
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 indi-
cating in writing ENGINEER's reasons for refusing to recom-
mend payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may make
the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. Ten
days after presentation of the Application for Payment to
OWNER with ENGINEER's recommendation, the amount
recommended will (subject to the provisions 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 re-
quested in an Application for Payment will constitute a repre-
sentation by ENGINEER to OWNER, based on ENGINEER's
on -site observations of the executed Work as an experienced and
qualified design professional and on ENGINEER's review of the
Application for Payment and the accompanying data and
schedules, that to the best of ENGINEER's knowledge, infor-
mation and belief:
14.5.1. the Work has progressed to the point indicated,
14.5.2. the quality of the Work is generally in accor-
dance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evalu-
ation 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 quali-
fications stated in the recommendation), and
14.5.3. the conditions precedent to CONTRACTOR's
being entitled to such payment appear to have been
fulfilled in so far as it is ENGINEER's responsibility to
observe the Work.
However, by recommending any such payment ENGINEER will
not thereby be deemed to have represented that: (i)
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 (ii) that there may not be other matters or
issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRACTOR to
be paid additionally by OWNER or entitle OWNER to withhold
payment to CONTRACTOR.
14.6. ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment, in-
cluding final payment, shall not mean that ENGINEER is
responsible for CONTRACTOR's means, methods, techniques,
sequences or procedures of construction, or the safety precau-
tions and programs incident thereto, or for any failure of
CONTRACTOR to comply with Laws and Regulations appli-
cable to the furnishing or performance of Work, or for any
failure of CONTRACTOR to perform or furnish Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents.
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 the representations to OWNER referred to
in paragraph 14.5. ENGINEER may also refuse to recom-
mend any such payment, or, because of subsequently discov-
ered evidence or the results of subsequent 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 Writ-
ten Amendment or Change Order,
14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct defec-
tive Work or complete Work in accordance with paragraph
13.14, or
40
14.7.4. ENGINEER has actual knowledge of the oc-
currence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs
15.2.1 through 15.2.4 inclusive.
OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount
recommended by ENGINEER because:
14.7.5. claims have been made against OWNER on
account of CONTRACTOR' s performance or furnishing of
the Work,
14.7.6. Liens have been filed in connection with the Work,
except where CONTRACTOR has delivered a specific Bond
satisfactory to OWNER to secure the satisfaction and
discharge of such Liens,
14.7.7. there are other items entitling OWNER to a
set -off against the amount recommended, or
14.7.8. OWNER has actual knowledge of the occur-
rence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs
14.7.1 through 14.7.3 or paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.4
inclusive;
but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written
notice (with a copy to ENGINEER) stating the reasons for
such action and promptly pay CONTRACTOR the amount so
withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by OWNER and
CONTRACTOR, when CONTRACTOR corrects to OWN -
ER's satisfaction 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 sub-
stantially 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 Com-
pletion 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 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 and guarantees. Unless OWNER and
CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so inform
ENGINEER in writing 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 CONTRAC-
TOR 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 at OWNER's option of any sub-
stantially completed part of the Work which (i) has specifically
been identified in the Contract Documents, or (ii) OWNER,
ENGINEER and CONTRACTOR agree constitutes a sepa-
rately functioning and usable part of the Work that can be used
by OWNER for its intended purpose without significant inter-
ference with CONTRACTOR's performance of the remainder
of the Work, may be accomplished prior to Substantial Com-
pletion 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 that such part of the Work is
substantially complete, CONTRACTOR will certify to
OWNER and ENGINEER that such 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 substantially 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.
41
14.10.2. No occupancy or separate operation of part
of the Work will be accomplished prior to compliance with
the requirements of paragraph5.15 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, ENGI-
NEER will make a final inspection with OWNER and CON-
TRACTOR 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 complete such Work or
remedy such deficiencies.
Final Application for Payment:
14.12. After CONTRACTOR has completed all such cor-
rections to the satisfaction of ENGINEER and delivered in
accordance with the Contract Documents all maintenance and
operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, Bonds, certifi-
cates or other evidence of insurance required by paragraph 5.4,
certificates of inspection, marked -up record documents (as
provided in paragraph 6.19) and other documents, CONTRAC-
TOR may make application for fatal payment following the
procedure for progress payments. The final Application for
Payment shall be accompanied (except as previously delivered)
by: (i) all documentation called for in the Contract Documents,
including but not limited to the evidence of insurance required by
subparagraph 5.4.13, (ii) consent of the surety, if any, to final
payment, and (iii) complete and legally effective releases or
waivers (satisfactory to OWNER) of all Liens arising out of or
filed in connection with the Work. In lieu of such releases or
waivers of Liens and as approved by OWNER, CONTRAC-
TOR may furnish receipts or releases in full and an affidavit of
CONTRACTOR that: (i) the releases and receipts include all
labor, services, material and equipment for which a Lien could
be filed, and (ii) all payrolls, material and equipment bills and
other indebtedness connected with the Work from which
OWNER or OWNER's property might in any way be
responsible have been paid or otherwise satisfied. If any
Subcontractor or Supplier fails to furnish such 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 construction and final inspection, and ENGI-
NEER's review of the final Application for Payment and
accompanying documentation as required by the Contract
Documents, ENGINEER is satisfied that the Work has been and
completed and CONTRACTOR's other obligations under the
Contract Documents have been fulfilled, ENGINEER 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. At the same time ENGINEER will also give written
notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR that the Work is
acceptable subject to the provisions of paragraph 14.15.
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 the presentation to OWNER of the
Application and accompanying documentation, in appropriate
form and substance and with ENGINEER's recommendationand
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 com-
pletion 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 retainage stipulated in the Agreement, and if Bonds have
been furnished as required in paragraph 5.1, the written con-
sent 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 Appli-
cation 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.
Waiver of Claims:
14.15. The making and acceptance of final payment will
constitute:
14.15.1. a waiver of claims by OWNER against
CONTRACTOR, except claims arising from unsettled Liens,
from defective Work appearing after final inspectionpursu-
ant to paragraph 14.11, from failure to comply with the
Contract Documents or the terms of any special guarantees
specified therein, or from CONTRACTOR's continuing ob-
ligations under the Contract Documents; and
14.15.2. a waiver of all claims by CONTRACTOR
against OWNER and /or ENGINEER other than those
previously made in writing and still unsettled.
ARTICLE 15— SUSPENSION OF WORK AND
TERMINATION
OWNER May Suspend Work:
15.1. At any time and without cause, OWNER may sus-

earlier than 20 days after the CONTRACTOR and Surety have
received notice of conference to address CONTRACTOR:s
failure to perform the Work.
If CONTRACTOR'S services are terminated, Surety shall be
obligated to take over and perform the Work. If Surety does not
commence performance thereof within 15 consecutive calendar

completing the Work. such excess will be paid to
CONTRACTOR. If such claims, costs. losses and damages
exceed such unpaid balance, CONTRACTOR shall pay the
difference to OWNER. Such claims. costs, losses and damages
incurred by OWNER will be reviewed by ENGINEER as to
their reasonableness and when so approved by ENGINEER

guarantees movided for under the Contract Documents or any
other obligations otherwise prescribed by law.
15.3. Where CONTRACTOR's services have been so ter-
minated by OWNER, the termination will not affect any rights
or remedies of OWNER against CONTRACTOR then existing
or which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of
moneys 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 of OWNER, elect to

Pertinent Information to All Public Entities Using Prevailing Wage Rate Determinations
Produced by the General Services Commission
The public body awarding any contract for non - federally funded, public works construction projects
(regardless of size or dollar value) shall include in bid documents and contract documents a prevailing
wage rate determination of per diem wages for the locality in which the work is to be performed, for each
craft or type of workman or mechanic needed to execute the contract. The Prevailing Wage Rate
Determination is defined as (1) the Prevailing Wage Rate Determination Information letter (document
number WR1001), (2) the Prevailing Wage Rate Determination for Building Construction Trades, (3)
the Worker Classification Definition Sheet (document number WR1002), and (4) the Department of
Labor (DOL) Heavy Highway Determination. The DOL Heavy Highway rates are to be paid to workers
engaged in work determined to be five (5) feet beyond the building, extending to the property boundary.
$2. It shall be the responsibility of the contracting entity to ensure that the General Contractor posts the
applicable Prevailing Wage Rate Determination in a prominent, easily accessible place at the work site.
It shall be the responsibility of the contracting entity to ensure that not less than the posted, specified rates
are paid to all classifications of workmen, mechanics and laborers employed by the General Contractor
and/or Subcontractors in the execution of their contract with the contracting entity.
It shall be the responsibility of the contracting entity to take cognizance of wage rate disputes and/or
complaints of all violations of the provisions of Chapter 2258, Texas Government Code, Title 10.
Any General Contractor or Subcontractor who violates this section shall pay to the state or a political
subdivision of the state on whose behalf the contract is made, $60 for each worker employed for each
calendar day or part of the day that the worker is paid less than the wage rates stipulated in the contract.
A public body awarding a contract shall specify this penalty in the contract.
11 4. Some Prevailing Wage Rate Determinations for Building Construction Trades may indicate $0.00 in the
`Total Wage' column, rather than a dollar amount. In such cases, The General Services Commission did
not receive sufficient survey data for this worker classification, in the specified area, and can not provide a
1 prevailing wage rate for this classification. Where this occurs, General Contractors and Subcontractors
shall not be bound to a prevailing wage rate.,
1 5. Use of Prevailing Wage Rate Determinations are not necessary for maintenance work or for projects on
which the contracting entity's own personnel is performing the work. Maintenance work is defined as
regular and ongoing projects for which the contractor maintains the equipment or products over a specified
I period of time. An example of maintenance work would be a contract with a mechanical contractor to
replace filters, oil, coolants, valves, etc., on a regularly scheduled basis.

Chapter 2258, Texas Government Code Title 10 requires that state agencies
(including universities), cities, counties, independent school districts, and all other
political subdivisions that engage in public works construction projects produce and
include prevailing wage rate determinations in the project bid documents and in the
construction contract.
Pursuant to the requirements of this statute, the General Services Commission Wage
Rate Determination Program has ascertained the following wages are to be paid for the
various classifications of workers, in the locality of this project. Workers on this project
shall not be paid an amount less than the listed hourly rate for the various
classifications of work required by this project.
The Worker Classification Definition Sheet should help identify classifications for
workers involved in the project. Workers in classifications where rates are not
identified, or in classifications not found on the Worker Classification Definition Sheet
shall be paid a wage not Tess than the general prevailing wage rate of "laborer".
Building construction wage rates shall be paid to all workers, except those workers
engaged in site work and construction beyond five feet of buildings.
The hourly rate for legal holiday and overtime work shall be of an amount not less than
one and one -half (1 1/2) times the base hourly rate.
The rates specified are joumeyman rates. Apprentices may be used on the project and
may be compensated at a rate determined mutually by the worker and employer. This
rate shall be commensurate with the experience and skill of the worker, but at a rate of
not less than 60% of the journeyman's wage, as shown. At no time shall a journeyman
supervise more than one (1) apprentice. All apprentices shall be enrolled in a certified
program and shall be under the direct supervision of a journeyman, working as a crew.
Note: The terms journeyman and apprentice apply to both union and independent
workers, and are not intended to imply that these positions are union workers only.
Welders shall receive the rate prescribed for the craft performing the operation to which
the welding is incidental, as defined on the Worker Classification Definition Sheet.

"B" Action is resubmitted, it must be accompanied by a letter defining the
changes that have been made and the reason for the resubmittal. Destroy or
conspicuously mark "SUPERSEDED" all documents having previously
received "A" or `B" Action that are superseded by a resubmittal.
4. Transmittals with Action "A" or "B" combined with Action "C" (Revise and
Resubmit) or "D" (Rejected) will be individually analyzed giving consideration
as follows:
a. The portion of the transmittal given "C" or "D" will not be distributed
(unless previously agreed to otherwise at the Preconstruction Conference).
One copy or the one transparency of the "C" or "D" drawings will be
marked up and returned to the Contractor. Correct and resubmit items so
marked.
b. Items marked "A" or "B" will be fully distributed.
c. If a portion of the items or system proposed are acceptable, however, the
major part of the individual drawings or documents are incomplete or
require revision, the entire submittal may be given "C" or "D" Action. This
is at the sole discretion of the Engineer. In this case, some drawings may
contain relatively few or no comments or the statement, "Resubmit to
maintain a complete package." Distribution to the Owner and field will not
be made (unless previously agreed to otherwise).
5. Failure to include any specific information specified under the submittal
paragraphs of the specifications will result in the transmittal being returned to
the Contractor with "C" or "D" Action.
