viii-1
3. BIDDER'S RESPONSIBILITY

Each bidder shall familiarize himself with all of the attached forms, instructions,
general conditions, supplementary general conditions, bulletins, addenda,
specifications and drawings. He will be held responsible for full compliance with
all documents. In submitting proposals for this work, each bidder will be held
responsible for having previously examined the existing premises and satisfied
himself as to the conditions under which he will be obliged to operate in
performing his part of the work, or that will in any manner affect the work under
the contract.

4. CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

The drawings and these Specifications, whether taken separately or together, are
to be interpreted according to their full intent, meaning, and spirit, and shall be
deemed to explain mutually each other, and to be descriptive of the work to be
done under this contract. Should any discrepancy appear between the Specifi-
cations and the Drawings, such discrepancy shall be called to the attention of the
Architect for adjustment or decision prior to the submission of bids.

On the drawings, figured dimensions shall be taken in preference to scaled


dimensions, larger scale drawings shall be followed in preference to smaller
scale drawings, and descriptive indications in preference to the material code.
Should there be anything shown on the Drawings and not called for in the
Specifications, or vice versa, the same shall be carried out as if called for in
both. Should any error appear in the Drawings or Specifications, the error is to
be referred to the Architect for correction before the bids are submitted, or if not
discovered previously, then before the work is proceeded with. The Contractor
shall not make any alterations or corrections to the Contract Documents without
consulting the Architect beforehand.

5. SCHEDULE OF VALUES

Upon award of contract, the successful Contractor shall furnish the Architect with
a breakdown of costs or schedule of values, based upon mutual agreement
between the contractor and the Architect, concerning divisions of the work and
methods of payment.

6. AGREEMENT

The AIA Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor (AIA
Document A-201) shall be the form of agreement. This agreement and insurance
certificates shall be executed in triplicate. The contract will be assigned to the
Architect for enforcement and oversight.

7. GENERAL

The Owner agrees to include the interest of the successful bidders in a standard
fire and extended coverage insurance policy in accordance with "General
Conditions."

viii-2
The Contractor shall submit a list of all subcontractors and materials for approval
to the Architect and no contract shall be entered into with any subcontractor
before his name has been approved in writing. The Contractor shall submit
proper evidence of orders for material and these contracts shall be entered into
early to allow for such items for the work to be properly expedited and within the
time for completion of the job.

Where the terms "Each Contractor," "Each Prime Contractor," "Plumbing


Contractor," "Electrical Contractor," or "Heating and Ventilating Contractor"
appear throughout the Contract Documents, they shall be construed to mean and
be synonymous with the Individual Prime Bidder as referenced.

8. PAYMENT OF TAXES

The Contractor under this Contract will be responsible for payment of all
applicable taxes, including Pennsylvania State Sales Taxes, and shall include
allowance for such taxes in his proposal. No additional payment will be made to
cover taxes; all costs associated with payment of taxes shall be included in the
prices of the proposal.

9. CONSTRUCTION PERMITS

The Contractor Manager will obtain the building permit, plumbing permit,
electrical permit, sewer authority permit, water authority permit and any other
permits as required for the construction of the project. All costs relating to such
permits shall not be included in the proposal of each bidder.

10. PAYMENTS AND RETAINAGE

Payments shall be made on the basis of 90% of the approved monthly schedule
of work performed.

11. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR FAILURE TO ENTER INTO CONTRACT

The successful Bidder, upon his failure or refusal to execute and deliver the
Contract and bonds and furnish evidence of required insurance coverage within
fourteen (14) days after he has received notice of the acceptance of his proposal,
shall forfeit to the Owner, as liquidated damages for such failure or refusal, the
security deposited with his proposal.

12. TIME OF COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Failure of the Contractor to complete the work within the time allowed will result
in damages being sustained by the Borough. Unless otherwise provided in
Special Provisions, the Borough may deduct the sum of two-hundred dollars
($200.00) from monies due the contractor for each day of delay in finishing the
work in excess of the time specified for completion, plus any authorized time
extensions. Should the total amount of damages exceed the monies due the
contractor, then such excesses shall be paid to the Borough by the Contractor.

viii-3
Execution of the contract under these specifications shall constitute agreement
by the Borough and Contractor (1) that two-hundred dollars ($200.00) per day is
the minimum value of the costs and actual damage caused by failure of the
contractor to complete the work within the allotted time, (2) that such sum is liqui-
dated damages and shall not be construed as a penalty and (3) that liquidated
damages shall be compensation to the Borough for direct losses or increased
maintenance costs due to delay in completion only, and does not relieve the
Contractor of any other recoverable damages as the law may provide.

13. SIGNATURES

The bid proposal and subsequent contract shall be signed by a principal


or officer of the Company. Any other signature must be accompanied by
a Resolution from the Company authorizing the signature as legal and
binding.

14. CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS SCHEDULE

The Contractor shall, at the pre-construction meeting, submit to the Borough


Engineer, for his approval, a detailed construction schedule showing completion
of all work on or before the time allowed by the contract. The schedule shall be
in chart form of suitable scale to indicate the percentage of work scheduled for
completion at any time. The progress schedule is to serve as a guide to both the
Contractor and the Borough for the phasing of the project.

During construction, the construction schedule will be reviewed regularly by the


Borough Engineer to compare actual work complete with the amount of work
scheduled to be complete. If it is determined that the Contractor is behind
schedule, the Borough Engineer will request a revised schedule to show how the
remainder of the Project will be completed by the contract completion date. The
revised schedule shall be submitted by the Contractor within seven (7) days of
the Borough Engineer's request.

15. DEFECTIVE WORK

When any material not conforming to the requirements of the Specifications and
Drawings has been delivered upon the Site of the Project or incorporated in the
work, or when any work performed is of inferior quality, such material or work
shall be considered as defective and shall be immediately removed and renewed
or made satisfactory as required by the Engineer. Failure or neglect on the part
of the Engineer to condemn or reject any bad or inferior work or materials shall
not be so construed as to imply an acceptance of such work or materials, if such
bad or inferior materials or work becomes evident at any time prior to the delivery
of the final payment by the Owner to the Contractor; nor shall it be construed as
barring the Owner at any subsequent time from the recovery of damages in such
sum of money as may be needed to build anew all or portions of the work in
which fraud where practiced or improper materials hidden, whenever found.

The Contractor shall remove at his own expense any work or material
condemned, and shall rebuild and replace the same without extra charge, or in
case the Engineer should not consider the defect of sufficient importance to

viii-4
require the Contractor to rebuild or replace any imperfect work or material, he
shall have the power and is hereby authorized to make an equitable deduction
from the stipulated price.

The Contractor shall promptly move from the premises all materials condemned
by the Engineer as failing to conform to the Contract or Specifications, whether
incorporated in the structure or not, and the Contractor shall promptly replace his
own work in accordance with the Contract and without expense to the Owner,
and shall bear the expense of making good all work of other Contractors
destroyed or damaged by such removal or replacement. If the Contractor does
not remove such condemned work and materials within a reasonable time, fixed
by written notice from Owner or Engineer or if materials previously condemned
and removed from the Site of the work are subsequently found at the same or
other site of work, the Owner may remove them and may store the material at the
expense of the Contractor. If the Contractor does not pay the expenses of such
removal within ten (10) days thereafter, the Owner may, upon ten (10) days'
written notice, deduct all the costs and expenses of such removal from any
monies that may be due the Contractor.

If any material intended for use in the construction of this Project, has been
inspected and rejected after such material has been delivered to the site, all such
rejected material shall be immediately removed from the job site by the
contractor.

16. STORAGE & USE OF LANDS

Materials shall be stored so as to insure preservation of their specified quality


and fitness for the work. When considered necessary they shall be placed on
wooden platforms or other hard and clean surfaces, and not on the ground, and
shall be placed under cover when directed. Stored materials shall be located so
as to facilitate prompt inspection.

Private property shall not be used for construction or storage purposes without
written permission of the owner or lessee of the property. Should the Contractor
require additional area other than public rights-of-way, easements, etc. to
complete the project, it shall be his responsibility to obtain said written
permission.

17. EMPLOYEE DISCRIMINATION

The Contractor shall understand and agree to the following:

(a) That, in the hiring of employees for the performance of work


hereunder, no contractor, subcontractor, nor any person acting on behalf
of such contractor, nor any person acting on behalf of such contractor or

status, religion, ancestry, age, sex, national origin, the use of a guide or
support animals and/or mechanical aids, sexual orientation, gender
identity or expression, marital status, mental or physical disability, source

available to perform the work to which the employment relates;

viii-5
Covered employers shall comply with the provisions of the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990 with respect to removing barriers which
prevent qualified individuals with disabilities from enjoying the same
employment opportunities that are available to persons without
disabilities, including the requirement to consider whether reasonable
accommodations will remove a barrier to the employment of an individual
with disabilities.

The Contractor is responsible for and agrees to indemnify and hold


harmless the Borough of State College from all losses, damages,
expenses, claims, demands, suits, and actions brought by any party
against the Borough of State College as a result of the Contractor's failure
to comply with the above provisions.

(b) That no contractor, subcontractor, nor any person on his behalf, shall,
in any manner, discriminate against or intimidate any employee hired for
the performance of work on account of reason of actual or perceived
race, color, familial status, religion, ancestry, age, sex, national origin, the
use of a guide or support animals and/or mechanical aids, sexual
orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, mental or
physical disability, source of income, discriminate against any individual
who is qualified and available to perform the work to which the
employment relates;

(c) That there may be deducted, from the amount payable to the
contractor a penalty of five dollars ($5.00) for each person for each
calendar day during which such person was discriminated against or
intimidated in violation of these provisions, and

(d) That the contract may be canceled or terminated by the Borough and
all money due, or to become due hereunder may be forfeited for a second
or any subsequent violation of the terms or conditions of this portion of
the contract.

(e) Notwithstanding the above provisions, the parties hereto agree to be


bound by and comply with all the existing statutory requirements
pertaining to Borough contracts and when the existing statutory
requirements are at variance with the above provisions, the statutory
requirements shall prevail the same as though incorporated herein.

18. PROPERTY DAMAGE

abutting public and private property and shall be held responsible for all damage
done to existing pavement, manholes, inlets, curbs, sidewalks, trees, shrubs and
private lawn or any other public or private property. The Contractor shall rectify,
at his own expense, any damage or injury to public or private property, whether

ARTICLE 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS
§ 1.1 BASIC DEFINITIONS
§ 1.1.1 THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
The Contract Documents consist of the Agreement between Owner and Contractor (hereinafter the Agreement),
Conditions of the Contract (General, Supplementary and other Conditions), Drawings, Specifications, Addenda
issued prior to execution of the Contract, other documents listed in the Agreement and Modifications issued after
execution of the Contract. A Modification is (1) a written amendment to the Contract signed by both parties, (2) a
Change Order, (3) a Construction Change Directive or (4) a written order for a minor change in the Work issued by
the Architect. Unless specifically enumerated in the Agreement, the Contract Documents do not include other
documents such as bidding requirements (advertisement or invitation to bid, Instructions to Bidders, sample forms,
the Contractor's bid or portions of Addenda relating to bidding requirements).

§ 1.1.2 THE CONTRACT


The Contract Documents form the Contract for Construction. The Contract represents the entire and integrated
agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes prior negotiations, representations or agreements, either written
or oral. The Contract may be amended or modified only by a Modification. The Contract Documents shall not be
construed to create a contractual relationship of any kind (1) between the Architect and Contractor, (2) between the
Owner and a Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor, (3) between the Owner and Architect or (4) between any persons
or entities other than the Owner and Contractor. The Architect shall, however, be entitled to performance and
enforcement of obligations under the Contract intended to facilitate performance of the Architect's duties.

§ 1.1.3 THE WORK


The term "Work" means the construction and services required by the Contract Documents, whether completed or
partially completed, and includes all other labor, materials, equipment and services provided or to be provided by
the Contractor to fulfill the Contractor's obligations. The Work may constitute the whole or a part of the Project.

§ 1.1.4 THE PROJECT


The Project is the total construction of which the Work performed under the Contract Documents may be the whole
or a part and which may include construction by the Owner or by separate contractors.

§ 1.1.5 THE DRAWINGS


The Drawings are the graphic and pictorial portions of the Contract Documents showing the design, location and
dimensions of the Work, generally including plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules and diagrams.

§ 1.1.6 THE SPECIFICATIONS


The Specifications are that portion of the Contract Documents consisting of the written requirements for materials,
equipment, systems, standards and workmanship for the Work, and performance of related services.

§ 1.1.7 THE PROJECT MANUAL


The Project Manual is a volume assembled for the Work which may include the bidding requirements, sample
forms, Conditions of the Contract and Specifications.

§ 1.2 CORRELATION AND INTENT OF THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS


§ 1.2.1 The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items necessary for the proper execution and
completion of the Work by the Contractor. The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is required by
one shall be as binding as if required by all; performance by the Contractor shall be required only to the extent
consistent with the Contract Documents and reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce the
indicated results.

§ 1.2.2 Organization of the Specifications into divisions, sections and articles, and arrangement of Drawings shall not
control the Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of Work to be
performed by any trade.

§ 1.2.3 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, words which have well-known technical or construction
industry meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings.
§ 1.3 CAPITALIZATION
§ 1.3.1 Terms capitalized in these General Conditions include those which are (1) specifically defined, (2) the titles
of numbered articles or (3) the titles of other documents published by the American Institute of Architects.

§ 1.4 INTERPRETATION
§ 1.4.1 In the interest of brevity the Contract Documents frequently omit modifying words such as "all" and "any"
and articles such as "the" and "an," but the fact that a modifier or an article is absent from one statement and appears
in another is not intended to affect the interpretation of either statement.

§ 1.5 EXECUTION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS


§ 1.5.1 The Contract Documents shall be signed by the Owner and Contractor. If either the Owner or Contractor or
both do not sign all the Contract Documents, the Architect shall identify such unsigned Documents upon request.

§ 1.5.2 Execution of the Contract by the Contractor is a representation that the Contractor has visited the site,
become generally familiar with local conditions under which the Work is to be performed and correlated personal
observations with requirements of the Contract Documents.

§ 1.6 OWNERSHIP AND USE OF DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS OF SERVICE
§ 1.6.1 The Drawings, Specifications and other documents, including those in electronic form, prepared by the
Architect and the Architect's consultants are Instruments of Service through which the Work to be executed by the
Contractor is described. The Contractor may retain one record set. Neither the Contractor nor any Subcontractor,
Sub-subcontractor or material or equipment supplier shall own or claim a copyright in the Drawings, Specifications
and other documents prepared by the Architect or the Architect's consultants, and unless otherwise indicated the
Architect and the Architect's consultants shall be deemed the authors of them and will retain all common law,
statutory and other reserved rights, in addition to the copyrights. All copies of Instruments of Service, except the
Contractor's record set, shall be returned or suitably accounted for to the Architect, on request, upon completion of
the Work. The Drawings, Specifications and other documents prepared by the Architect and the Architect's
consultants, and copies thereof furnished to the Contractor, are for use solely with respect to this Project. They are
not to be used by the Contractor or any Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor or material or equipment supplier on other
projects or for additions to this Project outside the scope of the Work without the specific written consent of the
Owner, Architect and the Architect's consultants. The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors and material
or equipment suppliers are authorized to use and reproduce applicable portions of the Drawings, Specifications and
other documents prepared by the Architect and the Architect's consultants appropriate to and for use in the execution
of their Work under the Contract Documents. All copies made under this authorization shall bear the statutory
copyright notice, if any, shown on the Drawings, Specifications and other documents prepared by the Architect and
the Architect's consultants. Submittal or distribution to meet official regulatory requirements or for other purposes in
connection with this Project is not to be construed as publication in derogation of the Architect's or Architect's
consultants' copyrights or other reserved rights.

ARTICLE 2 OWNER
§ 2.1 GENERAL
§ 2.1.1 The Owner is the person or entity identified as such in the Agreement and is referred to throughout the
Contract Documents as if singular in number. The Owner shall designate in writing a representative who shall have
express authority to bind the Owner with respect to all matters requiring the Owner's approval or authorization.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2.1, the Architect does not have such authority. The term "Owner" means
the Owner or the Owner's authorized representative.

§ 2.1.2 The Owner shall furnish to the Contractor within fifteen days after receipt of a written request, information
necessary and relevant for the Contractor to evaluate, give notice of or enforce mechanic's lien rights. Such
information shall include a correct statement of the record legal title to the property on which the Project is located,
usually referred to as the site, and the Owner's interest therein.

§ 2.2 INFORMATION AND SERVICES REQUIRED OF THE OWNER


§ 2.2.1 The Owner shall, at the written request of the Contractor, prior to commencement of the Work and thereafter,
furnish to the Contractor reasonable evidence that financial arrangements have been made to fulfill the Owner's
obligations under the Contract. Furnishing of such evidence shall be a condition precedent to commencement or
continuation of the Work. After such evidence has been furnished, the Owner shall not materially vary such
financial arrangements without prior notice to the Contractor.

§ 2.2.2 Except for permits and fees, including those required under Section 3.7.1, which are the responsibility of the
Contractor under the Contract Documents, the Owner shall secure and pay for necessary approvals, easements,
assessments and charges required for construction, use or occupancy of permanent structures or for permanent
changes in existing facilities.

§ 2.2.3 The Owner shall furnish surveys describing physical characteristics, legal limitations and utility locations for
the site of the Project, and a legal description of the site. The Contractor shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of
information furnished by the Owner but shall exercise proper precautions relating to the safe performance of the
Work.

§ 2.2.4 Information or services required of the Owner by the Contract Documents shall be furnished by the Owner
with reasonable promptness. Any other information or services relevant to the Contractor's performance of the Work
under the Owner's control shall be furnished by the Owner after receipt from the Contractor of a written request for
such information or services.

§ 2.2.5 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor will be furnished, free of charge, such
copies of Drawings and Project Manuals as are reasonably necessary for execution of the Work.

§ 2.3 OWNER'S RIGHT TO STOP THE WORK


§ 2.3.1 If the Contractor fails to correct Work which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract
Documents as required by Section 12.2 or persistently fails to carry out Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents, the Owner may issue a written order to the Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the
cause for such order has been eliminated; however, the right of the Owner to stop the Work shall not give rise to a
duty on the part of the Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of the Contractor or any other person or entity,
except to the extent required by Section 6.1.3.

§ 2.4 OWNER'S RIGHT TO CARRY OUT THE WORK


§ 2.4.1 If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents and
fails within a seven-day period after receipt of written notice from the Owner to commence and continue correction
of such default or neglect with diligence and promptness, the Owner may after such seven-day period give the
Contractor a second written notice to correct such deficiencies within a three-day period. If the Contractor within
such three-day period after receipt of such second notice fails to commence and continue to correct any deficiencies,
the Owner may, without prejudice to other remedies the Owner may have, correct such deficiencies. In such case an
appropriate Change Order shall be issued deducting from payments then or thereafter due the Contractor the
reasonable cost of correcting such deficiencies, including Owner's expenses and compensation for the Architect's
additional services made necessary by such default, neglect or failure. Such action by the Owner and amounts
charged to the Contractor are both subject to prior approval of the Architect. If payments then or thereafter due the
Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amounts, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.

ARTICLE 3 CONTRACTOR
§ 3.1 GENERAL
§ 3.1.1 The Contractor is the person or entity identified as such in the Agreement and is referred to throughout the
Contract Documents as if singular in number. The term "Contractor" means the Contractor or the Contractor's
authorized representative.

§ 3.1.2 The Contractor shall perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

§ 3.1.3 The Contractor shall not be relieved of obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents either by activities or duties of the Architect in the Architect's administration of the Contract, or by tests,
inspections or approvals required or performed by persons other than the Contractor.
§ 3.2 REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND FIELD CONDITIONS BY CONTRACTOR
§ 3.2.1 Since the Contract Documents are complementary, before starting each portion of the Work, the Contractor
shall carefully study and compare the various Drawings and other Contract Documents relative to that portion of the
Work, as well as the information furnished by the Owner pursuant to Section 2.2.3, shall take field measurements of
any existing conditions related to that portion of the Work and shall observe any conditions at the site affecting it.
These obligations are for the purpose of facilitating construction by the Contractor and are not for the purpose of
discovering errors, omissions, or inconsistencies in the Contract Documents; however, any errors, inconsistencies or
omissions discovered by the Contractor shall be reported promptly to the Architect as a request for information in
such form as the Architect may require.

§ 3.2.2 Any design errors or omissions noted by the Contractor during this review shall be reported promptly to the
Architect, but it is recognized that the Contractor's review is made in the Contractor's capacity as a contractor and
not as a licensed design professional unless otherwise specifically provided in the Contract Documents. The
Contractor is not required to ascertain that the Contract Documents are in accordance with applicable laws, statutes,
ordinances, building codes, and rules and regulations, but any nonconformity discovered by or made known to the
Contractor shall be reported promptly to the Architect.

§ 3.2.3 If the Contractor believes that additional cost or time is involved because of clarifications or instructions
issued by the Architect in response to the Contractor's notices or requests for information pursuant to Sections 3.2.1
and 3.2.2, the Contractor shall make Claims as provided in Sections 4.3.6 and 4.3.7. If the Contractor fails to
perform the obligations of Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2, the Contractor shall pay such costs and damages to the Owner as
would have been avoided if the Contractor had performed such obligations. The Contractor shall not be liable to the
Owner or Architect for damages resulting from errors, inconsistencies or omissions in the Contract Documents or
for differences between field measurements or conditions and the Contract Documents unless the Contractor
recognized such error, inconsistency, omission or difference and knowingly failed to report it to the Architect.

§ 3.3 SUPERVISION AND CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES


§ 3.3.1 The Contractor shall supervise and direct the Work, using the Contractor's best skill and attention. The
Contractor shall be solely responsible for and have control over construction means, methods, techniques, sequences
and procedures and for coordinating all portions of the Work under the Contract, unless the Contract Documents
give other specific instructions concerning these matters. If the Contract Documents give specific instructions
concerning construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, the Contractor shall evaluate the
jobsite safety thereof and, except as stated below, shall be fully and solely responsible for the jobsite safety of such
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. If the Contractor determines that such means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures may not be safe, the Contractor shall give timely written notice to the Owner
and Architect and shall not proceed with that portion of the Work without further written instructions from the
Architect. If the Contractor is then instructed to proceed with the required means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures without acceptance of changes proposed by the Contractor, the Owner shall be solely responsible for any
resulting loss or damage.

§ 3.3.2 The Contractor shall be responsible to the Owner for acts and omissions of the Contractor's employees,
Subcontractors and their agents and employees, and other persons or entities performing portions of the Work for or
on behalf of the Contractor or any of its Subcontractors.

§ 3.3.3 The Contractor shall be responsible for inspection of portions of Work already performed to determine that
such portions are in proper condition to receive subsequent Work.

§ 3.4 LABOR AND MATERIALS


§ 3.4.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall provide and pay for labor,
materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery, water, heat, utilities, transportation, and other
facilities and services necessary for proper execution and completion of the Work, whether temporary or permanent
and whether or not incorporated or to be incorporated in the Work.

§ 3.4.2 The Contractor may make substitutions only with the consent of the Owner, after evaluation by the Architect
and in accordance with a Change Order.
§ 3.4.3 The Contractor shall enforce strict discipline and good order among the Contractor's employees and other
persons carrying out the Contract. The Contractor shall not permit employment of unfit persons or persons not
skilled in tasks assigned to them.

§ 3.5 WARRANTY
§ 3.5.1 The Contractor warrants to the Owner and Architect that materials and equipment furnished under the
Contract will be of good quality and new unless otherwise required or permitted by the Contract Documents, that the
Work will be free from defects not inherent in the quality required or permitted, and that the Work will conform to
the requirements of the Contract Documents. Work not conforming to these requirements, including substitutions
not properly approved and authorized, may be considered defective. The Contractor's warranty excludes remedy for
damage or defect caused by abuse, modifications not executed by the Contractor, improper or insufficient
maintenance, improper operation, or normal wear and tear and normal usage. If required by the Architect, the
Contractor shall furnish satisfactory evidence as to the kind and quality of materials and equipment.

§ 3.6 TAXES
§ 3.6.1 The Contractor shall pay sales, consumer, use and similar taxes for the Work provided by the Contractor
which are legally enacted when bids are received or negotiations concluded, whether or not yet effective or merely
scheduled to go into effect.

§ 3.7 PERMITS, FEES AND NOTICES


§ 3.7.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall secure and pay for the building
permit and other permits and governmental fees, licenses and inspections necessary for proper execution and
completion of the Work which are customarily secured after execution of the Contract and which are legally
required when bids are received or negotiations concluded.

§ 3.7.2 The Contractor shall comply with and give notices required by laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and lawful
orders of public authorities applicable to performance of the Work.

§ 3.7.3 It is not the Contractor's responsibility to ascertain that the Contract Documents are in accordance with
applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, and rules and regulations. However, if the Contractor observes
that portions of the Contract Documents are at variance therewith, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Architect
and Owner in writing, and necessary changes shall be accomplished by appropriate Modification.

§ 3.7.4 If the Contractor performs Work knowing it to be contrary to laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, and
rules and regulations without such notice to the Architect and Owner, the Contractor shall assume appropriate
responsibility for such Work and shall bear the costs attributable to correction.

§ 3.8 ALLOWANCES
§ 3.8.1 The Contractor shall include in the Contract Sum all allowances stated in the Contract Documents. Items
covered by allowances shall be supplied for such amounts and by such persons or entities as the Owner may direct,
but the Contractor shall not be required to employ persons or entities to whom the Contractor has reasonable
objection.

§ 3.8.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents:


.1 allowances shall cover the cost to the Contractor of materials and equipment delivered at the site and
all required taxes, less applicable trade discounts;
.2 Contractor's costs for unloading and handling at the site, labor, installation costs, overhead, profit and
other expenses contemplated for stated allowance amounts shall be included in the Contract Sum but
not in the allowances;
.3 whenever costs are more than or less than allowances, the Contract Sum shall be adjusted accordingly
by Change Order. The amount of the Change Order shall reflect (1) the difference between actual
costs and the allowances under Section 3.8.2.1 and (2) changes in Contractor's costs under Section
3.8.2.2.

§ 3.8.3 Materials and equipment under an allowance shall be selected by the Owner in sufficient time to avoid delay
in the Work.
§ 3.9 SUPERINTENDENT
§ 3.9.1 The Contractor shall employ a competent superintendent and necessary assistants who shall be in attendance
at the Project site during performance of the Work. The superintendent shall represent the Contractor, and
communications given to the superintendent shall be as binding as if given to the Contractor. Important
communications shall be confirmed in writing. Other communications shall be similarly confirmed on written
request in each case.

§ 3.10 CONTRACTOR'S CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES


§ 3.10.1 The Contractor, promptly after being awarded the Contract, shall prepare and submit for the Owner's and
Architect's information a Contractor's construction schedule for the Work. The schedule shall not exceed time limits
current under the Contract Documents, shall be revised at appropriate intervals as required by the conditions of the
Work and Project, shall be related to the entire Project to the extent required by the Contract Documents, and shall
provide for expeditious and practicable execution of the Work.

§ 3.10.2 The Contractor shall prepare and keep current, for the Architect's approval, a schedule of submittals which is
coordinated with the Contractor's construction schedule and allows the Architect reasonable time to review
submittals.

§ 3.10.3 The Contractor shall perform the Work in general accordance with the most recent schedules submitted to
the Owner and Architect.

§ 3.11 DOCUMENTS AND SAMPLES AT THE SITE


§ 3.11.1 The Contractor shall maintain at the site for the Owner one record copy of the Drawings, Specifications,
Addenda, Change Orders and other Modifications, in good order and marked currently to record field changes and
selections made during construction, and one record copy of approved Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and
similar required submittals. These shall be available to the Architect and shall be delivered to the Architect for
submittal to the Owner upon completion of the Work.

§ 3.12 SHOP DRAWINGS, PRODUCT DATA AND SAMPLES


§ 3.12.1 Shop Drawings are drawings, diagrams, schedules and other data specially prepared for the Work by the
Contractor or a Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor, manufacturer, supplier or distributor to illustrate some portion of
the Work.

§ 3.12.2 Product Data are illustrations, standard schedules, performance charts, instructions, brochures, diagrams and
other information furnished by the Contractor to illustrate materials or equipment for some portion of the Work.

§ 3.12.3 Samples are physical examples which illustrate materials, equipment or workmanship and establish
standards by which the Work will be judged.

§ 3.12.4 Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals are not Contract Documents. The purpose of
their submittal is to demonstrate for those portions of the Work for which submittals are required by the Contract
Documents the way by which the Contractor proposes to conform to the information given and the design concept
expressed in the Contract Documents. Review by the Architect is subject to the limitations of Section 4.2.7.
Informational submittals upon which the Architect is not expected to take responsive action may be so identified in
the Contract Documents. Submittals which are not required by the Contract Documents may be returned by the
Architect without action.

§ 3.12.5 The Contractor shall review for compliance with the Contract Documents, approve and submit to the
Architect Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals required by the Contract Documents with
reasonable promptness and in such sequence as to cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of the Owner or of
separate contractors. Submittals which are not marked as reviewed for compliance with the Contract Documents and
approved by the Contractor may be returned by the Architect without action.

§ 3.12.6 By approving and submitting Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals, the Contractor
represents that the Contractor has determined and verified materials, field measurements and field construction
criteria related thereto, or will do so, and has checked and coordinated the information contained within such
submittals with the requirements of the Work and of the Contract Documents.

§ 3.12.7 The Contractor shall perform no portion of the Work for which the Contract Documents require submittal
and review of Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals until the respective submittal has been
approved by the Architect.

§ 3.12.8 The Work shall be in accordance with approved submittals except that the Contractor shall not be relieved of
responsibility for deviations from requirements of the Contract Documents by the Architect's approval of Shop
Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals unless the Contractor has specifically informed the Architect
in writing of such deviation at the time of submittal and (1) the Architect has given written approval to the specific
deviation as a minor change in the Work, or (2) a Change Order or Construction Change Directive has been issued
authorizing the deviation. The Contractor shall not be relieved of responsibility for errors or omissions in Shop
Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals by the Architect's approval thereof.

§ 3.12.9 The Contractor shall direct specific attention, in writing or on resubmitted Shop Drawings, Product Data,
Samples or similar submittals, to revisions other than those requested by the Architect on previous submittals. In the
absence of such written notice the Architect's approval of a resubmission shall not apply to such revisions.

§ 3.12.10 The Contractor shall not be required to provide professional services which constitute the practice of
architecture or engineering unless such services are specifically required by the Contract Documents for a portion of
the Work or unless the Contractor needs to provide such services in order to carry out the Contractor's
responsibilities for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures. The Contractor shall not be
required to provide professional services in violation of applicable law. If professional design services or
certifications by a design professional related to systems, materials or equipment are specifically required of the
Contractor by the Contract Documents, the Owner and the Architect will specify all performance and design criteria
that such services must satisfy. The Contractor shall cause such services or certifications to be provided by a
properly licensed design professional, whose signature and seal shall appear on all drawings, calculations,
specifications, certifications, Shop Drawings and other submittals prepared by such professional. Shop Drawings
and other submittals related to the Work designed or certified by such professional, if prepared by others, shall bear
such professional's written approval when submitted to the Architect. The Owner and the Architect shall be entitled
to rely upon the adequacy, accuracy and completeness of the services, certifications or approvals performed by such
design professionals, provided the Owner and Architect have specified to the Contractor all performance and design
criteria that such services must satisfy. Pursuant to this Section 3.12.10, the Architect will review, approve or take
other appropriate action on submittals only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with information
given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall not be responsible for the
adequacy of the performance or design criteria required by the Contract Documents.

§ 3.13 USE OF SITE


§ 3.13.1 The Contractor shall confine operations at the site to areas permitted by law, ordinances, permits and the
Contract Documents and shall not unreasonably encumber the site with materials or equipment.

§ 3.14 CUTTING AND PATCHING


§ 3.14.1 The Contractor shall be responsible for cutting, fitting or patching required to complete the Work or to make
its parts fit together properly.

§ 3.14.2 The Contractor shall not damage or endanger a portion of the Work or fully or partially completed
construction of the Owner or separate contractors by cutting, patching or otherwise altering such construction, or by
excavation. The Contractor shall not cut or otherwise alter such construction by the Owner or a separate contractor
except with written consent of the Owner and of such separate contractor; such consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Contractor shall not unreasonably withhold from the Owner or a separate contractor the Contractor's
consent to cutting or otherwise altering the Work.

§ 3.15 CLEANING UP
§ 3.15.1 The Contractor shall keep the premises and surrounding area free from accumulation of waste materials or
rubbish caused by operations under the Contract. At completion of the Work, the Contractor shall remove from and
about the Project waste materials, rubbish, the Contractor's tools, construction equipment, machinery and surplus
materials.

§ 3.15.2 If the Contractor fails to clean up as provided in the Contract Documents, the Owner may do so and the cost
thereof shall be charged to the Contractor.

§ 3.16 ACCESS TO WORK


§ 3.16.1 The Contractor shall provide the Owner and Architect access to the Work in preparation and progress
wherever located.

§ 3.17 ROYALTIES, PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS


§ 3.17.1 The Contractor shall pay all royalties and license fees. The Contractor shall defend suits or claims for
infringement of copyrights and patent rights and shall hold the Owner and Architect harmless from loss on account
thereof, but shall not be responsible for such defense or loss when a particular design, process or product of a
particular manufacturer or manufacturers is required by the Contract Documents or where the copyright violations
are contained in Drawings, Specifications or other documents prepared by the Owner or Architect. However, if the
Contractor has reason to believe that the required design, process or product is an infringement of a copyright or a
patent, the Contractor shall be responsible for such loss unless such information is promptly furnished to the
Architect.

§ 3.18 INDEMNIFICATION
§ 3.18.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law and to the extent claims, damages, losses or expenses are not covered
by Project Management Protective Liability insurance purchased by the Contractor in accordance with Section 11.3,
the Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Owner, Architect, Architect's consultants, and agents and
employees of any of them from and against claims, damages, losses and expenses, including but not limited to
attorneys' fees, arising out of or resulting from performance of the Work, provided that such claim, damage, loss or
expense is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death, or to injury to or destruction of tangible property
(other than the Work itself), but only to the extent caused by the negligent acts or omissions of the Contractor, a
Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose acts they may be liable,
regardless of whether or not such claim, damage, loss or expense is caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder.
Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of indemnity which
would otherwise exist as to a party or person described in this Section 3.18.

§ 3.18.2 In claims against any person or entity indemnified under this Section 3.18 by an employee of the Contractor,
a Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose acts they may be liable, the
indemnification obligation under Section 3.18.1 shall not be limited by a limitation on amount or type of damages,
compensation or benefits payable by or for the Contractor or a Subcontractor under workers' compensation acts,
disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts.

ARTICLE 4 ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACT


§ 4.1 ARCHITECT
§ 4.1.1 The Architect is the person lawfully licensed to practice architecture or an entity lawfully practicing
architecture identified as such in the Agreement and is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular
in number. The term "Architect" means the Architect or the Architect's authorized representative.

§ 4.1.2 Duties, responsibilities and limitations of authority of the Architect as set forth in the Contract Documents
shall not be restricted, modified or extended without written consent of the Owner, Contractor and Architect.
Consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

§ 4.1.3 If the employment of the Architect is terminated, the Owner shall employ a new Architect against whom the
Contractor has no reasonable objection and whose status under the Contract Documents shall be that of the former
Architect.

§ 4.2 ARCHITECT'S ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACT


§ 4.2.1 The Architect will provide administration of the Contract as described in the Contract Documents, and will be
an Owner's representative (1) during construction, (2) until final payment is due and (3) with the Owner's
concurrence, from time to time during the one-year period for correction of Work described in Section 12.2. The
Architect will have authority to act on behalf of the Owner only to the extent provided in the Contract Documents,
unless otherwise modified in writing in accordance with other provisions of the Contract.

§ 4.2.2 The Architect, as a representative of the Owner, will visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of the
Contractor's operations (1) to become generally familiar with and to keep the Owner informed about the progress
and quality of the portion of the Work completed, (2) to endeavor to guard the Owner against defects and
deficiencies in the Work, and (3) to determine in general if the Work is being performed in a manner indicating that
the Work, when fully completed, will be in accordance with the Contract Documents. However, the Architect will
not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work.
The Architect will neither have control over or charge of, nor be responsible for, the construction means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures, or for the safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work, since
these are solely the Contractor's rights and responsibilities under the Contract Documents, except as provided in
Section 3.3.1.

§ 4.2.3 The Architect will not be responsible for the Contractor's failure to perform the Work in accordance with the
requirements of the Contract Documents. The Architect will not have control over or charge of and will not be
responsible for acts or omissions of the Contractor, Subcontractors, or their agents or employees, or any other
persons or entities performing portions of the Work.

§ 4.2.4 Communications Facilitating Contract Administration. Except as otherwise provided in the Contract
Documents or when direct communications have been specially authorized, the Owner and Contractor shall
endeavor to communicate with each other through the Architect about matters arising out of or relating to the
Contract. Communications by and with the Architect's consultants shall be through the Architect. Communications
by and with Subcontractors and material suppliers shall be through the Contractor. Communications by and with
separate contractors shall be through the Owner.

§ 4.2.5 Based on the Architect's evaluations of the Contractor's Applications for Payment, the Architect will review
and certify the amounts due the Contractor and will issue Certificates for Payment in such amounts.

§ 4.2.6 The Architect will have authority to reject Work that does not conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever
the Architect considers it necessary or advisable, the Architect will have authority to require inspection or testing of
the Work in accordance with Sections 13.5.2 and 13.5.3, whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed or
completed. However, neither this authority of the Architect nor a decision made in good faith either to exercise or
not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Architect to the Contractor,
Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their agents or employees, or other persons or entities performing
portions of the Work.

§ 4.2.7 The Architect will review and approve or take other appropriate action upon the Contractor's submittals such
as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with
information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The Architect's action will be taken
with such reasonable promptness as to cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of the Owner, Contractor or
separate contractors, while allowing sufficient time in the Architect's professional judgment to permit adequate
review. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of
other details such as dimensions and quantities, or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of
equipment or systems, all of which remain the responsibility of the Contractor as required by the Contract
Documents. The Architect's review of the Contractor's submittals shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligations
under Sections 3.3, 3.5 and 3.12. The Architect's review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless
otherwise specifically stated by the Architect, of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures. The Architect's approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item
is a component.

§ 4.2.8 The Architect will prepare Change Orders and Construction Change Directives, and may authorize minor
changes in the Work as provided in Section 7.4.
§ 4.2.9 The Architect will conduct inspections to determine the date or dates of Substantial Completion and the date
of final completion, will receive and forward to the Owner, for the Owner's review and records, written warranties
and related documents required by the Contract and assembled by the Contractor, and will issue a final Certificate
for Payment upon compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

§ 4.2.10 If the Owner and Architect agree, the Architect will provide one or more project representatives to assist in
carrying out the Architect's responsibilities at the site. The duties, responsibilities and limitations of authority of
such project representatives shall be as set forth in an exhibit to be incorporated in the Contract Documents.

§ 4.2.11 The Architect will interpret and decide matters concerning performance under and requirements of, the
Contract Documents on written request of either the Owner or Contractor. The Architect's response to such requests
will be made in writing within any time limits agreed upon or otherwise with reasonable promptness. If no
agreement is made concerning the time within which interpretations required of the Architect shall be furnished in
compliance with this Section 4.2, then delay shall not be recognized on account of failure by the Architect to furnish
such interpretations until 15 days after written request is made for them.

§ 4.2.12 Interpretations and decisions of the Architect will be consistent with the intent of and reasonably inferable
from the Contract Documents and will be in writing or in the form of drawings. When making such interpretations
and initial decisions, the Architect will endeavor to secure faithful performance by both Owner and Contractor, will
not show partiality to either and will not be liable for results of interpretations or decisions so rendered in good faith.

§ 4.2.13 The Architect's decisions on matters relating to aesthetic effect will be final if consistent with the intent
expressed in the Contract Documents.

§ 4.3 CLAIMS AND DISPUTES


§ 4.3.1 Definition. A Claim is a demand or assertion by one of the parties seeking, as a matter of right, adjustment or
interpretation of Contract terms, payment of money, extension of time or other relief with respect to the terms of the
Contract. The term "Claim" also includes other disputes and matters in question between the Owner and Contractor
arising out of or relating to the Contract. Claims must be initiated by written notice. The responsibility to
substantiate Claims shall rest with the party making the Claim.

§ 4.3.2 Time Limits on Claims. Claims by either party must be initiated within 21 days after occurrence of the event
giving rise to such Claim or within 21 days after the claimant first recognizes the condition giving rise to the Claim,
whichever is later. Claims must be initiated by written notice to the Architect and the other party.

§ 4.3.3 Continuing Contract Performance. Pending final resolution of a Claim except as otherwise agreed in writing
or as provided in Section 9.7.1 and Article 14, the Contractor shall proceed diligently with performance of the
Contract and the Owner shall continue to make payments in accordance with the Contract Documents.

§ 4.3.4 Claims for Concealed or Unknown Conditions. If conditions are encountered at the site which are (1)
subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract
Documents or (2) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily
found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the
Contract Documents, then notice by the observing party shall be given to the other party promptly before conditions
are disturbed and in no event later than 21 days after first observance of the conditions. The Architect will promptly
investigate such conditions and, if they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost
of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, will recommend an equitable adjustment in the
Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both. If the Architect determines that the conditions at the site are not materially
different from those indicated in the Contract Documents and that no change in the terms of the Contract is justified,
the Architect shall so notify the Owner and Contractor in writing, stating the reasons. Claims by either party in
opposition to such determination must be made within 21 days after the Architect has given notice of the decision. If
the conditions encountered are materially different, the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be equitably adjusted,
but if the Owner and Contractor cannot agree on an adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, the
adjustment shall be referred to the Architect for initial determination, subject to further proceedings pursuant to
Section 4.4.
§ 4.3.5 Claims for Additional Cost. If the Contractor wishes to make Claim for an increase in the Contract Sum,
written notice as provided herein shall be given before proceeding to execute the Work. Prior notice is not required
for Claims relating to an emergency endangering life or property arising under Section 10.6.

§ 4.3.6 If the Contractor believes additional cost is involved for reasons including but not limited to (1) a written
interpretation from the Architect, (2) an order by the Owner to stop the Work where the Contractor was not at fault,
(3) a written order for a minor change in the Work issued by the Architect, (4) failure of payment by the Owner, (5)
termination of the Contract by the Owner, (6) Owner's suspension or (7) other reasonable grounds, Claim shall be
filed in accordance with this Section 4.3.

§ 4.3.7 Claims for Additional Time


§ 4.3.7.1 If the Contractor wishes to make Claim for an increase in the Contract Time, written notice as provided
herein shall be given. The Contractor's Claim shall include an estimate of cost and of probable effect of delay on
progress of the Work. In the case of a continuing delay only one Claim is necessary.

§ 4.3.7.2 If adverse weather conditions are the basis for a Claim for additional time, such Claim shall be documented
by data substantiating that weather conditions were abnormal for the period of time, could not have been reasonably
anticipated and had an adverse effect on the scheduled construction.

§ 4.3.8 Injury or Damage to Person or Property. If either party to the Contract suffers injury or damage to person or
property because of an act or omission of the other party, or of others for whose acts such party is legally
responsible, written notice of such injury or damage, whether or not insured, shall be given to the other party within
a reasonable time not exceeding 21 days after discovery. The notice shall provide sufficient detail to enable the other
party to investigate the matter.

§ 4.3.9 If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and if quantities originally
contemplated are materially changed in a proposed Change Order or Construction Change Directive so that
application of such unit prices to quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or
Contractor, the applicable unit prices shall be equitably adjusted.

§ 4.3.10 Claims for Consequential Damages. The Contractor and Owner waive Claims against each other for
consequential damages arising out of or relating to this Contract. This mutual waiver includes:
.1 damages incurred by the Owner for rental expenses, for losses of use, income, profit, financing,
business and reputation, and for loss of management or employee productivity or of the services of
such persons; and
.2 damages incurred by the Contractor for principal office expenses including the compensation of
personnel stationed there, for losses of financing, business and reputation, and for loss of profit
except anticipated profit arising directly from the Work.

This mutual waiver is applicable, without limitation, to all consequential damages due to either party's termination in
accordance with Article 14. Nothing contained in this Section 4.3.10 shall be deemed to preclude an award of
liquidated direct damages, when applicable, in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

§ 4.4 RESOLUTION OF CLAIMS AND DISPUTES


§ 4.4.1 Decision of Architect. Claims, including those alleging an error or omission by the Architect but excluding
those arising under Sections 10.3 through 10.5, shall be referred initially to the Architect for decision. An initial
decision by the Architect shall be required as a condition precedent to mediation, arbitration or litigation of all
Claims between the Contractor and Owner arising prior to the date final payment is due, unless 30 days have passed
after the Claim has been referred to the Architect with no decision having been rendered by the Architect. The
Architect will not decide disputes between the Contractor and persons or entities other than the Owner.

§ 4.4.2 The Architect will review Claims and within ten days of the receipt of the Claim take one or more of the
following actions: (1) request additional supporting data from the claimant or a response with supporting data from
the other party, (2) reject the Claim in whole or in part, (3) approve the Claim, (4) suggest a compromise, or (5)
advise the parties that the Architect is unable to resolve the Claim if the Architect lacks sufficient information to
evaluate the merits of the Claim or if the Architect concludes that, in the Architect's sole discretion, it would be
inappropriate for the Architect to resolve the Claim.

§ 4.4.3 In evaluating Claims, the Architect may, but shall not be obligated to, consult with or seek information from
either party or from persons with special knowledge or expertise who may assist the Architect in rendering a
decision. The Architect may request the Owner to authorize retention of such persons at the Owner's expense.

§ 4.4.4 If the Architect requests a party to provide a response to a Claim or to furnish additional supporting data,
such party shall respond, within ten days after receipt of such request, and shall either provide a response on the
requested supporting data, advise the Architect when the response or supporting data will be furnished or advise the
Architect that no supporting data will be furnished. Upon receipt of the response or supporting data, if any, the
Architect will either reject or approve the Claim in whole or in part.

§ 4.4.5 The Architect will approve or reject Claims by written decision, which shall state the reasons therefor and
which shall notify the parties of any change in the Contract Sum or Contract Time or both. The approval or rejection
of a Claim by the Architect shall be final and binding on the parties but subject to mediation and arbitration.

§ 4.4.6 When a written decision of the Architect states that (1) the decision is final but subject to mediation and
arbitration and (2) a demand for arbitration of a Claim covered by such decision must be made within 30 days after
the date on which the party making the demand receives the final written decision, then failure to demand arbitration
within said 30 days' period shall result in the Architect's decision becoming final and binding upon the Owner and
Contractor. If the Architect renders a decision after arbitration proceedings have been initiated, such decision may
be entered as evidence, but shall not supersede arbitration proceedings unless the decision is acceptable to all parties
concerned.

§ 4.4.7 Upon receipt of a Claim against the Contractor or at any time thereafter, the Architect or the Owner may, but
is not obligated to, notify the surety, if any, of the nature and amount of the Claim. If the Claim relates to a
possibility of a Contractor's default, the Architect or the Owner may, but is not obligated to, notify the surety and
request the surety's assistance in resolving the controversy.

§ 4.4.8 If a Claim relates to or is the subject of a mechanic's lien, the party asserting such Claim may proceed in
accordance with applicable law to comply with the lien notice or filing deadlines prior to resolution of the Claim by
the Architect, by mediation or by arbitration.

§ 4.5 DISPUTES
§ 4.5.1 All disputes shall be resolved in the Centre County Court of Common Pleas, Bellefonte, PA

ARTICLE 5 SUBCONTRACTORS
§ 5.1 DEFINITIONS
§ 5.1.1 A Subcontractor is a person or entity who has a direct contract with the Contractor to perform a portion of the
Work at the site. The term "Subcontractor" is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in
number and means a Subcontractor or an authorized representative of the Subcontractor. The term "Subcontractor"
does not include a separate contractor or subcontractors of a separate contractor.

§ 5.1.2 A Sub-subcontractor is a person or entity who has a direct or indirect contract with a Subcontractor to
perform a portion of the Work at the site. The term "Sub-subcontractor" is referred to throughout the Contract
Documents as if singular in number and means a Sub-subcontractor or an authorized representative of the Sub-
subcontractor.

§ 5.2 AWARD OF SUBCONTRACTS AND OTHER CONTRACTS FOR PORTIONS OF THE WORK
§ 5.2.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents or the bidding requirements, the Contractor, as soon as
practicable after award of the Contract, shall furnish in writing to the Owner through the Architect the names of
persons or entities (including those who are to furnish materials or equipment fabricated to a special design)
proposed for each principal portion of the Work. The Architect will promptly reply to the Contractor in writing
stating whether or not the Owner or the Architect, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any such
proposed person or entity. Failure of the Owner or Architect to reply promptly shall constitute notice of no
reasonable objection.

§ 5.2.2 The Contractor shall not contract with a proposed person or entity to whom the Owner or Architect has made
reasonable and timely objection. The Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the
Contractor has made reasonable objection.

§ 5.2.3 If the Owner or Architect has reasonable objection to a person or entity proposed by the Contractor, the
Contractor shall propose another to whom the Owner or Architect has no reasonable objection. If the proposed but
rejected Subcontractor was reasonably capable of performing the Work, the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall
be increased or decreased by the difference, if any, occasioned by such change, and an appropriate Change Order
shall be issued before commencement of the substitute Subcontractor's Work. However, no increase in the Contract
Sum or Contract Time shall be allowed for such change unless the Contractor has acted promptly and responsively
in submitting names as required.

§ 5.2.4 The Contractor shall not change a Subcontractor, person or entity previously selected if the Owner or
Architect makes reasonable objection to such substitute.

§ 5.3 SUBCONTRACTUAL RELATIONS


§ 5.3.1 By appropriate agreement, written where legally required for validity, the Contractor shall require each
Subcontractor, to the extent of the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor, to be bound to the Contractor by
terms of the Contract Documents, and to assume toward the Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities,
including the responsibility for safety of the Subcontractor's Work, which the Contractor, by these Documents,
assumes toward the Owner and Architect. Each subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of the
Owner and Architect under the Contract Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor
so that subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights, and shall allow to the Subcontractor, unless specifically
provided otherwise in the subcontract agreement, the benefit of all rights, remedies and redress against the
Contractor that the Contractor, by the Contract Documents, has against the Owner. Where appropriate, the
Contractor shall require each Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with Sub-subcontractors. The
Contractor shall make available to each proposed Subcontractor, prior to the execution of the subcontract agreement,
copies of the Contract Documents to which the Subcontractor will be bound, and, upon written request of the
Subcontractor, identify to the Subcontractor terms and conditions of the proposed subcontract agreement which may
be at variance with the Contract Documents. Subcontractors will similarly make copies of applicable portions of
such documents available to their respective proposed Sub-subcontractors.

§ 5.4 CONTINGENT ASSIGNMENT OF SUBCONTRACTS


§ 5.4.1 Each subcontract agreement for a portion of the Work is assigned by the Contractor to the Owner provided
that:
.1 assignment is effective only after termination of the Contract by the Owner for cause pursuant to
Section 14.2 and only for those subcontract agreements which the Owner accepts by notifying the
Subcontractor and Contractor in writing; and
.2 assignment is subject to the prior rights of the surety, if any, obligated under bond relating to the
Contract.

§ 5.4.2 Upon such assignment, if the Work has been suspended for more than 30 days, the Subcontractor's
compensation shall be equitably adjusted for increases in cost resulting from the suspension.

ARTICLE 6 CONSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR BY SEPARATE CONTRACTORS


§ 6.1 OWNER'S RIGHT TO PERFORM CONSTRUCTION AND TO AWARD SEPARATE CONTRACTS
§ 6.1.1 The Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operations related to the Project with the Owner's
own forces, and to award separate contracts in connection with other portions of the Project or other construction or
operations on the site under Conditions of the Contract identical or substantially similar to these including those
portions related to insurance and waiver of subrogation. If the Contractor claims that delay or additional cost is
involved because of such action by the Owner, the Contractor shall make such Claim as provided in Section 4.3.
§ 6.1.2 When separate contracts are awarded for different portions of the Project or other construction or operations
on the site, the term "Contractor" in the Contract Documents in each case shall mean the Contractor who executes
each separate Owner-Contractor Agreement.

§ 6.1.3 The Owner shall provide for coordination of the activities of the Owner's own forces and of each separate
contractor with the Work of the Contractor, who shall cooperate with them. The Contractor shall participate with
other separate contractors and the Owner in reviewing their construction schedules when directed to do so. The
Contractor shall make any revisions to the construction schedule deemed necessary after a joint review and mutual
agreement. The construction schedules shall then constitute the schedules to be used by the Contractor, separate
contractors and the Owner until subsequently revised.

§ 6.1.4 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, when the Owner performs construction or operations
related to the Project with the Owner's own forces, the Owner shall be deemed to be subject to the same obligations
and to have the same rights which apply to the Contractor under the Conditions of the Contract, including, without
excluding others, those stated in Article 3, this Article 6 and Articles 10, 11 and 12.

§ 6.2 MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY


§ 6.2.1 The Contractor shall afford the Owner and separate contractors reasonable opportunity for introduction and
storage of their materials and equipment and performance of their activities, and shall connect and coordinate the
Contractor's construction and operations with theirs as required by the Contract Documents.

§ 6.2.2 If part of the Contractor's Work depends for proper execution or results upon construction or operations by
the Owner or a separate contractor, the Contractor shall, prior to proceeding with that portion of the Work, promptly
report to the Architect apparent discrepancies or defects in such other construction that would render it unsuitable
for such proper execution and results. Failure of the Contractor so to report shall constitute an acknowledgment that
the Owner's or separate contractor's completed or partially completed construction is fit and proper to receive the
Contractor's Work, except as to defects not then reasonably discoverable.

§ 6.2.3 The Owner shall be reimbursed by the Contractor for costs incurred by the Owner which are payable to a
separate contractor because of delays, improperly timed activities or defective construction of the Contractor. The
Owner shall be responsible to the Contractor for costs incurred by the Contractor because of delays, improperly
timed activities, damage to the Work or defective construction of a separate contractor.

§ 6.2.4 The Contractor shall promptly remedy damage wrongfully caused by the Contractor to completed or partially
completed construction or to property of the Owner or separate contractors as provided in Section 10.2.5.

§ 6.2.5 The Owner and each separate contractor shall have the same responsibilities for cutting and patching as are
described for the Contractor in Section 3.14.

§ 6.3 OWNER'S RIGHT TO CLEAN UP


§ 6.3.1 If a dispute arises among the Contractor, separate contractors and the Owner as to the responsibility under
their respective contracts for maintaining the premises and surrounding area free from waste materials and rubbish,
the Owner may clean up and the Architect will allocate the cost among those responsible.

ARTICLE 7 CHANGES IN THE WORK


§ 7.1 GENERAL
§ 7.1.1 Changes in the Work may be accomplished after execution of the Contract, and without invalidating the
Contract, by Change Order, Construction Change Directive or order for a minor change in the Work, subject to the
limitations stated in this Article 7 and elsewhere in the Contract Documents.

§ 7.1.2 A Change Order shall be based upon agreement among the Owner, Contractor and Architect; a Construction
Change Directive requires agreement by the Owner and Architect and may or may not be agreed to by the
Contractor; an order for a minor change in the Work may be issued by the Architect alone.
§ 7.1.3 Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions of the Contract Documents, and the
Contractor shall proceed promptly, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order, Construction Change Directive
or order for a minor change in the Work.

§ 7.2 CHANGE ORDERS


§ 7.2.1 A Change Order is a written instrument prepared by the Architect and signed by the Owner, Contractor and
Architect, stating their agreement upon all of the following:
.1 change in the Work;
.2 the amount of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum; and
.3 the extent of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Time.

§ 7.2.2 Methods used in determining adjustments to the Contract Sum may include those listed in Section 7.3.3.

§ 7.3 CONSTRUCTION CHANGE DIRECTIVES


§ 7.3.1 A Construction Change Directive is a written order prepared by the Architect and signed by the Owner and
Architect, directing a change in the Work prior to agreement on adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum or Contract
Time, or both. The Owner may by Construction Change Directive, without invalidating the Contract, order changes
in the Work within the general scope of the Contract consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, the
Contract Sum and Contract Time being adjusted accordingly.

§ 7.3.2 A Construction Change Directive shall be used in the absence of total agreement on the terms of a Change
Order.

§ 7.3.3 If the Construction Change Directive provides for an adjustment to the Contract Sum, the adjustment shall be
based on one of the following methods:
.1 mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to
permit evaluation;
.2 unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon;
.3 cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually acceptable fixed or
percentage fee; or
.4 as provided in Section 7.3.6.

§ 7.3.4 Upon receipt of a Construction Change Directive, the Contractor shall promptly proceed with the change in
the Work involved and advise the Architect of the Contractor's agreement or disagreement with the method, if any,
provided in the Construction Change Directive for determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract Sum or
Contract Time.

§ 7.3.5 A Construction Change Directive signed by the Contractor indicates the agreement of the Contractor
therewith, including adjustment in Contract Sum and Contract Time or the method for determining them. Such
agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded as a Change Order.

§ 7.3.6 If the Contractor does not respond promptly or disagrees with the method for adjustment in the Contract Sum,
the method and the adjustment shall be determined by the Architect on the basis of reasonable expenditures and
savings of those performing the Work attributable to the change, including, in case of an increase in the Contract
Sum, a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit. In such case, and also under Section 7.3.3.3, the Contractor
shall keep and present, in such form as the Architect may prescribe, an itemized accounting together with
appropriate supporting data. Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, costs for the purposes of this
Section 7.3.6 shall be limited to the following:
.1 costs of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment insurance, fringe benefits
required by agreement or custom, and workers' compensation insurance;
.2 costs of materials, supplies and equipment, including cost of transportation, whether incorporated or
consumed;
.3 rental costs of machinery and equipment, exclusive of hand tools, whether rented from the Contractor
or others;
.4 costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance, permit fees, and sales, use or similar taxes related to
the Work; and
.5 additional costs of supervision and field office personnel directly attributable to the change.

§ 7.3.7 The amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor to the Owner for a deletion or change which results in a
net decrease in the Contract Sum shall be actual net cost as confirmed by the Architect. When both additions and
credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall
be figured on the basis of net increase, if any, with respect to that change.

§ 7.3.8 Pending final determination of the total cost of a Construction Change Directive to the Owner, amounts not in
dispute for such changes in the Work shall be included in Applications for Payment accompanied by a Change
Order indicating the parties' agreement with part or all of such costs. For any portion of such cost that remains in
dispute, the Architect will make an interim determination for purposes of monthly certification for payment for those
costs. That determination of cost shall adjust the Contract Sum on the same basis as a Change Order, subject to the
right of either party to disagree and assert a claim in accordance with Article 4.

§ 7.3.9 When the Owner and Contractor agree with the determination made by the Architect concerning the
adjustments in the Contract Sum and Contract Time, or otherwise reach agreement upon the adjustments, such
agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded by preparation and execution of an appropriate
Change Order.

§ 7.4 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK


§ 7.4.1 The Architect will have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving adjustment in the
Contract Sum or extension of the Contract Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents.
Such changes shall be effected by written order and shall be binding on the Owner and Contractor. The Contractor
shall carry out such written orders promptly.

ARTICLE 8 TIME
§ 8.1 DEFINITIONS
§ 8.1.1 Unless otherwise provided, Contract Time is the period of time, including authorized adjustments, allotted in
the Contract Documents for Substantial Completion of the Work.

§ 8.1.2 The date of commencement of the Work is the date established in the Agreement.

§ 8.1.3 The date of Substantial Completion is the date certified by the Architect in accordance with Section 9.8.

§ 8.1.4 The term "day" as used in the Contract Documents shall mean calendar day unless otherwise specifically
defined.

§ 8.2 PROGRESS AND COMPLETION


§ 8.2.1 Time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Contract. By executing the Agreement
the Contractor confirms that the Contract Time is a reasonable period for performing the Work.

§ 8.2.2 The Contractor shall not knowingly, except by agreement or instruction of the Owner in writing, prematurely
commence operations on the site or elsewhere prior to the effective date of insurance required by Article 11 to be
furnished by the Contractor and Owner. The date of commencement of the Work shall not be changed by the
effective date of such insurance. Unless the date of commencement is established by the Contract Documents or a
notice to proceed given by the Owner, the Contractor shall notify the Owner in writing not less than five days or
other agreed period before commencing the Work to permit the timely filing of mortgages, mechanic's liens and
other security interests.

§ 8.2.3 The Contractor shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve Substantial Completion
within the Contract Time.

§ 8.3 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME


§ 8.3.1 If the Contractor is delayed at any time in the commencement or progress of the Work by an act or neglect of
the Owner or Architect, or of an employee of either, or of a separate contractor employed by the Owner, or by
changes ordered in the Work, or by labor disputes, fire, unusual delay in deliveries, unavoidable casualties or other
causes beyond the Contractor's control, or by delay authorized by the Owner pending mediation and arbitration, or
by other causes which the Architect determines may justify delay, then the Contract Time shall be extended by
Change Order for such reasonable time as the Architect may determine.

§ 8.3.2 Claims relating to time shall be made in accordance with applicable provisions of Section 4.3.

§ 8.3.3 This Section 8.3 does not preclude recovery of damages for delay by either party under other provisions of
the Contract Documents.

ARTICLE 9 PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION


§ 9.1 CONTRACT SUM
§ 9.1.1 The Contract Sum is stated in the Agreement and, including authorized adjustments, is the total amount
payable by the Owner to the Contractor for performance of the Work under the Contract Documents.

§ 9.2 SCHEDULE OF VALUES


§ 9.2.1 Before the first Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit to the Architect a schedule of values
allocated to various portions of the Work, prepared in such form and supported by such data to substantiate its
accuracy as the Architect may require. This schedule, unless objected to by the Architect, shall be used as a basis for
reviewing the Contractor's Applications for Payment.

§ 9.3 APPLICATIONS FOR PAYMENT


§ 9.3.1 At least ten days before the date established for each progress payment, the Contractor shall submit to the
Architect an itemized Application for Payment for operations completed in accordance with the schedule of values.
Such application shall be notarized, if required, and supported by such data substantiating the Contractor's right to
payment as the Owner or Architect may require, such as copies of requisitions from Subcontractors and material
suppliers, and reflecting retainage if provided for in the Contract Documents.

§ 9.3.1.1 As provided in Section 7.3.8, such applications may include requests for payment on account of changes in
the Work which have been properly authorized by Construction Change Directives, or by interim determinations of
the Architect, but not yet included in Change Orders.

§ 9.3.1.2 Such applications may not include requests for payment for portions of the Work for which the Contractor
does not intend to pay to a Subcontractor or material supplier, unless such Work has been performed by others
whom the Contractor intends to pay.

§ 9.3.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, payments shall be made on account of materials and
equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the Work. If approved in advance
by the Owner, payment may similarly be made for materials and equipment suitably stored off the site at a location
agreed upon in writing. Payment for materials and equipment stored on or off the site shall be conditioned upon
compliance by the Contractor with procedures satisfactory to the Owner to establish the Owner's title to such
materials and equipment or otherwise protect the Owner's interest, and shall include the costs of applicable
insurance, storage and transportation to the site for such materials and equipment stored off the site.

§ 9.3.3 The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by an Application for Payment will pass to the Owner
no later than the time of payment. The Contractor further warrants that upon submittal of an Application for
Payment all Work for which Certificates for Payment have been previously issued and payments received from the
Owner shall, to the best of the Contractor's knowledge, information and belief, be free and clear of liens, claims,
security interests or encumbrances in favor of the Contractor, Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or
entities making a claim by reason of having provided labor, materials and equipment relating to the Work.

§ 9.4 CERTIFICATES FOR PAYMENT


§ 9.4.1 The Architect will, within seven days after receipt of the Contractor's Application for Payment, either issue to
the Owner a Certificate for Payment, with a copy to the Contractor, for such amount as the Architect determines is
properly due, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of the Architect's reasons for withholding certification
in whole or in part as provided in Section 9.5.1.
§ 9.4.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a representation by the Architect to the Owner,
based on the Architect's evaluation of the Work and the data comprising the Application for Payment, that the Work
has progressed to the point indicated and that, to the best of the Architect's knowledge, information and belief, the
quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing representations are subject to an
evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to results of
subsequent tests and inspections, to correction of minor deviations from the Contract Documents prior to completion
and to specific qualifications expressed by the Architect. The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will further
constitute a representation that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified. However, the issuance
of a Certificate for Payment will not be a representation that the Architect has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on-
site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and material suppliers
and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment, or (4) made examination to
ascertain how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum.

§ 9.5 DECISIONS TO WITHHOLD CERTIFICATION


§ 9.5.1 The Architect may withhold a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part, to the extent reasonably necessary
to protect the Owner, if in the Architect's opinion the representations to the Owner required by Section 9.4.2 cannot
be made. If the Architect is unable to certify payment in the amount of the Application, the Architect will notify the
Contractor and Owner as provided in Section 9.4.1. If the Contractor and Architect cannot agree on a revised
amount, the Architect will promptly issue a Certificate for Payment for the amount for which the Architect is able to
make such representations to the Owner. The Architect may also withhold a Certificate for Payment or, because of
subsequently discovered evidence, may nullify the whole or a part of a Certificate for Payment previously issued, to
such extent as may be necessary in the Architect's opinion to protect the Owner from loss for which the Contractor is
responsible, including loss resulting from acts and omissions described in Section 3.3.2, because of:
.1 defective Work not remedied;
.2 third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims unless
security acceptable to the Owner is provided by the Contractor;
.3 failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for labor, materials or
equipment;
.4 reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum;
.5 damage to the Owner or another contractor;
.6 reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time, and that the
unpaid balance would not be adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages for the anticipated delay;
or
.7 persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

§ 9.5.2 When the above reasons for withholding certification are removed, certification will be made for amounts
previously withheld.

§ 9.6 PROGRESS PAYMENTS


§ 9.6.1 After the Architect has issued a Certificate for Payment, the Owner shall make payment in the manner and
within the time provided in the Contract Documents, and shall so notify the Architect.

§ 9.6.2 The Contractor shall promptly pay each Subcontractor, upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out of the
amount paid to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's portion of the Work, the amount to which said
Subcontractor is entitled, reflecting percentages actually retained from payments to the Contractor on account of
such Subcontractor's portion of the Work. The Contractor shall, by appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor,
require each Subcontractor to make payments to Sub-subcontractors in a similar manner.

§ 9.6.3 The Architect will, on request, furnish to a Subcontractor, if practicable, information regarding percentages of
completion or amounts applied for by the Contractor and action taken thereon by the Architect and Owner on
account of portions of the Work done by such Subcontractor.

§ 9.6.4 Neither the Owner nor Architect shall have an obligation to pay or to see to the payment of money to a
Subcontractor except as may otherwise be required by law.
§ 9.6.5 Payment to material suppliers shall be treated in a manner similar to that provided in Sections 9.6.2, 9.6.3 and
9.6.4.

§ 9.6.6 A Certificate for Payment, a progress payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the
Owner shall not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents.

§ 9.6.7 Unless the Contractor provides the Owner with a payment bond in the full penal sum of the Contract Sum,
payments received by the Contractor for Work properly performed by Subcontractors and suppliers shall be held by
the Contractor for those Subcontractors or suppliers who performed Work or furnished materials, or both, under
contract with the Contractor for which payment was made by the Owner. Nothing contained herein shall require
money to be placed in a separate account and not commingled with money of the Contractor, shall create any
fiduciary liability or tort liability on the part of the Contractor for breach of trust or shall entitle any person or entity
to an award of punitive damages against the Contractor for breach of the requirements of this provision.

§ 9.7 FAILURE OF PAYMENT


§ 9.7.1 If the Architect does not issue a Certificate for Payment, through no fault of the Contractor, within seven days
after receipt of the Contractor's Application for Payment, or if the Owner does not pay the Contractor within seven
days after the date established in the Contract Documents the amount certified by the Architect or awarded by
arbitration, then the Contractor may, upon seven additional days' written notice to the Owner and Architect, stop the
Work until payment of the amount owing has been received. The Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and
the Contract Sum shall be increased by the amount of the Contractor's reasonable costs of shut-down, delay and
start-up, plus interest as provided for in the Contract Documents.

§ 9.8 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION


§ 9.8.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or designated portion thereof
is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the
Work for its intended use.

§ 9.8.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept
separately, is substantially complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Architect a comprehensive list of
items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment. Failure to include an item on such list does not alter the
responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

§ 9.8.3 Upon receipt of the Contractor's list, the Architect will make an inspection to determine whether the Work or
designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the Architect's inspection discloses any item, whether or not
included on the Contractor's list, which is not sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so
that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work or designated portion thereof for its intended use, the Contractor
shall, before issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion, complete or correct such item upon notification
by the Architect. In such case, the Contractor shall then submit a request for another inspection by the Architect to
determine Substantial Completion.

§ 9.8.4 When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Architect will prepare a
Certificate of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date of Substantial Completion, shall establish
responsibilities of the Owner and Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and
insurance, and shall fix the time within which the Contractor shall finish all items on the list accompanying the
Certificate. Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion
of the Work or designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Completion.

§ 9.8.5 The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the Owner and Contractor for their written
acceptance of responsibilities assigned to them in such Certificate. Upon such acceptance and consent of surety, if
any, the Owner shall make payment of retainage applying to such Work or designated portion thereof. Such payment
shall be adjusted for Work that is incomplete or not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

§ 9.9 PARTIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE


§ 9.9.1 The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially completed portion of the Work at any stage when
such portion is designated by separate agreement with the Contractor, provided such occupancy or use is consented
to by the insurer as required under Section 11.4.1.5 and authorized by public authorities having jurisdiction over the
Work. Such partial occupancy or use may commence whether or not the portion is substantially complete, provided
the Owner and Contractor have accepted in writing the responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments,
retainage, if any, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and have agreed in
writing concerning the period for correction of the Work and commencement of warranties required by the Contract
Documents. When the Contractor considers a portion substantially complete, the Contractor shall prepare and
submit a list to the Architect as provided under Section 9.8.2. Consent of the Contractor to partial occupancy or use
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The stage of the progress of the Work shall be determined by written agreement
between the Owner and Contractor or, if no agreement is reached, by decision of the Architect.

§ 9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner, Contractor and Architect shall jointly inspect
the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used in order to determine and record the condition of the
Work.

§ 9.9.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial occupancy or use of a portion or portions of the Work shall not
constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

§ 9.10 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT


§ 9.10.1 Upon receipt of written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and upon receipt of
a final Application for Payment, the Architect will promptly make such inspection and, when the Architect finds the
Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed, the Architect will promptly issue
a final Certificate for Payment stating that to the best of the Architect's knowledge, information and belief, and on
the basis of the Architect's on-site visits and inspections, the Work has been completed in accordance with terms and
conditions of the Contract Documents and that the entire balance found to be due the Contractor and noted in the
final Certificate is due and payable. The Architect's final Certificate for Payment will constitute a further
representation that conditions listed in Section 9.10.2 as precedent to the Contractor's being entitled to final payment
have been fulfilled.

§ 9.10.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the Contractor submits
to the Architect (1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected
with the Work for which the Owner or the Owner's property might be responsible or encumbered (less amounts
withheld by Owner) have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) a certificate evidencing that insurance required by the
Contract Documents to remain in force after final payment is currently in effect and will not be canceled or allowed
to expire until at least 30 days' prior written notice has been given to the Owner, (3) a written statement that the
Contractor knows of no substantial reason that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by
the Contract Documents, (4) consent of surety, if any, to final payment and (5), if required by the Owner, other data
establishing payment or satisfaction of obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security
interests or encumbrances arising out of the Contract, to the extent and in such form as may be designated by the
Owner. If a Subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner, the Contractor may furnish a
bond satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify the Owner against such lien. If such lien remains unsatisfied after
payments are made, the Contractor shall refund to the Owner all money that the Owner may be compelled to pay in
discharging such lien, including all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.

§ 9.10.3 If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault
of the Contractor or by issuance of Change Orders affecting final completion, and the Architect so confirms, the
Owner shall, upon application by the Contractor and certification by the Architect, and without terminating the
Contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the
remaining balance for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than retainage stipulated in the Contract
Documents, and if bonds have been furnished, the written consent of surety to payment of the balance due for that
portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor to the Architect prior to
certification of such payment. Such payment shall be made under terms and conditions governing final payment,
except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims.

§ 9.10.4 The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of Claims by the Owner except those arising from:
.1 liens, Claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the Contract and unsettled;
.2 failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents; or
.3 terms of special warranties required by the Contract Documents.

§ 9.10.5 Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor, a Subcontractor or material supplier shall constitute a
waiver of claims by that payee except those previously made in writing and identified by that payee as unsettled at
the time of final Application for Payment.

by any of them, or by anyone for whose acts they may be liable and for which the Contractor is responsible under
Sections 10.2.1.2 and 10.2.1.3, except damage or loss attributable to acts or omissions of the Owner or Architect or
anyone directly or indirectly employed by either of them, or by anyone for whose acts either of them may be liable,
and not attributable to the fault or negligence of the Contractor. The foregoing obligations of the Contractor are in
addition to the Contractor's obligations under Section 3.18.

§ 10.3.1 If reasonable precautions will be inadequate to prevent foreseeable bodily injury or death to persons
resulting from a material or substance, including but not limited to asbestos or polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB),
encountered on the site by the Contractor, the Contractor shall, upon recognizing the condition, immediately stop
Work in the affected area and report the condition to the Owner and Architect in writing.
§ 10.3.2 The Owner shall obtain the services of a licensed laboratory to verify the presence or absence of the material
or substance reported by the Contractor and, in the event such material or substance is found to be present, to verify
that it has been rendered harmless. Unless otherwise required by the Contract Documents, the Owner shall furnish in
writing to the Contractor and Architect the names and qualifications of persons or entities who are to perform tests
verifying the presence or absence of such material or substance or who are to perform the task of removal or safe
containment of such material or substance. The Contractor and the Architect will promptly reply to the Owner in
writing stating whether or not either has reasonable objection to the persons or entities proposed by the Owner. If
either the Contractor or Architect has an objection to a person or entity proposed by the Owner, the Owner shall
propose another to whom the Contractor and the Architect have no reasonable objection. When the material or
substance has been rendered harmless, Work in the affected area shall resume upon written agreement of the Owner
and Contractor. The Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and the Contract Sum shall be increased in the
amount of the Contractor's reasonable additional costs of shut-down, delay and start-up, which adjustments shall be
accomplished as provided in Article 7.

§ 10.3.3 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Contractor,
Subcontractors, Architect, Architect's consultants and agents and employees of any of them from and against claims,
damages, losses and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys' fees, arising out of or resulting from
performance of the Work in the affected area if in fact the material or substance presents the risk of bodily injury or
death as described in Section 10.3.1 and has not been rendered harmless, provided that such claim, damage, loss or
expense is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death, or to injury to or destruction of tangible property
(other than the Work itself) and provided that such damage, loss or expense is not due to the sole negligence of a
party seeking indemnity.

§ 10.4 The Owner shall not be responsible under Section 10.3 for materials and substances brought to the site by the
Contractor unless such materials or substances were required by the Contract Documents.

§ 10.5 If, without negligence on the part of the Contractor, the Contractor is held liable for the cost of remediation of
a hazardous material or substance solely by reason of performing Work as required by the Contract Documents, the
Owner shall indemnify the Contractor for all cost and expense thereby incurred.

§ 10.6 EMERGENCIES
§ 10.6.1 In an emergency affecting safety of persons or property, the Contractor shall act, at the Contractor's
discretion, to prevent threatened damage, injury or loss. Additional compensation or extension of time claimed by

ARTICLE 11 INSURANCE AND BONDS


§ 11.1 CONTRACTOR'S LIABILITY INSURANCE
§ 11.1.1 The Contractor shall purchase from and maintain in a company or companies lawfully authorized to do
business in the jurisdiction in which the Project is located such insurance as will protect the Contractor from claims
set forth below which may arise out of or result from the Contractor's operations under the Contract and for which
the Contractor may be legally liable, whether such operations be by the Contractor or by a Subcontractor or by
anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable:
.1 claims under workers' compensation, disability benefit and other similar employee benefit acts which
are applicable to the Work to be performed;
.2 claims for damages because of bodily injury, occupational sickness or disease, or death of the
Contractor's employees;
.3 claims for damages because of bodily injury, sickness or disease, or death of any person other than
the Contractor's employees;
.4 claims for damages insured by usual personal injury liability coverage;
.5 claims for damages, other than to the Work itself, because of injury to or destruction of tangible
property, including loss of use resulting therefrom;
.6 claims for damages because of bodily injury, death of a person or property damage arising out of
ownership, maintenance or use of a motor vehicle;

.8 claims involving contractual liability insurance applicable to the Contractor's obligations under
Section 3.18.
§ 11.1.2 The insurance required by Section 11.1.1 shall be written for not less than limits of liability specified in the
Contract Documents or required by law, whichever coverage is greater. Coverages, whether written on an
occurrence or claims-made basis, shall be maintained without interruption from date of commencement of the Work
until date of final payment and termination of any coverage required to be maintained after final payment.

§ 11.1.3 Certificates of insurance acceptable to the Owner shall be filed with the Owner prior to commencement of
the Work. These certificates and the insurance policies required by this Section 11.1 shall contain a provision that
coverages afforded under the policies will not be canceled or allowed to expire until at least 30 days' prior written
notice has been given to the Owner. If any of the foregoing insurance coverages are required to remain in force after
final payment and are reasonably available, an additional certificate evidencing continuation of such coverage shall
be submitted with the final Application for Payment as required by Section 9.10.2. Information concerning reduction
of coverage on account of revised limits or claims paid under the General Aggregate, or both, shall be furnished by
the Contractor with reasonable promptness in accordance with the Contractor's information and belief.

§ 11.2 OWNER'S LIABILITY INSURANCE


§ 11.2.1 The Owner shall be responsible for purchasing and maintaining the Owner's usual liability insurance.

§ 11.3 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PROTECTIVE LIABILITY INSURANCE


§ 11.3.1 Optionally, the Owner may require the Contractor to purchase and maintain Project Management Protective
Liability insurance from the Contractor's usual sources as primary coverage for the Owner's, Contractor's and
Architect's vicarious liability for construction operations under the Contract. Unless otherwise required by the
Contract Documents, the Owner shall reimburse the Contractor by increasing the Contract Sum to pay the cost of
purchasing and maintaining such optional insurance coverage, and the Contractor shall not be responsible for
purchasing any other liability insurance on behalf of the Owner. The minimum limits of liability purchased with
such coverage shall be equal to the aggregate of the limits required for Contractor's Liability Insurance under
Sections 11.1.1.2 through 11.1.1.5.

§ 11.3.2 To the extent damages are covered by Project Management Protective Liability insurance, the Owner,
Contractor and Architect waive all rights against each other for damages, except such rights as they may have to the
proceeds of such insurance. The policy shall provide for such waivers of subrogation by endorsement or otherwise.

§ 11.3.3 The Owner shall not require the Contractor to include the Owner, Architect or other persons or entities as
additional insureds on the Contractor's Liability Insurance coverage under Section 11.1.

§ 11.4 PROPERTY INSURANCE


§ 11.4.1 Unless otherwise provided, the Owner shall purchase and maintain, in a company or companies lawfully
authorized to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Project is located, property insurance written on a builder's
risk "all-risk" or equivalent policy form in the amount of the initial Contract Sum, plus value of subsequent Contract
modifications and cost of materials supplied or installed by others, comprising total value for the entire Project at the
site on a replacement cost basis without optional deductibles. Such property insurance shall be maintained, unless
otherwise provided in the Contract Documents or otherwise agreed in writing by all persons and entities who are
beneficiaries of such insurance, until final payment has been made as provided in Section 9.10 or until no person or
entity other than the Owner has an insurable interest in the property required by this Section 11.4 to be covered,
whichever is later. This insurance shall include interests of the Owner, the Contractor, Subcontractors and Sub-
subcontractors in the Project.

§ 11.4.1.1 Property insurance shall be on an "all-risk" or equivalent policy form and shall include, without limitation,
insurance against the perils of fire (with extended coverage) and physical loss or damage including, without
duplication of coverage, theft, vandalism, malicious mischief, collapse, earthquake, flood, windstorm, falsework,
testing and startup, temporary buildings and debris removal including demolition occasioned by enforcement of any
applicable legal requirements, and shall cover reasonable compensation for Architect's and Contractor's services and
expenses required as a result of such insured loss.

§ 11.4.1.2 If the Owner does not intend to purchase such property insurance required by the Contract and with all of
the coverages in the amount described above, the Owner shall so inform the Contractor in writing prior to
commencement of the Work. The Contractor may then effect insurance which will protect the interests of the
Contractor, Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors in the Work, and by appropriate Change Order the cost thereof
shall be charged to the Owner. If the Contractor is damaged by the failure or neglect of the Owner to purchase or
maintain insurance as described above, without so notifying the Contractor in writing, then the Owner shall bear all
reasonable costs properly attributable thereto.

§ 11.4.1.3 If the property insurance requires deductibles, the Owner shall pay costs not covered because of such
deductibles.

§ 11.4.1.4 This property insurance shall cover portions of the Work stored off the site, and also portions of the Work
in transit.

§ 11.4.1.5 Partial occupancy or use in accordance with Section 9.9 shall not commence until the insurance company
or companies providing property insurance have consented to such partial occupancy or use by endorsement or
otherwise. The Owner and the Contractor shall take reasonable steps to obtain consent of the insurance company or
companies and shall, without mutual written consent, take no action with respect to partial occupancy or use that
would cause cancellation, lapse or reduction of insurance.

§ 11.4.2 Boiler and Machinery Insurance. The Owner shall purchase and maintain boiler and machinery insurance
required by the Contract Documents or by law, which shall specifically cover such insured objects during
installation and until final acceptance by the Owner; this insurance shall include interests of the Owner, Contractor,
Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors in the Work, and the Owner and Contractor shall be named insureds.

§ 11.4.3 Loss of Use Insurance. The Owner, at the Owner's option, may purchase and maintain such insurance as will
insure the Owner against loss of use of the Owner's property due to fire or other hazards, however caused. The
Owner waives all rights of action against the Contractor for loss of use of the Owner's property, including
consequential losses due to fire or other hazards however caused.

§ 11.4.4 If the Contractor requests in writing that insurance for risks other than those described herein or other
special causes of loss be included in the property insurance policy, the Owner shall, if possible, include such
insurance, and the cost thereof shall be charged to the Contractor by appropriate Change Order.

§ 11.4.5 If during the Project construction period the Owner insures properties, real or personal or both, at or adjacent
to the site by property insurance under policies separate from those insuring the Project, or if after final payment
property insurance is to be provided on the completed Project through a policy or policies other than those insuring
the Project during the construction period, the Owner shall waive all rights in accordance with the terms of Section
11.4.7 for damages caused by fire or other causes of loss covered by this separate property insurance. All separate
policies shall provide this waiver of subrogation by endorsement or otherwise.

§ 11.4.6 Before an exposure to loss may occur, the Owner shall file with the Contractor a copy of each policy that
includes insurance coverages required by this Section 11.4. Each policy shall contain all generally applicable
conditions, definitions, exclusions and endorsements related to this Project. Each policy shall contain a provision
that the policy will not be canceled or allowed to expire, and that its limits will not be reduced, until at least 30 days'
prior written notice has been given to the Contractor.

§ 11.4.7 Waivers of Subrogation. The Owner and Contractor waive all rights against (1) each other and any of their
subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, agents and employees, each of the other, and (2) the Architect, Architect's
consultants, separate contractors described in Article 6, if any, and any of their subcontractors, sub-subcontractors,
agents and employees, for damages caused by fire or other causes of loss to the extent covered by property insurance
obtained pursuant to this Section 11.4 or other property insurance applicable to the Work, except such rights as they
have to proceeds of such insurance held by the Owner as fiduciary. The Owner or Contractor, as appropriate, shall
require of the Architect, Architect's consultants, separate contractors described in Article 6, if any, and the
subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, agents and employees of any of them, by appropriate agreements, written where
legally required for validity, similar waivers each in favor of other parties enumerated herein. The policies shall
provide such waivers of subrogation by endorsement or otherwise. A waiver of subrogation shall be effective as to a
person or entity even though that person or entity would otherwise have a duty of indemnification, contractual or
otherwise, did not pay the insurance premium directly or indirectly, and whether or not the person or entity had an
insurable interest in the property damaged.

§ 11.4.8 A loss insured under Owner's property insurance shall be adjusted by the Owner as fiduciary and made
payable to the Owner as fiduciary for the insureds, as their interests may appear, subject to requirements of any
applicable mortgagee clause and of Section 11.4.10. The Contractor shall pay Subcontractors their just shares of
insurance proceeds received by the Contractor, and by appropriate agreements, written where legally required for
validity, shall require Subcontractors to make payments to their Sub-subcontractors in similar manner.

§ 11.4.9 If required in writing by a party in interest, the Owner as fiduciary shall, upon occurrence of an insured loss,
give bond for proper performance of the Owner's duties. The cost of required bonds shall be charged against
proceeds received as fiduciary. The Owner shall deposit in a separate account proceeds so received, which the
Owner shall distribute in accordance with such agreement as the parties in interest may reach, or in accordance with
an arbitration award in which case the procedure shall be as provided in Section 4.6. If after such loss no other
special agreement is made and unless the Owner terminates the Contract for convenience, replacement of damaged
property shall be performed by the Contractor after notification of a Change in the Work in accordance with Article
7.

§ 11.4.10 The Owner as fiduciary shall have power to adjust and settle a loss with insurers unless one of the parties in
interest shall object in writing within five days after occurrence of loss to the Owner's exercise of this power; if such
objection is made, the dispute shall be resolved as provided in Sections 4.5 and 4.6. The Owner as fiduciary shall, in
the case of arbitration, make settlement with insurers in accordance with directions of the arbitrators. If distribution
of insurance proceeds by arbitration is required, the arbitrators will direct such distribution.

§ 11.5 PERFORMANCE BOND AND PAYMENT BOND


§ 11.5.1 The Owner shall have the right to require the Contractor to furnish bonds covering faithful performance of
the Contract and payment of obligations arising thereunder as stipulated in bidding requirements or specifically
required in the Contract Documents on the date of execution of the Contract.

§ 11.5.2 Upon the request of any person or entity appearing to be a potential beneficiary of bonds covering payment
of obligations arising under the Contract, the Contractor shall promptly furnish a copy of the bonds or shall permit a
copy to be made.

ARTICLE 12 UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK


§ 12.1 UNCOVERING OF WORK
§ 12.1.1 If a portion of the Work is covered contrary to the Architect's request or to requirements specifically
expressed in the Contract Documents, it must, if required in writing by the Architect, be uncovered for the
Architect's examination and be replaced at the Contractor's expense without change in the Contract Time.

§ 12.1.2 If a portion of the Work has been covered which the Architect has not specifically requested to examine
prior to its being covered, the Architect may request to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by the Contractor. If
such Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents, costs of uncovering and replacement shall, by appropriate
Change Order, be at the Owner's expense. If such Work is not in accordance with the Contract Documents,
correction shall be at the Contractor's expense unless the condition was caused by the Owner or a separate contractor
in which event the Owner shall be responsible for payment of such costs.

§ 12.2 CORRECTION OF WORK


§ 12.2.1 BEFORE OR AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
§ 12.2.1.1 The Contractor shall promptly correct Work rejected by the Architect or failing to conform to the
requirements of the Contract Documents, whether discovered before or after Substantial Completion and whether or
not fabricated, installed or completed. Costs of correcting such rejected Work, including additional testing and
inspections and compensation for the Architect's services and expenses made necessary thereby, shall be at the
Contractor's expense.
§ 12.2.2 AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
§ 12.2.2.1 In addition to the Contractor's obligations under Section 3.5, if, within one year after the date of
Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof or after the date for commencement of warranties
established under Section 9.9.1, or by terms of an applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents,
any of the Work is found to be not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor
shall correct it promptly after receipt of written notice from the Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously
given the Contractor a written acceptance of such condition. The Owner shall give such notice promptly after
discovery of the condition. During the one-year period for correction of Work, if the Owner fails to notify the
Contractor and give the Contractor an opportunity to make the correction, the Owner waives the rights to require
correction by the Contractor and to make a claim for breach of warranty. If the Contractor fails to correct
nonconforming Work within a reasonable time during that period after receipt of notice from the Owner or
Architect, the Owner may correct it in accordance with Section 2.4.

§ 12.2.2.2 The one-year period for correction of Work shall be extended with respect to portions of Work first
performed after Substantial Completion by the period of time between Substantial Completion and the actual
performance of the Work.

§ 12.2.2.3 The one-year period for correction of Work shall not be extended by corrective Work performed by the
Contractor pursuant to this Section 12.2.

§ 12.2.3 The Contractor shall remove from the site portions of the Work which are not in accordance with the
requirements of the Contract Documents and are neither corrected by the Contractor nor accepted by the Owner.

§ 12.2.4 The Contractor shall bear the cost of correcting destroyed or damaged construction, whether completed or
partially completed, of the Owner or separate contractors caused by the Contractor's correction or removal of Work
which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

§ 12.2.5 Nothing contained in this Section 12.2 shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to
other obligations which the Contractor might have under the Contract Documents. Establishment of the one-year
period for correction of Work as described in Section 12.2.2 relates only to the specific obligation of the Contractor
to correct the Work, and has no relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply with the Contract
Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish
the Contractor's liability with respect to the Contractor's obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.

§ 12.3 ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK


§ 12.3.1 If the Owner prefers to accept Work which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract
Documents, the Owner may do so instead of requiring its removal and correction, in which case the Contract Sum
will be reduced as appropriate and equitable. Such adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has
been made.

shall be in addition to and not a limitation of duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available
by law.

§ 13.4.2 No action or failure to act by the Owner, Architect or Contractor shall constitute a waiver of a right or duty

breach thereunder, except as may be specifically agreed in writing.

§ 13.5 TESTS AND INSPECTIONS


§ 13.5.1 Tests, inspections and approvals of portions of the Work required by the Contract Documents or by laws,
ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of public authorities having jurisdiction shall be made at an appropriate time.

additional testing, inspection or approval not included under Section 13.5.1, the Architect will, upon written
authorization from the Owner, instruct the Contractor to make arrangements for such additional testing, inspection
or approval by an entity acceptable to the Owner, and the Contractor shall give timely notice to the Architect of
when and where tests and inspections are to be made so that the Architect may be present for such procedures. Such
costs, except as provided in Section 13.5.3, shall be at the Owner's expense.

§ 13.5.3 If such procedures for testing, inspection or approval under Sections 13.5.1 and 13.5.2 reveal failure of the
portions of the Work to comply with requirements established by the Contract Documents, all costs made necessary
by such failure including those of repeated procedures and compensation for the Architect's services and expenses
shall be at the Contractor's expense.

§ 13.5.4 Required certificates of testing, inspection or approval shall, unless otherwise required by the Contract

time at the place where the Project is located.

§ 13.7 COMMENCEMENT OF STATUTORY LIMITATION PERIOD


§ 13.7.1 As between the Owner and Contractor:

Substantial Completion, any applicable statute of limitations shall commence to run and any alleged
cause of action shall be deemed to have accrued in any and all events not later than such date of
Substantial Completion;

under Section 12.2, or the date of actual commission of any other act or failure to perform any duty or
obligation by the Contractor or Owner, whichever occurs last.

ARTICLE 14 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE CONTRACT


§ 14.1 TERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTOR

through no act or fault of the Contractor or a Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor or their agents or employees or any
other persons or entities performing portions of the Work under direct or indirect contract with the Contractor, for
any of the following reasons:
.1 issuance of an order of a court or other public authority having jurisdiction which requires all Work to
be stopped;
.2 an act of government, such as a declaration of national emergency which requires all Work to be
stopped;
.3 because the Architect has not issued a Certificate for Payment and has not notified the Contractor of
the reason for withholding certification as provided in Section 9.4.1, or because the Owner has not
made payment on a Certificate for Payment within the time stated in the Contract Documents; or
.4 the Owner has failed to furnish to the Contractor promptly, upon the Contractor's request, reasonable
evidence as required by Section 2.2.1.

§ 14.1.2 The Contractor may terminate the Contract if, through no act or fault of the Contractor or a Subcontractor,
Sub-subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work
under direct or indirect contract with the Contractor, repeated suspensions, delays or interruptions of the entire Work
by the Owner as described in Section 14.3 constitute in the aggregate more than 100 percent of the total number of
days scheduled for completion, or 120 days in any 365-day period, whichever is less.

§ 14.1.3 If one of the reasons described in Section 14.1.1 or 14.1.2 exists, the Contractor may, upon seven days'

including reasonable overhead, profit and damages.

§ 14.1.4 If the Work is stopped for a period of 60 consecutive days through no act or fault of the Contractor or a
Subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other persons performing portions of the Work under contract

days' written notice to the Owner and the Architect, terminate the Contract and recover from the Owner as provided
in Section 14.1.3.

§ 14.2 TERMINATION BY THE OWNER FOR CAUSE


§ 14.2.1 The Owner may terminate the Contract if the Contractor:
.1 persistently or repeatedly refuses or fails to supply enough properly skilled workers or proper
materials;
.2 fails to make payment to Subcontractors for materials or labor in accordance with the respective
agreements between the Contractor and the Subcontractors;
.3 persistently disregards laws, ordinances, or rules, regulations or orders of a public authority having
jurisdiction; or
.4 otherwise is guilty of substantial breach of a provision of the Contract Documents.

§ 14.2.2 When any of the above reasons exist, the Owner, upon certification by the Architect that sufficient cause
exists to justify such action, may without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the Owner and after giving the
Contractor and the Contractor's surety, if any, seven days' written notice, terminate employment of the Contractor
and may, subject to any prior rights of the surety:
.1 take possession of the site and of all materials, equipment, tools, and construction equipment and
machinery thereon owned by the Contractor;
.2 accept assignment of subcontracts pursuant to Section 5.4; and

not be entitled to receive further payment until the Work is finished.

§ 14.2.4 If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum exceeds costs of finishing the Work, including compensation for
the Architect's services and expenses made necessary thereby, and other damages incurred by the Owner and not
expressly waived, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such costs and damages exceed the unpaid balance,
the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner. The amount to be paid to the Contractor or Owner, as the case
may be, shall be certified by the Architect, upon application, and this obligation for payment shall survive
termination of the Contract.

§ 14.3 SUSPENSION BY THE OWNER FOR CONVENIENCE


§ 14.3.1 The Owner may, without cause, order the Contractor in writing to suspend, delay or interrupt the Work in
whole or in part for such period of time as the Owner may determine.

§ 14.3.2 The Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be adjusted for increases in the cost and time caused by
suspension, delay or interruption as described in Section 14.3.1. Adjustment of the Contract Sum shall include
profit. No adjustment shall be made to the extent:
.1 that performance is, was or would have been so suspended, delayed or interrupted by another cause
for which the Contractor is responsible; or
.2 that an equitable adjustment is made or denied under another provision of the Contract.

and
.3 except for Work directed to be performed prior to the effective date of termination stated in the
notice, terminate all existing subcontracts and purchase orders and enter into no further subcontracts
and purchase orders.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be:

* an existing published wage determination


* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on
xi-3
wdol.gov/wdol/scafiles/…/PA27.dvb 3/4
3/26/2010 http://www.wdol.gov/wdol/scafiles/da…
a wage determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests


for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour
Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted
because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the
Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial
contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)
and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal
process described here, initial contact should be with the
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations


Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an


interested party (those affected by the action) can request
review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator
(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator


U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the


interested party's position and by any information (wage
payment data, project description, area practice material,
etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an


interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative
Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board


U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

Confirm compatibility of slip sheet and waterproofing membrane with manufacturer.

Never use duct tape or any other adhesive not recommended by the manufacturer.

Never use moisture holding fabric, such as needle punched polyethylene or felt, under the
green roof system. Such materials:

-Are impossible to sweep during installation


-Stay wet and encourage root growth and root penetration, and could lead to impeded
drainage; especially detrimental if a woody plant were to become established; such plants
have woody root systems and potentially could cause roof leaks.

B. Experienced Contractor to install slip sheet/root barrier in accordance with


manufacturer’s recommendations.
C. All surfaces to be smooth, free of debris, soil, and grit prior to placing modules. All
materials to be tested water tight and free draining prior to module placement.
D. All surfaces to be maintained clean and free of debris, soil, and grit during installation
process via use of broom. Never walk upon such materials as they may damage
membranes.
3.3 INSTALLATION SEASON
Module Installation to be conducted:

A. When plants are properly adapted and acclimatized to local weather conditions.
B. When weather is above 35° F and there is no ice on the roof and engineered soil is
unfrozen.
C. No later than the cut off date required by the green roof system provider’s warranty
terms, if applicable.

3.4 DELIVERY, STORAGE, HANDLING, PROTECTION

A. Green roof modules are to be delivered in good condition free from shipping damage.
B. If plastic wrapped, modules are to be kept out of the sun to prevent overheating.
C. Modules are to be installed on the roof top within 4 hours of delivery.
D. On the job site, modules are to be handled to prevent damage to the modules themselves
and all roofing components.
E. To ensure optimum plant condition and safety, modules must be conveyed to the roof
using a rack designed specifically for this use and constructed according to engineer
approved and stamped plans. DO NOT stack modules during conveyance to rooftop or
installation.

329500-6
F. Modules are to be conveyed to roof surface with equipment designed to carry the
collective load of the green roof modules and transport vehicle. Account for decreasing
load limits when boom (of crane or fork lift) is extended. Use crane stabilizers and take
all necessary precautions to protect building and personnel.
G. Never exceed the load capacity of the roof deck when placing green roof modules on the
roof.
H. When suspending modules and conveyance vehicle above deck, take precautions to
stabilize and prevent twisting of conveyance vehicle. Four tires or two four inch thick
sheets of Styrofoam is recommended.
I. During installation, protect the roof deck and membranes with appropriate material such
as plywood sheeting. Never scrape or puncture slip sheet or membranes. Keep roof
surfaces free of soil, grit, or debris at all times with broom. Never set modules on top of
soil, dirt or grit.
J. Transport conveyors to be run parallel to the line of installation.
K. Transport carts to have pneumatic tires, to be wheeled about only upon protective

B. Module installation to be conducted in strict accordance with manufacturer installation
guidelines. Surface to be clean and swept free of soil, dirt, stones or grit before placing
each module. Rows to be straight, modules to be tight against each other with edges
overlapping and arranged in proper directional orientation. As soon as one row of
modules is surrounded completely by the parapet, edging, or other modules, pull all of
the plastic soil elevator inserts out of the modules. Pull the soil elevators while standing
on the slip sheet and avoid walking on the plants.
C. Module installation to be conducted in accordance with green roof design.
D. Modules to be placed directly on top of appropriate slip sheet/root barrier.

329500-7
E. It is recommended that any custom cutting/fitting be oriented on the high side (top), or
sides of the roof. It is recommended that the cut side of the module be set tight against the
edging or toward the side of an intact module so as to prevent soil spillage. If custom
cutting must be done on the low, draining, side of the roof, it is imperative that no filter
cloth be inserted as it could impede drainage. It is best to orient the cut side against
another module, facing upstream.
F. After installing modules, they should be immediately watered so as to thoroughly
moisten the media from top to bottom. Water shall be of suitable quality for plant growth
and irrigation system or hoses and sprinklers may be used for such purpose. Note: it takes
approximately 1 inch of water, or 1¼ gallons per module to moisten each module
thoroughly.
3.7 MAINTENANCE

A. Documentation
Record all green roof maintenance events. Include name of person, date and activity.
1. If fertilizer, record type and amount applied per 1000sf
2. If soil test, record lab
3. If irrigation, record duration and quantity

B. Annual Maintenance
1. Soil Testing and Fertilization.

During April 1 to 15 of each year, administer an annual soil test for PH and
fertility levels.
a. Maintain pH in the range of 6.5 to 8.0. In the event that pH is outside of
the 6.5 to 8.0 range, consult the manufacturer for the appropriate
amendment.
b. Maintain fertility in the normal range using a typical field soil fertility test
as provided by A&L labs. When indicated, apply a single springtime
application of Nutricote 14 14 14, Type 180 (180 day release period) or
equivalent, at 20lbs per 1000sf. Follow the Nutricote labeled directions for
application rate, which take priority over any recommendations listed
here. Runoff potential does exist and should be evaluated by the applicator
in accord with the site specifics; the greater the runoff sensitivity, the
lower the application rate. All applications of fertilizer are the sole
responsibility of the applicator.

C. Irrigation
1. Watering

Even in the northern temperate zone of North America, successive watering may
sometimes be needed to keep green roof plants alive. Protracted hot dry weather
can result in plant thinning or death. In warmer climates, depending upon rainfall
and exposure, regular irrigation will probably be required. Regardless of
geography, the installation of an irrigation system is recommended and should be
appropriate to the scale of the project and able to allow for rapid and efficient

329500-8
irrigation when needed as a “temporary” management tool under the following
conditions:

Prolonged hot dry weather, in the northern temperate zone, is generally defined as
periods of 75 degree weather, with less than 1” of rainfall persisting for 4 weeks
or longer. This time period will likely be less if the temperatures are hotter, the
climate warmer, on sloping rooftops, or roofs exposed to strong winds. Such
conditions can dry out the green roof substrate and cause the plants to go dormant
or to dry up and die. Dormant plants tend to shrink to a smaller size and expose
soil, which can predispose the system to weed encroachment.

NOTE: There are no absolutes when it comes to irrigation. Check the plants for
wilting in the morning rather than midday. Irrigate thoroughly to runoff to
remoisten entire soil profile if the plants show signs of wilting in the morning.

In areas of reflected light, such as next to south facing walls, more frequent
irrigation should be applied to keep the soil from becoming excessively dry.

D. Inspections and Plant Care Protocol


Conduct the following EVERY 2 WEEKS (twice per month) During the entire Spring
through Fall Growing Season

1. Conduct hand weeding during the twice monthly inspection. Pull all weeds, never
allow any weed to flower, set seed and complete its life cycle. Weeding should be
conducted spring through fall in areas where the roof becomes frozen and snow-
covered in winter. In warmer climates, it should be continued year round.

The interval may be adjusted in accord with seasonal variations in weed growth,
but the interval should never exceed 2 weeks or be long enough to allow for
weeds to flower and set seed. Never allow woody plants to establish in a green
roof system as their root systems are extensive and can damage roof membranes.

Herbicides, whether pre-emergent or post-emergent, are not recommended as they


are not healthy for the environment and can contaminate runoff. A need for pre-
emergent herbicides is a sign of weeding too infrequently.
2. Displaced Soil
Any displaced soil, typically due to nesting birds, should be immediately
replaced.
3. Drainage Inspection
Roof drains should be cleared of any debris, pebbles, leaves, etc. during the twice
monthly inspection to keep drains flowing freely.
4. Debris / Trash Removal
Remove immediately debris or trash during twice monthly inspection. Especially
during fall and spring, rake green roof planting clean of any matted tree leaves to
prevent smothering.

329500-9
5. Pesticides
Pesticide use is discouraged and should always be considered secondary to
cultural and biological control measures, as pesticides can get into runoff water
and cause environmental damage. Pesticide use should only be conducted by
qualified and licensed applicators, and on an “as needed” basis. All applications
of pesticides are the sole responsibility of the applicator.
6. Optional Mowing
If desired, around April 1, mow the green roof to a height of 2” or less. DO NOT
mow the green roof when the plants are flowering. The clippings should stay on
the roof. Do not bag and remove. USE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
7. Wintertime
Avoid applying salt and other deicing agents to green roof plantings. Avoid
walking on frozen plants and roof surfaces.
E. Apply slow release fertilizer as needed in accord with manufacturer’s directions. DO
NOT fertilize within two months of the first frost. In northern temperate climates, this is
approximately August 15. Avoid runoff into sensitive areas.

3.8 ACCEPTANCE

A. Conduct post installation inspection to determine acceptance of modules. Inspection to be


made by General Contractor’s Representative or by Owner’s Representative upon
General Contractor’s request; five working days notice required.
B. Installer is responsible to ensure proper module/plant maintenance until work has been
accepted by representative of Owner or General Contractor.
C. Upon acceptance, Owner assumes responsibility for module/plant maintenance.

3.9 CLEAN UP

A. Throughout installation, keep all work surfaces clean and free of grit, dirt, or debris. Use
broom not blower, do not sweep soil under modules or slip sheet. Do not place modules
upon soil, dirt, stones or grit. Following installation, remove all excess materials and
tools from job site. Ensure that any damage that occurs as a result of installation is
appropriately and immediately repaired.
