inferred from the Specifications or Drawings as being required to produce the intended result
shall be supplied whether or not it is specifically called for. When words which have a well-
known technical or trade meaning are used to describe Work, materials or equipment, such
words shall be interpreted in accordance with such meaning. Reference to standard
specifications, manuals or codes or any technical society, organization or association, or to
the code of any governmental authority, whether such reference be specific or by
implication, shall mean the latest standard specification, manual or code in affect at the time
of opening of Bids, except as may be otherwise specifically stated. However, no provision of
any referenced standard specification, manual or code (whether or not specifically
incorporated by reference in the Contract Documents) shall change the duties and

ARTICLE 6 CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
Supervision and Superintendence
The CONTRACTOR shall supervise and direct the Work competently and efficiently,
devoting such attention thereto and applying such skills and expertise as may be necessary
to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. The CONTRACTOR shall
be solely responsible for the means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures of
construction, but the CONTRACTOR shall not be solely responsible for the negligence of
others in the design or selection of a specific means, method, technique, sequence or
procedure of construction which is indicated in and required by the Contract Documents.
The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible to see that the finished Work complies accurately
with the Contract Documents.
2. The CONTRACTOR shall keep on the Work at all times during its progress a competent
resident superintendent, who shall not be replaced without written notice to the OWNER and
OWNER except under extraordinary circumstances. The superintendent will be the
CONTRACTOR's representative at the site and shall have authority to act on behalf of the "-
CONTRACTOR. All communications given to the superintendent shall be as binding as if
given to the CONTRACTOR.
Labor, Materials and Equipment
3. The CONTRACTOR shall provide competent, suitably qualified personnel to lay out the
Work and perform construction as required by the Contract Documents. The
CONTRACTOR shall, at all times, maintain good discipline and order at the site. Except in
connection with the safety or protection of persons or the Work or property at the site or
adjacent thereto, all Work at the site shall be performed during regular working hours, and
the CONTRACTOR will not permit the performance of Work on Saturday or Sunday or any
01/26/99
GC -10
legal holiday without the OWNER's written consent given.
4. The CONTRACTOR shall furnish all materials, equipment, labor, transportation, construction
equipment and machinery, tools, appliances, fuel, power, light, heat, telephone, water and
sanitary facilities and all other facilities and incidentals necessary for the execution, testing,
initial operation and completion of the Work.
5. All materials and equipment shall be as specified in the Contract Documents. If required by
the OWNER, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish satisfactory evidence, reports of required
tests, as to the kind and quality of materials and equipment.
6. All materials and equipment shall be applied, installed, connected, erected, used, cleaned
and conditioned in strict accordance with the instructions of the applicable manufacturer,
fabricator, supplier or distributor, except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents.
Equivalent Materials and Equipment
7. Whenever materials or equipment are specified or described in the Drawings or
Specifications by using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular
manufacturer, fabricator, supplier or distributor, the naming of the item is intended to
establish the type, function and quality required. Unless the name is followed by words
indicating that no substitution is permitted, materials or equipment of other manufacturers,
fabricators, suppliers or distributors may be accepted by the ENGINEER if sufficient
information is submitted by the CONTRACTOR to allow the ENGINEER to determine that
the material or equipment proposed is equivalent to that named. The procedure for review
by the ENGINEER will be as set forth in Paragraphs 6.7.a and 6.7.b below.
a. Requests for review of substitute items of material and equipment will not be accepted by
the ENGINEER from anyone other than the CONTRACTOR. If the CONTRACTOR
wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material or equipment, the CONTRACTOR
shall make written application to the ENGINEER for acceptance thereof, certifying that
the proposed substitute will perform adequately the functions called for by the general
design, be similar and of equal substance to that specified and be suited to the same use
and capable of performing the same function as that specified. The application will state
whether or not acceptance of the substitute for use in the Work will require a change in
the Drawings or Specifications to adapt the design to the substitute and whether or not
incorporation or use of the substitute in connection with the Work is subject to payment of
any license fee or royalty. All variations of the proposed substitute from that specified
— shall be identified in the application and available maintenance, repair and replacement
service will be indicated. The application will also contain an itemized estimate of all
costs that will result directly or indirectly from acceptance of such substitute, including
costs of redesign and claims of other contractors affected by the resulting change, all of
which shall be considered by the ENGINEER in evaluating the proposed substitute. The
ENGINEER may require the CONTRACTOR to furnish, at the CONTRACTOR's expense,
additional data about the proposed substitute. The ENGINEER will make the final
-- decision of acceptability, and no substitute will be ordered or installed without the
ENGINEER's prior written acceptance. The OWNER may require the CONTRACTOR to
furnish, at the CONTRACTOR's expense, a special performance guarantee or other
surety with respect to any substitute.
b. The ENGINEER will record time required by the ENGINEER and the ENGINEER's
01/26/99
GC -11
consultants in evaluating substitutions proposed by the CONTRACTOR and in making
changes in the Drawings or Specifications occasioned thereby. Whether or not the
ENGINEER accepts a proposed substitute, the CONTRACTOR shall reimburse the
OWNER for the charges of the ENGINEER and the ENGINEER's consultants for
evaluating any proposed substitute.
Concerning Subcontractors
8. The CONTRACTOR shall not employ any subcontractor or other person or organization
(including those who are to furnish the principal items of material or equipment), whether --
initially or as a substitute, against whom the OWNER may have an objection. A
subcontractor or other person or organization identified in writing to the OWNER by the
CONTRACTOR prior to the Notice of Award and not objected to in writing by the OWNER _
prior to the Notice of Award will be deemed acceptable to the OWNER. Acceptance of any
subcontractor, other person or organization by the OWNER shall not constitute a waiver of
any right of the OWNER to reject defective Work. If the OWNER after due investigation, has
reasonable objection to any subcontractor, other person or organization proposed by the
CONTRACTOR after the Notice of Award, the CONTRACTOR shall submit an acceptable
substitute and the Contract Price shall be increased or decreased by the difference in cost
occasioned by such substitution, and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued. The
CONTRACTOR shall not be required to employ any subcontractor, other person or
organization against whom the Contractor has reasonable objection.
9. The CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible for all acts and omissions of his
subcontractors and of persons and organizations directly or indirectly employed by them and
of persons and organizations for whose acts any of them may be liable to the same extent
that the CONTRACTOR is responsible for the acts and omissions of persons directly
employed by the CONTRACTOR. Nothing in the Contract Documents shall create any
contractual relationship between the OWNER or any subcontractor or other person or
organization having a direct contract with the CONTRACTOR, nor shall it create any
obligation on the part of the OWNER to pay or to see to the payment of any moneys due any
subcontractor or other person or organization, except as may otherwise be required by law.
The OWNER may furnish to any subcontractor or other person or organization, to the extent -y
practicable, evidence of amounts paid to the CONTRACTOR on account of specific Work
done.
10. The sections of the Specifications and the identification of any Drawings shall not control the
CONTRACTOR in dividing the Work among subcontractors or delineating the Work to be
performed by any specific trade.
11. All work performed for the CONTRACTOR by a subcontractor will be pursuant to an
appropriate agreement between the CONTRACTOR and the subcontractor which
specifically binds the subcontractor to the applicable terms and conditions of the Contract
Documents for the benefit of the OWNER and the ENGINEER and contains waiver
provisions as required by Paragraphs 5.6 through 5.8. The CONTRACTOR shall pay each
subcontractor a just share of any insurance moneys received by the CONTRACTOR on
account of losses under policies issued pursuant to Paragraphs 5.6 and 5.7.

12. The CONTRACTOR shall pay all license fees and royalties and assume all costs incident to
the use in the performance of the Work or the incorporation in the Work of any invention,
design, process, product or device which is subject to patent rights or copyrights held by
others. If a particular invention, design, process, product or device is specified in the
Contract Documents for use in the performance of the Work and if to the actual knowledge
of the OWNER its use is subject to patent rights or copyrights calling for the payment of any
license fee or royalty to others, the existence of such rights shall be disclosed by the
OWNER in the Contract Documents. The CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and hold
harmless the OWNER and anyone directly or indirectly employed by either of them from and
against all claims, damages, losses and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of
any infringement of patent rights or copyrights incident to the use in the performance of the
Work or resulting from the incorporation in the Work of any invention, design, process,
product or device not specified in the Contract Documents, and shall defend all such claims
in connection with any alleged infringement of such rights.
Permits
13. Unless otherwise provided in the Supplemental General Conditions, the CONTRACTOR
-- shall obtain and pay for all construction permits and licenses. The OWNER may assist the
CONTRACTOR, when necessary, in obtaining such permits and licenses. The
CONTRACTOR shall pay all governmental charges and inspection fees necessary for the
prosecution of the Work which are applicable at the time of opening of Bids. The
CONTRACTOR shall pay all charges of utility service companies for connections to the
Work, and the OWNER shall pay all charges of such companies for capital costs related
thereto.
Laws and Regulations
14. The CONTRACTOR shall give all notices and comply with all laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations applicable to the Work. If the CONTRACTOR observes that the Specifications
or Drawings are at variance therewith, the CONTRACTOR shall give the OWNER prompt
written notice thereof, and any necessary changes shall be adjusted by an appropriate
Modification. If the CONTRACTOR performs any Work knowing or having reason to know
that it is contrary to such laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, and without such notice to
the OWNER, the CONTRACTOR shall bear all costs arising therefrom; however, it shall not
be the CONTRACTOR's primary responsibility to make certain that the Specifications and
Drawings are in accordance with such laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.
Taxes
15. The CONTRACTOR shall pay all sales, consumer, use and other similar taxes required to
.._ be paid by him in accordance with the law of the place of the PROJECT.
Use of Premises
16. The CONTRACTOR shall confine construction equipment, the storage of materials and
equipment and the operations of workmen to areas permitted by law, ordinances,
easements, permits or the requirements of the Contract Documents, and shall not
unreasonably encumber the premises with construction equipment or other materials or
equipment. The CONTRACTOR shall assume full responsibility for any damage to any such

the Contract Price or the Contract Time, which are consistent with the overall intent of the
Contract Documents. These may be accomplished by a Field Order and shall be binding on
the OWNER, and also on the CONTRACTOR, who shall perform the change promptly. If
the CONTRACTOR believes that a Field Order justifies an increase in the Contract Price or
Contract Time, the CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11 or

demand for additional cost or profit in connection therewith will be valid.
ARTICLE 12 CHANGE OF THE CONTRACT TIME
The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order. Any claim for an extension in
the Contract Time shall be based on written notice delivered to the OWNER and the
ENGINEER within fifteen (15) days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim.
Notice of the extent of the claim with supporting data shall be delivered within thirty (30)
days of such occurrence unless the ENGINEER allows an additional period of time to
ascertain more accurate data. All claims for adjustment in the Contract Time shall be
determined by the ENGINEER if the OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot otherwise agree.
Any change in the Contract Time resulting from any such claim shall be incorporated in a
Change Order.
2. The Contract Time will be extended in an amount equal to time lost due to delays beyond
the control of the CONTRACTOR if a claim is made therefor as provided in Paragraph 12.1. !
Such delays shall include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect by the OWNER or others
performing additional Work as contemplated by Article 7, or to fires, floods, labor disputes,
epidemics, abnormal weather conditions or acts of God. —
3. All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Agreement. The
provisions of this Article 12 shall not include recovery for damages (including compensation
for additional professional services) for delay by either party.

CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK
Warranty and Guarantee
The CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees to the OWNER that all Work will be in

defects shall be given to the CONTRACTOR. All defective Work, whether or not in place,
may be rejected, corrected or accepted as provided in this Article 13.
Access to Work
2. The ENGINEER's representatives, other representatives of the OWNER, testing agencies
and governmental agencies with jurisdictional interests will have access to the Work at

01/26/99
GC -26
Tests and Observations
3. The CONTRACTOR shall give the OWNER or ENGINEER timely notice of readiness of the
Work for all required observations, tests or approvals.
4. If any law, ordinance, rule, regulation, code or order of any public body having jurisdiction
requires any Work (or part thereof) to specifically be observed, tested or approved, the
CONTRACTOR shall assume full responsibility therefor, pay all costs in connection
— therewith and furnish the ENGINEER the required certificates of observation, testing or
approval. The CONTRACTOR shall also be responsible for and shall pay all costs in
connection with any observation or testing required in connection with the OWNER's
acceptance of a manufacturer, fabricator, supplier or distributor of materials or equipment
proposed to be incorporated in the Work, or of materials or equipment submitted for
approval prior to the CONTRACTOR's purchase thereof for incorporation in the Work. The
cost of all other observations, tests and approvals required by the Contract Documents shall
be paid by the OWNER, unless otherwise specified.
5. All observations, tests or approvals other than those required by law, ordinance, rule,
-- regulation, code or order of any public body having jurisdiction shall be performed by
organizations acceptable to the OWNER and CONTRACTOR.
— 6. If any Work that is to be observed, tested or approved is covered without written
concurrence of the OWNER or ENGINEER, it must, if requested by the OWNER or
ENGINEER, be uncovered for observation. Such uncovering shall be at the
CONTRACTOR's expense unless the CONTRACTOR has given the OWNER or ENGINEER
timely notice of the CONTRACTOR's intention to cover such Work and the ENGINEER has
not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice.
7. Neither observations by the OWNER or ENGINEER nor observations, tests or approvals by
others shall relieve the CONTRACTOR from his obligations to perform the Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents.
Uncovering Work
8. If any work is covered contrary to the written request of the OWNER or ENGINEER, it must,
if requested by the OWNER or ENGINEER, be uncovered for the OWNER's or ENGINEER's
observation and replaced at the CONTRACTOR's expense.
9. If the OWNER or ENGINEER considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be
observed by the OWNER or ENGINEER or inspected or tested by others, the
CONTRACTOR, at the OWNER's or ENGINEER's request, shall uncover, expose or
otherwise make available for observation, inspection or testing as the OWNER's or
ENGINEER may require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all necessary labor,
material and equipment. If it is found that such Work is defective, the CONTRACTOR shall
bear all expenses of such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection and testing and of
satisfactory reconstruction, including compensation to the OWNER for additional
professional services, and an appropriate deductive Change Order shall be issued. If,
however, such Work is not found to be defective, the CONTRACTOR shall be allowed an
-- increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time, or both, directly
attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection, testing and
01/26/99
GC -27
reconstruction if he makes a claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12.
OWNER May Stop the Work
10. If the Work is defective, or the CONTRACTOR fails to supply sufficient skilled workmen or
suitable materials or equipment, the OWNER may order the CONTRACTOR to stop the --
Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however,
this right of the OWNER to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of the
OWNER to exercise this right for the benefit of the CONTRACTOR or any other party. _
Correction or Removal of Defective Work
11. If required by the OWNER or ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost to
the OWNER and as specified by the ENGINEER, either correct any defective Work, whether
or not fabricated, installed or completed, or, if the Work has been rejected by the OWNER or
ENGINEER, remove it from the site and replace it with non -defective Work.
One Year Correction Period
12. If, within one (1) year after the date of Substantial Completion or such longer period of time
as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required by
the Contract Documents or by any specific provision of the Contract Documents, any Work
is found to be defective, the CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost to the OWNER and
in accordance with the OWNER's written instructions, either correct such defective Work, or,
if it has been rejected by the OWNER, remove it from the site and replace it with non -
defective Work. If the CONTRACTOR does not promptly comply with the terms of such
instructions, or in an emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss or damage,
the OWNER may have the defective Work corrected or the rejected Work removed and
replaced, and all direct and indirect costs of such removal and replacement, including
compensation for additional professional services, shall be paid by the CONTRACTOR.
Acceptance of Defective Work
13. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, the
OWNER prefers to accept it, the OWNER may do so. In such case, if acceptance occurs
prior to the OWNER's final payment, a Change Order shall be issued incorporating the
necessary revisions in the Contract Documents, including appropriate reduction in the
Contract Price; or, if the acceptance occurs after such recommendation, an appropriate
amount shall be paid by the CONTRACTOR to the OWNER.
OWNER May Correct Defective Work
14. If the CONTRACTOR fails within a reasonable time after written notice of the ENGINEER to
proceed to correct defective Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by
the OWNER or ENGINEER in accordance with Paragraph 13.11, or if the CONTRACTOR
fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents (including any
requirements of the progress schedule), the OWNER may, after seven (7) days of the
written notice to the CONTRACTOR, correct and remedy any such deficiency. In exercising
his rights under this paragraph, the OWNER shall proceed expeditiously. To the extent
necessary to complete corrective and remedial action, the OWNER may exclude the
01/26/99
GC -28
CONTRACTOR from all or part of the site, take possession of all or part of the Work, and
suspend the CONTRACTOR's services related thereto, take possession of the
CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the site and
incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which the
OWNER has paid the CONTRACTOR, but which are stored elsewhere. The
CONTRACTOR shall allow the OWNER, OWNER's representatives, agents and employees
such access to the site as may be necessary to enable the OWNER to exercise his rights
under this paragraph. All direct and indirect costs of the OWNER in exercising such rights
shall be charged against the CONTRACTOR in an amount verified by the ENGINEER, and a
Change Order shall be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract
Documents and a reduction in the Contract Price. Such direct and indirect costs shall
include, in particular but without limitation, compensation for additional professional services
required and all costs of repair and replacement of Work of others destroyed or damaged by
correction, removal or replacement of the CONTRACTOR's defective Work. The
— CONTRACTOR shall not be allowed an extension of the Contract Time because of any
delay in performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by the OWNER of OWNER's
rights hereunder.
ARTICLE 14 PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION
_ Schedules
1. At least ten (10) days prior to submitting the first Application for a progress payment, the
CONTRACTOR shall submit to the OWNER a progress schedule, a final schedule of Shop
Drawing submission and, where applicable, a schedule of values of the Work. These
schedules shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the OWNER. The schedule of
values shall include quantities and unit prices aggregating the Contract Price, and shall
subdivide the Work into component parts in sufficient detail to serve as the basis for
progress payments during construction. Upon acceptance of the schedule of values by the
OWNER, it shall be incorporated into a form of Application for Payment acceptance to the
., OWNER.
Application for Progress Pavment
2. At least ten (10) days before each progress payment falls due, but not more than once a
month, the CONTRACTOR shall submit to the ENGINEER for review an Application for
Payment filled out and signed by the CONTRACTOR covering the Work completed as of the
date of the Application and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required
by the Contract Documents and also as the OWNER may reasonably require. If payment is
requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but
delivered and suitably stored at the site or any other location agreed to in writing, the
Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by such data, satisfactory to the
OWNER, as will establish the OWNER's title to the material and equipment and protect the
OWNER's interest therein, including applicable insurance. Each subsequent Application for
Payment shall include an affidavit of the CONTRACTOR stating that all previous progress
payments received on account of the Work have been applied to discharge in full all of the
CONTRACTOR's obligations reflected in prior Applications for Payment. The amount of
retained with respect to progress payments will be five percent (5%) of the amount paid.
01/26/99
GC -29
CONTRACTOR'S Warranty of Title
The CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment
covered by any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the PROJECT or not, will
pass to the OWNER at the time of payment free and clear of all liens, claims, security --
interests and encumbrances, hereafter in these General Conditions referred to as "Liens".
Review of Applications for Progress Payments
4. The ENGINEER will, within ten (10) days after receipt of each Application for Payment,
either approve of payment or return the Application to the CONTRACTOR indicating in
writing the ENGINEER's reasons for refusing to recommend payment. In the latter case, the
CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. The
OWNER shall, within thirty (30) days of presentation to him of the Application for Payment,
pay the CONTRACTOR the amount recommended by the ENGINEER. —
5. The OWNER's approval of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will
constitute a representation by the OWNER, based on the OWNER's or ENGINEER's on-site —
observations of the Work in progress as an experienced and qualified design professional
and on the OWNER's review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and
schedules that the Work has progressed to the point indicated; that, to the best of the
OWNER's or ENGINEER's knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the Work is in
accordance with the Contract Documents subject to an evaluation of the Work as a
functioning PROJECT upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests
called for in the Contract Documents and any qualifications stated in the recommendation;
and that the CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment of the amount recommended. However,
by recommending any such payment, the ENGINEER will not thereby be deemed to have
represented that exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections have been made to check the
quality or the quantity of the Work, or that the means, methods, techniques, sequences and
procedures of construction have been reviewed or that any examination has been made to
ascertain how or for what purpose the CONTRACTOR has used the moneys paid or to be
paid to the CONTRACTOR on account of the Contract Price, or that title to any Work,
materials or equipment has passed to the OWNER free and clear of any Liens.
5.a The OWNER may retain five percent (5%) of the amount of each payment until final --
completion and acceptance of all work covered by the Contract Documents. When the work
is substantially complete (operational or beneficial occupancy), the retained amount may be
further reduced below five percent (5%) to only that amount necessary to assure completion. _.
On completion and acceptance of a part of the work on which the price is stated separately
in the Contract Documents, payment may be made in full, including retained percentages,
less authorized deductions.
6. The OWNER's approval of final payment will constitute an additional representation that the
conditions precedent to the CONTRACTOR's being entitled to final payment as set forth in
Paragraph 14.13 have been fulfilled.
7. The ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in his
opinion, it would be incorrect to make such representations to the OWNER. He may also
refuse to recommend any such payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence
01/26/99
GC -30
or the results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously
recommended to such extent as may be necessary in the ENGINEER's opinion to protect
the OWNER from loss because:
a. The Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged, requiring
correction or replacement;
b. written claims have been made against the OWNER or Liens have been filed in
connection with the Work;
c. the Contract Price has been reduced because of Modifications;
d. the OWNER has been required to correct defective Work or complete the Work in
accordance with Paragraph 13.14;
e. of the CONTRACTOR's unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents; or
f. the CONTRACTOR's failure to make payment to subcontractors, or for labor, materials or
equipment.
Substantial Completion
8. When the CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use, the
CONTRACTOR shall, in writing to the OWNER and the ENGINEER, certify that the entire
Work is substantially complete and request that the ENGINEER issue a statement of
Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter, the OWNER, CONTRACTOR
and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion.
If the ENGINEER does not consider the Work substantially complete, the ENGINEER will
notify the CONTRACTOR in writing, giving his reasons therefor. If the ENGINEER does
consider the Work substantially complete, the ENGINEER will prepare and deliver to the
OWNER a tentative statement of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of
Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the statement a tentative list of items to
be completed or corrected before final payment. At the time of issuance of the tentative
statement of Substantial Completion, the ENGINEER will deliver to the CONTRACTOR a
written recommendation as to division of responsibilities pending final payment between the
OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, heat,
utilities and insurance. Unless the OWNER or CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing
-- and so inform the ENGINEER in writing prior to the ENGINEER's issuing the definitive
certificate of Substantial Completion, the ENGINEER's aforesaid recommendation will be
binding on the OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment.
9. The OWNER shall have the right to exclude the CONTRACTOR from the Work after the
date of Substantial Completion, but the OWNER shall allow the CONTRACTOR reasonable
access to complete or correct items on the tentative list.
Partial Utilization
10. Use by the OWNER of completed portions of the Work may be accomplished prior to
Substantial Completion of all the Work subject to the following:
01/26/99
GC -31
a. The OWNER at any time may request the CONTRACTOR in writing to permit the
OWNER to use any part of the Work which the OWNER believes to be substantially
complete and which may be so used without significant interference with construction of
the other parts of the Work. If the CONTRACTOR agrees, the CONTRACTOR will certify
to the OWNER and the ENGINEER that said part of the Work is substantially complete
and request the OWNER and the ENGINEER issue a statement of Substantial
Completion for that part of the Work. Within a reasonable time thereafter, the OWNER,
ENGINEER and CONTRACTOR shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to
determine its status of completion. If the ENGINEER does not consider that part of the
Work to be substantially complete, the ENGINEER will notify the OWNER and the
CONTRACTOR in writing, giving his reasons therefor. If the ENGINEER considers that
part of the Work to be substantially complete, the ENGINEER will execute and deliver to
the CONTRACTOR a statement to that effect, fixing the date of Substantial Completion
as to that part of the Work, attaching thereto a tentative list of items to be completed or
corrected before final payment. Prior to issuing a statement of Substantial Completion as
to part of the work, the ENGINEER will deliver to the CONTRACTOR a written
recommendation as to the division of responsibilities pending final payment between the
OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance,
utilities and insurance for that part of the Work which shall become binding upon the
OWNER and CONTRACTOR at the time of issuing the definitive statement of Substantial
Completion as to that part of the Work unless the OWNER and CONTRACTOR shall
have otherwise agreed in writing. The OWNER shall have the right to exclude the
CONTRACTOR from any part of the Work which the OWNER has so stated to be
substantially complete, but the OWNER shall allow the CONTRACTOR reasonable
access to complete or correct items on the tentative list.
b. In lieu of the issuance of a statement of Substantial Completion as to part of the Work,
the OWNER may take over operation of a facility constituting part of the Work whether or
not it is substantially complete if such facility is functionally and separately usable;
provided that prior to any such takeover, the OWNER and CONTRACTOR have agreed
as to the division of responsibilities between the OWNER and CONTRACTOR for
security, operation, safety, maintenance, correction period, heat, utilities and insurance
with respect to such facility.
c. No occupancy of a part of the Work or taking over of operations of a facility will be
accomplished prior to compliance with the requirements of Paragraph 5.12 in respect of
property insurance.
Final Inspection
11. Upon written notice from the CONTRACTOR that the Work is complete, the ENGINEER will
make a final inspection with CONTRACTOR and will notify the CONTRACTOR in writing of
all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective. The
CONTRACTOR shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to remedy such
deficiencies.
Final Application for Payment
01/26/99
GC -32
12. After the CONTRACTOR has completed all such corrections to the satisfaction of the
ENGINEER and delivered all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules,
guarantees, Bonds, certificates of inspection, marked -up record documents and other
documents, all as required by the Contract Documents, and after the ENGINEER has
indicated that the Work is acceptable subject to the provisions of Paragraph 14.16, the
CONTRACTOR may make application for final payment following the procedure for progress
payments. The final Application for Payment shall be accompanied by all documentation
called for in the Contract Documents and such other data and schedules as the OWNER
may reasonably require, together with complete and legally effective releases or waivers
(satisfactory to OWNER) of all Liens arising out of or filed in connection with the Work. In
lieu thereof, and as approved by the OWNER, the CONTRACTOR may furnish receipts or
releases in full; an affidavit of the CONTRACTOR that the releases and receipts include all
labor, services, material and equipment for which a Lien could be filed, and that all payrolls,
material and equipment bills, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the
OWNER or his property might in any way be responsible, have been paid or otherwise
satisfied; and consent of the Surety, if any, to final payment. If any subcontractor,
manufacturer, fabricator, supplier or distributor fails to furnish a release or receipt in full, the
CONTRACTOR may furnish a Bond or other collateral satisfactory to the OWNER to
indemnify the OWNER against any Lien.
Final Payment and Acceptance
13. If, on the basis of the ENGINEER's observation of the Work during construction and final
inspection, and the ENGINEER's review of the final Application for Payment and
accompanying documentation, all as required by the Contract Documents, the ENGINEER is
—' satisfied that the Work has been completed and the CONTRACTOR has fulfilled all of his
obligations under the Contract Documents, the ENGINEER will, within ten (10) days after
receipt of the final Application for Payment, indicate in writing the ENGINEER's
recommendations of payment and present the Application for Payment to the Owner. At the
same time the ENGINEER will also give written notice to the OWNER and the
CONTRACTOR that the Work is acceptable subject to the provisions of Paragraph 14.15.
Otherwise, the ENGINEER will return the Application to the CONTRACTOR, indicating in
writing the reasons for refusing to approve final payment, in which case the CONTRACTOR
shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. If the Application and
accompanying documentation are appropriate as to form and substance and with the
ENGINEER's recommendation, the OWNER shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt
thereof, pay the CONTRACTOR the recommended amount.
14. If, through no fault of the CONTRACTOR, final completion of the Work is significantly
delayed thereof and if the ENGINEER so confirms, the OWNER shall, upon receipt of the
CONTRACTOR's final Application for Payment and recommendation of the ENGINEER, and
without terminating the Agreement, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the
Work fully completed or accepted. If the remaining balance to be held by the OWNER for
Work not fully completed or corrected is less than the retained stipulated in the Agreement,
and if Bonds have been furnished as required in Paragraph 5.1, the written consent of the
Surety to the payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and
accepted shall be submitted by the CONTRACTOR to the ENGINEER with the Application
for such payment. Such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing
final payment, except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims.
01/26/99
GC -33
CONTRACTOR's Continuing Obligation
15. The CONTRACTOR's obligation to perform and complete the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents shall be absolute. Neither issuance of a statement of Substantial
Completion, nor any payment by the OWNER to the CONTRACTOR under the Contract
Documents, nor any use or occupancy of the Work or any part thereof by the OWNER, not
any act of acceptance by the OWNER nor any failure to do so, nor the issuance of a notice
of acceptability by the ENGINEER pursuant to Paragraph 14.13, nor any correction of
defective Work by OWNER shall constitute an acceptance of Work not in accordance with
the Contract Documents or a release of the CONTRACTOR's obligation to perform the Work
in accordance with the Contract Documents.
Waiver of Claims
16. The making and acceptance of final payment shall constitute:
a waiver of all claims by the OWNER against the CONTRACTOR, except claims arising
from unsettled Liens, from defective Work appearing after final inspection pursuant to
Paragraph 14.11 or from failure to comply with the Contract Documents or the terms of
any special guarantees specified therein; however, it shall not constitute a waiver by the
OWNER of any rights in respect of the CONTRACTOR's continuing obligations under the
Contract Documents; and
b. a waiver of all claims made by the CONTRACTOR against the OWNER other than those
previously made in writing and still unsettled.
ARTICLE 15 SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION
OWNER May Suspend Work
The OWNER may, at any time and without cause, suspend the Work or any portion thereof
for a period of not more than ninety (90) days by notice in writing to the CONTRACTOR and
ENGINEER which shall fix the date on which Work shall be resumed. The CONTRACTOR
shall resume the Work on the date so fixed. The CONTRACTOR will be allowed an
increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time, or both, directly
attributable to any suspension if he makes a claim therefor as provided in Article 11 and 12.
OWNER May Terminate
2. Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:
a. if the CONTRACTOR is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;
b. if the CONTRACTOR makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
c. if a trustee or receiver is appointed for the CONTRACTOR or for any of the
CONTRACTOR's property;
01/26/99
GC -34
d. if the CONTRACTOR files a petition to take advantage of any debtor's act, or to
reorganize under the bankruptcy or similar laws;
e. if the CONTRACTOR repeatedly fails to supply sufficient skilled workmen or suitable
materials or equipment;
f. if the CONTRACTOR repeatedly fails to make prompt payments to subcontractors or for
labor, materials, or equipment;
g. if the CONTRACTOR disregards laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and orders of any
public body having jurisdiction,-
h.
urisdiction;
h. if the CONTRACTOR disregards the authority of the ENGINEER; or
i. if the CONTRACTOR otherwise violates in any substantial way any provisions of the
Contract Documents;
The OWNER may, after giving the CONTRACTOR and his Surety seven (7) days' written
notice, terminate the services of the CONTRACTOR, exclude the CONTRACTOR from the
site and take possession of the Work and of all the CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances,
construction equipment and machinery at the site and use the same to the full extent they
could be used by the CONTRACTOR (without liability to the CONTRACTOR for trespass or
conversion), incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for
which the OWNER has paid the CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere, and finish
the Work as the OWNER may deem expedient. In such case, the CONTRACTOR shall not
be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of
the Contract Price exceeds the direct and indirect costs of completing the Work, including
compensation for additional professional services, such excess shall be paid to the
CONTRACTOR. If such costs exceed such unpaid balance, the CONTRACTOR shall pay
the difference to the OWNER. Such costs incurred by the OWNER shall be incorporated in
a Change Order, but in finishing the Work, the OWNER shall not be required to obtain the
lowest figure for the work performed.
3. Where the CONTRACTOR's services have been so terminated by the OWNER, the
termination shall not affect any rights of the OWNER against the CONTRACTOR then
existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of moneys due the
CONTRACTOR by the OWNER will not release the CONTRACTOR from liability.
4. Upon seven (7) days' written notice to the CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER, the OWNER
may, without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, elect to abandon the
Work and terminate the Agreement. In such case, the CONTRACTOR shall be paid for all
Work executed and any expense sustained plus reasonable termination expenses.
CONTRACTOR May Stop Work or Terminate
5. If, through no act or fault of the CONTRACTOR, the Work is suspended for a period of more
than ninety (90) days by the OWNER or under an order of court of other public authority, or
the ENGINEER fails to act on any Application for Payment within thirty (30) days after it is
submitted, or the OWNER fails for sixty (60) days to pay the CONTRACTOR any sum finally
01/26/99
GC -35
determined by the ENGINEER to be due, then the CONTRACTOR may, upon seven (7)
days' written notice to the OWNER and the ENGINEER, and provided the OWNER or the
ENGINEER do not remedy such suspension or failure within that time, terminate the
Agreement and recover from the OWNER payment for all Work executed and any expense
sustained plus reasonable termination expenses. In addition, and in lieu of terminating the
Agreement, if the ENGINEER has failed to act on an Application for payment or the OWNER
has failed to make any payment as aforesaid, the CONTRACTOR may upon seven (7) days'
written notice to the OWNER, stop the Work until payment of all amounts then due. The
provisions of this paragraph shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR of his obligations under
Paragraph 6.29 to carry on the Work in accordance with the progress schedule and without
delay during disputes and disagreements with the OWNER.
ARTICLE 16 ARBITRATION
All claims, disputes and other matters in question between the OWNER and CONTRACTOR
arising out of, or relating to the Contract Documents or the breach thereof, except for claims
which have been waived by the making or acceptance of final payment as provided by
Paragraph 14.16 may be decided by arbitration in accordance with the Construction Industry --
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then pertaining subject to the
limitations of this Article 16. This agreement so to arbitrate and any other agreement or
consent to arbitrate entered into in accordance herewith as provided in this Article 16 will be

reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in question has arisen, and in no
event shall any such demand be made after institution of legal or equitable proceedings
based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable
statue of limitations.
No arbitration arising out of or relating to the Contract Documents shall include by
consolidation, joinder or in any other manner any other person or entity, his agents,
employees or consultants, who is not a party to this Agreement unless;
a. the inclusions of such other person or entity is necessary if compete relief is to be
afforded among those who are already parties to the arbitration,-
b.
rbitration;b. such other person or entity is substantially involved in a question of law or fact which is
common to those who are already parties to the arbitration and which shall arise in such
proceedings; and
c. the written consent of the other person or entity sought to be included and of the OWNER
and CONTRACTOR has been obtained for such inclusion, which consent shall make
specific reference to this paragraph; but no such consent shall constitute consent to
arbitration of any dispute not specifically described in such consent or to arbitration with
any other party not specifically identified in such consent.
