been utilized in preparing the Contract Documents.
4.2.2. CONTRACTOR may rely upon the general accuracy of the "technical data" contained in such
reports and drawings. Such "technical data" is identified in the Supplementary Conditions. Except for such
reliance on such "technical data," CONTRACTOR may not rely upon or make any claim against OWNER,

6.1. CONTRACTOR shall supervise and direct the Work competently and efficiently, devoting such
attention thereto and applying such skills and expertise as may be necessary to perform the Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents. CONTRACTOR shall be solely responsible for the means,
methods, techniques, sequences and procedures of construction, but CONTRACTOR shall not be responsible
for the negligence of others in the design or specification of a specific means, method, technique, sequence
or procedure of construction which is shown or indicated in and expressly required by the Contract
Documents. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible to see that the finished Work complies accurately with the
Contract Documents.
6.2. CONTRACTOR shall keep on the Work, at all times during its progress, a competent resident
superintendent, who shall not be replaced without written notice to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL except
under extraordinary circumstances. The superintendent will be CONTRACTOR's representative at the site
and shall have authority to act on behalf of CONTRACTOR. All communications to the superintendent shall
be as binding as if given to CONTRACTOR.
Labor, Materials and Equipment:
6.3. CONTRACTOR shall provide competent, suitably qualified personnel to survey and layout the
Work and perform construction as required by the Contract Documents. CONTRACTOR shall at all times
maintain good discipline and order at the site. Except in connection with the safety or protection of persons
or the Work or property at the site or adjacent thereto, and except as otherwise indicated in the Contract

equipment shall be applied, installed, connected, erected, used, cleaned and conditioned in accordance with
the instructions of the applicable Supplier except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents; but no
provision of any such instructions will be effective to assign to PROFESSIONAL, or any of PROFESSIONAL's

of the Work or any duty or authority to undertake responsibility contrary to the provisions of paragraph 9.14
or9.15.
Adjusting Progress Schedule:

I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
6.7.1. Whenever materials or equipment are specified or described in the Contract Documents by
using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular Supplier, the naming of the item is intended
to establish the type, function and quality required. Unless the name is followed by words indicating that no
substitution is permitted, materials or equipment of other Suppliers may be accepted by PROFESSIONAL if
sufficient information is submitted by CONTRACTOR to allow PROFESSIONAL to determine that the material
or equipment proposed is equivalent or equal to that named. The procedure for review by PROFESSIONAL
will include the following as supplemented in the General Requirements. Requests for review of substitute
items of material and equipment will not be accepted by PROFESSIONAL from anyone other than
CONTRACTOR. If CONTRACTOR wishes to furnish or use a substitute item of material or equipment,
CONTRACTOR shall make written application to PROFESSIONAL for acceptance thereof, certifying that the
proposed substitute will perform adequately the functions and achieve the results called for by the general
design, be similar and of equal substance to that specified and be suited to the same use as that specified.
The application will state that the evaluation and acceptance of the proposed substitute will not prejudice
CONTRACTOR's achievement of Substantial Completion on time, whether or not acceptance of the substitute
for use in the Work will require a change in any of the Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any other
direct contract with OWNER for work on the Project) to adapt the design to the proposed substitute and
whether or not incorporation or use of the substitute in connection with the Work is subject to payment of any
license fee or royalty. All variations of the proposed substitute from that specified will be identified in the
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 PROFESSIONAL. In evaluating the proposed substitute, PROFESSIONAL may
require CONTRACTOR to furnish, at CONTRACTOR's expense, additional data about the proposed
substitute.
6.7.2. If a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is indicated in
or required by the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR may furnish or utilize a substitute means, method,
sequence, technique or procedure of construction acceptable to PROFESSIONAL, if CONTRACTOR submits
sufficient information to allow PROFESSIONAL to determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to that
indicated or required by the Contract Documents. The procedure for review by PROFESSIONAL will be similar
to that provided in paragraph 6.7.1 as applied by PROFESSIONAL and as may be supplemented in the Gen-
eral Requirements.
6.7.3. PROFESSIONAL will be allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each proposed
substitute. PROFESSIONAL will be the sole judge of acceptability and no substitute will be ordered, installed
or utilized without PROFESSIONAL's prior wrillen acceptance which will be evidenced by either a Change
Order or an approved Shop Drawing. OWNER may require CONTRACTOR to furnish, at CONTRACTOR's
expense, a special performance guarantee or other surety with respect to any substitute. PROFESSIONAL
will record time required by PROFESSIONAL and PROFESSIONAL's consultants in evaluating substitutions
proposed by CONTRACTOR and in making changes in the Contract Documents occasioned thereby.
Whether or not PROFESSIONAL accepts a proposed substitute, CONTRACTOR shall reimburse OWNER
for the charges of PROFESSIONAL and PROFESSIONAL's consultants for evaluating each proposed
substitute.
Concerning Subcontractors, Suppliers and Others:
6.8.1. CONTRACTOR shall not employ any Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization
(including those acceptable to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL as indicated in paragraph 6.8.2) whether initially
or as a substitute, against whom OWNER or PROFESSIONAL may have reasonable objection.
CONTRACTOR shall not be required to employ any Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization

6.8.2. If the Supplementary Conditions require the identity of certain Subcontractors, Suppliers or
other persons or organizations including those who are to furnish the principal items of materials and
equipment to be submitted to OWNER prior to the Effective Date of the Agreement for acceptance by
OWNER and PROFESSIONAL and if CONTRACTOR has submitted a list thereof in accordance with the
Supplementary Conditions, OWNER's or PROFESSIONAL's acceptance (either in writing or by failing to make
written objection thereto by the date indicated for acceptance or objection in the bidding documents or the
Contract Documents) of any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization so identified may
be revoked on the basis of reasonable objection after due investigation, in which case CONTRACTOR shall
submit an acceptable substitute, the Contract Price will be increased by the difference, and the cost
occasioned by such substitution and an appropriate Change Order will be issued or Written Amendment
signed. No acceptance by OWNER or PROFESSIONAL of any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person
or organization shall constitute a waiver of any right of OWNER or PROFESSIONAL to reject defective Work.
6.9. CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL for all acts and
omissions of the Subcontractors, Suppliers and other persons and organizations performing or furnishing any
of the Work under a direct or indirect contract with CONTRACTOR just as CONTRACTOR is responsible for
CONTRACTOR's own acts and omissions. Nothing in the Contract Documents shall create any contractual
relationship between OWNER or PROFESSIONAL and any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or
organization, nor shall it create any obligation on the part of OWNER or PROFESSIONAL to payor to see to
the payment of any moneys due any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or organization except as
may otherwise be required by Laws and Regulations.
6.10. The divisions and sections of the Specifications and the identifications of any Drawings shall
not control CONTRACTOR in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or Suppliers or delineating the Work
to be performed by any specific trade.
6.11. All Work performed for CONTRACTOR by a Subcontractor will be pursuant to an appropriate
agreement between CONTRACTOR and the Subcontractor which specifically binds the Subcontractor to the
applicable terms and conditions of the Contract Documents for the benefit of OWNER and PROFESSIONAL

a just share of any insurance moneys received by CONTRACTOR on account of losses under policies issued
pursuant to paragraphs 5.6 and 5.7.
Patent Fees and Royalties:
I
I
6.12. CONTRACTOR shall pay all license fees and royalties and assume all costs incident to the use
in the performance of the Work or the incorporation in the Work of any invention, design, process, product
or device which is the subject of patent rights or copyrights held by others. CONTRACTOR shall indemnify
and hold harmless OWNER and PROFESSIONAL and anyone directly or indirectly employed by either of
them from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses including attorneys' fees and court and
arbitration costs arising out of any infringement on 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:
I
I
I
6.13. CONTRACTOR shall obtain and pay for all construction permits, licenses, governmental
charges and inspection fees, and all public utility charges which are applicable and necessary for the
execution of the Work. All permit costs shall be included in the base bid. Permits, if any, that are provided and

compliance with any laws or Regulations.
6.14.2. If CONTRACTOR observes that any of the Contract Documents are contradictory to such
laws, rules, and regulations, it will notify the Project Manager promptly in writing. Any necessary changes shall
then be adjusted by an appropriate Change Order. If CONTRACTOR performs any Work that it knows or
should have known to be contrary to such laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations and without such notice
to the Project Manager, it shall bear all related costs.

6.16. CONTRACTOR shall confine construction equipment, the storage of materials and equipment
and the operations of workers to the Project site and land and areas identified in and permitted by the Contract
Documents and other land and areas permitted by laws and Regulations, rights-ot-way, permits and
easements. CONTRACTOR shall not unreasonably encumber the premises with construction equipment or
other materials or equipment. Any loss or damage to CONTRACTOR's or any Subcontractor's equipment is
solely at the risk of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR shall assume full responsibility for any damage to any
such land or area, or to the OWNER or occupant thereof or of any land or areas contiguous thereto, resulting
from the performance of the Work. Should any claim be made against OWNER or PROFESSIONAL by any
such OWNER or occupant because of the performance of the Work, CONTRACTOR shall promptly attempt
to settle with such other party by agreement or otherwise resolve the claim by arbitration or at law.
CONTRACTOR shall, to the fullest extent permitted by laws and Regulations, indemnity and hold OWNER
harmless from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses (including, but not limited to, fees of

or replacement in the course of construction.
CONTRACTOR shall comply with all applicable Laws and Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction
for the safety of persons or property or to protect them from damage, injury or loss; and shall erect and

6.22. In emergencies affecting the safety or protection of persons or the Work or property at the site
or adjacent thereto, CONTRACTOR, without special instruction or authorization from PROFESSIONAL or
OWNER, is obligated to act to prevent threatened damage, injury or loss. CONTRACTOR shall give
PROFESSIONAL prompt written notice if CONTRACTOR believes that any significant changes in the Work
or variations from the Contract Documents have been caused thereby. If PROFESSIONAL determines that
a change in the Contract Documents is required because of the action taken in response to an emergency,
a Work Change Directive or Change Order be issued to document the consequences of the changes or
variations.
6.22.1. CONTRACTOR shall immediately notify PROFESSIONAL of all events involving injuries to
any person on the Site, whether or not such person was engaged in the construction of the Project, and shall
file a written report on such person(s) and any other event resulting in property damage of any amount within
five (5) days of the occurrence.
6.22.2. If PROFESSIONAL determines that a change in the Contract Documents is required because
of the action taken by CONTRACTOR in response to such an emergency, a Change Order will be issued to
document the consequences of such action.
Shop Drawings and Samples:
I
6.23. After checking and verifying all field measurements, CONTRACTOR shall promptly submit to
PROFESSIONAL for approval, in accordance with the accepted schedule of submittals, all submittals and
samples required by the Contract Documents. All submittals and samples shall have been checked by and
stamped with the approval of CONTRACTOR and identified as PROFESSIONAL may require. The data
shown on or with the submittals will be complete with respect to dimensions, design criteria, materials and any
other information necessary to enable PROFESSIONAL to review the submittal as required. At the time of
each submission, CONTRACTOR shall give notice to PROFESSIONAL of all deviations that the submittal or
sample may have from the requirements of the Contract Documents.
I
I
I
I
6.24. PROFESSIONAL shall review and approve submittals and samples. Professional's review and
approval shall be only for conformance with the design concept of the Project and compliance with the
information given in the Contract Documents. The approval of a separate item as such will not indicate
approval of the assembly in which the item functions. CONTRACTOR will make any corrections required by
PROFESSIONAL and resubmit the required number of corrected copies until approved. CONTRACTOR's
stamp of approval on any submittal or sample shall constitute its representation to PROFESSIONAL and
OWNER that CONTRACTOR has determined and verified all quantities, dimensions, field construction
criteria, materials, catalog numbers, and similar data, and that each submittal or sample has been reviewed
or coordinated with the requirements of the Work and the Contract Documents.
I
I
I
I
6.24.1. No Work requiring a submittal or sample submission shall commence until the submission
has been approved by PROFESSIONAL. A copy of each approved submittal and each approved sample shall
be kept in good order by CONTRACTOR at the site and shall be available to PROFESSIONAL and OWNER.
Any delays associated with the submittal process will be considered for time extensions only, and no
damages or additional compensation for delay will be allowed.
6.24.2. Before submission of each Shop Drawing or sample, CONTRACTOR shall have determined
and verified all quantities, dimensions, specified performance criteria, installation requirements, materials,
catalog numbers and similar data with respect thereto and reviewed or coordinated each Shop Drawing or
sample with other Shop Drawings and samples and with the requirements of the Work and the Contract
Documents.

6.24.3. At the time of each submission, CONTRACTOR shall give PROFESSIONAL specific written
notice of each variation that the Shop Drawings or samples may have from the requirements of the Contract
Documents, and, in addition, shall cause a specific notation to be made on each Shop Drawing submitted to
PROFESSIONAL for review and approval of each such variation.
6.26. PROFESSIONAL will review and approve with reasonable promptness Shop Drawings and
samples, but PROFESSIONAL's review and approval will be only for conformance with the design concept
of the Project and for compliance with the information given in the Contract Documents and shall not extend
to means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction (except where a specific means,
method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is indicated in or required by the Contract
Documents) or to safety precautions or programs incident thereto. The review and approval of a separate item
as such will not indicate approval of the assembly in which the item functions.
6.27. PROFESSIONAL's approval of submittals or samples shall not relieve CONTRACTOR from
responsibility for any variation from the requirements of the Contract Documents unless CONTRACTOR has,
in writing, called PROFESSIONAL's attention to each such variation at the time of submission and the
OWNER has given written approval to the specific deviation; any such approval by PROFESSIONAL shall not
relieve CONTRACTOR from responsibility for errors or omissions in the submittals.
6.28. Where a shop drawing or sample is required by the Contract Documents or the schedule of
shop drawings and sample submissions accepted by PROFESSIONAL as required, any related work
performed prior to PROFESSIONAL's review and approval of the pertinent submittal will be at the sole
expense and responsibility of CONTRACTOR.

Continuing the Work:
I
I
I
6.30. CONTRACTOR shall carry on the Work and adhere to the progress schedule during all

disputes or disagreements, except as permitted by paragraph 15.6 or as CONTRACTOR and OWNER may
otherwise agree in writing.
Cleaning Up:
I
I
6.31. CONTRACTOR shall maintain the site free from accumulations of waste materials, rubbish,
and other debris or contaminants resulting from the work on a daily basis or as required. At the completion
of the work, CONTRACTOR shall remove all waste materials, rubbish, and debris from the site as well as all
tools, construction equipment and machinery, and surplus materials and will leave the Site clean and ready
for occupancy by OWNER. All disposal shall be in accordance with applicable Laws and Regulations. In
addition to any other rights available to OWNER under the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR's failure to
maintain the site may result in withholding of any amounts due CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR will restore
to original condition those portions of the site not designated for alteration by the Contract Documents.
Indemnification:
I
6.32. To the fullest extent permitted by Laws and Regulations, CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and
hold harmless OWNER, PROGRAM MANAGER and PROFESSIONAL and their consultants, agents and
employees from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses, direct, indirect or consequential
(including but not limited to fees and charges of PROGRAM MANAGER, PROFESSIONALs, architects,
attorneys and other PROFESSIONALs and court and arbitration costs) arising out of or resulting from the
performance of the Work, provided that any such claim, damage, loss or expense (a) is attributable to bodily

by law and Regulations regardless of the negligence of any such party.
6.33. In any and all claims against OWNER, PROGRAM MANAGER or PROFESSIONAL or any of
their consultants, agents or employees by any employee of CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any person
or organization directly or indirectly employed by any of them to perform or furnish any of the Work or anyone
for whose acts any of them may be liable, the indemnification obligation under paragraph 6.32 shall not be
limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by
or for CONTRACTOR or any such Subcontractor or other person or organization under workers' or workmen's
compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts.
I
6.34. The obligations of CONTRACTOR under paragraph 6.32 shall not extend to the liability of
PROFESSIONAL, PROFESSIONAL's consultants, agents or employees arising out of the preparation or
approval of maps, drawings, opinions, reports, surveys, Change Orders, designs or specifications.

7.1. OWNER may perform other work related to the Project at the site by OWNER's own forces,
have other work performed by aided OWNERs or let other direct contracts therefor which shall contain
General Conditions similar to these. If the fact that such other work is to be performed was not noted in the
Contract Documents, written notice thereof will be given to CONTRACTOR prior to starting any such other
work, and, il CONTRACTOR believes that such performance will involve additional expense to

contracts between OWNER and such utility OWNERs and other contractors.
7.2. If any part of CONTRACTOR's Work depends for proper execution or results upon the work of
any such other contractor or utility OWNER (or OWNER), CONTRACTOR shall inspect and promptly report
to PROFESSIONAL in writing any delays, defects or deficiencies in such work that render it unavailable or
unsuitable for such proper execution and results. CONTRACTOR's failure so to report will constitute an

ARTICLE 9---PROFESSIONAL'S STATUS DURING
CONSTRUCTION
OWNER's Representative:
9.1. PROFESSIONAL will be OWNER's representative during the construction period. The duties
and responsibilities and the limitations of authority of PROFESSIONAL as OWNER's representative during
construction are set forth in the Contract Documents and shall not be extended without written consent of
OWNER and PROFESSIONAL.
Visits to Site:
9.2. PROFESSIONAL will make visits to the site at intervals appropriate to the various stages of
construction to observe the premises and quality of the executed Work and to determine, in general, if the
Work is proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents. PROFESSIONAL will not be required to
make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work.
PROFESSIONAL's efforts will be directed toward providing for OWNER a greater degree of confidence that
the completed Work will conform to the Contract Documents. On the basis of such visits and on-site
observations as an experienced and qualified design PROFESSIONAL, PROFESSIONAL will keep OWNER
informed of the progress of the Work and will endeavor to guard OWNER against defects and deficiencies
in the Work.
Project Representation:
9.3. If OWNER and PROFESSIONAL agree, PROFESSIONAL will furnish a Resident Project
Representative to assist PROFESSIONAL in observing the performance of the Work. The duties,
responsibilities and limitations of authority of any such Resident Project Representative and assistants will be
as provided in the Supplementary Conditions. If OWNER designates another agent to represent OWNER at
the site who is not PROFESSIONAL's agent or employee, the duties, responsibilities and limitations of
authority of such other person will be as provided in the Supplementary Conditions.
Clarifications and Interpretations:
9.4. PROFESSIONAL shall issue such written clarifications or interpretations of the Contract
Documents (in the form of Drawings or otherwise) as may be determined necessary, or as reasonably
requested by CONTRACTOR, which shall be consistent with or reasonably inferable from the overall intent
of the Contract Documents. If CONTRACTOR believes that a written clarification and interpretation entitles
it to an increase in the Contract Price and/or Contract Time, CONTRACTOR may make a claim as provided
for in Articles 11 or 12.
Authorized Variations in Work:
9.5. PROFESSIONAL may authorize minor variations in the Work from the requirements of the
Contract Documents which do not involve an adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Time and are
consistent with the overall intent of the Contract Documents. These may be accomplished by a Field Order
and will be binding on OWNER and also on CONTRACTOR who shall perform the Work involved promptly.
If CONTRACTOR believes that a Field Order justifies an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the
Contract Time and the parties are unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof, CONTRACTOR may
make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11 or 12.

performed by CONTRACTOR. PROFESSIONAL will review with CONTRACTOR PROFESSIONAL's
preliminary determinations on such matters before rendering a written decision thereon (by recommendation
of an Application for Payment or otherwise). PROFESSIONAL's written decisions thereon will be final and

Decisions on Disputes:
9.11. PROFESSIONAL will be the initial interpreter of the requirements of the Contract Documents
and judge of the acceptability of the Work thereunder. Claims, disputes and other matters relating to the
acceptability of the Work or the interpretation of the requirements of the Contract Documents pertaining to
the performance and furnishing of the Work and claims under Articles 11 and 12 in respect of changes to the
Contract Price or Contract Time will be referred initially to PROFESSIONAL in writing with a request for a
formal decision in accordance with this paragraph, which PROFESSIONAL will render in writing within a
reasonable time. Written notice of each such claim, dispute and other matter will be delivered by the claimant
to PROFESSIONAL and the other party to the Agreement promptly (but in no event later than thirty days after
the occurrence of the event giving rise thereto) and written supporting data will be submitted to
PROFESSIONAL and the other party within sixty days after such occurrence unless PROFESSIONAL allows
an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim.
9.12. When functioning as interpreter and judge under paragraphs 9.10 and 9.11, PROFESSIONAL
will not show partiality to OWNER or CONTRACTOR and will not be liable in connection with any interpretation
or decision rendered in good faith in such capacity. The rendering of a decision by PROFESSIONAL pursuant
to paragraphs 9.10 and 9.11 with respect to any such claim, dispute or other matter (except any which have
been waived by the making or acceptance of final payment as provided in paragraph 14.16) will be a condition

matter.
Limitations on PROFESSIONAL's Responsibilities:

Documents nor any decision made in good faith to exercise such authority shall give rise to any duty or
responsibility of PROFESSIONAL to CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any of their agents or employees.
9.14. PROFESSIONAL shall not be responsible for the construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences, or procedures or the safety precautions and programs used. PROFESSIONAL shall not be
responsible for CONTRACTOR's failure to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

ARTICLE 1 Q--CHANGES IN THE WORK
10.1. Without invalidating the Contract, OWNER may at any time or from time to time order additions,
deletions, or revisions in the Work. The OWNER shall provide CONTRACTOR with a proposal request,
identifying the Work to be added, deleted or revised. Upon receipt, CONTRACTOR shall promptly submit a
written proposal for the changed work prepared in accordance with Articles 11 and 12. If the proposal request
calls only for the deletion of Work, the OWNER may order the partial suspension of any Work related to the
proposed deletion, in which case CONTRACTOR must cease performance as directed; CONTRACTOR shall
not be entitled to claim lost profits on deleted work. All changed Work shall be executed under the applicable
conditions of the Contract Documents.
10.2. Additional Work performed by CONTRACTOR without authorization of a Change Order will not
entitle CONTRACTOR to an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time, except in
the case of an emergency as provided in Article 6. The effect of this paragraph shall remain paramount and
shall prevail irrespective of any conflicting provisions contained in these Contract Documents.
10.3. Upon agreement as to changes in the Work to be performed, Work performed in an emergency
as provided in Article 6, and any other claim of CONTRACTOR for a change in the Contract Time or the
Contract Price, PROFESSIONAL will prepare a written Change Order to be signed by PROFESSIONAL and
CONTRACTOR and submitted to OWNER for approval.
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
10.4. In the absence of an agreement as provided in 10.3, OWNER may, at its sole discretion, issue
a Work Change Directive to CONTRACTOR. Pricing of the Work Change Directive will be in accordance with
Section 11.3. The Work Change Directive will specify a price, and if applicable a time extension, determined
to be reasonable by OWNER. If CONTRACTOR fails to sign such Work Change Directive, CONTRACTOR
may submit a claim in accordance with Articles 11 and 12, but CONTRACTOR shall nevertheless be obligated
to fully perform the work as directed by the Work Change Directive.
10.5. CONTRACTOR shall proceed diligently with performance of the Work as directed by OWNER,
regardless of pending claim actions, unless otherwise agreed to in writing.
10.6. If notice of any change affecting the general scope of the Work or the provisions of the Contract
Documents (including, but not limited to, Contract Price or Contract Time) is required by the provisions of any
Bond to be given to a surety, the giving of any such notice will be CONTRACTOR's responsibility, and the
amount of each applicable Bond will be adjusted accordingly.

ARTICLE 11-CHANGE OF CONTRACT PRICE
11.1. The Contract Price constitutes the total compensation (subject to written authorized

assigned to or undertaken by CONTRACTOR shall be at CONTRACTOR's expense without change in the
Contract Price.
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
11.2. The Contract Price may only be changed by a Change Order or by a Written Amendment. Any
claim for an increase or decrease in the Contract Price shall be based on written notice delivered by the party
making the claim to the other party and to PROFESSIONAL promptly (but in no event later than thirty days)
after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of the claim. Notice
of the amount of the claim with supporting data shall be delivered within sixty days after such occurrence
(unless PROFESSIONAL allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of
the claim) and shall be accompanied by claimant's written statement that the amount claimed covers all known
amounts (direct, indirect and consequential) to which the claimant is entitled as a result of the occurrence of
said event. All claims for adjustment in the Contract Price shall be determined by PROFESSIONAL in accor-
dance with paragraph 9.11 if OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot otherwise agree on the amount involved.
No claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price will be valid if not submitted in accordance with this
paragraph 11.2.
11.3. The value of any Work covered by a Change Order or of any claim for an adjustment in the
Contract Price will be determined by the following procedures:
11.3.1. Designated Unit Price (Field Measure). CONTRACTOR and OWNER recognize and
acknowledge that the quantities shown for those items designated in the Bid Proposal as unit price items are
approximations prepared by OWNER for bid purposes and that the actual compensation payable to
CONTRACTOR for the utilization of such items is based upon the application of unit prices to the actual
quantities of items involved as measured in the field and required to complete the Work as originally defined
in the Contract Documents.
11.3.2. When it is determined by OWNER that an addition, deletion, or revision to the Work, as
defined in these Contract Documents, is required and affects the quantities required for items designed in the
Bid Proposal as unit price items, CONTRACTOR and OWNER agree that the compensation payable to
CONTRACTOR for such unit price items shall be adjusted accordingly by a Change Order based upon the
application of the appropriate unit prices shown in the Bid Proposal to the quantity of the unit price item
required to complete the Work as defined in the Contract Documents.
I
I
I
I
I
I
11.3.3. Other Unit Prices. For items not designated in the bid proposal as unit prices, OWNER and
CONTRACTOR may establish unit prices as agreed on by Change Order.
11.3.4. Lump Sum. When it is determined by OWNER that an addition, deletion or revision to the
Work is required which results in a change in Work designated in the Bid Proposal as a lump sum item, the
amount of increase or decrease in the lump sum price shall be established by mutual agreement of the
parties.
11.3.5. If the pricing methods specified in 11.3 are inapplicable, or if the parties are unable to agree
on a price for the changed work, a reasonable price for the same shall be established by OWNER in
accordance with 11.4 and 11.5. OWNER shall then process a unilateral Change Order, specifying the said

reasonable price, in accordance with 11.4 through 11.6. CONTRACTOR shall perform the Work as directed
in the Change Order.
I
11.3.6. Failure on the part of CONTRACTOR to construct any item to plan or authorized dimensions
within the specification tolerances shall result in: reconstruction to acceptable tolerances at no additional costs
to OWNER; acceptance at no pay; or acceptance at reduced final pay quantity or reduced unit price, all at the
discretion of OWNER. Determinations of aggregate monetary change for items identified as lump sum
quantities shall be made by OWNER based upon an analysis of the scope of CONTRACTOR's failure to
construct to plan or authorized dimensions.

Cost of the Work:
11.4. The term Cost of the Work means the sum of all costs necessarily incurred and paid by
CONTRACTOR in the proper performance of the Work. Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by
OWNER, such costs shall be in amounts no higher than those prevailing in the locality of the Project, shall
include only the following items and shall not include any of the costs itemized in paragraph 11.5:
11.4.1. Payroll costs for employees in the direct employ of CONTRACTOR in the performance of the
Work under schedules of job classifications agreed upon by OWNER and CONTRACTOR. Payroll costs for
employees not employed full time on the Work shall be apportioned on the basis of their time spent on the
Work. Payroll costs shall include, but not be limited to, salaries and wages plus the cost of fringe benefits
which shall include social security contributions, unemployment, excise and payroll taxes, workers' or
workmen's compensation, health and retirement benefits, bonuses, sick leave, vacation and holiday pay
applicable thereto. Such employees shall include superintendents and foremen at the site. The expenses of
performing Work after regular working hours, on Saturday, Sunday or legal holidays, shall be included in the
above to the extent authorized by OWNER.
11.4.2. Cost of all materials and equipment furnished and incorporated in the Work, including costs
of transportation and storage thereof, and Suppliers' field services required in connection therewith. All cash
discounts shall accrue to CONTRACTOR unless OWNER deposits funds with CONTRACTOR with which to
make payments, in which case the cash discounts shall accrue to OWNER. Trade discounts, rebates and
refunds and all returns from sale of surplus materials and equipment shall accrue to OWNER, and
CONTRACTOR shall make provisions so that they may be obtained.
11.4.3. Payments made by_CONTRACTOR to the Subcontractors for Work performed by
Subcontractors. If required by OWNER, CONTRACTOR shall obtain competitive bids from Subcontractors
acceptable to CONTRACTOR and shall deliver such bids to OWNER who then determines, with the advice
of PROFESSIONAL, which bids will be accepted. If a subcontract provides that the Subcontractor is to be paid
on the basis of Cost of the Work Plus a Fee, the Subcontractor's Cost of the Work shall be determined in the
same manner as CONTRACTOR's Cost of the Work. All subcontracts shall be subject to the other provisions

amount of credit to be allowed by CONTRACTOR to OWNER for any such change which results in a net
decrease in cost will be the amount of the actual net decrease in direct cost as determined by the Project
Manager, plus the applicable reduction in overhead and profit. When both additions and credits are involved
in any change, the combined overhead and profit shall be calculated on the basis of the net change, whether
an increase or decrease. In any event, the minimum detail shall be an itemization of all man-hours required
by discipline/trade with the unit cost per man-hour and total labor price, labor burden, equipment hours and
rate for each piece of equipment, material by units of measure and price per unit, other costs specifically
itemized, plus the overhead and profit markup.
Cash Allowances:
11.8. It is understood that CONTRACTOR has included in the Contract Price all allowances so
named in the Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered to be done by such Subcontractors
or Suppliers and for such sums within the limit of the allowances as may be acceptable to PROFESSIONAL
CONTRACTOR agrees that:
11.8.1. The allowances include the cost to CONTRACTOR (less any applicable trade discounts) of
materials and equipment required by the allowances to be delivered at the site and all applicable taxes; and
I
I
I
I
11.8.2. CONTRACTOR's costs for unloading and handling on the site, labor, installation costs,
overhead, profit and other expenses contemplated for the allowances have been included in the Contract
Price and not in the allowances. No demand for additional payment on account of any thereof will be valid.
Prior to final payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued as recommended by PROFESSIONAL to
reflect actual amounts due CONTRACTOR on account of Work covered by allowances, and the Contract
Price shall be correspondingly adjusted.
Unit Price Work:
I
I
I
I
11.9.1. Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work,
initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to the sum of the
established unit prices for each separately identified item of Unit Price Work times the estimated quantity of
each item as indicated in the Agreement. The estimated quantities of items of Unit Price Work are not
guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of Bids and determining an initial Contract Price.
Determinations of the actual quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR
will be made by PROFESSIONAL in accordance with Paragraph 9.10.
11.9.2. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by CONTRACTOR to be
adequate to cover CONTRACTOR's overhead and profit for each separately identified item.
11.9.3. Where the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR differs
materially and significantly from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Agreement and there is
no corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work and if CONTRACTOR believes that
CONTRACTOR has incurred additional expense as a result thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim for
an increase in the Contract Price in accordance with Article 11 if the parties are unable to agree as to the
amount of any such increase.

ARTICLE 12--CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME
12.1. The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order. Any request for an extension in
the Contract Time shall be made in writing and delivered to PROFESSIONAL and OWNER within seven (7)
calendar days of the occurrence first happening and resulting in the claim. Written supporting data will be
submitted to PROFESSIONAL and OWNER within fifteen (15) calendar days after such occurrence unless
the OWNER allows additional time. All claims submitted by CONTRACTOR for adjustments to the Contract
Time must set forth in detail the reasons for and causes of the delay and clearly indicate why the subject delay
was beyond CONTRACTOR's control or fault.

I
I
I
I
I
I
12.2. If CONTRACTOR is delayed at any time in the performance, progress, commencement, or
completion of the Work by any act or neglect of OWNER or PROFESSIONAL, or by an employee of either,
or by any separate CONTRACTOR employed by OWNER, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by labor
disputes, fire, unavoidable casualties, utility conflicts which could not have been identified or foreseen by
CONTRACTOR using reasonable diligence, or any causes beyond CONTRACTOR's control or fault, then the
Contract Time shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as OWNER may determine.
CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to an extension of time for such causes only for the number of days of delay
which OWNER may determine to be due solely to such causes and only to the extent such occurrences
actually delay the completion of the Work and then only if CONTRACTOR shall have strictly complied with
all the requirements of the Contract Documents. Provided, however, notwithstanding anything in the Contract
Documents to the contrary, no interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay in the performance,
progress, commencement or completion of the Work for any cause whatsoever, including those for which
OWNER or PROFESSIONAL may be responsible in whole or in part, shall relieve CONTRACTOR of its duty
to perform or give rise to any right to damages or additional compensation from OWNER. CONTRACTOR's
sole and exclusive remedy against OWNER for interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay
of any aspect of the Work shall be the right to seek an extension to the Contract Time in accordance with the
procedures set forth herein.

new unless otherwise specified and that all work will be of good quality, performed in a workmanlike manner,
free from faults or defects, and in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and any
inspections, tests, or approvals referred to in this Article. All unsatisfactory Work, all faulty Work and all Work
not conforming to the requirements of the Contract Documents or such inspections, tests, approvals, or all
applicable building, construction and safety requirements shall be considered defective. Notice of all defects
shall be given to CONTRACTOR by PROFESSIONAL. All defective work, whether or not in place, may be
rejected, corrected, or accepted as provided in this Article.
Access to Work:
13.2. For the duration of the Work, PROFESSIONAL and its representatives, other designated
representatives of OWNER, and authorized representatives of any regulatory agency shall at all times be
given access to the Work. CONTRACTOR shall provide proper facilities for such access and observation of
the Work and also for any inspection or testing by others.
1
Tests and Inspections:
I
13.3. If the Contract Documents, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public authority
having jurisdiction require any Work to specifically be inspected, tested, or approved by someone other than
CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR shall give PROFESSIONAL timely notice of readiness therefore.
I
I
I
I
I:
I
13.4. The testing firm(s) (if assigned by OWNER to this Work) and all such inspections, tests, or
approvals provided for by OWNER shall be identified in writing by PROFESSIONAL to CONTRACTOR. All
other inspections, tests or approvals shall be at CONTRACTOR's expense including additional expenses for
inspection and tests required as a result of delays by CONTRACTOR or hours worked in excess of 40 hours
per week. For all required inspections, tests, and approvals on any Work prepared, performed, or assembled
away from the site, CONTRACTOR will furnish PROFESSIONAL with the required Certificates of Inspection,
testing, or approval. All such tests will be in accordance with the methods prescribed by the American Society
for Testing and Materials or such other applicable organizations as may be required by law or the Contract
Documents. Materials or Work in place that fail to pass acceptability tests shall be retested at the direction
of PROFESSIONAL and at CONTRACTOR's expense.
13.5. All inspections, tests or approvals other than those required by Laws or Regulations of any
public body having jurisdiction shall be performed by organizations acceptable to OWNER and
CONTRACTOR (or by PROFESSIONAL if so specified).
13.6. If any Work (including the work of others) that is to be inspected, tested or approved is covered
without written concurrence of PROFESSIONAL, it must, if requested by PROFESSIONAL, be uncovered for
observation. Such uncovering shall be at CONTRACTOR's expense unless CONTRACTOR has given
PROFESSIONAL timely notice of CONTRACTOR's intention to cover the same and PROFESSIONAL has
not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice.

13.7. Neither observations by PROFESSIONAL or Project Manager nor inspections, tests, or
approvals by persons other than CONTRACTOR shall relieve CONTRACTOR of its obligations to perform
the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
Uncovering Work:
13.8. If any Work required to be inspected, tested or approved is covered prior thereto without the
prior written approval of PROFESSIONAL, or if any Work is covered contrary to the request of
PROFESSIONAL, the Work shall, if requested by PROFESSIONAL, be uncovered for observation, inspection,
testing or approval and replaced at CONTRACTOR's expense.
I
13.9. If PROFESSIONAL considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by
PROFESSIONAL or inspected or tested by others, CONTRACTOR, at PROFESSIONAL's request, shall
uncover, expose or otherwise make available for observation, inspection or testing as PROFESSIONAL may
require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all necessary labor, material and equipment. If it is
found that such Work is defective, CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct and consequential costs of such
uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection and testing and of satisfactory reconstruction (including but not
limited to fees and charges of PROFESSIONAls, architects, attorneys and other PROFESSIONAls), and
OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price and, if the parties are unable to
agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. If, however,
such Work is not found to be defective, CONTRACTOR shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price
or an extension of the Contract Time, or both, directly attributable to such uncovering, exposure, observation,
inspection, testing and reconstruction, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount or extent
thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12.

I
I

OWNER May Stop the Work:
13.10. When Work is defective or when CONTRACTOR fails to supply sufficient skilled workmen
or suitable materials or equipment or make prompt payments to Subcontractors for labor, materials, or
equipment or if CONTRACTOR violates any provisions of these Contract Documents, OWNER may order
CONTRACTOR to stop the Work until the cause for such order has been eliminated. However, this right of
OWNER to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of OWNER to exercise this right for the
benefit of CONTRACTOR or any other party. CONTRACTOR shall have no right to claim an increase in the
Contract Price or Contract Time or other damages for a stop work order under this paragraph.
Correction or Removal of Defective Work:
13.11. When directed by PROFESSIONAL, CONTRACTOR shall promptly, without cost to OWNER
and as specified by PROFESSIONAL, either correct the defective Work whether fabricated, installed, or
completed, or remove it from the site and replace it with non-defective Work. If CONTRACTOR doe:, 110t
correct such defective Work or remove and replace such defective Work within a reasonable time, as
specified in a written notice from PROFESSIONAL, OWNER may have the deficiency corrected. All direct
and indirect costs of such correction shall be paid by CONTRACTOR or deducted from payment to
CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR will also bear the expense of correcting or removing and replacing all Work
of others destroyed or damaged by the correction, removal, or replacement of the defective Work.

One Year Correction Period:
13.12. If, after approval of final payment and prior to the expiration of one 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, any Work or materials are found to be
defective, incomplete, or otherwise not in accordance with the Contract Documents, CONTRACTOR shall
promptly, without cost to OWNER and in accordance with OWNER's written instructions, either correct such
defective Work or if it has been rejected by OWNER, remove it from the Site and replace it with non-defective
Work. If CONTRACTOR does not promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, OWNER may have
the defective Work corrected, removed, or replaced. All direct, indirect and consequential costs of such
removal and replacement (including but not limited to fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and
other professionals) will be paid by CONTRACTOR.
Acceptance of Defective Work:
13.13. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of defective Work, OWNER
(and, prior to PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment, PROFESSIONAL) prefers to accept it,
OWNER may do so. CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs attributable to
OWNER's evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work (such costs to be approved by
PROFESSIONAL as to reasonableness and to include but not be limited to fees and charges of engineers,
architects, attorneys and other professionals). If any such acceptance occurs prior to PROFESSIONAL's
recommendation of final payment, a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the
Contract Documents with respect to the Work, and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in
the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may make a
claim therefor as provided in Article 11. If the acceptance occurs after such recommendation, an appropriate
amount will be paid by CONTRACTOR to OWNER.
OWNER May Correct Defective Work:
13.14. If CONTRACTOR fails within a reasonable time after written notice of PROFESSIONAL to
proceed to correct defective Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by PROFESSIONAL
in accordance with paragraph 13.11, or if CONTRACTOR fails to perform the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents, or if CONTRACTOR falls to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents,
OWNER may, after seven days' written notice to CONTRACTOR, correct and remedy any such deficiency.
In exercising the rights and remedies under this paragraph, OWNER shall proceed expeditiously, to the extent
necessary to complete corrective and remedial action. OWNER may exclude CONTRACTOR from all or part
of the site, take possession of all or part of the Work, and suspend CONTRACTOR's services related thereto,
take possession of CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the site and
incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which OWNER has paid
CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere. CONTRACTOR shall allow OWNER, OWNER's
representatives, agents and employees such access to the site as may be necessary to enable OWNER to
exercise the rights and remedies under this paragraph. All direct, indirect and consequential costs of OWNER
in exercising such rights and remedies will be charged against CONTRACTOR in an amount approved as to
reasonableness by PROFESSIONAL, and a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary
revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work, and OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate
decrease in the Contract Price, and, if the parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof, OWNER may
make a claim therefor as provided in Article 11. Such direct, indirect and consequential costs will include, but
not be limited to, fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys and other professionals, all court costs

and all costs of repair and replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal or
replacement of CONTRACTOR's defective Work. CONTRACTOR shall not be allowed an extension of the
Contract Time because of any delay in performance of the Work attributable to the exercise by OWNER of
OWNER's rights and remedies hereunder.
Neglected Work by CONTRACTOR
I
13.15. If CONTRACTOR neglects to execute the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents,
including any requirements of the progress schedule, PROFESSIONAL may direct CONTRACTOR to submit
a recovery plan and take specific corrective actions including, but not limited to, employing additional workmen
and/or equipment, and working extended hours and additional days, all at no cost to OWNER in order to put
the Work back on schedule. If CONTRACTOR fails to correct the deficiency or take appropriate corrective
action, OWNER may terminate the contract or CONTRACTOR's right to proceed with that portion of Work
and have the Work done by others. The cost of completion under such procedure shall be charged against
CONTRACTOR. A Change Order shall be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract
Documents, including an appropriate reduction in the Contract Price. If the payments due CONTRACTOR
are not sufficient to cover such amount, CONTRACTOR shall pay the difference to OWNER.
I
I
I
13.16. Should CONTRACTOR work overtime, weekends or holidays to regain the schedule, all costs
to OWNER of associated inspection, construction management and resident engineers shall be identified to
CONTRACTOR and the Contract Price reduced by a like amount via Change Order.

ARTICLE 14-PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND COMPLETION
Schedule of Values:
14.1. The schedule of values established as provided in 2.9 will serve as the basis for progress
payments and will be incorporated into a form of application for Payment acceptable to Project Manager.
Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed.
I
I
Application for Progress Payment:
I
I
14.2. At least twenty (20) calendar days before the date established for each progress payment (but
not more often than once a month), CONTRACTOR shall submit to PROFESSIONAL for review an application
for Payment filled out and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the work completed as of the date of the
application and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents.
If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered
and suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment shall also
be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other documentation warranting that OWNER has received the
materials and equipment free and clear of all liens and evidence that the materials and equipment are covered
by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect OWNER's interest therein, all of which
will be satisfactory to OWNER. Payment is subject to a ten percent (10%) retain age that will be held until the
final payment or acceptance by OWNER. The amount of retain age with respect to progress payments will be
as stipulated in the Agreement.
.,
I
CONTRACTOR's Warranty of Title:
14.3. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment
covered by any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to OWNER no
later than the time of payment free and clear of all Liens.
I
I
I
Review of Applications for Progress Payment:
14.4. PROFESSIONAL will, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of each Application for
Payment, either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the application to OWNER, or
return the application to CONTRACTOR indicating in writing PROFESSIONAL's reasons for refusing to
recommend payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit
the application. OWNER shall, within thirty-one calendar days of presentation to him of the application for
payment with PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of the amount for payment, pay CONTRACTOR amount
recommended.
I
14.5. PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment
will constitute a representation by PROFESSIONAL to OWNER, based on PROFESSIONAL's on-site
observations of the Work in progress as an experienced and qualified design PROFESSIONAL and on PROF-
ESSIONAL'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 PROFESSIONAL's knowledge, information and
belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents subject to an evaluation of the
Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests
called for in the Contract Documents, to a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price

Work under paragraph 9.10, ancl to any other qualifications stated in the recommendation; and that
CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment of the amount recommended. However, by recommending any such
payment, PROFESSIONAL will not thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaustive or continuous
on-site inspections have been made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond the
responsibilities specifically assigned to PROFESSIONAL in the Contract Documents or that there may not be
other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by
OWNER or OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR.
14.6. PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment will constitute an additional
representation by PROFESSIONAL to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRACTOR's being
entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13 have been fulfilled.
14.7. PROFESSIONAL may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in
PROFESSIONAL's opinion, it would be incorrect to make such representations to OWNER. PROFESSIONAL
may also refuse to recommend any such payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the
results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such extent
as may be necessary in PROFESSIONAL's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because:
14.7.1. the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or
replacement.
14.7.2. the Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change Order.
14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with
paragraph 13.14. or
14.7.4. of PROFESSIONAL's actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated
in paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.9 inclusive.
I
I
I
I
OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by PROFESSIONAL because claims
have been made against OWNER on account of CONTRACTOR's performance or furnishing of the Work or
Liens have been filed in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling OWNER to a off-set
against the amount recommended, but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (with a
copy to PROFESSIONAL) stating the reasons for such action.
Substantial Completion:
I
I
14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use, CONTRACTOR
shall notify OWNER and PROFESSIONAL in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except
for items specifically listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that PROFESSIONAL issue a
certificate of Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and
PROFESSIONAL shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. If
PROFESSIONAL does not consider the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify
CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially
complete, PROFESSIONAL will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial
Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a
tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment. OWNER shall have seven days after
receipt of the tentative certificate during which to make written objection to PROFESSIONAL as to any

provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after considering such objections, PROFESSIONAL concludes
that the Work is not substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will, within fourteen days after submission of
the tentative certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing stating the reasons therefor. If, after
consideration of OWNER's, objections, PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially complete,
PROFESSIONAL will within said fourteen days execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a
definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be completed or
corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as PROFESSIONAL believes justified after
consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial
Completion, PROFESSIONAL will deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to
division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to
security, operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance and warranties. Unless OWNER and
CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so inform PROFESSIONAL prior to PROFESSIONAL's issuing
the definitive certificate of Substantial Completion, PROFESSIONAL's aforesaid recommendation will be
binding on OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment.
14.9. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Work after the date of
Substantial Completion, but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct
items on the tentative list.
Partial Utilization:
14.10. Use by OWNER at OWNER's option of any substantially completed part of the Work which
(i) has specifically been identified in the Contract Documents, or (ii) OWNER, PROFESSIONAL, and
CONTRACTOR agree constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the Work that can be used by
OWNER for its intended purpose without significant interference with CONTRACTOR's performance of the
remainder of the Work, may be accomplished prior to Substantial Completion of all the Work subject to the
following:
I
I
I
I
14.10.1. OWNER at any time may request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use any
such part of the Work which OWNER believes to be ready for its intended use and substantially complete.
If CONTRACTOR agrees, CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL that said part of the
Work is substantially complete and request PROFESSIONAL to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion
for that part of the Work. CONTRACTOR at any time may notify OWNER and PROFESSIONAL in writing that
CONTRACTOR considers any such part of the Work ready for its intended use and substantially complete
and request PROFESSIONAL to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. Within
a reasonable time after either such request, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL shall make an
inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If PROFESSIONAL does not consider
that part of the Work to be substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify OWNER and CONTRACTOR,
in writing, giving the reasons therefor. If PROFESSIONAL considers that part of the Work to be substantially
complete, the provisions of paragraphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply with respect to certification of Substantial
Completion of that part of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto.
14.10.2. OWNER may at any time request CONTRACTOR, in writing, to permit OWNER to take over
operation of any such part of the Work although it is not substantially complete. A copy of such request will
be sent to PROFESSIONAL and, within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and
PROFESSIONAL shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion, and
PROFESSIONAL will prepare a list of the items remaining to be completed or corrected thereon before final
payment. If CONTRACTOR does not object in writing to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL that such part of the

Work is not ready for separate operation by OWNER, PROFESSIONAL will finalize the list of items to be
completed or corrected and will deliver such list to OWNER and CONTRACTOR together with a written
recommendation as to the division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and
CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety, maintenance, utilities, insurance, warranties and
guarantees for that part of the Work which will become binding upon OWNER and CONTRACTOR at the time
when OWNER takes over such operation (unless they shall have otherwise agreed in writing and so informed
PROFESSIONAL). During such operation and prior to Substantial Completion of such part of the Work,
OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on said list and to
complete other related Work.
14.10.3. No occupancy or separate operation of part of the Work will be accomplished prior to
compliance with the requirements of paragraph 5.15 in respect of property insurance.
14.10.4. OWNER, may at its discretion, reduce the amount of retainage subject to Beneficial
Occupancy.
Final Inspection:
14.11. Upon written notice from CONTRACTOR that the entire Work or an agreed upon portion
thereof is complete, PROFESSIONAL will make a final inspection with OWNER and CONTRACTOR and will
notify CONTRACTOR in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete
or defective. CONTRACTOR shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to remedy such defi-
ciencies.
Final Application for Payment:
14.12. After CONTRACTOR has completed all such corrections to the satisfaction of
PROFESSIONAL and OWNER and delivered in accordance with the Contract Documents all maintenance
and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds, certificates or other evidence of insurance required
by 5.2, certificates of inspection, marked-up record documents and other documents, CONTRACTOR may
make application for final payment following the procedure for progress payments. The final Application for
Payment shall be accompanied (except as previously delivered) by: (i) all documentation called for in the
Contract Documents, including but not limited to the evidence of insurance required, (ii) consent of the surety,
if any, to final payment, and (iii) complete and legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to OWNER)
of all liens arising out of or filed in connection with the Work. In lieu of such releases or waivers of liens and
as approved by OWNER, CONTRACTOR may furnish receipts or release in full and an affidavit of
CONTRACTOR that (i) the releases and receipts include all labor, services, material and equipment for which
a lien could be filed, and (ii) all payrolls, material and equipment bills and other indebtedness connected with
the Work for which OWNER or OWNER's property might in any way be responsible have been paid or
otherwise satisfied. If any Subcontractor or supplier fails to furnish such a release or receipt in full,
CONTRACTOR may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to OWNER to indemnify OWNER against
any lien.
14.12.1. No application for final payment will be accepted by OWNER until approved as-built
documents by CONTRACTOR are accepted and approved by PROFESSIONAL.

14.12.2. Notwithstanding any other provision of these contract documents to the contrary, OW NER
and PROFESSIONAL are under no duty or obligation whatsoever to any vendor, materials provider,
Subcontractor, laborer or other party to ensure that payments due and owing by CONTRACTOR to any of
them are or will be made. Such parties shall rely only on CONTRACTOR's surety bonds for remedy of
nonpayment by him. CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and resolve all claims made by Subcontractors,
indemnifying OWNER and PROFESSIONAL for all claims arising from or resulting from Subcontractor or
supplier or material men or laborer services in connection with this project.
14.12.3. General Indemnity: CONTRACTOR shall indemnify OWNER and PROFESSIONAL for any
damages sustained, including lost profits, resulting from CONTRACTOR's failure or refusal to perform the
work required by these contract documents.
Final Payment and Acceptance:
14.13. If, on the basis of PROFESSIONAL's observation of the Work during construction and final
inspection and PROFESSIONAL's review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying
documentation as required by the Contract Documents, PROFESSIONAL is satisfied that the Work has been
completed and CONTRACTOR's other obligations under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled,
PROFESSIONAL will, within ten (10) working days after receipt of the final Application for Payment, indicate
in writing PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of payment and present the Application to OWNER for
payment. At the same time PROFESSIONAL will also give written notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR
that the Work is acceptable subject to the provisions of 14.6. Otherwise, PROFESSIONAL will return the
application to CONTRACTOR, indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final payment, in
which case CONTRACTOR shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application. After the
presentation to OWNER of the application and accompanying documentation, in appropriate form and
substance and with PROFESSIONAL's recommendation and notice of acceptability, the amount
recommended by PROFESSIONAL will become due and will be paid by OWNER to CONTRACTOR.
14.14. If, through no fault of CONTRACTOR, final completion of the Work is significantly delayed and
if PROFESSIONAL so confirms, OWNER shall, upon receipt of CONTRACTOR's final Application for
Payment and recommendation of PROFESSIONAL and without terminating the Agreement, make payment
of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance to be
held by OWNER for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than the retainage stipulated in the Contract
and if bonds have been furnished as required in Article 5, the written consent of the surety to the payment of
the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by
CONTRACTOR to PROFESSIONAL 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.
CONTRACTOR's Continuing Obligation:
14.15. CONTRACTOR's obligation to perform and complete the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents shall be absolute. Neither recommendation of any progress or final
payment by PROFESSIONAL, nor the issuance of a certificate of Substantial Completion, nor
any payment by OWNER to CONTRACTOR under the Contract Documents, nor any use or
occupancy of the Work or any part thereof by OWNER, nor any act of acceptance by OWNER
nor any failure to do so, nor any review and approval of a Shop Drawing or sample
submission, nor the issuance of a notice of acceptability by PROFESSIONAL pursuant to
paragraph 14.13, nor any correction of defective Work by OWNER will constitute an

CONTRACTOR's obligation to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents
(except as provided in paragraph 14.16).
Waiver of Claims:
14.16. The making and acceptance of final payment will constitute:
14.16.1. A waiver of all claims by OWNER against CONTRACTOR, except claims arising from
unsettled liens, from defective Work appearing after final inspection pursuant to 14.11, from failure to comply
with the Contract Documents or' the terms of any special guarantees specified therein, or from
CONTRACTOR's continuing obligations under the Contract Documents; and

CONTRACTOR shall be allowed an adjustment in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time,
or both, directly attributable to any suspension if CONTRACTOR makes an approved claim therefor as
provided in Articles 11 and 12.

15.2. Upon the occurrence of anyone or more of the following events:
15.2. 1. if CONTRACTOR commences a voluntary case under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code

CONTRACTOR from the site and take possession of the Work and of all CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances,
construction equipment and machinery at the site and use the same to the full extent they could be used by
CONTRACTOR (without liability to CONTRACTOR for trespass or conversion), incorporate in the Work all
materials and equipment stored at the site or for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR but which are
stored elsewhere, and finish the Work as OWNER may deem expedient. In such case CONTRACTOR shall
not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract
Price exceeds the direct, indirect and consequential costs of completing the Work (including but not limited
to fees and charges of PROFESSIONAls, architects, attorneys and other PROFESSIONAls and court and
arbitration costs) such excess will be paid to CONTRACTOR. If such costs exceed such unpaid balance,
CONTRACTOR shall pay the difference to OWNER. Such costs incurred by OWNER will be approved as
to reasonableness by PROFESSIONAL and incorporated in a Change Order, but when exercising any rights
or remedies under this paragraph, OWNER shall not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work
performed.
15.3. In the event OWNER terminates the contract for cause and it is subsequently judicially
determined that there was no cause lor termination, the termination for convenience provision will be the
means for disposition of the balance of the contract obligations.
Termination for Convenience
15.4. Upon seven working days' written notice to CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL, OWNER
may, without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of OWNER, elect to terminate the
Contract. In such case, CONTRACTOR shall be paid (without duplication of any items):

prior to the effective date of termination, including fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such
Work;
15.4.2. For expenses sustained prior to the effective date of termination in performing services and
furnishing labor, materials or equipment as required by the Contract Documents in connection with
uncompleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such expenses;
15.4.3. For all claims, costs, losses and damages incurred in settlement of terminated contracts with
Subcontractors, suppliers and others; and
15.4.4. For reasonable expenses directly attributable to termination.
CONTRACTOR shall not be paid on account of loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other economic loss
arising out of or resulting from such termination.
15.5. Where CONTRACTOR's services have been so terminated by OWNER, the termination will
not affect any rights or remedies of OWNER against CONTRACTOR then existing or which may thereafter
accrue. Any retention or payment of moneys due CONTRACTOR by OWNER will not release
CONTRACTOR from liability.
CONTRACTOR May Stop Work or Terminate:
15.6. If through no act or fault of CONTRACTOR, the Work is suspended for a period of more than

to act on any Application for Payment within thirty days after it is submitted or OWNER fails for thirty-one days
to pay CONTRACTOR any sum finally determined to be due, then CONTRACTOR may upon seven working
days' written notice to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL and provided OWNER or PROFESSIONAL did not
remedy such suspension or failure within that time, terminate the Agreement and recover from OWNER
payment on the same terms as provided in 15.2. In lieu of terminating the Agreement and without prejudice
to any other right or remedy, if PROFESSIONAL has failed to act on an Application for Payment within thirty
days after it is submitted or OWNER has failed for thirty-one calendar days after it is submitted to pay
CONTRACTOR any sum finally determined to be due, CONTRACTOR may upon seven days' written notice
to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL stop the Work until receipt of payment of all such amounts due
CONTRACTOR, including interest thereon. The provisions of this paragraph are not intended to preclude
CONTRACTOR from making claim under Articles 11 and 12 for an increase in Contract Price or Contract
Time or otherwise for expenses or damage directly attributable to CONTRACTOR's stopping Work as
permitted by this paragraph. The provisions of this paragraph shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of the
obligations under paragraph 6.30 to carry on the Work in accordance with the progress schedule and without
delay during disputes and disagreements with OWNER.

in the Contract Time shall be made in writing and delivered to PROFESSIONAL and Project Manager within
seven (7) calendar days of the occurrence first happening and resulting in the claim. Written supporting data

I
I
12.2. If CONTRACfOR is delayed at any time in the performance, progress, commencement, or
completion of the Work by any act or neglect of OWNER or PROFESSIONAL, or by an employee of either, or
by any separate CONTRACfOR employed by OWNER, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by labor
disputes, fire, unavoidable casualties, utility conflicts which could not have been identified or foreseen by
CONTRACfOR using reasonable diligence, or any causes beyond CONTRACTOR's control or fault, then the
Contract Time shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as OWNER may determine.
CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to an extension of time for such causes only for the number of days of delay
which OWNER may determine to be due solely to such causes and only to the extent such occurrences
actually delay the completion of the Work and then only if CONTRACfOR shall have strictly complied with all
the requirements of the Contract Documents. Provided, however, notwithstanding anything in the Contract
Documents to the contrary, no interruption, interference, ineffjdency, suspension or delay in the performance,
progress, commencement or completion of the Work for any cause whatsoever, including those for which
OWNER or PROFESSIONAL may be responsible in whole or in part, shall relieve CONTRACTOR of its duty to
perform or give rise to any right to damages or additional compensation from OWNER. CONTRACTOR's sole
and exclusive remedy against OWNER for interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay of any
aspect of the Work shall be the right to seek an extension to the Contract Time in accordance with the
procedures set forth herein.

given PROFESSIONAL timely notice of CONTRACTOR's intention to cover the same and PROFESSIONAL has
not acted with reasonable promptness in response to such notice.

prior written approval of PROFESSIONAL, or if any Work is covered contrary to the request of

OWNER to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part of OWNER to exercise this right for the
benefit of CONTRACTOR or any other party. CONTRACTOR shall have no right to claim an increase in the
Contract Price or Contract Time or other damages for a stop work order under this paragraph.
Correction or Removal of Defective Work:

(and, prior to PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment, also PROFESSIONAL) prefers to accept
it, OWNER may do so, CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect and consequential costs attributable to
OWNER's evaluation of and determination to accept such defective Work (such costs to be approved by
PROFESSIONAL as to reasonableness and to include but not be limited to fees and charges of
PROFESSIONAls, architects, attorneys and other PROFESSIONALs). If any such acceptance occurs prior to
PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment, a Change Order will be issued incorporating the

attomeys and other PROFESSIONAls, all court costs and all costs of repair and replacement of work of others

against CONTRACfOR, A Change Order shall be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract
Documents, including an appropriate reduction in the Contract Price, If the payments due CONTRACfOR are
not sufficient to cover such amount, CONTRACfOR shall pay the difference to OWNER,

Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed.
Application for Progress Payment:
14.2. At least twenty (20) calendar days before the date established for each progress payment
(but not more often than once a month), CONTRACTOR shall submit to PROFESSIONAL for review an
application for Payment filled out and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the work completed as of the date

Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work
but delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to in writing, the Application for
Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other documentation warranting that OWNER
has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all liens and evidence that the materials and
equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect OWNER's
interest therein, all of which will be satisfactory to OWNER. Payment is subject to a ten percent (10%)
retainage that will be held until the final payment or acceptance by OWNER. The amount of retainage with
respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement.
CONTRACTORs Warranty of Title:
14.3. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment
covered by any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to OWNER no
later than the time of payment free and clear of all Liens.
Review of Applications for Progress Payment:

Payment, either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the application to OWNER,
or return the application to CONTRACTOR indicating in writing PROFESSIONAL's reasons for refusing to
recommend payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit
the application. OWNER shall, within thirty-one calendar days of presentation to him of the application for
payment with PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of the amount for payment, pay CONTRACTOR amount
recommended.
14.5. PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment
will constitute a representation by PROFESSIONAL to OWNER, based on PROFESSIONAL's on-site
observations of the Work in progress as an experienced and qualified design PROFESSIONAL and on PROF-
ESSIONAL's review of the Application for Payment ane! the accompanying data ane! schee!ules that the Work
has progressed to the point indicated; that, to the best of PROFESSIONAL's knowledge, information ane!
belief, the quality' of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents subject to an evaluation of the

Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests
called for in the Contract Documents, to a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price
Work under paragraph 9.10. and to any other qualifications stated in the recommendation"': and that
CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment of the amount recommended. However, by recommending any such
payment PROFESSIONAL will not thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaustive or continuous
on-site inspections have been made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond the
responsibilities specifically assigned to PROFESSIONAL in the Contract Documents or that there may not be
other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by
OWNER or OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR,
14.6. PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment will constitute an additional representation
by PROFESSIONAL to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRACTOR's being entitled to final
payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13 have been fulfilled.
14.7. PROFESSIONAL may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in
PROFESSIONAL's opinion, it would be incorrect to make sllch representations to OWNER, PROFESSIONAL
may also refuse to recommend any sllch payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the
results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such extent
as may be necessary in PROFESSIONAL's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because:
14.7.1. the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or
replacement.
14.7.2, the Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change Order.
14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with
paragraph 13,14. or
14.7.4. of PROFESSIONAL's actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated
in paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.9 inclusive.
OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by PROFESSIONAL because claims
have been made against OWNER on account of CONTRACTOR's performance or furnishing of the Work or
Liens have been filed in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling OWNER to a set-off
against the amount recommended, but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (with a
copy to PROFESSIONAL) stating the reasons for such action.
Substantial Completion:
14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall
notify OWNER and PROFESSIONAL in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except for items
specifically listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that PROFESSIONAL issue a certificate of
Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL
shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion, If PROFESSIm~AL does not con-
sider the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons
therefor. If PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will prepare and

Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or corrected
before final payment. OWNER shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to
make written objection to PROFESSIONAL as to any provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after
considering such objections. PROFESSIONAL concludes that the Work is not substantially complete,
PROFESSIONAL will within fourteen days after submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER notify
CONTRACfOR in writing. stating the reasons therefor. If, after consideration of OWNER's objections,
PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will within said fourteen days
execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACfOR a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a
revised tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative
certificate as PROFESSIONAL believes justified after consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time
of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion PROFESSIONAL will deliver to OWNER and

APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
I
I
The sample form of Schedule of Values is intended as a guide only, Many projects require a more
extensive form with space for numerous items, descriptions of Change Orders, identification of variable
quantity adjustments, summary of materials and equipment stored at the site and other information, It is
expected that a separate form will be developed by Engineer and Contractor at the time Contractor's
Schedule of Values is finalized. Note also that the format for retainage must be changed if the Contract
permits (or the law provides), and Contractor elects to deposit securities in lieu of retainage, Refer to
Article 14 of the General Conditions for provisions concerning payments to Contractor.
B. COMPLETING THE FORM
I
I
I
I
The Schedule of Values, submitted and approved as provided in paragraphs 2.05,B.3 and 2,07 of the
General Conditions, should be reproduced as appropriate in the space indicated on the Application for
Payment form. Note that the cost of materials and equipment is often listed separately from the cost of
installation. Also, note that each Unit Price is deemed to include Contractor's overhead and profit.
All Change Orders affecting the Contract Price should be identified and included in the Schedule of
Values as required for progress payments.
The form is suitable for use in the Final Application for Payment as well as for Progress Payments;
however, the required accompanying documentation is usually more extensive for final payment. All
accompanying documentation should be identified in the space provided on the form,
C. LEGAL REVIEW
I
I
I
I
All accompanying documentation of a legal nature, such as Lien waivers, should be reviewed by an
attorney, and Engineer should so advise Owner.

CHANGE ORDER
INSTRUCTIONS
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
This document was developed to provide a uniform format for handling contract changes that affect Funds
Available or Contract Times. Changes that have been initiated by a Work Change Directive must be incorporated
into a subsequent Change Order if they affect Price or Times,
Changes that affect Funds Available or Contract Times should be promptly covered by a Change Order. The
practice of accumulating Change Orders to reduce the administrative burden may lead to unnecessary disputes.
If Milestones have been listed in the Agreement, any effect of a Change Order thereon should be addressed.
For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract Price or Contract Times,
a Field Order should be used.
B. COMPLETING THE CHANGE ORDER FORM
Engineer normally initiates the form, including a description of the changes involved and attachments based upon
documents and proposals submitted by Contractor, or requests from Owner, or both.
Once Engineer has completed and signed the form, all copies should be sent to Owner or Contractor for approval,
depending on whether the Change Order is a true order to the Contractor or the formalization of a negotiated
agreement for a previously performed change. After approval by one contracting party, all copies should be sent
to the other party for approval. Engineer should make distribution of executed copies after approval by both
parties.
If a change only applies to price or to times, cross out the part of the tabulation that does not apply,

materials, including fine and granular material, such as sand, grit, gravel, and rock
as well as debris, grease, oil, sludge, slime, or any other loose material or
encrustation lodged in the manhole or sewer. Cleaning also involves the removal
of invading roots and any other extraneous debris.
B. Cleaning Classifications.
1. Sewer cleaning shall be categorized into two groups of work:
a. Light cleaning shall be defined as debris levels found in the pipeline that
are not greater than 25 percent of the pipe diameter.
b. Heavy cleaning shall be defined as debris levels found in the pipeline that
are greater than 25 percent of the pipe diameter.
C. Root Removal Classifications.
l. Root removal shall be categorized into two groups of work:
a. Light root removal shall be defined as small, solitary roots or groups of
roots that cover less than 30 percent of the pipe diameter.
b. Heavy root removal shalI be defined as groups of roots or root mass that
covers more than 30 percent of the pipe diameter. This shalI also include
larger tap roots tha impinge beyond the nonnal sewer flow level.
D. Major Blockage. A major blockage shall be defined as an obstruction within the
sewer that cannot be removed by cleaning with commercially available hydraulic
or mechanical cleaning equipment. Removal of a major blockage shall be
provided as a separate work item.
E. The sewers to be cleaned are subject to high flows, either continuously or in a
periodically varying cycle, due to rainfall, infiltration, and/or pumping operations.

For repairs in paved areas, backfilling of the pipe and pavement restoration shall be provided as
shown in Attachment A of this specification. The cost basis for this work item will be paid as
provided in the Pay Item Schedule.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 GENERAL
A. After the limits of a particular portion of the existing sewer have been established on
the ground, operations shall progress generally as follows:
1. The section of pipe to be replaced shall be isolated by plugging and/or
bypass pumping as described in Sections 02750 - Wastewater Flow Control,
of the Contract Documents, or by any other method proposed by the
Contractor and accepted by the OWNER.
2. Carcfully remove or protcct surface features in work area. Expose the
existing pipe. Take adequatc precautions not to disturb any other ex.isting
underground facilities.
3. After the defect is located and exposed, the defective pipe or fitting shall be
removed by cutting cach side along Iincs perpendicular to longitudinal ax.is
of pipe so as to leave "spigot ends" to be connected to replacement pipe and
dispose of the existing pipe and concrete encasement, if any.
4. Excavate the trench to a minimum of 8 inches below the proposed pipe
bottom, place bedding material in the trench and shaped to form continuous
uniform support for the pipe barrel.
5. Pipe shall be installed m accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendation. Before bcing lowered into the trench, the pipes and
accessories shall be carefully examined and the interior of the pipes shall be
thoroughly cleaned of all foreign matter. Pipe shall be installed and jointed,
nom1ally beginning at its low or outlct cnd and procccding upstream, with.
thc bell ends facing upstream toward the direction of flow. Make'
connections to existing manholes or existing pipe remaining in place. Install.
I
wyes or tees, with branches temporarily plugged, to make reconnections to
existing service laterals, as rcquired.
6. Complete placement and compaction of backfill. Backfill materials shall be
placed and spread evenly in layers. When compaction is achieved using
mechanical equipment, the layers shall be evenly spread so that when
compacted each layer shall not exceed 8 inches in thickness. Complete

bedding or encasement and place compacted backfill as necessary to avoid
flotation if watcr should enter the trench.
7. Compaction Rcquiremcnts: Backfill compaction shall be 95% of maximum
density in accordance with ASTM D 1557 - Tcst Mcthod for Laboratory
Compaction Characteristics of Soils Using Modified Effort. All soils testing
of samples submitted by the Contractor will be donc by a testing laboratory
sclectcd by the OWNER.
8. The completed point repair shall tested for deflection using an ASTM
certified rigid bailor mandrel. Deflection testing shall be performed by the
CONTRACTOR and be witnessed by the OWNER after the final backfill
has been in place at least 30 days. No payment will be made for pipe
exceeding 5 percent deflection. Pipe failing to meet the dcflcction limit
shall be removed and replaced by the CONTRACTOR at no additional cost
to the OWNER.
9. Restore surface features to at least as good condition as existed before
construction began, including landscaping, grass and paved areas. Under
no circumstances shall the Contractor be allowed to remove concrete or
asphalt without prior saw cutting. The saw cutting shall be deep enough to
produce an even, straight cut.
