11.02 If OWNER requests the identity of certain Subcontractors, Suppliers, individuals, or
entities to be submitted to OWNER in advance of the Effective Date of the Agreement as
provided for in paragraph 6.06.B.1) of the Supplementary Conditions, the apparent Successful
Bidder, and any other Bidder so requested, shall within seven (7) days after receipt of a written
request from the OWNER or the ENGINEER, submit to OWNER a list of all such
Subcontractors, Suppliers, individuals, or entities proposed for those portions of the Work for
which such identification is required. Such list shall be accompanied by an experience statement
with pertinent information regarding similar projects and other evidence of qualification for each
such Subcontractor, Supplier, individual, or entity if requested by OWNER. If OWNER or
ENGINEER, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any proposed Subcontractor,
Supplier, individual, or entity, OWNER may, before the Notice of Award is given, request
apparent Successful Bidder to submit a substitute, in which case apparent Successful Bidder shall
submit an acceptable substitute, Bidder’s Bid price will be increased (or decreased) by the
difference in cost occasioned by such substitution, and OWNER may consider such price
adjustment in evaluating Bids and making the contract award.

County will suffer damage, the amount of which is difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain.
Therefore, the Contractor shall pay to the County, as liquidated damages, the amount
established in the schedule below for each calendar day of delay that actual completion
extends beyond the time limit specified until such reasonable time as may be required for
final completion of the work. In no way shall costs for liquidated damages be construed as

B. Determination of Number of Days of Default: For all contracts, regardless of whether the
contract time is stipulated in calendar days or working days, the default days shall be counted
in calendar days.
C. Conditions under which Liquidated Damages are imposed: Should the Contractor or, in
case of his default, the Surety, fail to complete the work within the time stipulated in
paragraph 4.02 above, or within such extra time as may have been granted by the County in
accordance with Article 12 of the General Conditions, the Contractor or, in case of his
default, the Surety, shall pay to the County, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages, the
amount so due as determined by the Code requirements, as provided above.
D. Right of Collection: The County shall have the right to apply as payment on such liquidated
damages any money which is due to the Contractor by the County.

E. Permitting Contractor to Finish Work: Permitting the Contractor to continue and to finish
the work, or any part of it, after the expiration of the contract time allowed, including
extensions of time granted to the Contractor, shall in no way act as a waiver on the part of
the County the liquidated damages due under the contract.
F, Completion of Work by County: In case of default of the contract and the completion of
the work by the County, the Contractor and his Surety shall be liable for the liquidated
damages under the contract, but no liquidated damages shall be chargeable for any delay in

2. those drawings of physical conditions in
or relating to existing surface or subsurface
Structures at or contiguous to the Site (except
Underground Facilities) that ENGINEER has used
in preparing the Contract Documents.
’ B. Limited Reliance by CONTRACTOR on Technical
Data Authorized) CONTRACTOR may rely upon the
general accuracy of the “technical data” contained in such
reports and drawings, but such reports and drawings are not
Contract Documents. Such “technical data” is identified in
the Supplementary Conditions. Except for such reliance on
such “technical data,” CONTRACTOR may not rely upon
or make any Claim against OWNER, ENGINEER, or any
of ENGINEER’s Consultants with respect to:
1. the completeness of such reports and
drawings for CONTRACTOR’s purposes, including,
but not limited to, any aspects of the means,
methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures of
construction to be employed by CONTRACTOR,
and safety precautions and programs incident
thereto; or
2. other data, interpretations, opinions, and
information contained in such reports or shown or
indicated in such drawings; or
3. any CONTRACTOR interpretation of or
conclusion drawn from any "technical data" or any
such other data, interpretations, opinions, or
information.
4.03 Differing Subsurface or Physical Conditions
SEE ALSO SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS (SECTION
00800)
A. Notice: If CONTRACTOR believes that any
subsurface or physical condition at or contiguous to the Site
that is uncovered or revealed either:
1. is of such a nature as to establish that any
“technical data” on which CONTRACTOR is
entitled to rely as provided in paragraph 4.02 is
materially inaccurate; or
2. is of such a nature as to require a change
in the Contract Documents; or
3. differs materially from that shown or
indicated in the Contract Documents; or
4. is of an unusual nature, and differs materially from
conditions ordinarily encountered and generally recognized
as inherent in work of the character provided for in the
Contract Documents;
then CONTRACTOR shall, promptly after becoming aware
thereof and before further disturbing the subsurface or
physical conditions or performing any Work in connection
therewith (except in an emergency as required by paragraph
6.16.A), notify OWNER and ENGINEER in writing about
such condition. CONTRACTOR shali not further disturb
such condition or perform any Work in connection
therewith (except as aforesaid) until receipt of written order
to do so.
B. ENGINEER’s Review: After receipt of written
notice as required by paragraph 4.03.A, ENGINEER will
promptly review the pertinent condition, determine the
necessity of OWNER's obtaining additional exploration or
tests with respect thereto, and advise OWNER in writing
(with a copy to CONTRACTOR) of ENGINEER’s findings
and conclusions.
C. Possible Price and Times Adjustments
1. The Contract Price or the Contract
Times, or both, will be equitably adjusted to the
extent that the existence of such differing subsurface
or physical condition causes an increase or decrease
in CONTRACTOR’s cost of, or time required for,
performance of the Work; subject, however, to the
following:
a. such condition must meet any one or
more of the categories described in paragraph
4.03.A; and
General Conditions
Page 00700-12
EEEEEEIEIIETE Tc re
4.04
b. with respect to Work that is paid for on a
Unit Price Basis, any adjustment in Contract
Price will be subject to the provisions of para-
graphs 9.08 and 11.03.
2. | CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to
any adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract
Times if:
a. CONTRACTOR knew of the existence
of such conditions at the time CONTRACTOR
made a final commitment to OWNER in respect
of Contract Price and Contract Times by the
submission of a Bid or becoming bound under a
negotiated contract; or
b. the existence of such condition could
reasonably have been discovered or revealed as a
result of any examination, investigation,
exploration, test, or study of the Site and
contiguous areas required by the Bidding
Requirements or Contract Documents to be
conducted by or for CONTRACTOR prior to
CONTRACTOR's making such final com-
mitment; or
c. CONTRACTOR failed to give the
written notice within the time and as required by
paragraph 4.03.A.
3. If OWNER and CONTRACTOR are
unable to agree on entitlement to or on the amount
or extent, if any, of any adjustment in the Contract
Price or Contract Times, or both, a Claim may be
made therefore as provided in paragraph 10.05.
However, OWNER, ENGINEER, and
ENGINEER’s Consultants shall not be liable to
CONTRACTOR for any claims, costs, losses, or
damages (including but not limited to all fees and
charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other
professionals and all court or arbitration or other
dispute resolution _ costs) sustained — by
CONTRACTOR on or in connection with any other
project or anticipated project.

disturbing conditions affected thereby or performing
any Work in connection therewith (except in an
emergency as required by paragraph 6.16.A),
identify the owner of such Underground Facility and
give written notice to that owner and to OWNER
and ENGINEER. ENGINEER will promptly review
the Underground Facility and determine the extent,
if any, to which a change is required in the Contract
Documents to reflect and document the
consequences of the existence or location of the
Underground Facility. During such time,
CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the safety
and protection of such Underground Facility.
2. IfENGINEER concludes that a change in
the Contract Documents is required, a Work Change
Directive or a Change Order will be issued to reflect
and document such consequences. An equitable
adjustment shall be made in the Contract Price of
Contract Times, or both, to the extent that they are
attributable to the existence or location of any
Underground Facility that was not shown or
indicated or not shown or indicated with reasonable
accuracy in the Contract Documents and that
CONTRACTOR did not know of and could not
reasonably have been expected to be aware of or to
have anticipated. If OWNER and CONTRACTOR
General Conditions
Page 00700-13
are unable to agree on entitlement to or on the
amount or extent, if any, of any such adjustment in

Data Authorized) CONTRACTOR may rely upon the
general accuracy of the “technical data” contained in such
reports and drawings, but such reports and drawings are not
Contract Documents. Such “technical data” is identified in
the Supplementary Conditions. Except for such reliance on
such “technical data,” CONTRACTOR may not rely upon
or make any Claim against OWNER, ENGINEER or any of
ENGINEER’s Consultants with respect to:
1. the completeness of such reports and
drawings for CONTRACTOR’s purposes, including,
but not limited to, any aspects of the means,
methods, techniques, sequences and procedures of
construction to be employed by CONTRACTOR
and safety precautions and programs incident
thereto; or
2. other data, interpretations, opinions and
information contained in such reports or shown or
indicated in such drawings; or
3. any CONTRACTOR interpretation of or
conclusion drawn from any “technical data” or any
such other data, interpretations, opinions or
information.
C. CONTRACTOR shall not be responsible for any

Environmental Condition or if CONTRACTOR or anyone
for whom CONTRACTOR is responsible creates a
Hazardous Environmental Condition, CONTRACTOR
shall immediately: (i) secure or otherwise isolate such
condition; (ii) stop all Work in connection with such
condition and in any area affected thereby (except in an
emergency as required by paragraph 6.16); and (iii) notify
OWNER and ENGINEER (and promptly thereafter confirm
such notice in writing). OWNER shall promptly consult
with ENGINEER concerning the necessity for OWNER to
retain a qualified expert to evaluate such condition or take
corrective action, if any.
E. CONTRACTOR shall not be required to resume
Work in connection with such condition or in any affected
area until after OWNER has obtained any required permits
related thereto and delivered to CONTRACTOR written
notice: (i) specifying that such condition and any affected
area is or has been rendered safe for the resumption of
Work; or (ii) specifying any special conditions under which
such Work may be resumed safely. If OWNER and
CONTRACTOR cannot agree as to entitlement to or on the
amount or extent, if any, of any adjustment in Contract Price
or Contract Times, or both, as a result of such Work stop-
page or such special conditions under which Work is agreed
to be resumed by CONTRACTOR, either party may make a
Claim therefor as provided in paragraph 10.05.
F. If after receipt of such written notice
CONTRACTOR does not agree to resume such Work
based on a reasonable belief it is unsafe, or does not agree
to resume such Work under such special conditions, then
OWNER may order the portion of the Work that is in the
area affected by such condition to be deleted from the
Work. If OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot agree as to

A. CONTRACTOR shall provide competent, suitably
qualified personnel to survey, lay out, and construct the
Work as required by the Contract Documents.
CONTRACTOR shall at all times maintain good discipline
and order at the Site.
B. Except as otherwise required for the safety or
protection of persons or the Work or property at the Site or
adjacent thereto, and except as otherwise stated in the
Contract Documents, all Work at the Site shall be
performed during regular working hours, and CON-
TRACTOR will not permit overtime work or the
performance of Work on Saturday, Sunday, or any legal
holiday without OWNER’s written consent (which will not
be unreasonably withheld) given after prior written notice to
ENGINEER.
6.03 Services, Materials, and Equipment
A. Unless otherwise specified in the General Re-
quirements, CONTRACTOR shall provide and assume full
responsibility for all services, materials, equipment, labor,

A. CONTRACTOR shall adhere to the progress
schedule established in accordance with paragraph 2.07 as it
may be adjusted from time to time as provided below.
1. | CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGI-
NEER for acceptance (to the extent indicated in
paragraph 2.07) proposed adjustments in the prog-
ress schedule that will not result in changing the
Contract Times (or Milestones). Such adjustments
will conform generally to the progress schedule then
in effect and additionally will comply with any
provisions of the General Requirements applicable
thereto.
2. Proposed adjustments in the progress
schedule that will change the Contract Times (or
Milestones) shall be submitted in accordance with
the requirements of Article 12. Such adjustments
may only be made by a Change Order or Written
Amendment in accordance with Article 12.
6.05 Substitutes and “Or-Equals”
A. Whenever an item of material or equipment is
specified or described in the Contract Documents by using
the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular
Supplier, the specification or description is intended to
establish the type, function, appearance, and quality
required. Unless the specification or description contains or
is followed by words reading that no like, equivalent, or
“or-equal” item or no substitution is permitted, other items
of material or equipment or material or equipment of other
Suppliers may be submitted to ENGINEER for review
under the circumstances described below.
L. “Or-Equal” Items: 1f in ENGINEER’s
sole discretion an item of material or equipment
proposed by CONTRACTOR is functionally equal
to that named and sufficiently similar so that no
change in related Work will be required, it may be
considered by ENGINEER as an “or-equal” item, in
General Conditions
Page 00700-19
which case review and approval of the proposed
item may, in ENGINEER’s sole discretion, be
accomplished without compliance with some or all
of the requirements for approval of proposed
substitute items. For the purposes of this paragraph
6.05.A.1, a proposed item of material or equipment
will be considered functionally equal to an item so
named if:
a. in the exercise of reasonable judgment
ENGINEER determines that: (i) it is at least
equal in quality, durability, appearance, strength,
and design characteristics; (ii) it will reliably
perform at least equally well the function
imposed by the design concept of the completed
Project as a functioning whole, and;
b. CONTRACTOR certifies that: (i) there is
no increase in cost to the OWNER; and (ii) it
will conform substantially, even with deviations,
to the detailed requirements of the item named in
the Contract Documents.
2. Substitute Items
a. If in ENGINEER’s sole discretion an
item of material or equipment proposed by
CONTRACTOR does not qualify as an “or-
equal” item under paragraph 6.05.A.1, it will be
considered a proposed substitute item.
b. CONTRACTOR shall submit sufficient
information as provided below to allow ENGI-
NEER to determine that the item of material or
equipment proposed is essentially equivalent to
that named and an acceptable substitute therefor.
Requests for review of proposed substitute items
of material or equipment will not be accepted by
ENGINEER from anyone other than CON-
TRACTOR.
c. The procedure for review by ENGI-
NEER will be as set forth in paragraph
6.05.A.2.d, as supplemented in the General
Requirements and as ENGINEER may decide is
appropriate under the circumstances.
d. CONTRACTOR shail first make written
application to ENGINEER for review of a
proposed substitute item of material or
equipment that CONTRACTOR seeks to furnish
or use. The application shall certify that the
proposed substitute item will perform adequately
the functions and achieve the results called for
by the general design, be similar in substance to
that specified, and be suited to the same use as
that specified. The application will state the
extent, if any, to which the use of the proposed
substitute item will prejudice CONTRACTOR’s
achievement of Substantial Completion on time,
whether or not use of the proposed substitute
item 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 item and whether or not
incorporation or use of the proposed substitute
item in connection with the Work is subject to
payment of any license fee or royalty. All
variations of the proposed substitute item from
that specified will be identified in the applica-
tion, and available engineering, _ sales,
maintenance, repair, and replacement services
will be indicated. The application will also
contain an itemized estimate of all costs or
credits that will result directly or indirectly from
use of such substitute item, including costs of
redesign and claims of other contractors affected
by any resulting change, all of which will be
considered by ENGINEER in evaluating the
proposed substitute item. ENGINEER may
require CONTRACTOR to furnish additional
data about the proposed substitute item.
B. Substitute Construction Methods or Procedures:
If a specific means, method, technique, sequence, or
procedure of construction is shown or indicated in and
expressly required by the Contract Documents, CON-
TRACTOR may fumish or utilize a substitute means,
method, technique, sequence, or procedure of construction
approved by ENGINEER. CONTRACTOR shall submit
sufficient information to allow ENGINEER, in
ENGINEER’s sole discretion, to determine that the
substitute proposed is equivalent to that expressly called for
by the Contract Documents. The procedure for review by
ENGINEER will be similar to that provided in sub
paragraph 6.05.A.2.
C. Engineer’s Evaluation: ENGINEER will be
allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate each
proposal or submittal made pursuant to paragraphs 6.05.A
and 6.05.B. ENGINEER will be the sole judge of
acceptability. No “or-equal” or substitute will be ordered,
installed or utilized until ENGINEER’s review is complete,
which will be evidenced by either a Change Order for a
substitute or an approved Shop Drawing for an “or equal.”
ENGINEER will advise CONTRACTOR in writing of any
negative determination.
D. Special Guarantee) ©QWNER may require
CONTRACTOR to furnish at CONTRACTOR’s expense a
special performance guarantee or other surety with respect
to any substitute.
E. ENGINEER’s Cost Reimbursement: ENGINEER
will record time required by ENGINEER and

or submitted by CONTRACTOR pursuant to paragraphs
6.05.A.2 and 6.05.B and in making changes in the Contract
Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct contract
with OWNER for work on the Project) occasioned thereby.
Whether or not ENGINEER approves a substitute item so
proposed or submitted by CONTRACTOR,
CONTRACTOR shall reimburse OWNER for the charges
of ENGINEER and ENGINEER’s Consultants for
evaluating each such proposed substitute.
F. CONTRACTOR’s Expense: CONTRACTOR shall
provide all data in support of any proposed substitute or
“or-equal” at CONTRACTOR’s expense.
6.06 Concerning Subcontractors, Suppliers, and Others
A. CONTRACTOR shall not employ any Subcon-
tractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity (including
those acceptable to OWNER as indicated in paragraph
6.06.B), whether initially or as a replacement, against whom
OWNER may have reasonable objection. CONTRACTOR
shall not be required to employ any Subcontractor, Supplier,
or other individual or entity to furnish or perform any of the
Work against whom CONTRACTOR has reasonable
objection.
SEE ALSO SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS (SECTION
00800)
B. If the Supplementary Conditions require the
identity of certain Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other
individuals or entities to be submitted to OWNER in
advance for acceptance by OWNER by a specified date prior
to the Effective Date of the Agreement, and if
CONTRACTOR has submitted a list thereof in accordance
with the Supplementary Conditions, OWNER’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 individual or entity so
idéntified may be revoked on the basis of reasonable
objection after due investigation. CONTRACTOR shall
submit an acceptable replacement for the rejected
Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity, and the
Contract Price will be adjusted by the difference in the cost
occasioned by such replacement, and an appropriate Change
Order will be issued or Written Amendment signed. No
acceptance by OWNER of any such Subcontractor, Supplier,
or other individual or entity, whether initially or as a
replacement, shall constitute a waiver of any right of
OWNER or ENGINEER to reject defective Work.
SEE ALSO SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS (SECTION
00800)
C. CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible to
OWNER and ENGINEER for all acts and omissions of the
Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other individuals or entities
performing or furnishing any of the Work just as
CONTRACTOR is responsible for CONTRACTOR’s own
acts and omissions. Nothing in the Contract Documents
shall create for the benefit of any such Subcontractor,
Supplier, or other individual or entity any contractual
relationship between OWNER or ENGINEER and any such
Subcontractor, Supplier or other individual or entity, nor
shall it create any obligation on the part of OWNER or
ENGINEER to pay or to see to the payment of any moneys
due any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or
entity except as may otherwise be required by Laws and
Regulations.
D. CONTRACTOR shall be solely responsible for
scheduling and coordinating the Work of Subcontractors,
Suppliers, and other individuals or entities performing or
furnishing any of the Work under a direct or indirect
contract with CONTRACTOR.
E. CONTRACTOR shall require all Subcontractors,
Suppliers, and such other individuals or entities performing
or furnishing any of the Work to communicate with
ENGINEER through CONTRACTOR.
F. The divisions and sections of the Specifications
and the identifications of any Drawings shall not control
CONTRACTOR in dividing the Work among Subcon-
tractors or Suppliers or delineating the Work to be
performed by any specific trade.
G. All Work performed for CONTRACTOR by a
Subcontractor or Supplier will be pursuant to an appropriate
agreement between CONTRACTOR and the Subcontractor
or Supplier which specifically binds the Subcontractor or
Supplier to the applicable terms and conditions of the
Contract Documents for the benefit of OWNER and
ENGINEER. Whenever any such agreement is with a
Subcontractor or Supplier who is listed as an additional
insured on the property insurance provided in paragraph
5.06, the agreement between the CONTRACTOR and the
Subcontractor or Supplier will contain provisions whereby
the Subcontractor or Supplier waives all rights against
OWNER, CONTRACTOR, ENGINEER, ENGINEER’s
Consultants, and all other individuals or entities identified in
the Supplementary Conditions to be listed as insureds or
additional insureds (and the officers, directors, partners,
employees, agents, and other consultants and subcontractors
of each and any of them) for all losses and damages caused
by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any of the
perils or causes of loss covered by such policies and any
other property insurance applicable to the Work. If the
insurers on any such policies require separate waiver forms
to be signed by any Subcontractor or Supplier,
CONTRACTOR will obtain the same.

separate item as such will not indicate approval of
the assembly in which the item functions.
3. | ENGINEER’s review and approval of
Shop Drawings or Samples shall not relieve CON-
TRACTOR from responsibility for any variation
from the requirements of the Contract Documents
unless CONTRACTOR has in writing called
ENGINEER’s attention to each such variation at the
time of each submittal as required by paragraph
6.17.D3 and ENGINEER has given written

A. The Contract Price may only be changed by a
Change Order or by a Written Amendment. Any Claim for
an adjustment in the Contract Price shall be based on
written notice submitted by the party making the Claim to
the ENGINEER and the other party to the Contract in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph 10.05.
B. The value of any Work covered by a Change
Order or of any Claim for an adjustment in the Contract
Price will be determined as follows:
1. where the Work involved is covered by
unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, by
application of such unit prices to the quantities of the
items involved (subject to the provisions of
paragraph 11.03 ); or
2. where the Work involved is not covered
by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents,
by a mutually agreed lump sum (which may include
an allowance for overhead and profit not necessarily
in accordance with paragraph 12.01.C.2); or
3. where the Work involved is not covered
by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents
and agreement to a lump sum is not reached under
paragraph 12.01.B.2, on the basis of the Cost of the
Work (determined as provided in paragraph 11.01)
plus a CONTRACTOR’ fee for overhead and profit
(determined as provided in paragraph 12.01.C).
C. CONTRACTOR’s Fee: The CONTRACTOR’s
fee for overhead and profit shall be determined as follows:
1. amutually acceptable fixed fee; or
2. if'a fixed fee is not agreed upon, then a
fee based on the following percentages of the
various portions of the Cost of the Work:
a. for costs incurred under paragraphs
11.01.A.1 and 11.01.A.2, the CONTRACTOR’s
fee shall be 15 percent;
b. for costs incurred under paragraph
11.01.4.3, the CONTRACTOR’s fee shall be
five percent;
General Conditions
Page 00700-33
c. where one or more tiers of subcontracts
are on the basis of Cost of the Work plus a fee
and no fixed fee is agreed upon, the intent of
paragraph 12.01.C.2.a is that the Subcontractor
who actually performs the Work, at whatever
tier, will be paid a fee of 15 percent of the costs
incurred by such Subcontractor under paragraphs
11.01.A.1 and 11.01.A.2 and that any higher tier
Subcontractor and CONTRACTOR will each be
paid a fee of five percent of the amount paid to
the next lower tier Subcontractor;
d. no fee shall be payable on the basis of
costs itemized under paragraphs 11.01.A.4,
11.01.A.5, and 11.01.B;
e. the amount of credit to be allowed by
CONTRACTOR to OWNER for any change
which results in a net decrease in cost will be the
amount of the actual net decrease in cost plus a
deduction in CONTRACTOR’s fee by an
amount equal to five percent of such net
decrease; and
f; when both additions and credits are in-
volved in any one change, the adjustment in
CONTRACTOR’s fee shal! be computed on the
basis of the net change in accordance with
paragraphs 12.01.C.2.a through 12.01.C.2.,
inclusive.
12.02 Change of Contract Times
A. The Contract Times (or Milestones) may only be
changed by a Change Order or by a Written Amendment.
Any Claim for an adjustment in the Contract Times (or
Milestones) shall be based on written notice submitted by
the party making the claim to the ENGINEER and the other
party to the Contract in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 10.05.
B. Any adjustment of the Contract Times (or
Milestones) covered by a Change Order or of any Claim for
an adjustment in the Contract Times (or Milestones) will be
determined in accordance with the provisions of this
Article 12.
12.03 Delays Beyond CONTRACTOR’s Control
A. Where CONTRACTOR is prevented from
completing any part of the Work within the Contract Times
(or Milestones) due to delay beyond the control of
CONTRACTOR, the Contract Times (or Milestones) will
be extended in an amount equal to the time lost due to such
delay if a Claim is made therefore as provided in paragraph
12.02.A. Delays beyond the control of CONTRACTOR
shall include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect by
OWNER, acts or neglect of -utility owners or other
contractors performing other work as contemplated by
Article 7, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather
conditions, or acts of God.
12.04 Delays Within CONTRACTOR’s Control
A. The Contract Times (or Milestones) will not be
extended due to delays within the control of
CONTRACTOR. Delays attributable to and within the
control of a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be
delays within the control of CONTRACTOR.
12.05 Delays Beyond OWNER’s and CONTRACTOR’s
Control
A. Where CONTRACTOR is prevented from
completing any part of the Work within the Contract Times
(or Milestones) due to delay beyond the control of both
OWNER and CONTRACTOR, an extension of the
Contract Times (or Milestones) in an amount equal to the
time lost due to such delay shall be CONTRACTOR’s sole
and exclusive remedy for such delay.
12.06 Delay Damages
A. In no event shall OWNER or ENGINEER be
liable to CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any Supplier,
or any other person or organization, or to any surety for or
employee or agent of any of them, for damages arising out
of or resulting from:
1. delays caused by or within the control of
CONTRACTOR; or
2. delays beyond the control of both
OWNER and CONTRACTOR including but not
limited to fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal weather
conditions, acts of God, or acts or neglect by utility
owners or other contractors performing other work
as contemplated by Article 7.
B. Nothing in this paragraph 12.06 bars a change in
Contract Price pursuant to this Article 12 to compensate
CONTRACTOR due to delay, interference, or disruption
directly attributable to actions or inactions of OWNER or
anyone for whom OWNER is responsible.
ARTICLE 13 - TESTS AND INSPECTIONS;
CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR ACCEPTANCE OF
DEFECTIVE WORK
13.01 Notice of Defects
A. Prompt notice of all defective Work of which
OWNER or ENGINEER has actual knowledge will be
given to CONTRACTOR. All defective Work may be

ee
rejected, corrected, or accepted as provided in this
Article 13.
13.02 Access to Work
A. OWNER, ENGINEER, ENGINEER’s Con-
sultants, other representatives and personnel of OWNER,
independent testing laboratories, and governmental agencies
with jurisdictional interests will have access to the Site and
the Work at reasonable times for their observation,
inspecting, and testing. CONTRACTOR shall provide
them proper and safe conditions for such access and advise
them of CONTRACTOR’s Site safety procedures and
programs so that they may comply therewith as applicable.
13.03 Tests and Inspections
SEE SUPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS (SECTION 00800)
C. If Laws or Regulations of any public body having
jurisdiction require any Work (or part thereof) specifically
to be inspected, tested, or approved by an employee or other
representative of such public body, CONTRACTOR shall
assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such
inspections, tests, or approvals, pay all costs in connection
therewith, and furnish ENGINEER the required certificates
of inspection or approval.
D. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for
arranging and obtaining and shall pay all costs in connection
with any inspections, tests, or approvals required for
OWNER’s and ENGINEER’s acceptance of materials or
equipment to be incorporated in the Work; or acceptance of
materials, mix designs, or equipment submitted for approval
prior to CONTRACTOR’s purchase thereof for
incorporation in the Work. Such inspections, tests, or
approvals shall be performed by organizations acceptable to
OWNER and ENGINEER.
E. If any Work (or the work of others) that is to be
inspected, tested, or approved is covered by CONTRAC-
TOR without written concurrence of ENGINEER, it must,
if requested by ENGINEER, be uncovered for observation.
F. Uncovering Work as provided in paragraph
13.03.E shall be at CONTRACTOR’s expense unless
CONTRACTOR has given ENGINEER timely notice of
CONTRACTOR’s intention to cover the same and
ENGINEER has not acted with reasonable promptness in
response to such notice.
13.04 Uncovering Work
A. If any Work is covered contrary to the written
request of ENGINEER, it must, if requested by ENGI-
NEER, be uncovered for ENGINEER’s observation and
replaced at CONTRACTOR’s expense.
B. If ENGINEER considers it necessary or advisable
that covered Work be observed by ENGINEER or
inspected or tested by others, CONTRACTOR, at
ENGINEER’s request, shall uncover, expose, or otherwise
make available for observation, inspection, or testing as
ENGINEER may require, that portion of the Work in
question, furnishing all necessary labor, material, and
equipment. If it is found that such Work is defective,
CONTRACTOR shall pay all Claims, costs, losses, and
damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and
all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs)
arising out of or relating to such uncovering, exposure,
observation, inspection, and testing, and of satisfactory
replacement or reconstruction (including but not limited to
all costs of repair or replacement of work of others); and
OWNER shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the
Contract Price. If the parties are unable to agree-as to the
amount thereof, OWNER may make a Claim therefor as
provided in paragraph 10.05. If, however, such Work is not
found to be defective, CONTRACTOR shall be allowed an
increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the
Contract Times (or Milestones), or both, directly attribut-
able to such uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection,
testing, replacement, and reconstruction. If the parties are
unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof,
CONTRACTOR may make a Claim therefore as provided
in paragraph 10.05.
13.05 OWNER May Stop the Work
A. Ifthe Work is defective, or CONTRACTOR fails
to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or
equipment, or fails to perform the Work in such a way that
the completed Work will conform to the Contract
Documents, OWNER may order CONTRACTOR to stop
General Conditions
Page 00700-35
the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such
order has been eliminated; however, this right of OWNER
to stop the Work shall not give rise to any duty on the part
of OWNER to exercise this right for the benefit of
CONTRACTOR, any Subcontractor, any Supplier, any
other individual or entity, or any surety for, or employee or
agent of any of them.
13.06 | Correction or Removal of Defective Work
A. CONTRACTOR shall correct all defective Work,
whether or not fabricated, installed, or completed, or, if the
Work has been rejected by ENGINEER, remove it from the
Project and replace it with Work that is not defective.
CONTRACTOR shall pay all Claims, costs, losses, and
damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and
all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs)
arising out of or relating to such correction or removal
(including but not limited to all costs of repair or
replacement of work of others).
13.07 Correction Period
A. If within one year after the date of Substantial
Completion or such longer period of time as may be
prescribed by Laws or Regulations or by the terms of any
applicable special guarantee required by the Contract
Documents or by any specific provision of the Contract
Documents, any Work is found to be defective, or if the
repair of any damages to the land or areas made available
for CONTRACTOR’s use by OWNER or permitted by
Laws and Regulations as contemplated in paragraph 6.11.A
is found to be defective, CONTRACTOR shall promptly,
without cost to OWNER and in accordance with OWNER’s
written instructions: (i) repair such defective land or areas,
or (ii) correct such defective Work or, if the defective Work
has been rejected by OWNER, remove it from the Project
and replace it with Work that is not defective, and (iii)
satisfactorily correct or repair or remove and replace any
damage to other Work, to the work of others or other land
or areas resulting there from. If CONTRACTOR does not
promptly comply with the terms of such instructions, or in
an emergency where delay would cause serious risk of loss
or damage, OWNER may have the defective Work
corrected or repaired or may have the rejected Work
removed and replaced, and all Claims, costs, losses, and
damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and
all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs)
arising out of or relating to such correction or repair or such
removal and replacement (including but not limited to all
costs of repair or replacement of work of others) will be
paid by CONTRACTOR.
B. In special circumstances where a particular item of
equipment is placed in continuous service before
Substantial Completion of all the Work, the correction
period for that item may start to run from an earlier date if
so provided in the Specifications or by Written Amendment.
C. Where defective Work (and damage to other Work
resulting there from) has been corrected or removed and
replaced under this paragraph 13.07, the correction period
hereunder with respect to such Work will be extended for
an additional period of one year after such correction or
removal and replacement has been satisfactorily completed.
D. CONTRACTOR’s | obligations under __ this
paragraph 13.07 are in addition to any other obligation or
warranty. The provisions of this paragraph 13.07 shall not
be construed as a substitute for or a waiver of the provisions
of any applicable statute of limitation or repose.
13.08 Acceptance of Defective Work
A. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and
replacement of defective Work, OWNER (and, prior to
ENGINEER’s recommendation of final payment,
ENGINEER) prefers to accept it, OWNER may do so.
CONTRACTOR shall pay all Claims, costs, losses, and
damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and
all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs)
attributable to OWNER’s evaluation of and determination
to accept such defective Work (such costs to be approved
by ENGINEER as to reasonableness) and the diminished
value of the Work to the extent not otherwise paid by
CONTRACTOR pursuant to this sentence. If any such
acceptance occurs prior to ENGINEER’s recommendation
of final payment, a Change Order will be issued
incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract
Documents with respect to the Work, and OWNER shall be
entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price,
reflecting the diminished value of Work so accepted. If the
parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof,
OWNER may make a Claim therefore as provided in
paragraph 10.05. If the acceptance occurs after such
recommendation, an appropriate amount will be paid by
CONTRACTOR to OWNER.
13.09 OWNER May Correct Defective Work
A. If CONTRACTOR fails within a reasonable time
after written notice from ENGINEER to correct defective
Work or to remove and replace rejected Work as required
by ENGINEER in accordance with paragraph 13.06.A, or if
CONTRACTOR fails to perform the Work in accordance
with the Contract Documents, or if CONTRACTOR fails to
comply with any other provision of the Contract
Documents, OWNER may, after seven days written notice
to CONTRACTOR, correct and remedy any such
deficiency.
B. In exercising the rights and remedies under this
paragraph, OWNER shall proceed expeditiously. In
General Conditions
Page 00700-36
CC ___X=___ a ee
‘
connection with such corrective and remedial action,
OWNER may exclude CONTRACTOR from all or part of
the Site, take possession of all or part of the Work and
suspend CONTRACTOR’s services related thereto, take
possession of CONTRACTOR’s tools, appliances, con-
struction equipment and machinery at the Site, and
incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored
at the Site or for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR
but which are stored elsewhere. CONTRACTOR shall
allow OWNER, OWNER’s representatives, agents and
employees, OWNER’s other contractors, and ENGINEER
and ENGINEER’s Consultants access to the Site to enable
OWNER to exercise the rights and remedies under this
paragraph.
C. All Claims, costs, losses, and damages (including
but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers,
architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or
arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) incurred or
sustained by OWNER in exercising the rights and remedies
under this paragraph 13.09 will be charged against
CONTRACTOR, and a Change Order will be issued
incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract
Documents with respect to the Work; and OWNER shail be
entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract Price. If
the parties are unable to agree as fo the amount of the
adjustment, OWNER may make a Claim therefore as
provided in paragraph 10.05. Such claims, costs, losses and
damages will include but not be limited to all costs of
repair, or replacement of work of others destroyed or
damaged by correction, removal, or replacement of
CONTRACTOR’s defective Work.
D. CONTRACTOR shall not be allowed an extension
of the Contract Times (or Milestones) because of any delay
in the performance of the Work attributable to the exercise
by OWNER of OWNER’s rights and remedies under this
paragraph 13.09.
ARTICLE 14 - PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND
- COMPLETION
14.01 Schedule of Values
A. The schedule of values established as provided in
paragraph 2.07.A will serve as the basis for progress
payments and will be incorporated into a form of Applica-
tion for Payment acceptable to ENGINEER. _ Progress
payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on
the number of units completed.
14.02 Progress Payments
A. Applications for Payments
1. At least 20 days before the date estab-
lished for each progress payment (but not more often
than once a month), CONTRACTOR shall submit to
ENGINEER for review an Application for Payment
filled out and signed by CONTRACTOR covering
the Work completed as of the date of the
Application and accompanied by such supporting
documentation as is required by the Contract
Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of
’ materials and 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 or other
arrangements to protect OWNER’s interest therein,
all of which must be satisfactory to OWNER.
2. Beginning with the second Application
for Payment, each Application shall include an
affidavit of CONTRACTOR stating that all previous
progress payments received on account of the Work
have been applied on account to discharge
CONTRACTOR’s legitimate obligations associated
with prior Applications for Payment.
3. The amount of retainage with respect to
pro-gress payments will be as stipulated in the
Agreement.
B. Review of Applications
i. ENGINEER will, within 10 days after
receipt of each Application for Payment, either
indicate in writing a recommendation of payment
and present the Application to OWNER or return the
Application to CONTRACTOR indicating in writing
ENGINEER’s reasons for refusing to recommend
payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may
make the necessary corrections and resubmit the
Application.
2. | ENGINEER’s recommendation of any
payment requested in an Application for Payment
will constitute a representation by ENGINEER to
OWNER, based on ENGINEER’s observations on
the Site of the executed Work as an experienced and
qualified design professional and on ENGINEER's
review of the Application for Payment and the
accompanying data and schedules, that to the best of
ENGINEER’s knowledge, information and belief:
General Conditions
Page 00700-37
a. the Work has progressed to the point
indicated;
b. the quality of the Work is generally 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 9.08, and to any other qualifications
stated in the recommendation); and
c. the conditions precedent to
CONTRACTOR’s being entitled to such pay-
ment appear to have been fulfilled in so far as it
is ENGINEER’s responsibility to observe the
Work.
3. By recommending any such payment
ENGINEER will not thereby be deemed to have
represented that: (i) inspections made to check the
quality or the quantity of the Work as it has been
performed have been exhaustive, extended to every
aspect of the Work in progress, or involved detailed
inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities
specifically assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract
Documents; or (ii) that there may not be other
matters or issues between the parties that might
entitle CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by
OWNER or entitle OWNER to withhold payment to
CONTRACTOR.
4. Neither ENGINEER’s review of
CONTRACTOR’s Work for the purposes of
recommending payments nor ENGINEER’s
recommendation of any payment, including final
payment, will impose responsibility on ENGINEER
to supervise, direct, or control the Work or for the
means, methods, techniques, sequences, or
procedures of construction, or the safety precautions
and programs incident thereto, or for
CONTRACTOR’s failure to comply with Laws and
Regulations applicable to CONTRACTOR’s
performance of the Work. Additionally, said review
or recommendation will not impose responsibility on
ENGINEER to make any examination to ascertain
how or for what purposes CONTRACTOR has used
the moneys paid on account of the Contract Price, or
to determine that title to any of the Work, materials,
or equipment has passed to OWNER free and clear
of any. Liens.
SEE ALSO SUPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS
(SECTION 00800)
5. | ENGINEER may refuse to recommend
the whole or any part of any payment if, in
ENGINEER’s opinion, it would be incorrect to
make the representations to OWNER referred to in
paragraph 14,02.B.2. ENGINEER may also refuse
to recommend any such payment or, because of
subsequently discovered evidence or the results of
subsequent inspections or tests, revise or revoke any
such payment recommendation previously made, to
such extent as may be necessary in ENGINEER’s
opinion to protect OWNER from loss because:
a. the Work is defective, or completed
Work has been damaged, requiring correction or
replacement;
b. the Contract Price has been reduced by
Written Amendment or Change Orders;
c. OWNER has been required to correct
defective Work or complete Work in accordance
with paragraph 13.09; or
d. ENGINEER has actual knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the events enumerated in
paragraph 15.02.A.
C. Payment Becomes Due
1. Ten days after presentation of the
Application for Payment to OWNER with
ENGINEER’s recommendation, the amount recom-
mended will (subject to the provisions of paragraph
14.02.D) become due, and when due will be paid by
OWNER to CONTRACTOR.
D. Reduction in Payment
1. OWNER may refuse to make payment of
the full amount recommended by ENGINEER
because:
a. claims have been made against OWNER
on account of CONTRACTOR’s performance or
furnishing of the Work;
b. Liens have been filed in connection with
the Work, except where CONTRACTOR has
delivered a specific Bond satisfactory to OWN-
ER to secure the satisfaction and discharge of
such Liens;
c. there are other items entitling OWNER to
a set off against the amount recommended; or
d. OWNER has actual knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the events enumerated in
General Conditions
Page 00700-38
paragraphs 14.02.B.5.a through 14.02.B.5.c or
paragraph 15.02.A.
2. If OWNER refuses to make payment of
the full amount recommended by ENGINEER,
OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate
written notice (with a copy to ENGINEER) stating
the reasons for such action and promptly pay
CONTRACTOR any amount remaining after
deduction of the amount so withheld. OWNER shall
promptly pay CONTRACTOR the amount so
withheld, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by
OWNER and CONTRACTOR, when
CONTRACTOR corrects to OWNER’s satisfaction
the reasons for such action.
3. If it is subsequently determined that
OWNER’s refusal of payment was not justified, the
amount wrongfully withheld shall be treated as an
amount due as determined by paragraph 14.02.C.1.
14.03 CONTRACTOR’s Warranty of Title
A. 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.
14.04 Substantial Completion
A. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work
ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall notify
OWNER and ENGINEER in writing that the entire Work is
substantially complete (except for items specifically listed
by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that
ENGINEER issue a certificate of Substantial Completion.
Promptly thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR, and
ENGINEER shall make an inspection of the Work to
determine the status of completion. If ENGINEER does not
consider the Work substantially complete, ENGINEER will
notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons
therefore. If ENGINEER considers the Work substantially
complete, ENGINEER will prepare and deliver to OWNER
a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall
fix the date of Substantial Completion. There shall be
attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be
completed or corrected before final payment. OWNER
shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate
during which to make written objection to ENGINEER as
to any provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after
considering such objections, ENGINEER concludes that the
Work is not substantially complete, ENGINEER will within
14 days after submission of the tentative certificate to
OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing, stating the
reasons therefore. If, after consideration of OWNER’s
objections, ENGINEER considers the Work substantially
complete, ENGINEER will within said 14 days execute and
deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive
certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised
tentative list of items to be completed or corrected)
reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as
ENGINEER believes justified after consideration of any
objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery of the
tentative certificate of Substantial Completion ENGINEER
will deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written
recommendation as to division of responsibilities pending
final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with
respect to security, operation, safety, and protection of the
Work, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance, and warranties
and guarantees. Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR
agree otherwise in writing and so inform ENGINEER in
writing prior to ENGINEER’s issuing the definitive
certificate of Substantial Completion, ENGINEER’s
aforesaid recommendation will be binding on OWNER and
CONTRACTOR until final payment.
B. OWNER shall have the right to exclude
CONTRACTOR from the Site after the date of Substantial
Completion, but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR
reasonable access to complete or correct items on the
tentative list.
14.05 Partial Utilization
A. Use by OWNER at OWNER’s option of any
substantially completed part of the Work which has
specifically been identified in the Contract Documents, or
which OWNER, ENGINEER, and CONTRACTOR agree
constitutes a separately functioning and usable part of the
Work that can be used by OWNER 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 conditions.
1. OWNER at any time may request CON-
TRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use any
such part of the Work which OWNER believes to be
ready for its intended use and substantially complete.
If CONTRACTOR agrees that such part of the
Work is substantially complete, CONTRACTOR
will certify to OWNER and ENGINEER that such
part of the Work is substantially complete and
request ENGINEER to issue a certificate of
Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.
CONTRACTOR at any time may notify OWNER
and ENGINEER in writing that CONTRACTOR
considers any such part of the Work ready for its
intended use and substantially complete and request
ENGINEER to issue a certificate of Substantial
Completion for that part of the Work. Within a
reasonable time after either such request, OWNER,
CONTRACTOR, and ENGINEER shall make an
inspection of that part of the Work to determine its
status of completion. If ENGINEER does not
General Conditions
Page 00700-39
consider that part of the Work to be substantially
complete, ENGINEER will notify OWNER and
CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons
therefore. If ENGINEER considers that part of the
Work to be substantially complete, the provisions of
paragraph 14.04 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.
SEE SUPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS (SECTION
00800)
14.06 Final Inspection
A. Upon written notice from CONTRACTOR that
the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is complete,
ENGINEER will promptly make a final inspection with
OWNER and CONTRACTOR and will notify CON-
TRACTOR in writing of all particulars in which this
inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective.
CONTRACTOR shall immediately take such measures as
are necessary to complete such Work or remedy such
deficiencies.
14.07 Final Payment
A. Application for Payment
1. After CONTRACTOR has, in the
opinion of ENGINEER, satisfactorily completed all
corrections identified during the final inspection and
has delivered, in accordance with the Contract
Documents, all maintenance and operating
instructions, schedules, guarantees, | Bonds,
certificates or other evidence of insurance
certificates of inspection, marked-up record
documents (as provided in paragraph 6.12), and
other documents, CONTRACTOR may make
application for final payment following the
procedure for progress payments.
2. The final Application for Payment shall
be accompanied (except as previously delivered) by:
(i) all documentation called for in the Contract
Documents, including but not limited to the
evidence of insurance required by subparagraph
5.04.B.7; (ii) consent of the surety, if any, to final
payment; and (iii) complete and legally effective
releases or waivers (satisfactory to OWNER) of all
Lien rights arising out of or Liens filed in connection
with the Work.
3. In lieu of the releases or waivers of Liens
specified in paragraph 14.07.A.2 and as approved by
OWNER, CONTRACTOR may furnish receipts or
releases in full and an affidavit of CONTRACTOR
that: (i) the releases and receipts include all labor,
services, material, and equipment for which a Lien
could be filed; and (ii) all payrolls, material and
equipment bills, and other indebtedness connected
with the Work 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.
B. Review of Application and Acceptance
1. If, on the basis of ENGINEER’s observa-
tion of the Work during construction and final
inspection, and ENGINEER’s review of the final
Application for Payment and accompanying docu-
mentation as required by the Contract Documents,
ENGINEER is satisfied that the Work has been
completed and CONTRACTOR’s other obligations
under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled,
ENGINEER will, within ten days after receipt of the
final Application for Payment, indicate in writing
ENGINEER’s recommendation of payment and
present the Application for Payment to OWNER for
payment. At the same time ENGINEER will also
give written notice to OWNER and CON-
TRACTOR that the Work is acceptable subject to
the provisions of paragraph 14.09. Otherwise,
ENGINEER will return the Application for Payment
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 for
Payment.

TRACTOR.
14.08 Final Completion Delayed
A. If, through no fault of CONTRACTOR, final

CONTRACTOR’s final Application for Payment and
recommendation of ENGINEER, and without terminating
the Agreement, make payment of the balance due for that
General Conditions
Page 00700-40
portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If the
remaining balance to be held by OWNER for Work not
fully completed or corrected is less than the retainage
stipulated in the Agreement, and if Bonds have been
furnished as required in paragraph 5.01, the written consent
of the surety to the payment of the balance due for that
portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be
submitted by CONTRACTOR to ENGINEER with the
Application for such payment. Such payment shall be made
under the terms and conditions governing final payment,
except that it shall not constitute a waiver of Claims.
14.09 Waiver of Claims
A. The making and acceptance of final payment will
constitute:
1, a waiver of all Claims by OWNER
against CONTRACTOR, except Claims arising
from unsettled Liens, from defective Work
appearing after final inspection pursuant to
paragraph 14.06, 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
2. a waiver of all Claims by CONTRAC-
TOR against OWNER other than those previously
made in writing which are still unsettled.
ARTICLE 15 - SUSPENSION OF WORK AND
TERMINATION
15.01 OWNER May Suspend Work
A. At any time and without cause, OWNER may
suspend the Work or any portion thereof for a period of not
more than 90 consecutive days by notice in writing to
CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER which will fix the date
on which Work will be resumed. CONTRACTOR shall
resume the Work on the date so fixed. CONTRACTOR
shall be allowed an adjustment in the Contract Price or an
extension of the Contract Times, or both, directly
attributable to any such suspension if CONTRACTOR
makes a Claim therefor as provided in paragraph 10.05.
15.02 OWNER May Terminate for Cause
A. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events will justify termination for cause:
L. CONTRACTOR’s persistent failure to
perform the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to
supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materi-
als or equipment or failure to adhere to the progress
schedule established under paragraph 2.07 as:
adjusted from time to time pursuant to paragraph
6.04);
2. CONTRACTOR’s disregard of Laws or
Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction,
3. CONTRACTOR’s disregard of the
authority of ENGINEER; or
4. CONTRACTOR’s violation in any
substantial way of any provisions of the Contract
Documents.
B. Ifone or more of the events identified in paragraph
15.02.A occur, OWNER may, after giving CONTRACTOR
(and the surety, if any) seven days written notice, terminate
the services of CONTRACTOR, exclude CONTRACTOR
from the Site, and take possession of the Work and of all
CONTRACTOR’s tools, appliances, construction equip-
ment, 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 all claims, costs, losses, and
damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and
all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs)
sustained by OWNER arising out of or relating to
completing the Work, such excess will be paid to
CONTRACTOR. If such claims, costs, losses, and
damages exceed such unpaid balance, CONTRACTOR
shall pay the difference to OWNER. Such claims, costs,
losses, and damages incurred by OWNER will be reviewed
by ENGINEER as to their reasonableness and, when so
approved by ENGINEER, incorporated in a Change Order.
When exercising any rights or remedies under this
paragraph OWNER shall not be required to obtain the
lowest price for the Work performed.
C. 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.
15.03 OWNER May Terminate For Convenience
A. Upon seven days written notice to CON-
TRACTOR and ENGINEER, OWNER may, without cause
and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of
General Conditions
Page 00700-41
OWNER, elect to terminate the Contract. In such case,
CONTRACTOR shall be paid (without duplication of any
items):
1. for completed and acceptable Work
executed in accordance with the Contract Docu-
ments prior to the effective date of termination,
including fair and reasonable sums for overhead and
profit on such Work;
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;
3. for all claims, costs, losses, and damages
(including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other
professionals and all court or arbitration or other
dispute resolution costs) incurred in settlement of
terminated contracts with Subcontractors, Suppliers,
and others; and
4. for reasonable expenses directly
attributable to termination.
B. 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.
15.04 CONTRACTOR May Stop Work or Terminate
A. If, through no act or fault of CONTRACTOR, the
Work is suspended for more than 90 consecutive days by
OWNER or under an order of court or other public
authority, or ENGINEER fails to act on any Application for
Payment within 30 days after it is submitted, or OWNER
fails for 30 days to pay CONTRACTOR any sum finally
determined to be due, then CONTRACTOR may, upon
seven days written notice to OWNER and ENGINEER, and
provided OWNER or ENGINEER do not remedy such
suspension or failure within that time, terminate the
Contract and recover from OWNER payment on the same
terms as provided in paragraph 15.03. In lieu of terminating
the Contract and without prejudice to any other right or
remedy, if ENGINEER has failed to act on an Application
for Payment within 30 days after it is submitted, or
OWNER has failed for 30 days to pay CONTRACTOR any
sum finally determined to be due, CONTRACTOR may,
seven days after written notice to OWNER and
ENGINEER, stop the Work until payment is made of all
such amounts due CONTRACTOR, including interest
thereon. The provisions of this paragraph 15.04 are not
intended to preclude CONTRACTOR from making a Claim
under paragraph 10.05 for an adjustment in Contract Price
or Contract Times or otherwise for expenses or damage
directly attributable to CONTRACTOR’s stopping the
Work as permitted by this paragraph.
ARTICLE 16 - DISPUTE RESOLUTION
16.01 Methods and Procedures
A. Dispute resolution methods and procedures, if any,
shall be as set forth in the Supplementary Conditions. If no
method and procedure has been set forth, and subject to the
provisions of paragraphs 9.09 and 10.05, OWNER and
CONTRACTOR may exercise such rights or remedies as
either may otherwise have under the Contract Documents or
by Laws or Regulations in respect of any dispute.

Contract Documents, and the provisions of this paragraph
will be as effective as if repeated specifically in the Contract
Documents in connection with each particular duty,
obligation, right, and remedy to which they apply.

scheduling or progress of the Work nor interfere with or relieve CONTRACTOR from CONTRACTOR's
full responsibility therefor. CONTRACTOR's schedule of Shop Drawing and Sample submissions will be
acceptable to ENGINEER as providing a workable arrangement for reviewing and processing the required

CONTRACTOR may make a claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price in accordance with Article 10
if the parties are unable to agree as to the effect of any such variations in the quantity of Unit Price Work
performed."
SC-13.03.B CONTRACTOR shall employ and pay for the services of an independent testing laboratory

prepare a list of the items remaining to be completed or corrected thereon before final payment. If
CONTRACTOR does not object in writing to OWNER and ENGINEER that such part of the Work is not
ready for separate operation by OWNER, ENGINEER will finalize the list of items to be completed or
corrected and will deliver such lists 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

1.2 GENERAL SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
i D
A. Scheduling. Where appropriate in various required administrative submittals (listings of
products, manufacturers, supplier and subcontractors, and in job progress schedule), show
principle work-related submittal requirements and time schedules for coordination and
integration of submittal activity with related work in each instance.
B. Coordination of Submittal Times. Prepare and transmit each submittal to the Engineer
sufficiently in advance of performing related work or other applicable activities, so the
installation will not be delayed or improperly sequenced by processing times, including
non-approval and resubmittal (if required). Coordinate with other submittals, testing,
purchasing, delivery and similar sequenced activities. No extension of time will be
authorized because of Contractor's failure to transmit submittals to the Engineer sufficiently
in advance of the work.
C. Sequencing Requirements. As applicable in each instance, do not proceed with a unit of
work until submittal procedures have been sequenced with related units of work, in a
manner which will ensure that the action will not need to be later modified or rescinded by
reason of a subsequent submittal which should have been processed earlier or concurrently
for coordination.
Preparation of Submittals. Provide permanent marking on each submittal to identify
project, date, Contractor, subcontractor, submittal name and similar information to
distinguish it from other submittals. Show Contractor's executed review and approval
marking and provide space for the Engineer's "Action" marking. Package each submittal
appropriately for transmittal and handling. Submittals which are received from sources
other than through the Contractor's office will be returned “without action".
E. Transmittal Identification.
1. | Number transmittals in sequence for each Division of the Specifications. The number
before the dash indicates the Section of the Specifications, and the number after the
dash is the sequence number of the transmittal (15140-1 would be the first transmittal
applicable to Section 15140 of the Specifications. 15140-2 would be the second
transmittal for Section 15140, etc.).
2. Identify resubmittals with a letter of the alphabet following the original number,
using A for the first resubmittal, B for the second resubmittal, etc. A resubmittal
affecting transmittal 15140-1 would then be numbered 15140-1A. The 15140-1
would then be entered in the space "Previous Transmittal Number", which is left
blank except on resubmittals.
1.3 SPECIFIC CATEGORY REQUIREMENTS
