Contractor and Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators,

successors, and assigns to Owner for the performance of the Contract, which is incorporated herein by

reference.

1. If Contractor performs the Contract, Surety and Contractor have no obligation under this Bond, except to

participate in conferences as provided in Paragraph 2.1.

2. If there is no Owner Default, Surety’s obligation under this Bond shall arise after:

2.1 Owner has notified Contractor and Surety, at the addresses described in Paragraph 9 below, that

Owner is considering declaring a Contractor Default and has requested and attempted to arrange a

conference with Contractor and Surety to be held not later than 15 days after receipt of such notice

to discuss methods of performing the Contract. If Owner, Contractor, and Surety agree, Contractor

shall be allowed a reasonable time to perform the Contract, but such an agreement shall not waive

Owner’s right, if any, subsequently to declare a Contractor Default; and

2.2 Owner has declared a Contractor Default and formally terminated Contractor’s right to complete

the Contract. Such Contractor Default shall not be declared earlier than 20 days after Contractor

and Surety have received notice as provided in Paragraph 2.1; and

2.3 Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract Price to:

1. Surety in accordance with the terms of the Contract; or

2. Another contractor selected pursuant to Paragraph 3.3 to perform the Contract.

3. When Owner has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 2, Surety shall promptly, and at Surety’s expense,

take one of the following actions:

3.1 Arrange for Contractor, with consent of Owner, to perform and complete the Contract; or

3.2 Undertake to perform and complete the Contract itself, through its agents or through independent

contractors; or

3.3 Obtain bids or negotiated proposals from qualified contractors acceptable to Owner for a contract

for performance and completion of the Contract, arrange for a contract to be prepared for execution

by Owner and contractor selected with Owner’s concurrence, to be secured with performance and

payment bonds executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Contract, and

pay to Owner the amount of damages as described in Paragraph 5 in excess of the Balance of the

Contract Price incurred by Owner resulting from Contractor Default; or

3.4 Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for completion, or obtain a new contractor, and

with reasonable promptness under the circumstances:

1. After investigation, determine the amount for which it may be liable to Owner and, as soon as

practicable after the amount is determined, tender payment therefor to Owner; or

2. Deny liability in whole or in part and notify Owner citing reasons therefor.

4. If Surety does not proceed as provided in Paragraph 3 with reasonable promptness, Surety shall be

deemed to be in default on this Bond 15 days after receipt of an additional written notice from Owner to

Surety demanding that Surety perform its obligations under this Bond, and Owner shall be entitled to enforce

any remedy available to Owner. If Surety proceeds as provided in Paragraph 3.4, and Owner refuses the

payment tendered or Surety has denied liability, in whole or in part, without further notice Owner shall be

entitled to enforce any remedy available to Owner.

5. After Owner has terminated Contractor’s right to complete the Contract, and if Surety elects to act under

Paragraph 3.1, 3.2, or 3.3 above, then the responsibilities of Surety to Owner shall not be greater than those

of Contractor under the Contract, and the responsibilities of Owner to Surety shall not be greater than those

of Owner under the Contract. To the limit of the amount of this Bond, but subject to commitment by Owner

of the Balance of the Contract Price to mitigation of costs and damages on the Contract, Surety is obligated

without duplication for:



5.1 The responsibilities of Contractor for correction of defective Work and completion of the Contract;

5.2 Additional legal, design professional, and delay costs resulting from Contractor’s Default, and

resulting from the actions of or failure to act of Surety under Paragraph 3; and

5.3 Liquidated damages, or if no liquidated damages are specified in the Contract, actual damages

caused by delayed performance or non=performance of Contractor.

6. Surety shall not be liable to Owner or others for obligations of Contractor that are unrelated to the

Contract, and the Balance of the Contract Price shall not be reduced or set off on account of any such

unrelated obligations. No right of action shall accrue on this Bond to any person or entity other than Owner

or its heirs, executors, administrators, or successors.

7. Surety hereby waives notice of any change, including changes of time, to Contract or to related

subcontracts, purchase orders, and other obligations.

8. Any proceeding, legal or equitable, under this Bond may be instituted in any court of competent

jurisdiction in the location in which the Work or part of the Work is located, and shall be instituted within

two years after Contractor Default or within two years after Contractor ceased working or within two years

after Surety refuses or fails to perform its obligations under this Bond, whichever occurs first. If the

provisions of this paragraph are void or prohibited by law, the minimum period of limitation available to

sureties as a defense in the jurisdiction of the suit shall be applicable.

9. Notice to Surety, Owner, or Contractor shall be mailed or delivered to the address shown on the signature

page.

10. When this Bond has been furnished to comply with a statutory requirement in the location where the

Contract was to be performed, any provision in this Bond conflicting with said statutory requirement shall be

deemed deleted herefrom and provisions conforming to such statutory requirement shall be deemed

incorporated herein. The intent is that this Bond shall be construed as a statutory bond and not as a common

law bond.

11. Definitions.

11.1 Balance of the Contract Price: The total amount payable by Owner to Contractor under the

Contract after all proper adjustments have been made, including allowance to Contractor of any

amounts received or to be received by Owner in settlement of insurance or other Claims for

behalf of Contractor under the Contract.

Bid opening or the thirtieth day after the Effective Date of

the Agreement, whichever date is earlier.

2.04 Starting the Work

A. Contractor shall start to perform the Work on

the date when the Contract Times commence to run. No

Work shall be done at the Site prior to the date on which

the Contract Times commence to run.

2.05 Before Starting Construction

A. Preliminary Schedules: Within 10 days after

the Effective Date of the Agreement (unless otherwise

specified in the General Requirements), Contractor shall

submit to Engineer for timely review:

1. a preliminary Progress Schedule; indicating

the times (numbers of days or dates) for starting and

completing the various stages of the Work, including any

Milestones specified in the Contract Documents;

2. a preliminary Schedule of Submittals; and

3. a preliminary Schedule of Values for all of the

Work which includes quantities and prices of items which

when added together equal the Contract Price and subdi

vides the Work into component parts in sufficient detail to

serve as the basis for progress payments during

performance of the Work. Such prices will include an

appropriate amount of overhead and profit applicable to

each item of Work.

2.06 Preconstruction Conference

A. Before any Work at the Site is started, a

conference attended by Owner, Contractor, Engineer, and

others as appropriate will be held to establish a working

understanding among the parties as to the Work and to

discuss the schedules referred to in Paragraph 2.05.A,

procedures for handling Shop Drawings and other


submittals, processing Applications for Payment, and

maintaining required records.

held to review for acceptability to Engineer as provided

below the schedules submitted in accordance with

Paragraph 2.05.A. Contractor shall have an additional 10

days to make corrections and adjustments and to complete

and resubmit the schedules. No progress payment shall be

made to Contractor until acceptable schedules are

submitted to Engineer.

1. The Progress Schedule will be acceptable to

Engineer if it provides an orderly progression of the Work

to completion within the Contract Times. Such acceptance

will not impose on Engineer responsibility for the

Progress Schedule, for sequencing, scheduling, or

progress of the Work nor interfere with or relieve

Contractor from Contractor’s full responsibility therefor.

2. Contractor’s Schedule of Submittals will be

acceptable to Engineer if it provides a workable

arrangement for reviewing and processing the required

submittals.

3. Contractor’s Schedule of Values will be

acceptable to Engineer as to form and substance if it

provides a reasonable allocation of the Contract Price to

component parts of the Work.

Effective Date of the Agreement if there were no Bids),

except as may be otherwise specifically stated in the

Contract Documents.

2. No provision of any such standard,

specification, manual or code, or any instruction of a

Supplier shall be effective to change the duties or

responsibilities of Owner, Contractor, or Engineer, or any

of their subcontractors, consultants, agents, or employees

from those set forth in the Contract Documents. No such

provision or instruction shall be effective to assign to

Owner, or Engineer, or any of, their Related Entities, any

duty or authority to supervise or direct the performance of

the Work or any duty or authority to undertake respon

sibility inconsistent with the provisions of the Contract

Documents.

3.03 Reporting and Resolving Discrepancies

a. the provisions of any standard, specification,

manual, code, or instruction (whether or not

specifically incorporated by reference in the

Contract Documents); or

b. the provisions of any Laws or Regulations

applicable to the performance of the Work

(unless such an interpretation of the provisions

of the Contract Documents would result in viola

tion of such Law or Regulation).

ARTICLE 4 AVAILABILITY OF LANDS;

SUBSURFACE AND PHYSICAL CONDITIONS;

HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS;

REFERENCE POINTS

4.01 Availability of Lands


A. Owner shall furnish the Site. Owner shall

notify Contractor of any encumbrances or restrictions not

of general application but specifically related to use of the

Site with which Contractor must comply in performing

the Work. Owner will obtain in a timely manner and pay

for easements for permanent structures or permanent

changes in existing facilities. If Contractor and Owner 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, as a result of any delay in

Owner’s furnishing the Site or a part thereof, Contractor

may make a Claim therefor as provided in Paragraph

10.05.

B. Upon reasonable written request, Owner shall

furnish Contractor with a current statement of record legal

title and legal description of the lands upon which the

Work is to be performed and Owner’s interest therein as

necessary for giving notice of or filing a mechanic's or

construction lien against such lands in accordance with

applicable Laws and Regulations.

C. Contractor shall provide for all additional

lands and access thereto that may be required for

temporary construction facilities or storage of materials

and equipment.

4.02 Subsurface and Physical Conditions

A. Reports and Drawings: The Supplementary

Conditions identify:

1. those reports of explorations and tests of

subsurface conditions at or contiguous to the Site that

Engineer has used in preparing the Contract Documents;

and

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 or Engineer, or any of

their Related Entities 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

A. Notice: If Contractor believes that any subsur

face 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 connec

tion therewith (except in an emergency as required by

Paragraph 6.16.A), notify Owner and Engineer in writing

about such condition. Contractor shall 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


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 Paragraphs

9.07 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 with respect to 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, explo

ration, test, or study of the Site and contiguous

areas required by the Bidding Requirements or

Contract Documents to be conducted by or for

Contractor prior to Contractor's making such

final commitment; or

c. Contractor failed to give the written notice 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 therefor as provided in

Paragraph 10.05. However, Owner and Engineer, and any

of their Related Entities 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.

4.04 Underground Facilities

A. Shown or Indicated: The information and data

shown or indicated in the Contract Documents with

respect to existing Underground Facilities at or

contiguous to the Site is based on information and data

furnished to Owner or Engineer by the owners of such

Underground Facilities, including Owner, or by others.

Unless it is otherwise expressly provided in the Sup

plementary Conditions:

1. Owner and Engineer shall not be responsible

for the accuracy or completeness of any such information

or data; and

2. the cost of all of the following will be

included in the Contract Price, and Contractor shall have

full responsibility for:

a. reviewing and checking all such information

and data,

b. locating all Underground Facilities shown or

indicated in the Contract Documents,

c. coordination of the Work with the owners of

such Underground Facilities, including Owner,

during construction, and

d. the safety and protection of all such Under

ground Facilities and repairing any damage

thereto resulting from the Work.

B. Not Shown or Indicated

1. If an Underground Facility is uncovered or

revealed at or contiguous to the Site which was not shown

or indicated, or not shown or indicated with reasonable

accuracy in the Contract Documents, Contractor shall,

promptly after becoming aware thereof and before further

disturbing conditions affected thereby or performing any

Work in connection therewith (except in an emergency as

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 Under

ground Facility. During such time, Contractor shall be

responsible for the safety and protection of such

Underground Facility.

2. If Engineer 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 or 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 are unable to agree on

entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if any, of any

such adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times,

Owner or Contractor may make a Claim therefor as

provided in Paragraph 10.05.

4.05 Reference Points

A. Owner shall provide engineering surveys to

establish reference points for construction which in

Engineer’s judgment are necessary to enable Contractor

to proceed with the Work. Contractor shall be responsible

for laying out the Work, shall protect and preserve the

established reference points and property monuments, and

shall make no changes or relocations without the prior


written approval of Owner. Contractor shall report to

Engineer whenever any reference point or property

monument is lost or destroyed or requires relocation

because of necessary changes in grades or locations, and

shall be responsible for the accurate replacement or

relocation of such reference points or property

monuments by professionally qualified personnel.

4.06 Hazardous Environmental Condition at Site

A. Reports and Drawings: Reference is made to

the Supplementary Conditions for the identification of

those reports and drawings relating to a Hazardous

Environmental Condition identified at the Site, if any, that

have been utilized by the Engineer in the preparation of

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 or Engineer, or any of

their Related Entities 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

Hazardous Environmental Condition uncovered or re

vealed at the Site which was not shown or indicated in

Drawings or Specifications or identified in the Contract

Documents to be within the scope of the Work.

Contractor shall be responsible for a Hazardous

Environmental Condition created with any materials

brought to the Site by Contractor, Subcontractors,

Suppliers, or anyone else for whom Contractor is

responsible.

D. If Contractor encounters a Hazardous

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.A); 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

entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if any, of an

adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times as a result

of deleting such portion of the Work, then either party

may make a Claim therefor as provided in Paragraph

10.05. Owner may have such deleted portion of the Work

performed by Owner’s own forces or others in accordance

with Article 7.

G. To the fullest extent permitted by Laws and

Regulations, Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless

Contractor, Subcontractors, and Engineer, and the

officers, directors, partners, employees, agents,

consultants, and subcontractors of each and any of them

from and against 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 a Hazardous

Environmental Condition, provided that such Hazardous

Environmental Condition: (i) was not shown or indicated

in the Drawings or Specifications or identified in the

Contract Documents to be included within the scope of

the Work, and (ii) was not created by Contractor or by

anyone for whom Contractor is responsible. Nothing in

this Paragraph 4.06. G shall obligate Owner to indemnify

any individual or entity from and against the conse

quences of that individual’s or entity’s own negligence.

H. To the fullest extent permitted by Laws and

Regulations, Contractor shall indemnify and hold

harmless Owner and Engineer, and the officers, directors,

partners, employees, agents, consultants, and


subcontractors of each and any of them from and against

all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not

limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects,


arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) arising out of

or relating to a Hazardous Environmental Condition

created by Contractor or by anyone for whom Contractor

is responsible. Nothing in this Paragraph 4.06.H shall

obligate Contractor to indemnify any individual or entity

from and against the consequences of that individual’s or

entity’s own negligence.

I. The provisions of Paragraphs 4.02, 4.03, and

insureds (and the officers, directors, partners, employees,

agents, consultants and subcontractors of each and any of

them) in such policies and will provide primary coverage

for all losses and damages caused by the perils or causes

of loss covered thereby. All such policies shall contain

provisions to the effect that in the event of payment of

any loss or damage the insurers will have no rights of

recovery against any of the insureds or additional insureds

thereunder. Owner and Contractor waive all rights against

each other and their respective officers, directors,

partners, employees, agents, consultants and

subcontractors of each and any of them for all losses and

damages caused by, arising out of or resulting from any of

the perils or causes of loss covered by such policies and

making such waiver may have to the proceeds of

insurance held by Owner as trustee or otherwise payable

under any policy so issued.

B. Owner waives all rights against Contractor,

Subcontractors, and Engineer, and the officers, directors,


subcontractors of each and any of them for:

caused by, arising out of, or resulting from fire or other

perils whether or not insured by Owner; and

2. loss or damage to the completed Project or

part thereof caused by, arising out of, or resulting from

fire or other insured peril or cause of loss covered by any

property insurance maintained on the completed Project

or part thereof by Owner during partial utilization

pursuant to Paragraph 14.05, after Substantial Completion

agents, consultants and subcontractors of each and any of

them.

5.08 Receipt and Application of Insurance Proceeds

A. Any insured loss under the policies of

insurance required by Paragraph 5.06 will be adjusted

with Owner and made payable to Owner as fiduciary for

the insureds, as their interests may appear, subject to the

requirements of any applicable mortgage clause and of

Paragraph 5.08.B. Owner shall deposit in a separate

account any money so received and shall distribute it in

accordance with such agreement as the parties in interest

may reach. If no other special agreement is reached, the

damaged Work shall be repaired or replaced, the moneys

so received applied on account thereof, and the Work and

the cost thereof covered by an appropriate Change Order .

B. Owner as fiduciary shall have power to adjust

and settle any loss with the insurers unless one of the

parties in interest shall object in writing within 15 days

after the occurrence of loss to Owner’s exercise of this

power. If such objection be made, Owner as fiduciary

shall make settlement with the insurers in accordance with

such agreement as the parties in interest may reach. If no

such agreement among the parties in interest is reached,

Owner as fiduciary shall adjust and settle the loss with the

insurers and, if required in writing by any party in

interest, Owner as fiduciary shall give bond for the proper

performance of such duties.

5.09 Acceptance of Bonds and Insurance; Option to

Replace

A. If either Owner or Contractor has any

objection to the coverage afforded by or other provisions

of the bonds or insurance required to be purchased and

maintained by the other party in accordance with Article 5

on the basis of nonconformance with the Contract

Documents, the objecting party shall so notify the other

party in writing within 10 days after receipt of the

certificates (or other evidence requested) required by

Paragraph 2.01.B. Owner and Contractor shall each

provide to the other such additional information in respect

of insurance provided as the other may reasonably

request. If either party does not purchase or maintain all

of the bonds and insurance required of such party by the

Contract Documents, such party shall notify the other

party in writing of such failure to purchase prior to the

start of the Work, or of such failure to maintain prior to

any change in the required coverage. Without prejudice to

any other right or remedy, the other party may elect to

obtain equivalent bonds or insurance to protect such other

party's interests at the expense of the party who was

required to provide such coverage, and a Change Order

shall be issued to adjust the Contract Price accordingly.

5.10 Partial Utilization, Acknowledgment of Property

Insurer

A. If Owner finds it necessary to occupy or use a

portion or portions of the Work prior to Substantial

Completion of all the Work as provided in Paragraph

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 Engineer for

acceptance (to the extent indicated in Paragraph 2.07)

proposed adjustments in the Progress Schedule that will

not result in changing the Contract Times. Such adjust

ments will comply with any provisions of the General Re

quirements applicable thereto.

2. Proposed adjustments in the Progress

Schedule that will change the Contract Times shall be

submitted in accordance with the requirements of Article

12. Adjustments in Contract Times may only be made by

a Change Order.

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 “orequal” 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.

1. “Or�Equal” Items: If 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

“orequal” item, in 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:

1) it is at least equal in materials of

construction, quality, durability, appearance,

strength, and design characteristics;

2) it will reliably perform at least

equally well the function and achieve the results

imposed by the design concept of the completed

Project as a functioning whole,

3) it has a proven record of performance

and availability of responsive service; and

b. Contractor certifies that, if approved and

incorporated into the Work:

1) there will be no increase in cost to

the Owner or increase in Contract Times, and

2) it will conform substantially 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 “orequal” 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 Engineer 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 Contractor.


c. The requirements for review by Engineer 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 shall 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:

1) shall certify that the proposed substi

tute item will:

a) perform adequately the functions and

achieve the results called for by the

general design,

b) be similar in substance to that

specified, and

c) be suited to the same use as that

specified;

2) will state:

a) the extent, if any, to which the use of

the proposed substitute item will preju

dice Contractor’s achievement of

Substantial Completion on time;

b) whether or not use of the proposed

substitute item in the Work will require

a change in any of the Contract Docu

ments (or in the provisions of any other

direct contract with Owner for other

work on the Project) to adapt the design

to the proposed substitute item; and

c) whether or not incorporation or use

of the proposed substitute item in con

nection with the Work is subject to

payment of any license fee or royalty;

3) will identify:

a) all variations of the proposed

substitute item from that specified , and

b) available engineering, sales,

maintenance, repair, and replacement

services;

4) and shall contain an itemized esti

mate 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,

B. Substitute Construction Methods or Proce�

dures: If a specific means, method, technique, sequence,

or procedure of construction is expressly required by the

Contract Documents, Contractor may furnish 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 requirements

for review by Engineer will be similar to those provided

in 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 may require Contractor to furnish

additional data about the proposed substitute item.

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: Owner 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 Engineer’s costs in evaluating a substitute

proposed or submitted by Contractor pursuant to

Paragraphs 6.05.A.2 and 6.05.B Whether or not Engineer

approves a substitute item so proposed or submitted by

Contractor, Contractor shall reimburse Owner for the

charges of Engineer for evaluating each such proposed

substitute. Contractor shall also reimburse Owner for the

charges of Engineer for making changes in the Contract

Documents (or in the provisions of any other direct

contract with Owner) resulting from the acceptance of

each proposed substitute.

F. Contractor’s Expense: Contractor shall

provide all data in support of any proposed substitute or

“orequal” 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.


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 identified may be revoked on the basis of reason

able 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 . No acceptance by Owner of

any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or

entity, whether initially or as a replacement, shall consti

tute a waiver of any right of Owner or Engineer to reject

defective Work.

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:

1. 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

2. shall anything in the Contract Documents

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 per

forming or furnishing any of the Work to communicate

with Engineer through Contractor.

F. The divisions and sections of the Specifica

tions 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 appro

priate 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, and Engineer,, 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,

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.

6.07 Patent Fees and Royalties

A. 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. If a particular invention, design, process, product,

or device is specified in the Contract Documents for use

in the performance of the Work and if to the actual

knowledge of Owner or Engineer its use is subject to

patent rights or copyrights calling for the payment of any

license fee or royalty to others, the existence of such

rights shall be disclosed by Owner in the Contract

Documents.

B. To the fullest extent permitted by Laws and









or relating to any infringement of patent rights or

responsibility to make certain that the Specifications and

Drawings are in accordance with Laws and Regulations,

but this shall not relieve Contractor of Contractor’s

obligations under Paragraph 3.03.

C. Changes in Laws or Regulations not known at

the time of opening of Bids (or, on the Effective Date of

the Agreement if there were no Bids) having an effect on

the cost or time of performance of the Work shall be the

subject of an adjustment in Contract Price or Contract

Times. If Owner and Contractor are unable to agree on

entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if any, of any

such adjustment, a Claim may be made therefor as

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 involved

in any one change, the adjustment in

Contractor’s fee shall be computed on the basis

of the net change in accordance with Paragraphs

12.01.C.2.a through 12.01.C.2.e, inclusive.

12.02 Change of Contract Times

A. The Contract Times may only be changed by

a Change Order. Any Claim for an adjustment in the

Contract Times 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


B. Any adjustment of the Contract Times

covered by a Change Order or any Claim for an

adjustment in the Contract Times will be determined in

accordance with the provisions of this Article 12.

12.03 Delays

A. Where Contractor is prevented from

completing any part of the Work within the Contract

Times due to delay beyond the control of Contractor, the

Contract Times will be extended in an amount equal to

the time lost due to such delay if a Claim is made therefor

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 contemplat

ed by Article 7, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal

weather conditions, or acts of God.

B. If Owner, Engineer, or other contractors or

utility owners performing other work for Owner as

contemplated by Article 7, or anyone for whom Owner is

responsible, delays, disrupts, or interferes with the

performance or progress of the Work, then Contractor

shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the Contract

Price or the Contract Times , or both. Contractor’s

entitlement to an adjustment of the Contract Times is

conditioned on such adjustment being essential to

Contractor’s ability to complete the Work within the

Contract Times.

C If Contractor is delayed in the performance or

progress of the Work by fire, flood, epidemic, abnormal

weather conditions, acts of God, acts or failures to act of

utility owners not under the control of Owner, or other

causes not the fault of and beyond control of Owner and

Contractor, then Contractor shall be entitled to an

equitable adjustment in Contract Times, if such


adjustment is essential to Contractor’s ability to complete

the Work within the Contract Times. Such an adjustment

shall be Contractor’s sole and exclusive remedy for the

delays described in this Paragraph 12.03.C.

D. Owner, Engineer and the Related Entities of

each of them 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,


arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) sustained by

Contractor on or in connection with any other project or

anticipated project.

E. Contractor shall not be entitled to an

adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times for 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.

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 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. Promptly after receipt of notice, Contractor

otherwise impair Owner’s special warranty and guarantee,

if any, on said Work.

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 the terms of any applicable special

guarantee required by the Contract Documents) or by any

specific provision of the Contract Documents, any Work

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



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

with any other provision of the Contract Documents,

Owner may, after seven days written notice to Contractor,

correct or remedy any such deficiency.

B. In exercising the rights and remedies under

this Paragraph 13.09, Owner shall proceed expeditiously.

In connection with such corrective or 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 posses

sion of Contractor’s tools, appliances, construction

equipment and machinery at the Site, and incorporate in

the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Site or

for which Owner has paid Contractor but which are stored

elsewhere. Contractor shall allow Owner, Owner’s

representatives, agents and employees, Owner’s other

contractors, and Engineer and Engineer’s consultants

access to the Site to enable Owner to exercise the rights

and remedies under this Paragraph.

shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the Contract

Price. If the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of

the adjustment, Owner may make a Claim therefor 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.

ARTICLE 14 PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND

COMPLETION

14.01 Schedule of Values

A. The Schedule of Values established as provid

ed 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 established in

the Agreement 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

progress payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement.


B. Review of Applications

1. 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:

a. the Work has progressed to the point indicat

ed;

b. the quality of the Work is generally in accor

dance 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 9.07, and to any other

qualifications stated in the recommendation); and

c. the conditions precedent to Contractor’s being

entitled to such payment appear to have been

fulfilled in so far as it is Engineer’s

responsibility to observe the Work.

3. By recommending any such payment Engineer

will not thereby be deemed to have represented that:

a. 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 responsi

bilities specifically assigned to Engineer in the

Contract Documents; or

b. 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:

a. to supervise, direct, or control the Work, or

b. for the means, methods, techniques,

sequences, or procedures of construction, or the

safety precautions and programs incident thereto,

or

c. for Contractor’s failure to comply with Laws

and Regulations applicable to Contractor’s

performance of the Work, or

d. to make any examination to ascertain how or

for what purposes Contractor has used the

moneys paid on account of the Contract Price, or

e. to determine that title to any of the Work,

materials, or equipment has passed to Owner free

and clear of any Liens.

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

stated in Paragraph 14.02.B.2. Engineer may also refuse

to recommend any such payment or, because of subse

quently 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 replace

ment;

b. the Contract Price has been reduced by

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 recommended 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 furnish

ing of the Work;


b. Liens have been filed in connection with the

Work, except where Contractor has delivered a

specific bond satisfactory to Owner to secure the

satisfaction and discharge of such Liens;

c. there are other items entitling Owner to a

setoff against the amount recommended; or

d. Owner has actual knowledge of the occurrence

of any of the events enumerated in 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 will 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.

B. Promptly after Contractor’s notification, ,

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 therefor.

C. If Engineer considers the Work substantially

complete, Engineer will 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 therefor. 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 correct

ed) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate

as Engineer believes justified after consideration of any

objections from Owner.

D. At the time of delivery of the tentative

certificate of Substantial Completion, Engineer will

deliver to Owner and Contractor a written recommen

dation 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.

E. Owner shall have the right to exclude

Contractor from the Site after the date of Substantial

Completion subject to allowing Contractor reasonable

access to complete or correct items on the tentative list.

14.05 Partial Utilization

A. Prior to Substantial Completion of all the

Work, Owner may use or occupy 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, subject to the following condi

tions.

1. Owner at any time may request Contractor in

writing to permit Owner to use or occupy any such part of

the Work which Owner believes to be ready for its

intended use and substantially complete. If and when

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.

2. 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 substan


tially complete and request Engineer to issue a certificate

of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.

3. Within a reasonable time after either such

request, Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an

inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status

of completion. If Engineer does not consider that part of

the Work to be substantially complete, Engineer will

notify Owner and Contractor in writing giving the reasons

therefor. If Engineer considers that part of the Work to be

substantially complete, the provisions of 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.

4. No use or occupancy or separate operation of

part of the Work may occur prior to compliance with the

requirements of Paragraph 5.10 regarding property

insurance.

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 Contractor in

writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals

that the Work is incomplete or defective. Contractor shall

immediately take such measures as are necessary to

complete such Work or remedy such deficiencies.

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, markedup 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:

a. all documentation called for in the Contract

Documents, including but not limited to the

evidence of insurance required by Paragraph

5.04.B.7;

b. consent of the surety, if any, to final payment;

c. a list of all Claims against Owner that

Contractor believes are unsettled; and

d. 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. Engineer’s Review of Application and

Acceptance

1. If, on the basis of Engineer’s observation of

the Work during construction and final inspection, and

Engineer’s review of the final Application for Payment

and accompanying documentation as required by the

Contract Documents, Engineer is satisfied that the Work

has been 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

Contractor that the Work is acceptable subject to the

provisions of Paragraph 14.09. Otherwise, Engineer will

return the Application for Payment to Contractor, indicat

ing 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.

C. Payment Becomes Due

1. Thirty days after the presentation to Owner of

the Application for Payment and accompanying docu

mentation, the amount recommended by Engineer, less

any sum Owner is entitled to set off against Engineer’s

recommendation, including but not limited to liquidated

damages, will become due and , will be paid by Owner to

Contractor.

14.08 Final Completion Delayed

A. If, through no fault of Contractor, final

completion of the Work is significantly delayed, and if

Engineer so confirms, Owner shall, upon receipt of

Contractor’s final Application for Payment (for Work

fully completed and accepted) and recommendation of


Engineer, and without terminating the Contract, make

payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work

fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance 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 Contractor against

Owner other than those previously made in accordance

with the requirements herein and expressly acknowledged

by Owner in writing as 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 granted an adjust

ment 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


15.02 Owner May Terminate for Cause

A. The occurrence of any one or more of the

following events will justify termination for cause:

1. 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 materials 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. If one or more of the events identified in

Paragraph 15.02.A occur, Owner may, after giving

Contractor (and surety ) seven days written notice of its

intent to terminate the services of Contractor:

1. exclude 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),

2. 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

3. complete the Work as Owner may deem

expedient.

C. If Owner proceeds as provided in Paragraph

15.02.B, Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any

further payment until the Work is completed. 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.

D. Notwithstanding Paragraphs 15.02.B and

15.02.C, Contractor’s services will not be terminated if

Contractor begins within seven days of receipt of notice

of intent to terminate to correct its failure to perform and

proceeds diligently to cure such failure within no more

than 30 days of receipt of said notice.

E. 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.

F. If and to the extent that Contractor has

provided a performance bond under the provisions of

Paragraph 5.01.A, the termination procedures of that bond

shall supersede the provisions of Paragraphs 15.02.B, and

15.02.C.

15.03 Owner May Terminate For Convenience

A. Upon seven days written notice to Contractor

and Engineer, Owner may, without cause and without

prejudice to any other right or remedy of Owner,

terminate the Contract. In such case, Contractor shall be

paid for (without duplication of any items):

1. completed and acceptable Work executed in

accordance with the Contract Documents prior to the

effective date of termination, including fair and

reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such Work;

2. 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. all claims, costs, losses, and damages




costs) incurred in settlement of terminated contracts with

Subcontractors, Suppliers, and others; and

4. 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, (i)

the Work is suspended for more than 90 consecutive days

by Owner or under an order of court or other public

authority, or (ii) Engineer fails to act on any Application

for Payment within 30 days after it is submitted, or (iii)

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


B. 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.

B. Coordination of Work: Review other Sections in which primers are provided to ensure compatibility of the total system for various substrates. On request, furnish information on characteristics of finish materials to ensure use of compatible primers.

1. Notify Architect about anticipated problems when using the materials specified over substrates primed by others.

3.2 PREPARATION

A. General: Remove hardware and hardware accessories, plates, machined surfaces, lighting fixtures, and similar items already installed that are not to be painted. If removal is impractical or impossible because of size or weight of the item, provide surface�applied protection before surface preparation and painting.

1. After completing painting operations in each space or area, reinstall items removed using workers skilled in the trades involved.

B. Cleaning: Before applying paint or other surface treatments, clean substrates of substances that could impair bond of the various coatings. Remove oil and grease before cleaning.

1. Schedule cleaning and painting so dust and other contaminants from the cleaning process will not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces.

C. Surface Preparation: Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted according to manufacturer's written instructions for each particular substrate condition and as specified.

1. Provide barrier coats over incompatible primers or remove and reprime. 2. Cementitious Materials: Prepare concrete, concrete unit masonry, cement

plaster, and mineral�fiber�reinforced cement panel surfaces to be painted. Remove efflorescence, chalk, dust, dirt, grease, oils, and release agents. Roughen as required to remove glaze. If hardeners or sealers have been used to improve curing, use mechanical methods of surface preparation.

a. Use abrasive blast�cleaning methods if recommended by paint manufacturer.

b. Determine alkalinity and moisture content of surfaces by performing appropriate tests. If surfaces are sufficiently alkaline to cause the finish paint to blister and burn, correct this condition before application. Do not paint surfaces if moisture content exceeds that permitted in manufacturer's written instructions.

c. Clean concrete floors to be painted with a 5 percent solution of muriatic acid or other etching cleaner. Flush the floor with clean water to remove acid, neutralize with ammonia, rinse, allow to dry, and vacuum before painting.

3. Wood: Clean surfaces of dirt, oil, and other foreign substances with scrapers, mineral spirits, and sandpaper, as required. Sand surfaces exposed to view smooth and dust off.

a. Scrape and clean small, dry, seasoned knots, and apply a thin coat of white shellac or other recommended knot sealer before applying primer. After priming, fill holes and imperfections in finish surfaces with putty or plastic wood filler. Sand smooth when dried.

b. Prime, stain, or seal wood to be painted immediately on delivery. Prime edges, ends, faces, undersides, and back sides of wood, including cabinets, counters, cases, and paneling.


c. If transparent finish is required, backprime with spar varnish. d. Backprime paneling on interior partitions where masonry, plaster, or other

wet wall construction occurs on back side. e. Seal tops, bottoms, and cutouts of unprimed wood doors with a heavy coat

of varnish or sealer immediately on delivery.

4. Ferrous Metals: Clean ungalvanized ferrous�metal surfaces that have not been shop coated; remove oil, grease, dirt, loose mill scale, and other foreign substances. Use solvent or mechanical cleaning methods that comply with SSPC's recommendations.

a. Blast steel surfaces clean as recommended by paint system manufacturer and according to SSPC�SP 10/NACE No. 2.

b. Treat bare and sandblasted or pickled clean metal with a metal treatment wash coat before priming.

c. Touch up bare areas and shop�applied prime coats that have been damaged. Wire�brush, clean with solvents recommended by paint manufacturer, and touch up with same primer as the shop coat.

5. Galvanized Surfaces: Clean galvanized surfaces with nonpetroleum�based solvents so surface is free of oil and surface contaminants. Remove pretreatment from galvanized sheet metal fabricated from coil stock by mechanical methods.

D. Material Preparation: Mix and prepare paint materials according to manufacturer's written instructions.

1. Maintain containers used in mixing and applying paint in a clean condition, free of foreign materials and residue.

B. Scheduling Painting: Apply first coat to surfaces that have been cleaned, pretreated, or otherwise prepared for painting as soon as practicable after preparation and before subsequent surface deterioration.

1. The number of coats and film thickness required are the same regardless of application method. Do not apply succeeding coats until previous coat has cured as recommended by manufacturer. If sanding is required to produce a smooth, even surface according to manufacturer's written instructions, sand between applications.

2. Omit primer over metal surfaces that have been shop primed and touchup painted.

3. If undercoats, stains, or other conditions show through final coat of paint, apply additional coats until paint film is of uniform finish, color, and appearance. Give special attention to ensure that edges, corners, crevices, welds, and exposed fasteners receive a dry film thickness equivalent to that of flat surfaces.

4. Allow sufficient time between successive coats to permit proper drying. Do not recoat surfaces until paint has dried to where it feels firm, and does not deform or feel sticky under moderate thumb pressure, and until application of another coat of paint does not cause undercoat to lift or lose adhesion.

C. Application Procedures: Apply paints and coatings by brush, roller, spray, or other applicators according to manufacturer's written instructions.
