1. Documents

.1 The Contract documents are complementary, and what is called for by anyone shall be binding as if called for by all. The intention of the documents is to include all labour and materials reasonably necessary for the proper execution of the Work. It is not intended, however, that materials or work not covered by or properly inferable from any heading, section or trade in the Specifications shall be supplied unless distinctly so noted on the Drawings and/or Sketches. Descriptions of materials or work in words which so applied having well-known technical or trade meaning shall be held to refer to such recognized standards.

.2 Should the Specifications conflict with the Drawings and/or Sketches, the Specifications shall govern. In the case of discrepancies between Drawings, those of larger scale, or if the scales are the same, those of a later date shall govern. All Drawings and/or Sketches and Specifications shall be interpreted in conformity with the Agreement and those General Conditions of the Contract which shall govern.

2. Detail Drawings and Instructions

.1 The Project Manager shall furnish as necessary for the execution of the Work additional instructions, by means of drawings or otherwise.

When submitting such shop and setting





drawings, the Contractor shall notify the Project Manager in writing of changes made therein from the Project Manager's drawings or specifications.

All models and templates submitted shall conform to the spirit and intent of the Contract documents.

5. The Project Manager's Decisions .1 The Project Manager shall decide on questions arising under the contract documents,

whether as to the performance of the Work or the interpretation of the Specifications and Drawings and/or Sketches, but should the Contractor hold such decisions to be at variances with the Contract documents, or to involve changes in work already built, fixed, ordered or in hand, to be in excess of the contract or to be given in error, he/she shall notify the Project Manager in writing before proceeding to carry them out.

6. Foreman, Supervision

.1 The Contractor shall keep on the Work, during its progress, a competent foreman and any necessary assistants, all satisfactory to the Project Manager. The foreman shall not be changed except with the consent of the Project Manager, unless the foreman proves to be unsatisfactory to the Contractor and ceases to be in his/her employ. The foreman shall represent the Contractor in his/her absence and directions on minor matters given to him shall be held to be given to the Contractor. Important directions shall be given in writing





to the Contractor. The Contractor shall give efficient supervision to the Work, using his/her best skill and attention.

.2 If the Specifications, the Project Manager's instructions, laws, ordinances or any public authorities require any work to be specially tested or approved, the Contractor shall give the Project Manager timely notice of its readiness for inspection, and if the inspection is by an authority other than the Project Manager, of the date and time fixed for such inspection. Inspections by the Project Manager shall be promptly made. If any work should be covered up without approval or consent of the Project Manager, it must, if required by the Project Manager, be uncovered for examination, and made good at the Contractor's expense.

.3 Re-examination of questioned work may be ordered by the Project Manager. If such works are found in accordance with the Contract, the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority shall pay the cost of re-examination and replacement. If such works are found not in accordance with the Contract, through the fault of the Contractor, the Contractor shall pay such cost.

9. Correction Before Final Payment

.1 The Contractor shall promptly remove from the premises all material condemned by the Project Manager as failing to conform to the Contract whether incorporated in the Work or not, and the Contractor shall promptly replace and re-execute his/her own work in accordance with the Contract and without expense to the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority and shall bear the expense of making good all work of other contractors destroyed or damaged by such removal or replacement.

.2 If the Contractor does not remove such condemned materials or work within the time fixed by written notice, the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority may remove and may store such materials at the expense of the Contractor. If the Contractor does not pay the expense of such removal within five days thereafter, the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority may, upon ten (10) days' written notice, sell such materials at auction or at





private sale and shall account for the net proceeds thereof, after deducting all costs and expenses incurred in the removal, storage and sale of the material and any other costs and expenses that should have been borne by the Contractor.

10. Deductions for Uncorrected Work

11. Guarantee Warranty

.1 Warranty coverage shall be provided by a guarantee warranty on all materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of completion.

.2 The Contractor shall in addition to any specific warranty or guarantee called for, warrant and guarantee, for a period of one (1) year from the date of completion, all work performed and called for on the Drawings and/or Sketches and the Specifications, including any additional work approved and accepted as an extra to the Contract. The Contractor shall at his/her own expense, rectify any defects latent or patent that arise, as a result of poor, or improper, workmanship or defective materials, fixtures or apparatus during this one (1) year period. Performance of the Contractor over the one (1) year period shall be guaranteed, by the retention by the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority of one percent (1%) of the contract price, or $2,500 (two thousand, five hundred Canadian dollars), whichever amount is the greater. Neither the final certificate nor payment thereunder, nor any provisions in the Contract shall relieve the Contractor from the responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship which shall appear during this one (1) year period.

.3 Cracks in plaster, drywall, masonry, stucco, and concrete which occur during the warranty period will be considered defects in workmanship and materials, and shall be rectified at the Contractor's expense including the expense of repainting necessary to complete the finished product. Where touch-up painting does not match existing paint, the entire surface shall be repainted.

.4 Neither the final certificate, nor payment under this contract, nor any provisions in the contract shall relieve the Contractor from responsibility for latent defects in materials or workmanship which appear after this one (1) year warranty period.

.5 In the event that the Contractor places in use certain apparatus, machinery or electrical equipment, prior to the completion date, it shall remain the Contractor's responsibility to maintain the guarantee period as stated above, regardless of the possibility that the manufacturers' guarantee may have expired previously.





.6 Notwithstanding the provisions of this article, if any statute in force in the Province of Nova Scotia creates a more extended liability for faulty materials or workmanship, the provisions of such statutes shall apply.

.7 For the purposes of this article, completion of the project shall be the latter of either the date of project handover, or the date of the certificate of substantial completion.

12. Protection of Work and Property

.1 The Contractor shall maintain continuously adequate protection of all his/her work from damage and shall protect the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority's property from all injury arising in connection with this Contract. He/She shall make good any such damage or injury, except such as may be directly due to errors in the Contract documents. He/She shall adequately protect adjacent property as required by law and the Contract documents.

13. Emergencies

.1 The Project Manager has authority to stop the progress of the Work whenever, in his/her opinion, such stoppage may be necessary to ensure its proper execution.

14. Contractor's Liability Insurance

.1 The Contractor shall maintain such insurance or pay such assessments as will protect him and the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority from claims under Workers’ Compensation Acts. In addition, the Contractor shall maintain insurance to protect him and the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority from any other claims for bodily injury or property damage.

days prior notice by registered mail to the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority.

20. Fire Insurance

.1 The Contractor shall maintain and pay for fire insurance in the joint names of the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority and the Contractor totalling not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Award Amount, so that any loss under such policies of insurance will be payable to the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority and the Contractor as their respective interests appear, and he/she shall furnish a copy of such policy to the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority. Should a fire loss be sustained, the Contractor shall act on behalf of the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority and himself for the purpose of adjusting the amount of such loss with the insurance companies. As soon as such adjustment has been satisfactorily completed, the Contractor shall proceed to repair the damage and complete the Work and shall be entitled to receive from the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority in addition to the total Contract price, the amount at which the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority's interest has been appraised in the adjustment made with the insurance companies as referred to above, said amount to be paid to the Contractor as the work of restoration proceeds. Any loss or damage by fire which may occur shall not affect the rights and obligations of either party under the Contract documents except that in such event the Contractor shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of time for the performance of the Work. Upon completion of the Work or on occupancy by the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority, whichever shall first occur, the Contractor's obligation (if any) to maintain the fire insurance shall cease, and the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority shall assume full responsibility for insuring the whole of the Work against loss or damage by fire. The date of such transfer of responsibility shall be the date on which the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority is notified of the issue by the Project Manager of this Final Certificate, or the date the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority occupies the premises, as the case may be.

21. Contract Security

.1 The successful Contactor must submit a Performance Bond and a Labour and Material Bond, each in the amount of fifty percent (50%) of the Contract, such Performance Bond and Labour and Material Bond are to be delivered to the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority prior to signing of the Contract and shall be on the form enclosed as part of these documents, or to like effect.

.2 Where the contract amount is less than $1,000,000 (one million Canadian dollars), the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority will accept a certified cheque, bank draft, or Government of Canada Bearer Bonds, in an amount of ten percent (10%) of the Contract price.

.3 If the successful Bidder elects to provide security other than the Performance, Labour and Material Bonds and has provided security in the form of Government of Canada Bearer Bonds, certified cheque, or bank draft, then said security must be fully paid for, assigned to the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority and deposited with the Metropolitan

If claims are not settled by the Contractor or successors within a reasonable time, the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority may pay for labour, services and materials claimed, whether supported by liens or not, from any date to any date and to any amount which may be claimed, or the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority may make application to the courts, to pay any amounts held for such claims into court for the court to determine who should be paid and in what amount. Any monies so paid by the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority shall





be deducted from any monies that may be due, or that thereafter may become due, to the Contractor or successor.

.5 Before final settlement is made for work executed and materials furnished under the Contract, the Contractor shall furnish evidence, satisfactory to the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority, that the work and all its parts are free and clear from lawful claims or liens under any law, for labour, services, materials and otherwise.

ASBESTOS DISCLOSURE MATERIALS LETTER: JANUARY 2014

January 2014 To Whom It May Concern,

This is to advise that certain building materials used in the construction of apartment buildings,

office buildings and homes between the years 1946-1986 may contain asbestos fibres. Asbestos

may typically be found in drywall filler, texture coats (stucco), floor tiles, tile adhesive, gaskets,

hard board, plaster, ceiling tiles, caulking and seamless flooring. Asbestos can be a hazard if

the fibres in the building material are released or separated from the material or become air

borne. In order for asbestos fibres to be released from this material, it must be sanded or

crumbled into small pieces.

Asbestos is not otherwise poisonous, and it does not off-gas any toxic chemicals. Under normal

conditions of day-to-day usage, these materials do not pose a risk to occupants, as they are not

releasing dust.

As many of the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority (MRHA) buildings were constructed prior

to 1986, we are advising that asbestos may be present in the building materials. When properly

managed these materials are not a cause for concern.

Typically, if asbestos is found in MRHA buildings it is in the drywall filler (the material used to cover

the seams where two (2) pieces of gyproc meet or the corners of a room or where the ceiling and

walls meet), stucco or plaster. Gyproc itself does not contain asbestos.

The following responsibilities fall upon any contractor whose work may results in the disturbance

of any asbestos-containing or contaminated materials or surfaces:

1. Before commencing work, ensure all contractors employees and supervisory staff have

been informed as to the presence and approximate location of all asbestos-containing

materials that may become subject to disturbance (whether intentional or not);

2. Only workers trained and authorized in Type 1, 2, or 3 asbestos work procedures are

assigned to work involving exposure to material containing asbestos;

3. File with the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority a signed and executed copy of a

Contractor's Notification & Acknowledgement form as provided at the end of this document;

4. Perform work in such a manner as to avoid the disturbance of any asbestos-containing or

contaminated surfaces or materials other than those materials intentionally contracted to

remove, repair, encapsulate or enclose;

5. Upon discovery of any unidentified asbestos-containing or suspect asbestos-containing

materials, secure the area, suspend all activities that may disturb such materials and do

not proceed with work in the area until it has been determined if the material in question

contains asbestos and written authorization to proceed is obtained from the Metropolitan

Regional Housing Authority;

6. Prior to proceeding with any asbestos disturbance for Type 2 and Type 3 work (i.e. removal,

clean-up or repair) ensure a signed and duly executed Asbestos Work Permit is obtained

from the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority;

7. Ensure all work that may disturb any asbestos-containing or contaminated surfaces is

completed in accordance with current regulatory requirements; and,

8. As required, provide the Metropolitan Regional Housing Authority with a copy of all

executed Asbestos Waste Transportation Manifests, verifying the safe and proper disposal

of asbestos waste generated.
