§ A.2.3 Required Property Insurance § A.2.3.1 Unless this obligation is placed on the Contractor pursuant to Section A.3.3.2.1, the Owner shall purchase

and maintain, from an insurance company or insurance companies lawfully authorized to issue insurance in the

jurisdiction where the Project is located, property insurance written on a builder's risk “all-risks” completed value or

equivalent policy form and sufficient to cover the total value of the entire Project on a replacement cost basis. The

Owner’s property insurance coverage shall be no less than the amount of the initial Contract Sum, plus the value of

subsequent Modifications and labor performed and materials or equipment supplied by others. The property

insurance shall be maintained until Substantial Completion and thereafter as provided in Section A.2.3.1.3, unless

otherwise provided in the Contract Documents or otherwise agreed in writing by the parties to this Agreement. This

insurance shall include the interests of the Owner, Contractor, Subcontractors, and Sub-subcontractors in the Project

as insureds. This insurance shall include the interests of mortgagees as loss payees.

§ A.2.3.1.3 Unless the parties agree otherwise, upon Substantial Completion, the Owner shall continue the insurance

required by Section A.2.3.1 or, if necessary, replace the insurance policy required under Section A.2.3.1 with

property insurance written for the total value of the Project that shall remain in effect until expiration of the period

for correction of the Work set forth in Section 12.2.2 of the General Conditions.

§ A.2.3.1.4 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. If the insurance required by this Section A.2.3 is subject to

deductibles or self-insured retentions, the Owner shall be responsible for all loss not covered because of such

deductibles or retentions.

§ A.2.3.2 Insurance for Existing Structures If the Work involves remodeling an existing structure or constructing an addition to an existing structure, the Owner

shall purchase and maintain, until the expiration of the period for correction of Work as set forth in Section 12.2.2 of

the General Conditions, “all-risks” property insurance, on a replacement cost basis, protecting the existing structure

against direct physical loss or damage from the causes of loss identified in Section A.2.3.1, notwithstanding the

undertaking of the Work. The Owner shall be responsible for all co-insurance penalties.

§ A.2.4 Within three (3) business days of the date the Owner becomes aware of an impending or actual cancellation

or expiration of any insurance required by this Section A.2, the Owner shall provide notice to the Contractor of such

impending or actual cancellation or expiration. Unless the lapse in coverage arises from an act or omission of the

Contractor: (1) the Contractor, upon receipt of notice from the Owner, shall have the right to stop the Work until the

lapse in coverage has been cured by the procurement of replacement coverage by either the Owner or the

Contractor; (2) the Contract Time and Contract Sum shall be equitably adjusted; and (3) the Owner waives all rights

against the Contractor, Subcontractors, and Sub-subcontractors to the extent any loss to the Owner would have been

covered by the insurance had it not expired or been cancelled. If the Contractor purchases replacement coverage, the

cost of the insurance shall be charged to the Owner by an appropriate Change Order. The furnishing of notice by the

Owner shall not relieve the Owner of any contractual obligation to provide required insurance.

ARTICLE A.3 CONTRACTOR’S INSURANCE AND BONDS § A.3.1 General § A.3.1.1 Certificates of Insurance. The Contractor shall provide certificates of insurance acceptable to the Owner

evidencing compliance with the requirements in this Article A.3 at the following times: (1) prior to commencement

of the Work; (2) upon renewal or replacement of each required policy of insurance; and (3) upon the Owner’s

written request. An additional certificate evidencing continuation of commercial liability coverage, including

coverage for completed operations, shall be submitted with the final Application for Payment and thereafter upon

renewal or replacement of such coverage until the expiration of the periods required by Section A.3.2.1 and Section

A.3.3.1. The certificates will show the Owner as an additional insured on the Contractor’s Commercial General

Liability and excess or umbrella liability policy or policies.

§ A.3.1.2 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. The Contractor shall disclose to the Owner any deductible or self-

insured retentions applicable to any insurance required to be provided by the Contractor.

ARTICLE 7 GENERAL PROVISIONS § 7.1 The Contract Documents The Contract Documents are enumerated in Article 6 and consist of this Agreement (including, if applicable,

Supplementary and other Conditions of the Contract), Drawings, Specifications, Addenda issued prior to the

execution of this Agreement, other documents listed in this Agreement, and Modifications issued after execution of

this Agreement. A Modification is (1) a written amendment to the Contract signed by both parties, (2) a Change

Order, (3) a Construction Change Directive, or (4) a written order for a minor change in the Work issued by the

Architect. The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items necessary for the proper execution and

completion of the Work by the Contractor. The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is required by

one shall be as binding as if required by all; performance by the Contractor shall be required to the extent consistent

with the Contract Documents and reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce the indicated

results.

§ 7.2 The Contract The Contract Documents form the Contract for Construction. The Contract represents the entire and integrated

agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes prior negotiations, representations, or agreements, either

written or oral. The Contract may be amended or modified only by a Modification. The Contract Documents shall

not be construed to create a contractual relationship of any kind between any persons or entities other than the

Owner and the Contractor.

§ 7.3 The Work The term “Work” means the construction and services required by the Contract Documents, whether completed or

partially completed, and includes all other labor, materials, equipment, and services provided or to be provided by

the Contractor to fulfill the Contractor’s obligations. The Work may constitute the whole or a part of the Project.

§ 7.4 Instruments of Service Instruments of Service are representations, in any medium of expression now known or later developed, of the

tangible and intangible creative work performed by the Architect and the Architect’s consultants under their

respective professional services agreements. Instruments of Service may include, without limitation, studies,

surveys, models, sketches, drawings, specifications, and other similar materials.

§ 7.5 Ownership and use of Drawings, Specifications and Other Instruments of Service § 7.5.1 The Architect and the Architect’s consultants shall be deemed the authors and owners of their respective

Instruments of Service, including the Drawings and Specifications, and will retain all common law, statutory and

other reserved rights in their Instruments of Service, including copyrights. The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-

subcontractors, and suppliers shall not own or claim a copyright in the Instruments of Service. Submittal or

distribution to meet official regulatory requirements or for other purposes in connection with the Project is not to be

construed as publication in derogation of the Architect’s or Architect’s consultants’ reserved rights.

§ 7.5.2 The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors and suppliers are authorized to use and reproduce the

Instruments of Service provided to them, subject to the protocols established pursuant to Sections 7.6 and 7.7, solely

and exclusively for execution of the Work. All copies made under this authorization shall bear the copyright notice,







8

if any, shown on the Instruments of Service. The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, and suppliers may

not use the Instruments of Service on other projects or for additions to this Project outside the scope of the Work

without the specific written consent of the Owner, Architect and the Architect’s consultants.

§ 7.6 Digital Data Use and Transmission The parties shall agree upon protocols governing the transmission and use of Instruments of Service or any other

information or documentation in digital form. The parties will use AIA Document E203™–2013, Building

Information Modeling and Digital Data Exhibit, to establish the protocols for the development, use, transmission,

and exchange of digital data.

§ 7.7 Building Information Models Use and Reliance Any use of, or reliance on, all or a portion of a building information model without agreement to protocols

governing the use of, and reliance on, the information contained in the model and without having those protocols set

forth in AIA Document E203™–2013, Building Information Modeling and Digital Data Exhibit, and the requisite

AIA Document G202™–2013, Project Building Information Modeling Protocol Form, shall be at the using or

relying party’s sole risk and without liability to the other party and its contractors or consultants, the authors of, or

contributors to, the building information model, and each of their agents and employees.

§ 7.8 Severability The invalidity of any provision of the Contract Documents shall not invalidate the Contract or its remaining

provisions. If it is determined that any provision of the Contract Documents violates any law, or is otherwise invalid

or unenforceable, then that provision shall be revised to the extent necessary to make that provision legal and

enforceable. In such case the Contract Documents shall be construed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to give

effect to the parties' intentions and purposes in executing the Contract.

§ 7.9 Notice § 7.9.1 Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.9.2, where the Contract Documents require one party to notify or

give notice to the other party, such notice shall be provided in writing to the designated representative of the party to

whom the notice is addressed and shall be deemed to have been duly served if delivered in person, by mail, by

courier, or by electronic transmission in accordance with AIA Document E203™–2013, Building Information

Modeling and Digital Data Exhibit, if completed, or as otherwise set forth below:

(If other than in accordance with AIA Document E203–2013, insert requirements for delivering Notice in electronic

format such as name, title and email address of the recipient and whether and how the system will be required to

generate a read receipt for the transmission.)

« »

§ 7.9.2 Notice of Claims shall be provided in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly served only if delivered

to the designated representative of the party to whom the notice is addressed by certified or registered mail, by

courier providing proof of delivery, or by electronic transmission with proof of delivery.

§ 7.10 Relationship of the Parties Where the Contract is based on the Cost of the Work plus the Contractor’s Fee, with or without a Guaranteed

Maximum Price, the Contractor accepts the relationship of trust and confidence established by this Agreement and

covenants with the Owner to cooperate with the Architect and exercise the Contractor’s skill and judgment in

furthering the interests of the Owner; to furnish efficient business administration and supervision; to furnish at all

times an adequate supply of workers and materials; and to perform the Work in an expeditious and economical

manner consistent with the Owner’s interests. The Owner agrees to furnish and approve, in a timely manner,

information required by the Contractor and to make payments to the Contractor in accordance with the requirements

of the Contract Documents.

ARTICLE 8 OWNER § 8.1 Information and Services Required of the Owner § 8.1.1 Prior to commencement of the Work, at the written request by the Contractor, the Owner shall furnish to the

Contractor reasonable evidence that the Owner has made financial arrangements to fulfill the Owner’s obligations

under the Contract. The Contractor shall have no obligation to commence the Work until the Owner provides such







9

evidence. If commencement of the Work is delayed under this Section 8.1.1, the Contract Time shall be extended

appropriately.

§ 8.1.2

The Owner shall furnish surveys describing utilities locations and other information as to the physical characteristics

of, and legal limitations of the Project site. Contractor shall confirm the accuracy of all such information furnished

by Owner before beginning construction and shall notify Architect of any discrepancies discovered. Failure to do so

shall constitute a waiver of any claim for any discrepancies in the materials furnished by Owner. Contractor shall

excavate and dispose of each un-needed on-site utility and shall cap each off-site utility as required by the Work and

as may be included in the Specifications. At Owner’s request, the Contractor shall make available to the Owner the

results of any site investigation, test borings, analyses, studies or other tests conducted by or in possession of the

Contractor or any of its agents. Such materials shall be for Owner’s information only and are not part of the

Contract. The Contractor represents that, prior to commencement of the Work, it will become familiar with the

Project site and will not begin Work until it has received all information it needs concerning the conditions of the

Project site. The Contractor represents that it has inspected the location of the Work. The Contractor shall exercise

special care in executing subsurface Work in proximity of known subsurface utilities, improvements and easements.

§ 8.1.3 The General Contractor will be furnished, free of charge, ten (10) copies of the Drawings and Specifications.

Additional Plans and Specifications requested beyond the above limits will be mailed to the Contractors at the cost

of reproduction, handling and mailing. Owner warrants Architect’s design, plans or specifications only to the extent

that the design plans and specifications were prepared utilizing the ordinary standard of care required of design

professionals in the Davie County area for Projects of this type.

§ 8.1.4 Except for permits and fees that are the responsibility of the Contractor under the Contract Documents,

including those required under Section 9.6.1, the Owner shall secure and pay for other necessary approvals,

easements, assessments, and charges required for the construction, use, or occupancy of permanent structures or for

permanent changes in existing facilities.

§ 8.2 Owner’s Right to Stop the Work If the Contractor fails to correct Work which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents,

or fails to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Owner may issue a written order to

the Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order is eliminated; however, the

right of the Owner to stop the Work shall not give rise to a duty on the part of the Owner to exercise this right for the

benefit of the Contractor or any other person or entity. This right shall be in addition to and not in restriction of

Owner’s rights under Article 20. Such order of stoppage by the Owner shall not constitute grounds for delay, claim

or Contract termination by the Contractor.

§ 8.3 Owner’s Right to Carry Out the Work If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, and fails

within a ten-day period after receipt of notice from the Owner to commence and continue correction of such default

or neglect or to provide adequate manpower, material or resources, with diligence and promptness, the Owner may,

without prejudice to any other remedies the Owner may have, correct such default or neglect. Owner may perform

such Work in a manner it deems expedient and shall not be required to utilize the least expensive alternative. the

Owner may, pursuant to Section 15.4.3, withhold or nullify a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part, to the

extent reasonably necessary to reimburse the Owner for the reasonable cost of correcting such deficiencies,

including the Owner’s expenses and compensation for the Architect’s additional services made necessary by such

default, neglect, or failure. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Contract, the Owner may withhold payments

then or thereafter due until the cost of correction is determined. If payments then or thereafter due the Contractor

are not sufficient to cover such amounts, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.

If the Contractor disagrees with the actions of the Owner or the Architect, or the amounts claimed as costs to the

Owner, the Contractor may file a Claim pursuant to Article 21.

ARTICLE 9 CONTRACTOR § 9.1 Review of Contract Documents and Field Conditions by Contractor § 9.1.1 Execution of the Contract by the Contractor is a representation (1) that the Contractor has visited the site,

become generally familiar with local conditions under which the Work is to be performed and correlated personal

observations with requirements of the Contract Documents and (2) that the Contractor and each subcontractor has







10

evaluated and satisfied themselves as to the conditions and limitations under which the Work is to be performed,

including, without limitation, (i) the location, condition, layout, and nature of the Project site and surrounding areas,

(ii) generally prevailing climatic conditions, (iii) anticipated labor supply and costs, (iv) availability and cost of

materials, tools, and equipment, and (v) other similar issues. The Owner assumes no responsibility or liability for

the physical condition or safety of the Project site or any improvements located on the Project site. The Contractor

shall be solely responsible for providing a safe place for the performance of his Work. The Owner shall not be

required to make any adjustment in either the Contract Sum or the Contract Time in connection with any failure by

any Contractor or any Subcontractor to have complied with the requirements of this Section.

.

§ 9.1.2 Because the Contract Documents are complementary, the Contractor shall, before starting each portion of the

Work, carefully study and compare the various Contract Documents relative to that portion of the Work, as well as

the information furnished by the Owner pursuant to Section 8.1.2, shall take field measurements of any existing

conditions related to that portion of the Work and shall observe any conditions at the site affecting it. These

obligations are for the purpose of facilitating coordination and construction by the Contractor and are not for the

purpose of discovering errors, omissions, or inconsistencies in the Contract Documents; however, the Contractor

shall promptly report to the Owner and Architect any errors, inconsistencies, or omissions discovered by or made

known to the Contractor in such form as the Owner or Architect may require. It is recognized that the Contractor’s

review is made in the Contractor’s capacity as a contractor and not as a licensed design professional unless

otherwise specifically provided in the Contract Documents.

§ 9.1.3 The Contractor is not required to ascertain that the Contract Documents are in accordance with applicable

laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, or lawful orders of public authorities, but the Contractor

shall promptly report to the Owner and Architect any nonconformity discovered by or made known to the Contractor

in such form as the Owner or Architect may require.

§ 9.1.4 The Owner makes no representation or warranty as to the exactness of grades, elevations, dimensions or

locations given on any Drawings or the work installed by other contractors. The Contractor shall, therefore,

promptly satisfy itself as to the accuracy of all grades, elevations, dimensions and locations before commencing

Work.

§ 9.1.5 The Contractor shall assume full responsibility for accuracy of measurements obtained at the site and shall

coordinate Work with actual field measurements. The Contractor shall submit field engineering drawings, prepared

and sealed by a licensed surveyor, of proposed installation based on site layout survey and field conditions at the

time of construction and shall note any discrepancies between existing conditions and the Contract Documents or

surveys.

§ 9.1.6 Should the Specifications fail to particularly describe the material or kind of goods to be used in any place, it

shall be the duty of the Contractor to make inquiry of the Architect for what is best suited. Material reasonably

considered to be consistent with a project of this type shall be considered a part of the contract. To the extent that

Contractor believes that the Architect’s decision entitles Contractor to a change order, Contractor shall submit a

change order request as provided elsewhere herein.

§ 9.2 Supervision and Construction Procedures § 9.2.1 The Contractor shall supervise and direct the Work, using the Contractor’s best skill and attention. The

Contractor shall be solely responsible for and have control over construction means, methods, techniques,

sequences, and procedures, and for coordinating all portions of the Work under the Contract, unless the Contract

Documents give other specific instructions concerning these matters. If the Contract Documents give specific

instructions concerning construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, the Contractor shall

evaluate the jobsite safety thereof and, except as stated below, shall be fully and solely responsible for the jobsite

safety of such means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. If the Contractor determines that such means,

methods, techniques, sequences or procedures may not be safe, the Contractor shall give timely written notice to the

Owner and Architect and shall not proceed with that portion of the Work without further written instructions from

the Architect.







11

§ 9.2.2 The Contractor shall be responsible to the Owner for acts and omissions of the Contractor’s employees,

Subcontractors and their agents and employees, and other persons or entities performing portions of the Work for or

on behalf of the Contractor or any of its Subcontractors.

§ 9.2.3 The Contractor shall be responsible for inspection of portions of Work already performed to determine that

such portions are in proper condition to receive subsequent Work.

§ 9.2.4 If any of the Work is required to be inspected or approved by any public authority (other than the Owner), the

Contractor shall schedule and coordinate such inspection or approval to be performed. Owner shall not be

responsible for any cost or delay resulting from delays in completing inspections or obtaining approvals from any

public authority (other than the Owner). No inspection performed or failed to be performed by the Owner hereunder

shall be a waiver of any of the Contractor’s obligations hereunder to be construed as an approval or acceptance of

the Work or any part thereof.

§ 9.2.5 The Contractor is required to attend job site progress conferences as called by the General Contractor,

Architect and/or Program Manager (if applicable). The Contractor shall be represented at these job progress

conferences by both home office and project personnel. The representatives attending the meetings shall have

authority to act on behalf of and bind the party they represent. These meetings shall be open to subcontractors,

materials suppliers, and any others who can contribute toward maintaining required job progress. It shall be the

principal purpose of these meetings, or conferences to effect cooperation, and assistance in every practical way

toward the end of maintaining progress of the Project on schedule and to complete the Project within the Contract

Time. The Contractor shall be prepared to assess progress of the Work to recommend remedial measures for

correction of progress as may be appropriate. The General Contractor and/or Architect or their authorized

representative may set the time and place for the conferences, and the General Contractor as Project Coordinator

shall preside as chairman. Contractor shall notify Architect and the Owner in writing within ten (10) days of the

publishing of the meeting minutes of any exception taken thereto, and shall include a detailed statement of the basis

for such exception.

§ 9.3 Labor and Materials § 9.3.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall provide and pay for labor,

materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery, water, heat, utilities, transportation, and other

facilities and services necessary for proper execution and completion of the Work whether temporary or permanent

and whether or not incorporated or to be incorporated in the Work.

§ 9.3.2 The Contractor shall enforce strict discipline and good order among the Contractor’s employees and other

persons carrying out the Work. The Contractor shall not permit employment of unfit persons or persons not skilled

in tasks assigned to them.

§ 9.3.3 The Contractor may make a substitution only with the consent of the Owner, after evaluation by the Architect

and in accordance with a Modification.

§ 9.3.4 The Contractor has the responsibility to ensure that all product suppliers and Subcontractors adhere to the

Contract Documents and that they order products on time, taking into account the current market and delivery

conditions, and that they provide products on time. The Contractor shall keep the Owner, Architect and the Program

Manager informed as to the availability of all specified materials and equipment and shall advise them promptly, in

writing, of all material and equipment that may no longer be obtainable, or the availability of which may be delayed,

for the purposes of the Contract, whether due to conditions of the market or other limiting or governing factors.

§ 9.3.5 The Contractor shall disclose the existence and extent of any financial interests, whether direct or indirect, he

has in Subcontractors and material suppliers which he may propose for this Project.







12

free from defects. Work, materials, or equipment not conforming to these requirements, including substitutions not

properly approved and authorized, shall be considered defective.

§ 9.4.2 The Contractor agrees to provide to the Owner following substantial completion but no later than thirty (30)

days after the date of substantial completion, their written warranty in a form satisfactory to the Owner and any and

all manufacturer’s warranties relating to the Work which shall commence as of the date of Substantial Completion

of the entire work and the Contractor further agrees to perform the Work in such manner so as to preserve any and

all such manufacturer’s warranties.

§ 9.4.3 If the Contractor uses any portion of the Work or Owner’s other property prior to the date of Substantial

Completion of the entire Work, such Work shall be restored to new or “like new” condition. Contractor’s warranty

and agreement to correct defective Work shall specifically include Contractor’s obligations under this paragraph.

§ 9.4.4 The warranties and guarantees called for in the specifications shall be for twelve (12) months unless a

longer period is called for in the Contract Drawings or Specifications. Such written warranties or guarantees shall

be signed by the manufacturer or subcontractor, as the case may be, and countersigned by the Contractor. The

Contractor agrees to provide four (4) original copies of all warranties and four (4) Pdf copies of all warranties. All

guarantees shall be addressed to the Owner.

§ 9.4.6 If the Contractor, after notice, fails within 48 hours to develop and transmit a proposed Plan of Remedial

Action to the Architect and Owner for correction of warranty items, and/or fails to proceed within three (3) days to

commence corrective measures of warranty items in compliance with the terms of the warranty/guarantee; the

Owner may have the defects corrected and the Contractor and his surety shall be liable for all expense incurred.

§ 9.4.7 The Contractor’s warranty excludes remedy for damage or defect caused by abuse, alterations to the Work

not executed by the Contractor, its subcontractors, or those contractors assigned to or for which the Contractor is

considered the Project Expediter or is otherwise responsible for coordination of the Work, improper or insufficient

maintenance and or operation whereby the Contractor can provide evidence sufficient to the reasonable satisfaction

of the Owner of proper training of Owner’s personnel, or normal wear and tear.

§ 9.5 Taxes The Contractor shall pay sales, consumer, use, and other similar taxes that are legally enacted when bids are

received or negotiations concluded, whether or not yet effective or merely scheduled to go into effect.

§ 9.6 Permits, Fees, Notices, and Compliance with Laws § 9.6.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall secure and pay for the building

permit as well as other permits, fees, licenses, and inspections by government agencies necessary for proper

execution and completion of the Work that are customarily secured after execution of the Contract and legally

required at the time bids are received or negotiations concluded.

§ 9.6.2 The Contractor shall comply with and give notices required by applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes,

rules and regulations, and lawful orders of public authorities applicable to performance of the Work. If the

Contractor performs Work knowing it to be contrary to applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and

regulations, or lawful orders of public authorities, the Contractor shall assume appropriate responsibility for such

Work and shall bear the costs attributable to correction. Contractor shall indemnify and hold the Owner harmless

against any and all fines, penalties, judgments or damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, imposed on or

incurred by the Owner as a result of such failure by the Contractor.

§ 9.6.3 Without assuming or performing the Architect’s design responsibility, it shall be the obligation of the

Contractor to review the Contract Documents for any discrepancy between building codes and regulations and to

notify Owners of such discrepancies which the Contractor discovers. If the Contractor observes that portions of the

Contract Documents are at variance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, rules or regulations,

the Contractor promptly shall notify the Owner and Architect in writing, and necessary changes shall be

accomplished by appropriate modification.

other expenses contemplated for stated allowance amounts shall be included in the Contract Sum but

not in the allowances; and

.3 whenever costs are more than or less than allowances, the Contract Sum shall be adjusted accordingly

by Change Order. The amount of the Change Order shall reflect (1) the difference between actual

costs and the allowances under Section 3.8.2.1 and (2) changes in Contractor’s costs under Section

3.8.2.2.

§ 9.8 Contractor’s Construction Schedules § 9.8.1 The Contractor, promptly after being awarded the Contract, shall submit for the Owner’s and Architect’s

information a Contractor’s construction schedule for the Work. The schedule shall not exceed time limits current

under the Contract Documents, shall be revised at appropriate intervals as required by the conditions of the Work

and Project, shall be related to the entire Project to the extent required by the Contract Documents, and shall provide

for expeditious and practicable execution of the Work.

§ 9.8.2 The Contractor shall prepare a submittal schedule, promptly after being awarded the Contract and thereafter

as necessary to maintain a current submittal schedule, and shall submit the schedule(s) for the Architect’s approval.

The Architect’s approval shall not unreasonably be delayed or withheld. The submittal schedule shall (1) be

coordinated with the Contractor’s construction schedule, and (2) allow the Architect reasonable time to review







14

in Contract Sum or extension of Contract Time resulting from such failure based on the time required for review of

submittals.

§ 9.8.3 The Contractor shall perform the Work in general accordance with the most recent schedule submitted to the

Owner and Architect.

§ 9.8.4 INCLUSION OF WEATHER DAYS IN SCHEDULE The Contractor shall include in the Contractor’s Construction Schedule weather days based upon local Weather data

5 year average Weather days shall be understood to be work days, exclusive of holidays, Sundays and other non-

working days. The Contractor shall use these monthly averages when establishing the construction schedule for this

Project. Claims for weather delays will not be considered until the number of days for the relevant period actually

delayed exceeds the five year average for the period for which a time extension is being requested.

Weather days are to be included to aid the Contractor in its scheduling. Unused weather days are not available for

extending the Contract Time or for decreasing the Project time.

§ 9.9 Submittals § 9.9.1 The Contractor shall review for compliance with the Contract Documents and submit to the Architect Shop

Drawings, Product Data, Samples, and similar submittals required by the Contract Documents in coordination with

the Contractor’s construction schedule and in such sequence as to cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of

the Owner or of separate contractors and to allow the Architect reasonable time for review. By submitting Shop

Drawings, Product Data, Samples, and similar submittals, the Contractor represents to the Owner and Architect that

the Contractor has (1) reviewed and approved them; (2) determined and verified materials, field measurements, and

field construction criteria related thereto, or will do so; and (3) checked and coordinated the information contained

within such submittals with the requirements of the Work and of the Contract Documents. The Work shall be in

accordance with approved submittals.

§ 9.9.2 The Architect will review and approve, or take other appropriate action upon, the Contractor’s Shop

Drawings, Product Data, Samples, and similar submittals. Contractor shall perform no portion of the Work for

which the Contract Document require submittal and review of Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar

submittals until the respective submittal has been reviewed and approved by the Architect.

§ 9.9.3 Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals are not Contract Documents.

§ 9.9.4 The Contractor shall not be required to provide professional services that constitute the practice of

architecture or engineering unless such services are specifically required by the Contract Documents or unless the

Contractor needs to provide such services in order to carry out the Contractor's own responsibilities. If professional

design services or certifications by a design professional are specifically required, the Owner and the Architect will

specify the performance and design criteria that such services must satisfy. The Contractor shall cause such services

or certifications to be provided by an appropriately licensed design professional. If no criteria are specified, the

design shall comply with applicable codes and ordinances. Each Party shall be entitled to rely upon the information

provided by the other Party.

§ 9.10 Use of Site § 9.10.1 The Contractor shall confine operations at the site to areas permitted by applicable laws, statutes,

ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, lawful orders of public authorities, and the Contract Documents and shall

not unreasonably encumber the site with materials or equipment.

§ 9.10.2 The Project, as school property, may attract children and unauthorized personnel. Contractor shall take all

necessary precautions to secure the Project and his Work to prevent injury and to discourage the entry onto the

Project of children and unauthorized personnel.

§ 9.10.3 Contractor shall be responsible to avoid fraternization and unnecessary contact with students and school

personnel by the persons and entities on the Project for whom Contractor is responsible. Contractor will maintain

suitable decorum on the site and anyone failing to comply with the requirements of this subparagraph as determined

by Owner shall be subject to immediate dismissal.







15

§ 9.10.4 Contractor shall not use Owner’s facilities and shall plan and schedule its Work so as not to interrupt or

interfere with school operations or activities.

§ 9.11 Cutting and Patching The Contractor shall be responsible for cutting, fitting, or patching required to complete the Work or to make its

parts fit together properly.

§ 9.12 Cleaning Up The Contractor shall keep the premises and surrounding area free from accumulation of waste materials and rubbish

caused by operations under the Contract. At completion of the Work, the Contractor shall remove waste materials,

rubbish, the Contractor’s tools, construction equipment, machinery, and surplus material from and about the Project.

The Contractor shall maintain streets, parking areas and sidewalks around the Project site free from any materials or

debris resulting from operations under this Contract. The Contractor shall remove all spillage and tracking arising

from the performance of the Work from such areas and any other affected areas, and shall establish a regular

maintenance program of sweeping and hosing to minimize accumulation of dirt and dust upon such areas.

§ 9.13 Access to Work The Contractor shall provide the Owner and Architect with access to the Work in preparation and progress wherever

located.

§ 9.14 Royalties, Patents and Copyrights The Contractor shall pay all royalties and license fees. The Contractor shall defend suits or claims for infringement

of copyrights and patent rights and shall hold the Owner and Architect harmless from loss on account thereof, but

shall not be responsible for defense or loss when a particular design, process, or product of a particular manufacturer

or manufacturers is required by the Contract Documents or where the copyright violations are contained in

Drawings, Specifications or other documents prepared by the Owner or Architect. However, if an infringement of a

copyright or patent is discovered by, or made known to, the Contractor, the Contractor shall be responsible for the

loss unless the information is promptly furnished to the Architect.

§ 9.15 Indemnification § 9.15.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Owner,

Architect, Architect’s consultants, and agents and employees of any of them from and against claims, damages,

losses and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, arising out of or resulting from performance of the

Work, provided that such claim, damage, loss, or expense is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death,

or to injury to or destruction of tangible property (other than the Work itself), but only to the extent caused by the

negligent acts or omissions of the Contractor, a Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them, or

anyone for whose acts they may be liable. Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other

rights or obligations of indemnity which would otherwise exist as to a party or person described in this Section

9.15.1.

§ 9.15.2 In claims against any person or entity indemnified under this Section 9.15 by an employee of the Contractor,

a Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them, or anyone for whose acts they may be liable, the

indemnification obligation under Section 9.15.1 shall not be limited by a limitation on amount or type of damages,

compensation or benefits payable by or for the Contractor or Subcontractor under workers’ compensation acts,

disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts.

§ 9.15.3 In the event of accidents involving personal injury or property damage, the Contractor shall immediately

notify the Owner, the Program Manager and the Architect, furnishing as much data as is available. As soon as

practicable, he shall furnish to the Owner, the Program Manager and the Architect a written report indicating the

extent of the damage, the persons involved, the employer of the persons involved and the number of days each

person is hospitalized.







16

ARTICLE 10 ARCHITECT § 10.1 The Architect will provide administration of the Contract as described in the Contract Documents and will be

an Owner’s representative during construction, until the date the Architect issues the final Certificate for Payment.

The Architect will have authority to act on behalf of the Owner only to the extent provided in the Contract

Documents, unless otherwise modified in writing in accordance with other provisions of the Contract.

§ 10.2 Duties, responsibilities, and limitations of authority of the Architect as set forth in the Contract Documents

shall not be restricted, modified, or extended without written consent of the Owner and Architect. Consent shall not

be unreasonably withheld.

§ 10.3 The Architect will visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of the construction, but not less than once

every two weeks. Each engineering discipline shall make periodic visits not less than once every two weeks, during

the course of work applicable to its discipline. During critical work phases, each engineering discipline and

Architect may be required to make more frequent visits. The purpose of the visits is to become generally familiar

with the progress and quality of the portion of the Work completed, and to determine in general, if the Work

observed is being performed in a manner indicating that the Work, when fully completed, will be in accordance with

the Contract Documents. On the basis of the observations, Architect shall use reasonable care to guard the Owner

against defects and deficiencies in the Work of the Contractor. If the Architect observes any work that does not

conform to the Construction Documents, the Architect shall immediately make an oral and written report to Owner

and Program Manager of any such acts or omissions. The engineering disciplines shall prepare and submit a report

on each visit, submitted to the Owner, Program Manager and the Contractor through the Architect within five (5)

days of the visit.

§ 10.4 On the basis of the site visits, the Architect will keep the Owner reasonably informed about the progress and

quality of the portion of the Work completed, and promptly report to the Owner (1) known deviations from the

Contract Documents, (2) known deviations from the most recent construction schedule submitted by the Contractor,

and (3) defects and deficiencies observed in the Work. The Architect shall not have control over, charge of, or

responsibility for the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences (except to the extent phasing is required

in a contract or schedule) or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work. The

Architect shall be responsible for the Architect’s negligent acts or omissions, including, but not limited to, a

negligent failure to timely determine the Work is not being performed in accordance with the Contract Documents

or a negligent failure to notify the Owner that the construction means, techniques, sequences, or procedures utilized

by the Contractor are not generally accepted in the industry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Architect shall not

have control over or charge of, and shall not be responsible for, acts or omissions of the Contractor or of any other

persons or entities performing portions of the Work, provided the Architect has given prompt notice to the Owner in

writing of any deviations from the Contract Documents in the Work or any defects or deficiencies in the Work of the

Contractor of which the Architect has knowledge, or reasonably should have knowledge.

§ 10.5 Based on the Architect’s evaluations of the Work and of the Contractor’s Applications for Payment, the

Architect will review and certify the amounts due the Contractor and will issue Certificates for Payment in such

amounts.

§ 10.6 The Architect has authority to reject Work and shall reject Work that does not conform to the Contract

Documents and to require inspection or testing of the Work.

§ 10.7 The Architect will review and approve or take other appropriate action upon, the Contractor’s submittals such

as Shop Drawings, Product Data, and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with

information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents.

§ 10.8 The Architect will interpret and decide matters concerning performance under, and requirements of, the

Contract Documents on written request of either the Owner or Contractor. The Architect will make initial decisions

on all claims, disputes, and other matters in question between the Owner and Contractor but will not be liable for

results of any interpretations or decisions rendered in good faith.

§ 10.9 The Architect’s decisions on matters relating to aesthetic effect will be final if consistent with the intent

expressed in the Contract Documents.







17

ARTICLE 11 SUBCONTRACTORS § 11.1 A Subcontractor is a person or entity who has a direct contract with the Contractor to perform a portion of the

Work at the site.

§ 11.2 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, the Contractor, as soon as practicable after award of the

Contract, shall notify the Owner and Architect of the Subcontractors or suppliers proposed for each of the principal

portions of the Work. The Contractor shall not contract with any Subcontractor or supplier to whom the Owner or

Architect has made reasonable written objection within ten days after receipt of the Contractor’s list of

Subcontractors and suppliers. If the proposed but rejected Subcontractor was reasonably capable of performing the

Work, the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be increased or decreased by the difference, if any, occasioned by

such change, and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued before commencement of the substitute

Subcontractor’s Work. The Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Contractor has

made reasonable objection.

§ 11.3 Contracts between the Contractor and Subcontractors shall (1) require each Subcontractor, to the extent of the

Work to be performed by the Subcontractor, to be bound to the Contractor by the terms of the Contract Documents,

and to assume toward the Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities, including the responsibility for safety of

the Subcontractor’s Work, which the Contractor, by the Contract Documents, assumes toward the Owner and

Architect, and (2) allow the Subcontractor the benefit of all rights, remedies and redress against the Contractor that

the Contractor, by these Contract Documents, has against the Owner.

§ 11.4 The Contractor shall not change a Subcontractor, person or entity previously selected without the approval of

the Owner; provided, however, that Contractor shall be entitled to recover any resulting increase in the Contract

Sum resulting from any objection to the substitution.

§ 11.5 CONTINGENT ASSIGNMENT OF SUBCONTRACTS § 11.5.1 Each subcontract agreement for a portion of the Work is assigned by the Contractor to the Owner, provided

that assignment is effective only after termination of the Contract or Contractor’s performance by the Owner and

only for those subcontract agreements which the Owner accepts by notifying the Subcontractor and Contractor in

writing.

§ 11.5.2 Owner shall not be obligated for any payment or amounts claimed for work performed prior to the effective

date of the Assignment. Upon assignment, if the Work has been suspended for more than 45 days, the

Subcontractor’s compensation shall be equitably adjusted for increases in cost resulting from the suspension.

ARTICLE 12 CONSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR BY SEPARATE CONTRACTORS § 12.1 The term “Separate Contractor(s)” shall mean other contractors retained by the Owner under separate

agreements. The Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operations related to the Project with the

Owner’s own forces, and with Separate Contractors retained under Conditions of the Contract substantially similar

to those of this Contract, including those provisions of the Conditions of the Contract related to insurance and

waiver of subrogation.

§ 12.2 The Contractor shall afford the Owner and Separate Contractors reasonable opportunity for introduction and

storage of their materials and equipment and performance of their activities, and shall connect and coordinate the

Contractor’s activities with theirs as required by the Contract Documents.

§ 12.3 The Owner shall be reimbursed by the Contractor for costs incurred by the Owner which are payable to a

Separate Contractor because of delays, improperly timed activities, or defective construction of the Contractor. The

Owner shall be responsible to the Contractor for costs incurred by the Contractor because of delays, improperly

timed activities, damage to the Work, or defective construction of a Separate Contractor.

ARTICLE 13 CHANGES IN THE WORK § 13.1 By appropriate Modification, changes in the Work may be accomplished after execution of the Contract. The

Owner, without invalidating the Contract, may order changes in the Work within the general scope of the Contract

consisting of additions, deletions, or other revisions, with the Contract Sum and Contract Time being adjusted







18

accordingly. Such changes in the Work shall be authorized by written Change Order signed by the Owner,

Contractor, and Architect, or by written Construction Change Directive signed by the Owner and Architect. Upon

issuance of the Change Order or Construction Change Directive, the Contractor shall proceed promptly with such

changes in the Work, unless otherwise provided in the Change Order or Construction Change Directive.

§ 13.2 Adjustments in the Contract Sum and Contract Time resulting from a change in the Work shall be determined

by mutual agreement of the parties or, in the case of a Construction Change Directive signed only by the Owner and

Architect, by the Contractor’s cost of labor, material, equipment, and reasonable overhead and profit, unless the

parties agree on another method for determining the cost or credit. Pending final determination of the total cost of a

Construction Change Directive, the Contractor may request payment for Work completed pursuant to the

Construction Change Directive. The Architect will make an interim determination of the amount of payment due for

purposes of certifying the Contractor’s monthly Application for Payment. When the Owner and Contractor agree on

adjustments to the Contract Sum and Contract Time arising from a Construction Change Directive, the Architect

will prepare a Change Order. Agreement on any Change Order shall constitute a final settlement of all matters

relating to the change in the Work that is the subject of the Change Order, including, but not limited to, all direct and

indirect costs associated with such change and any and all adjustments to the Contract Sum and the construction

schedule. Subsequent claims for cumulative cost or cumulative impact shall not be allowed.

§ 13.3 The Architect will have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving adjustment in the

Contract Sum or extension of the Contract Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents.

Such changes shall be effected by written order and shall be binding on the Owner and Contractor. The Contractor

shall carry out such written orders promptly. If the Contractor believes that the proposed minor change in the Work

will affect the Contract Sum or Contract Time, the Contractor shall notify the Architect and shall not proceed to

implement the change in the Work.

§ 13.4 If concealed or unknown physical conditions are encountered at the site that are (1) subsurface or otherwise

concealed physical conditions that differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents or (2) unknown

physical conditions of an unusual nature that differ materially from those conditions ordinarily found to exist and

generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract Documents,

the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be equitably adjusted as mutually agreed between the Owner and

Contractor; provided that the Contractor provides notice to the Owner and Architect promptly and before conditions

are disturbed and in no event later than 21 days after first observance of the conditions. The Architect will promptly

investigate such conditions and, if the Architect determines that they differ materially and cause an increase or

decrease in the Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, will recommend an

equitable adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both. If the Architect determines that the conditions

at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents and that no change in the

terms of the Contract is justified, the Architect shall promptly notify the Owner and Contractor in writing, stating the

reasons. If either party disputes the Architect’s determination or recommendation, that party may proceed as

provided in Article 15.

.

ARTICLE 14 TIME § 14.1 Time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Contract. By executing this Agreement

the Contractor confirms that the Contract Time is a reasonable period for performing the Work.

§ 14.2 Unless otherwise provided, Contract Time is the period of time, including authorized adjustments, allotted in

the Contract Documents for Substantial Completion of the Work.

§ 14.3 The term “day” as used in the Contract Documents shall mean calendar day unless otherwise specifically

defined.

§ 14.4 The date of Substantial Completion is the date certified by the Architect in accordance with Section 15.6.3.

§ 14.5 If the Contractor is delayed at any time in the commencement or progress of the Work by (1) changes ordered

in the Work; (2) by labor disputes, fire, unusual delay in deliveries, abnormal adverse weather conditions not

reasonably anticipatable, unavoidable casualties, or any causes beyond the Contractor’s control; or (3) by other

causes that the Contractor asserts, and the Architect determines, justify delay, then the Contract Time shall be







19

extended by Changer Order for such reasonable time as the Owner and Architect may determine, but only if there

was not a concurrent critical path delay in the performance of the Work resulting from any other cause for which the

Contractor is not entitled to an extension in the Contract Time under the Contract Documents. The Contractor

further acknowledges and agrees that adjustments in the Contract Time will be permitted for a delay only to the

extent such delay (i) is not caused by the Contractor, (ii) could not be limited or avoided by the Contractor’s timely

notice to the Owner and Architect of the delay or reasonable likelihood that a delay will occur, and (iii) is of a

duration not less than one (1) day. Contractor shall strictly comply with all notice and time requirements contained

herein. Failure to strictly adhere thereto shall constitute a complete waiver of any claim for an extension of time or

additional compensation for delay.

ARTICLE 15 PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION § 15.1 Schedule of Values § 15.1.1 Where the Contract is based on a Stipulated Sum or the Cost of the Work with a Guaranteed Maximum

Price pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.4, the Contractor shall submit a schedule of values to the Architect before the first

Application for Payment, allocating the entire Stipulated Sum or Guaranteed Maximum Price to the various portions

of the Work. The schedule of values shall be prepared in the form, and supported by the data to substantiate its

accuracy required by the Architect. This schedule of values shall be used as a basis for reviewing the Contractor’s

Applications for Payment.

§ 15.1.2 The allocation of the Stipulated Sum or Guaranteed Maximum Price under this Section 15.1 shall not

constitute a separate stipulated sum or guaranteed maximum price for each individual line item in the schedule of

values.

§ 15.2 Control Estimate [NOT APPLICABLE]

§ 15.3 Applications for Payment § 15.3.1 At least thirty (30) days before the date established for each progress payment, the Contractor shall submit

to the Architect an itemized Application for Payment prepared in accordance with the schedule of values, if required

under Section 15.1, for completed portions of the Work. The application shall be notarized, if required; be supported

by all data substantiating the Contractor’s right to payment that the Owner or Architect require; shall reflect

retainage if provided for in the Contract Documents; and include any revised cost control information required by

Section 15.2.4. Such Application for Payment shall be certified as correct by an officer of Contractor and shall be

accompanied by acknowledgments of payment and other documentation from subcontractors’, materialmen and

suppliers as may be required by the Architect or Owner. In addition, such Application for Payment shall contain a

certification by the Contractor that there are no Claims by Contractor for which Owner and Architect have not

received written notice as required in Article 21; that there have been no claims submitted to the Contractor at the

date of such Application for Payment; and that all due and payable bills with respect to the Work have been paid to

date or shall be paid from the proceeds of such Application for Payment. Applications for Payment shall not include

requests for payment for portions of the Work for which the Contractor does not intend to pay a Subcontractor or

supplier, unless such Work has been performed by others whom the Contractor intends to pay and does promptly

pay.

§ 15.3.2 With each Application for Payment where the Contract Sum is based upon the Cost of the Work, or the Cost

of the Work with a Guaranteed Maximum Price, the Contractor shall submit payrolls, petty cash accounts, receipted

invoices or invoices with check vouchers attached, and any other evidence required by the Owner to demonstrate

that cash disbursements already made by the Contractor on account of the Cost of the Work equal or exceed

progress payments already received by the Contractor plus payrolls for the period covered by the present

Application for Payment, less that portion of the progress payments attributable to the Contractor’s Fee.

§ 15.3.3 Payments shall be made on account of materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for

subsequent incorporation in the Work. If approved in advance by the Owner, payment may similarly be made for

materials and equipment stored, and protected from damage, off the site at a location agreed upon in writing.

§ 15.3.4 The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by an Application for Payment will pass to the Owner

no later than the time of payment. The fact that retainage may be withheld shall not affect or limit the Owner’s title

to the Work or material. The Contractor further warrants that upon submittal of an Application for Payment all

Work for which Certificates for Payment have been previously issued and payments received from the Owner shall,







20

to the best of the Contractor’s knowledge, information and belief, be free and clear of liens, claims, security interests

or other encumbrances adverse to the Owner’s interests. Contractor shall indemnify and hold the Owner harmless

against any liens, claims, security interests or other encumbrances adverse to the Owner’s interests.

§ 15.4 Certificates for Payment § 15.4.1 The Architect will, within seven days after receipt of the Contractor’s Application for Payment, either issue

to the Owner a Certificate for Payment, with a copy to the Contractor, for such amount as the Architect determines

is properly due, or notify the Contractor and Owner of the Architect’s reasons for withholding certification in whole

or in part as provided in Section 15.4.3.

§ 15.4.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a representation by the Architect to the Owner,

based on the Architect’s evaluations of the Work and the data in the Application for Payment, that, to the best of the

Architect’s knowledge, information, and belief, the Work has progressed to the point indicated, the quality of the

Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents, and the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount

certified. The foregoing representations are subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract

Documents upon Substantial Completion, to results of subsequent tests and inspections, to correction of minor

deviations from the Contract Documents prior to completion and to specific qualifications expressed by the

Architect. However, the issuance of a Certificate for Payment will not be a representation that the Architect has (1)

made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work; (2) reviewed

construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures; (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received

from Subcontractors and suppliers and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor’s right to

payment; or (4) made examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously

paid on account of the Contract Sum.

§ 15.4.3 The Architect may withhold a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part, to the extent reasonably necessary

to protect the Owner, if in the Architect’s or Owner’s opinion the representations to the Owner required by Section

15.4.2 cannot be made. If the Architect is unable to certify payment in the amount of the Application, the Architect

will notify the Contractor and Owner as provided in Section 15.4.1. If the Contractor and the Architect cannot agree

on a revised amount, the Architect will promptly issue a Certificate for Payment for the amount for which the

Architect is able to make such representations to the Owner. The Architect may also withhold a Certificate for

Payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence, may nullify the whole or a part of a Certificate for

Payment previously issued, to such extent as may be necessary in the Architect’s opinion to protect the Owner from

loss for which the Contractor is responsible, including loss resulting from acts and omissions described in Section

9.2.2, because of

.1 defective Work not remedied;

.2 third-party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims unless security

acceptable to the Owner is provided by the Contractor;

.3 failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or suppliers for labor, materials

or equipment;

.4 reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum;

.5 damage to the Owner or a Separate Contractor;

.6 failure of Contractor to achieve the progress required by Contractor’s Construction Schedule;

.7 reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time and that the unpaid

balance would not be adequate to cover actual or liquidated damages for the anticipated delay or the

cost of recovery to overcome the delay; or

.8 repeated failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

The Owner may withhold payment on any Certificate of Payment on the same grounds the Architect may withhold

or nullify a Certificate of Payment.

§ 15.4.4 When either party disputes the Architect’s decision regarding a Certificate for Payment under Section

15.4.3, in whole or in part, that party may submit a Claim in accordance with Article 21, provided, however, that if

Contractor disputes a determination by the Architect or Owner with regard to a Certificate of Payment, Contractor

nevertheless shall expeditiously continue to prosecute the remainder of the Work.

.







21

§ 15.4.5 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, the Owner shall not be deemed to be in breach of this

Contract by reason of the withholding of any payment or part of a payment which the Architect has not certified or

which Owner declines to pay on the grounds set forth in Section 15.4.3.

§ 15.5 Progress Payments § 15.5.1 The Contractor shall pay each Subcontractor, no later than seven days after receipt of payment from the

Owner, the amount to which the Subcontractor is entitled, reflecting percentages actually retained from payments to

the Contractor on account of the Subcontractor’s portion of the Work. The Contractor shall, by appropriate

agreement with each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make payments to sub-subcontractors in a similar

manner.

§ 15.5.2 Neither the Owner nor Architect shall have an obligation to pay or see to the payment of money to a

Subcontractor or supplier except as may otherwise be required by law.

§ 15.5.3 A Certificate for Payment, a progress payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the

Owner shall not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents.

§ 15.5.4 Provided the Owner has fulfilled its payment obligations under the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall

defend and indemnify the Owner from all loss, liability, damage or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees

and litigation expenses, arising out of any lien claim or other claim for payment by any Subcontractor or supplier of

any tier. Upon receipt of notice of a lien claim or other claim for payment, the Owner shall notify the Contractor. If

approved by the applicable court, when required, the Contractor may substitute a surety bond for the property

against which the lien or other claim for payment has been asserted.

§ 15.5.6 If the Owner is entitled to reimbursement or payment from the Contractor under or pursuant to the Contract

Documents, such payment shall be made promptly upon demand by the Owner. Notwithstanding any provisions in

the Contract Documents to the contrary, if the Contractor fails to promptly make any payment due the Owner, if the

Owner incurs any costs and expenses to cure any default of the Contractor or to correct defective Work, or if the

Architect awards a Claim to another Contractor chargeable against Contractor, the Owner shall have an absolute

right to offset such amount against the Contract Sum and may, in the Owner’s sole discretion, elect to (i) deduct

such amount from any payment then or thereafter due the Contractor from the Owner, or (ii) issue a written notice to

the Contractor reducing the Contract Sum.

§ 15.6 Substantial Completion § 15.6.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or designated portion thereof

is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the

Work for its intended use.

§ 15.6.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept

separately, is substantially complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Architect a comprehensive list of

items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment. Failure to include an item on such list does not alter the

responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

§ 15.6.3 Upon receipt of the Contractor’s list, the Architect will make an inspection to determine whether the Work

or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. When the Architect determines and the Owner agrees that

the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Architect will issue a Certificate of Substantial

Completion which shall establish the date of Substantial Completion; establish responsibilities of the Owner and

Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance; and fix the time within

which the Contractor shall finish all items on the list accompanying the Certificate. Warranties required by the

Contract Documents shall commence on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion

thereof unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Completion.

§ 15.6.4 The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the Owner and Contractor for their written

acceptance of responsibilities assigned to them in the Certificate. Upon such acceptance and consent of surety, if







22

any, the Owner shall make payment of retainage applying to the Work or designated portion thereof. Such payment

shall be adjusted for Work that is incomplete or not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

§ 15.7 Final Completion and Final Payment § 15.7.1 Upon receipt of the Contractor’s notice that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and upon

receipt of a final Application for Payment, the Architect will promptly make such inspection and, when the Architect

finds and the Owner agrees that the Work is acceptable under the Contract Documents and that the Contract is fully

performed, the Architect will promptly issue a final Certificate for Payment stating that to the best of the Architect’s

knowledge, information and belief, and on the basis of the Architect’s on-site visits and inspections, the Work has

been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents and that the entire balance found to be due the

Contractor and noted in the final Certificate is due and payable. The Architect’s final Certificate for Payment will

constitute a further representation that conditions stated in Section 15.7.2 as precedent to the Contractor’s being

entitled to final payment have been fulfilled.

§ 15.7.2 Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the Contractor submits

to the Architect and Owner (1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness

connected with the Work have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) a certificate evidencing that insurance required

by the Contract Documents to remain in force after final payment is currently in effect and will not be canceled or

allowed to expire until at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the Owner, (3) a written

statement that the Contractor knows of no substantial reason that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the

period required by the Contract Documents, (4) consent of surety, if any, to final payment and (5), if required by the

Owner, other data establishing payment or satisfaction of obligations, such as acknowledgements of payments,

receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the Contract, to the

extent and in such form as may be designated by the Owner. If a Subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver

required by the Owner, the Contractor may furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify the Owner against

such claim. If such claim remains unsatisfied after payments are made, the Contractor shall refund to the Owner all

money that the Owner may be compelled to pay in discharging such claim, including all costs and reasonable

attorneys’ fees. The Contractor shall furnish such evidence as may be necessary to show that out-of-state

subcontractors or suppliers have fully met the requirements of payment of taxes as established in the law of the State

or local subdivision thereof which may be in effect at the time of final payment..

§ 15.7.3 The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of claims by the Owner except those arising from

.1 liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the Contract and unsettled;

.2 failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents;

.3 terms of warranties required by the Contract Documents; or

.4 audits performed by the Owner, if permitted by the Contract Documents, after final payment.

§ 15.7.4 Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor, a Subcontractor or supplier shall constitute a waiver of

claims by that payee except those previously made in writing and identified by that payee as unsettled at the time of

the final Application for Payment.

23

employed by any of them, or by anyone for whose acts they may be liable and for which the Contractor is

responsible under Sections 16.1.2 and 16.1.3. The Contractor may make a claim for the cost to remedy the damage

or loss to the extent such damage or loss is attributable to acts or omissions of the Owner or Architect or by anyone

for whose acts either of them may be liable, and not attributable to the fault or negligence of the Contractor. The

foregoing obligations of the Contractor are in addition to the Contractor’s obligations under Section 9.15.

§ 16.2 Hazardous Materials and Substances § 16.2.1 The Contractor is responsible for compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents regarding

hazardous materials or substances. If the Contractor encounters a hazardous material or substance not addressed in

the Contract Documents, and if reasonable precautions will be inadequate to prevent foreseeable bodily injury or

death to persons resulting from a material or substance, including but not limited to asbestos or polychlorinated

biphenyl (PCB), encountered on the site by the Contractor, the Contractor shall, upon recognizing the condition,

immediately stop Work in the affected area and notify the Owner and Architect of the condition. When the material

or substance has been rendered harmless, Work in the affected area shall resume upon written agreement of the

Owner and Contractor. By Change Order, the Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and the Contract Sum

shall be increased in the amount of the Contractor’s reasonable additional costs of shutdown, delay, and start-up.

§ 16.2.2 In the event the Owner believes the Contractor likely will encounter lead paint and / or asbestos on the

Project and included a notice to the Contractor of the likely presence of lead paint and / or asbestos the Bid

Documents, notwithstanding any provision of Section 16.2.1 to the contrary, Contractor acknowledges it shall be

responsible for all testing, abatement, removal, remediation, disposal and clean up of such Hazardous Materials and

to properly protect all people working on or visiting the project. Except as provided herein, the remaining

provisions of Section 16.2 shall remain in full force and effect, including, but not limited to, the Contractor's

obligation to report the presence of any such Hazardous Materials to the Owner prior to any disturbance of such

Hazardous Materials.

coverage than the primary policy. The excess policy shall not require the exhaustion of the underlying limits only

through the actual payment by the underlying insurers.

authorized to issue insurance in the jurisdiction where the Project is located, property insurance written on a

builder's risk “all-risks” completed value or equivalent policy form and sufficient to cover the total value of the

entire Project on a replacement cost basis. The Owner’s property insurance coverage shall be no less than the

equipment supplied by others. The property insurance shall be maintained until Substantial Completion and

thereafter as provided in Section 17.2.2.2, unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents or otherwise agreed

in writing by the parties to this Agreement. This insurance shall include the interests of the Owner, Contractor,

Subcontractors, and Sub-subcontractors in the Project as insureds. This insurance shall include the interests of

mortgagees as loss payees.

§ 17.2.2.2 Unless the parties agree otherwise, upon Substantial Completion, the Owner shall continue the insurance

required by Section 17.2.2.1 or, if necessary, replace the insurance policy required under Section 17.2.2.1 with

property insurance written for the total value of the Project that shall remain in effect until expiration of the period

for correction of the Work set forth in Section 18.4.

§ 17.2.2.3 If the insurance required by this Section 17.2.2 is subject to deductibles or self-insured retentions, the

Owner shall be responsible for all loss not covered because of such deductibles or retentions.

cancellation or expiration of any insurance required by this Section 17.2.2, the Owner shall provide notice to the

Contractor of such impending or actual cancellation or expiration. Unless the lapse in coverage arises from an act or

omission of the Contractor: (1) the Contractor, upon receipt of notice from the Owner, shall have the right to stop

the Work until the lapse in coverage has been cured by the procurement of replacement coverage by either the

Owner or the Contractor; (2) the Contract Time and Contract Sum shall be equitably adjusted; and (3) the Owner

waives all rights against the Contractor, Subcontractors, and Sub-subcontractors to the extent any loss to the Owner

would have been covered by the insurance had it not expired or been cancelled. If the Contractor purchases

replacement coverage, the cost of the insurance shall be charged to the Owner by an appropriate Change Order. The

furnishing of notice by the Owner shall not relieve the Owner of any contractual obligation to provide required

insurance.

subcontractors, agents, and employees, each of the other; (2) the Architect and Architect’s consultants; and (3)

of such insurance. The Owner or Contractor, as appropriate, shall require similar written waivers in favor of the

individuals and entities identified above from the Architect, Architect’s consultants, Separate Contractors,

subcontractors, and sub-subcontractors. The policies of insurance purchased and maintained by each person or entity

agreeing to waive claims pursuant to this Section 17.2.2.7 shall not prohibit this waiver of subrogation. This waiver







26

of subrogation shall be effective as to a person or entity (1) even though that person or entity would otherwise have a

duty of indemnification, contractual or otherwise, (2) even though that person or entity did not pay the insurance

premium directly or indirectly, or (3) whether or not the person or entity had an insurable interest in the damaged

property.

§ 17.2.2.7.2 If during the Project construction period the Owner insures properties, real or personal or both, at or

adjacent to the site by property insurance under policies separate from those insuring the Project, or if after final

payment property insurance is to be provided on the completed Project through a policy or policies other than those

insuring the Project during the construction period, to the extent permissible by such policies, the Owner waives all

rights in accordance with the terms of Section 17.2.2.7.1 for damages caused by fire or other causes of loss covered

by this separate property insurance.

§ 17.2.2.8 A loss insured under the Owner’s property insurance shall be adjusted by the Owner as fiduciary and made

payable to the Owner as fiduciary for the insureds, as their interests may appear, subject to requirements of any

applicable mortgagee clause. The Owner shall pay the Architect and Contractor their just shares of insurance

proceeds received by the Owner, and by appropriate agreements, written where legally required for validity, the

ARTICLE 18 CORRECTION OF WORK § 18.1 The Contractor shall promptly correct Work rejected by the Architect or failing to conform to the

requirements of the Contract Documents, whether discovered before or after Substantial Completion and whether or

not fabricated, installed, or completed. Costs of correcting such rejected Work, including additional testing and

inspections, the cost of uncovering and replacement, and compensation for the Architect’s services and expenses

made necessary thereby, shall be at the Contractor’s expense.

§ 18.2 In addition to the Contractor’s obligations under Section 9.4, if, within one year after the date of Substantial

Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof or after the date for commencement of warranties established

under Section 15.6.3, or by terms of an applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents, any of the

Work is found to be not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall correct

it promptly after receipt of notice from the Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously given the Contractor a

written acceptance of such condition. The Owner shall give such notice promptly after discovery of the condition.

portion of the Work.

§ 18.5 Nothing contained in this Article 18 shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to other

obligations that the Contractor might have under the Contract Documents. Establishment of the one-year period for

correction of Work as described in Section 18.2 relates only to the specific warranty obligation of the Contractor to

correct the Work, and has no relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply with the Contract







27

Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish

the Contractor’s liability with respect to the Contractor’s obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.

appropriate time. Unless otherwise provided, the Contractor shall make arrangements for such tests, inspections, and

approvals with an independent testing laboratory or entity acceptable to the Owner, or with the appropriate public

authority, and shall bear all related costs of tests, inspections, and approvals. The Contractor shall give the Architect

procedures. The Owner shall bear costs of tests, inspections, or approvals that do not become requirements until

after bids are received or negotiations concluded.

against the Owner for consequential damages including, but not limited to, damages incurred by the Contractor for

principal office expenses including the compensation of personnel stationed there, for losses of financing, business

and reputation, and for loss of profit except anticipated profit arising directly from the Work.

.1 refuses or fails to supply enough properly skilled workers or proper materials;

.2 fails to make payment to Subcontractors for materials or labor in accordance with the respective

agreements between the Contractor and the Subcontractors;

.3 disregards applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, or lawful orders of a

.7 otherwise is guilty of substantial breach of a provision of the Contract Documents.

§ 20.2.2 When any of the reasons described in Section 20.2.1 exists, the Owner may, without prejudice to

any other remedy the Owner may have and after giving the Contractor seven days’ notice, terminate

the Contract and:

.1 Take possession of the site and of all plans, files, electronic records or information, materials,

equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery thereon owned or leased by or in the

control of the Contractor;

.2 Take assignment of subcontracts pursuant to Section 11.5;

summary and recap of all contracts and agreements with subcontractors, suppliers, materialmen,

consultants, independent contractors and any other entity with which Contractor has contracted in

connection with the Project (collectively the “Contractor’s Subcontractors”). The recap shall set out

the following information for each of the Contractor’s Subcontractors: (i) initial contract amount, (ii)

a list of all approved change orders, (iii) a list of all pending change orders and a description thereof,

(iv) a list of the billings by each of Contractor’s Subcontractors and a list of payments; (v) a list of the

amounts billed on each change order, and a list of payments and such other information and

Contractor. Along with the recap, Contractor shall deliver all invoices, evidences of payment,

subcontracts, change orders and agreements.

Upon receipt of notification of termination, Contractor shall not remove any of the property described in Section

20.2.2 and will take all necessary action not to interfere with Owner’s rights upon termination. Contractor

acknowledges that his failure to comply with the requirements of Sections 20.2.2 and 20.2.3 will entitle Owner to

equitable relief, including a mandatory injunction to compel Contractor’s performance.

§ 20.2.3 When the Owner terminates the Contract for one of the reasons stated in Section 20.2.1, the Contractor shall

not be entitled to receive further payment until the Work is finished.

§ 20.2.4 If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum exceeds costs of finishing the Work, including compensation for

the Architect’s services and expenses made necessary thereby, liquidated damages and other damages incurred by

the Owner and not expressly waived, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such costs and damages exceed

the unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner. The amount to be paid to the Contractor or







29

Owner, as the case may be, shall be certified by the Architect, upon application, and this obligation for payment

shall survive termination of the Contract.

§ 20.3.2 Upon receipt of written notice from the Owner of such termination for the Owner’s convenience, the

.2 take actions necessary, or that the Owner may direct, for the protection and preservation of the Work;

and

.3 except for Work directed to be performed prior to the effective date of termination stated in the

notice, terminate all existing subcontracts and purchase orders and enter into no further subcontracts

and purchase orders.

§ 20.3.3 Upon such termination, the Contractor shall recover, as its sole remedy, payment for Work properly

performed in connection with the terminated portion of the Work prior to the effective date of termination, for items

properly and timely fabricated off the Project site, delivered and stored in accordance with the Owner’s instructions,

and for reasonable cost of demobilization. The Contractor hereby waives and forfeits all other claims for payment

and damages, including, without limitation, anticipated profits. The Owner shall be credited for (i) payments

previously made to the Contractor for the terminated portion of the Work, (ii) claims that the Owner or other

ARTICLE 21 CLAIMS AND DISPUTES § 21.1 Claims, disputes, and other matters in question arising out of or relating to this Contract, including those

alleging an error or omission by the Architect but excluding those arising under Section 16.2, shall be referred

claim shall be fully documented with support for all costs claimed and shall include an updated schedule showing

the effect on the time for completion. Failure of Contractor to strictly comply with this procedure shall constitute a

waiver and release of such claim. Any claim shall represent the entire claim for that event, and no additional claims

delay involved was to a critical party activity (or activities), was not caused or materially contributed to in whole or

part by Contractor (or anyone for which Contractor is responsible) or any other Prime Contractor, and results in a

delay to Substantial Completion of the Work. Contractor will not be entitled to an extension of time or any damages

for delay where there is concurrent delay for which a Prime Contractor or Contractor (or anyone for which

Contractor is responsible) is responsible in whole or part. Contractor’s claim for additional compensation for delay

documented by data substantiating that weather conditions were abnormal for the period of time, could not have

been reasonably anticipated and had an adverse effect on the critical path of construction. Claims for extension of

Contract Time for delays and excessive inclement weather (adverse weather) delay days shall be deemed to be

satisfied by the Owner granting an extension of time only and do not entitle the Contractor to reimbursement for

extended overhead or direct field supervision or other costs.

§ 21.2.3 Claims by either the Owner where the condition giving rise to the Claim is first discovered after expiration

of the period for correction of the Work set forth in Section 18.2, shall be initiated by notice to the Contractor.

related to the Contract in accordance with the requirements of the final dispute resolution method selected in this

Agreement whether in contract, tort, breach of warranty, or otherwise, within the period specified by applicable law,

but in any case not more than 10 years after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work. The Owner and

Contractor waive all claims and causes of action not commenced in accordance with this Section 21.3.

asserting such matter may proceed in accordance with applicable law to comply with the lien notice or filing

deadlines.

§ 21.5 The parties shall endeavor to resolve their disputes by mediation which, unless the parties mutually agree

otherwise, shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with their Construction

Industry Mediation Procedures in effect on the date of this Agreement. A request for mediation shall be made in

writing, delivered to the other party to this Agreement, and filed with the person or entity administering the

mediation. The request may be made concurrently with the binding dispute resolution but, in such event, mediation

shall proceed in advance of binding dispute resolution proceedings, which shall be stayed pending mediation for a

period of 60 days from the date of filing, unless stayed for a longer period by agreement of the parties or court order.

If an arbitration is stayed pursuant to this Section, the parties may nonetheless proceed to the selection of the

arbitrator(s) and agree upon a schedule for later proceedings.

§ 21.6 If the parties have selected arbitration as the method for binding dispute resolution in this Agreement, any

claim, subject to, but not resolved by, mediation shall be subject to arbitration which, unless the parties mutually

agree otherwise, shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association, in accordance with the

an arbitration may include by joinder persons or entities substantially involved in a common question of law or fact

whose presence is required if complete relief is to be accorded in arbitration provided that the party sought to be

joined consents in writing to such joinder. Consent to arbitration involving an additional person or entity shall not

constitute consent to arbitration of a Claim not described in the written Consent.

§ 21.9 The foregoing agreement to arbitrate and other agreements to arbitrate with an additional person or entity duly

consented to by parties to this Agreement, shall be specifically enforceable under applicable law in any court having

jurisdiction thereof.

§ 21.10 Continuing Contract Performance Pending final resolution of a Claim, except as otherwise agreed in writing, the Contractor shall proceed diligently

with performance of the Contract and the Owner shall continue to make payments in accordance with the Contract

Documents.

Contract. This waiver includes damages incurred by the Contractor for principal office expenses including the

compensation of personnel stationed there, for losses of financing, business and reputation, and for loss of profit

with joint-sealant manufacturer’s written instructions and the following requirements:

3.2.1.1 Remove all foreign material from joint substrates that could interfere with adhesion of

joint sealant, including dust, paints (except for permanent, protective coatings tested and

approved for sealant adhesion and compatibility by sealant manufacturer), old joint

sealants, oil, grease, waterproofing, water repellents, water, surface dirt, and frost.

3.2.1.2 Clean porous joint substrate surfaces by brushing, grinding, mechanical abrading, or a

combination of these methods to produce a clean, sound substrate capable of developing

optimum bond with joint sealants. Remove loose particles remaining after cleaning

operations above by vacuuming or blowing out joints with oil-free compressed air.

Ensure surface roughness inside joints is as necessary for sealant application in

accordance with joint sealant manufacturer written instructions.

3.2.1.3 Clean nonporous joint substrate surfaces with chemical cleaners or other means that do

not stain, harm substrates, or leave residues capable of interfering with adhesion of joint

sealants.

3.2.1.4 Joint Priming: Prime joint substrates where recommended by joint-sealant manufacturer.

Apply primer to comply with joint-sealant manufacturer’s written instructions. Confine

primer to areas of joint-sealant bond; do not allow spillage or migration onto adjoining

surfaces.

3.2.1.5 Masking Tape: Use masking tape where required to prevent contact of sealant or primer

with adjoining surfaces that otherwise would be permanently stained or damaged by such

contact or by cleaning methods required to remove sealant smears. Remove tape

immediately after tooling without disturbing joint seal.

3.3 Installation of Joint Sealants

3.3.1 General: Comply with joint-sealant manufacturer’s written installation instructions for products

and applications indicated, unless more stringent requirements apply.

3.3.2 Sealant Installation Standard: Comply with recommendations in ASTM C 1193 for use of joint

sealants as applicable to materials, applications, and conditions indicated.

3.3.3 Install sealant backings of kind indicated to support sealants during application and at position

required to produce cross-sectional shapes and depths of installed sealants relative to joint widths

that allow optimum sealant movement capability:

3.3.3.1 Do not leave gaps between ends of sealant backings.

3.3.3.2 Do not stretch, twist, puncture, or tear sealant backings.

3.3.3.3 Remove absorbent sealant backings that have become wet before sealant application and

replace them with dry materials.

3.3.3.4 Set depth of backing in accordance with manufacturer written instructions for optimal

joint depth.

3.3.4 Install sealants using proven techniques that comply with the following and at the same time

backings are installed:

3.3.4.1 Place sealants so they directly contact and fully wet joint substrates.

3.3.4.2 Completely fill recesses in each joint configuration.

3.3.4.3 Produce uniform, cross-sectional shapes and depths relative to joint widths that allow

optimum sealant adhesion and movement capability.

3.4 Cleaning - Clean off excess sealant or sealant smears adjacent to joints as the Work progresses by methods

and with cleaning materials approved in writing by manufacturers of joint sealants and of products in which

joints occur.

3.5 Protection - Protect joint sealants during and after curing period from contact with contaminating

substances and from damage resulting from construction operations or other causes so sealants are without

deterioration or damage at time of Substantial Completion. If, despite such protection, damage or

deterioration occurs, cut out and remove damaged or deteriorated joint sealants immediately so installations

with repaired areas are indistinguishable from original work.
