1.03 ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

A. References to “Contractor” throughout the Documents are intended to include the Construction

B. Occupancy Prior to Completion: The Owner’s general intent is to accept the entire project;

however, the Owner shall have the right to occupy a portion of the project considered substantially completed even though the Contractor may not have completed the entire project.

Such occupancy by the Owner will not release the Contractor or the bonding agency from any warranties or guarantees and final completion of work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

C. Contractor Use of Premises: The Contractor shall limit the storage of materials and equipment to the areas approved by the Owner. At no time during the work under the Contract shall the Contractor place or cause to be placed any material or equipment, etc. at any location that would impede or impair traffic or security. The Contractor shall fully cooperate with the Owner and Architect in providing traffic control during course of construction.

The Contractor shall send proper notices, make all necessary arrangements, and perform all services required in the care and maintenance of all public utilities. The Contractor shall, during the construction period and until final acceptance of the work by the Owner, assume all responsibility concerning the same for which the Owner may be liable.

D. Disposition of Utilities: Observe rules and regulations governing the respective utilities in executing all work under this heading. Adequately protect active utilities from damage and remove or relocate only as indicated or specified. Remove, plug or cap inactive and abandoned utilities encountered during the work. If there are no specific requirements, plug or cap such utility lines at least 3 feet outside of new building walls or as required by local regulations.

F. Contractor shall submit weekly reports identifying work completed the previous week and work expected to be completed the next three weeks. AT the end of each month, Contractor shall issue a monthly summary documenting progress, changes, RFIs, ASIs, Change Orders, etc issued that month and any outstanding issues or concerns as well as a contingency log.

1.04 SIGNED DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS

A. Not Used

1.05 WATERTIGHT-WEATHERTIGHT

A. Anything in the Contract Documents not withstanding, the Contractor accepts the responsibility of constructing a watertight and weathertight project.

1.06 CORRELATION AND INTENT OF THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Before performing any portion of the Work, the Contractor shall investigate the physical aspects of the Project Site and verify all dimensions and elevations, existing improvements, surface and subsurface soil conditions, drainage of both surface and subsurface, soil plasticity, and general suitability of conditions at the Project Site.

B. In the event of conflicts, explanatory notes in the Drawings take precedence over graphic indications, large scale drawings and details take precedence over smaller scale drawings and figured, or calculated dimensions take precedence over scaled dimensions. The Contractor shall verify all dimensions by measurements of conditions and of Work in place.

C. The inter-relation of the Project Manual, the Drawings and the schedules are as follows: The Project Manual determines the quality, nature and setting of the materials; the Drawings establish the quantities, dimensions, and details; and the schedules give the location.

D. Should the drawings disagree in themselves, or with the Project Manual or with one another, or if proprietary information disagrees with performance requirements in either the Drawings or the Project Manual, the better quality or greater quantity of the Work or materials shall be estimated upon, and unless otherwise ordered by the Architect in writing, shall be performed or furnished.

Should discrepancies or doubt occur, do not proceed with the Work without clarification from the Architect. Contractor shall request clarification in sufficient time to avoid delays and increases in the contract sum.

1.07 TIME

A. Contractor shall not request additional time to complete the project because of delay occurring on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays.

B. The Time estimated by the Contractor for completion of the entire work ready for use shall include the number of calendar days, for anticipated delays due to normal weather conditions.

C. No time extension for delays due to weather will be allowed until and unless such delays exceed the time included for normal weather delays on a contractual basis. In case of claims for extension of time because of abnormal inclement weather, such extension of time shall be granted only when the contractor proves in a manner acceptable to the Architect, that such abnormal inclement weather prevented the execution of major items of work on normal working days for that month and affected the critical path for completion. A weather table reflecting the meteorological data from the local area is provided herein and will be used to determine contract time extensions due to abnormally inclement weather.

D. To this contract, “abnormal inclement weather” will be interpreted as the number of days more than the normal on which rainfall exceeds 0.01 inch or snow/ice pellets exceed 1.0 inch.

Extension of time to complete the project will be based on actual working days. No extension of time will be allowed for extreme temperatures unless the installation of a material is specified to be installed within tolerance. Extensions will then only be granted if conditions identified in 1.08 are followed. All requests for extensions must be submitted monthly for the previous month's work and accompany the scheduled Pay Application. Any days not requested in this manner will not be considered.

1.08 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

A. The Work will not be considered suitable for Substantial Completion review until all project systems included in the work are complete, tested, and operational as designed and scheduled, all designated or required governmental inspections and certifications including certificate of occupancy, have been made and posted, designated instruction of Owner's personnel in the operation of systems has been completed, and all final finishes within the Contract documents are in place. In general, the only remaining work shall be minor in nature, so that the Owner could occupy the building on that date and the completion of the Work by the Contractor would not interfere or hamper the Owner's normal business operations. As a further condition of Substantial completion acceptance, the Contractor shall certify that all remaining Work, the same being solely of a "punchlist" nature, will be completed within thirty (30) consecutive calendar days following the Date of Substantial completion.

The Owner shall not be deemed in default by reason of withholding payment while any of such defaults remain uncured. The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the Owner and Contractor for their written acceptance of responsibilities assigned to them in such certificate. Upon such acceptance and consent of surety, the Owner shall make such payment as to bring the total payment for the work completed to 95% of the contract amount. Such payment shall be adjusted for work that is incomplete or not in accordance with the requirements of the contract documents. No reduction in retainage will be considered until all remaining items, no matter the size or complexity, are complete and Final Completion is achieved.
