ARTICLE 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS

§ 1.1 Basic Definitions § 1.1.1 The Contract Documents The Contract Documents are enumerated in the Master Agreement between the Owner and Contractor (hereinafter the Agreement) and consist of the Agreement, Work Order and the documents incorporated by reference into it, Conditions of the Contract (General, Supplementary, and other Conditions), Drawings, Specifications, Addenda issued prior to execution of the Contract, other documents listed in the Agreement, and Modifications issued after execution of the Contract. 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.

§ 1.1.1.1 Unless specifically enumerated in the Agreement, the Contract Documents do not include the advertisement or invitation to bid, Instructions to Bidders, sample forms, other information furnished by the Owner in anticipation of receiving bids or proposals, the Contractor’s bid or proposal, or portions of Addenda relating to bidding or proposal requirements. An assemblage of documents compiled as a project manual is not necessarily the Contract Documents, and the inclusion of a document in any such assemblage does not incorporate it into the Contract Documents unless it is specifically enumerated in the Agreement.

§ 1.1.2 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 (1) between the Contractor and the Architect or the Architect’s consultants, (2) between the Owner and a Subcontractor or a Sub-subcontractor, (3) between the Owner and the Architect or the Architect’s consultants, (4) between the Contractor and the Owner’s consultants, or (5) between any persons or entities other than the Owner and the Contractor. The Architect shall, however, be entitled to performance and enforcement of obligations under the Contract intended to facilitate performance of the Architect’s duties.

§ 1.1.3 The Work The term "Work" means the construction and services required by the Contract Documents, whether completed or partially completed, and includes all 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.

§ 1.1.4 The Project The Project is the total construction of which the Work performed under the Contract Documents may be the whole or a part and which may include construction by the Owner and by Separate Contractors.

§ 1.1.5 The Drawings The Drawings are the graphic and pictorial portions of the Contract Documents showing the design, location, and dimensions of the Work, generally including plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules, and diagrams.

§ 1.1.6 The Specifications The Specifications are that portion of the Contract Documents consisting of the written requirements for materials, equipment, systems, standards and workmanship for the Work, and performance of related services.

§ 1.1.7 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.

§ 1.1.8 Initial Decision Maker The Initial Decision Maker is the person identified in the Agreement to render initial decisions on Claims in accordance with Section 15.2. The Initial Decision Maker shall not show partiality to the Owner or Contractor and shall not be liable for results of interpretations or decisions rendered in good faith.

§ 1.1.9 Construction Team The Construction Team consists of the Contractor, Subcontractors, sub-subcontractor at any tier, suppliers and (i) all other persons in privity of contract with any of them in connection with the Work (except the Owner), (ii) anyone else providing labor, materials, supplies, equipment, or services as part of or in connection with the Work (except those, if any, hired directly or indirectly by the Owner), and (iii) all of their officers, employees, agents, and independent contractors.

§ 1.1.10 Applicable Law Applicable Law refers to any applicable laws, common law, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, or lawful orders of public authorities bearing on the Work, Project, and the Construction Team’s activities in relation to the Work and Project.

§ 1.2 Correlation and Intent of the Contract Documents § 1.2.1 The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items necessary for the proper execution and completion of the Work by the Contractor, but Contract Documents are by nature generally diagrammatic. The Contractor shall therefore provide labor and materials that are consistent with the Contract Documents and reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce the indicated results for the Contract Sum and Contract Time, even if an item is not specifically drawn or specified. In the event of inconsistencies within or between parts of the Contract Documents, or between the Contract Documents and Applicable Law, the Contractor shall: (i) provide the better quality or greater quantity of Work, or (ii) comply with the more stringent requirement; either or both in accordance with the Architect’s interpretation. The terms and conditions of this Section 1.2.1, however, shall not relieve the Contractor of any obligations set forth in Section 3.2 and 3.7.

(Paragraph deleted) § 1.2.2 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.

§ 1.2.3 The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is required by one shall be as binding as if required by all. Work not particularly detailed, marked, or specified shall be the same as similar parts that are detailed, marked or specified. On certain Contract Documents, only a portion of the detail may be fully shown, and the remainder indicated in outline, in which case the general detail shall be understood as applying also to other like portions of the Work. For example, if case carving, ornament, facing, veneer, or similar treatment is indicated by starting of the detail, such detail must be continued throughout the course of parts in which it occurs, and to all similar parts in the Work wherever such general detail shall apply unless otherwise specifically provided in the Contract Documents.

Organization of the Specifications into divisions, sections and articles, and the arrangement of Drawings into categories does not relieve the Contractor of its obligation to coordinate the Work, does not control the Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors, and does not establish the extent of Work to be performed by any trade.

Similarly, the organization of the Contractor’s duties into different phases or categories in the Contract Documents is for convenience only and shall not limit the Contractor’s obligation to provide all of the Work. The Contractor shall reconcile any such conflict presented by such organization without delay or cost to the Owner.

§ 1.2.4 References in the Contract Documents to standards, such as those published by trade associations and governmental agencies, whether for materials, processes, assemblies, workmanship, performance, or any other purpose, shall mean the version of the standard published most recently prior to the date of the particular part of the Contract Documents bearing the reference. Unless expressly modified, all standards referred to by the Contract Documents have the same contractual effect as though restated therein. These standards will not be furnished to the Contractor, as the Contractor and all members of the Construction Team are required to be familiar with their requirements.

§ 1.2.5 Work called for on the Drawings and not mentioned in the Specifications, or vice versa, shall be performed as though fully set forth in both. Nothing in this Section 1.2, however, shall relieve the Contractor of any of its obligations under the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall be responsible for timely and thoroughly reviewing the Contract Documents to fully understand the nature and the scope of the Work, and shall promptly notify the Architect upon the discovery of any potential conflicts, discrepancies, gaps, or other deficiencies. It is acknowledged

User Notes: (1816623728) by the Contractor that the Contractor has had, or will be afforded, the opportunity to review and seek clarification of the Contract Documents prior to entering into any Subcontract for the Work or entering into an agreement or amendment establishing the Contract Sum, Guaranteed Maximum price, or the Contract Time. The resolution of potential conflicts, discrepancies, gap, or other deficiencies of the Contract Documents shall be resolved under the following priorities:

.1 Modifications;

.2 The Work Order;

.3 The Agreement;

.4 These General Conditions of the Contract for Construction;

.5 Addenda, with those of later date having precedence over those of earlier date;

.6 The Supplementary Conditions

.7 The Specifications;

.8 Drawings;

§ 1.2.6 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, words or abbreviations that have well-known technical or construction industry meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings.

§ 1.2.7 The singular shall include the plural and vice versa. Pronouns are interchangeable. The word "person" includes human beings and recognized legal entities. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, reference to a section shall include all subsections beneath it bearing identical introductory numbers

§ 1.2.8 Delegated Design §1.2.8.1 In the event the Contract Documents delegate the design of a portion of the Work to the Contractor or the Construction Team, or otherwise require the performance of professional services, the Contractor will provide all such services with the standard of care that would be followed on a comparable project by a reasonably skilled design professional in the same field working in the locality of the Project. The Contractor shall provide the services through a properly licensed design profession whose signature and seal shall appear on all drawings, specifications, submittals, and other deliverables. All Work designed by the Contractor or Construction Team shall be in accordance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, or lawful orders of public authorities.

§ 1.2.8.2 The Contractor will cooperate with the Owner, Architect, and the Owner’s consultants in the performance of any design that has been delegated to it in order to ensure its design can be coordinated with the Owner’s or the Architect’s (as may be applicable) design for the other portions of the Project.

§ 1.2.8.3 The Contractor will promptly inform the Owner of information needed to meet the Contractor’s obligations under this Section 1.2.8.

§ 1.2.8.4 The Contractor grants, or will cause to be granted, to the Owner a perpetual, nonexclusive license to use all designs prepared by or for the Construction Team for constructing, using, maintaining, altering, and adding to the Project in the future.

§ 1.3 Capitalization Terms capitalized in these General Conditions include those that are (1) specifically defined, (2) the titles of numbered articles, or (3) the titles of other documents published by the American Institute of Architects.

§ 1.4 Interpretation In the interest of brevity, the Contract Documents frequently omit modifying words such as "all" and "any" and articles such as "the" and "an," but the fact that a modifier or an article is absent from one statement and appears in another is not intended to affect the interpretation of either statement.

§ 1.5 Ownership and Use of Drawings, Specifications, and Other Instruments of Service § 1.5.1 The agreement between the Owner and Architect shall establish the ownership of the Instruments of Service, including the Drawings and Specifications and who will and retain all common law, statutory, and other reserved rights in the 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 any reserved rights.

§ 1.5.2 The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, and suppliers are authorized to use and reproduce the Instruments of Service provided to them, subject to any protocols established pursuant to Sections 1.7 and 1.8, solely and exclusively for execution of the Work. All copies made under this authorization shall bear the copyright notice, 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 the Project outside the scope of the Work without the specific written consent of the Owner, Architect, and the Architect’s applicable consultants.

§ 1.5.3 In the event the Contract Documents require the Contractor to produce any intellectual property, the Contractor grants to the Owner a perpetual nonexclusive license to use and reproduce it for purposes of constructing, using, maintaining, altering, and adding to the Project, now and in the future. The Contractor shall obtain similar perpetual nonexclusive licenses from its Subcontractors and consultants. The license granted under this section permits the Owner to authorize its consultants, the Architect and its consultants, and the Owner’s Separate Contractors to use and reproduce applicable portions of the intellectual property for purposes.

§ 1.6 Notice § 1.6.1 Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.6.2, 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 if receipt of the notice is acknowledged by the addressee.

§ 1.6.2 Notice of Claims as provided in Section 15.1.3 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 United States Postal Service first class, certified, or registered mail; by courier providing proof of delivery; or by electronic transmission if receipt of the Claim is acknowledged by the addressee.

§ 1.7 Digital Data Use and Transmission The Architect and Contractor shall agree upon protocols governing the transmission and use of Instruments of Service or any other information or documentation in digital form by the Construction Team. The Architect and Contractor may 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.
