PART 1

ACKNOWLEDGMENT, ORGANIZATION, AND

INTERPRETATION OF GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.1 Contractor Acknowledgment of General Provisions. These General Provisions are an integral component of the Contract Documents. By entering into the Contract, the Contractor: (i) acknowledges that it had the opportunity prior to submitting its bid for the Work to review and seek clarification of any and all provisions of these General Provisions from the District, Architect, and/or Project Manager; and (ii) acknowledges and agrees that the Contractor shall be deemed and construed to have read and that it fully understands these General Provisions. The Contractor shall not disclaim either knowledge of, or the meaning and effect of, any term or provision of these General Provisions and shall strictly abide by their meaning and intent. The Contractor further acknowledges that these General Provisions include requirements for including various provisions in the Contractor’s contracts with its Subcontractors. THE CONTRACTOR MUST PROVIDE A COPY OF THESE GENERAL PROVISIONS TO EACH SUBCONTRACTOR AND SHALL REQUIRE IN EACH OF ITS SUBCONTRACTS THAT THE SUBCONTRACTOR

ALSO MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE GENERAL PROVISIONS.

1.2 Organization of General Provisions. These General Provisions are organized according to general subject matter. However, requirements applicable to any particular item, material, service, scope, et cetera, may be included in multiple provisions of these General Provisions. Therefore, unless expressly stated otherwise, the requirements of any one provision in these General Provisions shall not be deemed or construed to govern or apply exclusively over other provisions in these General Provisions applicable to the same item, material, service, scope, et cetera. The provisions of these General Provisions are also organized based on a numbering system in which: (i) Parts (e.g., Part 3) may be subdivided into Sections (e.g., Section 3.5); and (ii) Sections may be subdivided into Subsections (e.g., Subsection 3.5.1). Lists (i.e., enumerations of items) are set forth in these General Provisions using Romanette symbols (i.e., i, ii, iii, iv, et cetera).

1.3 Guides for Interpreting General Provisions. As used in these General Provisions, “shall” and “must” shall be deemed and construed as mandatory, and “may” shall be deemed and construed as permissive. If any pronoun, term or phrase in these General Provisions is stated in either the masculine or feminine sense (e.g., “materialman”), the pronoun, term or phrase, unless otherwise required by context, shall be interpreted as including both or either of such genders. Unless specified otherwise, any reference in these General Provisions to a number of “days,” “months,” or “years” shall mean, respectively, calendar days, months or years. Unless specified otherwise, any reference in these General Provisions to a number of “hours,” “days,” “weeks,” “months” or “years” shall mean, respectively, consecutive hours, days, weeks, months or years. Language in these General Provisions to the effect that the Contractor or other person or entity is to provide or furnish something, or words to the same or similar effect, shall be deemed to mean that the thing must be “provided, complete in place,” “furnished and installed,” or otherwise incorporated into the Work and/or used as necessary to complete the Work and/or administer the Contract in accordance with the Contract Documents. For the convenience of the reader and in order to shorten the length of these General Provisions, capitalized terms are used in these General Provisions to designate defined terms. Each term or phrase that is not capitalized or defined shall be construed in accordance with the meaning commonly associated with such term or phrase within the State and region within which the Project is located.

For the convenience of the reader, the following table specifies the location in these General Provisions and other Contract Documents of the definitions of certain capitalized terms used in these General Provisions.
