1.2 The Contract Documents

1.2.1 The Contract Documents consist of this Contract, the Specifications, the Drawings, Supplemental Conditions, all Change Orders and Field Orders issued hereafter, any other amendments hereto executed by the parties hereafter, together with the following (if any):

1.2.2 The Contractor shall have a continuing duty to read, carefully study and compare each of the Contract Documents, the Shop Drawings and the Product Data, and shall give written notice to the Owner and the Architect of any inconsistency, ambiguity, error, or omission that the Contractor discovers regarding these documents before proceeding with the affected Work. The issuance or the express or implied approval by the Owner or the Architect of the Contract Documents, Shop Drawings, or Product Data shall not relieve the Contractor of the continuing duties imposed hereby, nor shall any such approval be evidence of the Contractor’s compliance with this Contract. The Owner has requested the Architect to only prepare documents for the Project, including the Drawings and Specifications, which are accurate, adequate, consistent, coordinated and sufficient for construction. HOWEVER, THE OWNER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR

WARRANTY OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER TO THE CONTRACTOR

CONCERNING SUCH DOCUMENTS. By the execution hereof, the Contractor acknowledges and represents that it has received, reviewed, and carefully examined such documents, has found them to be complete, accurate, adequate, consistent, coordinated and sufficient for construction, and that the Contractor has not, does not, and will not rely upon any representation or warranties by the Owner concerning such documents as no such representation or warranties have been or are hereby made.

1.2.3 The Contractor herein acknowledges and represents that prior to the submission of its bid, and prior to its execution of this Contract, it visited and carefully examined the Project site and any and all structures located thereon, and it thoroughly correlated the results of such visit and examination with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

The Contractor further acknowledges that it has become familiar with the local conditions under which the Work is to be performed, and the cost of properly addressing such conditions during performance of the Work is included in the Contract Price.

1.2.4 Neither the organization of any of the Contract Documents into divisions, sections, paragraphs, articles, or other categories nor the organization or arrangement of the Design shall control the Contractor in dividing the Work or in establishing the extent or scope of the Work to be performed by Subcontractors. Unless otherwise provided herein, a reference to “Article” or “Section” shall include all sections, subsections, and other subdivisions of such Section or Article.

1.3 Ownership of Contract Documents

1.3.1 The Contract Documents, and each of them, shall remain the property of the Owner. The Contractor shall have the right to keep one record set of the Contract Documents upon completion of the Project. However, in no event shall Contractor use, or permit to be used, any or all of such Contract Documents on other projects without the Owner’s prior written authorization.

1.4 Hierarchy of Contract Documents

1.4.1 In the event of any conflict, discrepancy, or inconsistency among any of the Contract Documents, the following hierarchy shall control: (a) as between figures given on Drawings and the scaled measurements, the figures shall govern; (b) as between large scale drawings and small scale drawings, the large scale shall govern; (c) as between Drawings and Specifications, the requirements of the Specifications shall govern; (d) as between the Contract for Construction and Incorporated General Conditions and the Specifications, the requirements of the Contract for Construction and Incorporated General Conditions shall govern; (e) as between any Supplemental Conditions and the Contract for Construction and Incorporated General Conditions, the requirements of the Supplemental Conditions shall govern. As set forth hereinabove, any and all conflicts, discrepancies, or inconsistencies shall be immediately reported to the Owner and the Architect in writing by the Contractor.

ARTICLE 2.

THE WORK

2.1 The Contractor shall perform all of the Work required, implied or reasonably inferable from, this Contract.

2.2 The term “Work” shall mean whatever is done by or required of the Contractor to perform and complete its duties under this Contract, including the following:

(i) construction of the whole or a designated part of the Project; (ii) furnishing of any required surety bonds and insurance; and (iii) the provision or furnishing of labor, supervision, services, materials, supplies, equipment, fixtures, appliances, facilities, tools, transportation, storage, power, permits and licenses required of the Contractor. Fuel, heat, light, cooling and all other utilities as required by this Contract shall also be deemed part of the Work. The Work to be performed by the Contractor is generally described as follows:

ARTICLE 3.

CONTRACT TIME

3.1 Time and Damages for Delay

3.1.1 The Contractor shall commence the Work on and shall achieve Substantial Completion of the Work no later than . The number of calendar days from the date on which the Work is permitted to proceed, through the date set forth for Substantial Completion, shall constitute the “Contract Time.”

3.1.2 The Contractor shall pay the Owner the sum of $250 per day for each and every calendar day of delay in achieving Substantial Completion beyond the date set forth herein for Substantial Completion of the Work. Any sums due and payable under this Section shall be payable not as a penalty but as liquidated damages representing an estimate of delay damages likely to be sustained by the Owner, estimated at or before the time of executing this Contract. When the Owner reasonably believes that Substantial Completion will be delayed, the Owner shall be entitled, but not required, to withhold from any amounts otherwise due the Contractor an amount then believed by the Owner to be adequate to cover liquidated damages applicable to such delays. If and when the Contractor overcomes the delay in achieving Substantial Completion, or any part thereof, for which the Owner has withheld payment, the Owner shall promptly release to the Contractor those funds withheld, but no longer applicable, as liquidated damages.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the Owner and the Contractor expressly agree that the liquidated damages set forth herein do not contemplate, nor do they cover, any Funding Delay Damages as identified in Section 5.6.1.2. Any such Funding Delay Damages shall be in addition to the liquidated damages allowed pursuant to this Section.

3.2 Substantial Completion

3.2.1 “Substantial Completion” shall mean that stage in the completion of the Work when the Work is sufficiently complete in accordance with this Contract such that the Owner can enjoy beneficial use and occupancy of the Work, can utilize the Work for its intended purpose, and a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued allowing full and complete occupancy of the entire Project. Additionally, the Work shall not be deemed to be Substantially Complete until all nonconforming Work specifically rejected by the Architect has been properly completed as required by the Contract and until all operational manuals, “marked-up” drawings, and similar required documents are delivered to the Architect for transmission to the Owner. However, the mere issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy will not, by itself, constitute Substantial Completion. Ordinary and customary punchlist items shall be completed after Substantial Completion as provided by Section

5.5. Partial use or occupancy of the Project shall not result in the Project being deemed Substantially Complete, and such partial use or occupancy shall not be evidence of Substantial Completion.

3.2.2 In addition to the requirements for Substantial Completion as set forth in Section

3.2.1, as an express condition for Substantial Completion, the Contractor shall furnish to the Owner and the Architect, in writing, a detailed list of all incomplete and deficient Work which must be completed and corrected prior to Final Completion of the Project. THIS

LIST SHALL BE IN ADDITION TO ALL PUNCHLISTS REQUIRED ELSEWHERE BY

THIS CONTRACT. Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract, an express condition for Substantial Completion is the submission by the Contractor to

Owner and Architect of any warranties, manuals, drawings, forms, or other documents or things, of any kind or nature, as may be required for Substantial Completion by any of the

Contract Documents. In the event the Contract Documents require the submission of any such documents or things in order for the Project to be considered Substantially

Complete, receipt of same by Owner and Architect is an express condition precedent to any duty by Owner to make any payment otherwise due Contractor upon Substantial

Completion.

3.3 Time is of the Essence

3.3.1 All limitations of time set forth in the Contract Documents are of the essence of this Contract.

ARTICLE 4.

CONTRACT PRICE

4.1.1 The Owner shall pay, and the Contractor shall accept, as full and complete payment for all of the Work, the fixed sum of . The sum set forth in this Section shall constitute the Contract Price and shall not be modified except by Change Order as provided in this Contract. The fixed sum includes the following:

ARTICLE 5.

PAYMENT OF THE CONTRACT PRICE

5.1 Schedule of Values

5.1.1 Within ten (10) calendar days after the effective date hereof, the Contractor shall submit to the Owner and to the Architect a Schedule of Values allocating the Contract

Price among the various portions of the Work. The Contractor’s Schedule of Values shall be prepared in such form, with such detail, and supported by such data as the Architect or the Owner may require to substantiate its accuracy. The Contractor shall not imbalance the Schedule of Values or artificially inflate any element thereof. The violation of this provision by the Contractor shall constitute a material breach of this Contract. The Schedule of Values shall be used only as a basis for the Contractor’s Applications for Payment and shall only constitute such basis after it has been acknowledged in writing by the Architect and the Owner. Receipt of the Schedule of Values as required herein is a condition precedent to payment of any sums due the Contractor.

5.1.2 In the event any Work is to be performed under a unit-price agreement, the Contractor acknowledges and represents that it has not imbalanced or artificially inflated the unit prices, and if requested by the Owner or the Architect, the Contractor shall provide such data and supporting documentation as may be requested to support the reasonableness and accuracy of such unit prices. Unit prices establish the complete and total sum to be paid for the unit price work, and such unit prices include any and all applicable overhead, profit, and mark-up of every kind and nature.

5.2 Payment Procedure

5.2.1 The Owner shall pay the Contract Price to the Contractor as provided in Section 5.2.

5.2.2 Progress Payments. Based upon the Contractor’s Applications for Payment submitted to the Architect and upon Certificates for Payment subsequently issued to the Owner by the Architect, the Owner shall make progress payments to the Contractor on account of the Contract Price.

5.2.2.1 On or before the 5th day of each month after commencement of the Work, the Contractor shall submit an Application for Payment for the period ending the 30th day of the preceding month to the Architect in such form and manner, and with such supporting data and content, as the Owner or the Architect may require.

5.2.2.2 Each Application for Payment may request payment for ninety-five percent (95%) of that portion of the Contract Price properly allocable in the Schedule of Values to Contract requirements properly performed and labor, materials, and equipment properly incorporated in the Work plus ninety-five percent (95%) of that portion of the Contract Price properly allocable in the Schedule of Values to materials or equipment properly stored on-site for subsequent incorporation in the Work, less the total amount of previous payments. Payment for stored materials and equipment shall be conditioned upon the Contractor’s proof satisfactory to the Owner, that the Owner has title to such materials and equipment, and shall include proof of required insurance.

5.2.2.3 Each Application for Payment shall be signed by the Contractor, which shall constitute the Contractor’s representation that the Work has progressed to the level for which payment is requested in accordance with the Schedule of Values, that the Work has been properly installed or performed in full accordance with this Contract, and that the Contractor knows of no reason why payment should not be made as requested.

5.2.2.4 The Architect will review the Application for Payment and may also review the Work at the Project site or elsewhere to determine whether the quantity and quality of the Work is as represented in the Application for Payment and is as required by this Contract.
