After notice to proceed and prior to the commencement of construction, the contractor and COR must conduct joint inspections of the existing areas affected by the construction. Existing damage or defects will be noted and will be used as the basis for determination of damages caused by the contractor's operations.

4. The Contractors’ employees must not use the Cafeteria.

C. Inspection of site by contractor. - It is strongly urged that the contractor carefully examine the premises to determine the extent of work and the conditions under which it must be done.
