The Contract Documents consist of the Awarding Authority-Contractor Agreement, Advertisement, Instructions to Bidders, Bidding Documents, Contract Forms, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, Supplemental General Conditions (if any), Specifications, Drawings, all addenda issued prior to execution of the Contract, and 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 Prime Designer. The Contractor's bid and all related documents, and the Awarding Authority's solicitation, including any purchase descriptions, specifications, submission requirements, scope of work, drawings, and other related documents, are incorporated into and made part of this Contract. The Contract Documents form the entire and integrated agreement between the parties and supersede prior negotiations, representations, or agreements, either written or oral.

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 in writing and signed by the Awarding Authority, Prime Designer and General Contractor.

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 other 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 Awarding Authority or by separate contractors.

1.2 EXECUTION, CORRELATION, AND INTENT

1.2.1 Execution of the Contract by the Contractor is a representation that the Contractor has visited the site, become familiar with local conditions under which the Work is to be performed and correlated personal observations with requirements of the Contract Documents. Except as provided for in and required by M.G.L. c. 30, § 39N, no allowance will be made in the Contract or the Work under the Contract for failure of the Contractor to visit the site.

1.2.2 The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items necessary for the proper execution and completion of the Work by the Contractor. The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is required by one shall be as binding as if required by all. Performance by the Contractor shall be required to the extent consistent with the Contract Documents and reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce the intended results. In case of inconsistent requirements in the Contract Documents, the requirement for the greater quantity or higher quality shall take precedence and shall be the Contract requirement. In the event of any conflict between the Contract Documents and any applicable law or building code (including the Massachusetts State Building Code, 780 CMR), the applicable law or code shall prevail.

1.2.3. Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, words which have well known technical, or construction industry meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings except where the Contract Documents provide a different definition.

1.2.4. Where reference is made to standards or trade association publications, it shall be considered to refer to the latest edition and revision thereof, if any, in effect on the date the Contract Documents were advertised for bid.

1.2.5. All Work mentioned or indicated in the Contract Documents shall be performed by the Contractor as part of this Contract unless it is specifically indicated in the Contract Documents that such Work is to be done by others.

1.2.6. Organization of the Specifications into divisions, sections and articles, and arrangement of Drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade, except that the performance of filed sub-trade work shall comply with the provisions of chapter 149 of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (when applicable). The Contractor and all Subcontractors shall refer to all of the Drawings, including those showing primarily the Work of the mechanical, electrical and other specialized trades, and to all of the Sections of the Specifications, and shall perform all Work reasonably inferable therefrom as being necessary to produce the indicated results.

1.2.7. All indications or notations which apply to one of a number of similar situations, materials or processes shall be deemed to apply to all such situations, materials or processes wherever they appear in the Work, except where a contrary result is clearly indicated by the Contract Documents.

1.2.8. Where no explicit quality or standards for materials or workmanship are established for Work, such Work is to be of good quality for the intended use and consistent with the quality of the surrounding Work and of the construction of the Project generally.

1.2.9. All manufactured articles, materials, and equipment shall be applied, installed, connected, erected, used, cleaned, and conditioned in accordance with the manufacturer’s written or printed directions and instructions unless otherwise indicated in the Contract Documents.

1.2.10. The Mechanical, Electrical and Fire Protection Drawings are diagrammatic only, and are not intended to show the alignment, physical locations or configurations of such Work. Such Work shall be installed without additional cost to the Owner to clear all obstructions, permit proper

clearances for the Work of other trades, and present an orderly appearance where exposed. Prior to beginning such Work, the Contractor shall prepare coordination drawings showing the exact alignment, physical location and configuration of the Mechanical, Electrical and Fire Protection installations and demonstrating to the Contractor’s satisfaction that the installations will comply with the preceding sentence.

1.2.11. Exact locations of fixtures and outlets shall be obtained from the Prime Designer before the Work is roughed in; Work installed without such information from the Prime Designer shall be relocated at the Contractor’s expense.

1.2.12. Test boring or soil test information made available to the Contractor was obtained for use by the Prime Designer in the design of the Project. Such information is not represented as a complete or accurate indication of subsurface conditions, and the Contractor's rights with respect to actual conditions differing from those indicated are governed by Article 7.6 (Differing Site Conditions) and M.G.L. c.30 §39N.

1.2.13. Where the Work is to fit with existing conditions or work to be performed by others, the Contractor shall fully and completely join the Work with such conditions or work, unless otherwise specified.

The Awarding Authority provided drawings showing existing conditions or construction are based on available documents and are not guaranteed to show actual existing conditions.

1.2.14. 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.”

1.3 USE OF DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND OTHER DOCUMENTS

1.2.3 The Drawings, Specifications, and other documents prepared by the Prime Designer, including all copies, whether electronic or hard copy, furnished to the Contractor, are instruments of service.

They are and shall remain the property of the Awarding Authority (or the Prime Designer, as their interests appear under the agreement between the Awarding Authority and the Prime Designer), and are furnished to the Contractor for use solely with respect to this Project.

1.2.4 The Drawings, Specifications, and other documents shall not be used by the Contractor or any Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor, or material or equipment supplier on other projects, or for additions to this Project outside the scope of the Work, without the specific written consent of the Awarding Authority and the Prime Designer.
