GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT

1. DEFINITIONS OF TERMS

1.01 OWNER, CONTRACTOR AND ENGINEER

The OWNER, the CONTRACTOR and the ENGINEER are those persons or organizations identified as such in the

Agreement and are referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in number and masculine in gender. The term ENGINEER means the ENGINEER or his duly authorized representative. The ENGINEER shall be understood to be the ENGINEER of the OWNER, and nothing contained in the Contract Documents shall create any contractual or agency relationship between the ENGINEER and the CONTRACTOR.

1.02 CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

The Contract Documents shall consist of the Notice to Bidders (Advertisement), Special Conditions (Instructions to

Bidders), Proposal, signed Agreement, Performance and Payment Bonds (when required), Special Bonds (when required), General Conditions of the Agreement, Special Conditions of the Contract, Technical Specifications, Construction Drawings, and all modifications thereof incorporated in any of the documents before the execution of the agreement.

The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is called for by any one shall be as binding as if called for by all. In case of conflict between any of the Contract Documents, priority of interpretation shall be in the following order: Signed Agreement, Performance and Payment Bonds, Special Bonds (if any), Proposal, Special

Conditions of the Contract, Notice to Bidders, Technical Specifications, Construction Drawings, and General

Conditions of Agreement.

1.03 SUB-CONTRACTOR

The term Sub-Contractor, as employed herein, includes only those having a direct contract with the CONTRACTOR and it includes one who furnishes material worked to a special design according to the construction drawings or specifications of this work, but does not include one who merely furnishes material not so worked.

1.04 WRITTEN NOTICE

Written notice shall be deemed to have been duly served if delivered in person to the individual or to a member of the firm or to an officer of the corporation for whom it is intended, or if delivered at or sent by registered mail to the last business address known to him who gives the notice.

1.05 WORK

The CONTRACTOR shall provide and pay for all materials, supplies, machinery, equipment, tools, superintendence, labor, services, insurance, and all water, light, power, fuel, transportation and other facilities necessary for the execution and completion of the work covered by the contract documents. Unless otherwise specified, all materials shall be new and both workmanship and materials shall be of a good quality. The CONTRACTOR shall, if required, furnish satisfactory evidence as to the kind and quality of materials. Materials or work described in words which so applied have a well known technical or trade meaning shall be held to refer to such recognized standards.

GC-4

1.06 EXTRA WORK

The term "Extra Work" as used in this contract shall be understood to mean and include all work that may be required by the ENGINEER or OWNER to be done by the CONTRACTOR to accomplish any change, alteration or addition to the work shown upon the construction drawings, or reasonably implied by the specifications, and not covered by the CONTRACTOR'S Proposal, except as provided under "Changes and Alterations", herein.

1.07 WORKING DAY

A "Working Day" is defined as any day not including Saturdays, Sundays or any legal holidays, in which weather or other conditions not under the control of the CONTRACTOR, will permit construction of the principal units of the work for a period of not less than seven (7) hours between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

1.08 CALENDAR DAY

"Calendar Day" is any day of the week or month, no days being excepted. No allowance will be made for inclement weather if the CONTRACTOR was able or would have been able to prosecute the principal units of work for a period of not less than seven (7) hours between 7:00 a. m. and 6:00 p. m.

1.09 SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED

By the term "substantially completed" is meant that the structure has been made suitable for use or occupancy or the facility is in condition to serve its intended purpose, but still may require minor miscellaneous work and adjustment.

2. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ENGINEER AND THE CONTRACTOR

2.01 OWNER-ENGINEER RELATIONSHIP

The ENGINEER will be the OWNER'S representative during construction. The duties, responsibilities and limitations of authority of the ENGINEER as the OWNER'S representative during construction are as set forth in the Contract

Documents and shall not be extended or limited without written consent of the OWNER and ENGINEER. The

ENGINEER will advise and consult with the OWNER, and all of OWNER'S instructions to the CONTRACTOR shall be issued through the ENGINEER.

2.02 OBSERVATION OF THE WORK

The ENGINEER shall make periodic visits to the site to familiarize himself generally with the progress of the executed work and to determine if such work generally meets the essential performance and design features and the technical and functional engineering requirements of the Contract Documents; provided and except, however, that the ENGINEER shall not be responsible for making any detailed, exhaustive, comprehensive or continuous on-site inspection of the quality or quantity of the work or be in any way responsible, directly or indirectly, for the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, quality, procedures, programs, safety precautions or lack of same incident thereto or in connection therewith. Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement or any other Contract Document, the ENGINEER shall not be in any way responsible or liable for any acts, errors, omissions or negligence of the CONTRACTOR, any subcontractor or any of the CONTRACTOR'S or subcontractor's agents, servants or employees or any other person, firm or corporation performing or attempting to perform any of the work.

GC-5

2.03 PAYMENTS FOR WORK

The ENGINEER shall review CONTRACTOR'S applications for payment and supporting data, determine the amount owed to the CONTRACTOR and approve, in writing, payment to CONTRACTOR in such amounts; such approval of payment to CONTRACTOR constitutes a representation to the OWNER of ENGINEER'S professional judgment that the work has progressed to the point indicated to the best of his knowledge, information and belief, but such approval of an application for payment to CONTRACTOR shall not be deemed as a representation by ENGINEER that ENGINEER has made any examination to determine how or for what purpose CONTRACTOR has used the moneys paid on account of the Contract price.

2.04 INITIAL DETERMINATIONS

The ENGINEER initially shall determine all claims, disputes and other matters in question between the

CONTRACTOR and the OWNER relating to the execution or progress of the work or the interpretation of the

Contract Documents and the ENGINEER'S decision shall be rendered in writing within a reasonable time. Should the ENGINEER fail to make such decision within a reasonable time, appeal to arbitration may be taken as if his decision had been rendered against the party appealing.

2.05 OBJECTIONS

In the event the ENGINEER renders any decision which, in the opinion of either party hereto, is not in accordance with the meaning and intent of this contract, either party may file with the ENGINEER within thirty days his written objection to the decision, and by such action may reserve the right to submit the question so raised to arbitration as hereinafter provided.

2.06 LINES & GRADES

Unless otherwise specified, the ENGINEER or his representative shall furnish all lines and grades. Whenever necessary, construction work shall be suspended to permit performance of this work, but such suspension will be as brief as practicable and the CONTRACTOR shall be allowed no extra compensation therefore. The CONTRACTOR shall give the ENGINEER ample notice of the time and place where lines and grades will be needed. All stakes, marks, etc. shall be carefully preserved by the CONTRACTOR, and in case of careless destruction or removal by him or his employees, such stakes, marks, etc. shall be replaced at the CONTRACTOR'S expense.

2.07 CONTRACTOR'S DUTY AND SUPERINTENDENCE

The CONTRACTOR shall give adequate attention to the faithful prosecution and completion of this contract and shall keep on the work, during its progress, a competent superintendent and any necessary assistants. The superintendent shall represent the CONTRACTOR in his absence and all directions given to him shall be as binding as if given to the CONTRACTOR.

The CONTRACTOR is and at all times shall remain an independent contractor, solely responsible for the manner and method of completing his work under this contract, with full power and authority to select the means, method and manner of performing such work, so long as such methods do not adversely affect the completed improvements, the OWNER and ENGINEER being interested only in the result obtained and conformity of such completed improvements to the construction drawings, specifications and contract.

Likewise, the CONTRACTOR shall be solely responsible for the safety of himself, his employees and other persons, as well as for the protection of the safety of the improvements being erected and the property of himself or any other person, as a result of his operations hereunder.
