About this file
This document is a template containing sample project clauses for federal construction contracts.
The clauses establish contractor obligations across four primary areas. Under Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work, the contractor must begin work within 10 calendar days of receiving the notice to proceed, prosecute work diligently, and complete all work within 450 calendar days, including final cleanup. The Physical Data clause clarifies that government-furnished site investigation data is provided for informational purposes only, with the contractor responsible for independent investigation of weather conditions, transportation access, and historical data. The Availability and Use of Utility Services clause obligates the government to provide reasonably required utilities from existing outlets at prevailing rates or government-determined reasonable rates, with the contractor responsible for installing, maintaining, and removing all temporary utility connections, distribution lines, and meters at its own expense. The Contract Drawings and Specifications clause requires the government to provide one set of contract documents in electronic or paper format without charge. The contractor must immediately check all drawings upon receipt, compare and verify figures before beginning work, promptly notify the Contracting Officer of discrepancies, and bears responsibility for errors that could have been prevented through compliance with verification requirements. Large-scale drawings govern small-scale drawings, and marked figures take precedence over scale measurements. The contractor must perform all work in conformance with specifications and contract drawings, including customarily performed details that may be omitted or misdescribed in the documentation.
