2.1.7        EVALUATION OF BUDGET AND COST OF THE WORK

2.1.7.1     When the Project requirements have been sufficiently identified, the
Architect shall prepare a preliminary estimate of the Cost of the Work.  This
estimate may be based on current area, volume or similar conceptual estimating
techniques.  As the design process progresses through the end of the preparation
of the Construction Documents, the Architect shall update and refine the
preliminary estimate of the Cost of the Work. The Architect shall advise the
Owner of any adjustments to previous estimates of the Cost of the Work indicated
by changes in Project requirements or general market conditions.  If at any time
the Architect’s estimate of the Cost of the Work exceeds the Owner’s budget, the
Architect shall make appropriate recommendations to the Owner to adjust the
Project’s size, quality or budget, and the Owner shall cooperate with the
Architect in making such adjustments.

 

2.1.7.2     Evaluations of the Owner’s budget for the Project, the preliminary
estimate of the Cost of the Work and updated estimates of the Cost of the Work
prepared by the Architect represent the Architect’s judgment as a design
professional familiar with the construction industry.  It is recognized,
however, that neither the Architect nor the Owner has control over the cost of
labor, materials or equipment, over the Contractor’s methods of determining bid
prices, or over competitive bidding, market or negotiating conditions. 
Accordingly, the Architect cannot and does not warrant or represent that bids or
negotiated prices will not vary from the Owner’s budget for the Project or from
any estimate of the Cost of the Work or evaluation prepared or agreed to by the
Architect.

 

2.1.7.3     In preparing estimates of the Cost of the Work, the Architect shall
be permitted to include contingencies for design, bidding and price escalation;
to determine what materials, equipment, component systems and types of
construction are to be included in the Contract Documents; to make reasonable
adjustments in the scope of the Project and to include in the Contract Documents
alternate bids as may be necessary to adjust the estimated Cost of the Work to
meet the Owner’s budget for the Cost of the Work.  If an increase in the
Contract Sum occurring after execution of the Contract between the Owner and the
Contractor causes the budget for the Cost of the Work to be exceeded, that
budget shall be increased accordingly.

 

2.1.7.4     If bidding or negotiation has not commenced within 90 days after the
Architect submits the Construction Documents to the Owner, the budget for the
Cost of the Work shall be adjusted to reflect changes in the general level of
prices in the construction industry.

 

2.1.7.5     If the budget for the Cost of the Work is exceeded by the lowest
bona fide bid or negotiated proposal, the Owner shall:

.1                                       give written approval of an increase in
the budget for the Cost of the Work;

Architect, without additional compensation, shall modify the documents for which
the Architect is responsible under this Agreement as necessary to comply with
the budget for the Cost of the Work.  The modification of such documents shall
be the limit of the Architect’s responsibility under this Paragraph 2.1.7.  The
Architect shall be entitled to compensation in accordance with this Agreement
for all services performed whether or not construction is commenced.

2.6.2.4     Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or when direct
communications have been specially authorized, the Owner shall endeavor to
communicate with the Contractor through the Architect about matters arising out
of or relating to the Contract Documents. Communications by and with the
Architect’s consultants shall be through the Architect.

 

2.6.2.5     The Architect shall have authority to reject Work that does not
conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever the Architect considers it necessary
or advisable, the Architect will have authority to require inspection or testing
of the Work in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents, whether
or not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither this
authority of the Architect nor a decision made in good faith either to exercise
or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of
the Architect to the Contractor, Subcontractors, material and equipment
suppliers, their agents or employees or other persons or entities performing
portions of the Work.

 

2.6.3        CERTIFICATION OF PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR

2.6.3.1     The Architect shall review and certify the amounts due the
Contractor and shall issue Certificates for Payment in such amounts. The
Architect’s certification for payment shall constitute a representation to the
Owner, based on the Architect’s evaluation of the Work as provided in Paragraph
2.6.2 and on the data comprising the Contractor’s Application for Payment, that
the Work has progressed to the point indicated and that, to the best of the
Architect’s knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the Work is in
accordance with the Contract Documents. The foregoing representations are
subject (1) to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract
Documents upon Substantial Completion, (2) to results of subsequent tests and
inspections, (3) to correction of minor deviations from the Contract Documents
prior to completion, and (4) to specific qualifications expressed by the
Architect.

 

2.6.3.2     The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a
representation that the Architect has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on-site
inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed
copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and material suppliers and
other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor’s right to

 

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

payment, or (4) ascertained how or for what purpose the Contractor has used
money previously paid on account of the Contract Sum.

 

2.6.3.3     The Architect shall maintain a record of the Contractor’s
Applications for Payment.

 

2.6.4        SUBMITTALS

2.6.4.1     The Architect shall review and approve or take other appropriate
action upon the Contractor’s submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and
Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with
information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents.
The Architect’s action shall be taken with such reasonable promptness as to
cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of the Owner, Contractor or
separate contractors, while allowing sufficient time in the Architect’s
professional judgment to permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is
not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of
other details such as dimensions and quantities, or for substantiating
instructions for installation or performance of equipment or systems, all of
which remain the responsibility of the Contractor as required by the Contract
Documents. The Architect’s review shall not constitute approval of safety
precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated by the Architect, of any
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The
Architect’s approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an
assembly of which the item is a component.

 

2.6.4.2     The Architect shall maintain a record of submittals and copies of
submittals supplied by the Contractor in accordance with the requirements of the
Contract Documents.

 

2.6.4.3     If professional design services or certifications by a design
professional related to systems, materials or equipment are specifically
required of the Contractor by the Contract Documents, the Architect shall
specify appropriate performance and design criteria that such services must
satisfy. Shop Drawings and other submittals related to the Work designed or
certified by the design professional retained by the Contractor shall bear such
professional’s written approval when submitted to the Architect. The Architect
shall be entitled to rely upon the adequacy, accuracy and completeness of the
services, certifications or approvals performed by such design professionals.

 

2.6.5        CHANGES IN THE WORK

2.6.5.1     The Architect shall prepare Change Orders and Construction Change
Directives for the Owner’s approval and execution in accordance with the
Contract Documents. The Architect, after obtaining the Owner’s approval, may
authorize minor changes in the Work not involving an adjustment in Contract Sum
or an extension of the Contract Time which are consistent with the intent of the
Contract Documents. If necessary, the Architect shall prepare, reproduce and
distribute Drawings and Specifications to describe Work to be added, deleted or
modified, as provided in Paragraph 2.8.2.

 

2.6.5.2     The Architect shall review properly prepared, timely requests by the
Owner or Contractor for changes in the Work, including adjustments to the
Contract Sum or Contract Time. A properly prepared request for a change in the
Work shall be accompanied by sufficient supporting data and information to
permit the Architect to make a reasonable determination without extensive
investigation or preparation of additional drawings or specifications. If the
Architect determines that requested changes in the Work are not materially
different from the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Architect may
issue an order for a minor change in the Work or recommend to the Owner that the
requested change be denied.

 

2.6.5.3     If the Architect determines that implementation of the requested
changes would result in a material change to the Contract that may cause an
adjustment in the Contract Time

 

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

or Contract Sum, the Architect shall make a recommendation to the Owner, who may
authorize further investigation of such change. Upon such authorization, and
based upon information furnished by the Contractor, if any, the Architect shall
estimate the additional cost and time that might result from such change,
including any additional costs attributable to a Change in Services of the
Architect. With the Owner’s approval, the Architect shall incorporate those
estimates into a Change Order or other appropriate documentation for the Owner’s
execution or negotiation with the Contractor.

 

2.6.5.4     The Architect shall maintain records relative to changes in the
Work.

 

2.6.6        PROJECT COMPLETION

2.6.6.1     The Architect shall conduct inspections to determine the date or
dates of Substantial Completion and the date of final completion, shall receive
from the Contractor and forward to the Owner, for the Owner’s review and
records, written warranties and related documents required by the Contractor
Documents and assembled by the Contractor, and shall issue a final Certificate
for Payment based upon a final inspection indicating the Work complies with the
requirements of the Contract Documents.

 

2.6.6.2     The Architect’s inspection shall be conducted with the Owner’s
Designated Representative to check conformance of the Work with the requirements
of the Contract Documents and to verify the accuracy and completeness of the
list submitted by the Contractor of Work to be completed or corrected.

 

2.6.6.3     When the Work is found to be substantially complete, the Architect
shall inform the Owner about the balance of the Contract Sum remaining to be
paid the Contractor, including any amounts needed to pay for final completion or
correction of the Work.

 

2.6.6.4     The Architect shall receive from the Contractor and forward to the
Owner:  (1) consent of surety or sureties, if any, to reduction in or partial
release of retainage or the making of final payment and (2) affidavits,
receipts, releases and waivers of liens or bonds indemnifying the Owner against
liens.

 

ARTICLE 2.7         FACILITY OPERATION SERVICES

2.7.1        The Architect shall meet with the Owner or the Owner’s Designated
Representative promptly after Substantial Completion to review the need for
facility operation services.

 

2.7.2        Upon request of the Owner, and prior to the expiration of one year
from the date of Substantial Completion, the Architect shall conduct a meeting
with the Owner and the Owner’s Designated Representative to review the facility
operations and performance and to make appropriate recommendations to the Owner.

 

ARTICLE 2.8         SCHEDULE OF SERVICES

2.8.1        Design and Contract Administration Services beyond the following
limits shall be provided by the Architect as a Change in Services in accordance

ARTICLE 2.9         MODIFICATIONS

2.9.1        Modifications to this Standard Form of Architect’s Services: 
Design and Contract Administration, if any, are as follows:

 

ARTICLE 3.0         OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

3.1           These Standard Terms and Conditions are attached to and part of
the Agreement between Wheeling Island Gaming, Inc. (the Owner) and Jeter, Cook &
Jepson Architects, Inc. (the Architect) dated 14 March 2002.  These Standard
Terms and Conditions shall modify and supersede any and all provisions and terms
of the Agreement only to the extent that any such provisions or terms are
inconsistent.

 

3.2           The Architect’s services under this Agreement shall be performed
in an orderly succession as described above.  The Architect shall submit
statements monthly for time and expenses expended in the course of its work on
the Project during the previous month.  The Architect reserves the right to stop
all work and that of its consultants if any payment of fees and expenses is
thirty (30) days past due, which is sixty (60) days after the date of invoice.

 

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

3.3           When the Architect completes the Design Services, the Architect
shall not proceed with Contract Administration Services without written approval
by the Owner and payment in full of all fees and expenses then due.

 

3.4           The Architect shall, at the written request of the Owner, engage
consultants in addition to those listed above, and the services rendered by such
consultants shall be considered a Change in Services and shall be paid for by
the Owner as prescribed in Article 1.5.

 

3.5           The Owner and Architect acknowledge that the Construction
Documents prepared by the Architect will generally describe the intended scope
of work for the Project, and that the Contractor (engaged by the Owner to
construct the Project) shall be required to provide only those services that are
expressly required by the Contract Documents or are reasonably inferable from
such documents as being necessary to produce the intended results. 
Consequently, the need may arise during the course of construction to adjust the
Contract for Construction to reflect the cost of items that are not consistent
with or reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents.  In accordance with
subparagraph 1.2.2.2 and paragraph 2.1.7, the Owner shall maintain a reasonable
amount of contingency monies to pay for change orders to the Contract for
Construction and other contingencies which impact the Project cost including,
without limitation, such items as changes to the program or scope of the
Project, items of additional value that are not included in or may not be
reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents, and adjustments to allowance
cost items carried in the Project budget or the Contractor’s bid amount.  If any
required item or component of the Project is omitted from the Construction
Documents, the Architect shall not be responsible for the cost of adding such
item or component to the extent that such item or component would have been
otherwise necessary to the Project or adds betterment or value to the Project. 
In no event will the Architect be responsible for any cost or expense that
provides betterment, upgrade or enhancement to the Project.

 

3.6           The following is added to subparagraph 1.2.3.6: “The Architect
will use professional efforts to identify laws, rules, and regulations which
apply to the Project, to interpret the same in a reasonable manner, to seek the
advice of governmental officials and/or the Owner’s legal counsel when questions
of interpretation and/or applicability arise, and to produce reports, plans, and
or other documents which are consistent therewith.  Having done so in accordance
with normal standards of good professional practice, the Architect will have met
its obligations hereunder, and will not be responsible for contrary
interpretations or determination by enforcement authorities or others.”

 

3.7           The Owner acknowledges and agrees, and the Architect warrants and
represents, that the Architect maintains professional liability insurance in the
amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) on a per project basis, and that
the Architect’s liability for damages or loss of any kind and for any reason,
including, without limitation, negligence and breach of contract, shall not
exceed the greater of the Architect’s total compensation for the Project
(excluding reimbursements), or Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), and the
Owner expressly and irrevocably waives its rights to seek damages from the
Architect in excess of such amount.

 

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

3.8           It is intended by the parties to this Agreement that the
Architect’s services in connection with the project shall not subject the
Architect’s individual employees, officers, or directors to any personal legal
exposure for the risks associated with this Project.  Therefore, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Owner agrees that
as the Owner’s sole and exclusive remedy, any claim, demand or suit shall be
directed and/or asserted only against the Architect, a Connecticut corporation,
and not against any of the Architect’s employees, officers or directors.

 

3.9           The Owner agrees to extend any and all liability limitations and
indemnifications provided by the Owner to the Architect to those individuals and
entities the Architect retains for performance of the services under this
Agreement, including but not limited to the Architect’s officers and employees
and their heirs and assigns, as well as the Architect’s consultants and their
officers, employees, heirs and assigns.

 

3.10         All duties and obligations undertaken by the parties pursuant to
this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Owner and the
Architect, and no third party is intended, nor shall be deemed, an express or
implied beneficiary of this Agreement.

 

3.11         No claim or action of any kind, regardless of form, may be brought
against the Architect beyond the first to occur of (a) one year from the date
that the Owner discovered or should have discovered the grounds for any such
claim or action or (b) four years after the date of Substantial Completion of
the Project.

 

3.12         Services to be provided under this Agreement shall include services
rendered in connection with the building shell and all interior construction
elements of a “built-in” nature.  Any and all services relating to furnishings,
fixtures and loose equipment (FF&E) provided by the Architect shall be
considered as a Change in Services and shall be paid for by the Owner as
prescribed in Article 1.5.

 

3.13         The following is added to the end of paragraph 2.8.1: “The limits
set forth above in subparagraphs 2.8.1.1 through 2.8.1.4 represent the aggregate
totals in each category to be provided by the Architect and the Architect’s
consultants.”

 

3.14         If the Architect or any of the Architect’s consultants are
requested to perform services, that otherwise would not be required by the terms
of this Agreement, then the Architect, if it shall elect to provide such
services, shall, upon prior authorization from the Owner, proceed to provide
such services.  Such services shall be considered a Change in Services and shall
be paid for by the Owner as prescribed in Article 1.5.

 

3.15         The Architect agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to
indemnify and hold the Owner harmless from any damage, liability or cost
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense) to the extent caused
by the Architect’s negligent acts, errors or omissions in the performance of
professional services under this Agreement and those of the Architect’s
consultants or anyone for whom the Architect is legally liable and arising from
the Project that is the subject of this Agreement.  The Owner agrees, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold the Architect harmless
from any damage, liability, or cost (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs of defense) to the extent caused by the Owner’s negligent acts, errors or
omissions and those for whom the Owner is legally liable, and arising from the
Project that is the subject of this Agreement.  The Architect is not obligated
to indemnify the Owner in any manner whatsoever for the

 

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Owner’s own negligence, nor is the Owner obligated to indemnify the Architect in
any manner whatsoever for the Architect’s own negligence.

 

3.16         (Not used)

 

3.17         Other than actions or damages arising from the gross negligence or
willfull misconduct of Architect, in no event shall the Architect, nor any of
its consultants, agents or employees be liable to the Owner or to anyone claming
through the Owner for any punitive, consequential or exemplary damages arising
out of or in connection with the performance of Architect’s services under this
Agreement, even if one or both of the parties have been advised that such
damages may occur.

 

3.18         The Owner agrees that the Architect will include the following
clause in the construction documents: “The Architect’s comments made on the shop
drawings, samples and/or other submittal data (hereinafter referred to as shop
drawings) during reviews do not relieve the Contractor from compliance with
requirements of the drawings and specifications and other Contract Documents. 
Comments made which are construed by the Contractor as altering the contract sum
must be reported to the Architect and Owner immediately. No work action may be
taken until resolution and written consent of Owner.  Any work not shown on shop
drawings which is shown in the Contract Documents remains part of the project
requirements.  Comments made by the Architect upon the shop drawings do not
constitute authorship on the part of the Architect.  The Architect is not
responsible for completeness of the shop drawings nor as such shall the shop
drawings supersede the requirements of the Contract Documents. The Architect’s
review is for determining general design conformance with the information given
in the Contract Documents. The Contractor is responsible for: determining
quantities; confirming and correlating dimensions; selecting fabrication
processes and techniques of construction; coordination of all of the work;
overseeing safety; and executing the work in a satisfactory manner.

 

3.19         The Owner agrees that the Architect will include a requirement in
the Construction Documents that the Contractor will review any requests for
information (RFIs) submitted by subcontractors prior to submission to the
Architect to ensure such RFIs are not already clearly and unambiguously answered
in the Contract Documents. It will also be required in the construction
documents that the Architect shall be paid be the Contractor for the Architect’s
time and expenses in reviewing RFIs which are already clearly answered or
inferable from the Contract Documents in accordance with the Architect’s
standard rates. The mechanism for such payments by the Contractor to the
Architect will be through the Owner. In the event of a disagreement over such
compensation, the judgment of the Owner’s representative shall prevail.

 

3.20         The Owner may elect to engage the services of third party to act as
“Owner Representative” or “Clerk of the Works” during the Construction of the
Project. In that event, such engagement shall not replace or otherwise usurp the
Owner entity designated in subparagraph 1.1.3.1 and the Owner and the Architect
agree that appropriate protocol for communication shall be established so as to
avoid conflict with subparagraph 2.6.2.4 of this Agreement or any provision of
the Contract Documents.

 

3.21         Engineering services as described elsewhere in this Agreement as
being the

 

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

responsibility of the Architect shall be included as Basic Services. The
Architect shall provide such Engineering services, which the Architect agrees
shall be performed by a Registered Engineer licensed to practice in the State of
West Virginia.  Such Engineering services shall be consistent with the scope
described in Articles 2.1 through 2.9 of this Agreement.

 

3.22         With respect to products, materials or processes containing
hazardous materials such as (without limitation) asbestos, asbestos products,
polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), or other toxic substances, the Owner hereby
agrees that no claim or other action may be brought against the Architect, its
principals, employees, agents or consultants if such claim or action is based
on, relates to, or otherwise arises out of the Architect’s performance of or
failure to perform services in connection with the investigation, detection,
abatement, replacement or removal of such hazardous materials or processes
unless it arises out of the gross negligence, intentional tort, or willful
misconduct of Architect.  The Owner further agrees to indemnify and to hold the
Architect and its principals, employees, agents and consultants harmless from
and against any and all manner of actions, suits, claims, liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including attorney’s fees) to
which the Architect may be subject as a result of, in connection with or arising
out of any such claim or action brought by any third party.

 

3.23         The Owner understands and agrees that products or building
materials which are permissible under current building codes, practices and
ordinances may, at some future date, be banned or limited in use in the
construction industry because of presently unknown hazardous or defective
characteristics.  The Architect shall use professional efforts, during the term
of this Agreement, to inform the Owner of any product or material specified for
this project which the Architect becomes aware is a known or suspected health or
safety hazard, or is otherwise defective (“Potentially Hazardous Products”). 
The Owner agrees that if the Owner directs the Architect to specify any product
or material, after the Architect has informed the Owner that such product or
material may not be suitable or may embody characteristics that are suspected of
causing or may cause the product or material to be considered a hazardous or
defective substance in the future, the Owner waives all claims as a result
thereof against the Architect.  The Owner further agrees that if any product or
material specified for this Project by the Architect shall, at any future date,
after Architect has used its professional efforts to identify such Potentially
Hazardous Products, be suspected or discovered to be a health or safety hazard,
or otherwise defective, then the Owner shall waive all claims as a result
thereof against the Architect.  In addition, the Owner agrees, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold the Architect harmless from any
damage, liability or cost (including reasonable attorney’s fees and defense
costs) arising in any way from the specification or use of any products or
materials which, at any future date, after Architect has used its professional
efforts to identify such Potentially Hazardous Products, become known or
suspected health or safety hazards, or defective, whether unknown to the
Architect during the term of this Agreement or of which the Architect has warned
the Owner, excepting only those damages, liabilities or cost attributable to the
gross negligence, intentional tort or willful misconduct of the Architect.

 

3.24         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraphs 1.3.4 or
1.3.5, any mediation or arbitration proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement shall be held at a site manually agreeable to the parties to this
Agreement, and failing such Agreement, at a site

 

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

chosen by the Mediator or

Arbitrator, as the case may be.

 

3.25         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraph 1.2.2 if the
Owner is either a general or limited partnership, all of the Owner’s general
partners shall be deemed a party to this Agreement, and any or all of such
general partners may be named parties to any mediation or arbitration held
pursuant to this Agreement.

 

3.26         Upon the Architect’s request, the Owner shall provide proof of its
authorization to enter into this Agreement and proof of the authority of the
undersigned to execute this Agreement on behalf of the Owner, all in a form
satisfactory to the Architect.  Upon the Owner’s request, the Architect shall
provide proof of its authorization to enter into this Agreement and proof of the
authority of the undersigned to execute this Agreement on behalf of the
Architect, all in a form satisfactory to the Owner.

 

3.27         Services provided by the Architect under this Agreement will be
performed in a manner consistent with that degree of care and skill ordinarily
exercised by members of the same profession currently practicing under similar
circumstances.

 

3.28         The Architect is not responsible for delays caused by factors
beyond the Architect’s reasonable control, including but not limited to delays
because of strikes, lockouts, work slowdowns or stoppages, accidents, acts of
God, failure of any governmental or other regulatory authority to act in a
timely manner, failure of the Owner to furnish timely information or approve or
disapprove of the Architect’s services or work product promptly, or delays
caused by faulty performance by the Owner or by contractors of any level. When
such delays beyond the Architect’s reasonable control occur, the Owner agrees
the Architect is not responsible for damages other than those attributable to
the gross negligence, intentional tort, or willful misconduct of Architect, nor
shall the Architect be deemed to be in default of this Agreement.

 

3.29         In consideration of the benefits to the Owner of employing the fast
track process (in which some of the Architect’s design services overlap the
construction work and are out of sequence with the traditional project delivery
method), and in recognition of the inherent risks of fast tracking to the
Architect, the Owner agrees to compensate the Architect for all Changes in
Services required to modify, correct, or adjust the Construction Documents and
coordinate them in order to meet the Owner’s program requirements resulting from
the Owner’s to construct decision, the Project in a fast track manner.

 

3.30         Neither the professional activities of the Architect, nor the
presence of the Architect or the Architect’s employees and consultants at a
construction site, shall relieve the General Contractor or Construction Manager
and any other entity of their obligations, duties and responsibilities
including, but not limited to construction means, methods, sequence, techniques
or coordinating all portions of the Work of construction in accordance with the
contract documents and any health or safety precautions required by any
regulatory agencies. The Architect and the Architect’s personnel have no
authority to exercise any control over any construction contractor or other
entity or their employees in connection with their work or any health or safety
precautions. The Owner agrees that the General Contractor or Construction
Manager is solely responsible for jobsite safety, and

 

30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

warrants that this intent shall be made evident in the Owner’s agreement with
the General Contractor, or Construction Manager.  The Owner also agrees that the
Owner, the Architect and the Architect’s consultants shall be made additional
insureds under the General Contractor’s or Construction Manager’s general
liability insurance policy.

 

3.31         The Architect shall assist the Owner in applying for those permits
and approvals typically required by law for projects similar to the one for
which the Architect’s services are being engaged.  This assistance consists of
completing and submitting forms as to the results of certain work included in
the scope of services.  This assistance does not include, however, special
studies, special research, attendance at meetings with public authorities for
more than the $12,000.00 allowance stipulated in the attached exhibit entitled:
“Wheeling Downs Racetrack & Gaming Center, Phase II A/E Design Cost Schedule”
dated 6 March 2002, special testing or special documentation not normally
required for this type of project.  The Architect will provide such special
services as a Change in Service to be authorized by the Owner.

3.34         (Not used)

 

3.35         In the event the Owner consents to, allows, authorizes or approves
of changes to any plans, specifications or other construction documents, and
these changes are not approved in writing by the Architect, the Owner recognizes
that such changes and the results thereof are not the responsibility of the
Architect.  Therefore, the Owner agrees to release the Architect from any
liability arising from the construction, use or result of such changes. In
addition, the Owner agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify
and hold the Architect harmless from any damage, liability or cost (including
reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of defense) arising from such changes,
except only those damages, liabilities and costs arising from the gross
negligence, intentional tort or willful misconduct of the Architect.

 

3.36         If the Owner retains the services of a Value Engineer (VE) to
review the Construction Documents prepared for this project by the Architect, it
shall be at the Owner’s sole expense and shall be performed in a timely manner
so as not to delay the orderly progress of the Architect’s services. All
recommendations of the VE shall be given to the Architect for review, and
adequate time will be provided for the Architect to respond to these
recommendations. The architect shall be compensated as a Change in Service, as
provided for herein, for all time spent to review the recommendations of the VE
and to incorporate those accepted by both the Owner and the Architect.  If the
Architect objects to any recommendations made by the VE, the Architect shall so
state in writing to the Owner, along with the Architect’s reasons for its
objection.  If the Owner insists on incorporating in the Construction Documents
any changes to which the Architect has objected in writing, the Owner agrees to
the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold the Architect
harmless from any damage, liability or cost (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and costs of defense) which arise in connection with or as a result of the
incorporation of such design changes insisted upon by the Owner.

 

31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

3.37         In accepting and utilizing any drawings or other data on any form
of electronic media generated and provided by the Architect, the Owner covenants
and agrees that all such drawings and data are instruments of service of the
Architect, who shall be deemed the author of the drawings and data, and shall
retain all common law, statutory law and other rights, including copyrights. 
The electronic files submitted by the Architect to the Owner are submitted for
an acceptance period of seven (7) days.  Any defects the Owner discovers during
this period will be reported to the Architect and will be corrected as part of
the Architect’s Basic Scope of Services.  Correction of defects detected and
reported after the acceptance period will be compensated for as Additional
Services.

 

The Owner further agrees not to use these drawings and data, in whole or in
part, for any purpose or project other than the Project which it is the subject
of this Agreement, except as permitted under Section 1.3.2.5 hereof.  The Owner
agrees to waive all claims against the Architect resulting in any way from any
unauthorized changes or reuse of the drawings and data for this Project or any
other project by anyone other than the Architect.

 

In addition, the Owner agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to
indemnify and hold the Architect harmless from any damage, liability or cost,
including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of defense, arising from any
changes made by anyone other than the Architect or from any reuse of the
drawings and data without the prior written consent of the Architect.

 

Under no circumstances shall transfer of the drawings and other instruments of
service on electronic media for use by the Owner be deemed a sale by the
Architect, and the Architect makes no warrants, either express or implied of
merchantability and fitness for any particular purpose.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Owner may request
and Architect shall provide, the Instruments of Service in electronic media form
(AutoCAD 2000), and unless otherwise agreed upon in writing between Owner and
Architect, any Instruments of Service in electronic media form shall be subject
to paragraph 1.3.2.5 et seq. of this Agreement.

 

3.38         The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provides that it is a
violation of the ADA to design and construct a facility for first occupancy
later than January 26, 1993, that does not meet the accessibility and usability
requirements.  The Owner acknowledges that the requirements of the ADA will be
the subject to various and possibly contradictory interpretations.

 

ADA also requires the removal of architectural barriers in existing facilities
where such removal is readily achievable.  The Owner acknowledges that the
definition of “readily achievable” contained in the ADA is flexible and subject
to interpretation on a case-by-case basis.

 

Further, ADA provides that alterations to a facility must be made in such a
manner that, to the maximum extent feasible, the altered portions of the
facility are readily accessible to and by individuals with disabilities.  The
Owner acknowledges that the requirements of the ADA will be subject to various
and possibly contradictory interpretations.

 

32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The Architect, therefore, will use reasonable professional efforts to interpret
applicable ADA requirements and other federal, state and local laws, rules,
codes, ordinances and regulations as they apply to the project.  The Architect,
however, cannot and does not warrant or guarantee that the Owner’s project will
comply with interpretations of the ADA requirements and/or the requirements of
other federal, state and local laws, rules, codes, ordinances and regulations as
they apply to the Project.

 

It is recognized that the Owner faces certain obligations under the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) that could affect the design of this Project.  It is
further recognized that the ADA is federal civil rights legislation that is not
part of, or known to be compatible with, state or local law, codes, and
regulations governing construction.  Consequently, the Architect will be unable
to make recommendations or professional determinations that will ensure
compliance with the ADA or guarantee that all design decisions will conform to
the ADA standard of “reasonable accommodation.”  The Architect strongly advises
the Owner to obtain appropriate legal counsel with respect to compliance with
the ADA.

 

The Architect will endeavor to design for accessibility by the disabled in
conformance with any applicable provisions in or references by applicable state
or local building codes.  The Architect further agrees to include in the design
such provisions for the disabled as the Owner may request in response to the
ADA, provided such requests are timely made, technically achievable, and in
conformance with all other pertinent codes and regulations.

 

3.39         (Not used)

 

3.40         If the Architect for any reason does not complete all the services
contemplated by this Agreement, the Architect shall not be responsible for the
accuracy, completeness or workability of the Contract Documents prepared by the
Architect changed or completed by the Owner or by another party.  Accordingly,
the Owner agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold
the Architect harmless from any claim, liability or cost (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and defense costs) for injury or loss arising or allegedly
arising from such completion or any unauthorized changes made by any party to
any contract documents prepared by the Architect.

 

3.41         Both parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement has been
freely negotiated by both parties, and that, in any dispute over the meaning,
interpretation, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of its terms
or conditions, there shall be no presumption whatsoever against either party by
virtue of that party having drafted this Agreement or any portion thereof.

ARTICLE 1

 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

1.1

 

BASIC DEFINITIONS

 

1.1.1

 

THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

The Contract Documents consist of the Agreement between Owner and Contractor
(hereinafter the Agreement), Conditions of the Contract (General, Supplementary
and other Conditions), Drawings, Specifications, Addenda issued prior to
execution of the Contract, 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 Architect. Unless specifically enumerated in the
Agreement, the Contract Documents do not include other documents such as bidding
requirements (advertisement or invitation to bid, Instructions to Ridders,
sample forms, the Contractor's bid or portions of Addenda relating to bidding
requirements.) In the event of any conflict among the Contract Document, the
Documents shall be constructed according to the following priorities:

Highest Priority                  Modifications

Second Priority                   Owner/Contractor Agreement

Third Priority                      Addenda [later date to take

                                                Precedence]

Fourth Priority                    General Requirement

Fifth Priority                        Supplementary General Conditions of

                                                the Contract for Construction

Sixth Priority                       General Conditions of the Contract for

                                                Construction Drawings

Seventh Priority                  Drawings

Eighth Priority                    Specifications

 

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

 

43

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

modified only by a Modification.  The Contract Documents shall not be construed
to create a contractual relationship of any kind (1) between the Architect and
Contractor, (2) between the Owner and a Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor, (3)
between the Owner and Architect or (4) between any persons or entities other
than the Owner and Contractor. The Architect shall, however, be entitled to
performance and enforcement of obligations under the Contract intended to
facilitate performance of the Architect’s duties.

 

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 Owner or by separate contractors.

 

1.1.5        THE DRAWINGS

The Drawings are the graphic and pictorial portions of the Contract Documents
showing the design, location and dimensions of the Work, generally including
plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules and diagrams.

 

1.1.6        THE SPECIFICATIONS

The Specifications are that portion of the Contract Documents consisting of the
written requirements for materials, equipment, systems, standards and
workmanship for the Work, and performance of related services.

 

1.1.7        THE PROJECT MANUAL

The Project Manual is a volume assembled for the Work which may include the
bidding requirements, sample forms, Conditions of the Contract and
Specifications.

 

1.2           CORRELATION AND INTENT OF THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

1.2.1        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 only to the extent consistent with the Contract Documents and
reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce the indicated
results.

 

1.2.2        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. The Contractor and all Subcontractors shall refer to
all 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.

 

1.2.3        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.

 

44

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

1.3           CAPITALIZATION

1.3.1        Terms capitalized in these General Conditions include those which
are (1) specifically defined, (2) the titles of numbered articles and identified
references to Paragraphs, Subparagraphs and Clauses in the document or (3) the
titles of other documents published by the American Institute of Architects.

 

1.4           INTERPRETATION

1.4.1        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.

 

1.5           EXECUTION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

1.5.1        The Contract Documents shall be signed by the Owner and Contractor.
If either the Owner or Contractor or both do not sign all the Contract
Documents, the Architect shall identify such unsigned Documents upon request.

 

1.5.2        Execution of the Contract by the Contractor is a representation
that the Contractor has visited the site, become generally familiar with local
conditions under which the Work is to be performed and correlated personal
observations with requirements of the Contract Documents.

 

1.6           OWNERSHIP AND USE OF DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS AND OTHER
INSTRUMENTS OF SERVICE

1.6.1        The Drawings, Specifications and other documents, including those
in electronic form, prepared by the Architect  and the Architect’s consultants
are Instruments of Service through which the Work to be executed by the
Contractor is described. The Contractor may retain one record set from the
commencement of construction to the completion of the Project, and for such
period of time thereafter, to and including the date of the expiration of any
and all warranty periods for any warranties pertaining to the Work. Neither the
Contractor nor any Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor or material or equipment
supplier shall own or claim a copyright in the Drawings, Specifications and
other documents prepared by the Architect or the Architect’s consultants, and
unless otherwise indicated the Architect and the Architect’s consultants shall
be deemed the authors of them and will retain all common law, statutory and
other reserved rights, in addition to the copyrights. All copies of Instruments
of Service, except the Contractor’s record set, shall be returned or suitably
accounted for to the Architect, on request, upon completion of the Work. The
Drawings, Specifications and other documents prepared by the Architect and the
Architect’s consultants, and copies thereof furnished to the Contractor, are for
use solely with respect to this Project. They are not to 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 Owner, Architect and the
Architect’s consultants. The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors and
material or equipment suppliers are authorized to use and reproduce applicable
portions of the Drawings. Specifications and other documents prepared by the
Architect and the Architect’s consultants appropriate to and for use in the
execution of their Work under the Contract Documents. All copies made under this
authorization shall bear the statutory copyright notice, if any, shown on the
Drawings, Specifications and other documents prepared by the Architect and the
Architect’s consultants. Submittal or distribution to meet official regulatory
requirements or for other purposes in connection with this Project is not to be
construed as publication in derogation of the Architect’s or Architect’s
consultants' copyrights or other reserved rights.

 

45

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ARTICLE 2 OWNER

2.1           GENERAL

2.1.1        The Owner is the person or entity identified as such in the
Agreement and is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in
number. The Owner shall designate in writing a representative who shall have
express authority to bind the Owner with respect to all matters requiring the
Owner’s approval or authorization. Except as otherwise provided in Subparagraph
4.2.1, the Architect does not have such authority. The term “Owner” means the
Owner or the Owner’s authorized representative.

 

2.1.2        The Owner shall furnish to the Contractor within fifteen days after
receipt of a written request, information necessary and relevant for the
Contractor to evaluate, give notice of or enforce mechanic’s lien rights. Such
information shall include a correct statement of the record legal title to the
property on which the Project is located, usually referred to as the site, and
the Owner’s interest therein.

 

2.2           INFORMATION AND SERVICES REQUIRED OF THE OWNER

2.2.1        The Owner shall, at the written request of the Contractor, prior to
commencement of the Work and thereafter, furnish to the Contractor reasonable
evidence that financial arrangements have been made to fulfill the Owner’s
obligations under the Contract. Furnishing of such evidence shall be a condition
precedent to commencement or continuation of the Work. After such evidence has
been furnished, the Owner shall not materially vary such financial arrangements
without prior notice to the Contractor.

 

2.2.2        Except for permits and fees, including those required under
Subparagraph 3.7.1, which are the responsibility of the Contractor under the
Contract Documents, the Owner shall secure and pay for necessary approvals,
easements, assessments and charges required for construction, use or occupancy
of permanent structures or for permanent changes in existing facilities.

 

2.2.3        The Owner shall furnish surveys describing physical
characteristics, legal limitations and utility locations for the site of the
Project, and a legal description of the site. The Contractor shall be entitled
to rely on the accuracy of information furnished by the Owner but shall exercise
proper precautions relating to the safe performance of the Work.

 

2.2.4        Information or services required of the Owner by the Contract
Documents shall be furnished by the Owner with reasonable promptness. Any other
information or services relevant to the Contractor’s performance of the Work
under the Owner’s control shall be furnished by the Owner after receipt from the
Contractor of a written request for such information or services.

 

2.2.5        Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor
will be furnished, free of charge, such copies of Drawings and Project Manuals
as are reasonably necessary for execution of the Work.

 

2.3           OWNER’S RIGHT TO STOP THE WORK

2.3.1        If the Contractor fails to correct Work which is not in accordance
with the requirements of the Contract Documents as required by Paragraph 12.2 or
persistently fails to carry out Work in accordance with the Contract Documents,
the Owner may issue a written order to the Contractor to stop the Work, or any
portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however,
the right of the Owner to stop the Work shall not give rise to a duty on the
part of the Owner to exercise this right for the benefit of the Contractor or
any other person or entity, except to the extent required by Subparagraph 6.1.3.

 

2.4           OWNER’S RIGHT TO CARRY OUT THE WORK

 

46

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

2.4.1        If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents and fails within a seven day period after
receipt of written notice from the Owner to commence and continue correction of
such default or neglect with diligence and promptness, the Owner may after such
seven day period give the Contractor a second written notice to correct such
deficiencies within a three day period. If the Contractor within such three day
period after receipt of such second notice fails to commence and continue to
correct any deficiencies, the Owner may without prejudice to other remedies the
Owner may have, correct such deficiencies. If the Contractor defaults or
neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents and
fails within a seven-day period after receipt of written notice from the Owner
to begin and prosecute correction of such default or neglect with diligence and
promptness the Owner may without prejudice to other remedies the Owner may have,
correct such deficiencies. In such case an appropriate Change Order shall be
issued deducting from payments then or thereafter due the Contractor the
reasonable cost of correcting such deficiencies, including Owner’s expenses and
compensation for the Architect’s additional services made necessary by such
default, neglect or failure. Such action by the Owner and amounts charged to the
Contractor are both subject to prior approval of the Architect. If payments then
or thereafter due the Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amounts, the
Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.

 

ARTICLE 3

 

CONTRACTOR

 

3.1

 

GENERAL

 

3.1.1

 

The Contractor is the person or entity identified as such in the Agreement and
is referred to throughout the Contract

Documents as if singular in number. The term “Contractor” means the Contractor
or the Contractor’s authorized representative.

 

3.1.2        The Contractor shall perform the Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents.

 

3.1.3        The Contractor shall not be relieved of obligations to perform the
Work in accordance with the Contract Documents either by activities or duties of
the Architect in the Architect’s administration of the Contract, or by tests,
inspections or approvals required or performed by persons other than the
Contractor.

 

3.2           REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND FIELD CONDITIONS BY CONTRACTOR

 

3.2.1        Since the Contract Documents are complementary, before starting
each portion of the Work. Before starting the Work, and at frequent Intervals
during the progress thereof the Contractor shall carefully study and compare the
various Drawings and other Contract Documents relative to that portion of the
Work, as well as the information with each other and with the information
furnished by the Owner pursuant to Subparagraph 2.2.3, and shall at once report
to the Architect and Owner any error, inconsistency or omission the Contractor
may discover. Any necessary change shall be ordered as provided in Article 7
subject to the requirement of Paragraph 1.2 and other provisions of the Contract
Documents. If the Contractor proceeds with the Work without such notice to the
Architect having discovered and having thereby obtained actual knowledge of such
errors, inconsistencies or omissions, the Contractor shall bear all the costs
arising therefrom, take

 

47

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

field measurement of any existing conditions related to that portion of the Work
and shall observe any conditions at the site affecting it. These obligations are
for the purpose of facilitating construction by the Contractor and are not for
the purpose of discovering errors, omissions, or inconsistencies in the Contract
Documents; however, any errors, inconsistencies or omissions discovered by the
Contractor shall be reported promptly to the Architect as a request for
information in such form as the Architect may require.

 

3.2.2        Any design errors or omissions noted by the Contractor during this
review shall be reported promptly to the Architect, but it is recognized that
the Contractor’s review is made in the Contractor’s capacity as a contractor and
not as a licensed design professional unless otherwise specifically provided in
the Contract Documents. The Contractor is not required to ascertain that the
Contract Documents are in accordance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances,
building codes, and rules and regulations, but any nonconformity discovered by
or made known to the Contractor shall be reported promptly to the Architect.

 

3.2.3        If the Contractor believes that additional cost or time is involved
because of clarifications or instructions issued by the Architect in response to
the Contractor’s notices or requests for information pursuant to Subparagraphs
3.2.1 and 3.2.2, the Contractor shall make Claims as provided in Subparagraphs
4.3.6 and 4.3.7. If the Contractor fails to perform the obligations of
Subparagraphs 3.2.1 and 3.2.2, the Contractor shall pay such costs and damages
to the Owner as would have been avoided if the Contractor had performed such
obligations. The Contractor shall not be liable to the Owner or Architect for
damages resulting from errors, inconsistencies or omissions in the Contract
Documents or for differences between field measurements or conditions and the
Contract Documents unless the Contractor recognized such error, inconsistency,
omission or difference and knowingly failed to report it to the Architect.

 

3.2.4       The Contractor shall not proceed with any Work that Contractor knows
is not clearly and consistently defined in detail in the Contract Documents, but
shall request additional drawings or instructions from the Architect as provided
in Subparagraph 3.2.3. If the Contractor proceeds with Work that Contractor
knows is not clearly and consistently defined in detail in the Contract
Documents without obtaining further Drawings, Specifications or instructions,
the Contractor shall correct Work incorrectly done at the Contractor’s own
expense.

 

3.3           SUPERVISION AND CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES

3.3.1        The Contractor shall supervise and direct the Work, using the
Contractor’s best skill and attention. The Contractor shall be solely
responsible for and have control over construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences and procedures and for coordinating all portions of the Work under the
Contract, unless the Contract Documents give other specific instructions
concerning these matters. If the Contract Documents give specific instructions
concerning construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, the
Contractor shall evaluate the jobsite safety thereof and, except as stated
below, shall be fully and solely responsible for the jobsite safety of such
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. If the Contractor
determines that such means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures may not
be safe, the Contractor shall give timely written notice to the Owner and
Architect and shall not proceed with that portion of the Work without further
written instructions from the Architect. If the Contractor is then instructed to
proceed with required means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures
without acceptance of changes proposed by the Contractor, the Owner shall be
solely responsible for any resulting loss or damage.

 

48

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

3.3.2        The Contractor shall be responsible to the Owner for acts and
omissions of the Contractor’s employees, Subcontractors and their agents and
employees, and other persons or entities performing portions of the Work for or
on behalf of the Contractor or any of its Subcontractors.

 

3.3.3        The Contractor shall be responsible for inspection of portions of
Work already performed to determine that such portions are in proper condition
to receive subsequent Work.

 

3.4           LABOR AND MATERIALS

3.4.1        Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor
shall provide and pay for labor, materials, equipment, tools, construction
equipment and machinery, water, heat, utilities, transportation, and other
facilities and services necessary for proper execution and completion of the
Work, whether temporary or permanent and whether or not incorporated or to be
incorporated in the Work.

 

3.4.2        The Contractor may make substitutions only with the consent of the
Owner, after evaluation by the Architect and in accordance with a Change Order.

 

3.4.3        The Contractor shall enforce strict discipline and good order among
the Contractor’s employees and other persons carrying out the Contract. The
Contractor shall not permit employment of unfit persons or persons not skilled
in tasks assigned to them.

 

3.5           WARRANTY

3.5.1        The Contractor warrants to that the Owner and Architect that
materials and equipment furnished under the Contract will be of good quality and
new and of recent manufacture unless otherwise specified required or permitted
by the Contract Documents, that the Work will be free from defects not inherent
in the quality required or permitted, and that the all Work will conform to the
requirements of the Contract Documents, be of good quality, free from faults and
defects and in conformance with Contract documents. Work not conforming to these
requirements, including substitutions not properly approved and authorized, may
be considered defective. The Contractor’s warranty excludes remedy for damage or
defect caused by abuse, modifications not executed by the Contractor, improper
or insufficient maintenance, improper operation, or normal wear and tear and
normal usage. If required by the Architect the Contractor shall furnish
satisfactory evidence as to the kind and quality of materials and equipment.

 

3.5.2  The Contractor shall be responsible for determining that all materials
furnished for the Work meet all requirements of the Contract Documents. The
Architect may require the Contractor to produce reasonable evidence that a
material meets such requirements such as certified reports of past tests by
qualified testing laboratories reports of studies by qualified experts, or other
evidence which, in the opinion of the Architect, would lead to a reasonable
certainty that all material used or proposed to be used in the Work meets the
requirements of the Contract Documents. All such data shall be furnished at the
Contractor’s expense.  This provision shall not require the contractor to pay
for periodic testing

 

49

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

of different batches of the same material unless such testing is specifically
required by the Contract Documents to be performed at the Contractor’s expenses.

 

3.5.3  In all cases in which a manufacturer’s name, trade name, or other
proprietary designation is used in connection with materials or articles to be
furnished under this Contract, whether or not the phrase “or equal” is used
after such name, the Contractor shall furnish the product of the named
manufacturer(s) without substitution unless a written request for a substitute
has been submitted by the Contractor and approved in writing by the Architect as
provided in Subparagraph 3.5.4.

 

3.5.4  If the Contractor proposes to use a material which while suitable for the
intended use deviates in any way from the detailed requirements of the Contract
Documents the Contractor shall inform the Architect in writing of the nature of
such deviations at the time the material is submitted for approval and shall
request written approval of the deviation from the requirements of the Contract
Documents.

 

3.5.5.  In requesting approval of deviations or substitutions the Contractor
shall provide upon request evidence leading to a reasonable certainty that the
proposed substitution or deviation will provide a quality of result at least
equal to that otherwise attainable.  If in the opinion of the Architect, the
evidence presented by the Contractor does not provide a sufficient basis for
such reasonable certainty the Architect may reject such substitutions or
deviations without further investigation.

 

3.5.6  The Architect shall judge the design and the Owner shall judge the
appearance of proposed substitutes on the basis of their suitability in relation
to the overall Project, as well as for their intrinsic merits,  in order to
permit coordinated design of color and finish texture or pattern which would
have been available from the manufacturer originally specified, at no additional
cost to the Owner.  Neither the Architect nor the Owner will approve as equal to
materials specified, proposed substitutes which in the Owner’s opinion, would be
out of character, obtrusive or otherwise inconsistent with the character or
quality of the Project, or in which, in the Architect’s opinion, would not be
appropriate to the design of the Project.

 

50

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

3.5.7       Any additional cost, or any loss or damage arising form the
substitution of any material or any method for those originally specified shall
be borne by the Contractor notwithstanding approval or acceptance of such
substitution by the Owner or the Architect, unless such substitution was made at
the written request or direction of the Owner or the Architect.

 

3.5.8       The warranty provided in this Paragraph 3.5 shall be in addition to
and not in limitation of any other warranty required by the Contract Documents
or otherwise prescribed or permitted by law.

 

3.5.9       The Contractor shall procure and deliver to the Architect, no later
than the date claimed by the Contractor as the date of Substantial Completion,

communications shall be similarly confirmed on written request in each case.

 

3.9.2       The Contractor shall be totally responsible for and shall coordinate
and supervise the Work performed by Subcontractors to the end that the Work is
carried out without conflict between trades and so that no trade at any time

which constitute the practice of architecture or engineering unless such
services are specifically required by the Contract Documents for a portion of
the Work or unless the Contractor needs to provide such services in order to
carry out the Contractor’s responsibilities for construction means, methods,
techniques, sequences and procedures. The Contractor shall not be required to
provide professional services in violation of applicable law.  If professional
design services or certifications by a design professional related to systems,
materials or equipment are specifically

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

required of the Contractor by the Contract Documents, the Owner and the
Architect will specify all performance and design criteria that such services
must satisfy.  The Contractor shall cause such services or certifications to be
provided by a properly licensed design professional, whose signature and seal
shall appear on all drawings, calculations, specifications, certifications, Shop
Drawings and other submittals prepared by such professional.  Shop Drawings and
other submittals related to the Work designed or certified by such professional,
if prepared by others, shall bear such professional’s written approval when
submitted to the Architect.  The Owner and the Architect shall be entitled to
rely upon the adequacy, accuracy and completeness of the services,
certifications or approvals performed by such design professionals, provided the
Owner and Architect have specified to the Contractor all performance and design
criteria that such services must satisfy.  Pursuant to this Subparagraph
3.12.10, the Architect will review, approve or take other appropriate action on
submittals only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with

by the Owner or Architect. However, if the Contractor has reason to believe that
the required design, process or product is an infringement of a copyright or a
patent, the Contractor shall be responsible for such loss unless such
information is promptly furnished to the Architect.

4.2.1        The Architect will provide administration of the Contract as
described in the Contract Documents, and will be an Owner’s representative (1)
during construction, (2) until final payment is due and (3) with the Owner’s
concurrence, from time to time during the one-year period for correction of Work
described in Paragraph 12.2. The Architect will have authority to act on behalf
of the Owner only to the extent provided in the Contract Documents, unless
otherwise modified in writing in accordance with other provisions of the
Contract.

 

4.2.2        The Architect, as a representative of the Owner, will visit the
site at intervals appropriate to the stage of the Contactor’s operations (1) to
become generally familiar with and to keep the Owner informed about the progress
and quality of the portion of the Work completed, (2) to endeavor to guard the
Owner against defects and deficiencies in the Work, and (3) to determine in
general if the Work is being performed in a manner indicating that the Work,
when fully completed, will be in accordance with the Contract Documents.
However, the Architect will not be required to make exhaustive or continuous
on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work. The Architect
will neither have control over or charge of, nor be responsible for, the
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for the
safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work, since these are
solely the Contractor’s rights and responsibilities under the Contract
Documents, except as provided in Subparagraph 3.3.1.

 

4.2.3        The Architect will not be responsible for the Contractor’s failure
to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract

conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever the Architect considers it necessary
or advisable, the Architect will have authority to require inspection or testing
of the Work in accordance with Subparagraphs 13.5.2 and 13.5.3, whether or not
such Work is fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither this authority
of the Architect nor a decision made in good faith either to exercise or not to
exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the

Architect to the Contractor, Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers,
their agents or employees, or other persons or entities performing portions of
the Work.

 

4.2.7        The Architect will review and approve or take other appropriate
action upon the Contractor’s submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and
Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with
information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. 
The Architect’s action will be taken with such reasonable promptness as to cause
no delay in the Work or in the activities of the Owner, Contractor or separate
contractors, while allowing sufficient time in the Architect’s professional
judgment to permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is not conducted
for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details
such as dimensions and quantities, or for substantiating instructions for
installation or performance of equipment of systems, all of which remain the
responsibility of the Contractor as required by the Contract Documents.  The
Architect’s review of the Contractor’s submittals shall not relieve the
Contractor of the obligations under Paragraphs 3.3, 3.5 and 3.12.  The
Architect’s review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or,
unless otherwise specifically stated by the Architect, of any construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures.  The Architect’s approval
of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item
is a component.

 

4.2.8        The Architect will prepare Change Orders and Construction Change
Directives, and may authorize minor changes in the Work as provided in Paragraph
7.4.

 

4.2.9        The Architect will conduct inspections to determine the date or
dates of Substantial Completion and the date of final completion, will receive
and forward to the Owner, for the Owner’s review and records, written warranties
and related documents required by the Contract and assembled by the Contractor,
and will issue a final Certificate for Payment upon compliance with the
requirements of the Contract Documents.

 

4.2.10      If the Owner and Architect agree, the Architect will provide one or
more project representatives to assist in carrying out the Architect’s
responsibilities at the site.  The duties, responsibilities and limitations of
authority of such project representatives shall be as set forth in an exhibit to
be incorporated in the Contract Documents.

 

4.2.11      The Architect will interpret and decide matters concerning
performance under and requirements of, the Contract Documents on written request
of either the Owner or Contractor.  The Architect’s response to such requests
will be made in writing within any time limits agreed upon or otherwise with
reasonable promptness.  If no agreement is made concerning the time within which
interpretations required of the Architect shall be furnished in compliance with
this Paragraph 4.2, then delay shall not be recognized on account of failure by
the Architect to furnish such interpretations until 15 days after written
request is made for them.

 

4.2.12      Interpretations and decisions of the Architect will be consistent
with the intent of and reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents and will

seeking, as a matter of right, adjustment or interpretation of Contract terms,
payment of money, extension of time or other relief with respect to the terms of
the Contract.  The term “Claim” also includes

 

58

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

other disputes and matters in question between the Owner and Contractor arising
out of or relating to the Contract.  Claims must be initiated by written
notice.  The responsibility to substantiate Claims shall rest with the party
making the Claim.

 

4.3.2        Time Limits on Claims.  Claims by either party must be initiated
within 21 days after occurrence of the event giving rise to such Claim or within
21 days after the claimant first recognizes the condition giving rise to the
Claim, whichever is later.  Claims must be initiated by written notice to the
Architect and the other party.

 

4.3.3        Continuing Contract Performance. Pending final resolution of a
Claim except as otherwise agreed in writing or as provided in Subparagraph 9.7.1
and Article 14, the Contractor shall proceed diligently with performance of the
Contract and the Owner shall continue to make payments in accordance with the
Contract Documents.

 

4.3.4        Claims for Concealed or Unknown Conditions. If conditions are
encountered at the site which are (1) substance or otherwise concealed physical
conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract
Documents or (2) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, which differ
materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as
inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the
Contract Documents, then notice by the observing party shall be given to the
other party promptly before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than
21 days after first observance of the conditions. The Architect will promptly
investigate such conditions and, if they differ materially and cause an increase
or decrease in the Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of
any part of the Work, will recommend an equitable adjustment in the Contract Sum
or Contract Time, or both. If the Architect determines that the conditions at
the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract
Documents and that no change in the terms of the Contract is justified, the
Architect shall so notify the Owner and Contractor in writing, stating the
reasons. Claims by either party in opposition to such determination must be made
within 21 days after the Architect has given notice of the decision. If the
conditions encountered are materially different, the Contract Sum and Contract
Time shall be equitably adjusted, but if the Owner and Contractor cannot agree
on an adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, the adjustment shall be
referred to the Architect for initial determination, subject to further
proceedings pursuant to Paragraph 4.4.

 

4.3.5        Claims for Additional Cost. If the Contractor wishes to make Claim
for an increase in the Contract Sum, written notice as provided herein shall be
given before proceeding to execute the Work. Prior notice is not required for
Claims relating to an emergency endangering life or property arising under
Paragraph 10.6.

 

4.3.6        If the Contractor believes additional cost is involved for reasons
including but not limited to (1) a written interpretation from the Architect,
(2) an order by the Owner to stop the Work where the Contractor was not at
fault, (3) a written order for a minor change in the Work issued by the
Architect, (4) failure of payment by the Owner, (5) termination of the Contract
by the Owner, (6) Owner’s suspension or (7) other reasonable grounds, Claim
shall be filed in accordance with this Paragraph 4.3.

 

4.3.7        Claims for Additional Time

4.3.7.1     If the Contractor wishes to make Claim for an increase in the
Contract Time, written notice as provided herein shall be given. The
Contractor’s Claim shall include an estimate of cost and of probable effect of
delay on progress of the Work. In the case of a continuing delay only one Claim
is necessary.

 

4.3.7.2     If adverse weather conditions are the basis for a Claim for
additional time, such Claim shall be documented by data substantiating that
weather conditions were abnormal for the

 

59

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

period of time, could not have been reasonably anticipated and had an adverse
effect on the scheduled construction.

 

4.3.8        Injury or Damage to Person or Property.  If either party to the
Contract suffers injury or damage to person or property because of an act or
omission of the other party, or of others for whose acts such party is legally
responsible, written notice of such injury or damage, whether or not insured,
shall be given to the other party within a reasonable time not exceeding 21 days
after discovery.   The notice shall provide sufficient detail to enable the
other party to investigate the matter.

 

4.3.9        If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently
agreed upon, and if quantities originally contemplated are materially changed in
a proposed Change Order or Construction Change Directive so that application of
such unit prices to quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity
to the Owner or Contractor, the applicable unit prices shall be equitably
adjusted.

 

4.3.10      Claims for Consequential Damages.  The making of final payment by
the Owner after its acceptance of the Work shall constitute waiver of all Claims
by the Contractor and Owner except those arising from liens, claims, security
interests or encumbrances arising out of the Contract and unsettled; failure of
the Work to comply with the requirement of the Contract Documents; or the terms
of special warranties required by the Contract Documents.  The Contractor and
Owner waive Claims against each other for consequential damages arising out of
or relating to this Contract.  This mutual waiver includes:

.1             damage incurred by the Owner for rental expenses, for losses of
use, income, profit, financing, business and reputation, and for loss of
management or employee productivity or of the services of such persons; and

.2             damages incurred by the Contractor for principal office expenses
including the compensation of personnel stationed there, for losses of
financing, business and reputation and for loss of profit except anticipated
profit arising directly from the Work.

 

This mutual waiver is applicable, without limitation, to all consequential
damages due to either party’s termination in accordance with Article 14. 
Nothing contained in this Subparagraph 4.3.10 shall be deemed to preclude an
award of liquidated direct damages, when applicable, in accordance with the
requirements of the Contract Documents.

 

4.4           RESOLUTION OF CLAIMS AND DISPUTES

4.4.1        Decision of Architect.  Claims, including those alleging an error
or omission by the Architect but excluding those arising under Paragraphs 10.3
through 10.5, shall be referred initially to the Architect for decision.  An
initial decision by the Architect shall be required as a condition precedent to
mediation, arbitration or litigation of all Claims between the Contractor and
Owner arising prior to the date final payment is due, unless 30 days have passed
after the Claim has been referred to the Architect with no decision having been
rendered by the Architect.  The Architect will not decide disputes between the
Contractor and persons or entities other than the Owner.

 

4.4.2        The Architect will review Claims and within ten days of the receipt
of the Claim take one or more of the following actions:  (1) request additional
supporting data from the claimant or a response with supporting data from the
other party, (2) reject the Claim in whole or in part, (3) approve the Claim,
(4) suggest a compromise, or (5) advise the parties that the Architect is unable
to resolve the Claim if the Architect lacks sufficient information to evaluate

 

60

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the merits of the Claim or if the Architect concludes that, in the Architect’s
sole discretion, it would be inappropriate for the Architect to resolve the
Claim.

 

4.4.3        In evaluating Claims, the Architect may, but shall not be obligated
to, consult with or seek information from either party or from persons with
special knowledge or expertise who may assist the Architect in rendering a
decision.  The Architect may request the Owner to authorize retention of such
persons at the Owner’s expense.

 

4.4.4        If the Architect requests a party to provide a response to a Claim
or to furnish additional supporting data, such party shall respond, within ten
days after receipt of such request, and shall either provide a response on the
requested supporting data, advise the Architect when the response or supporting
data will be furnished or advise the Architect that no supporting data will be
furnished.  Upon receipt of the response or supporting data, if any, the
Architect will either reject or approve the Claim in whole or in part.

 

4.4.5        The Architect will approve or reject Claims by written decision,
which shall state the reasons therefor and which shall notify the parties of any
change in the Contract Sum or Contract Time or both.  The approval or rejection
of a Claim by the Architect shall be final and binding on the parties but
subject to mediation and arbitration.

 

4.4.6        When a written decision of the Architect states that (1) the
decision is final but subject to mediation and arbitration and (2) a demand for
arbitration of a Claim covered by such decision must be made within 30 days
after the date on which the party making the demand receives the final written
decision, then failure to demand arbitration within said 30 days’ period shall
result in the Architect’s decision becoming final and binding upon the Owner and
Contractor.  If the Architect renders a decision after arbitration proceedings
have been initiated, such decision may be entered as evidence, but shall not
supersede arbitration proceedings unless the decision is acceptable to all
parties concerned.

 

4.4.7        Upon receipt of a Claim against the Contactor or at any time
thereafter, the Architect or the Owner may, but is not obligated to, notify the
surety, if any, of the nature and amount of the Claim.  If the Claim relates to
a possibility of a Contractor’s default, the Architect or the Owner may, but is
not obligated to, notify the surety and request the surety’s assistance in
resolving the controversy.

 

4.4.8        If a Claim relates to or is the subject of a mechanic’s lien, the
party asserting such Claim may proceed in accordance with applicable law to
comply with the lien notice or filing deadlines prior to resolution of the Claim
by the Architect, by mediation or by arbitration.

 

4.5           MEDIATION

4.5.1        Any Claim arising out of or related to the Contract, except Claims
relating to aesthetic effect and except those waived as provided for in
Subparagraphs 4.3.10, 9.10.4 and 9.10.5 shall, after initial decision by the
Architect or 30 days after submission of the Claim to the Architect, be subject
to mediation as a condition precedent to arbitration or the institution of legal
or equitable proceedings by either party.

 

4.5.2        The parties shall endeavor to resolve their Claims by mediation
which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be in accordance with
the Construction Industry Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration
Association currently in effect.  Request for mediation shall be filed in
writing with the other party to the Contract and with the American Arbitration
Association.  The request may be made concurrently with the filing of a demand
for arbitration but, in such event, mediation shall proceed in advance of
arbitration or legal or equitable proceedings, which shall be stayed pending
mediation for a period of 60 days from the date of filing, unless stayed for a
longer period by agreement of the parties or court order.

 

61

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

4.5.3        The parties shall share the mediator’s fee and any filing fees
equally.  The mediation shall be held in the place where the Project is located,
unless another location is mutually agreed upon.   Agreements reached in
mediation shall be enforceable as settlement agreements in any court having
jurisdiction thereof.

 

4.6           ARBITRATION

4.6.1        Any Claim arising out of or related to the Contract, except Claims
relating to aesthetic effect and except those waived as provided for in
Subparagraphs 4.3.10, 9.10.4 and 9.10.5, shall, after decision by the Architect
or 30 days after submission of the Claim to the Architect, be subject to
arbitration.  Prior to arbitration, the parties shall endeavor to resolve
disputes by mediation in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4.5.

 

4.6.2        Claims not resolved by mediation shall be decided by arbitration
which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be in accordance with
the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association currently in effect.  The demand for arbitration shall be filed in
writing with the other party to the Contract and with the American Arbitration
Association, and a copy shall be filed with the Architect.

 

4.6.3        A demand for arbitration shall be made within the time limits
specified in Subparagraphs 4.4.6 and 4.6.1 as applicable, and in other cases
within a reasonable time after the Claim has arisen, and in no event shall it be
made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on
such Claim would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations as
determined pursuant to Paragraph 13.7.

 

4.6.4        Limitation on Consolidation or Joinder.  No arbitration arising out
of or relating to the Contract shall include, by consolidation or joinder or in
any other manner, the Architect, the Architect’s employees or consultants,
except by written consent containing specific reference in the Agreement and
signed by the Architect, Owner, Contractor and any other person or entity sought
to be joined.  No arbitration shall include, by consolidation or joinder or in
any other manner, parties other than the Owner, Contractor, a separate
contractor as described in Article 6 and other persons substantially involved in
a common question of fact or law whose presence is required if complete relief
is to be accorded in arbitration.  No person or entity other than the Owner,
Contractor or a separate contractor as described in Article 6 shall be included
as an original third party or additional third party to an arbitration whose
interest or responsibility is insubstantial.  Consent to arbitration involving
an additional person or entity shall not constitute consent to arbitration of a
Claim not described therein or with a person or entity not named or described
therein.  The foregoing agreement to arbitrate and other agreements to arbitrate
with an additional person or entity duly consented to by parties to the
Agreement shall be specifically enforceable under applicable law in any court
having jurisdiction thereof.

 

4.6.5        Claims and Timely Assertion of Claims.  The party filing a notice
of demand for arbitration must assert in the demand all Claims then known to
that party on which arbitration is permitted to be demanded.

 

4.6.6        Judgment on Final Award.  The award rendered by the arbitrator or
arbitrators shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance
with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

ARTICLE 5 SUBCONTRACTORS

5.1           DEFINITIONS

5.1.1        A Subcontractor is a person or entity who has a direct contract
with the Contractor to perform a portion of the Work at the site.  The term
“Subcontractor” is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular
in number and means a Subcontractor or an authorized

 

62

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

representative of the Subcontractor.  The term “Subcontractor” does not include
a separate contractor or subcontractors of a separate contractor.

 

5.1.2        A Sub-subcontractor is a person or entity who has a direct or
indirect contract with a Subcontractor to perform a portion of the Work at the
site. The term “Sub-subcontractor” is referred to throughout the Contract
Documents as if singular in number and means a Sub-subcontractor or an
authorized representative of the Sub-subcontractor.

 

5.2           AWARD OF SUBCONTRACTS AND OTHER CONTRACTS FOR PORTIONS OF THE WORK

5.2.1        Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents or the bidding
requirements, the Contractor, as soon as practicable after award of the
Contract, shall furnish in writing to the Owner through the Architect the names
of persons or entities (including those who are to furnish materials or
equipment fabricated to a special design) proposed for each principal portion of
the Work.  The Architect will promptly reply to the Contractor in writing
stating whether or not the Owner or the Architect, after due investigation, has
reasonable objection to any such proposed person or entity.  Failure of the
Owner or Architect to reply promptly shall constitute notice of no reasonable
objection.

 

5.2.2        The Contractor shall not contract with a proposed person or entity
to whom the Owner or Architect has made reasonable and timely objection.  The
Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Contractor
has made reasonable objection.

 

5.2.3        If the Owner or Architect has reasonable objection to a person or
entity proposed by the Contractor, the Contractor shall propose another to whom
the Owner or Architect has no reasonable objection.  If the proposed but
rejected Subcontractor was reasonably capable of performing the Work, the
Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be increased or decreased by the
difference, if any, occasioned by such change, and an appropriate Change Order
shall be issued before commencement of the substitute Subcontractor’s Work. 
However, no increase in the Contract Sum or Contract Time shall be allowed for
such change unless the Contractor has acted promptly and responsively in
submitting names as required.

 

5.2.4        The Contractor shall not change a Subcontractor, person or entity
previously selected if the Owner or Architect makes reasonable objection to such
substitute.

 

5.2.5       If requested by the Owner the form of each subcontract shall be
submitted to the Owner for its approval, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.  Each subcontract shall expressly provide for the
contingent assignment referred to in Subparagraph 5.4.1.

 

5.3           SUBCONTRACTUAL RELATIONS

5.3.1        By appropriate agreement, written where legally required for
validity, the Contractor shall require each Subcontractor, to the extent of the
Work to be performed by the Subcontractor, to be bound to the Contractor by
terms of the Contract Documents, and to assume toward the Contractor all the
obligations and responsibilities, including the responsibility for safety of the
Subcontractor’s Work, which the Contractor, by these Documents, assumes toward
the Owner and Architect.  Each subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect
the rights of the Owner and Architect under the Contract Documents with respect
to the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor so that subcontracting thereof
will not prejudice such rights, and shall allow to the Subcontractor, unless
specifically provided otherwise in the subcontract agreement, the benefit of all
rights, remedies and redress against the Contractor that the Contractor, by the
Contract Documents, has against the Owner.  Where

 

63

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

appropriate, the Contractor shall require each Subcontractor to enter into
similar agreements with Sub-subcontractors. The Contractor shall make available
to each proposed Subcontractor, prior to the execution of the subcontract
agreement, copies of the Contract Documents to which the Subcontractor will be
bound, and, upon written request of the Subcontractor, identify to the
Subcontractor terms and conditions of the proposed subcontract agreement which
may be at variance with the Contract Documents. Subcontractors will similarly
make copies of applicable portions of such documents available to their
respective proposed Sub-subcontractors.

 

5.4           CONTINGENT ASSIGNMENT OF SUBCONTRACTS

5.4.1        Each subcontract agreement for a portion of the Work is assigned by
the Contractor to the Owner provided that:

.1

 

assignment is effective only after termination of the Contract by the Owner for
cause pursuant to Paragraph 14.2 and only for those subcontract agreements which
the Owner accepts by notifying the Subcontractor and Contractor in writing; and

.2

 

assignment is subject to the prior rights of the surety, if any, obligated under
bond relating to the Contract.

 

5.4.2        Upon such assignment, if the Work has been suspended for more than
30 days, the Subcontractor’s compensation shall be equitably adjusted for
increases in cost resulting from the suspension.

 

ARTICLE 6

 

CONSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR BY SEPARATE CONTRACTORS

 

6.1

 

OWNER’S RIGHT TO PERFORM CONSTRUCTION AND TO AWARD SEPARATE CONTRACTS

 

6.1.1

 

The Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operations related to
the Project with the Owner’s own

forces, and to award separate contracts in connection with other portions of the
Project or other construction or operations on the site under Conditions of the
Contract identical or substantially similar to these including those portions
related to insurance and waiver of subrogation. If the Contractor claims that
delay or additional cost is involved because of such action by the Owner, the
Contractor shall make such Claim as provided in Paragraph 4.3.

 

6.1.2        When separate contracts are awarded for different portions of the
Project or other construction or operations on the site, the term “Contractor”
in the Contract Documents in each case shall mean the Contractor who executes
each separate Owner-Contractor Agreement.

 

6.1.3        The Owner shall provide for coordination of the activities of the
Owner’s own forces and of each separate contractor with the Work of the
Contractor, who shall cooperate with them. The Contractor shall participate with
other separate contractors and the Owner in reviewing their construction
schedules when directed to do so.  The Contractor shall make any revisions to
the construction schedule deemed necessary after a joint review and mutual
agreement. The construction schedules shall then constitute the schedules to be
used by the Contractor, separate contractors and the Other until subsequently
revised.

 

6.1.4        Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, when the Owner
performs construction or operations related to the Project with the Owner’s own
forces, the Owner shall be deemed to be subject to the same obligations and to
have the same rights which apply to the Contractor under the Conditions of the
Contract, including, without excluding others, those stated in Article 3, this
Article 6 and Articles 10, 11 and 12.

 

6.2           MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY

 

64

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

6.2.1        The Contractor shall afford the Owner and separate contractors
reasonable opportunity for introduction and storage of their materials and
equipment and performance of their activities, and shall connect and coordinate
the Contractor’s construction and operations with theirs as required by the
Contract Documents.

 

6.2.2        If part of the Contractor’s Work depends for proper execution or
results upon construction or operations by the Owner or a separate contractor,
the Contractor shall, prior to proceeding with that portion of the Work,
promptly report to the Architect apparent discrepancies or defects in such other
construction that would render it unsuitable for such proper execution and
results. Failure of the Contractor so to report shall constitute an
acknowledgment that the Owner’s or separate contractor’s completed or partially
completed construction is fit and proper to receive the Contractor’s Work,
except as to defects not then reasonably discoverable.

 

6.2.3        The Owner shall be reimbursed by the Contractor for costs incurred
by the Owner which are payable to a separate contractor because of delays,
improperly timed activities or defective construction of the Contractor. The
Owner shall be responsible to the Contractor for costs incurred by the
Contractor because of delays, improperly timed activities, damage to the Work or
defective construction of a separate contractor.

 

6.2.4        The Contractor shall promptly remedy damage wrongfully caused by
the Contractor to completed or partially completed construction or to property
of the Owner or separate contractors as provided in Subparagraph 10.2.5.  If
such separate contractor sues or initiates mediation or an arbitration
proceeding against the Owner on account of any damage alleged to have been
caused by the Contractor, the Owner shall notify the Contractor who shall defend
such proceedings at the Owner’s expense and if any judgement or award against
the Owner arises as a result of, but only to the extent of, Contractor’s fault,
the Contractor shall pay or satisfy it and shall reimburse the Owner for all
attorney’s fees, mediation fees and costs, court fees and costs, and arbitration
fees and costs which the Owner has incurred.

 

6.2.5        The Owner and each separate contractor shall have the same
responsibilities for cutting and patching as are described for the Contractor in
Subparagraph 3.14.

 

6.3           OWNER’S RIGHT TO CLEAN UP

6.3.1        If a dispute arises among the Contractor, separate contractors and
the Owner as to the responsibility under their respective contracts for
maintaining the premises and surrounding area free from waste materials and
rubbish, the Owner may clean up and the Architect will allocate the cost among
those responsible.

 

ARTICLE 7 CHANGES IN THE WORK

7.1           GENERAL

7.1.1        Changes in the Work may be accomplished after execution of the
Contract, and without invalidating the Contract, by Change Order, Construction
Change Directive or order for a minor change in the Work, subject to the
limitations stated in this Article 7 and elsewhere in the Contract Documents.

 

7.1.2        A Change Order shall be based upon agreement among the Owner,
Contractor and Architect; a Construction Change Directive requires agreement by
the Owner and Architect

 

65

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

and may or may not be agreed to by the Contractor, an order for a minor change
in the Work may be issued by the Architect alone.

 

7.1.3        Changes in the Work shall be performed under applicable provisions
of the Contract Documents, and the Contractor shall proceed promptly, unless
otherwise provided in the Change Order, Construction Change Directive or order
for a minor change in the Work.

 

7.2           CHANGE ORDERS

7.2.1        A Change Order is a written instrument prepared by the Architect
and signed by the Owner, Contractor and Architect, stating their agreement upon
all of the following:

.1             change in the Work;

.2             the amount of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum; and

.3             the extent of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Time.

 

7.2.2        Methods used in determining adjustments to the Contract Sum may
include those listed in Subparagraph 7.3.3.

 

7.3           CONSTRUCTION CHANGE DIRECTIVES

7.3.1        A Construction Change Directive is a written order prepared by the
Architect and signed by the Owner and Architect, directing a change in the Work
prior to agreement on adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum or Contract Time,
or both. The Owner may by Construction Change Directive, without invalidating
the Contract, order changes in the Work within the general scope of the Contract
consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, the Contract Sum and
Contract Time being adjusted accordingly.

 

7.3.2        A Construction Change Directive shall be used in the absence of
total agreement on the terms of a Change Order.

 

7.3.3        If the Construction Change Directive provides for an adjustment to
the Contract Sum, the adjustment shall be based on one of the following methods:

.1

 

mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient
substantiating data to permit evaluation;

.2

 

unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon;

.3

 

cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually
acceptable fixed or percentage fee; or

.4

 

as provided in Subparagraph 7.3.6.

 

7.3.4        Upon receipt of a Construction Change Directive, the Contractor
shall promptly proceed with the change in the Work involved and advise the
Architect of the Contractor’s agreement or disagreement with the method, if any,
provided in the Construction Change Directive for determining the proposed
adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time.

 

7.3.5        A Construction Change Directive signed by the Contractor indicates
agreement of the Contractor therewith, including adjustment in Contract Sum and
Contract Time or the method for determining them. Such agreement shall be
effective immediately and shall be recorded as a Change Order.

 

7.3.6        If the Contractor does not respond promptly or disagrees with the
method for adjustment in the Contract Sum, the method and the adjustment shall
be determined by the Architect on the basis of reasonable expenditures and
savings of those performing the Work attributable to the change, including, in
case of an increase in the Contract Sum, a reasonable allowance for overhead and
profit. In such case, and also under Clause 7.3.3.3, the Contractor

 

66

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

shall keep and present, in such form as the Architect may prescribe, an itemized
accounting together with appropriate supporting data. Unless otherwise provided
in the Contract Documents, costs for the purposes of this Subparagraph 7.3.6
shall be limited to the following:

.1

 

costs of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment insurance,
fringe benefits required by agreement or custom, and workers’ compensation
insurance;

.2

 

costs of materials, supplies and equipment, including cost of transportation,
whether incorporated or consumed;

.3

 

rental costs of machinery and equipment, exclusive of hand tools, whether rented
from the Contractor or others;

.4

 

costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance, permit fees, and sales, use or
similar taxes related to the Work; and

.5

 

additional costs of supervision and field office personnel directly attributable
to the change.

 

7.3.7        The amount of credit to be allowed by Contractor to the Owner for a
deletion or change which results in a net decrease in Contract Sum shall be
actual net cost as confirmed by the Architect. When both additions and credits
covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the allowance
for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of net increase, if any,
with respect to that change.

 

7.3.8        Pending final determination of the total cost of a Construction
Change Directive to the Owner, amounts not in dispute for such changes in the
Work shall be included in Applications for Payment accompanied by a Change Order
indicating the parties’ agreement with part or all of such costs. For any
portion of such cost that remains in dispute, the Architect will make an interim
determination for purposes of monthly certification for payment for those costs.
That determination of cost shall adjust the Contract Sum on the same basis as a
Change Order, subject to the right of either party to disagree and assert a
claim in accordance with Article 4.

 

7.3.9        When the Owner and Contractor agree with the determination made by
the Architect concerning the adjustments in the Contract Sum and Contract Time,
or otherwise reach agreement upon the adjustments, such agreement shall be
effective immediately and shall be recorded by preparation and execution of an
appropriate Change Order.

 

7.4           MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK

7.4.1        The Architect will have authority to order minor changes in the
Work not involving adjustment in the Contract Sum or extension of the Contract
Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents.  Such
changes shall be effected by written order and shall be binding on the Owner and
Contractor. The Contractor shall carry out such written orders promptly.

 

ARTICLE 8 TIME

8.1           DEFINITIONS

8.1.1        Unless otherwise provided, Contract Time is the period of time,
including authorized adjustments, allotted in the Contract Documents for
Substantial Completion of the Work.

 

8.1.2        The date of commencement of the Work is the date established in the
Agreement.  The date shall not be postponed by the failure to act by the
Contractor or by persons or entities for whom the Contractor is responsible.

 

67

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

8.1.3        The date of Substantial Completion is the date certified by the
Architect in accordance with Paragraph 9.8.

 

8.1.4        The term “day” as used in the Contract Documents shall mean
calendar day unless otherwise specifically defined.

 

8.2           PROGRESS AND COMPLETION

8.2.1        Time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of
the Contract.  By executing the Agreement the Contractor confirms that the
Contract Time is a reasonable period for performing the Work.

 

8.2.2        The Contractor shall not knowingly, except by agreement or
instruction of the Owner in writing, prematurely commence operations on the site
or elsewhere prior to the effective date of insurance required by Article II to
be furnished by the Contractor and Owner.  The date of commencement of the Work
shall not be changed by the effective date of such insurance.  Unless the date
of commencement is established by the Contract Documents or a notice to proceed
given by the Owner, the Contractor shall notify the Owner in writing not less
than five days or other agreed period before commencing the Work to permit the
timely filing of mortgages, mechanic’s liens and other security interests.

 

8.2.3        The Contractor shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and
shall achieve Substantial Completion within the Contract Time.

 

8.3           DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME

8.3.1        If the Contractor is delayed at any time in the commencement or
progress of the Work by an act or neglect of the Owner or Architect, or of an
employee of either, or of a separate contractor employed by the Owner, or by
changes ordered in the Work, or by labor disputes, fire, unusual delay in
deliveries, unavoidable casualties or other causes beyond the Contractor’s
control, or by delay authorized by the Owner pending mediation and arbitration,
or by other causes which the Architect determines may justify delay, then the
Contract Time shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as the
Architect may determine.

 

8.3.2        Claims relating to time shall be made in accordance with applicable
provisions of Paragraph 4.3.

 

8.3.3        This Paragraph 8.3 does not preclude recovery of damages for delay
by either party under other provisions of the Contract Documents.  No claim for
delay shall be allowed on account of failure of the Architect to furnish
Drawings, Specifications or instructions or to return Shop Drawings or Samples
until five (5) days after receipt by the Architect by registered or certified
mail of written demand for such instructions, Drawings, or Samples, and not then
unless such claim be reasonable.

 

ARTICLE 9 PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION

9.1           CONTRACT SUM

9.1.1        The Contract Sum is stated in the Agreement and, including
authorized adjustments, is the total amount payable by the Owner to the
Contractor for performance of the Work under the Contract Documents.

 

9.2           SCHEDULE OF VALUES

9.2.1        Before the first Application for Payment, the Contractor shall
submit to the Architect a schedule of values allocated to various portions of
the Work, prepared in such form and

 

68

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Architect may
require.  This schedule, unless objected to by the Architect, shall be used as a
basis for reviewing the Contractor’s Applications for Payment.

 

9.3           APPLICATIONS FOR PAYMENT

9.3.1        At least ten days before the date established for each progress
payment.  At the time or times established in the Contract, the Contractor shall
submit to the Architect an itemized Application for Payment for operations
completed in accordance with the schedule of values.  The format and number of
copies of such Applications for Payment shall be as directed by the Owner.  Such
application shall be notarized, if required, and supported by such data
substantiating the Contractor’s right to payment as the Owner or Architect may
require, such as copies of requisitions from Subcontractors and material
suppliers, and reflecting retainage if provided for in the Contract Documents.

 

9.3.1.1     As provided in Subparagraph 7.3.8, such applications may include
requests for payment on account of changes in the Work which have been properly
authorized by Construction Change Directives, or by interim determinations of
the Architect, but not yet included in Change Orders.

 

9.3.1.2     Such applications may not include requests for payment for portions
of the Work for which the Contractor does not intend to pay to a Subcontractor
or material supplier, unless such Work has been performed by others whom the
Contractor intends to pay.

 

9.3.2        Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, payments shall
be made on account of materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at
the site for subsequent incorporation in the Work.  If approved in advance by
the Owner (including such evidence of insurance and title as Owner shall request
of Contractor and/or Subcontractor), payment may similarly be made for materials
and equipment suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in
writing.  Payment for materials and equipment stored on or off the site shall be
conditioned upon compliance by the Contractor with procedures satisfactory to
the Owner to establish the Owner’s title to such materials and equipment or
otherwise protect the Owner’s interest, and shall include the costs of
applicable insurance, storage and transportation to the site for such materials
and equipment stored off the site.

 

9.3.3        The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by an
Application for Payment will pass to the Owner either by incorporation in the
construction or upon the receipt of payment by the Contractor, whichever occurs
first, free and clear from all liens, claims, security interests and
encumbrances, hereinafter referred to in this Article 9 as “liens” no later than
the time of payment.  The Contractor further warrants that upon submittal of an
Application for Payment all Work for which Certificates for Payment have been
previously issued and payments received from the Owner shall, to the best of the
Contractor’s knowledge, information and belief, be free and clear of liens,
claims, security interests or encumbrances in favor of the Contractor,
Subcontractors, material suppliers, or other persons or entities making a claim
by reason of having provided labor materials and equipment relating to the Work.

 

9.3.4       Each Application for Payment or periodic estimate requesting payment
shall be accompanied at the Owner’s option by:  (i) a waiver of liens from each
subcontractor or (ii) a certificate from each

 

69

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Subcontractor stating that the Subcontractor has been paid all amounts due the
Subcontractor on the basis of the previous periodic payment to the Contractor,
or else stating the amount not so paid and the reason for the discrepancy.  In
the event of such discrepancy, the Contractor shall furnish the Contractor’s own
written explanation to the Owner through the Architect.  Such waiver or
certificate shall be in form acceptable to the Owner.

 

In the event that any lien security interest chattel mortgage or conditional
bill of sale shall be filed by any party claiming by, through or under the
Contractor, the Contractor shall promptly remove or discharge such lien,
security interest chattel mortgage or conditional bill of sale by bonding
payment, or otherwise provided that the Owner has discharged its payment
obligations to the Contractor relating to any such lien and shall indemnify the
Owner against the loss, damage or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses) caused by any such lien, security interest, chattel mortgage or
conditional bill of sale.  If the Contractor shall fail to so remove or
discharge the same within five (5) days after notice from the Owner (but in no
event later than the date on which the next payment on an Application for
Payment becomes due) the Owner shall have the right to remove or discharge the
same by bonding payment or otherwise for the account of the Contractor and the
amount of any payment, cost and expenses made or incurred by the Owner in
connection with the removal or discharge thereof may be withheld from any
payment thereafter becoming due or shall be reimbursed promptly to the Owner by
the Contractor.

 

9.4           CERTIFICATES FOR PAYMENT

9.4.1        The Architect will, within seven days after receipt of the
Contractor’s Application for Payment, either issue to the Owner a Certificate
for Payment, with a copy to the Contractor, for such amount as the Architect
determines is properly due, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of the
Architect’s reasons for withholding certification in whole or in part as
provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1.

 

9.4.2        The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a
representation by the Architect to the Owner, based on the Architect’s
evaluation of the Work and the data comprising the Application for Payment, that
the Work has progressed to the point indicated and that, to the best of the
Architect’s knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the Work is in
accordance with the Contract Documents.  The foregoing representations are
subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents
upon Substantial Completion, to results of subsequent tests and inspections, to
correction of minor deviations from the Contract Documents prior to completion
and to specific qualifications expressed by the Architect.  The issuance of a
Certificate for Payment will further constitute a representation that the
Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified.  However, the
issuance of a

 

70

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Certificate for Payment will not be a representation that the Architect has (1)
made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or
quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from
Subcontractors and material suppliers and other data requested by the Owner to
substantiate the Contractor’s right to payment, or (4) made examination to
ascertain how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously paid
on account of the Contract Sum.

 

9.5           DECISIONS TO WITHHOLD CERTIFICATION

9.5.1        The Architect may withhold a Certificate for Payment in whole or in
part, to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the Owner, if in the
Architect’s opinion the representations to the Owner required by Subparagraph
9.4.2 cannot be made.  If the Architect is unable to certify payment in the
amount of the Application, the Architect will notify the Contractor and Owner as
provided in Subparagraph 9.4.1.  If the Contractor and Architect cannot agree on
a revised amount, the Architect will promptly issue a Certificate for Payment
for the amount for which the Architect is able to make such representations to
the Owner.  The Architect may also withhold a Certificate for Payment or,
because of subsequently discovered evidence, may nullify the whole or a part of
a Certificate for Payment previously issued, to such extent as may be necessary
in the Architect’s opinion to protect the Owner from loss for which the
Contractor is responsible, including loss resulting from acts and omissions
described in Subparagraph 3.3.2, because of:

.1

 

defective Work not remedied;

.2

 

third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of
such claims unless security acceptable to the Owner is provided by the
Contractor;

.3

 

failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for
labor, materials or equipment;

.4

 

reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of
the Contract Sum;

.5

 

damage to the Owner or another contractor;

.6

 

reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the Contract
Time, and that the unpaid balance would not be adequate to cover actual or
liquidated damages for the anticipated delay; or

.7

 

persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents.

 

.8             A lien or attachment is filed in violation of this Agreement.

 

9.5.2        When the above reasons for withholding certification are removed,
certification will be made for amounts previously withheld.

 

9.6           PROGRESS PAYMENTS

9.6.1        After the Architect has issued a Certificate for Payment, the Owner
shall make payment in the manner and within the time provided in the Contract
Documents, and shall so notify the Architect.

 

9.6.2        The Contractor shall promptly pay each Subcontractor, upon receipt
of payment from the Owner, out of the amount paid to the Contractor on account
of such Subcontractor’s portion of the Work, the amount to which said
Subcontractor is entitled, reflecting percentages actually retained from
payments to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor’s portion of the
Work.  The Contractor shall, by appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor,
require each Subcontractor to make payments to Sub-subcontractors in a similar
manner.

 

9.6.3        The Architect will, on request, furnish to a Subcontractor, if
practicable, information regarding percentages of completion of amounts applied
for by the Contractor and action

 

71

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

taken thereon by the Architect and Owner on account of portions of the Work done
by such Subcontractor.

 

9.6.4        Neither the Owner nor Architect shall have an obligation to pay or
to see to the payment of money to a Subcontractor Sub-subcontractor of material
supplier, except as may otherwise be required by law.

 

9.6.5        Payment to material suppliers shall be treated in a manner similar
to that provided in Subparagraphs 9.6.2, 9.6.3 and 9.6.4.

 

9.6.6        A Certificate for Payment, a progress payment, or partial or entire
use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner shall not constitute acceptance of
Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents.

 

9.6.7        Unless the Contractor provides the Owner with a payment bond in the
full penal sum of the Contract Sum, payments received by the Contractor for Work
properly performed by Subcontractors and suppliers shall be held by the
Contractor for those Subcontractors or suppliers who performed Work or furnished
materials, or both, under contract with the Contractor for which payment was
made by the Owner.  Nothing contained herein shall require money to be placed in
a separate account and not commingled with money of the Contractor, shall create
any fiduciary liability or tort liability on the part of the Contractor for
breach of trust or shall entitle any person or entity to an award of punitive
damages against the Contractor for breach of the requirements of this provision.

 

9.7           FAILURE OF PAYMENT

9.7.1        If the Architect does not issue a Certificate for Payment, through
no fault of the Contractor, within seven days after receipt of the Contractor’s
Application for Payment, or if the Owner does not pay the Contractor within
seven days after the date established in the Contract Documents the amount
certified by the Architect or awarded by arbitration, then the Contractor may,
upon seven additional days’ written notice to the Owner and Architect, stop the
Work until payment of the amount owing has been received.  The Contract Time
shall be extended appropriately and the Contract Sum shall be increased by the
amount of the Contractor’s reasonable costs of shut-down, delay and start-up,
plus interest as provided for in the Contract Documents.

 

9.8           SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

9.8.1        Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work
when the Work or designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete in
accordance with the Contract Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize
the Work for its intended use and only minor items which can be corrected or
completed without any material interference with the Owner’s use of the Work
remain to be corrected or completed.

 

9.8.2        When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof
which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the
Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Architect a comprehensive list of
items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment.  Failure to include
an item on such list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to
complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

 

9.8.3        Upon receipt of the Contractor’s list, the Architect will make an
inspection to determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is
substantially complete.  If the Architect’s inspection discloses any item,
whether or not included on the Contractor’s list, which is not sufficiently
complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the

 

72

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Owner can occupy or utilize the Work or designated portion thereof for its
intended use, the Contractor shall, before issuance of the Certificate of
Substantial Completion, complete or correct such item upon notification by the
Architect.  In such case, the Contractor shall then submit a request for another
inspection by the Architect to determine Substantial Completion.

 

9.8.4        When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially
complete, the Architect will prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion
which shall establish the date of Substantial Completion, shall establish
responsibilities of the Owner and Contractor for security, maintenance, heat,
utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and shall fix the time within which
the Contractor shall finish all items on the list accompanying the Certificate. 
Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the date of
Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless
otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Completion.

 

9.8.5        The Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the
Owner and Contractor for their written acceptance of responsibilities assigned
to them in such Certificate.  Upon such acceptance and consent of surety, if
any, the Owner shall make payment of retainage applying to such Work or
designated portion thereof.  Such payment shall be adjusted for Work that is
incomplete or not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

 

9.9           PARTIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE

9.9.1        The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially completed
portion of the Work at any stage when such portion is designated by separate
agreement with the Contractor, provided such occupancy or use is consented to by
the insurer as required under Clause 11.4.1.5 and authorized by public
authorities having jurisdiction over the Work.  Such partial occupancy or use
may commence begin whether or not the portion is substantially complete,
provided that the respective responsibilities of the Owner and Contractor with
respect to have accepted in writing the responsibilities assigned to each of
them for payments, retainage, if any, security, maintenance, heat, utilities,
damage to the Work, and insurance, correction of the Work and warranties shall
be established by agreement of the Owner and Contractor or, absent such
agreement shall be determined by the Architect subject to the right of either
party to contest such determination as provided in Paragraph 4.5. and have
agreed in writing concerning the period for correction of the Work and
commencement of warranties required by the Contract Documents.  When the
Contractor considers a portion substantially complete, the Contractor shall
prepare and submit a list to the Architect as provided under Subparagraph
9.8.2.  Consent of the Contractor to partial occupancy or use shall not be
unreasonably withheld.  The stage of the progress of the Work shall be
determined by written agreement between the Owner and Contractor or, if no
agreement is reached, by decision of the Architect.

 

9.9.2        Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner,
Contractor and Architect shall jointly inspect the area to be occupied or
portion of the Work to be used in order to determine and record the condition of
the Work.

 

9.9.3        Unless otherwise agreed upon, partial occupancy or use of a portion
or portions of the Work shall not constitute acceptance of Work not complying
with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

 

9.10         FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT

 

73

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

9.10.1      Upon receipt of written notice that the Work is ready for final
inspection and acceptance and upon receipt of a final Application for Payment,
the Architect will promptly make such inspection and, when the Architect finds
the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully
performed, the Architect will promptly issue a final Certificate for Payment
stating that to the best of the Architect’s knowledge, information and belief,
and on the basis of the Architect’s on-site visits and inspections, the Work has
been completed in accordance with terms and conditions of the Contract Documents
and that the entire balance found to be due the Contractor and noted in the
final Certificate is due and payable.  The Architect’s final Certificate for
Payment will constitute a further representation that conditions listed in
Subparagraph 9.10.2 as precedent to the Contractor’s being entitled to final
payment have been fulfilled.

 

9.10.2      Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall
become due until the Contractor submits to the Architect (1) an affidavit that
payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness connected
with the Work for which the Owner or the Owner’s property might be responsible
or encumbered (less amounts withheld by Owner) have been paid or otherwise
satisfied, (2) a certificate evidencing that insurance required by the Contract
Documents to remain in force after final payment is currently in effect and will
not be canceled or allowed to expire until at least 30 days’ prior written
notice has been given to the Owner, (3) a written statement that the Contractor
knows of no substantial reason that the insurance will not be renewable to cover
the period required by the Contract Documents, (4) consent of surety, if any, to
final payment and (5), if required by the Owner, other data establishing payment
or satisfaction of obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens,
claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the Contract, to the
extent and in such form as may be designated by the Owner.  If a Subcontractor
refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner, the Contractor may
furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify the Owner against such
lien.  Provided Owner is not in breach of its payment obligations under the
Contract, if the Contractor fails to furnish such releases or waivers as the
Owner reasonably requires to satisfy the Owner that there are no outstanding
liens, the Owner may require the Contractor as a condition of final payment and
at the Contractor’s expense to furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner to
indemnify the Owner against any such liens.  If such lien remains unsatisfied
after payments are made, the Contractor shall refund to the Owner all money that
the Owner may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs
and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

9.10.3      If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion
thereof is materially delayed through no fault of the Contractor or by issuance
of Change Orders affecting final completion, and the Architect so confirms, the
Owner shall, upon application by the Contractor and certification by the
Architect, and without terminating the Contract, make payment of the balance due
for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted.  If the remaining
balance for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than retainage
stipulated in the Contract Documents, and if bonds have been furnished, the
written consent of surety to payment of the balance due for that portion of the
Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor to the
Architect prior to certification of such payment.  Such payment shall be made
under terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not
constitute a waiver of claims.

 

9.10.4      The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of Claims by
the Owner except those arising from:

.1             liens, Claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of
the Contract and unsettled;

 

74

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

.2             failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the
Contract Documents; or

.3             terms of special warranties required by the Contract Documents.

 

9.10.5      Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor, a Subcontractor or
material supplier shall constitute a waiver of claims by that payee except those
previously made in writing and identified by that payee as unsettled at the time
of final Application for Payment.

writing stating whether or not either has reasonable objection to the persons or
entities proposed by the Owner.  If either the Contractor or Architect has an
objection to a person or entity proposed by the Owner, the Owner shall propose
another to whom the Contractor and the Architect have no reasonable objection.

not due to the sole negligence of a party seeking indemnity.

 

10.4         The Owner shall not be responsible under Paragraph 10.3 for
materials and substances brought to the site by the Contractor unless such
materials or substances were required by the Contract Documents.

 

10.5         If, without negligence on the part of the Contractor, the
Contractor is held liable for the cost of remediation of a hazardous material or

otherwise required by the Contract Documents, the Owner shall reimburse the
Contractor by increasing the Contract Sum to pay the cost of purchasing and
maintaining such optional insurance coverage, and the Contractor shall not be
responsible for purchasing any other liability insurance on behalf of the
Owner.  The minimum limits of liability purchased with such coverage shall be
equal to the aggregate of the limits required for Contractor’s Liability
Insurance under Clauses 11.1.1.2 through 11.1.1.5.

 

78

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

11.3.2      To the extent damages are covered by Project Management Protective

plus value of subsequent Contract modifications and cost of materials supplied
or installed by others, comprising total value for the entire Project at the
site on a replacement cost basis without optional deductibles. Such property
insurance shall be maintained, unless otherwise provided in the Contract
Documents or otherwise agreed in writing by all persons and entities who are
beneficiaries of such insurance, until final payment has been made as provided
in Paragraph 9.10 or until no person or entity other than the Owner has an
insurable interest in the property required by this Paragraph 11.4 to be
covered, whichever is later.  This insurance shall include interests of the
Owner, the Contractor, Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors in the Project.

 

11.4.1.1  Property insurance shall be on an “all-risk” or equivalent policy form
and shall include, without limitation, insurance against the perils of fire
(with extended coverage) and physical loss or damage including, without
duplication of coverage, theft, vandalism, malicious mischief, collapse,
earthquake, flood, windstorm, falsework, testing and startup, temporary
buildings and debris removal including demolition occasioned by enforcement of
any applicable legal requirements, and shall cover reasonable compensation for
Architect’s and Contractor’s services and expenses required as a result of such
insured loss.

 

11.4.1.2  If the Owner does not intend to purchase such property insurance
required by the Contract and with all of the coverages in the amount described
above, the Owner shall so inform the Contractor in writing prior to commencement
of the Work.  The Contractor may then effect insurance which will protect the
interests of the Contractor, Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors in the Work,
and by appropriate Change Order the cost thereof shall be charged to the Owner. 
If the Contractor is damaged by the failure or neglect of the Owner to purchase
or maintain insurance as described above, without so notifying the Contractor in
writing, then the Owner shall bear all reasonable costs properly attributable
there.  If the property insurance requires minimum deductibles and such
deductibles are identified in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall pay
insurance required minimum deductibles and such deductibles are identified in
the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall pay costs not covered because of
such deductibles.  If the Owner or insurer increases the required minimum
deductibles above the amount so identified or if the Owner elects to purchase
this insurance with voluntary deductible amounts, the Owner shall be responsible
for payment of the additional costs not covered because of such increased or
voluntary deductibles.

 

79

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

11.4.1.3  If the property insurance requires deductibles, the Owner shall pay
costs not covered because of such deductibles.

 

11.4.1.4  This property insurance shall cover portions of the Work stored off
the site, and also portions of the Work in transit.

 

11.4.1.5  Partial occupancy or use in accordance with Paragraph 9.9 shall not
commence until the insurance company or companies providing property insurance
have consented to such partial occupancy or use by endorsement or otherwise. 
The Owner and the Contractor shall take reasonable steps to obtain consent of
the insurance company or companies and shall, without mutual written consent,
take no action with respect to partial occupancy or use that would cause
cancellation, lapse or reduction of insurance.

 

11.4.2      Boiler and Machinery Insurance.  The Owner shall purchase and
maintain boiler and machinery insurance required by the Contract Document or by
law, which shall specifically cover such insured objects during installation and
until final acceptance by the Owner; this insurance shall include interests of
the Owner, Contractor, Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors in the Work, and
the Owner and Contractor shall be named insureds.

 

11.4.3      Loss of Use Insurance.  The Owner, at the Owner’s option, may
purchase and maintain such insurance as will insure the Owner against loss of
use of the Owner’s property due to fire or other hazards, however caused.  The
Owner waives all rights of action against the Contractor for loss of use of the
Owner’s property, including consequential losses due to fire or other hazards
however caused.

 

11.4.4      If the Contractor requests in writing that insurance for risks other
than those described herein or other special causes of loss be included in the
property insurance policy, the Owner shall, if possible, include such insurance,
and the cost thereof shall be charged to the Contractor by appropriate Change
Order.

 

11.4.5      If during the Project construction period the Owner insures
properties, real or personal or both, at or adjacent to the site by property
insurance under policies separate from those insuring the Project, or if after
final payment property insurance is to be provided on the completed Project
through a policy or policies other than those insuring the Project during the
construction period, the Owner shall waive all rights in accordance with the
terms of Subparagraph 11.4.7 for damages caused by fire or other causes of loss
covered by this separate property insurance.  All separate policies shall
provide this waiver of subrogation by endorsement or otherwise.

 

11.4.6      Before an exposure to loss may occur, the Owner shall file with the
Contractor a copy of each policy that includes insurance coverages required by
this Paragraph 11.4.  Each policy shall contain all generally applicable
conditions, definitions, exclusions and endorsements related to this Project. 
Each policy shall contain a provision that the policy will not be cancelled or
allowed to expire, and that its limits will not be reduced, until at least 30
days’ prior written notice has been given to the Contractor.

 

11.4.7      Waivers of Subrogation.  The Owner and Contractor waive all rights
against (1) each other and any of their subcontractors, sub-subcontractors,
agents and employees, each of the other, and (2) the Architect, Architect’s
consultants, separate contractors described in Article 6, if any, and any of
their subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, agents and employees, for damages
caused by fire or other causes of loss to the extent covered by property
insurance obtained pursuant to this Paragraph 11.4 or other property insurance
applicable to the Work, except such rights as they have to proceeds of such
insurance held by the Owner as fiduciary.  The Owner or Contractor, as
appropriate, shall require of the Architect, Architect’s consultants, separate
contractors described in Article 6, if any, and the subcontractors,
sub-subcontractors,

 

80

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

agents and employees of any of them, by appropriate agreements, written where
legally required for validity, similar waivers each in favor of other parties
enumerated herein.  The policies shall provide such waivers of subrogation by
endorsement or otherwise.  A waiver of subrogation shall be effective as to a
person or entity even though that person or entity would otherwise have a duty
of indemnification, contractual or otherwise, and whether or not did not pay the
insurance premium has directly or indirectly been paid, and whether or not the
person or entity had on insurable interest in the property damaged.

 

11.4.8      A loss insured under Owner’s property insurance shall be adjusted by
the Owner as fiduciary and made payable to the Owner as fiduciary for the
insureds, as their interests may appear, subject to requirements of any
applicable mortgage clause and of Subparagraph 11.4.10.  The Contractor shall
pay Subcontractors their just shares of insurance proceeds received by the
Contractor, and by appropriate agreements, written where legally required for
validity, shall require Subcontractors to make payments to their sub-contractors
in similar manner.

 

11.4.9      If required in writing by a party in interest, the Owner as
fiduciary shall, upon occurrence of an insured loss, give bond for proper
performance of the Owner’s duties.  The cost of required bonds shall be charged
against proceeds received as fiduciary.  The Owner shall deposit in a separate
account proceeds so received, which the Owner shall distribute in accordance
with such agreement as the parties in interest may reach, or in accordance with
an arbitration award in which case the procedure shall be as provided in
Paragraph 4.6.  If after such loss no other special agreement is made and unless
the Owner terminates the Contract for convenience, replacement of damaged
property shall be performed by the Contractor after notification of a Change in
the Work in accordance with Article 7.

 

11.4.10    The Owner as fiduciary shall have power to adjust and settle a loss
with insurers unless one of the parties in interest shall object in writing
within five days after occurrence of loss to the Owner’s exercise of this power,
if such objection is made, the dispute shall be resolved as provided in
Paragraphs 4.5 and 4.6.  The Owner as fiduciary shall, in the case of
arbitration, make settlement with insurers in accordance with directions of the
arbitrators.  If distribution of insurance proceeds by arbitration is required,
the arbitrators will direct such distribution.

 

11.5         PERFORMANCE BOND AND PAYMENT BOND

11.5.1      The Owner shall have the right to require the Contractor to furnish
bonds covering faithful performance of the Contract and payment of obligations
arising hereunder as stipulated in bidding requirements or specifically required
in the Contract Documents on the date of execution of the Contract.

 

11.5.2      Upon the request of any person or entity appearing to be a potential
beneficiary of bonds covering payment of obligations arising under the Contract,
the Contractor shall promptly furnish a copy of the bonds or shall permit a copy
to be made.

 

ARTICLE 12          UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK

12.1         UNCOVERING OF WORK

12.1.1      If a portion of the Work is covered contrary to the Architect’s
request or to requirements specifically expressed in the Contract Documents, it
must, if required in writing by the Architect, be uncovered for the Architect’s
examination and be replaced at the Contractor’s expense without change in the
Contract Time.

 

12.1.2      If a portion of the Work has been covered which the Architect has
not specifically requested to examine prior to its being covered, the Architect
may request to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by the Contractor.  If
such Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents, costs of uncovering and
replacement shall, by appropriate Change Order, be at the Owner’s expense.  If
such Work is not in accordance with the Contract Documents, correction

 

81

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

shall be at the Contractor’s expense unless the condition was caused by the
Owner or a separate contractor in which event the Owner shall be responsible for
payment of such costs.

 

12.2         CORRECTION OF WORK

12.2.1      BEFORE OR AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

12.2.1.1   The Contractor shall promptly correct Work rejected by the Architect
or failing to conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents, whether
discovered before or after Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated,
installed or completed. Costs of correction such rejected Work, including
additional testing and inspections and compensation for the Architect’s services
and expenses made necessary thereby, shall be at the Contractor’s expense.

 

12.2.2      AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

12.2.2.1   In addition to the Contractor’s obligations under Paragraph 3.5, if,
within one year after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or
designated portion thereof or after the date for commencement of warranties
established under Subparagraph 9.9.1, or by terms of an applicable special
warranty required by the Contract Documents, any of the Work is found to be not
in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor
shall correct it promptly after receipt of written notice from the Owner to do
so unless the Owner has previously given the Contractor a written acceptance of
such condition. The Owner shall give such notice promptly after discovery of the
condition. During the one-year period for correction of Work, if the Owner fails
to notify the Contractor and give the Contractor an opportunity to make the
correction, the Owner waives the rights to require correction by the Contractor
and to make a claim for breach of warranty. If the Contractor fails to correct
nonconforming Work within a reasonable time during that period after receipt of
notice from the Owner or Architect, the Owner may correct it in accordance with
Paragraph 2.4.

 

12.2.2.2  The one-year period for correction of Work shall be extended with
respect to portions of Work first performed after Substantial Completion by the
period of time between Substantial Completion and the actual performance of the
Work.

 

12.2.2.3  The one-year period for correction of Work shall not be extended by
corrective Work performed by the Contractor pursuant to this Paragraph 12.2.

 

12.2.3      The Contractor shall remove from the site portions of the Work which
are not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and are
neither corrected by the Contractor nor accepted by the Owner.

 

12.2.4      The Contractor shall bear the cost of correcting destroyed or
damaged construction, whether completed or partially completed, of the Owner or
separate contractors caused by the Contractor’s correction or removal of Work
which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

 

12.2.5      Nothing contained in this Paragraph 12.2 shall be construed to
establish a period of limitation with respect to other obligations which the
Contractor might have under the Contract Documents. Establishment of the
one-year period for correction of Work as described in Subparagraph 12.2.2
relates only to the specific obligation of the Contractor to correct the Work,
and has no relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply with
the Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within
which proceedings may be commenced to establish the Contractor’s liability with
respect to the Contractor’s obligations other than specially to correct the
Work.

 

12.3         ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK

 

82

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

12.3.1      If the Owner prefers to accept Work which is not in accordance with
the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Owner may do so instead of
requiring its removal and correction, in which case the Contract Sum will be
reduced as appropriate and equitable. Such adjustments shall be effected whether
or not final payment has been made.

 

ARTICLE 13          MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

13.1         GOVERNING LAW

the Owner may assign the Contract to any institutional lender providing
construction or permanent financing for the Project or to any person acquiring
the Owner’s interest in the Project and the contractor agrees to execute all
consents certificates and other documents required by such lender or other
person in connection with such assignment. If either party attempts to make such
an assignment without such consent, that party shall nevertheless remain legally
responsible for all obligations under the Contract.

 

13.2.2      The Owner may, without consent of the Contractor, assign the
Contract to an institutional lender providing construction financing for the
Project. In such event, the lender shall assume the Owner’s rights and
obligations under the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall execute all
consents reasonably required to facilitate such assignment. If the Owner conveys
its interest in the Project to a third party, any rights which the Owner may
have against the Contractor arising from this Agreement including without
limitation Claims under Article 12, or Claims which, under the terms of
subparagraph 4.3.10, are reserved to the Owner after the making and acceptance
of final payment, shall automatically transfer to such third party.

interest from the date payment is due at such rate as the parties may agree upon
in writing or, in the absence thereof, at the legal rate prevailing from time to

PHASE II A / E DESIGN COSTS SCHEDULE

 

ATTACHMENT III

 

Assumptions

 

The following Schedule of Design Costs for Architect / Engineer Basic Services
and Additional Consulting Services is prepared in accordance with the Standard
Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect (ALA Document B141) with JCJ
Standard Terms and Conditions, and reflects the scope of services described
therein. The construction costs shown are extracted form the most current
Construction Budget prepared by Louis P. Ciminelli Construction Co., Inc. dated
January 9, 2002, and adjusted per DNC directives. In the event that the scope
and/or value of the proposed project is adjusted upwards in the future, the
Schedule of Design Costs shall be revised accordingly. JCJ proposes to adjust
(if required) and confirm the budget / fee schedule at the conclusion of the
Design Development phase and at the time of GMP Submission by the Construction
Manager.
