Application for Payment (provided, however, that such amount shall
not to exceed that portion of the GMAX properly allocable to
completed Work as determined by multiplying the percentage of
completion of each portion of the Work by the share of the GMAX
allocated to that portion of the Work in the schedule of values)
less retainage of ten percent ( 10.00
that portion of the General Conditions Amount properly allocable
through the end of the period covered by the current Application
for Payment, which amount shall be calculated by taking the General
Conditions Amount divided by the Contract Time (in days),
multiplied by the number of days elapsed between the date of
commencement and the last day of the period covered by the current
Application for Payment (provided, however, that such number shall
not exceed the Contract Time), less retainage of ten
percent ( 10.00 %) ;
the payable portion of the Contractor’s Fee, less retainage
of ten percent ( 10.00 %) .The payable
portion of the Contractor’s Fee shall be an amount that bears
the same ratio to that fixed-sum fee as the Cost of the Work bears
to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the Work upon its
the Owner has elected to proceed with completion of the interior
finish-out portion of the Project under §6.5.1 or §6.5.3
of this Agreement, then add that portion of the Interior Stipulated
Sum properly allocable to completed items of work described in
Exhibit “C” as determined by multiplying the
percentage completion of each portion of said work by the share of
the Interior Stipulated Sum allocated to that portion of said work
in the approved schedule of values, less retainage of
ten percent (10.00%) ;
Sum properly allocable to materials and equipment described in
Exhibit “C” that are delivered and suitably
stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the completed
construction (or, if approved in advance by the Owner, suitably
stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing), less
retainage of ten percent (10.00%)
Subtract the aggregate of previous
payments made by the Owner;
Subtract the shortfall, if any,
indicated by the Contractor in the documentation required by
Section 12.1.4 to substantiate prior Applications for Payment,
or resulting from errors subsequently discovered by the
Owner’s auditors in such documentation; and
Subtract amounts, if any, for which
the Architect has withheld or nullified a Certificate for Payment
as provided in Section 9.5 of the General
12.1.8 The Owner and the
Contractor shall agree upon a (1) mutually acceptable
procedure for review and approval of payments to Subcontractors and
(2) the percentage of retainage held on Subcontracts, and the
Contractor shall execute subcontracts in accordance with those

constituting the entire unpaid balance of the Contract Sum, as
determined after accounting for all amounts credited as savings and
all other offsets, shall be made by the Owner to the Contractor no
less than thirty (30) days and no more than
thirty-five (35) days after

the Contract, and submit same to Architect for review by
Owner’s auditors. The Owner’s auditors will review and
report in writing on the Contractor’s final accounting within
30 days after delivery of the final accounting to the
Architect by the Contractor. Based upon such Cost of the Work as
the Owner’s auditors report to be substantiated by the
Contractor’s final accounting, and provided the other
conditions of Section 12.2.1 have been met, the Architect
will, within seven days after receipt of the written report of the
Owner’s auditors, either issue to the Owner a final
Certificate for Payment with a copy to the Contractor, or notify

§ 1.1 BASIC DEFINITIONS
§ 1.1.1 THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
Documents are enumerated in the Agreement between the Owner and
Contractor (hereinafter the Agreement). 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 the advertisement
or invitation to bid, Instructions to Bidders, sample forms, other
information furnished by the Owner in anticipation of receiving
bids or proposals, the Contractor’s bid or proposal, or
portions of Addenda relating to bidding requirements.
Documents form the Contract for Construction. The Contract
agreements, either written or oral. The Contract may be amended or
modified only by a Modification. The Contract Documents shall not
be construed to create a contractual relationship or cause of
action of any kind (1) between the Contractor and the
Architect or the Architect’s consultants, (2) between
the Owner and a Subcontractor or a Sub-subcontractor,
(3) between the Owner and the Architect or the
Architect’s consultants or (4) between any persons or
entities other than the Owner and the Contractor. There are no
intended third-party beneficiaries to the Contract. The obligations
of Owner and Contractor under the Contract are intended solely for
the benefit of the other party, and any benefits arising out of
those obligations that may accrue to third parties are entirely
incidental. Notwithstanding anything else in this section to the
contrary, Contractor’s obligations include cooperation
intended to facilitate performance of the Architect’s
“Work” means the construction and services required by
the Contract Documents, and any part thereof, that are necessary in
order that such construction and services will be complete and in
conformity with the Contract Documents and all applicable safety
regulations and other regulations bearing on the means and methods
of construction, 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.
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 and by separate contractors.
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
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
Service are documentary representations, including those in
electronic form, of the tangible and intangible creative work
performed by the Architect and the Architect’s consultants in
connection with the Project under their respective professional
services agreements. Instruments of Service may include, without
limitation, studies, surveys, models, sketches, drawings,
specifications, and other similar materials.
Decision Maker is the person identified in the Agreement to render
initial decisions on Claims in accordance with Section 15.2
and certify termination of the Agreement under Section
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. Except to the extent
specifically indicated in the Contract Documents that a portion of
the work is to be the responsibility of others, the intention of
the Drawings and Specifications includes, without limitation, that
all work, equipment, casework, mechanical, electrical and similar
devices of whatever nature, be completely installed, hooked-up,
made operational and made functional for the purpose for which they
are intended, by the Contractor, and that all costs therefor are
included in the GMAX.
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.
1.2.3 Unless otherwise
stated in the Contract Documents, words that have well-known
technical or construction industry meanings are used in the
Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized
CLARIFICATIONS: The
general character of the Work is shown on the Drawings and
Specifications, but clarifications, and refinements may be made
when needed to more fully explain the Work. Provided that they were
reasonably inferable from the Drawings and Specifications that were
bid by Contractor as necessary to provide a completed and fully
operational system, facility or structure, such clarifications and
refinements shall be considered part of the scope of the Work to be
performed without adjustment in the Contract Sum, GMAX, Contract
Time or FF&E Deadlines.
DIAGRAMMATIC DEPICTIONS: Drawings, depictions and diagrams for
mechanical, plumbing and electrical work shall be considered as
diagrammatic only, not to be used for any structural guidance or
physical layout, and Contractor shall be responsible to provide any
and all numbers and lengths of mechanical, plumbing or electrical
fittings, wire, conduit, connections, attachments or similar
materials needed to complete the Work, at no adjustment to the
Contract Sum, GMAX, Contract Time or FF&E Deadlines.
capitalized in these General Conditions include those that are
(1) specifically defined, (2) the titles of numbered articles
or (3) the titles of other documents published by the American
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. Should the Contract Documents become the subject of
litigation, they shall not be construed more favorably for or
strictly against any party based on a claim that one was the
author, drafter or maker of the Contract Documents.
OWNERSHIP AND USE OF DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS
1.5.1 The owners of
Instruments of Service, including the Drawings and Specifications,
as determined by the Owner’s separate agreements with its
architect or architects, will retain all common law, statutory and
other reserved rights, including copyrights. The Contractor,
Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, and material or equipment
suppliers shall not own or claim a copyright in the Instruments of
Service. 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’ reserved
1.5.2 The Contractor,
Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors (of any tier) and material or
equipment suppliers are authorized to use and reproduce the
Instruments of Service provided to them solely and exclusively for
execution of the Work. All copies made under this authorization
shall bear the copyright notice, if any, shown on the Instruments
of Service. The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors (of
any tier), and material or equipment suppliers may not use the
Instruments of Service on other projects or for additions to this
Project outside the scope of the Work without the specific written
TRANSMISSION OF DATA IN DIGITAL FORM
intend to transmit Instruments of Service or any other information
or documentation in digital form, they shall endeavor to establish
necessary protocols governing such transmissions, unless otherwise
already provided in the Agreement or the Contract
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 Section 4.2.1, the Architect
does not have such authority. The term “Owner” means
the Owner or the Owner’s authorized
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
2.2.1 Prior to
commencement of the Work, the Contractor may request in writing
that the Owner provide reasonable evidence that the Owner has made
financial arrangements to fulfill the Owner’s obligations
under the Contract. Thereafter, the Contractor may only request
such evidence if (1) the Owner fails to make payments to the
Contractor as the Contract Documents require; (2) a change in
the Work materially changes the Contract Sum; or (3) the
Contractor identifies in writing a reasonable concern regarding the
Owner’s ability to make payment when due. The Owner shall
furnish such evidence as a condition precedent to commencement or
continuation of the Work or the portion of the Work affected by a
material change. After the Owner furnishes the evidence, the Owner
shall not materially vary such financial arrangements without prior
2.2.2 Except for permits
and fees that are the responsibility of the Contractor under the
Contract Documents, including those required under
Section 3.7.1, 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 reasonably rely on the accuracy of information furnished by the
Owner but shall exercise proper precautions relating to the safe
2.2.4 The Owner shall
furnish information or services required of the Owner by the
Contract Documents with reasonable promptness. The Owner shall also
furnish any other information or services under the Owner’s
control and relevant to the Contractor’s performance of the
Work with reasonable promptness after receiving the
Contractor’s written request for such information or
2.2.5 Unless otherwise
provided in the Contract Documents, the Owner shall furnish to the
Contractor one copy of the Contract Documents for purposes of
making reproductions pursuant to Section 1.5.2.
Contractor fails to correct Work that is not in accordance with the
requirements of the Contract Documents as required by
Section 12.2, or in response to a declaration of default by
the Owner under Section 14.2, or repeatedly fails to carry out
Work in accordance with the Contract Documents or any safety or
other regulations bearing upon the means and methods of
construction, 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. The Contractor shall not be entitled to any
adjustment of Contract Sum, GMAX, Contract Time or FF&E
Deadlines as a result of any such properly issued and justified
limitation to any of Owner’s other rights or remedies at law
or in equity, Owner shall have the right to declare Contractor to
be in default of the Contract under the circumstances set forth in
Section 14.2 of these General Conditions. Owner reserves the
right to carry out all or part of the Contractor’s Work in
accordance with the provisions of Section 14.2 of these
General Conditions or Section 6.5 of the Agreement.
OWNER’S RIGHT TO ELIMINATE PART OF THE WORK
2.5.1 Owner has the
right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to eliminate entire or
partial elements of the Work at any time prior to the
Contractor’s commencement of such elements of the Work. In
such an event, GMAX, Contract Time and FF&E Deadlines will be
adjusted downward via Construction Change Directive in an amount as
calculated under Article 7 of these General Conditions. Within
ten (10) days following such elimination, the Contractor shall
also submit a revised schedule of values to the Owner to reflect
the adjusted Work scope.
3.1.1 The Contractor is
the person or entity identified as such in the Agreement and is
number. The Contractor shall be lawfully licensed, if required in
the jurisdiction where the Project is located. The Contractor shall
designate in writing a representative who shall have express
authority to bind the Contractor with respect to all matters under
this Contract. The term “Contractor” means the
Contractor or the Contractor’s authorized
3.1.2 The Contractor
shall perform the Work in accordance with the Contract
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 or entities other than the
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. It is understood and agreed that the
relationship of the Contractor to the Owner shall be that of an
independent contractor. Nothing contained in or inferable from the
Contract Documents shall be construed to make Contractor the agent,
servant or employee of the Owner. It is understood and agreed that
any direction or instruction by Owner in respect to the Work
relates solely to the results the Owner desires to obtain from the
Work, and shall in no way affect Contractor’s status as an
independent contractor or relieve Contractor of the responsibility
for the means and methods of performing the Work. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed as limiting the Contractor’s
obligations toward the Owner that arise from the relationship of
trust and confidence set forth in Article 3 of the
REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND FIELD CONDITIONS BY
3.2.1 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, correlated
personal observations with requirements of the Contract Documents,
and has satisfied itself as to the condition thereof and that the
GMAX is just and reasonable compensation for all the Work,
including all foreseen or foreseeable risks, hazards and
difficulties in connection therewith.
3.2.2 Because the
Contract Documents are complementary, the Contractor shall, before
starting each portion of the Work, carefully study and compare the
various Contract Documents relative to that portion of the Work, as
well as the information furnished by the Owner pursuant to Section
2.2.3, shall take field measurements 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 coordination and construction by the
Contractor and are not for the purpose of discovering errors,
omissions, or inconsistencies in the Contract Documents; however,
the Contractor shall promptly, and before proceeding with the
affected portion of the Work, report to the Architect and Owner any
errors, inconsistencies or omissions discovered by or made known to
the Contractor as a request for information in such form as the
Architect may require. 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.
3.2.3 The Contractor is
not required to ascertain that the Contract Documents are in
accordance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules
and regulations, or lawful orders of public authorities, but the
Contractor shall promptly, and before proceeding with the affected
portion of the Work, report to the Architect and Owner any design
errors or omissions or any nonconformity discovered by or made
known to the Contractor as a request for information in such form
as the Architect may require. A
3.2.4 If the Contractor
believes that additional cost or time is involved because of
clarifications or instructions the Architect issues in response to
the Contractor’s notices or requests for information pursuant
to Sections 3.2.2 or 3.2.3, the Contractor shall make Claims
as provided in Article 15. If the Contractor fails to perform
the obligations of Sections 3.2.2 or 3.2.3, 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, however, if, without having
reported same to the Architect, the Contractor performs any work
involving: (i) a design error, inconsistency or omission that was
actually discovered, or which should have been discovered by the
Contractor; or (ii) a nonconformity with applicable laws,
statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, and lawful
orders of public authorities that was actually observed by the
Contractor, then the Contractor shall assume appropriate
responsibility for such Work and shall bear an appropriate share of
the costs attributable to correction, which shall not be considered
a Cost of the Work.
3.2.5 Anything to the
contrary in the Contract Documents notwithstanding, and to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the Owner disclaims any and all
implied or express warranties regarding: (i) the accuracy,
sufficiency, or completeness of the Contract Documents or any
report, survey, analysis or investigation provided to Contractor;
(ii) the constructability of the improvements depicted in the
Contract Documents; and (iii) the conditions of existing
improvements. The parties agree that any such deficiency or
condition shall not create a cause of action against Owner for
breach of express or implied warranty, misrepresentation or fraud.
If Contractor believes that it is entitled to extra time or
compensation as a result of errors in the Contract Documents,
reports, surveys, analyses, investigations, or concealed field
conditions, then Contractor shall, as a condition precedent to
seeking redress in any court, follow the claim procedures set forth
in Article 15 of these General Conditions.
SUPERVISION AND CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES
3.3.1 The Contractor
shall supervise and direct the Work, using the Contractor’s
best skill and attention and shall provide supervision sufficient
to achieve proper coordination and timely completion of the Work.
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 and 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 the required means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures without acceptance of changes proposed by the
Contractor, the Owner shall be solely responsible for any loss or
damage arising solely from those Owner-required means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures.
3.3.2 The Contractor
shall be responsible to the Owner for acts and omissions of the
Contractor’s employees, Subcontractors (of any tier) 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 (of any tier).
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.
3.3.4.1 Monthly Reports. Contractor shall prepare and submit to Owner a
monthly status report which shall include: (i) the status of
pending Change Order Requests, Change Orders, Submittals, and
Requests for Information (including a log of the dates, as
applicable of submission, initial and subsequent review, return,
resubmittal, approval, rejection, and other pertinent events
relevant to their status); (ii) the then-current Construction
Schedule; (iii) status of as-built progress including
identification of any schedule slippage that brings into jeopardy
the possibility of achieving the state of progress in the Work
required by the FF&E Deadlines or the Contract Time, as
scheduled;; (iv) a plan for bringing such activities back up
to schedule (v) identification and status of Claims; and
(vi) status of significant problems and the Contractor’s
recommendations for corrective action. Under no circumstances shall
information contained in Contractor’s monthly status report
required by this Section relieve Contractor of its obligations to
comply with, or serve as a substitute for, requirements under any
other provisions of the Contract Documents relative to timely and
complete notice to Owner of Changes, Delays, Claims, or other
3.3.4.2 Daily Reports. Contractor shall prepare daily construction
reports for every day that the Contractor claims to have been
delayed or hindered in the prosecution of the Work. The daily
reports shall, at a minimum, address the following: construction
activities and locations, construction crew sizes of Contractor and
Subcontractors (of any tier), start or completion of activities,
progress on construction activities (including portions of Work
completed), tests or inspections performed, deliveries of material
or equipment, construction equipment used, and circumstances
contributing to delays or hindrances in the prosecution of the
Work. Contractor shall provide Owner with copies of its daily
construction reports by the Monday following each week in which the
alleged delay or hindrance occurred. Under no circumstances shall
information contained in Contractor’s daily construction
report required by this Paragraph relieve Contractor of its
obligations to comply with, or serve as a substitute for,
requirements under any other provisions of the Contract Documents
relative to timely and complete notice to Owner of Changes, Delays,
Claims or other matters.
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
3.4.2 Except in the case
of minor changes in the Work authorized by the Architect in
accordance with Sections 3.12.8 or 7.4, the Contractor may
make substitutions only with the consent of the Owner, after
evaluation by the Architect and in accordance with a Change Order
or Construction Change Directive.
3.4.3 The Contractor
shall enforce strict discipline and good order among the
Contractor’s employees and other persons carrying out the
Work. The Contractor shall not permit employment of unfit persons
or persons not properly skilled in tasks assigned to
warrants to the Owner and Architect that materials and equipment
furnished under the Contract will be of good quality and new unless
the Contract Documents require or permit otherwise. The Contractor
further warrants that the Work will conform to the requirements of
the Contract Documents and will be free from defects, except for
those inherent in the quality of the Work the Contract Documents
require or permit. Work, materials, or equipment not conforming to
these requirements may be considered defective. The
Contractor’s warranty excludes remedy for damage or defect
caused by abuse, alterations to the Work 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.
shall pay sales, consumer, use and similar taxes for the Work
provided by the Contractor that are legally enacted when bids are
received or negotiations concluded, whether or not yet effective or
merely scheduled to go into effect.
PERMITS, FEES, NOTICES, AND COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
3.7.1 Unless otherwise
provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall secure and
pay for the building permit as well as for other permits, fees,
licenses, and inspections by government agencies necessary for
proper execution and completion of the Work that are customarily
secured after execution of the Contract and legally required at the
time bids are received or negotiations concluded.
3.7.2 The Contractor
shall comply with and give notices required by applicable laws,
orders of public authorities applicable to performance of the
3.7.3 It is not the
Contractor’s responsibility to ascertain that the Contract
Documents are in accordance with the applicable laws, statutes,
ordinances, building codes, and rules and regulations. However, if
the Contractor observes that portions of the Contract Documents are
at variance therewith, the Contractor shall promptly notify the
Architect and Owner in writing, and necessary changes shall be
accomplished by appropriate modifications. If the Contractor
performs Work knowing it to be contrary to applicable laws,
statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, or lawful
orders of public authorities, the Contractor shall assume
appropriate responsibility for such Work and shall bear the costs
attributable to correction.
Concealed or Unknown Conditions. If the Contractor encounters conditions at the
site that are (1) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical
conditions that differ materially from those indicated in the
Contract Documents or (2) unknown physical conditions of an
unusual nature, that 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
(collectively, “Concealed Conditions), the Contractor shall
promptly provide notice to the Owner and the Architect before
conditions are disturbed and in no event later than 21 days
after first observance of the conditions. Contractor’s notice
must include a written statement with a complete and detailed
description of the Concealed Condition, a cost breakdown setting
forth the basis of Contractor’s calculation of the costs
arising from such Concealed Condition, and information
demonstrating the effect on the Construction Schedule in the same
manner as required by the Contract Documents for obtaining
Owner’s approval for extensions of time. The Architect will
promptly investigate such conditions and, if the Architect
determines that 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 GMAX, Contract Sum, Contract Time and/or FF&E
Deadlines. 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 promptly notify the Owner and
Contractor in writing, stating the reasons. If either party
disputes the Architect’s determination or recommendation,
that party may proceed as provided in Article 15.
3.7.5 If, in the course
of the Work, the Contractor encounters human remains or recognizes
the existence of burial markers, archaeological sites or wetlands
