 § 9.2 Amounts that accrue to the Owner in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1 shall be
credited to the Owner as a deduction from the Cost of the Work. 
 ARTICLE 10 SUBCONTRACTS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS 

§ 10.1 Those portions of the Work that the Contractor does not customarily perform with the Contractor’s own personnel shall be performed under
subcontracts or by other appropriate agreements with the Contractor. The Owner may designate specific persons or entities from whom the Contractor shall obtain bids. The Contractor shall obtain bids from Subcontractors and from suppliers of
materials or equipment fabricated especially for the Work and shall deliver such bids to the Architect. The Owner shall then determine, with the advice of the Contractor and the Architect, which bids will be accepted. The Contractor shall not be
required to contract with anyone to whom the Contractor has reasonable objection. 
 § 10.2 If a specific bidder among those whose bids are
delivered by the Contractor to the Architect (1) is recommended to the Owner by the Contractor; (2) is qualified to perform that portion of the Work; and (3) has submitted a bid that conforms to the requirements of the Contract
Documents without reservations or exceptions, but the Owner requires that another bid be accepted, then the Contractor may require that a Change Order be issued to adjust the Guaranteed Maximum Price by the difference between the bid of the person
or entity recommended to the Owner by the Contractor and the amount of the subcontract or other agreement actually signed with the person or entity designated by the Owner. 
 § 10.3 Subcontracts or other agreements shall conform to the applicable payment provisions of this Agreement, and shall not be awarded on the basis of cost plus a fee without the prior consent of the
Owner. 
 ARTICLE 11 ACCOUNTING RECORDS 
 The Contractor shall keep full and detailed accounts and exercise such controls as may be necessary for proper financial management under this Contract, and the accounting and control systems shall be satisfactory to the Owner. The Owner
and the Owner’s accountants shall be afforded access to, and shall be permitted to audit and copy, the Contractor’s records, books, correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts, subcontracts, purchase orders, vouchers, memoranda and
other data relating to this Contract, and the Contractor shall preserve these for a period of seven (7) years after final payment, or for such longer period as may be required by law. 
 ARTICLE 12 PAYMENTS 
 § 12.1
PROGRESS PAYMENTS 
 § 12.1.1 Based upon Applications for Payment submitted to the Architect by the Contractor and Certificates for
Payment issued by the Architect, the Owner shall make progress payments on account of the Contract Sum to the Contractor as provided below and elsewhere in the Contract Documents. 
 § 12.1.2 The period covered by each Application for Payment shall be one calendar month ending on the last day of the month, or as follows: 
 § 12.1.3 The Contractor shall submit Applications for Payment to the Architect on the fifth
(5th) day of each month. Within ten (10) business days after receiving an Application for Payment,
supported as required by the Contract Documents, the Architect will deliver the Application to the Owner with a Certificate for Payment in the amount due the Contractor based on the Architect’s observations, inspections and evaluations of the
Work represented by the Contractor’s Application. The Owner shall pay the Contractor the amount certified by the Architect within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving an Application and Certificate for Payment from the Architect,
provided that the cost data supplied by the Contractor with the Application pursuant to subparagraph 12.1.4 supports the amount certified. In the event the Owner determines that the cost data supplied by the Contractor does not support the amount
certified, or if the Owner determines to withhold any part of the Contractor’s payment pursuant to subparagraph 9.4.3 of AIA A201, the Owner shall pay the Contractor the portion of the amount certified that the Owner determines is properly due
the Contractor, and along with the payment shall provide the Contractor with a detailed explanation for any reductions or amounts withheld and the actions required of the Contractor to entitle the Contractor to payment of the full amount certified
by the Architect.

 § 12.1.4 With each Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit payrolls, petty cash accounts,
receipted invoices or invoices with check vouchers attached, and any other evidence required by the Owner or Architect to demonstrate that cash disbursements already made by the Contractor on account of the Cost of the Work equal or exceed
(1) progress payments already received by the Contractor; less (2) that portion of those payments attributable to the Contractor’s Fee; plus (3) payrolls for the period covered by the present Application for Payment. 

§ 12.1.5 Each Application for Payment shall be based on the most recent schedule of values submitted by the Contractor in accordance with the
Contract Documents. The schedule of values shall allocate the entire Guaranteed Maximum Price among the various portions of the Work, except that the Contractor’s Fee shall be shown as a single separate item. The schedule of values shall be
prepared in such form and 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.

 § 12.1.6 Applications for Payment shall show the percentage of completion of each portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered
by the Application for Payment. The percentage of completion shall be the lesser of (1) the percentage of that portion of the Work which has actually been completed; or (2) the percentage obtained by dividing (a) the expense that has
actually been incurred by the Contractor on account of that portion of the Work for which the Contractor has made or intends to make actual payment prior to the next Application for Payment by (b) the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price
allocated to that portion of the Work in the schedule of values. 
 § 12.1.7 Subject to other provisions of the Contract Documents, the
amount of each progress payment shall be computed as follows: 
  

	 	.1	take that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to completed Work as determined by multiplying the percentage of completion of each portion of the Work by the
share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to that portion of the Work in the schedule of values. Pending final determination of cost to the Owner of changes in the Work, amounts not in dispute shall be included as provided in
Section 7.3.8 of AIA Document A201-1997; 

  

	 	.2	add that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent incorporation in the Work, or
if approved in advance by the Owner, suitably stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing; 

  

	 	.3	add the Contractor’s Fee, less retainage of ten percent ( 10% ).The Contractor’s Fee shall be computed upon the Cost of the Work described in the two preceding Clauses at
the rate stated in Section 5.1.2 or, if the Contractor’s Fee is stated as a fixed sum in that Subparagraph, shall be an amount that bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum fee as the Cost of the Work in the two preceding Clauses bears to a
reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the Work upon its completion; 

  

	 	.4	subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner; 

  

	 	.5	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 accountants in such documentation; and 

  

	 	.6	subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect has withheld or nullified a Certificate for Payment as provided in Section 9.5 of AIA Document A201-1997.

 § 12.1.8 Except with the Owner’s prior approval, payments to the Contractor for self-performed Work and to
Subcontractors shall be subject to retainage of not less than ten percent ( 10% ). The Owner and the Contractor shall agree upon a mutually acceptable procedure for review and approval of payments and retention for Subcontractors.

 § 12.1.9 In taking action on the Contractor’s Applications for Payment, the Architect shall be
entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of the information furnished by the Contractor and shall not be deemed to represent that the Architect has made a detailed examination, audit or arithmetic verification of the documentation submitted
in accordance with Section 12.1.4 or other supporting data; that the Architect has made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections or that the Architect has made examinations to ascertain how or for what purposes the Contractor has used
amounts previously paid on account of the Contract. Such examinations, audits and verifications, if required by the Owner, will be performed by the Owner’s accountants acting in the sole interest of the Owner. 
 § 12.1.10 At the discretion of the Owner, and upon written approval of the Contractor’s surety (if applicable), the retainage described in
sub-subparagraph 12.1.7.3 above may be reduced to five percent (5%) when the Project is fifty percent (50%) complete. 
 § 12.2
FINAL PAYMENT 
 § 12.2.1 Final payment, constituting the entire unpaid balance of the Contract Sum, shall be made by the Owner to
the Contractor when: 
  

	 	.1	the Contractor has fully performed the Contract except for the Contractor’s responsibility to correct Work as provided in Section 12.2.2 of AIA Document A201-1997, and to
satisfy other requirements, if any, which extend beyond final payment; and 

  

	 	.2	a final Certificate for Payment has been issued by the Architect. 

 § 12.2.2 The Owner’s final payment to the Contractor shall be made no later than 30 days after the issuance of the Architect’s final Certificate for Payment, or as follows: 
 § 12.2.3 The Owner’s accountants 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 accountants 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 accountants, either issue to the Owner a final Certificate for Payment with a copy to the Contractor, or notify the Contractor and Owner in
writing of the Architect’s reasons for withholding a certificate as provided in Section 9.5.1 of the AIA Document A201-1997. The time periods stated in this Section 12.2.3 supersede those stated in Section 9.4.1 of the AIA
Document A201-1997. 
 § 12.2.4 If the Owner’s accountants report the Cost of the Work as substantiated by the Contractor’s final
accounting to be less than claimed by the Contractor, the Contractor shall be entitled to demand resolution of the disputed amount under paragraphs 4.5 and 4.6 of AIA A201, without a further decision of the Architect. Such demand shall be made by
the Contractor within 30 days after the Contractor’s receipt of a copy of the Architect’s final Certificate for Payment; failure to demand resolution within this 30-day period shall result in the substantiated amount reported by the
Owner’s accountants becoming binding on the Contractor. Pending a final resolution, the Owner shall pay the Contractor the amount certified in the Architect’s final Certificate for Payment. 
 § 12.2.5 If, subsequent to final payment and at the Owner’s request, the Contractor incurs costs described in Article 7 and not excluded by Article
8 to correct defective or nonconforming Work, the Owner shall reimburse the Contractor such costs and the Contractor’s Fee applicable thereto on the same basis as if such costs had been incurred prior to final payment, but not in excess of the
Guaranteed Maximum Price. If the Contractor has participated in savings as provided in Section 5.2, the amount of such savings shall be recalculated and appropriate credit given to the Owner in determining the net amount to be paid by the Owner
to the Contractor. 
 ARTICLE 13 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION 
 § 13.1 The Contract may be terminated by the Contractor, or by the Owner for convenience, as provided in Article 14 of AIA Document A201-1997. However, the amount to be paid to the Contractor under
Section 14.1.3 of AIA Document A201-1997 shall not exceed the amount the Contractor would be entitled to receive under Section 13.2 below, except that the Contractor’s Fee shall be calculated as if the Work had been fully completed by
the Contractor, including a reasonable estimate of the Cost of the Work for Work not actually completed.

 § 13.2 The Contract may be terminated by the Owner for cause as provided in Article 14 of AIA Document
A201-1997. The amount, if any, to be paid to the Contractor under Section 14.2.4 of AIA Document A201-1997 shall not cause the Guaranteed Maximum Price to be exceeded, nor shall it exceed an amount calculated as follows: 
 § 13.2.1 Take the Cost of the Work incurred by the Contractor to the date of termination; 
 § 13.2.2 Add the Contractor’s Fee computed upon the Cost of the Work to the date of termination at the rate stated in Section 5.1.2 or, if the Contractor’s Fee is stated as a fixed sum
in that Section, an amount that bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum Fee as the Cost of the Work at the time of termination bears to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the Work upon its completion; and 
 § 13.2.3 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner. 
 § 13.3 The Owner shall also pay the Contractor fair compensation, either by purchase or rental at the election of the Owner, for any equipment owned by the Contractor that the Owner elects to retain
and that is not otherwise included in the Cost of the Work under Section 13.2.1. To the extent that the Owner elects to take legal assignment of subcontracts and purchase orders (including rental agreements), the Contractor shall, as a
condition of receiving the payments referred to in this Article 13, execute and deliver all such papers and take all such steps, including the legal assignment of such subcontracts and other contractual rights of the Contractor, as the Owner may
require for the purpose of fully vesting in the Owner the rights and benefits of the Contractor under such subcontracts or purchase orders. 
 § 13.4 The Work may be suspended by the Owner as provided in Article 14 of AIA Document A201-1997; in such case, the Guaranteed Maximum Price and Contract Time shall be increased as provided in Section 14.3.2 of AIA
Document A201-1997 except that the term “profit” shall be understood to mean the Contractor’s Fee as described in Sections 5.1.2 and Section 6.4 of this Agreement.

 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, Schedules, 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 Bidders, sample forms, the Contractor’s bid or portions of Addenda relating to bidding requirements). 
 § 1.1.2 THE CONTRACT 
 The Contract Documents form the
Contract for Construction. The Contract represents the entire and integrated agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes prior negotiations, representations or agreements, either written or oral. The Contract may be amended or modified only
by a Modification. 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. Work includes coordination of work of other trades. Although not indicated, work includes providing supplementary or miscellaneous
items, appurtenances and devices incidental to or necessary for a sound, secure and complete installation. 
 § 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. In the event of discrepancies between or within Contract Documents, the Contractor shall provide the better quality or greater quantity and shall comply with the more stringent requirements. 
 § 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 which have well-known technical or
construction industry meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings. 
 § 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 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. 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. 
 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 Section 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 Section 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
provided that the Contractor has diligently reviewed the information and has informed the Owner in writing if it has actual knowledge of incorrect information. The Contractor 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 Section 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 Section 6.1.3. 
 § 2.4
OWNER’S RIGHT TO CARRY OUT THE WORK 
 § 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. 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. 
 § 2.5 EXTENT OF OWNER’S RIGHTS 
 § 2.5.1 In no event shall the Owner have control over, charge of, or any responsibility for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the
Work, which are the sole responsibility of the Contractor, notwithstanding any of the rights and authority granted the Owner in the Contract Documents.

 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, 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 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
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 Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2, the Contractor shall make Claims as
provided in Sections 4.3.6 and 4.3.7. If the Contractor fails to perform the obligations of Sections 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. 
 § 3.3 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 the 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.

 § 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.

 § 3.7.2 The Contractor shall comply with and give notices required by laws, ordinances,
rules, regulations and lawful orders of public authorities applicable to performance of the Work.

variance therewith, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Architect and Owner in writing, and necessary changes shall be accomplished by appropriate Modification. 
 § 3.7.4 If the Contractor performs Work knowing it to be contrary to laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, and rules and regulations without such notice to the Architect and Owner, the
Contractor shall assume appropriate responsibility for such Work and shall bear the costs attributable to correction. 
 § 3.8 ALLOWANCES

 § 3.8.1 The Contractor shall include in the Contract Sum all allowances stated in the Contract Documents. Items covered by allowances
shall be supplied for such amounts and by such persons or entities as the Owner may direct, but the Contractor shall not be required to employ persons or entities to whom the Contractor has reasonable objection.

 § 3.12.3 Samples are physical examples which illustrate materials, equipment or workmanship and
establish standards by which the Work will be judged. 
 § 3.12.4 Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals are not
Contract Documents. The purpose of their submittal is to demonstrate for those portions of the Work for which submittals are required by the Contract Documents the way by which the Contractor proposes to conform to the information given and the
design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. Review by the Architect is subject to the limitations of Section 4.2.7. Informational submittals upon which the Architect is not expected to take responsive action may be so identified in the
Contract Documents. Submittals which are not required by the Contract Documents may be returned by the Architect without action. 
 § 3.12.5
The Contractor shall review for compliance with the Contract Documents, approve and submit to the Architect Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals required by the Contract Documents with reasonable promptness and in such
sequence as to cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of the Owner or of separate contractors. Submittals which are not marked as reviewed for compliance with the Contract Documents and approved by the Contractor may be returned by the
Architect without action. 
 § 3.12.6 By approving and submitting Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals, the
Contractor represents that the Contractor has determined and verified materials, field measurements and field construction criteria related thereto, or will do so, and has checked and coordinated the information contained within such submittals with
the requirements of the Work and of the Contract Documents. 
 § 3.12.7 The Contractor shall perform no portion of the Work for which the
Contract Documents require submittal and review of Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals until the respective submittal has been approved by the Architect. 
 § 3.12.8 The Work shall be in accordance with approved submittals except that the Contractor shall not be relieved of responsibility for deviations from requirements of the Contract Documents by the
Architect’s approval of Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals unless the Contractor has specifically informed the Architect in writing of such deviation at the time of submittal and (1) the Architect has given written
approval to the specific deviation as a minor change in the Work, or (2) a Change Order or Construction Change Directive has been issued authorizing the deviation. The Contractor shall not be relieved of responsibility for errors or omissions
in Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals by the Architect’s approval thereof. 
 § 3.12.9 The Contractor shall
direct specific attention, in writing or on resubmitted Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or similar submittals, to revisions other than those requested by the Architect on previous submittals. In the absence of such written notice the
Architect’s approval of a resubmission shall not apply to such revisions. 
 § 3.12.10 The Contractor shall not be required to provide
professional services 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 Section 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 information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall not be responsible for the adequacy of the performance or design criteria required by the Contract Documents.

the Contractor’s consent to cutting or otherwise altering the Work. 
 § 3.15 CLEANING UP 
 § 3.15.1 The Contractor shall keep the premises and surrounding area free from accumulation of waste materials or rubbish caused by operations under the

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.

attorneys’ fees, arising out of or resulting from performance of the Work, provided that such claim, damage, loss or expense is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death, or to injury to or destruction of tangible property
(other than the Work itself), including loss of use therefrom, but only to the extent caused by the negligent acts or omissions of the Contractor, a Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose acts they may be
liable, regardless of whether or not such claim, damage, loss or expense is caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder. Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of indemnity which would
otherwise exist as to a party or person described in this Section 3.18.

 ARTICLE 4 ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACT 
 § 4.1 ARCHITECT 
 § 4.1.1 The Architect is the person lawfully licensed to practice architecture or an entity lawfully practicing architecture identified as such in the
Agreement and is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in number. The term “Architect” means the Architect or the Architect’s authorized representative. 
 § 4.1.2 Duties, responsibilities and limitations of authority of the Architect as set forth in the Contract Documents shall not be restricted, modified
or extended without written consent of the Owner, Contractor and Architect. Consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 § 4.1.3 If the
employment of the Architect is terminated, the Owner shall employ a new Architect against whom the Contractor has no reasonable objection and whose status under the Contract Documents shall be that of the former Architect. 
 § 4.2 ARCHITECT’S ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACT 
 § 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 Section 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 Contractor’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 use reasonable care 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 Section 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 Documents. The Architect will not have control over or charge of and will not be responsible for acts or omissions of the Contractor,
Subcontractors, or their agents or employees, or any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work. 
 § 4.2.4 Communications
Facilitating Contract Administration. Except as otherwise provided in the Contract Documents or when direct communications have been specially authorized, the Owner and Contractor shall endeavor to communicate with each other through the Architect
about matters arising out of or relating to the Contract. Communications by and with the Architect’s consultants shall be through the Architect. Communications by and with Subcontractors and material suppliers shall be through the Contractor.
Communications by and with separate contractors shall be through the Owner. 
 § 4.2.5 Based on the Architect’s evaluations of the
Contractor’s Applications for Payment, the Architect will review and certify the amounts due the Contractor and will issue Certificates for Payment in such amounts. 
 § 4.2.6 The Architect will 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 Sections 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 or
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 Sections 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 Section 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 Section 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 be in writing or in the form of drawings.
When making such interpretations and initial decisions, the Architect will endeavor to secure faithful performance by both Owner and Contractor, will not show partiality to either and will not be liable for results of interpretations or decisions so
rendered in good faith. 
 §
 § 4.3
CLAIMS AND DISPUTES 
 § 4.3.1 Definition. A Claim is a demand or assertion by one of the parties 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 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. All Claims must be supported by (a) a detailed
chronology of the events comprising the Claim, and (b) copies of all documents supporting the Claim including, but not limited to, applicable provisions of the Contract Documents, submittals, Requests for Information, Bulletin Drawings,
correspondence, Construction Change Directives and other documents. The Architect shall have no obligation to review a Claim that is not supported as required by this subparagraph 4.3.1 or to take any of the actions specified in subparagraphs 4.4.1,
4.4.2, 4.4.5 and 4.5.1, and the time periods set forth in those subparagraphs shall not apply until the Architect determines that the Claim has been supported as required by this subparagraph 4.3.1. The Architect’s determination of such
compliance is a condition precedent to the claimant’s entitlement to mediation, arbitration or the institution of legal or equitable proceedings to resolve a 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; providing, however, that the claimant shall use its best efforts to furnish the Architect, as
expeditiously as possible, with notice of any Claim once such Claim is recognized, and shall use its best effort to mitigate the alleged or potential damages, delay or other adverse consequences arising out of the condition which is the cause of any
such claim. 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 Section 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) subsurface 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 Section 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 Section 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 Section 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 period of
time, could not have been reasonably anticipated and had an adverse effect on the scheduled construction. Only delay impacting the critical path of the Work shall be considered in determining whether the Contractor is entitled to additional time.

 § 4.3.7.3 Acceptable data for substantiating a claim for additional time due to abnormal weather conditions will be the records of the
National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for the prior 5 years. In the absence of NOAA records for the Project site, local official records will be acceptable.

 § 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. 
 §
 § 4.4 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 Sections 10.3
through 10.5, shall be referred initially to the Architect for decision. A written 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 twenty-one (21) 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 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 paragraphs 4.5 and 4.6. If a written request for dispute resolution is not filed
within 30 days after the Architect’s written decision in accordance with paragraph 4.5.1, the Architect’s decision shall become final and binding upon the Owner and Contractor. 
 §
 § 4.4.7 Upon receipt of a Claim against the Contractor 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 Sections 4.3.10, 9.10.4 and 9.10.5 shall, after written decision by the Architect or 30 days after submission of the
Claim to the Architect in accordance with subparagraph 4.3.1, be subject to mediation as a condition precedent to arbitration or the institution of legal or equitable proceedings by either party.

 § 4.5.2 If a Claim involves the Architect, then upon written request of the Owner or Contractor, the
Architect shall become a party to the dispute resolution. 
 § 4.5.2.1 Any mediation conducted pursuant to this sub-subparagraph 4.5.2.1
shall be held in accordance with the Construction Industry Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association currently in effect, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. Demand for mediation shall be filed in writing with the other party
to this Agreement and with the American Arbitration Association, or another dispute resolution organization as agreed by the parties. In no event shall the demand for mediation be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable
proceedings based upon such Claim would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. 
 § 4.5.3 In any mediation, 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 relating to this Contract, the Project, the Work or the Contract Documents that is not resolved through mediation shall be litigated unless by mutual agreement, the
Parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration under the auspices and rules of the American Arbitration Association or another dispute resolution organization as agreed by the parties. All fees in connection therewith shall be borne
equally by the parties. Any award rendered shall be final and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law by any court having jurisdiction. If any Claim submitted to arbitration involves the Architect, the Architect may be
joined in the proceeding. If the Architect is found to have no liability, the party joining the Architect agrees to indemnify the Architect for all loss, cost, damage and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Architect
as a result of being joined in the proceeding.

 § 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. 
 § 5.3 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 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.

 § 5.3.2 Each subcontract shall be in writing and shall specifically provide that the Owner is an intended third-party beneficiary of such
subcontract. 
 § 5.3.3 The Contractor will provide copies of its subcontracts, agreements and current information on the status of its
accounts upon demand by the Owner. 
 § 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 Section 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 Section 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 Owner 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. 
 § 6.1.5 The Contractor accepts assignment of, and liability for, all purchase orders and other agreements for procurement of materials and equipment that are identified as part of the Contract Documents. The Contractor
shall be responsible for such pre-purchased items, if any, as if the Contractor were the original purchaser. The Contract Sum includes, without limitation, all costs and expenses in connection with delivery, storage, insurance, installation and
testing of items covered in any assigned purchase orders or agreements. All warranty and correction of the Work obligations under the Contract Documents shall also apply to any pre-purchased items, unless the Contract Documents specifically provide
otherwise. 
 § 6.2 MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY 
 § 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 Section 10.2.5. 
 § 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 Section 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 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 Section 7.3.3. 
 § 7.2.3 A Change Order, when issued, shall be full compensation, or credit, for the extra work included, omitted, or substituted. It shall show on its face the adjustment in time for completion of the Project as a result of
the change in the Work. Each Change Order shall include all costs related thereto, including all overhead, miscellaneous expenses and incidentals. 
 § 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:

 § 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 Section 7.3.3.3, the Contractor 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 Section 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 the Contractor to the Owner for a deletion or change which results in a net decrease in the 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. 
 § 8.1.3 The date of Substantial Completion is the date certified by the Architect in accordance with Section 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 11 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. 

§ 8.2.4 If the progress or completion of the Work be delayed by any fault, neglect, wrongful act or failure to act, on the part of the Contractor or
anyone acting for or on behalf of the Contractor, then the Contractor shall, at its own cost, work such overtime or require the appropriate subcontractor to work such overtime as may be necessary to make up for all time lost and to avoid delay in
the progress and completion of the Work. 
 § 8.2.5 Should the progress or completion of the Work be delayed by any fault, neglect, act or
failure to act on the part of the Contractor or anyone acting for or on behalf of the Contractor so as to cause any additional cost, expense, liability or damage to the Owner or any damage or additional cost or expense for which the Owner may or
shall become liable, the Contractor shall and does hereby agree to compensate the Owner for and to indemnify the Owner against all such cost, expenses, liabilities and damages. 
 § 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. Time extensions will not be granted for delays caused by the Contractor or any entity directly or indirectly under the control
of the Contractor. 
 § 8.3.1.1 Time extensions approved by the Architect will extend the Contract Time only and will not justify a request
by the Contractor for additional money for duration related costs, except to the extent the Contractor establishes to the Architect’s and the Owner’s satisfaction that any additional duration related costs claimed were necessarily incurred
as a result of the extension of time, and that the claimed costs are reasonable. 
 § 8.3.1.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Contract Documents but subject to sub-subparagraph 8.3.1.1 above, if the Contractor is delayed in the progress of the Work for any reason, including any act or omission of the Owner or the Architect or any entity for which either may be responsible,
an extension of the Contract Time shall be the Contractor’s exclusive remedy and the Contractor waives any right it might otherwise have to damages due to delays or disruptions of any kind to all or any part of the Work, including any
acceleration of all or any part of the Work arising as a result of any delay. 
 § 8.3.2 Claims relating to time shall be made in accordance
with applicable provisions of Section 4.3. 
 § 8.3.3 The Contractor shall bear the cost of any reasonable additional services of the
Architect made necessary by delays in completion of the Work due to actions or inactions of the Contractor or any subcontractors. The Contractor shall promptly pay any such costs upon demand by the Owner. At the Owner’s option, these costs may
be deducted from any amounts otherwise due the Contractor. 
 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 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, the Contractor shall submit to the Architect an itemized Application for Payment for operations completed in accordance
with the schedule of values. 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 Section 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, 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. 
 § 9.3.2.1 In requesting payment for materials stored on or off the site, the Contractor shall submit with
its Application for Payment an itemized list of the stored materials prepared in sufficient detail to identify the materials and their value. Evidence such as bills of sale or other proof that the materials listed have been paid for by the
Contractor may be requested by the Owner or Architect. 
 § 9.3.2.2 For materials stored off the site, the Contractor shall submit with its
Application for Payment evidence that the materials are stored at the location previously agreed to in writing; that the storage location is bonded; that the materials are insured while in storage and while in transit to the site; and that
transportation to the site will be provided. No payment will be certified for material stored off the site until the storage location has been agreed upon in writing and the other requirements of this subparagraph have been fulfilled. 
 § 9.3.3 The Contractor warrants that title to all Work covered by an Application for Payment will pass to the Owner 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 If any subcontractor, laborer or materialman of the Contractor or any person directly or
indirectly acting for, through or under it or any of them, serves a notice of claim of lien on funds, files or maintains a mechanic’s lien or claim against the Project or any part thereof, or against any funds due or to become due from the
Owner to the Contractor, the Contractor agrees to cause such liens and claims to be satisfied, removed or discharged at its own expense by bond, payment or otherwise within ten (10) days from the date of notice thereof, and upon its failure so
to do the Owner shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided under the Contract Documents or by law, to cause such liens or claims to be satisfied, removed or discharged by whatever means the Owner chooses, at the
entire cost and expense of the Contractor (such cost and expense to include legal fees and disbursements). The Contractor agrees to indemnify, protect and save harmless the Owner from and against any and all such liens and claims and actions brought
or judgments rendered thereon, and from and against any and all loss, damages, liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees and disbursements, which the Owner may sustain or incur in connection therewith. 
 § 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 Section 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 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. 
 § 9.4.3 The Owner may withhold payment to the Contractor notwithstanding the Architect’s certification if it is necessary in the Owner’s
opinion to do so to protect the Owner from loss due to any of the reasons set forth in subparagraph 9.5.1. 
 § 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 Section 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 Section 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 Section 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. 

 § 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 or amounts applied for by the Contractor and action 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 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 Sections 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. The Owner’s receiving a Certificates of Occupancy is a condition precedent to the Contractor’s achieving Substantial Completion.

 § 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 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. 
 § 9.8.3.1 If more than two inspections by the Architect are necessary, such additional inspections will be done at the Contractor’s expense. The Architect’s fees and expenses for any such
additional inspections will be deducted from amounts due the Contractor on the subsequent Application for Payment. 
 § 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 Section 11.4.1.5 and authorized by public authorities having jurisdiction
over the Work. Such partial occupancy or use may commence whether or not the portion is substantially complete, provided the Owner and Contractor 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, 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 Section 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 
 § 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 Section 9.10.2 as precedent to the Contractor’s being entitled to final payment have been fulfilled. 
 § 9.10.1.1 All warranties and guarantees required under the Contract Documents shall be assembled and delivered by the Contractor to the Architect as part of the final Application for Payment. The final Certificate for
Payment will not be issued by the Architect until all warranties and guarantees have been received and accepted by the Owner. 
 § 9.10.1.2
If more than two inspections by the Architect are necessary, such additional inspections will be done at the Contractor’s expense. The Architect’s fees and expenses for any such additional inspections will be deducted from amounts due the
Contractor on the final Application for Payment. 
 § 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

emergency affecting safety of persons or property, the Contractor shall act, at the Contractor’s discretion, to prevent threatened damage, injury or loss. Additional compensation or extension of time claimed by the Contractor on account of an

 § 11.3 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PROTECTIVE LIABILITY INSURANCE 
 § 11.3.1 Optionally, the Owner may require the Contractor to purchase and maintain Project Management Protective Liability insurance from the
Contractor’s usual sources as primary coverage for the Owner’s, Contractor’s and Architect’s vicarious liability for construction operations under the Contract. Unless 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 Sections 11.1.1.2 through 11.1.1.5. 
 § 11.3.2 To the extent damages are covered by Project Management Protective Liability insurance, the Owner, Contractor and Architect waive all rights
against each other for damages, except such rights as they may have to the proceeds of such insurance. The policy shall provide for such waivers of subrogation by endorsement or otherwise. 
 § 11.3.3 The Owner shall not require the Contractor to include the Owner, Architect or other persons or entities as additional insureds on the
Contractor’s Liability Insurance coverage under Section 11.1, if Project Management Protective Liability insurance is purchased as described herein. 
 § 11.4 PROPERTY INSURANCE 
 § 11.4.1 Unless otherwise provided, the Owner shall purchase and maintain, in a
company or companies lawfully authorized to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Project is located, property insurance written on a builder’s risk “all-risk” or equivalent policy form in the amount of the initial Contract
Sum, 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 Section 9.10 or until
no person or entity other than the Owner has an insurable interest in the property required by this Section 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 thereto. 
 § 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.

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 Documents 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 Section 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 Section 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 canceled 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 Section 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,
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, did not pay the insurance premium directly or indirectly, and
whether or not the person or entity had an 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 mortgagee clause and of Section 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-subcontractors 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 Section 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.

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 shall be at the Contractor’s expense unless the condition was caused by the Owner or a separate contractor in

date for commencement of warranties established under Section 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, after discovery of the condition, 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

 § 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 Section 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 Section 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 Section 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 specifically to correct the Work. 
 § 12.3 ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORMING WORK

 § 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 adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made. 
 ARTICLE 13 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 § 13.1 GOVERNING LAW 
 § 13.1.1 The Contract shall be governed by the law of the place where the Project is
located. 
 § 13.2 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS 
 § 13.2.1 The Owner and Contractor respectively bind themselves, their partners, successors, assigns and legal representatives to the other party hereto and to partners, successors, assigns and legal representatives of such
other party in respect to covenants, agreements and obligations contained in the Contract Documents. Except as provided in Section 13.2.2, neither party to the Contract shall assign the Contract as a whole without written consent of the other.
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. 
 § 13.3 WRITTEN NOTICE 
 § 13.3.1 Written notice shall be deemed to have been duly served if delivered in
person to the individual or a member of the firm or entity or to an officer of the corporation for which it was intended, or if delivered at or sent by registered or certified mail to the last business address known to the party giving notice.

 § 13.4 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

 § 13.4.2 No action or failure to act by the Owner, Architect or Contractor shall constitute a waiver of
a right or duty afforded them under the Contract, nor shall such action or failure to act constitute approval of or acquiescence in a breach thereunder, except as may be specifically agreed in writing. 
 § 13.4.3 If any provision of the Contract Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any law, such provision shall be fully
severable, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. 
 § 13.5 TESTS AND INSPECTIONS 
 § 13.5.1 Tests, inspections and approvals of portions of the Work required by the Contract Documents or by laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders
of public authorities having jurisdiction shall be made at an appropriate time. Unless otherwise provided, the Contractor shall make arrangements for such tests, inspections and approvals with an independent testing laboratory or entity acceptable
to the Owner, or with the appropriate public authority, and shall bear all related costs of tests, inspections and approvals. The Contractor shall give the Architect timely notice of when and where tests and inspections are to be made so that the
Architect may be present for such procedures. The Owner shall bear costs of tests, inspections or approvals which do not become requirements until after bids are received or negotiations concluded. 
 § 13.5.2 If the Architect, Owner or public authorities having jurisdiction determine that portions of the Work require additional testing, inspection or
approval not included under Section 13.5.1, the Architect will, upon written authorization from the Owner, instruct the Contractor to make arrangements for such additional testing, inspection or approval by an entity acceptable to the Owner,
and the Contractor shall give timely notice to the Architect of when and where tests and inspections are to be made so that the Architect may be present for such procedures. Such costs, except as provided in Section 13.5.3, shall be at the
Owner’s expense. 
 § 13.5.3 If such procedures for testing, inspection or approval under Sections 13.5.1 and 13.5.2 reveal failure of
the portions of the Work to comply with requirements established by the Contract Documents, all costs made necessary by such failure including those of repeated procedures and compensation for the Architect’s services and expenses shall be at
the Contractor’s expense. 
 § 13.5.4 Required certificates of testing, inspection or approval shall, unless otherwise required by the
Contract Documents, be secured by the Contractor and promptly delivered to the Architect. 
 § 13.5.5 If the Architect is to observe tests,
inspections or approvals required by the Contract Documents, the Architect will do so promptly and, where practicable, at the normal place of testing. 
 § 13.5.6 Tests or inspections conducted pursuant to the Contract Documents shall be made promptly to avoid unreasonable delay in the Work. 
 § 13.6 INTEREST 
 § 13.6.1 Payments due and unpaid under the Contract Documents shall bear
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 time at the place where the Project is located. 
 § 13.7 COMMENCEMENT OF STATUTORY LIMITATION PERIOD 
 § 13.7.1 
 § 13.8 Project Records. The Contractor and its subcontractors shall maintain the
following Project records: bid estimates, payment records, payroll records, meeting minutes, daily reports, logs, diaries, schedules, internal correspondence, notes and memoranda and all correspondence between and among all of the parties involved
in the Project including but not limited to all lower tier subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers and vendors, the Architect and the Owner. These Project records shall be made readily available to the Owner upon request for a period of seven
(7) years after final completion of the Project.

 ARTICLE 14 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE CONTRACT 
 § 14.1 TERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTOR 
 § 14.1.1 The Contractor may terminate the Contract if the Work is stopped for a period of 30 consecutive days through no act or fault of the Contractor or a Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor or their agents or employees or
any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work under direct or indirect contract with the Contractor, for any of the following reasons: 
  

	 	.1	issuance of an order of a court or other public authority having jurisdiction which requires all Work to be stopped; 

  

	 	.2	an act of government, such as a declaration of national emergency which requires all Work to be stopped; 

  

	 	.3	because the Architect has not issued a Certificate for Payment and has not notified the Contractor of the reason for withholding certification as provided in Section 9.4.1, or
because the Owner has not made payment on a Certificate for Payment within the time stated in the Contract Documents; or 

  

	 	.4	the Owner has failed to furnish to the Contractor promptly, upon the Contractor’s request, reasonable evidence as required by Section 2.2.1. 

 § 14.1.2 The Contractor may terminate the Contract if, through no act or fault of the Contractor or a Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor or their agents
or employees or any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work under direct or indirect contract with the Contractor, repeated suspensions, delays or interruptions of the entire Work by the Owner as described in Section 14.3
constitute in the aggregate more than 100 percent of the total number of days scheduled for completion, or 120 days in any 365-day period, whichever is less. 
 § 14.1.3 If one of the reasons described in Section 14.1.1 or 14.1.2 exists, the Contractor may, upon seven days’ written notice to the Owner and Architect, terminate the Contract and recover from the Owner
payment for Work executed and for proven loss with respect to materials, equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery, including reasonable overhead, profit and damages. 
 § 14.1.4 If the Work is stopped for a period of 60 consecutive days through no act or fault of the Contractor or a Subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other persons performing portions
of the Work under contract with the Contractor because the Owner has persistently failed to fulfill the Owner’s obligations under the Contract Documents with respect to matters important to the progress of the Work, the Contractor may, upon
seven additional days’ written notice to the Owner and the Architect, terminate the Contract and recover from the Owner as provided in Section 14.1.3. 
 § 14.2 TERMINATION BY THE OWNER FOR CAUSE 
 § 14.2.1 The Owner may terminate the Contract
if the Contractor: 
  

	 	.1	persistently or repeatedly refuses or fails to supply enough properly skilled workers or proper materials; 

  

	 	.2	fails to make payment to Subcontractors for materials or labor in accordance with the respective agreements between the Contractor and the Subcontractors; 

 

	 	.3	persistently disregards laws, ordinances, or rules, regulations or orders of a public authority having jurisdiction; or 

  

	 	.4	otherwise is guilty of substantial breach of a provision of the Contract Documents. 

 § 14.2.2 When any of the above reasons exist, the Owner, upon certification by the Architect that sufficient cause exists to justify such action, may without prejudice to any other rights or remedies
of the Owner and after giving the Contractor and the Contractor’s surety, if any, seven days’ written notice, terminate employment of the Contractor and may, subject to any prior rights of the surety: 
  

	 	.1	take possession of the site and of all materials, equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Contractor; 

  

	 	.2	accept assignment of subcontracts pursuant to Section 5.4; and 

  

	 	.3	finish the Work by whatever reasonable method the Owner may deem expedient. Upon request of the Contractor, the Owner shall furnish to the Contractor a detailed accounting of the
costs incurred by the Owner in finishing the Work. 

 § 14.2.3 When the Owner terminates the Contract for one of the reasons
stated in Section 14.2.1, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive further payment until the Work is finished.

 § 14.2.4 If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum exceeds costs of finishing the Work, including
compensation for the Architect’s services and expenses made necessary thereby, and other damages incurred by the Owner and not expressly waived, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such costs and damages exceed the unpaid balance,
the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner. The amount to be paid to the Contractor or Owner, as the case may be, shall be certified by the Architect, upon application, and this obligation for payment shall survive termination of the
Contract. 
 § 14.2.5 The Contractor shall bear the costs of any additional services of the Architect resulting from the Owner’s
termination of the Contract pursuant to this paragraph 14.2. 
 § 14.2.6 In the event the Owner’s termination for cause set out in
paragraph 14.2.2 is deemed invalid or unjustified, then such termination shall automatically become a termination for convenience under paragraph 14.4. 
 § 14.3 SUSPENSION BY THE OWNER FOR CONVENIENCE 
 § 14.3.1 The Owner may, without cause,
order the Contractor in writing to suspend, delay or interrupt the Work in whole or in part for such period of time as the Owner may determine. 
 § 14.3.2 The Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be adjusted for increases in the cost and time caused by suspension, delay or interruption as described in Section 14.3.1. Adjustment of the Contract Sum shall include
profit. No adjustment shall be made to the extent: 

	 	.1	that performance is, was or would have been so suspended, delayed or interrupted by another cause for which the Contractor is responsible; or 

	 	.2	that an equitable adjustment is made or denied under another provision of the Contract. 

 § 14.4 TERMINATION BY THE OWNER FOR CONVENIENCE 
 § 14.4.1 The
Owner may, at any time, terminate the Contract for the Owner’s convenience and without cause. 
 § 14.4.2 Upon receipt of written notice
from the Owner of such termination for the Owner’s convenience, the Contractor shall: 

	 	.1	cease operations as directed by the Owner in the notice; 

	 	.2	take actions necessary, or that the Owner may direct, for the protection and preservation of the Work; and 

	 	.3	except for Work directed to be performed prior to the effective date of termination stated in the notice, terminate all existing subcontracts and purchase orders and enter
into no further subcontracts and purchase orders. 

 § 14.4.3 In case of such termination for the Owner’s convenience,
the Contractor shall be entitled to receive payment for Work executed, and actual costs incurred by reason of such termination.

 Exhibit 10.23 
 Description of Annual Cash Incentive Program 
 Targacept, Inc. (the “Company”) maintains an
incentive award program (the “Program”) under which all of its employees, including its named executive officers, are eligible to receive an annual cash incentive bonus. Under the terms of the Program, each employee is assigned a target
bonus percentage of his or her base salary. The target bonus percentages for the Company’s named executive officers (and other members of its executive (management) committee) are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors. At or about the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee establishes performance objectives for the Company for that year and ascribes a percentage weight to each objective. The aggregate weight for all of the performance
objectives is at least equal to, and may exceed, 100%. Following the end of the fiscal year, the Compensation Committee determines which of the specified objectives have been met, the circumstances surrounding any objectives that have not been met
(which may include, for example, a strategic change that occurred during the year) and whether, taking into account the circumstances, the objective should be credited, and the extent to which any adjustment should be made for other Company
accomplishments that occurred during the year. The Compensation Committee then sets the cash incentive bonus percentage to be applied under the Program for that year. 
 For a group of employees that includes the Company’s named executive officers, the annual cash incentive bonus is determined based wholly on the cash incentive bonus percentage set by the Compensation Committee
as described above. Accordingly, the annual cash incentive bonus for a particular year for each employee in this group is determined by multiplying the amount of his or her base salary for that year times his or her target bonus percentage times the
cash incentive bonus percentage set by the Compensation Committee. For the Company’s remaining employees, 50% of the annual cash incentive bonus is based on the cash incentive bonus percentage set by the Compensation Committee and the other 50%
is based on individual performance.
