Documents. Whenever the Architect considers it necessary or advisable, the Architect shall have
the authority to require inspection or testing of the Work in accordance with the provisions of the
Contract Documents, whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed. However,
neither this authority of the Architect nor a decision made in good faith either to exercise or not
to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Architect to the
Contractor, Subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, their agents or employees or other
persons or entities performing portions of the Work. The Architect shall advise the Owner, in
writing, of the reasons for the rejection of any Work. Such shall be done in a timely fashion so
as to allow the Owner to advise the Contractor.

§ 3.6.2.3 The Architect shall interpret and decide matters concerning performance under, and

intent expressed in the Contract Documents.

§ 3.6.2.5 Unless the Owner and Contractor designate another person to serve as an Initial Decision
Maker, as that term is defined in AIA Document A201—2007, the Architect shall render initial
decisions on Claims between the Owner and Contractor as provided in the Contract Documents,

§ 3.6.3 CERTIFICATES FOR PAYMENT TO CONTRACTOR

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

§ 3.6.3.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation that the
Architect has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality of the

ARTICLE 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS

§ 1.1 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES

The Construction Manager accepts the relationship of trust and confidence established with the
Owner by this Agreement, and covenants with the Owner to furnish the Construction Manager’s
reasonable skill and judgment and to cooperate with the Architect in furthering the interests of
the Owner. The Construction Manager shall furnish construction administration and management
services and use the Construction Manager’s best efforts to perform the Project in an expeditious
and economical manner consistent with the interests of the Owner. The Owner shall endeavor to
promote harmony and cooperation among the Owner, Architect, Construction Manager and other persons
or entities employed by the Owner for the Project.

§ 1.2 GENERAL CONDITIONS

For the Construction Phase, the General Conditions of the contract shall be the AIA® Document
A201TM–2007, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, as amended which is incorporated
herein by reference. For the Preconstruction Phase, or in the event that the Preconstruction and
Construction Phases proceed concurrently, A201TM–2007, as amended shall apply to the Preconstruction
Phase only as specifically provided in this Agreement. The term “Contractor” as used in
A201TM–2007, as amended shall mean the Construction Manager. When a Guaranteed Maximum Price has
been agreed to between the parties, in instances where the term “Contract Sum” is used in the AIA
Document A201 without any additional reference to the Guaranteed Maximum Price, the term “Contract
Sum” shall nevertheless be determined to mean the Guaranteed Maximum Price or “GMP”.

ARTICLE 2 CONSTRUCTION MANAGER’S RESPONSIBILITIES

The Construction Manager shall perform the services described in this Article. The services to be
provided under Sections 2.1 and 2.2 constitute the Preconstruction Phase services. If the Owner
and Construction Manager agree, after consultation with the Architect, the Construction Phase may
commence before the Preconstruction Phase is completed, in which case both phases will proceed
concurrently.

§ 2.1 PRECONSTRUCTION PHASE

§ 2.1.1 PRELIMINARY EVALUATION

The Construction Manager shall provide a preliminary evaluation of the Owner’s program and Project
budget requirements, each in terms of the other.

§ 2.1.2 CONSULTATION

The Construction Manager with the Architect shall jointly schedule and attend regular meetings with
the Owner. The Construction Manager shall consult with the Owner and Architect regarding site use
and improvements and the selection of materials, building systems and equipment. The Construction
Manager shall provide recommendations on construction feasibility; actions designed to minimize
adverse effects of labor or material shortages; time requirements for procurement, installation and
construction completion; and factors related to construction cost, including estimates of
alternative designs or materials, preliminary budgets and possible economies.

§ 2.1.3 PRELIMINARY PROJECT SCHEDULE

When Project requirements described in Section 3.1.1 have been sufficiently identified, the
Construction Manager shall prepare, and periodically update, a preliminary Project schedule for the
Architect’s review and the Owner’s approval. The Construction Manager shall obtain the Architect’s
approval of the portion of the preliminary Project schedule relating to the performance of the
Architect’s services. The Construction Manager shall coordinate and integrate the preliminary
Project schedule with the services and activities of the Owner, Architect and Construction Manager.
As design proceeds, the preliminary Project schedule shall be updated to indicate proposed
activity sequences and durations, milestone dates for receipt and approval of pertinent
information, submittal of a Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal, preparation and processing of shop
drawings and samples, delivery of materials or equipment requiring long-lead-time procurement,
Owner’s occupancy requirements showing portions of the Project having occupancy priority, and
proposed date of Substantial Completion. If preliminary Project schedule updates indicate that
previously approved schedules may not be met, the Construction Manager shall make appropriate
recommendations to the Owner and Architect. A detailed Project Schedule in accordance with
Article 3.10 of the General Conditions, as amended, shall be submitted with the GMP.

§ 2.1.4 PHASED CONSTRUCTION

The Construction Manager shall make recommendations to the Owner and Architect regarding the phased
issuance of Drawings and Specifications to facilitate phased construction of the Work, if such
phased construction is appropriate for the Project, taking into consideration such factors as
economies, time of performance, availability of labor and materials, and provisions for temporary
facilities.

§ 2.1.5 PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES

§ 2.1.5.1 When the Owner has sufficiently identified the Project requirements and the Architect has
prepared other basic design criteria, the Construction Manager shall prepare, for the review of the
Architect and approval of the Owner, a preliminary cost estimate utilizing area, volume or similar
conceptual estimating techniques.

§ 2.1.5.2 When Schematic Design Documents have been prepared by the Architect and approved by the
Owner, the Construction Manager shall prepare, for the review of the Architect and approval of the

Owner’s budget, the Construction Manager shall make appropriate recommendations to the Owner and
Architect.

§ 2.1.6 SUBCONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS

The Construction Manager shall seek to develop subcontractor interest in the Project and shall
furnish to the Owner and Architect for their information a list of possible subcontractors,
including suppliers who are to furnish materials or equipment fabricated to a special design, from
whom proposals will be requested for each principal portion of the Work. The Architect will
promptly reply in writing to the Construction Manager if the Architect or Owner know of any
objection to such subcontractor or supplier. The receipt of such list shall not require the Owner
or Architect to investigate the qualifications of proposed subcontractors or suppliers, nor shall
it waive the right of the Owner or Architect later to object to or reject any proposed
subcontractor or supplier.

§ 2.1.7 LONG-LEAD-TIME ITEMS

The Construction Manager shall recommend to the Owner and Architect a schedule for procurement of
long-lead-time items which will constitute part of the Work as required to meet the Project
schedule. If such long-lead-time items are procured by the Owner, they shall be procured on terms
and conditions acceptable to the Construction Manager. Upon the Owner’s acceptance of the
Construction Manager’s Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal, all contracts for such items shall be
assigned by the Owner to the Construction Manager, who shall accept responsibility for such items
as if procured by the Construction Manager. The Construction Manager shall expedite the delivery
of long-lead-time items.

§ 2.1.8 EXTENT OF RESPONSIBILITY

The Construction Manager does not warrant or guarantee estimates and schedules except as may be
included as part of the Guaranteed Maximum Price. The recommendations and advice of the
Construction Manager concerning design alternatives shall be subject to the review and approval of
the Owner and the Owner’s professional consultants. It is not the Construction Manager’s
responsibility to ascertain that the Drawings and Specifications are in accordance with applicable
laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, rules and regulations. The Construction Manager shall
review the Drawings and Specifications with due care. If the Construction Manager recognizes that
portions of the Drawings and Specifications are at variance therewith, the Construction Manager
shall promptly notify the Architect and Owner in writing.

§ 2.1.9 EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION

The Construction Manager shall comply with applicable laws, regulations and special requirements of
the Contract Documents regarding equal employment opportunity and affirmative action programs.

§ 2.2 GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE PROPOSAL AND CONTRACT TIME

§ 2.2.1 When the Drawings and Specifications are sufficiently complete, the Construction Manager
shall propose a Guaranteed Maximum Price, which shall be the sum of the estimated Cost of the Work
and the Construction Manager’s Fee.

§ 2.2.2 As the Drawings and Specifications may not be finished at the time the Guaranteed Maximum
Price proposal is prepared, the Construction Manager shall provide in the Guaranteed Maximum Price
for further development of the Drawings and Specifications by the Architect that is consistent with

include such things as changes in scope, systems, kinds and quality of materials, finishes or
equipment, all of which, if required, shall be incorporated by Change Order.

§ 2.2.3 The estimated Cost of the Work shall include the Construction Manager’s contingency, a sum
established by the Construction Manager for the Construction Manager’s exclusive use to cover costs
arising under Section 2.2.2 and other costs which are properly reimbursable as Cost of the Work but
not the basis for a Change Order.

§ 2.2.4 BASIS OF GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE

The Construction Manager shall include with the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal a written
statement of its basis, which shall include:

	 	.1	 	A list of the Drawings and Specifications, including all addenda thereto and the

that comprise the Guaranteed Maximum Price.

	 	.5	 	The Date of Substantial Completion upon which the proposed Guaranteed Maximum
Price is based, and a schedule of the Construction Documents issuance dates upon which
the date of Substantial Completion is based.

§ 2.2.5 The Construction Manager shall meet with the Owner and Architect to review the Guaranteed
Maximum Price proposal and the written statement of its basis. In the event that the Owner or
Architect discover any inconsistencies or inaccuracies in the information presented, they shall
promptly notify the Construction Manager, who shall make appropriate adjustments to the Guaranteed
Maximum Price proposal, its basis, or both.

§ 2.2.6 Unless the Owner accepts the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal in writing on or before the
date specified in the proposal for such acceptance and so notifies the Construction Manager, the
Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal shall not be effective without written acceptance by the
Construction Manager.

§ 2.2.7 Prior to the Owner’s acceptance of the Construction Manager’s Guaranteed Maximum Price
proposal and issuance of a Notice to Proceed, the Construction Manager shall not incur any cost to
be reimbursed as part of the Cost of the Work, except as the Owner may specifically authorize in
writing.

§ 2.2.8 Upon acceptance by the Owner of the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal, the Guaranteed
Maximum Price and its basis shall be set forth in Amendment No. 1. The Guaranteed Maximum Price
shall be subject to additions and deductions by a change in the Work as provided in the Contract
Documents, and the Date of Substantial Completion shall be subject to adjustment as provided in the
Contract Documents.

to the extent necessary to reflect the agreed-upon assumptions and clarifications contained in
Amendment No. 1. Such revised Drawings and Specifications shall be furnished to the Construction
Manager in accordance with schedules agreed to by the Owner, Architect and Construction Manager.
The Construction Manager shall promptly notify the Architect and Owner if such revised Drawings and
Specifications are inconsistent with the agreed-upon assumptions and clarifications.

§ 2.2.10 The Guaranteed Maximum Price shall include in the Cost of the Work only those taxes which
are enacted at the time the Guaranteed Maximum Price is established.

§ 2.3 CONSTRUCTION PHASE

§ 2.3.1 GENERAL

§ 2.3.1.1 The Construction Phase shall commence on the earlier of:

	 	(1)	 	the Owner’s acceptance of the Construction Manager’s Guaranteed Maximum Price
proposal and issuance of a Notice to Proceed, or

	 	(2)	 	the Owner’s first authorization to the Construction Manager to:

(a) award a subcontract, or

(b) undertake construction Work with the Construction Manager’s own forces, or

(c) issue a purchase order for materials or equipment required for the Work.

§ 2.3.2 ADMINISTRATION

§ 2.3.2.1 Those portions of the Work that the Construction Manager does not customarily perform
with the Construction Manager’s own personnel shall be performed under subcontracts or by other
appropriate agreements with the Construction Manager. The Construction Manager shall obtain bids
from Subcontractors and from suppliers of materials or equipment fabricated to a special design for
the Work from the list previously reviewed and, after analyzing such bids, shall deliver such bids
to the Owner and Architect. The Owner will then determine, with the advice of the Construction
Manager and subject to the reasonable objection of the Architect, which bids will be accepted. The
Owner may designate specific persons or entities from whom the Construction Manager shall obtain
bids; however, if the Guaranteed Maximum Price has been established, the Owner may not prohibit the
Construction Manager from obtaining bids from other qualified bidders. The Construction Manager
shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Construction Manager has reasonable
objection.

§ 2.3.2.2 If the Guaranteed Maximum Price has been established and a specific bidder among those
whose bids are delivered by the Construction Manager to the Owner and Architect (1) is recommended
to the Owner by the Construction Manager; (2) is qualified to perform that portion of the Work; and
(3) has submitted a bid which conforms to the requirements of the Contract Documents without
reservations or exceptions, but the Owner requires that another bid be accepted, then the
Construction Manager may require that a change in the Work be issued to adjust the Contract Time
and the Guaranteed Maximum Price by the difference between the bid of the person or entity
recommended to the Owner by the Construction Manager and the amount of the subcontract or other
agreement actually signed with the person or entity designated by the Owner.

§ 2.3.2.3 Subcontracts and agreements with suppliers furnishing materials or equipment fabricated
to a special design shall conform to the payment provisions of Sections 7.1.8 and 7.1.9 and shall
not be awarded on the basis of cost plus a fee without the prior consent of the Owner.

§ 2.3.2.4 The Construction Manager shall schedule and conduct meetings at which the Owner,
Architect, Construction Manager and appropriate Subcontractors can discuss the status of the Work.
The Construction Manager shall prepare and promptly distribute meeting minutes.

§ 2.3.2.5 Promptly after the Owner’s acceptance of the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal, the
Construction Manager shall prepare a schedule in accordance with Section 3.10 of A201TM–2007, as
amended including the Owner’s occupancy requirements.

Construction Manager’s Fee shall be one and one quarter percent (1 1/4%) of the cost of the Work.

§ 5.2 GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE

§ 5.2.1 The sum of the Cost of the Work and the Construction Manager’s Fee are guaranteed by the
Construction Manager not to exceed the amount provided in Amendment No. 1, subject to additions and
deductions by changes in the Work as provided in the Contract Documents. Such maximum sum as
adjusted by approved changes in the Work is referred to in the Contract Documents as the Guaranteed
Maximum Price. Costs which would cause the Guaranteed Maximum Price to be exceeded shall be paid
by the Construction Manager without reimbursement by the Owner.

At the end of the project, if the total Cost of the Work, including Construction Manager’s Fee is
less than the GMP as adjusted by change orders, the remaining funds shall be deemed to be Savings.
Savings shall include any Construction Manager’s contingency which remains unused. All Savings
shall be split with eighty-five percent (85%) inuring to the benefit of the Owner and fifteen
percent (15%) to the Construction Manager.

The parties further agree that as an incentive to the Construction Manager for completion, should
the Construction Manager achieve the following Milestones, it shall be entitled to receive
additional compensation which shall be calculated as a percentage of its Fee as set forth in 5.1.1
above;

	 	 	 
	April 15, 2010

§ 5.3 CHANGES IN THE WORK

§ 5.3.1 Adjustments to the Guaranteed Maximum Price on account of changes in the Work subsequent to
the execution of Amendment No. 1 may be determined by any of the methods listed in Section 7.3.3 of
A201-2007, as amended.

§ 5.3.2 In calculating adjustments to subcontracts (except those awarded with the Owner’s prior
consent on the basis of cost plus a fee), the terms “cost” and “fee” as used in Section 7.3.3.3 of
A201-2007, as amended and the terms “costs” and “a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit” as
used in Section 7.3.6 of A201-2007, as amended shall have the meanings assigned to them in that
document and shall not be modified by this Article 5. Adjustments to subcontracts awarded with the
Owner’s prior consent on the basis of cost plus a fee shall be calculated in accordance with the
terms of those subcontracts.

§ 5.3.3 In calculating adjustments to the Contract, the terms “cost” and “costs” as used in the
above-referenced provisions of A201-2007, as amended shall mean the Cost of the Work as defined in
Article 6 of this Agreement, and the term “and a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit”
shall mean the Construction Manager’s Fee as defined in Section 5.1.1 of this Agreement.

§ 5.3.4 If no specific provision is made in Section 5.1.1 for adjustment of the Construction
Manager’s Fee in the case of changes in the Work, or if the extent of such changes is such, in the
aggregate, that application of the adjustment provisions of Section 5.1.1 will cause substantial
inequity to the Owner or Construction Manager, the Construction Manager’s Fee shall be equitably
adjusted on the basis of the Fee established for the original Work.

ARTICLE 7 CONSTRUCTION PHASE PAYMENTS

§ 7.1 PROGRESS PAYMENTS

§ 7.1.1 Based upon Applications for Payment submitted to the Architect by the Construction Manager
and Certificates for Payment issued by the Architect, the Owner shall make progress payments on
account of the Contract Sum to the Construction Manager as provided below and elsewhere in the
Contract Documents.

§ 7.1.2 The period covered by each Application for Payment shall be one calendar month ending on
the last day of the month, or as follows:

§ 7.1.3 Provided an Application for Payment is received by the Architect not later than the
first (1st) day of a month, the Owner shall make payment to the Construction Manager not
later than the thirtieth (30th) day of the same month. If an Application for Payment is
received by the Architect after the application date fixed above, payment shall be made by the
Owner not later than thirty (30) days after the Architect receives the Application for Payment.

§ 7.1.4 With each Application for Payment, the Construction Manager shall submit a billing detail
report which identifies each expense incurred during the billing period, and 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
Construction Manager on account of the Cost of the Work equal or exceed (1) progress payments
already received by the Construction Manager; less (2) that portion of those payments attributable
to the Construction Manager’s Fee; plus (3) payrolls for the period covered by the present
Application for Payment.

§ 7.1.5 Each Application for Payment shall be based upon the most recent schedule of values
submitted by the Construction Manager 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 Construction Manager’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 Construction Manager’s Applications for Payment. The schedule of values
shall be adjusted as each trade contract is purchased to reflect the actual costs to be incurred
under that line item.

§ 7.1.6 Applications for Payment shall show the percentage completion of each portion of the Work
as of the end of the period covered by the Application for Payment. The percentage 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 which has actually been
incurred by the Construction Manager on account of that portion of the Work for which the
Construction Manager 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.

§ 7.1.7 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 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 may be included as provided in Section 7.3.8 of
A201-2007, as amended, even though the Guaranteed Maximum Price has not yet been
adjusted by Change Order.

	 	.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 Construction Manager’s Fee, less retainage of ten (10%). The
Construction Manager’s Fee shall be computed upon the Cost of the Work described in the
two preceding Sections at the rate stated in Section 5.1.1 or, if the Construction
Manager’s Fee is stated as a fixed sum in that Section, shall be an amount which bears
the same ratio to that fixed-sum Fee as the Cost of the Work in the two preceding
Sections bears to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the Work upon its
completion. The amount of retainage for each Application for Payment shall be limited
to ten percent (10%) until fifty percent (50%) of the Work is complete; no additional
retainage from subsequent payments will be withheld so the retainage is progressively
reduced to five percent (5%) at the time of Substantial Completion. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Owner reasonably determines that
any portion of the Work is not being reasonably performed, or the Schedule is not being
reasonably followed, the Owner shall have the absolute right to continue to make
progress payments at the rate of only ninety percent (90%) of the amount due the
Construction Manager and the amount due the Construction Manager shall not include the
value of the Work disputed.

	 	.4	 	Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner.

	 	.5	 	Subtract the shortfall, if any, indicated by the Construction Manager in the
documentation required by Section 7.1.4 to substantiate prior Applications for Payment,
or resulting from errors subsequently discovered by the Owner’s accountants in such
documentation.

	 	.6	 	Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect has withheld or nullified a
Certificate for Payment as provided in Section 9.5 of A201-2007, as amended.

§ 7.1.8 Except with the Owner’s prior approval, payments to Subcontractors shall be subject to
retention of not less than ten (10%). The Owner and the Construction Manager shall agree upon a
mutually acceptable procedure for review and approval of payments and retention for subcontracts.

§ 7.1.9 Except with the Owner’s prior approval, the Construction Manager shall not make advance
payments to suppliers for materials or equipment which have not been delivered and stored at the
site.

§ 7.1.10 In taking action on the Construction Manager’s Applications for Payment, the Architect
shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of the information furnished by the
Construction Manager 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 7.1.4 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 Construction Manager 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.

§ 7.1.11 The payment or partial payment of any Application for Payment by the Owner, including the
final Application for Payment, shall not constitute approval or acceptance of any Work or cost in
such Application.

§ 7.2 FINAL PAYMENT

§ 7.2.1 Final payment shall be made by the Owner to the Construction Manager when (1) the Contract
has been fully performed by the Construction Manager except for the Construction Manager’s
responsibility to correct nonconforming Work, as provided in Section 12.2.2 of A201-2007, as
amended, and to satisfy other requirements, if any, which necessarily survive final payment; (2) a
final Application for Payment and a final accounting for the Cost of the Work have been submitted
by the Construction Manager and reviewed by the Owner’s accountants; and (3) a final Certificate
for Payment has then been issued by the Architect; such final payment shall be made by the Owner
not more than 30 days after the issuance of the Architect’s final Certificate for Payment, or as
follows:

§ 7.2.2 The amount of the final payment shall be calculated as follows:

	 	.1	 	Take the sum of the Cost of the Work substantiated by the Construction Manager’s
final accounting and the Construction Manager’s Fee, but not more than the Guaranteed
Maximum Price.

	 	.2	 	Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect withholds, in whole or in part,
a final Certificate for Payment as provided in Section 9.5.1 of A201-2007, as amended or
other provisions of the Contract Documents. At Substantial Completion, Owner shall
develop a list of incomplete, defective or disputed items and shall retain funds as set
forth in the General Conditions.

	 	.3	 	Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner.

If the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner exceeds the amount due the Construction
Manager, the Construction Manager shall reimburse the difference to the Owner.

§ 7.2.3 The Owner’s accountants will review and report in writing on the Construction Manager’s
final accounting within 30 days after delivery of the final accounting to the Architect by the
Construction Manager. Based upon such Cost of the Work as the Owner’s accountants report to be
substantiated by the Construction Manager’s final accounting, and provided the other conditions of
Section 7.2.1 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 Construction Manager or notify the Construction Manager and Owner in writing of the
Architect’s reasons for withholding a certificate as provided in Section 9.5.1 of A201-2007, as
amended. The time periods stated in this Section 7.2 supersede those stated in Section 9.4.1 of
A201-2007, as amended.

§ 7.2.4 If the Owner’s accountants report the Cost of the Work as substantiated by the Construction
Manager’s final accounting to be less than claimed by the Construction Manager, the Construction
Manager shall be entitled to proceed in accordance with Article 9 without a further decision of the
Architect. Unless agreed to otherwise, a demand for mediation or arbitration of the disputed
amount shall be made by the Construction Manager within 60 days after the Construction Manager’s
receipt of a copy of the Architect’s final Certificate for Payment. Failure to make such demand
within this 60-day period shall result in the substantiated amount reported by the Owner’s
accountants becoming binding on the Construction Manager. Pending a final resolution of the
disputed amount, the Owner shall pay the Construction Manager the amount certified in the
Architect’s final Certificate for Payment.

§ 7.2.5 If, subsequent to final payment and at the Owner’s request, the Construction Manager incurs
costs described in Section 6.1 and not excluded by Section 6.2 (1) to correct nonconforming Work or
(2) arising from the resolution of disputes, the Owner shall reimburse the Construction Manager
such costs and the Construction Manager’s Fee, if any, related 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 Construction Manager has participated in savings, 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 Contract Documents form the Contract for Construction. The Contract represents the entire and
integrated agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes prior negotiations, representations

Modification. The Contract Documents shall not be construed to create a contractual relationship of
any kind (I) between the Contractor and the Architect or the Architect’s consultants, (2) between
the Owner and a Subcontractor or a Sub-subcontractor, (3) between the Owner and the Architect or
the Architect’s consultants or (4) between any persons or entities other than the Owner and the

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 or reasonably
inferable by the Contractor as necessary to produce the result intended by the Contract Documents.
The Work may constitute the whole or a part of the Project.

§ 1.1.4 THE PROJECT

The Project is the total construction of which the Work performed under the Contract Documents may
be the whole or a part and which may include construction by the Owner and 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 INSTRUMENTS OF SERVICE

developed, of the tangible and intangible creative work performed by the Architect and the
Architect’s consultants under their respective professional services agreements. Instruments of
Service may include, without limitation, studies, surveys, models, sketches, drawings,
specifications, and other similar materials.

§ 1.1.10 The term “provide” includes furnishing and installing a product, complete in place,
tested, approved and warranted.

§ 1.1.11 The term “Building Code” and the term “Code” refer to regulations of federal, state and
local governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Project.

§ 1.1.12 The terms “approved”, “required”, and “as directed” refer to and indicate the work or
materials that may be approved, required or directed by Architect acting as the agent of the Owner.

§ 1.1.13 The term “similar” means in its general sense and not necessarily identical.

§ 1.1.14 The terms “shown”, indicated”, “detailed”, “noted”, “scheduled”, and terms of similar
import, refer to requirements contained in the Contract Documents. Analogously, the expression
“reasonably inferable” shall be interpreted to mean reasonably inferable by a contractor to the
extent familiar with the Project and exercising the care, skill and diligence required by the
Contract Documents.

§ 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
inconsistencies within or between parts of the Contract Documents or between the Contract Documents
and applicable standards, as well as those codes and ordinances which a competent contractor would
generally be held accountable to, the Contractor shall (i) provide the better quality or greater
quantity of Work or (ii) comply with the more stringent requirement; either or both in accordance
with the Architect’s interpretation.

.1 On the Drawings, given dimensions shall take precedence over scaled measurements, and large
scale drawings over small scale drawings.

.2 Before requesting the ordering of any material or doing any Work, the Contractor and each
Subcontractor shall verify measurements at the Project site and shall be responsible for the
correctness of such measurements. No extra charges or compensation will be allowed on account of
differences between actual dimensions and the dimensions indicated on the Drawings.

.3 If a minor change in the Work is found to be necessary due to actual field conditions, the
Contractor shall submit detailed drawings of such departure to the Architect for approval before
making the change.

.4 Contractor shall thoroughly acquaint itself with and comply with the terms, statutes, rules
and regulations governing excavation in the area of underground utilities.

§ 1.2.2 Organization of the Specifications into divisions, sections and articles, and arrangement
of Drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in
establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade.

§ 1.2.3 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, words that have well-known technical or
construction industry meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such
recognized meanings.

§ 1.2.4 The Drawings are intended to show the general arrangement, design and extent of the Work
and are partly diagrammatic. When the Project is completed, the Contractor shall mark-up a set of
prints showing all changes and job conditions not shown on the Architect’s Drawings. This set of
prints shall be delivered to the Architect’s office so record drawings can be prepared of the
Project which are based on as-built information provided by the Contractor.

§ 1.2.5 If Work is required in such a manner as to make it impossible to produce first-class Work
as defined by industry standards, or should discrepancies appear in the Contract Documents,
Contractor shall request a written interpretation before proceeding with the Work. If Contractor
fails to make such a request, Contractor shall not be excused for failure to carry out Work in a
satisfactory manner. Should conflicts occur in the Contract Documents, the Contractor is deemed to
have based its estimate on the acceptable standard trade practice for doing the Work, unless it
shall have asked for and obtained a written decision before submission of its bid as to which
method or materials will be required.

§ 1.3 CAPITALIZATION

Terms capitalized in these General Conditions include those that are (1) specifically defined, (2)
the titles of numbered articles or (3) the titles of other documents published by the American
Institute of Architects.

§ 1.4 INTERPRETATION

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

§ 1.5.1 The Architect and the Architect’s consultants shall be deemed the authors and owners of
their respective Instruments of Service, including the Drawings and Specifications, and will retain
all common law, statutory and other reserved rights, including copyrights. The Contractor,
Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, and material or equipment suppliers shall not own or claim a
copyright in the Instruments of Service. Submittal or distribution to meet official regulatory
requirements or for other purposes in connection with this Project is not to be construed as
publication in derogation of the Architect’s or Architect’s consultants’ reserved rights.

§ 1.5.2 The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors and material or equipment suppliers are
authorized to use and reproduce the Instruments of Service provided to them solely and exclusively
for execution of the Work. All copies made under this authorization shall bear the copyright
notice, if any, shown on the Instruments of Service. The Contractor, Subcontractors,
Sub-subcontractors, and material or equipment suppliers may not use the Instruments of Service on
other projects or for additions to this Project outside the scope of the Work without the specific
written consent of the Owner, Architect and the Architect’s consultants.

§ 1.6 TRANSMISSION OF DATA IN DIGITAL FORM

If the parties intend to transmit Instruments of Service or any other information or documentation
in digital form, they shall endeavor to establish necessary protocols governing such transmissions,
unless otherwise already provided in the Agreement or the Contract Documents.

§ 2.2 INFORMATION AND SERVICES REQUIRED OF THE OWNER

§ 2.2.1 Prior to commencement of the Work, the Contractor may request in writing that the Owner
provide reasonable evidence that the Owner has made financial arrangements to fulfill the Owner’s
obligations under the
Contract. Thereafter, the Contractor may only request such evidence if (1) the Owner fails to make
payments to the Contractor as the Contract Documents require; (2) a change in the Work materially
changes the Contract Sum; or (3) the Contractor identifies in writing a reasonable concern
regarding the Owner’s ability to make payment when due. The Owner shall furnish such evidence as a
condition precedent to commencement or continuation of the Work or the portion of the Work affected
by a material change. After the Owner furnishes the evidence, the Owner shall not materially vary
such financial arrangements without prior notice to the Contractor.

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

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

§
2.2.4 The Owner shall furnish information or services required of the Owner by the Contract
Documents with reasonable promptness. The Owner shall also furnish any other information or
services under the Owner’s control and relevant to the Contractor’s performance of the Work with
reasonable promptness after receiving the Contractor’s written request for such information or
services.

§
2.2.5 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Owner shall furnish to the
Contractor one copy of the Contract Documents for purposes of making reproductions pursuant to
Section 1.5.2.

§ 2.3 OWNER’S RIGHT TO STOP THE WORK

If the Contractor fails to correct Work that is not in accordance with the requirements of the
Contract Documents as required by Section 12.2 or repeatedly 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

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, 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, including Owner’s reasonable attorneys fees. 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 upon demand, including all interest and legal fees associated therewith
and schedule delays incurred by the Owner.

§ 2.5 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, notwithstanding any of the rights and authority granted the
owner in the Contact Documents.

§ 2.6 The rights stated in this Article and elsewhere in the Contract Documents are cumulative and
not in limitation of any rights of the Owner or Contractor (1) granted in the Contract Documents,
(2) at law, or (3) in equity.

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 Contractor shall be lawfully
licensed, if required in the jurisdiction where the Project is located. The Contractor shall
designate in writing a representative who shall have express authority to bind the Contractor with
respect to all matters under this Contract. The term “Contractor” means the Contractor or the
Contractor’s authorized 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 or entities other than the Contractor.

§ 3.2 REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND FIELD CONDITIONS BY CONTRACTOR

§ 3.2.1 Execution of the Contract by the Contractor is a representation that the Contractor has
visited the site, become generally familiar with local conditions under which the Work is to be
performed and correlated personal observations with requirements of the Contract Documents. The
Contractor and each Subcontractor shall evaluate and satisfy themselves as to the conditions and
limitations under which the Work is to be performed, including, without limitation (1) the
location, condition, layout and nature of the Project site and surrounding areas, (2) generally
prevailing climatic conditions, (3) anticipated labor supply and costs, (4) availability and cost
of materials, tools and equipment, and (5) other similar issues. The Owner shall not be required to
make any adjustment in either the Contract Sum, Contract Time or any Milestone Date in connection
with any failure by the Contractor or any Subcontractor to comply with the requirements of this
paragraph. The Owner assumes no responsibility or liability for the safety of the Project site
except that Owner’s personnel shall be responsible for complying with all safety regulations
established while at the worksite.

§ 3.2.2 Because the Contract Documents are complementary, the Contractor shall, before starting
each portion of the Work, carefully study and compare the various Contract Documents relative to
that portion of the Work, as well as the information furnished by the Owner pursuant to Section
2.2.3, shall take field measurements of any existing conditions related to that portion of the
Work, and shall observe any reasonably visible conditions at the site affecting it. The Contractor
shall promptly report to the Architect any errors, inconsistencies or omissions discovered by or
made known to the Contractor as a request for information in such form as the Architect may
require. It is recognized that the Contractor’s review is made in the Contractor’s capacity as a
contractor and not as a licensed design professional, unless otherwise specifically provided in the
Contract Documents.

§ 3.2.3 The Contractor is not required to ascertain that the Contract Documents are in accordance
with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, or lawful orders of
public authorities, unless they bear upon the performance of the Work, but the Contractor shall
promptly report to the Architect any nonconformity discovered by or made known to the Contractor as
a request for information in such form as the Architect may require.

§ 3.2.4 If the Contractor believes that additional cost or time is involved because of
clarifications or instructions the Architect issues in response to the Contractor’s notices or
requests for information pursuant to Sections 3.2.2 or 3.2.3, the Contractor shall make Claims as
provided in Article 15. If the Contractor fails to perform the obligations of Sections 3.2.2 or
3.2.3, the Contractor shall pay such costs and damages to the Owner as would have been avoided if
the Contractor had performed such obligations. If the Contractor performs those obligations, the
Contractor shall not be liable to the Owner or Architect for damages resulting from errors,
inconsistencies or omissions in the Contract Documents, for differences between field measurements
or conditions and the Contract Documents, or for nonconformities of the Contract Documents to
applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, and lawful orders of public
authorities, unless the Contractor recognized or should have recognized such error, inconsistency,
omission or difference and failed to report it to the Architect or Owner.

and are partly diagrammatic, they are not intended to be scaled for rough-in measurements or to
serve as Shop Drawings.

§ 3.2.6 The Contractor shall consult with the Architect regarding any items which may through
oversight be omitted from the Schedule, Drawings, or Specifications, or for which no symbol or
other designation is given for identification. In the absence of any definite instruction from the
Architect, such items shall be figured and furnished to correspond with similar items for which
information is given.

§ 3.2.7 During the bidding period, any questions or discrepancies called to the Architect’s
attention by a bidder will be answered by the Architect by a means of an “Addendum” issued to all
bidders prior to receiving bids. All addenda shall become a part of the Contract Documents. If any
items of Work is shown on the Drawings and not specified, or mentioned in the Specifications and
not shown on the Drawings, the matter shall be brought to the attention of the Architect in writing
during the bidding period so that an Addendum can be issued correcting the omission or
clarification. If such correction is not made, then the work in question shall be considered to be
required as if it had been specified and shown on the drawings.

§ 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 loss or damage
arising solely from those Owner-required means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures.

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

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

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

§ 3.4 LABOR AND MATERIALS

§ 3.4.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall provide and pay
for labor, materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery, water, heat,
utilities, transportation, and other facilities and services necessary for proper execution and

incorporated in the Work.

§ 3.4.1.1 The Contractor shall provide and pay for all costs of temporary heat, light, electrical
power and water and off-site debris removal as required for the timely completion of the work,
until the issuance of the Certificate for Substantial Completion, at which time the Owner will take
over said costs.

Owner, after evaluation by the Architect and in accordance with a Change Order or Construction
Change Directive.

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

§ 3.4.4 The various products and materials mentioned in these Contract Documents are given to
establish a standard of quality and price. It is not intended that the Contractor shall be limited
to one product. It is the responsibility of the Architect to review or equal submittals. The
judgment of the Architect shall be final as to where a substitute product is approved for use in
place of the sole priority specified item.

§ 3.4.5 Where Specifications allow a material or operation to be “or equal” and “reviewed”, any
substitutes shall be warranted by Contractor to be equal in quality, service and performance to
items originally specified. Final determination and written approval for use of substitutes must be
obtained from the Architect prior to ordering and installation.

§ 3.4.6 For use of material other than specified, Contractor shall assume the cost of and
responsibility for satisfactorily accomplishing all changes in Work as required, and correction of
any faults due to performance, quality or service failures.

from injury; and insure delivery of materials at such times and in such quantities as will insure
speedy, uninterrupted progress of the Work.

§ 3.5 WARRANTY

§ 3.5.1 The Contractor warrants to the Owner and Architect that materials and equipment furnished
under the Contract will be of good quality and new unless the Contract Documents require or permit
otherwise. The Contractor further warrants that the Work will conform to the requirements of the
Contract Documents and will be free from defects, except for those inherent in the quality of the
Work the Contract Documents require or permit. Work, materials, or equipment not conforming to
these requirements may be considered defective. The Contractor’s warranty excludes remedy for
damage or defect caused by abuse, alterations to the Work not executed by the Contractor, improper
or insufficient maintenance, improper operation, or normal wear and tear and normal usage. If
required by the Architect or Owner, the Contractor shall furnish satisfactory evidence as to the
kind and quality of materials and equipment.

§ 3.5.2 Contractor expressly warrants its Work for one year after Final Completion. Contractor
shall make any repair or replacement to the Work resulting from defective materials and/or
workmanship or construction not in accordance with the Contract Documents. Contractor shall
commence making the repairs or replacements required pursuant to this warranty promptly after Owner
gives written notice to Contractor. In the event of Contractor’s failure to make timely
corrections, Owner shall have the right to make corrections and Contractor shall be responsible for
the immediate payment thereof.

§ 3.5.3 The Contractor agrees to assign to the Owner at the time of Substantial Completion of the
Work any and all manufacturer’s warranties relating to materials and labor used in the Work and
further agrees to perform the Work in such manner so as to preserve any and all such manufacturer’s
warranties.

§ 3.7 PERMITS, FEES, NOTICES, AND COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

§ 3.7.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall secure and pay
for the building permit as well as for other permits, fees, licenses, and inspections by government
agencies necessary for proper execution and completion of the Work that are customarily secured
after execution of the Contract and legally required at the time bids are received or negotiations
concluded.

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

§ 3.7.3 If the Contractor performs Work knowing it to be contrary to applicable laws, statutes,
ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, or lawful orders of public authorities, the Contractor
shall assume appropriate responsibility for such Work and shall bear the costs attributable to
correction, and shall indemnify the Owner therefor, including reasonable professional fees.

§ 3.7.4 Concealed or Unknown Conditions. If the Contractor encounters conditions at the site that
are (1) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions that differ materially from those
indicated in the Contract Documents or (2) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, that
differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in
construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract Documents, the Contractor
shall promptly provide notice to the Owner and the Architect before conditions are disturbed and in
no event later than 21 days after first observance of the conditions. The Architect will promptly
investigate such conditions and, if the Architect determines that they differ materially and cause
an increase or decrease in the Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part
of the Work, will recommend an equitable adjustment in the 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 promptly notify the Owner and Contractor in writing, stating the reasons. If
either party disputes the Architect’s determination or recommendation, that party may proceed as
provided in Article 15.

§ 3.7.5 If, in the course of the Work, the Contractor encounters human remains or recognizes the
existence of burial markers, archaeological sites or wetlands not indicated in the Contract
Documents, the Contractor shall immediately suspend any operations that would affect them and shall
notify the Owner and Architect. Upon receipt of such notice, the Owner shall promptly take any
action necessary to obtain governmental authorization required to resume the operations. The
Contractor shall continue to suspend such operations until otherwise instructed by the Owner but
shall continue with all other operations that do not affect those remains or features. Requests for

that the Architect requires additional time to review. Failure of the Architect to reply within the
14 day period shall constitute notice of no reasonable objection.

§ 3.9.3 The Contractor shall not employ a proposed superintendent to whom the Owner or Architect
has made reasonable and timely objection. The Contractor shall not change the superintendent
without the Owner’s consent, which shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed.

Contract and thereafter as necessary to maintain a current submittal schedule, and shall submit the
schedule(s) for the Architect’s approval. The Architect’s approval shall not unreasonably be
delayed or withheld. The submittal schedule shall (1) be coordinated with the Contractor’s
construction schedule, and (2) allow the Architect reasonable time to review submittals. If the

increase in Contract Sum or extension of Contract Time based on the time required for review of
submittals.

§ 3.10.3 The Contractor shall perform the Work in general accordance with the most recent schedules
submitted to the Owner and Architect.

§ 3.10.4 The construction schedule shall be in a detailed precedence-style critical path method
(CPM) or Primavera type format satisfactory to the Owner and Architect which shall also (1) provide
a graphic representation of all activities and events that will occur during performance of the
Work; (2) identify each phase of construction and occupancy; and (3) set forth dates that are
critical in ensuring the timely and orderly completion of the Work in accordance with the
requirements of the Contract Documents (hereinafter referred to as Milestone Dates). Upon review
and acceptance by the Architect and Owner, the construction schedule shall be deemed part of the
Contract Documents and attached to Amendment No. 1 as Exhibit D. The Contractor’s Schedule shall
assume an amount of adverse weather conditions normal to the site of the Work for the seasons or
season for the year involved. The Contractor shall monitor the progress of the Work for conformance
with the requirements of the construction schedule and shall promptly advise the Owner and
Architect of any delays or potential delays. The construction schedule shall be updated regularly
to reflect actual conditions or if requested by the Owner. In the event any
progress report indicates any delays, the Contractor shall propose an affirmative plan to correct
the delay, including overtime and/or additional labor, if necessary. In no event shall any progress
report constitute an adjustment in the Contract Time, any Milestone Date or the Contract Sum unless
any such adjustment is agreed to by the Owner and authorized pursuant to a Change Order.

of the Work, the Contractor shall prepare a recovery schedule depicting the strategy and means to
recover all lost time, at no additional cost to the Owner if such delay is non-compensable,
including, where approved by the Owner, working overtime and in multiple shifts. In cases of
non-excusable delay, failure to timely prepare such a recovery schedule shall be a material breach
of the Contract.

§ 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 in accordance with the submittal schedule approved by the Architect or, in the
absence of an approved submittal schedule, 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.

§ 3.12.6 By submitting Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples and similar submittals, the Contractor
represents to the Owner and Architect that the Contractor has (1) reviewed and approved them, (2)
determined and verified materials, field measurements and field construction criteria related
thereto, or will do so and (3) 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 that 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 who shall have and maintain commercially reasonable limits of insurance 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 and approvals performed or provided 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 and
design criteria specified in the Contract Documents.

consultants, and agents and employees of any of them from and against any and all claims, damages,
losses and expenses, including but not limited to 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), 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.

§ 3.18.2 In claims against any person or entity indemnified under this Section 3.18 by an employee
of the Contractor, a Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them or anyone for
whose acts they may be liable, the indemnification obligation under Section 3.18.1 shall not be

addition to all other obligations and upon adjudication in favor of an indemnitee, Contractor shall
be responsible for any and all costs associated with bringing such action, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees. Owner may withhold from any payment an amount sufficient to protect the Owner.

§ 3.18.4 The Contractor’s indemnity obligations under this Paragraph 3.18 shall, but not by way of
limitation, specifically include, without limitations, all fines, penalties and punitive damages
arising out of, or in connection with, any (i) violation of or failure to comply with any
governmental regulation or requirement by the Contractor or any person or entity for whom the

violation of, any permit or other approval of a public authority applicable to the Work by the
Contractor or any entity for whom the Contractor is responsible.

ARTICLE 4 ARCHITECT

§ 4.1 GENERAL

§ 4.1.1 The Owner shall retain an architect lawfully licensed to practice architecture or an entity
lawfully practicing architecture in the jurisdiction where the Project is located. That person or
entity is identified as the Architect in the Agreement and is referred to throughout the Contract
Documents as if singular in number.

§ 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 successor
architect whose status under the Contract Documents shall be that of the Architect.

§ 4.2 ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONTRACT

§ 4.2.1 The Architect will provide administration of the Contract as described in the Contract
Documents and the Architect and Owner’s Project Manager will be the Owner’s representative during
construction until the date the Architect issues the final Certificate For Payment. The Architect
will have authority to act on behalf of the Owner only to the extent provided in the Contract
Documents.

§ 4.2.2 The Architect and Owner will visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of
construction, or as otherwise agreed with the Owner, to become generally familiar with the progress
and quality of the portion of the Work completed, and to determine in general if the Work observed
is being performed in a manner indicating that the Work, when fully completed, will be in
accordance with the Contract Documents. However, neither the
Architect nor the Owner will be required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to
check the quality or quantity of the Work. The Architect and the Owner will not have control over,
charge of, or responsibility 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 On the basis of the site visits, the Architect will keep the Owner reasonably informed
about the progress and quality of the portion of the Work completed, and report to the Owner (1)
known deviations from the Contract Documents and from the most recent construction schedule
submitted by the Contractor, and (2) defects and deficiencies observed in the Work. The Architect
and Owner 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 and Owner have authority to reject Work that does not conform to the Contract
Documents. Whenever the Architect or Owner considers it necessary or advisable, the Architect and
Owner 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 or Owner 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 in accordance with the submittal schedule
approved by the Architect or, in the absence of an approved submittal schedule, with reasonable
promptness 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. The Architect will investigate and
make determinations and recommendations regarding concealed and unknown conditions as provided in
Section 3.7.4.

§
4.2.9 The Architect and Owner will conduct inspections to determine the date or dates of
Substantial Completion and the date of final completion; issue Certificates of Substantial
Completion pursuant to Section 9.8; 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 pursuant to Section 9.10; and issue a final Certificate
for Payment pursuant to Section 9.10.

ARTICLE 5 SUBCONTRACTORS

§ 5.1 DEFINITIONS

§ 5.1.1 A Subcontractor is a person or entity who has a direct contract with the Contractor to
perform a portion of the Work at the site. The term “Subcontractor” is referred to throughout the
Contract Documents as if singular in number and means a Subcontractor or an authorized
representative of the Subcontractor. The term “Subcontractor” does not include a separate
contractor or subcontractors of a separate contractor.

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

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

§ 5.2.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents or the bidding requirements, the
Contractor, as soon as practicable after award of the Contract, shall furnish in writing to the
Owner through the Architect the names of persons or entities (including those who are to furnish
materials or equipment fabricated to a special design) proposed for each principal portion of the
Work. The Architect may reply within 14 days to the Contractor in writing stating (1) whether the
Owner or the Architect has reasonable objection to any such proposed person or entity or (2) that
the Architect requires additional time for review. Failure of the Owner or Architect to reply
within the 14 day period shall constitute notice of no reasonable objection.

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

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

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

§ 5.3 SUBCONTRACTUAL RELATIONS

By appropriate written agreement, 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.
Subcontractors will similarly make copies of applicable portions of such documents available to
their respective proposed Sub-subcontractors.

§ 5.4 CONTINGENT ASSIGNMENT OF SUBCONTRACTS

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

	 	.1	 	assignment is effective only after termination of the Contract by the Owner for
cause pursuant to Section 14.2 and only for those subcontract agreements that 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.

(Paragraph deleted)

§ 5.4.2 Each subcontract shall specifically provide that the Owner shall only be responsible to the
subcontractor for those obligations that accrue subsequent to the Owner’s exercise of any rights
under this conditional assignment.

§ 5.4.3 Upon such assignment to the Owner under this Section 5.4, the Owner may further assign the
subcontract to a successor contractor or other entity.

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 Article 15.

§ 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. 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 that apply to the Contractor under the
Conditions of the Contract, including, without excluding others, those stated in Article 3, this
Article 6 and Articles 10, 11 and 12.

§ 6.2 MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY

§ 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 Contractor shall reimburse the Owner for costs the Owner incurs that are payable to a
separate contractor because of the Contractor’s delays, improperly timed activities or defective
construction. The Owner shall be responsible to the Contractor for costs the Contractor incurs
because of a separate contractor’s delays, improperly timed activities, damage to the Work or
defective construction of a separate contractor in accordance with Article 7 herein.

§ 6.2.4 The Contractor shall promptly remedy damage the Contractor wrongfully causes 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

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.. Except as permitted
in Paragraph 7.3 and 9.7.2, a change in the Contract Sum or the Contract Time shall be accomplished
only by Change Order or written authorization. Accordingly, no course of conduct or dealings
between the parties, nor express or implied acceptance of alterations or additions to
the Work, and no claim that the Owner has been unjustly enriched by any alteration or addition to
the Work, whether or not there is, in fact, any unjust enrichment, shall be the basis of any claim
to an increase in any amounts due under the Contract Documents or a change in any time period
provided for in the Contract Documents.

§ 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	 	The 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 Agreement on any Change Order shall constitute a final settlement on all matters relating
to the change in the Work that is the subject of the Change Order, including, but not limited to,
all direct and indirect costs associated with such change and any and all adjustments to the
Contract Sum, Contract Time and the construction schedule.

§ 7.3 CONSTRUCTION CHANGE DIRECTIVES

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

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

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

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

	 	.2	 	Unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon;

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

	 	.4	 	As provided in Section 7.3.7.

§ 7.3.4 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.

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

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

§ 7.3.7 If the Contractor does not respond promptly or disagrees with the method for adjustment in
the Contract Sum, the Architect shall determine the method and the adjustment 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, an
amount for overhead and profit as set forth in the Agreement, or if no such amount is set forth in
the Agreement, a reasonable amount. 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 7.3.7 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.

§ 7.3.8 The amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor to the Owner for a deletion or change
that 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.

§ 7.3.9 Pending final determination of the total cost of a Construction Change Directive to the
Owner, the Contractor may request payment for Work completed under the Construction Change
Directive in Applications for Payment. The Architect will make an interim determination for
purposes of monthly certification for payment for those costs and certify for payment the amount
that the Architect determines, in the Architect’s professional judgment, to be reasonably
justified. The Architect’s interim 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 15.

§ 7.3.10 When the Owner and Contractor agree with a 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 the Architect will prepare a Change
Order. Change Orders may be issued for all or any part of a Construction Change Directive.

§ 7.4 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK

The Architect or Owner has 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 will be effected by written order signed by the Architect and
shall be binding on the Owner and Contractor.

§ 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.

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

§ 8.3 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME

§ 8.3.1 If the Contractor is delayed at any time in the commencement or progress of the Work by an
act or neglect of the Owner or Architect, or of an employee of either, or of a separate contractor
employed by the Owner; or by changes ordered in the Work; or by labor disputes, fire, unusual delay
in deliveries, unavoidable casualties or other causes beyond the Contractor’s control; or by delay
authorized by the Owner pending mediation and litigation; or by other causes that the Architect
determines may justify delay, then the Contract Time shall be extended by Change Order to the
extent such delay will prevent the Contractor from achieving Substantial Completion within the
Contract Time and if the performance of the Work is not, was not, or would not have been delayed by
any other cause for which the Contractor is not entitled to an extension in the Contract Time under
the Contract Documents. The Contractor further acknowledges and agrees that adjustments in the
Contract Time will be permitted for a delay only to the extent such delay (1) is not caused or
could not have been anticipated by the Contractor, (2) could not be limited or avoided by
contractor’s timely notice to the owner of the delay, and (3) is of a duration not less than one
(1) day. In all cases, Contractor may utilize all available float in the project schedule as
schedule contingency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the float shall not adjust or modify any
Milestone Date set forth in the Contract Documents.

§ 8.3.2 Claims relating to time shall be made in accordance with applicable provisions of Article
15.

§ 8.3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Contract Documents, the Contractor’s sole
and exclusive remedy for any (i) delay in the commencement, prosecution or completion of the Work,
(ii) hindrance or obstruction in the performance of the Work, (iii) loss of productivity, or (iv)
other similar claims (collectively referred to as “Delays”) whether or not such Delays are
foreseeable, shall be an extension of time in which to complete the Work if permitted under
Subparagraph 8.3.1, and in the event of an Owner caused delay, direct costs only, in addition to an
extension of time. In no event shall the Contractor be entitled to any other remedy or compensation
or recovery of any damages, in connection with any Delay, including, without limitation,
consequential damages, lost opportunity costs, impact damages or other similar remuneration.

ARTICLE 9 PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION

§ 9.1 CONTRACT SUM

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

Where the Contract is based on a stipulated sum or Guaranteed Maximum Price, the Contractor shall
submit to the Architect, before the first Application for Payment, a schedule of values allocating
the entire Contract Sum to the various portions of the Work and 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. The description of Work shall be sufficiently broken down to indicate labor and
material costs associated with each area of Work. Any breakdown that fails to include sufficient
detail, is unbalanced or exhibits “front-loading” of the value of the Work will be rejected.

§ 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 prepared in accordance with the
schedule of values, if required under Section 9.2., for completed portions of the Work. 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 shall reflect retainage if provided for in the
Contract Documents. The form of Application for Payment shall be AIA Document G702 “Application and
Certificate for Payment”, supported by AIA Document G703, “Continuation Sheet” or sheets approved
by the Architect, together with Partial Waivers.

§ 9.3.1.1 As provided in Section 7.3.9, such applications may include requests for payment on
account of changes in the Work that 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 Applications for Payment shall not include requests for payment for portions of the Work
for which the Contractor does not intend to pay a Subcontractor or material supplier, unless such
Work has been performed by others whom the Contractor intends to pay.

§ 9.3.1.3 Progress payments shall be made in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreement
between Owner and Contractor. Failure to submit all required documentation , including Waivers,
shall be the basis for rejection of an Application for Payment.

§ 9.3.1.4 Applications for Payment shall cover the period of one month ending on the last day of
the month.

§ 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.

§ 9.3.3 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 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 To the extent permitted by law and to the extent payment has been made by the Owner for
amounts due, Contractor hereby expressly waives, releases and relinquishes any and all right to
maintain, or have filed or maintained, any mechanic’s lien or claim against the foresaid premises,

§ 9.3.5 To the extent payment has been made by the Owner for amounts due, Owner shall be entitled
to withhold payment to Contactor upon receipt of notice of any intent to file a lien in an amount
sufficient to protect the interests of the Owner. Owner shall allow Contractor a reasonable
opportunity to bond off a lien. Owner shall have the right, on its own and without the Contractor’s
consent, to resolve any lien claims and deduct the costs thereof from any amounts due Contractor.
In the event sufficient funds are not due Contractor, Contractor shall immediately pay to Owner any
sums paid by Owner to resolve lien claim(s) upon demand.

§ 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, to the best of the Architect’s knowledge, information and belief,
the Work has progressed to the point indicated and that 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 (I) made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to
check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from Subcontractors and
material suppliers and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor’s right to
payment, or (4) made examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money
previously paid on account of the Contract Sum.

§ 9.5 DECISIONS TO WITHHOLD CERTIFICATION

§ 9.5.1 The Architect may withhold a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part, to the extent
reasonably necessary to protect the Owner, if in the Architect’s opinion the representations to the
Owner required by 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 a separate 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	 	repeated 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.

§ 9.5.3 If the Architect withholds certification for payment under Section 9.5.1.3, the Owner may,
at its sole option, issue joint checks to the Contractor and to any Subcontractor or material or
equipment suppliers to whom the Contractor failed to make payment for Work properly performed or
material or equipment suitably delivered. If the Owner makes payments by joint check, the Owner
shall notify the Architect and the Architect will reflect such payment on the next Certificate for
Payment.

§ 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 pay each Subcontractor no later than seven days after receipt of
payment from the Owner the amount to which the Subcontractor is entitled, reflecting percentages
actually retained from payments to the Contractor on account of the 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 Owner has the right to request written evidence from the Contractor that the Contractor
has properly paid Subcontractors and material and equipment suppliers amounts paid by the Owner to
the Contractor for subcontracted Work. If the Contractor fails to furnish such evidence within
seven days, the Owner shall have the right to contact Subcontractors to ascertain whether they have
been properly paid. 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.

§ 9.6.4 Contractor payments to material and equipment suppliers shall be treated in a manner
similar to that provided in Sections 9.6.2 and 9.6.3.

§ 9.6.5 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.

§ 9.6.6 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.

(Paragraph deleted)

§ 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 binding dispute resolution, 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.

§ 9.7.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall the Contractor stop the Work in
connection with any withholding of payment for an item or failure to make payment relating to an
item made in connection with a good faith dispute.

§ 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. No portion of the Work will be considered substantially complete until
all of the following requirements have been met for each phase:

	 	.1	 	all of the Project parts and systems are accessible, operable and usable by the Owner;
	 
	 	.2	 	the Project is clean, as defined elsewhere in the Contract Documents;
	 
	 	.3	 	preliminary operation and maintenance manuals have been submitted to the Architect;

	 	.4	 	preliminary training of the Owner’s personnel has taken place as required
elsewhere in the Specifications;

	 	.5	 	annotated Record Drawings have been submitted to the Architect; and

	 	.6	 	all federal, state and local authorities having jurisdiction over the Project
have issued the requisite certifications and/or approvals so that the Owner can occupy
or utilize the Work for its intended purpose.

A Temporary or Conditional Certificate of Occupancy shall not be sufficient for the purposes of
determining Substantial Completion.

For the purposes of establishing the commencement of any warranties, substantial completion shall
be upon receipt of certificate of occupancy and use by the Owner.

§ 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 and Owner will make an inspection to
determine whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the
Architect’s or Owner’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 or Owner. In such case, the Contractor shall then
submit a request for another inspection by the Architect or Owner to determine Substantial
Completion.

§ 9.8.4 When the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete, the Architect will
prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion that 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.

§ 9.8.6 The Owner shall be entitled to withhold two (2) times the estimated cost of the items set
forth on the list accompanying the Certificate of Substantial Completion as determined initially by
the Contractor, subject to approval by the Architect and Owner. These amounts shall be deducted
from any payments due and owing Contractor and held until all items have been completed to the
satisfaction of the Owner and the Architect.

§ 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 11.3.1.5 and authorized
by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Project. 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.

§ 9.9.2 Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use, the Owner and Contractor 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 the Contractor’s 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. All
warranties and guarantees required under or pursuant to the Contract Documents shall be assembled
and delivered by the Contractor to the Owner as part of the final Application for Payment. The
final payment will not be made by the Owner until all warranties and guarantees have been received
and accepted by the Owner and the Owner has received all final Waivers.

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

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

10.2.1.2 and 10.2.1.3 caused in whole or in part by the Contractor, a Subcontractor, a
Sub-subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or by anyone for whose
acts they may be liable and for which the Contractor is responsible under Sections 10.2.1.2 and
10.2.1.3, except damage or loss attributable to acts or omissions of the Owner or Architect or
anyone directly or indirectly employed by either of them, or by anyone for whose acts either of
them may be liable, and not attributable to the fault or negligence of the Contractor. The
foregoing obligations of the Contractor are in addition to the Contractor’s obligations under
Section 3.18.

§ 10.2.6 The Contractor shall designate a responsible member of the Contractor’s organization at
the site whose duty shall be the prevention of accidents. This person shall be the Contractor’s
superintendent unless otherwise designated by the Contractor in writing to the Owner and Architect.

§ 10.2.7 The Contractor shall not permit any part of the construction or site to be loaded so as to
cause damage or create an unsafe condition.

§ 10.2.7.1 The Contractor shall report in writing to the Owner and Architect all recordable
accidents arising out of or in connection with the Work.

§ 10.2.7.2 Safety: The Contractor shall take all necessary steps or advisable precautions for 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.

§ 10.4 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

§ 10.4.1 The Contractor is responsible for compliance with any requirements included in the
Contract Documents regarding hazardous materials. If the Contractor encounters a hazardous material
or substance not addressed in the Contract Documents and if reasonable precautions will be
inadequate to prevent foreseeable bodily injury or death to persons resulting from a material or
substance, including but not limited to asbestos or polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), encountered on
the site by the Contractor, the Contractor shall, upon recognizing the condition, immediately stop
Work in the affected area and report the condition to the Owner and Architect in writing.

§ 10.4.2 Upon receipt of the Contractor’s written notice, the Owner shall obtain the services of a
licensed laboratory to verify the presence or absence of the material or substance reported by the
Contractor and, in the event such material or substance is found to be present, to cause it to be
rendered harmless. Unless otherwise required by the Contract Documents, the Owner shall furnish in
writing to the Contractor and Architect the names and qualifications of persons or entities who are
to perform tests verifying the presence or absence of such material or substance or who are to
perform the task of removal or safe containment of such material or substance. The Contractor and
the Architect will promptly reply to the Owner in writing stating whether or not either has
reasonable objection to the
persons or entities proposed by the Owner. If either the Contractor or Architect has an objection
to a person or entity proposed by the Owner, the Owner shall propose another to whom the Contractor
and the Architect have no reasonable objection. When the material or substance has been rendered
harmless, Work in the affected area shall resume upon written agreement of the Owner and
Contractor. By Change Order, the Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and the Contract Sum
shall be increased in the amount of the Contractor’s reasonable additional costs of shut-down,

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 11.3 to be covered, whichever is later. This insurance shall
include interests of the Owner, the Contractor, Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors in the
Project.

requirements, and shall cover reasonable compensation for Architect’s and Contractor’s services and
expenses required as a result of such insured loss.

§ 11.3.1.2 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
that 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.

§ 11.3.1.3 If the property insurance requires deductibles, the Owner shall pay costs not covered
because of such deductibles. Notwithstanding, if the cause of any loss payment under such insurance
is the fault of the Contractor, then the Contractor shall pay such deductible. Owner shall notify
Contractor of the deductible amount for each policy when each policy is initiated and at each
renewal.

portions of the Work in transit.

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

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,

be named insureds.

§
11.3.3 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.

§
11.3.4 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.

§
11.3.5 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
11.3.7 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.

§
11.3.6 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 11.3. 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.

§
11.3.7 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 11.3 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.

§
11.3.8 A loss insured under the 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 11.3.10. 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.

§
11.3.9 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 as determined in accordance with the method of
binding dispute resolution selected in the Agreement between the Owner and Contractor. 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.

ARTICLE 12 UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK

§ 12.1 UNCOVERING OF WORK

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

§ 12.1.2 If a portion of the Work has been covered that the Architect or Owner has not specifically
requested to examine prior to its being covered, the Architect or Owner 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, such costs and the
cost of correction shall be at the Contractor’s expense unless the condition was caused by the
Owner or a separate contractor in which event the Owner shall be responsible for payment of such
costs.

§ 12.2 CORRECTION OF WORK

§ 12.2.1 BEFORE OR AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

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

§ 12.2.2 AFTER SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

§ 12.2.2.1 In addition to the Contractor’s obligations under Section 3.5, if, within one year after
the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof or after the date for
commencement of warranties established under 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 fails to notify the
Contractor and give the Contractor an opportunity to make the correction, the Owner waives the
rights to require correction by the Contractor and to make a claim for breach of warranty. If the
Contractor fails to correct nonconforming Work within a reasonable time during that period after
receipt of notice from the Owner or Architect, the Owner may correct it in accordance with Section
2.4.

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

§ 12.2.2.3 The one-year period for correction of Work shall be extended by corrective Work
performed by the Contractor pursuant to this Section 12.2 with the warranty period being renewed
and recommencing for an additional year on the remedial Work only.

§ 12.2.3 The Contractor shall remove from the site portions of the Work that 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 that 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 the Contractor has 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

If the Owner prefers to accept Work that 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. The Architect shall have no authority to bind the Owner
to accept work to which the Owner objects as being deficient or otherwise inconsistent with the
requirements of the Contract Documents.

ARTICLE 13 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

§ 13.1 GOVERNING LAW

The Contract shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without application
of its choice of law provisions.

agreed in writing.

§ 13.5 TESTS AND INSPECTIONS

§ 13.5.1 Tests, inspections and approvals of portions of the Work shall be made as required by the
Contract Documents and by applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations or
lawful orders of public authorities. 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 and
Owner timely notice of when and where tests and inspections are to be made so that the Architect
and Owner may be present for such procedures. The Owner shall bear costs of (1) tests, inspections
or approvals that do not become requirements until after bids are received or negotiations
concluded, and (2) tests, inspections or approvals where building codes or applicable laws or
regulations prohibit the Owner from delegating their cost to the Contractor.

§ 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,
including testing, professional fees and all costs related to the remedial work.

§ 13.7 TIME LIMITS ON CLAIMS AND SEVERABILITY

The Owner and Contractor shall commence all claims and causes of action, whether in contract, tort,
breach of warranty or otherwise, against the other arising out of or related to the Contract within
the time period specified by applicable law. Wherever possible each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law. If, however,

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
that requires all Work to be stopped;

	 	.2	 	An act of government, such as a declaration of national emergency that 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, including reasonable overhead and profit, direct costs
incurred by reason of such termination, 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 repeatedly 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.

	 	.1	 	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	 	repeatedly disregards applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and
regulations, or lawful orders of a public authority; 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 Initial Decision
Maker 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	 	Exclude the Contractor from the site and take possession 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 written 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 such costs and damages incurred by the Owner, including attorneys fees and other
professional fees and expenses exceeds the unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference
to the Owner.

§ 14.2.5 In the event that the Owner terminates the Contract for cause, the Owner shall have the
right at any time to convert the termination to a termination for convenience pursuant to Section
14.4 and the Contractor shall be limited to the compensation set forth in Section 14.4 and shall
not be entitled to recover any other damages of any kind.

§ 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. In said
event, the Owner shall equitably adjust the Contract Sum and Contract Time, if warranted.

§ 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.

§ 14.4.1 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

ARTICLE 15 CLAIMS AND DISPUTES

§ 15.1 CLAIMS

§ 15.1.1 DEFINITION

A Claim is a demand or assertion by one of the parties seeking, as a matter of right, payment of
money, 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. The responsibility to substantiate Claims shall rest with the party making the
Claim. The Owner shall not be required to assert a claim as a condition precedent to exercising any
rights vested in it by the Contract Documents, by law or in equity

§ 15.1.2 NOTICE OF CLAIMS

Claims by either the Owner or Contractor must be initiated by written notice to the other party
with a copy sent to the Architect. 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.

§ 15.1.3 CONTINUING CONTRACT PERFORMANCE

Pending final resolution of a Claim, except as otherwise agreed in writing or as provided in
Section 9.7 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.
The Owner shall have no obligation to make payments to the Contractor on or against such claims,
disputes or other matters in question during the pendency of any mediation or other proceeding to
resolve such matters except as provided by Article 7.3.9. The Owner shall make payment to the
Contractor of all sums not in dispute.

§ 15.1.4 CLAIMS FOR ADDITIONAL COST

If the Contractor wishes to make a 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 10.4.

§ 15.1.5 CLAIMS FOR ADDITIONAL TIME

If the Contractor wishes to make a 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

§ 15.1.5.1 If adverse weather conditions which could not be reasonably anticipated and have an
adverse affect on the critical path of constructions 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.

§ 15.1.5.2 Extensions of time will not be granted for delays caused by inadequate construction
force or the failure to place orders for equipment or advise Owner for need for ordering of
construction materials sufficiently in advance to insure delivery when needed.

§ 15.1.5.3 When the Contract Time has been extended, as provided herein, such extension of time
shall not be considered as justifying extra compensation to the Contractor for administrative costs
or other similar reasons.

§ 15.1.6 CLAIMS FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES

The Contractor and Owner waive Claims against each other for consequential damages arising out of
or relating to this Contract. This mutual waiver includes

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

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

This mutual waiver is applicable, without limitation, to all consequential damages due to either
party’s termination in accordance with Article 14. Nothing contained in this Section 15.1.6 shall
be deemed to preclude an award of liquidated damages, when applicable, in accordance with the
requirements of the Contract Documents.

§ 15.2 CLAIMS

§ 15.2.1 Either party may file for mediation.

§ 15.2.2 In the event of a Claim against the Contractor, 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 Owner may, but is not obligated to, notify the surety
and request the surety’s assistance in resolving the controversy.

§ 15.2.3 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.

(Paragraphs deleted)

§ 15.3 MEDIATION

§ 15.3.1 Claims, disputes, or other matters in controversy arising out of or related to the
Contract except those waived as provided for in Sections 9.10.4 and 9.10.5, and 15.1.6 shall be
subject to mediation as a condition precedent to litigation.

§ 15.3.2 The parties shall endeavor to resolve their Claims by mediation which, unless the parties
mutually agree otherwise, shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association in
accordance with its Construction Industry Mediation Procedures in effect on the date of the
Agreement. A request for mediation shall be made in writing, delivered to the other party to the
Contract, and filed with the person or entity administering the mediation. The request may be made
concurrently with the filing of litigation proceedings but, in such event, mediation shall proceed
in advance of litigation proceedings, which shall be stayed pending mediation for a period of 60
days from the date of filing, unless stayed for a longer period by agreement of the parties or
court order.

§ 15.3.3 The parties shall share the mediator’s fee and any filing fees equally. The mediation
shall be held in the general area where the Project is located, but not at either the Owner’s or
Contractor’s facilities, and at a location
that is mutually agreed upon. Agreements reached in mediation shall be enforceable as settlement
agreements in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
