tract, such documents are to be returned or suitably
accounted for to the Architect on request at the comple-
tion of the Work. Submission or distribution to meet offi.
cial regulatory requirements or for other purposes in

in the Contract Documents, unless otherwise modified
by written instrument in accordance with Subparagraph
2.2.18.
2.2.3 The Architect will visit the site at intervals appro-
priate to the stage of construction to familiarize himself
generally with the progress and quality of the Work and
to determine in general if the Work is proceeding in ac-
cordance with the Contract Documents. However, the
Architect will not be required to make exhaustive or con-
tinuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quan-
tity of the Work. On the basis of his on-site observations
as an architect, he will keep the Owner informed of the
progress of the 'Nork, and will endeavor to guard the
Owner against defects and deficiencies in the Work of the
Con tractor.
2.2.4 The Architect will not be responsible for and will
not have control or charge of construction means, meth-
ods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for safety
precautions and programs in connection with the Work,
and he will not be responsible for the Contractor's failure
to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents. The Architect will not be responsible for or
have control or charge over the acts or omissions of the
Contractor, Subcontractors, or any of their agents or em-
ployees, or any other persons performing any of the
Work.
2.2.5 The Architect shall at all times have access to the
Work wherever it is in preparation and progress. The
Contractor shall provide facilities for such access so the
Archi tect may perform his functions under the Contract
Documents.
2.2.6 Based on the Architect's observations and an evalu-
ation of the Contractor's Applications for Payment, the
Architect will determine the amounts owing to the Con-
tractor and will issue Certificates for Payment in such
amounts, as provided in Paragraph 9.4.
2.2.7 The Architect will be the interpreter of the require-
ments of the Contract Documents and the judge of the
performance thereunder by both the Owner and Con-
tractor.
2.2.8 The Architect will render interpretations necessary
for the proper execution or progress of the Work, with
reasonable promptness and in accordance with any time
limit agreed upon. Either party to the Contract may make
written request to the Architect for such interpretations.
2.2.9 Claims, disputes and other matters in question be-
tween the Contractor and the Owner relating to the exe-
cution or progress of the Work or the interpretation of the
Contract Documents shall be referred initially to the
Architect for decision which he will render in writing
within a reasonable time.
2.2.10 All interpretations and decisions of the Architect
shall be consistent with the intent of and reasonably in-
ferable from the Contract Documents and will be in writ-
ing or in the form of drawings. In his capacity as inter-
preter and judge, he will endeavor to secure faithful per-
formance by both the Owner and the Contractor, will not
show partiality to either, and will not be liable for the
result of any interpretation or decision rendered in good
faith in such capacity.
2.2.11 The Architect's decisions in matters relating to
artistic effect will be final if consistent with the intent of
the Contract Documents.

between the Contractor and the Owner referred to the
Architect, except those relating to artistic effect as pro-
vided in Subparagraph 2.2.11 and except those which have
been waived by the making or acceptance of final pay-
ment as provided in Subparagraphs 9.9.4 and 9.9.5, shall
be subject to arbitration upon the written demand of ei-
ther party. However, no demand for arbitration of any such
claim, dispute or other matter mav be made until the
earlier of (1) the date on which the Architect has rendered
a written decision, or (2) the tenth day after the parties
have presented their evidence to the Architect or have
been given a reasonable opportunity to do so, if the
Architect has not rendered his written decision by that
date. When such a written decision of the Architect states
(1) that the decision is final but subject to appeal, and
(2) that any demand for arbitration of a claim, dispute or
other matter covered by such decision must be made
within thirty days after the date on which the party mak-
ing the demand receives the written decision, failure to
demand arbitration within said thirty days' period will re-
sult in the Architect's decision becoming final and binding
upon the Owner and the Contractor. If the Architect
renders a decision after arbitration proceedings have been
initiated, such decision mav be entered as evidence but
will not supersede any arbitration proceedings unless the
decision is acceptable to all parties concerned.
2.2.13 The Architect will have authority to reject Work
which does not conform to the Contract Documents.
Whenever, in his opinion, he considers it necessary or
advisable for the implementation of the intent of the
Contract Documents, he will have authority to require
special inspection or testing of the Work in accordance
with Subparagraph 7.7.2 whether or not such Work be
then fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither
the Architect's authority to act under this Subparagraph
2.2.13, nor any decision made by him in good faith either
to exercise or not to exercise such authority, shall give
rise to any duty or responsibility of the Architect to the
Contractor, any Subcontractor, any of their agents or
employees, or any other person performing any of the
Work.
2.2.14 The Architect will review and approve or take
other appropriate action upon Contractor's submittals
such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but
only for conformance with the design concept of the
Work and with the information given in the Contract
Documents. Such action shall be taken with reasonable
promptness so as to cause no delay. The Architect's ap-
proval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of
an assembly of which the item is a component.
2.2.15 The Architect will prepare Change Orders in ac-
cordance with Article 12, and will have authority to order
minor changes in the Work as provided in Subparagraph
12.4.1.

tion to any such proposed person or entity, the Contrac-
tor shall submit a substitute to whom the Owner or the
Architect has no reasonable objection, and the Contract
Sum shall be increased or decrea!.'ed by the difference in

sponsibilities which the Contractor, by these Documents,
assumes toward the Owner and the Architect. Said agree-

agreement, the benefit of all rights, remedies and redress
against the Contractor that the Contractor, by these Docu-
ments, has against the Owner. Where appropriate, the

similar agreements with his Sub-subcontractors. The Con-
tractor shall make available to each proposed Subcon-
tractor, prior to the execution of the Subcontract, copies
of the Contract Documents to which the Subcontractor
will be bound by this Paragraph 5.3, and identify to the
Subcontractor any terms and conditions of the proposed
Subcontract which mav be at variance with the Contract
Documents. Each Subc~ntractor shall similarly make cop-
ies of such Documents available to his Sub-subcontractors.

erlv to Subcontractors or for labor, materials or
equipment,

pleted for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum,

graph 8.1.3, the Contractor shall prepare for submission
to the Architect a list of items to be completed or cor-
rected. The failure to include any items on such list does
not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete
all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
When the Architect on the basis of an inspection deter-
mines that the Work or designated portion thereof is sub-
stantially complete, he will then prepare a Certificate of
Substantial Completion which shall establish the Date of
Substantial Completion, shall state the responsibilities of
the Owner and the Contractor for security, maintenance,
heat. utilities, damage to the Work, and insurance, and

nated portion thereof and upon application by the Con-
tractor and certification by the Architect, the Owner shall

Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the
Contract fully performed, he will promptly issue a final
Certificate for Payment stating that to the best of his
knowledge, information and belief, and on the basis of
his observations and inspections, the Work has been com-
pleted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Contract Documents and that the entire balance found to
be due the Contractor, and noted in said final Certificate,
is due and payable. The Architect's final Certificate for
Payment will constitute a further representation that the
conditions precedent to the Contractor's being entitled to
final payment as set forth in Subparagraph 9.9.2 have been
fulfilled.
9.9.2 Neither the final payment nor the remaining re-
tained percentage shall become due until the Contractor
submits to the Architect (1) an affidavit that all payrolls,
bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness
connected with the Work for which the Owner or his
property might in any way be responsible, have been paid
or otherwise satisfied, (2) consent of surety, if any, to final
payment and (3), if required by the Owner, other data
establishing payment or satisfaction of all such obliga-
tions, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens aris-
ing out of the Contract, to the extent and in such form
as may be designated by the Owner. If any Subcontractor
refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the
Owner, the Contractor may furnish a bond satisfactory to
the Owner to indemnify him against any such lien. If
any such lien remains unsatisfied after all payments are
made, the Contractor shall refund to the Owner all mon-
eys that the latter may be compelled to pay in discharging
such lien, including all costs and reasonable attorneys'
fees.
9.9.3 If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final
completion thereof is materially delayed through no fault
of the Contractor or by the 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 cor-
rected is less than the retainage stipulated in the Contract
Documents. and if bonds have been furnished as provided
in Paragraph 7.5. the written consent of the surety to the
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 the terms
and conditions governing final payment, except that it
shall not constitute a waiver of claims.
9.9.4 The making of final payment shall constitute a
waiver of all claims by the Owner except those arising
from:
.1 unsettled liens,
.2 faulty or defective Work appearing after Substantial
Completion,
.3 failure of the Work to comply with the require-
ments of the Contract Documents, or
.4 terms of any special warranties required by the
Contract Documents.

INSURANCE
11.1 CONTRACTOR'S LIABILITY INSURANCE
11.1.1 The Contractor shall purchase and maintain such
insurance as will protect him from claims set forth below
which may arise out of or result from the Contractor's
operations under the Contract, whether such operations
be by himself or by any Subcontractor or by anyone di-
rectly or indirectly employed by any of them, or by any-
one for whose acts any of them may be liable:
.1 claims under workers' or workmen's compensation,
disability benefit and other similar employee bene-
fit acts;
.2 claims for damages because of bodily injury, oc-
cupational sickness or disease, or death of his
employees;
.3 claims for damages because of bodily injury, sick-
ness or disease, or death of any person other than
his employees;
.4 claims for damages insured by usual personal in-
jury liability coverage which ar:..~ sustained (1) by
any person as a result of an offense directly or in-
directly related to the employment of such person
by the Contractor, or (2) by any other person;
.5 claims for damages, other than to the Work itself,
because of injury to or destruction of tangible
property, including loss of use resulting therefrom;
and
.6 claims for damages because of bodily injury or
death of any person or property damage arising
out of the ownership, maintenance or use of any
motor vehicle.
11.1.2 The insurance required by Subparagraph 11.1.1 shall
be written for not less than any limits of liability specified
in the Contract Documents, or required by law, which-
ever is greater.
11.1.3 The insurance required by Subparagraph 11.1.1
shall include contractual liability insurance applicable to
the Contractor's obligations under Paragraph 4.18.
11.1.4 Certificates of Insurance acceptable to the Owner
shall be filed with the Owner prior to commencement of
the Work. These Certificates shall contain a provision that
.~. -.- ~,. ~- ---.-., -_. -~.- .'.~'''''''''''''''''-';;~..-."",....-- ....-
coverages afforded under the policies will not be can-
celled until at least thirty days' prior written notice has
been given to the Owner.
11.2 OWNER'S LIABILITY INSURANCE
11.2.1 The Owner shall be responsible for purchasing
and maintaining his own liability insurance and, at his
option, may purchase and maintain such insurance as
will protect him against claims which may arise from
operations under the Contract.
11.3 PROPERTY INSURANCE
11.3.1 Unless otherwise provided, the Owner shall pur-
chase and maintain property insurance upon the entire
Work at the site to the full insurable value thereof. This
insurance shall include the interests of the Owner, the
Contractor, Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors in the
Work and shall insure against the perils of fire and ex-
tended coverage and shall include "all risk" insurance for
physical loss or damage including, without duplication of
coverage, theft, vandalism and malicious mischief. If the
Owner does not intend to purchase such insurance for
the full insurable value of the entire Work, he shall in-
form the Contractor in writing prior to commencement
of the Work. The Contractor may then effect insurance
which will protect the interests of himself, his Subcontrac-
tors and the Sub-subcontractors in the Work, and by ap-
propriate Change Order the cost thereof shall be charged
to the Owner. If the Contractor is damaged by failure of
the Owner to purchase or maintain such insurance and to
so notify the Contractor, then the Owner shall bear all
reasonable costs properly attributable thereto. I f not cov-
ered under the all risk insurance or othervvise provided
in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall effect

the Work stored off the site or in transit when such por-
tions of the Work are to be included in an Application
for Payment under Subparagraph 9.3.2.
11.3.2 The Owner shall purchase and maintain such boiler
and machinery insurance as may be required by the Con-
tract Documents or by law. This insurance shall include
the interests of the Owner, the Contractor, Subcontrac-
tors and Sub-subcontractors in the Work.
11.3.3 Any loss insured under Subparagraph 11.3.1 is to
be adjusted with the Owner and made payable to the
Owner as trustee for the insureds, as their interests may
appear, subject to the requirements of any applicable
mortgagee clause and of Subparagraph 11.3.8. The Con-
tractor shall pay each Subcontractor a just share of any
insurance moneys received by the Contractor, and by ap-
propriate agreement, written where legally required for
validity, shall require each Subcontractor to make pay-
ments to his Sub-subcontractors in similar manner.
11.3.4 The Owner shall file a copy of all policies with the
Contractor before an exposure to loss may occur.
11.3.5 If the Contractor requests in writing that insurance
for risks other than those described in Subparagraphs
11.3.1 and 11.3.2 or other special hazards be included in
the property insurance policy, the Owner shall, if pos-
sible, include such insurance, and the cost thereof shall
be charged to the Contractor by appropriate Change
Order.

11.3.6 The Owner and Contractor waive all rights against
(1) each other and the Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors.
agents and employees each of the other, and (2) the
Architect and separate contractors, if any, and their sub-
contractors, sub-subcontractors, agents and employees,
for damages caused by fire or other perils to the extent
covered by insurance obtained pursuant to this Paragraph
11.3 or any other property insurance applicable to the
Work, except such rights as they may have to the pro-
ceeds of such insurance held by the Owner as trustee.
The foregoing waiver afforded the Architect, his agents
and employees shall not extend to the liability imposed
by Subparagraph 4.18.3. The Owner or the Contractor, as
appropriate. shall require of the Architect, separate con-
tractors, Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors by ap-
propriate agreements. written where legally required for
validity, similar waivers each in favor of all other parties
enumerated in this Subparagraph 11.3.6.
t.
11.3.7 If required in writing by any party in interest, the
Owner as trustee shall, upon the occurrence of an insured
loss, give bond for the proper performance of his duties.
He shall deposit in a separate account any money so re-
ceived, and he shall distribute it in accordance with such
agreement as the parties in interest may reach, or in ac-
cordance with an award by arbitration in which case the
procedure shall be as provided in Paragraph i.9. If after
such loss no other special agreement is made, replace-
ment of damaged work shall be covered by an appropri-
ate Change Order.
11.3.8 The Owner as trustee shall have power to adjust
and settle any loss with the insurers unless one of the
parties in interest shall object in writing within five days
after the occurrence of loss to the Owner's exercise of this
power, and if such objection be made, arbitrators shall be
chosen as provided in Paragraph i.9. The Owner as trustee
shall, in that case, make settlement with the insurers in
accordance with the directions of such arbitrators. If dis-
tribution of the insurance proceeds by arbitration is re-
quired, the arbitrators will direct such distribution.
11.3.9 If the Owner finds it necessary to occupy or use a
portion or portions of the Work prior to Substantial Com-
pletion thereof, such occupancy or use shall not com-
mence prior to a time mutually agreed to by the Owner
and Contractor and to which the insurance company or
companies providing the property insurance have con-
sented by endorsement to the policy or policies. This in-
surance shall not be cancelled or lapsed on account of
such partial occupancy or use. Consent of the Contractor
and of the insurance company or companies to such
occupancy or use shall not be unreasonably withheld.
11.4 lOSS OF USE INSURANCE
11.4.1 The Owner, at his option, may purchase and main-
tain such insurance as will insure him against loss Df use
of his property due to fire or other hazards, however
caused. The Owner waives all rights of action against the
Contractor for loss of use of his property, including con-
sequential losses due to fire or other hazards however
caused, to the extent covered by insurance under this
Paragraph 11.4.
ARTICLE 12
CHANGES IN THE WORK
12.1 CHANGE ORDERS
12.1.1 A Change Order is a written order to the Contrac-
tor signed by the Owner and the Architect, issued after
execution of the Contract, authorizing a change in the
Work or an adjustment in the Contract Sum or the Con-
tract Time. The Contract Sum and the Contract Time may
be changed only by Change Order. A Change Order
signed by the Contractor indicates his agreement there-
with, including the adjustment in the Contract Sum or
the Contract Time.
12.1.2 The Owner, without invalidating the Contract, may
order changes in the Work within the general scope of
the Contract consisting of additions, deletions or other
revisions, the Contract Sum and the Contract Time being
adjusted accordingly. All such changes in the Work shall
be authorized by Change Order, and shall be performed
under the applicable conditions of the Contract Docu-
ments.
12.1.3 The cost or credit to the Owner resulting from a
change in the Work shall be determined in one or more
of the following ways:
.1 by mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly
itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating
data to permit evaluation;
,.2 by unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or
subsequently agreed upon;
.3 by cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon
by the parties and a mutually acceptable fixed or
percentage fee; or
.4 by the method provided in Subparagraph 12.1.4.
12.1.4 If none of the methods set forth in Clauses
12.1.3.1,12.1.3.2 or 12.1.3.3 is agreed upon, the Contrac-
tor, provided he receives a written order signed by the
Owner, shall promptly proceed with the Work involved.
The cost of such Work shall then be determined by the
Architect on the basis of the reasonable expenditures and
savings of those performing the Work attributable to the
change, including, in the case of an increase in the Con-
tract Sum, a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit.
In such case, and also under Clauses 12.1.3.3 and 12.1.3.4
above, the Contractor shall keep and present, in such
form as the Architect may prescribe, an itemized account-
ing together with appropriate supporting data for inclu-
sion in a Change Order. Unless otherwise provided in
the Contract Documents, cost shall be limited to the fol-
lowing: cost of materials, including sales tax and cost of
delivery; cost of labor, including social security, old age
and unemployment insurance, and fringe benefits re-
quired by agreement or custom; workers' or workmen's
compensation insurance; bond premiums; rental value of
equipment and machinery; and the additional costs of
supervision and field office personnel directly attributable
to the change. Pending final determination of cost to the
Owner, payments on account shall be made on the Archi-
tect's Certificate for Payment. The amount of credit to be
allowed by the Contractor to the' Owner for any deletion

or change which results in a net decrease in the Contract
Sum will be the amount of the actual l'1et cost as con-
firmed by the Architect. When both additions and credits
covering related Work or substitutions are involved in
anyone change, the allowance for overhead and profit
shall be figured on the basis of the net increase, if any,
with respect to that change.
12.1.5 If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents
or subsequently agreed upon, and if the quantities orig-
inally contemplated are so changed in a proposed Change
Order that application of the agreed unit prices to the
quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial in-
equity to the Owner or the Contractor, the applicable
unit prices shall be equitably adjusted.
12.2 CONCEALED CONDITIONS
12.2.1 Should concealed conditions encountered in the
performance of the Work below the surface of the ground
or should concealed or unknown conditions in an existing
structure be at variance with the conditions indicated by
the Contract Documents, or should unknown physical
conditions below the surface of the ground or should
concealed or unknown conditions in an existing structure
of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordi-
narily encountered and generally recognized as inherent
in work of the character provided for in this Contract, be
encountered, the Contract Sum shall be equitably ad-
justed by Change Order upon claim by either party made
wi th in twen ty days a fter the fi rst observance of the
conditions.
12.3 CLAIMS FOR ADDITIONAL COST
12.3.1 If the Contractor wishes to make a claim for an
increase in the Contract Sum, he shall give the Architect
written notice thereof within twenty days after the occur-
rence of the event giving rise to such claim. This notice
shall be given by the Contractor before proceeding to
execute the Work, except in an emergency endangering
life or property in which case the Contractor shall pro-
ceed in accordance with Paragraph 10.3. No such claim
shall be valid unless so made. If the Owner and the Con-
tractor cannot agree on the amount of the adjustment in
the Contract Sum, it shall be determined by the Architect.
Any change in the Contract Sum resl:Jlting from such
claim shall be authorized by Change Order.
12.3.2 If the Contractor claims that additional cost is in-
volved because of, but not limited to, (1) any written
interpretation pursuant to Subparagraph 2.2.8, (2) any
order by the Owner to stop the Work pursuant to Para-
graph 3.3 where the Contractor was not at fault. (3) any
written order for a minor change in the Work issued pur-
suant to Paragraph 12.4, or (4) failure of payment by the
Owner pursuant to Paragraph 9.7, the Contractor shall
make such claim as provided in Subparagraph 12.3.1.
12.4 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK
12.4.1 The Architect will have authority to order minor
changes in the Work not involving an adjustment in the
Contract Sum or an extension of the Contract Time and
not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Docu-
ments. Such changes shall be effected by written order,
and shall be binding on the Owner and the Contractor.
The Contractor shall carry out such written orders
promptly.

ARTICLE 13
UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK
13.1 UNCOVERING OF WORK
13.1.1 If any portion of the Work should be covered con-
trary to the request of the Architect or to requirements
specifically expressed in the Contract Documents, it must,
if required in writing by the Architect. be uncovered for
his observation and shall be replaced at the Contractor's
expense.
13.1.2 If any other portion of the Work has been covered
which the Architect has not specifically requested to ob-
serve prior to being covered, the Architect may request
to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by the Con-
tractor. If such Work be found in accordance with the
Contract Documents, the cost of uncovering and replace-
ment shall, by appropriate Change Order, be charged to
the Owner. If such Work be found not in accordance with
the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall pay such
costs unless it be found that this condition was caused
by the Owner or a separate contractor as provided in
Article 6, in which event the Owner shall be responsible
for the payment of such costs.
13.2 CORRECTION OF WORK
13.2.1 The Contractor shall promptly correct all Work
rejected by the Architect as defective or as failing to con-
form to the Contract Documents whether observed be-
fore or after Substantial Completion and whether or not
fabricated, installed or completed. The Contractor shall
bear all costs of correcting such rejected Work, including
compensation for the Architect's additional services made
necessary thereby.
13.2.2 If, within one year after the Date of Substantial
Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof or
within one year after acceptance by the Owner of desig-
nated equipment or within such longer period of time as
may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any appli-
cable special warranty required by the Contract Docu-
ments, any of the Work is found to be defective or not in
accordance with the Contract Documents, the Contractor
shall correct it promptly after receipt of a written notice
from the Owner to do so unless the Owner has previously
given the Contractor a written acceptance of such condi-
tion. This obligation shall survive termination of the
Contract. The Owner shall give such notice promptly
after discovery of the condition.
13.2.3 The Contractor shall remove from the site all por-
tions of the Work which are defective or non-conforming
and which have not been corrected under Subparagraphs
4.5.1, 13.2.1 and 13.2.2, unless removal is waived by the
Owner.
(':.
13.2.4 If the Contractor fails to correct defective or non-
conforming Work as provided in Subparagraphs 4.5.1,
13.2.1 and 13.2.2, the Owner may correct it in accordance
with Paragraph 3.4.

13.2.5 If the Contractor does not proceed with the cor-
rection of such defective or non-conforming Work within
a reasonable time fixed by written notice from the Archi-
tect, the Owner may remOve it and may store the mate-
rials or equipment at the expense of the Contractor. If
the Contractor does not pay the cost of such removal
and storage within ten days thereafter, the Owner may
upon ten additional days' written notice sell such Work
at auction or at private sale and shall account for the net
proceeds thereof, after deducting all the costs that should
have been borne by the Contractor, including compensa-
tion for the Architect's additional services made necessary
thereby. If such proceeds of sale do not cover all costs
which the Contractor should have borne. the difference
shall be charged to the Contractor and an appropriate
Change Order shall be issued. If the payments then or
thereafter due the Contractor are not sufficient to cover
such amount, the Contractor shall pay the difference to
the Owner.
13.2.6 The Contractor shall bear the cost of making good
all work of the Owner or separate contractors destroyed
or damaged by such correction or removal.
13.2.7 Nothing contained in this Paragraph 13.2 shall be
construed to establish a period of limitation with respect
to any other obligation which the Contractor might have
under the Contract Documents, including Paragraph 4.5
hereof. The establishment of the time period of one year
after the Date of Substantial Completion or such longer
period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the
terms of any warranty required by the Contract Docu-
ments relates only to the specific obligation of the Con-
tractor to correct the Work, and has no relationship to
the time within which his obligation to comply with the
Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor
to the time within which proceedings may be com-
menced to establish the Contractor's liability with respect
to his obligations other than specifically to correct the
Work.
13.3 ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE OR NON-CONFORMING
WORK
13.3.1 If the Owner prefers to accept defective or non-
conforming Work, he may do so instead of requiring its
removal and correction, in which case a Change Order
will be issued to reflect a reduction in the Contract Sum
where appropriate and equitable. Such adjustment shall
be effected whether or not final payment has been made.
ARTICLE 14
TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT
TERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTOR
If the Work is stopped for a period of thirty days
an order of any court or other public authority
14.1
14.1.1
under
having jurisdiction, or as a result of an act of government,
such as a declaration of a national emergency making
materials unavailable, through no act or fault of the
Contractor or a Subcontractor or their agents or employ-
ees or any other persons performing any of the Work
under a contract with the Contractor, or if the Work
should be stopped for a period of thirty days by the
Contractor because the Architect has not issued a Certifi-
cate for Payment as provided in Paragraph 9.7 or because
the Owner has not made payment thereon as provided in
Paragraph 9.7, then the Contractor may, upon seven addi-
tional days' written notice to the Owner and the Archi-
tect, terminate the Contract and recover from the Owner
payment for all Work executed and for any proven loss
sustained upon any materials, equipment, tools, construc-
tion equipment and machinery, including reasonable
profit and damages.
14.2 TERMINATION BY THE OWNER
14.2.1 If the Contractor is adjudged a bankrupt, or if he
makes a general assignment for the benefit of his credi-
tors, or if a receiver is appointed on account of his in-
solvency, or if he persistently or repeatedly refuses or
fails, except in cases for which extension of time is pro-
vided, to supply enough properly skilled workmen or
proper materials, or if he fails to make prompt payment
to Subcontractors or for materials or labor, or persistently
disregards laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders
of any public authority having jurisdiction, or otherwise
is guilty of a substantial violation of a provision of the
Contract Documents, then the Owner, upon certification
by the Architect that sufficient cause exists to justify such
action, may, without prejudice to any right or remedy and
after giving the Contractor and his surety, if any, seven
days' written notice, terminate the employment of the
Contractor and take possession of the site and of all mate-
rials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and
machinery thereon owned by the Contractor and may
finish the Work by whatever method he may deem
expedient. In such case the Contractor shall not be en-
titled to receive any further payment until the Work is
finished.
14.2.2 If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum exceeds
the costs of finishing the Work, including compensation
for the Architect's additional services made necessary
thereby, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If
such costs exceed the unpaid balance, the Contractor
shall pay the difference to the Owner. The amount to be
paid to the Contractor or to the Owner, as the case may
be, shall be certified by the Architect. upon application,
in the manner provided in Paragraph 9.4, and this obliga-
tion for payment shall survive the termination of the
Con tract.
