1. Whenever in the Contract Documents the terms “as allows,” “as approved,” or terms of like effect or
import are used, or the adjectives “reasonable,” “suitable,” “acceptable,” “proper,” “satisfactory,” or
adjectives of like effect or import are used to describe an action or determination of ENGINEER as to the
Work, it is intended that such action or determination will be solely to evaluate, in general, the completed
Work for compliance with the requirements of and information in the Contract Documents and conformance
with the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as shown or indicated in the
Contract Documents (unless there is a specific statement indicating otherwise). The use of any such term or
adjective shall not be effective to assign to ENGINEER any duty or authority to supervise or direct the
performance of the Work or any duty or authority to undertake responsibility contrary to the provisions of
paragraph 9.10 or any other provision of the Contract Documents.

22 ee

B. Day

1. The work “day” shall constitute a calendar day of regular working hours except Saturdays, Sundays and
any legal holiday.

deficient in that it does not conform to the Contract Documents or does not meet the requirements of any
inspection, reference standard, test, or approval referred to in the Contract Documents, or has been damaged
prior to ENGINEER’s recommendation of final payment (unless responsibility for the protection thereof has
been assumed by OWNER at Substantial Completion in accordance with paragraph 14.04 or 14.05).

mean to furnish and install said services, materials, or equipment complete and ready for intended use.

4. When “furnish,” “install,” “perform,” or “provide” is not used in connection with services, materials, or
equipment in a context clearly requiring an obligation of CONTRACTOR, “provide” is implied.

construction industry or trade meaning are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized
meaning.

CONTRACTOR shall carefully study and compare the Contract Documents and check and verify pertinent
figures therein and all applicable field measurements. CONTRACTOR shall promptly report in writing to

GC - 8 of 57

ENGINEER any conflict, error, ambiguity, or discrepancy which CONTRACTOR may discover and shall obtain
a written interpretation or clarification from ENGINEER before proceeding with any Work affected thereby:
however, CONTRACTOR shall not be liable to OWNER or ENGINEER for failure to report any conflict, error,
ambiguity, or discrepancy in the Contract Documents unless CONTRACTOR knew or reasonably should have
known thereof.

B. Preliminary Schedules: Within ten days after the effective Date of the Agreement (unless otherwise specified
in the General Requirements), CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for its timely review:

1.A preliminary progress schedule indicating the times (numbers of days or dates) for starting and
completing the various stages of the Work, including any Milestones specified in the Contract Documents;

2. A preliminary schedule of Shop Drawing and Sample submittals which will list each required submittal
and the times for submitting, reviewing, and processing such submittal; and

3. A preliminary schedule of values for all of the Work which includes quantities and prices of items which
when added together equal the Contract Price and subdivides the Work into component parts in sufficient
detail to serve as the basis for progress payments during performance of the Work. Such prices will include
an appropriate amount of overhead and profit applicable to each item of Work.

deliver to the other, with copies to each additional insured identified in the Supplementary Conditions,

be held to review for acceptability to ENGINEER as provided below the schedules submitted in accordance with
paragraph 2.05.B. CONTRACTOR shall have an additional ten days to make corrections and adjustments and to
complete and resubmit the schedules. No progress payment shall be made to CONTRACTOR until acceptable
schedules are submitted to ENGINEER.

1. The progress schedule will be acceptable to ENGINEER if it provides an orderly progression of the Work
to completion within any specified Milestones and the Contract Times. Such acceptance will not impose on
ENGINEER responsibility for the progress schedule, for sequencing, scheduling, or progress of the Work nor
interfere with or relieve CONTRACTOR from CONTRACTOR’s full responsibility therefore.

2. CONTRACTOR’s schedule of Shop Drawing and Sample submittals will be acceptable to ENGINEER if
it provides a workable arrangement for reviewing and processing the required submittals.

3. CONTRACTOR’s schedule of values will be acceptable to ENGINEER as to form and substance if it

the Effective Date of the Agreement if there were no Bids), except as may be otherwise specifically stated in
the Contract Documents.

effective to change the duties or responsibilities of OWNER, CONTRACTOR, or ENGINEER, or any of
their subcontractors, consultants, agents, or employees from those set forth in the Contract Documents, nor
shall any such provision or instruction be effective to assign to OWNER, ENGINEER, or any of
ENGINEER’s Consultants, agents, or employees any duty or authority to supervise or direct the performance
of the Work or any duty or authority to undertake responsibility inconsistent with the provisions of the
Contract Document.

3.03 Reporting and Resolving Discrepancies
A. Reporting Discrepancies

1. If, during the performance of the Work, CONTRACTOR discovers any conflict, error, ambiguity, or
discrepancy within the Contract Documents or between the Contract Documents and any provision of any
Law or Regulation applicable to the performance of the Work or of any standard, specification, manual or
code, or of any instruction of any Supplier, CONTRACTOR shall report it to ENGINEER in writing at once.

OWNER or ENGINEER for failure to report any such conflict, error, ambiguity, or discrepancy unless
CONTRACTOR knew or reasonably should have known thereof.

over Standard Specifications, and Construction Specifications will govern over both Drawings and Standard
Specifications. The CONTRACTOR shall take no advantage of any apparent error or omission in the
Drawings or Construction Specifications, and the ENGINEER will be permitted to make such corrections and
interpretations as may be deemed necessary to fulfill the intent of the Contract Documents.

neglect, misconduct, or omission in its manner or method of execution or the non-execution of the work, or
caused by defective work or the use of unsatisfactory materials, and such responsibility shall not be released until
the work shall have been completed and accepted and the requirements of the Construction Specifications
complied with.

G. Whenever public or private property is so damaged or destroyed, the CONTRACTOR shall at its own
expense, restore such property to a condition equal to that existing before such damage or injury was done by
repairing, rebuilding, or replacing it as may be directed, or the CONTRACTOR shall otherwise make good such
damage or destruction in an acceptable manner. If the CONTRACTOR fails to do so, the ENGINEER may, after
giving the CONTRACTOR notice in writing, proceed to repair, rebuild, or otherwise restore such property as
may be deemed necessary, and the cost thereof shall be deducted from any compensation due, or which may
become due, the CONTRACTOR under its Contract.

contiguous to the Site (except Underground Facilities) that ENGINEER has used in preparing the Contract
Documents.

B. Limited Reliance by CONTRACTOR on Technical Data Authorized:

CONTRACTOR may rely upon the general accuracy of the “technical data” contained in such reports and
drawings, but such reports and drawings are not Contract Documents. Such “technical data” is identified in the
Supplementary Conditions. Except for such reliance on such “technical data,” CONTRACTOR may not rely
upon or make any Claim against OWNER, ENGINEER, or any of ENGINEER’s Consultants with respect to:

1. The completeness of such reports and drawings for CONTRACTOR’s purposes, including, but not limited
to, any aspects of the means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures of construction to be employed

by CONTRACTOR, and safety precautions and programs incident thereto; or
