ARTICLE 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS

§ 1.1 BASIC DEFINITIONS

§ 1.1.1 THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

The Contract Documents are enumerated in the Agreement between the Owner and Contractor (hereinafter the
Agreement) and consist of the Agreement, Conditions of the Contract (General, Supplementary and other Conditions),
Drawings, Specifications, Addenda issued prior to execution of the Contract, other documents listed in the Agreement
and Modifications issued after execution of the Contract. A Modification is (1) a written amendment to the Contract
signed by both parties, (2) a Change Order, (3) a Construction Change Directive or (4) a written order for a minor
change in the Work issued by the Architect and agreed to in writing by the Owner. Unless specifically enumerated in
the Agreement, the Contract Documents include the advertisement or invitation to bid, Instructions to Bidders,
sample forms, other information furnished by the Owner in anticipation of receiving bids or proposals, the
Contractor’s bid or proposal, or portions of Addenda relating to bidding requirements.

§ 1.1.2 THE CONTRACT

The Contract Documents form the Contract for Construction. The Contract represents the entire and integrated
agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes prior negotiations, representations or agreements, either written
or oral. The Contract may be amended or modified only by a Modification. The Contract Documents shall not be
construed to create a contractual relationship of any kind (1) between the 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’s consultants or (4) between any persons or entities other than the Owner and the Contractor. The
Architect shall, however, be entitled to performance and enforcement of obligations under the Contract intended to
facilitate performance of the Architect’s duties.

§ 1.1.3 THE WORK

The term "Work" means the construction and services required by the Contract Documents, whether completed or
partially completed, and includes all other labor, materials, equipment and services provided or to be provided by the
Contractor to fulfill the Contractor’s obligations. The Work may constitute the whole or a part of the Project.

§ 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

Instruments of Service are representations, in any medium of expression now known or later 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.

§ 1.1.8 INITIAL DECISION MAKER
The Initial Decision Maker is the person identified in the Agreement to render initial decisions on Claims in
accordance with Section 15.2 and certify termination of the Agreement under Section 14.2.2.

§ 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.

The City of Nashua has brought together architects, performing arts center experts, community leaders, arts and
performance organizations, private performance oriented businesses, elected officials, and the broader
community to the conversation. The City and its consultants have produced a report and plan that indicate that
the 201 Main Street Building (formerly Alec's Shoes) would be the best site, and that an audience size of 500-700

is the right fit for the region.

At this time, the City is working through the process of approval for a bond measure for this project. The total
amount of the bond is $15.5 million. This bond will support both purchasing the building, and the construction
and fit up for this modern venue. in addition, project organizers will also have to raise $4 million from private
donations te make the project possible and most importantly - truly feasible. These private funds will ensure an

endowment that will produce substantial revenue, and offset the cost of ongoing operations of the project.

We, the undersigned, petition the Nashua, NH Board of Aldermen te unanimously vote yes on the passage of
legislation relative to bonding the proposed Performing Arts Center at a meeting of the full Board of Aldermen

at 7 pm on Tuesday, September 42th.
