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 change unless the Contractor has acted promptly and responsively in
submitting names as required.
§ 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 agreement, written where legally required for validity, the Contractor shall require each Subcontractor,
to the extent of the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor, to be bound to the Contractor by terms of the Contract
Documents, and to assume toward the Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities, including the responsibility
for safety of the Subcontractor’s Work, which the Contractor, by these Documents, assumes toward the Owner and
Architect. Each subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of the Owner and Architect under the
Contract Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor so that subcontracting thereof will
not prejudice such rights, and shall allow to the Subcontractor, unless specifically provided otherwise in the
subcontract agreement, the benefit of all rights, remedies and redress against the Contractor that the Contractor, by the
Contract Documents, has against the Owner. Where appropriate, the Contractor shall require each Subcontractor to
enter into similar agreements with Sub-subcontractors. The Contractor shall make available to each proposed
Subcontractor, prior to the execution of the subcontract agreement, copies of the Contract Documents to which the
Subcontractor will be bound, and, upon written request of the Subcontractor, identify to the Subcontractor terms and
conditions of the proposed subcontract agreement that may be at variance with the Contract Documents.
Subcontractors will similarly make copies of applicable portions of such documents available to their respective
proposed Sub-subcontractors.
§ 5.4 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
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.
When the Owner accepts the assignment of a subcontract agreement, the Owner assumes the Contractor’s rights and
obligations under the subcontract.
§ 5.4.2 Upon such assignment, if the Work has been suspended for more than 30 days, the Subcontractor’s
compensation shall be equitably adjusted for increases in cost resulting from the suspension.
§ 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. If the Owner assigns the subcontract to a successor contractor or other entity, the
Owner shall nevertheless remain legally responsible for ail of the successor contractor’s obligations under the
subcontract.
