<br />the Contract Documents and check and verify pertinent figures
<br />shown thereon and all applicable field measurements. They
<br />shall at once report in writing to City any conflict, error, or
<br />discrepancy which they may discover; however, they shall not
<br />be liable to City for their failure to discover any conflict, error,
<br />or discrepancy in the Specifications.
<br />
<br />1.40 Pre-Start Meeting:
<br />Within five (5) days after delivery of the executed Agreement
<br />by City to Contractor, but before starting the Work at the site, a
<br />Pre-Start conference will be held to review the above schedules,
<br />and for processing Statement of Services, and to establish a
<br />working understanding between the parties as to the Project.
<br />Present at the conference will be the City representative and
<br />the Contractor.
<br />
<br />1.41 Correlation, Interpretation, and Intent of Contract
<br />Documents: It is the intent of the Specifications to
<br />describe a complete Project to be delivered in accordance
<br />with the Contract Documents. The Contract Documents
<br />comprise the entire Agreement between the City and the
<br />Contractor. They may be altered only by a Modification.
<br />The Contract Documents are complementary; what is
<br />called for by one is as binding as if called for by all. If
<br />Contractor finds a conflict, error or discrepancy in the
<br />Contract Documents, they shall call it to the City's
<br />attention in writing at once and before proceeding with
<br />the Work affected thereby. The various Contract
<br />Documents shall be given precedence in case of conflict,
<br />error or discrepancy, as follows: Change Orders,
<br />Supplemental General Conditions, Agreement
<br />Modifications, Addenda, Special Conditions, Instructions
<br />to Proposers, General Conditions, and Specifications. If
<br />the requirements of other Contract Documents are more
<br />stringent than those of the Supplemental General
<br />Conditions, the more stringent requirements shall apply.
<br />The words "furnish" and "furnish and install", "install",
<br />and "provide" or words with similar meaning shall be
<br />interpreted, unless otherwise specifically stated, to mean
<br />"furnish and install complete in place and ready for
<br />service". Miscellaneous items and accessories which are
<br />not specifically mentioned, but which are essential to
<br />produce a complete and properly operating installation,
<br />or usable structure or plant, providing the indicated
<br />function, shall be furnished and installed without change
<br />in the Contract Price. Such miscellaneous items and
<br />accessories shall be of the same quality standards,
<br />including material, style, finish, strength, class, weight
<br />and other applicable characteristics, as specified for the
<br />major component of which the miscellaneous item or
<br />accessory is an essential part, and shall be approved by
<br />the City before installation. The above requirement is not
<br />intended to include major components not covered by or
<br />inferable from the Specifications. The Work of all trades
<br />under this Contract shall be coordinated by the
<br />Contractor in such manner as to obtain the best
<br />workmanship possible for the entire Project, and all
<br />components of the Work shall be installed or erected in
<br />accordance with the best practices of the particular trade.
<br />
<br />1.42 Availability of Lands: The City will furnish, as
<br />indicated in the Contract Documents, the lands upon which the
<br />Work is to be done, rights-of-way for access thereto, and such
<br />other lands which are designed for the use of the Contractor.
<br />Easements for permanent structures or permanent changes in
<br />existing facilities will be obtained and paid for by the City unless
<br />otherwise specified in the Contract Documents.

<br />organization, except as may otherwise be required
<br />by law. City may furnish to any Sub-Contractor or

<br />Contractor on account of specified Work done in
<br />accordance with the schedule values.
<br />
<br />1.44.3. The divisions and sections of the Specifications shall
<br />not control the Contractor in dividing the Work
<br />among Sub-Contractors or delineating the Work
<br />performed by any specific trade.
<br />

<br />Contractor to the applicable terms and conditions of
<br />the Contract Documents for the benefit of the City.

<br />to the Work to bind Sub-Contractors to the
<br />Contractor by the terms of these General Conditions
<br />and other Contract Documents insofar as applicable
<br />to the Work of Sub-Contractors, and give the
<br />Contractor the same power as regards to
<br />terminating any subcontract that the City may
<br />exercise over the Contractor under any provisions of
<br />the Contract Documents.
