<br />Contractor, Contractor shall submit to Consultant for approval, an estimated progress schedule indicating
<br />the starting and completion dates of the various stages of the Work, and a preliminary schedule of Shop
<br />Drawing submissions. The Consultant shall approve this schedule or require revisions thereto within
<br />seven (7) days of its submittal. If there is more than one Contractor involved in a Project the
<br />responsibility for coordinating the Work of all Contractors shall be as provided in the Special Conditions
<br />and Contract Documents. Within five (5) days after delivery of the executed Agreement by City to
<br />Contractor, but before starting the Work at the site, a preconstruction conference will be held to review
<br />the above schedules, to establish procedures for handling Shop Drawings and other submissions, and for
<br />processing Applications for Payment, and to establish a working understanding between the parties as to
<br />the Project. Present at the conference will be the City representative, Consultant, Resident Project
<br />Representatives, Contractor and their Superintendent.
<br />
<br />5.11. Qualifications of Subcontractors, Materialmen and Suppliers: Within five (5)
<br />calendar days after bid opening, the apparent lowest responsible and responsive Bidder will submit to the
<br />City and the Consultant for acceptance a list of the names of Subcontractors and such other persons and
<br />organizations (including those who are to furnish principal items of materials or equipment) proposed for
<br />those portions of the Work as to which the identity of Subcontractors and other persons and
<br />organizations must be submitted as specified in the Contract Documents. Within thirty (30) working days
<br />after receiving the list, the Consultant will notify the Contractor in writing if either the City or the
<br />Consultant, after due investigation, has reasonable objection to any Subcontractor, person, or
<br />organization on such list. The failure of the City or the Consultant to make objection to any
<br />Subcontractor, person, or organization on the list within thirty (30) days of the receipt shall constitute an
<br />acceptance of such Subcontractor, person or organization. Acceptance of any such Subcontractor,
<br />person or organization shall not constitute a waiver of any right of the City or the Consultant to reject
<br />defective Work, material or equipment, or Work, material or equipment not in conformance with the
<br />requirements of the Contract Documents.
<br />
<br />If, prior to the Notice of Award, the City or the Consultant has reasonable objection to and refuses to
<br />accept any Subcontractor, person or organization listed, the apparent lowest responsible and responsive
<br />Bidder may, prior to Notice of Award either (i) submit an acceptable substitute without an increase in
<br />their bid price.
<br />
<br />5.12. Correlation, Interpretation, and Intent of Contract Documents: It is the intent of the
<br />Specifications and Drawings to describe a complete Project to be delivered in accordance with the
<br />Contract Documents. The Contract Documents comprise the entire Agreement between the City and the
<br />Contractor. They may be altered only by a Modification. The Contract Documents are complementary;
<br />what is called for by one is as binding as if called for by all. If Contractor finds a conflict, error or
<br />discrepancy in the Contract Documents, they shall call it to the City's attention in writing at once and
<br />before proceeding with the Work affected thereby, however, they may not be liable to City or Consultant
<br />for their failure to discover any conflict, error or discrepancy in the Specifications or Drawings. The
<br />various Contract Documents shall be given precedence in case of conflict, error or discrepancy, as
<br />follows: Change Orders, Supplemental General Conditions, Agreement Modifications, Addenda, Special
<br />Conditions, Instructions to Bidders, General Conditions, Drawings and Specifications. If the requirements
<br />of other Contract Documents are more stringent than those of the Supplemental General Conditions, the
<br />more stringent requirements shall apply. The words "furnish" and "furnish and install", "install", and
<br />"provide" or words with similar meaning shall be interpreted, unless otherwise specifically stated, to
<br />mean "furnish and install complete in place and ready for service". Miscellaneous items and accessories
<br />which are not specifically mentioned, but which are essential to produce a complete and properly
<br />operating installation, or usable structure or plant, providing the indicated function, shall be furnished
<br />and installed without change in the Contract Price. Such miscellaneous items and accessories shall be of
