requirements of the Work. Neither O\~ner's review nor
approval of any interim design submissions and
Construction Documents shall be deemed to transfer
any design liability from Design-Builder to Owner.
2.4.4 To the extent not prohibited by the Contract
Documents or Legal Requirements, Design-Builder
may prepare interim design submissions and
Construction Documents for a portion of the Work to
permit construction to proceed on that portion of the

loss, damage or accident arising from the Work to
Owner's Representative and, to the extent mandated
by Legal Requirements, to all government or quasi-
government authorities having jurisdiction over safety-
related matters involving the Project or the Work,
2.8.3 Design-Builder's responsibility for safety
under this Section 2.8 is not intended in any way to
relieve Subcontractors and Sub-Subcontractors of their
own contractual and legal obligations and
responsibility for (i) complying with all Legal
Requirements, including those related to health and
safety matters, and (ii) taking all necessary measures to
implement and monitor all safety precautions and
programs to guard against injury, losses, damages or
accidents resulting from their performance of the
Work.

workmanship. Design-Builder's warranty obligation
excludes defects caused by abuse, alterations, or failure
to maintain the Work by persons other than Design-
Builder or anyone for whose acts Design-Builder may
be liable. Nothing in this warranty is intended to limit
any manufacturer's warranty which provides Owncr
with greater warranty rights than set forth in this
Section 2.9 or the Contract Documents. Design-
Builder will provide Owner with all manufacturers'
warranties upon Final Completion.

shall be responsible for all reasonable costs incurred by
4
Owner in performing such correction. If the
nonconforming Work creates an emergency requiring
an immediate response, the seven (7) day periods
identified herein shall be deemed inapplicable.
2.10.3 The one year period referenced in Section
2.10.1 above applies only to Design-Builder's
obligation to correct nonconforming Work and is not
intended to constitute a period of limitations for any
other rights or remedies Owner may have regarding
Design-Builder's other obligations under the Contract
Documents.

Hazardous Conditions and Differing
Site Conditions
4.1 Hazardous Materials
4.1.1 Disclosure, Identification and Handling.
The Design-Builder must maintain at the Site, available
to the Owner, appropriate information pertaining to all
Hazardous Materials brought to the Site. Such
materials must be properly labeled or identified, and
the Design-Builder must properly store, handle and use
them at all times. Manufacturers and distributors are
required by the federal Hazard Communication
Standard (29 CFR SSI910.1200) and Florida Statute
252 to label each Hazardous Material or chemical
container, and to provide Material Safety Data sheets to
the purchaser. The Design-Builder must comply with
these laws and must provide the Owner with copies of
all relevant documents, including Material Safety Data
sheets prior to performance or services or
contemporaneous with delivery of goods. The Design-
Builder must provide and designate appropriate and
secure areas for their storage and must notify the
Owner of their presence and location at the Site. The
Design-Builder must not store Hazardous Materials at
the Site in excess of those reasonably needed for the
Design-Builder's currcnt operations, and must properly
remove or dispose of all Hazardous Materials,
including combustible waste, as soon as possible after
completion of the operations in which they are utilized.
4.1.2 Discovery of Hazardous Materials at the
Site In the event the Design-Builder encounters on the
Site material reasonably believed to be a Hazardous
Material (other than those for which the Design-
Builder may have specific responsibility for
remediation under the Contract), and the Design-
Builder's reasonable precautions will be inadequate to
prevent foreseeable damage or injury and the Design-
Builder cannot proceed with the Work in the absence
of the removal, containment or remediation of the
Hazardous Material, the Design-Builder must
immediately stop Work in the area affected and report
the condition to the Owner in writing.
4.1.3 Investigation and Remediation Upon receipt
of notice of suspected hazardous Materials, the Owner
will cause an investigation to be made to verify the
presence and extent of such materials, to determine
whether such materials are in fact hazardous, and the
steps necessary for their removal, containment or
remediation.
4.1.4 Resumption of Work. If the Owner's
investigation confirms the presence of Hazardous
Materials which present a risk of injury or damage
which will not be adequately protected against by the
Design-Bui Ider's reasonable precautions, then the
Work in the affected area must not thereafter be
resumed except at the written direction of the Owner.
The Work in the affected area will be resumed
promptly (i) in the absence of a finding of Hazardous
Material by the Owner, (ii) upon the removal,
containment or remediation of the Hazardous
Materials, or (iii) upon the establishment of appropriate
safety precautions.

Sum or contract Time to account for such action. Any
such requested change in the Contract Sum or Contract
Time must be made in writing within ten (10) days of
6
discovery of the asbestos or polychlorinated biphenyl
(PCB) which has not been rendered hannless giving
rise to the request for the change and must fully
comply with Article 9 or any claim will be deemed
conclusively waived by the Design-Builder.
4.1.6 Reserved
4.2 Differing Site Conditions
4.2.1 Notice of Concealed or Unknown Site
Conditions. No Differing Site Conditions Claims.
The Site is considered Unwarranted. No claim may be
made and no additional compensation, or time
extension, will be granted as a consequence of any
differing site or subsurface conditions encountered by
the Design-Builder. Unwarranted Site means the
Design-Builder is responsible for undertaking and
completing all excavation work specified in the
contract at the contract Sum and within the Contract
Time regardless of subsurface conditions encountered
whether those conditions be naturally occurring, man-
made or artificial and includes all unexpected,
unanticipated or unforeseen geoteclmical conditions,
materials dumped or artificially place on the Site or
buried, man-made obstacles or debris such as rubble,
underground tanks, abandoned or unknown utilities or
pipes or similar artificial or man-made conditions. The
presence of differing subsurface conditions (whether
naturally occurring or man-made or artificial) or
increases or decreases in quantities of subsurface
conditions indicated, does not entitle the Design-
Builder to additional compensation or any extension of
time beyond the Contract Sum and Contract Time for
completion of the Work specified in the Contract.
Notwithstanding anything contrary, Design-Builder's
responsibility arising from unforeseen conditions shall
not exceed 1 % of the contract price or $5,000,00,
whichever is greater.

services, conditioned upon Owner issuing a written
order to Design-Builder (i) directing Design-Builder to
proceed and (ii) specifying Owner's interpretation of
the services that are to be performed. If this occurs,

amounts, with the express understanding that (i) such
payment by Owner does not prejudice Owner's right to
argue that it has no responsibility to pay for such

seek full payment of the disputed services if Owner's
order is deemed to be a change to the Work.
