for
whose business address is

2. I understand that a "public entity crime" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1 )(g), Florida Statutes,
means a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to
the transaction of business with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any
other state or of the United States, including, but not limited to, any bid or contract for goods or
services to be provided to any public entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other
state or of the United States and involving antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering,
conspiracy, or material misrepresentation.
3. I understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Paragraph 287 .133( 1 )(b), Florida
Statues, means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an

General Contractors of America, American Institute of Architects, American Subcontractors Association, and the Associated Specialty
Contractors.
1. The Contractor and the Surety, jointly and severally, bind
themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns to the Owner for the performance of the Construction Contract,
which is incorporated herein by reference.
2. If the Contractor performs the Construction Contract, the Surety and
the Contractor shall have no obligation under this Bond, except to
participate in conferences as provided in Subparagraph 3.1.
3. If there is no Owner Default, the Surety's obligation under this Bond
shall arise after:
3.1. The Owner has notified the Contractor and the Surety at its
address described in Paragraph 10 below, that the Owner is
considering declaring a Contractor Default and has
requested and attempted to arrange a conference with the
Contractor and the Surety to be held not later than fifteen
days after receipt of such notice to discuss methods of
performing the Construction Contract. If the Owner, the
Contractor and the Surety agree, the Contractor shall be
allowed a reasonable time to perform the Construction
Contract, but such an agreement shall not waive the
Owner's right, if any, subsequently to declare a Contractor
Default: and
3.2. The Owner has declared a Contractor Default and formally
terminated the Contractor's right to complete the contract.
Such Contractor Default shall not be declared earlier than
twenty days after the Contractor and the Surety have
received notice as provided in Subparagraph 3.1: and
3.3. The Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of the Contract
Price to the Surety in accordance with the terms of the
Construction Contract or to a contractor selected to perform
the Construction Contract in accordance with the terms of
the contract with the Owner.
4. When the Owner has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 3, the
Surety shall promptly and at the Surety's expense take one of the
following actions:
4.1. Arrange for the Contractor, with consent of the Owner, to
perform and complete the Construction Contract: or
4.2. Undertake to perform and complete the Construction

contractors: or
4.3. Obtain bids or negotiated proposals from qualified
contractors acceptable to the Owner for a contract for
performance and completion of the Constructioil Contract,
arrange for a contract to be prepared for execution by the
Owner and the contractor selected with the Owner's
concurrence, to be secured with performance and payment
bonds executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds
issued on the Construction Contract, and pay to the Owner
the amount of damages as described in Paragraph 6 in
excess of the Balance of the Contract Price incurred by the
Owner resulting from the Contractor's default: or
4.4. Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for
completion, or obtain a new contractor and with reasonable

therefor to the Owner: or
2. Deny liability in whole or in part and notify the Owner
citing reasons therefor.
5. If the Surety does not proceed as provided in Paragraph 4 with
reasonable promptness, the Surety shall be deemed to be in default on
this Bond fifteen days after receipt of an additional written notice from the
Owner to the Surety demanding that the Surety perform its obligations
under this Bond, and the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy
available to the Owner. If the Surety proceeds as provided in
Subparagraph 4.4, and the Owner refuses the payment tendered or the
Surety has denied liability, in whole or in part, without further notice the
Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner.
6. After the Owner has terminated the Contractor's right to complete
the Construction Contract, and if the Surety elects to act under
Subparagraph 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 above, then the responsibilities of the
Surety to the Owner shall not be greater than those of the Contractor
under the Construction Contract, and the responsibilities of the Owner to
the Surety shall not be greater than those of the Owner under the
Construction Contract. To the limit of the amount of this Bond, but
subject to commitment by the Owner of the Balance of the Contract Price
to mitigation of costs and damages on the Construction Contract, the
Surety is obligated without duplication for:
6.1. The responsibilities of the Contractor for correction of
defective work and completion of the Construction Contract:
6.2. Additional legal, design professional and delay costs
resulting from the Contractor's Default, and resulting from
the actions or failure to act of the Surety under Paragraph 4:
and
6.3. Liquidated damages, or if no liquidated damages are
specified in the Construction Contract, actual damages
caused by delayed performance or non-performance of the
Contractor.
7. The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner or others for obligations

Balance of the Contract Price shall not be reduced or set off on account
of any such unrelated obligations. No right of action shall accrue on this
Bond to any person or entity other than the Owner or its heirs, executors,
administrators, or successors.
8. The Surety hereby waives notice of any change, including changes
of time, to the Construction Contract or to related subcontracts, purchase
orders and other obligations.

instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction in the location in which the
work or part of the work is located and shall be instituted within two years
after Contractor Default or within two years after the Contractor ceased
working or within two years after the Surety refuses or fails to perform its
obligations under this Bond, whichever occurs first. If the provisions of
limitation available to sureties as a defense in the jurisdiction of the suit
shall be applicable.
10. Notice to the Surety, the Owner or the Contractor shall be mailed or
delivered to the address shown on the signature page.
11. When this Bond has been furnished to comply with a statutory or
other legal requirement in the location where the construction was to be
performed, any provision in this Bond conflicting with said statutory 01

A. Copies of data furnished by Owner or
Engineer to Contractor or Contractor to Owner or
Engineer that may be relied upon are limited to the
printed copies (also known as hard copies). Files in
electronic media format of text, data, graphics, or
other types are furnished only for the convenience of
the receiving party. Any conclusion or information
obtained or derived from such electronic files will be
at the user's sole risk. If there is a discrepancy
between the electronic files and the hard copies, the
hard copies govern.
B. Because data stored in electronic media
format can deteriorate or be modified inadvertently
or otherwise without authorization of the data's
creator, the party receiving electronic files agrees
that it will perform acceptance tests or procedures
within 60 days, after which the receiving party shall

CONDITIONS;
CONDITIONS;
4.01 Availability of Lands
A. Owner shall furnish the Site. Owner shall
notify Contractor of any encumbrances or
restrictions not of general application but specifically
related to use of the Site with which Contractor must
comply in performing the Work. Owner will obtain in
a timely manner and pay for easements for
permanent structures or permanent changes in
existing facilities. If Contractor and Owner are
unable to agree on entitlement to or on the amount
or extent, if any, of any adjustment in the Contract
Price or Contract Times, or both, as a result of any
delay in Owner's furnishing the Site or a part thereof,
Contractor may make a Claim therefor as provided
in Paragraph 10.05.
B. Upon reasonable written request, Owner
shall furnish Contractor with a current statement of
record legal title and legal description of the lands
upon which the Work is to be performed and
Owner's interest therein as necessary for giving
notice of or filing a mechanic's or construction lien
against such lands in accordance with applicable
Laws and Regulations.
C. Contractor shall provide for all additional
lands and access thereto that may be required for
temporary construction facilities or storage of
materials and equipment.
4.02 Subsurface and Physical Conditions
A. Reports and Drawings: The
Supplementary Conditions identify:
1. those reports of explorations and tests of
subsurface conditions at or contiguous to the Site
that Engineer has used in preparing the Contract
Documents; and
2. those drawings of physical conditions in
or relating to existing surface or subsurface struc-
tures at or contiguous to the Site (except
Underground Facilities) that Engineer has used in
preparing the Contract Documents.
B. Limited Reliance by Contractor on
Technical Data Authorized: Contractor may rely
upon the general accuracy of the "technical data"
contained in such reports and drawings, but such
reports and drawings are not Contract Documents.
Such "technical data" is identified in the
Supplementary Conditions. Except for such reliance
on such "technical data," Contractor may not rely
upon or make any claim against Owner or Engineer,
or any of their Related Entities with respect to:
1. the completeness of such reports and
drawings for Contractor's purposes, including, but
not limited to, any aspects of the means, methods,
techniques, sequences, and procedures of
construction to be employed by Contractor, and
safety precautions and programs incident thereto; or
2. other data, interpretations, opinions, and
information contained in such reports or shown or
indicated in such drawings; or
3. any Contractor interpretation of or
conclusion drawn from any "technical data" or any
such other data, interpretations, opinions, or infor-
mation.

4.03 Differing Subsurface or Physical Conditions
A. Notice: If Contractor believes that any
subsurface or physical condition at or contiguous to
the Site that is uncovered or revealed either:
1. is of such a nature as to establish that any
"technical data" on which Contractor is entitled to
rely as provided in Paragraph 4.02 is materially
inaccurate; or
2. is of such a nature as to require a change
in the Contract Documents; or
3. differs materially from that shown or
indicated in the Contract Documents; or
4. is of an unusual nature, and differs
materially from conditions ordinarily encountered
and generally recognized as inherent in work of the
character provided for in the Contract Documents;
then Contractor shall, promptly after becoming
aware thereof and before further disturbing the
subsurface or physical conditions or performing any
Work in connection therewith (except in an
emergency as required by Paragraph 6.16.A), notify
Owner and Engineer in writing about such condition.
Contractor shall not further disturb such condition or
perform any Work in connection therewith (except as
aforesaid) until receipt of written order to do so.
B. Engineer's Review: After receipt of written
notice as required by Paragraph 4.03.A, Engineer
will promptly review the pertinent condition, deter-
mine the necessity of Owner's obtaining additional
exploration or tests with respect thereto, and advise
Owner in writing (with a copy to Contractor) of
Engineer's findings and conclusions.
C. Possible Price and Times Adjustments
1. The Contract Price or the Contract Times,
or both, will be equitably adjusted to the extent that
the existence of such differing subsurface or
physical condition causes an increase or decrease
in Contractor's cost of, or time required for, perfor-
mance of the Work; subject, however, to the follow-
ing:
a. such condition must meet anyone or
more of the categories described in
Paragraph 4.03.A; and
b. with respect to Work that is paid for on a
Unit Price Basis, any adjustment in Contract
Price will be subject to the provisions of
Paragraphs 9.07 and 11.03.
2. Contractor shall not be entitled to any
adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times
if:
a. Contractor knew of the existence of such
conditions at the time Contractor made a
final commitment to Owner with respect to
Contract Price and Contract Times by the
submission of a Bid or becoming bound
under a negotiated contract; or
b. the existence of such condition could
reasonably have been discovered or
revealed as a result of any examination,
investigation, exploration, test, or study of
the Site and contiguous areas required by
the Bidding Requirements or Contract Docu-
ments to be conducted by or for Contractor
prior to Contractor's making such final com-
mitment; or
c. Contractor failed to give the written notice
as required by Paragraph 4.03.A.
3. If Owner and Contractor are unable to
agree on entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if
any, of any adjustment in the Contract Price or
Contract Times, or both, a Claim may be made
therefor as provided in Paragraph 10.05. However,
Owner and Engineer, and any of their Related
Entities shall not be liable to Contractor for any
claims, costs, losses, or damages (including but not
limited to all fees and charges of engineers,
architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all
court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs)
sustained by Contractor on or in connection with any
other project or anticipated project.
4.04 Underground Facilities
A. Shown or Indicated: The information and
data shown or indicated in the Contract Documents
with respect to existing Underground Facilities at or
contiguous to the Site is based on information and
data furnished to Owner or Engineer by the owners
of such Underground Facilities, including Owner, or
by others. Unless it is otherwise expressly provided
in the Supplementary Conditions:
1. Owner and Engineer shall not be
responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any
such information or data; and
2. the cost of all of the following will be
included in the Contract Price, and Contractor shall
have full responsibility for:
a. reviewing and checking all such informa-
tion and data,
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

Final Version
b. locating all Underground Facilities shown
or indicated in the Contract Documents,
c. coordination of the Work with the owners
of such Underground Facilities, including
Owner, during construction, and
d. the safety and protection of all such
Underground Facilities and repairing any
damage thereto resulting from the Work.
B. Not Shown or Indicated
1. If an Underground Facility is uncovered or
revealed at or contiguous to the Site which was not
shown or indicated, or not shown or indicated with
reasonable accuracy in the Contract Documents,
Contractor shall, promptly after becoming aware
thereof and before further disturbing conditions
affected thereby or performing any Work in
connection therewith (except in an emergency as
required by Paragraph 6.16.A), identify the owner of
such Underground Facility and give written notice to
that owner and to Owner and Engineer. Engineer
will promptly review the Underground Facility and
determine the extent, if any, to which a change is
required in the Contract Documents to reflect and
document the consequences of the existence or
location of the Underground Facility. During such
time, Contractor shall be responsible for the safety
and protection of such Underground Facility.
2. If Engineer concludes that a change in the
Contract Documents is required, a Work Change
Directive or a Change Order will be issued to reflect
and document such consequences. An equitable
adjustment shall be made in the Contract Price or
Contract Times, or both, to the extent that they are
attributable to the existence or location of any
Underground Facility that was not shown or
indicated or not shown or indicated with reasonable
accuracy in the Contract Documents and that
Contractor did not know of and could not reasonably
have been expected to be aware of or to have
anticipated. If Owner and Contractor are unable to
agree on entitlement to or on the amount or extent, if
any, of any such adjustment in Contract Price or
Contract Times, Owner or Contractor may make a
Claim therefor as provided in Paragraph 10.05.
4.05 Reference Points
A. Owner shall provide engineering surveys
to establish reference points for construction which
in Engineer's judgment are necessary to enable
Contractor to proceed with the Work. Contractor
shall be responsible for laying out the Work, shall
protect and preserve the established reference
points and property monuments, and shall make no
changes or relocations without the prior written
approval of Owner. Contractor shall report to
Engineer whenever any reference point or property
monument is lost or destroyed or requires relocation
because of necessary changes in grades or
locations, and shall be responsible for the accurate
replacement or relocation of such reference points
or property monuments by professionally qualified
personnel.
4.06 Hazardous Environmental Condition at Site
A. Reports and Drawings: Reference is
made to the Supplementary Conditions for the
identification of those reports and drawings relating
to a Hazardous Environmental Condition identified at
the Site, if any, that have been utilized by the
Engineer in the preparation of the Contract
Documents.
B. Limited Reliance by Contractor on
Technical Data Authorized: Contractor may rely
upon the general accuracy of the "technical data"
contained in such reports and drawings, but such
reports and drawings are not Contract Documents.
Such "technical data" is identified in the
Supplementary Conditions. Except for such reliance
on such "technical data," Contractor may not rely
upon or make any claim against Owner or Engineer,
or any of their Related Entities with respect to:
1. the completeness of such reports and
drawings for Contractor's purposes, including, but
not limited to, any aspects of the means, methods,
techniques, sequences and procedures of
construction to be employed by Contractor and
safety precautions and programs incident thereto; or
2. other data, interpretations, opinions and
information contained in such reports or shown or
indicated in such drawings; or
3. any Contractor interpretation of or
conclusion drawn from any "technical data" or any
such other data, interpretations, opinions or
information.
C. Contractor shall not be responsible for
any Hazardous Environmental Condition uncovered
or revealed at the Site which was not shown or
indicated in Drawings or Specifications or identified
in the Contract Documents to be within the scope of
the Work. Contractor shall be responsible for a
Hazardous Environmental Condition created with
any materials brought to the Site by Contractor,
Subcontractors, Suppliers, or anyone else for whom
Contractor is responsible.

D. If Contractor encounters a Hazardous
Environmental Condition or if Contractor or anyone
for whom Contractor is responsible creates a
Hazardous Environmental Condition, Contractor
shall immediately: (i) secure or otherwise isolate
such condition; (ii) stop all Work in connection with
such condition and in any area affected thereby
(except in an emergency as required by Paragraph
6.16.A); and (iii) notify Owner and Engineer (and
promptly thereafter confirm such notice in writing).
Owner shall promptly consult with Engineer
concerning the necessity for Owner to retain a
qualified expert to evaluate such condition or take
corrective action, if any.
E. Contractor shall not be required to
resume Work in connection with such condition or in
any affected area until after Owner has obtained any
required permits related thereto and delivered to
Contractor written notice: (i) specifying that such
condition and any affected area is or has been
rendered safe for the resumption of Work; or (ii)
specifying any special conditions under which such
Work may be resumed safely. If Owner and
Contractor cannot agree as to entitlement to or on
the amount or extent, if any, of any adjustment in
Contract Price or Contract Times, or both, as a result
of such Work stoppage or such special conditions
under which Work is agreed to be resumed by
Contractor, either party may make a Claim therefor
as provided in Paragraph 10.05.
F. If after receipt of such written notice
Contractor does not agree to resume such Work
based on a reasonable belief it is unsafe, or does
not agree to resume such Work under such special
conditions, then Owner may order the portion of the
Work that is in the area affected by such condition to
be deleted from the Work. If Owner and Contractor
cannot agree as to entitlement to or on the amount
or extent, if any, of an adjustment in Contract Price
or Contract Times as a result of deleting such
portion of the Work, then either party may make a
Claim therefor as provided in Paragraph 10.05.
Owner may have such deleted portion of the Work
performed by Owner's own forces or others in accor-
dance with Article 7.
G. To the fullest extent permitted by Laws
and Regulations, Owner shall indemnify and hold
harmless Contractor, Subcontractors, and Engineer,
and the officers, directors, partners, employees,
agents, consultants, and subcontractors of each and
any of them from and against all claims, costs,
losses, and damages (including but not limited to all
fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys,
and other professionals and all court or arbitration or
other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or
relating to a Hazardous Environmental Condition,
provided that such Hazardous Environmental
Condition: (i) was not shown or indicated in the
Drawings or Specifications or identified in the
Contract Documents to be included within the scope
of the Work, and (ii) was not created by Contractor
or by anyone for whom Contractor is responsible.
Nothing in this Paragraph 4.06. G shall obligate
Owner to indemnify any individual or entity from and
against the consequences of that individual's or
entity's own negligence.
H. To the fullest extent permitted by Laws
and Regulations, Contractor shall indemnify and
hold harmless Owner and Engineer, and the officers,
directors, partners, employees, agents, consultants,
and subcontractors of each and any of them from
and against all claims, costs, losses, and damages
(including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other
professionals and all court or arbitration or other
dispute resolution costs) arising out of or relating to
a Hazardous Environmental Condition created by
Contractor or by anyone for whom Contractor is
responsible. Nothing in this Paragraph 4.06.H shall
obligate Contractor to indemnify any individual or
entity from and against the consequences of that
individual's or entity's own negligence.
I. The provisions of Paragraphs 4.02, 4.03,
and 4.04 do not apply to a Hazardous Environmental
Condition uncovered or revealed at the Site.

Contractor, Subcontractors, or Engineer, and the
officers, directors, partners, employees, agents,
consultants and subcontractors of each and any of
them.

within 15 days after the occurrence of loss to
Owner's exercise of this power. If such objection be
made, Owner as fiduciary shall make settlement with
the insurers in accordance with such agreement as
the parties in interest may reach. If no such

5.09 Acceptance of Bonds and Insurance; Option
to Replace
A. If either Owner or Contractor has any
objection to the coverage afforded by or other provi-
sions of the bonds or insurance required to be
purchased and maintained by the other party in

non-conformance with the Contract Documents, the
objecting party shall so notify the other party in
writing within 10 days after receipt of the certificates
(or other evidence requested) required by Paragraph
2.01.B. Owner and Contractor shall each provide to
the other such additional information in respf!ct of
insurance provided as the other may reasonably
request. If either party does not purchase or
maintain all of the bonds and insurance required of
such party by the Contract Documents, such party
shall notify the other party in writing of such failure to
purchase prior to the start of the Work, or of such
failure to maintain prior to any change in the
required coverage. Without prejudice to any other
right or remedy, the other party may elect to obtain
equivalent bonds or insurance to protect such other
party's interests at the expense of the party who was
required to provide such coverage, and a Change
Order shall be issued to adjust the Contract Price
accordingly.
5.10 Partial Utilization, Acknowledgment of
Property Insurer
A. If Owner finds it necessary to occupy or
use a portion or portions of the Work prior to Sub-
stantial Completion of all the Work as provided in
Paragraph 14.05, no such use or occupancy shall
commence before the insurers providing the
property insurance pursuant to Paragraph 5.06 have
acknowledged notice thereof and in writing effected
any changes in coverage necessitated thereby. The
insurers providing the property insurance shall
consent by endorsement on the policy or policies,
but the property insurance shall not be canceled or
permitted to lapse on account of any such partial
use or occupancy.

to.
2. Proposed adjustments in the Progress
Schedule that will change the Contract Times shall
be submitted in accordance with the requirements of
Article 12. Adjustments in Contract Times may only
be made by a Change Order.
6.05 Substitutes and "Or-Equals"
A. Whenever an item of material or equip-
ment is speCified or described in the Contract Docu-
ments by using the name of a proprietary item or the
name of a particular Supplier, the specification or
description is intended to establish the type, func-
tion, appearance, and quality required. Unless the
specification or description contains or is followed by
words reading that no like, equivalent, or "or-equal"
item or no substitution is permitted, other items of
material or equipment or material or equipment of
other Suppliers may be submitted to Engineer for
review under the circumstances described below.
1. "Or-Equal" Items: If in Engineer's sole
discretion an item of material or equipment proposed
by Contractor is functionally equal to that named and
sufficiently similar so that no change in related Work
will be required, it may be considered by Engineer
as an "or-equal" item, in which case review and
approval of the proposed item may, in Engineer's
sole discretion, be accomplished without compliance
with some or all of the requirements for approval of
proposed substitute items. For the purposes of this
Paragraph 6.0S.A.1, a proposed item of material or
equipment will be considered functionally equal to
an item so named if:
a. in the exercise of reasonable judgment
Engineer determines that:
1) it is at least equal in materials of
construction, quality, durability, appearance,
strength, and design characteristics;
2) it will reliably perform at least
equally well the function and achieve the
results imposed by the design concept of the
completed Project as a functioning whole,
3) it has a proven record of
performance and availability of responsive
service; and
b. Contractor certifies that, if approved and
incorporated into the Work:
1) there will be no increase in cost
to the Owner or increase in Contract Times,
and
2) it will conform substantially to the
detailed requirements of the item named in
the Contract Documents.
2. Substitute Items
a. If in Engineer's sole discretion an item of
material or equipment proposed by
Contractor does not qualify as an "or-equal"
item under Paragraph 6.0S.A.1, it will be
considered a proposed substitute item.
b. Contractor shall submit sufficient informa-
tion as provided below to allow Engineer to
determine that the item of material or
equipment proposed is essentially equiva-
lent to that named and an acceptable
substitute therefor. Requests for review of
proposed substitute items of material or

equipment will not be accepted by Engineer
from anyone other than Contractor.
c. The requirements for review by Engineer
will be as set forth in Paragraph 6.0S.A.2.d,
as supplemented in the General
Requirements and as Engineer may decide
is appropriate under the circumstances.
d. Contractor shall make written application
to Engineer for review of a proposed
substitute item of materiai or equipment that
Contractor seeks to furnish or use. The
application:
1) shall certify that the proposed
substitute item will:
a) perform adequately the functions
and achieve the results called for by
the general design,
b) be similar in substance to that
specified, and
c) be suited to the same use as that
specified;
2) will state:
a) the extent, if any, to which the
use of the proposed su bstitute item
will prejudice Contractor's
achievement of Substantial Comple-
tion on time;
b) whether or not use of the
proposed substitute item in the
Work will require a change in any of
the Contract Documents (or in the
provisions of any other direct
contract with Owner for other work
on the Project) to adapt the design
to the proposed substitute item; and
c) whether or not incorporation or
use of the proposed substitute item
in connection with the Work is sub-
ject to payment of any license fee or
royalty;
3) will identify:
a) all variations of the proposed
substitute item from that specified ,
and
b) available engineering,
maintenance, repair,
replacement services;
sales,
and
4) and shall contain an itemized
estimate of all costs or credits that will result
directly or indirectly from use of such
substitute item, including costs of redesign
and claims of other contractors affected by
any resulting change,
B. Substitute Construction Methods or
Procedures: If a specific means, method, technique,
sequence, or procedure of construction is expressly
required by the Contract Documents, Contractor
may furnish or utilize a substitute means, method,
technique, sequence, or procedure of construction
approved by Engineer. Contractor shall submit
sufficient information to allow Engineer, in
Engineer's sole discretion, to determine that the
substitute proposed is equivalent to that expressly
called for by the Contract Documents. The
requirements for review by Engineer will be similar to
those provided in Paragraph 6.0S.A.2.
C. Engineer's Evaluation: Engineer will be
allowed a reasonable time within which to evaluate
each proposal or submittal made pursuant to
Paragraphs 6.0S.A and 6.0S.B. Engineer may
require Contractor to furnish additional data about
the proposed substitute item. Engineer will be the
sole judge of acceptability. No "or equal" or
substitute will be ordered, installed or utilized until
Engineer's review is complete, which will be
evidenced by either a Change Order for a substitute
or an approved Shop Drawing for an "or equal."
Engineer will advise Contractor in writing of any
negative determination.
D. Special Guarantee: Owner may require
Contractor to furnish at Contractor's expense a
special performance guarantee or other surety with
respect to any substitute.
E. Engineer's Cost Reimbursement:
Engineer will record Engineer's costs in evaluating a
substitute proposed or submitted by Contractor
pursuant to Paragraphs 6.0S.A.2 and 6.0S.B
Whether or not Engineer approves a substitute item
so proposed or submitted by Contractor, Contractor
shall reimburse Owner for the charges of Engineer
for evaluating each such proposed substitute.
Contractor shall also reimburse Owner for the
charges of Engineer for making changes in the
Contract Documents (or in the provisions of any
other direct contract with Owner) resulting from the
acceptance of each proposed substitute.

Final Version
F. Contractor's Expense: Contractor shall
provide all data in support of any proposed
substitute or "or-equal" at Contractor's expense.
6.06 Concerning Subcontractors, Suppliers, and
Others
A. Contractor shall not employ any Subcon-
tractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity (includ-
ing those acceptable to Owner as indicated in
Paragraph 6.06.B), whether initially or as a
replacement, against whom Owner may have
reasonable objection. Contractor shall not be
required to employ any Subcontractor, Supplier, or
other individual or entity to furnish or perform any of
the Work against whom Contractor has reasonable
objection.
B. If the Supplementary Conditions require
the identity of certain Subcontractors, Suppliers, or
other individuals or entities to be submitted to Owner
in advance for acceptance by Owner by a specified
date prior to the Effective Date of the Agreement,
and if Contractor has submitted a list thereof in
accordance with the Supplementary Conditions,
Owner's acceptance (either in writing or by failing to
make written objection thereto by the date indicated
for acceptance or objection in the Bidding
Documents or the Contract Documents) of any such
Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity
so identified may be revoked on the basis of reason-
able objection after due investigation. Contractor
shall submit an acceptable replacement for the
rejected Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual
or entity, and the Contract Price will be adjusted by
the difference in the cost occasioned by such
replacement, and an appropriate Change Order will
be issued . No acceptance by Owner of any such
Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity,
whether initially or as a replacement, shall constitute
a waiver of any right of Owner or Engineer to reject
defective Work.
C. Contractor shall be fully responsible to
Owner and Engineer for all acts and omissions of
the Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other individuals
or entities performing or furnishing any of the Work
just as Contractor is responsible for Contractor's
own acts and omissions. Nothing in the Contract
Documents:
1. shall create for the benefit of any such
Subcontractor, Supplier, or other individual or entity
any contractual relationship between Owner or
Engineer and any such Subcontractor, Supplier or
other individual or entity, nor
2. shall anything in the Contract Documents
create any obligation on the part of Owner or
Engineer to payor to see to the payment of any
moneys due any such Subcontractor, Supplier, or
other individual or entity except as may otherwise be
required by Laws and Regulations.
D. Contractor shall be solely responsible for
scheduling and coordinating the Work of Subcon-
tractors, Suppliers, and other individuals or entities
performing or furnishing any of the Work under a
direct or indirect contract with Contractor.
E. Contractor shall require all Subcontrac-
tors, Suppliers, and such other individuals or entities
performing or furnishing any of the Work to commu-
nicate with Engineer through Contractor.
F. The divisions and sections of the
Specifications and the identifications of any
Drawings shall not control Contractor in dividing the
Work among Subcontractors or Suppliers or
delineating the Work to be performed by any specific
trade.
G. All Work performed for Contractor by a
Subcontractor or Supplier will be pursuant to an
appropriate agreement between Contractor and the
Subcontractor or Supplier which specifically binds
the Subcontractor or Supplier to the applicable terms
and conditions of the Contract Documents for the
benefit of Owner and Engineer. Whenever any such
agreement is with a Subcontractor or Supplier who
is listed as an additional insured on the property
insurance provided in Paragraph 5.06, the
agreement between the Contractor and the
Subcontractor or Supplier will contain provisions
whereby the Subcontractor or Supplier waives all
rights against Owner, Contractor, and Engineer"
and all other individuals or entities identified in the
Supplementary Conditions to be listed as insureds
or additional insureds (and the officers, directors,
partners, employees, agents, consultants and
subcontractors of each and any of them) for all
losses and damages caused by, arising out of,
relating to, or resulting from any of the perils or
causes of loss covered by such policies and any
other property insurance applicable to the Work. If
the insurers on any such policies require separate
waiver forms to be signed by any Subcontractor or
Supplier, Contractor will obtain the same.
6.07 Patent Fees and Royalties
A. Contractor shall pay all license fees and
royalties and assume all costs incident to the use in
the performance of the Work or the incorporation in
the Work of any invention, design, process, product,

court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs)
arising out of or relating to such Work. However, it
shall not be Contractor's primary responsibility to
make certain that the Specifications and Drawings

performed on the basis of cost-plus, Contractor's fee
shall be determined as set forth in the Agreement.
When the value of any Work covered by a Change
Order or when a Claim for an adjustment in Contract

Contractor's fee shall be determined as set forth in
Paragraph 12.01.C.
D. Documentation: Whenever the Cost of
the Work for any purpose is to be determined
pursuant to Paragraphs 11.01.A and 11.01.B,
Contractor will establish and maintain records

to Engineer an itemized cost breakdown together
with supporting data.
11.02 Allowances
A. It is understood that Contractor has in-
cluded in the Contract Price all allowances so
named in the Contract Documents and shall cause
the Work so covered to be performed for such sums
and by such persons or entities as may be
acceptable to Owner and Engineer.
B. Cash Allowances

Change Order will be issued as recommended by
Engineer to reflect actual amounts due Contractor
on account of Work covered by allowances, and the
Contract Price shall be correspondingly adjusted.
11.03 Unit Price Work

that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work,
initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include
for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to the sum
of the unit price for each separately identified item of

item as indicated in the Agreement.
B. The estimated quantities of items of Unit
Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the
purpose of comparison of Bids and determining an
initial Contract Price. Determinations of the actual
quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work
performed by Contractor will be made by Engineer
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9.07.
C. Each unit price will be deemed to include
an amount considered by Contractor to be adequate

2. there is no corresponding adjustment with
respect any other item of Work; and
3. Contractor believes that Contractor is
entitled to an increase in Contract Price as a result
of having incurred additional expense or Owner
believes that Owner is entitled to a decrease in
Contract Price and the parties are unable to agree
as to the amount of any such increase or decrease.
ARTICLE 12 - CHANGE OF CONTRACT PRICE;
CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIMES
12.01 Change of Contract Price
A. The Contract Price may only be changed
by a Change Order. Any Claim for an adjustment in
the Contract Price shall be based on written notice
submitted by the party making the Claim to the
Engineer and the other party to the Contract in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 10.05.
B. The value of any Work covered by a
Change Order or of any Claim for an adjustment in
the Contract Price will be determined as follows:
1. where the Work involved is covered by
unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, by
application of such unit prices to the quantities of the
items involved (subject to the provision:; of
Paragraph 11.03); or
2. where the Work involved is not covered
by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents,
by a mutually agreed lump sum (which may include
an allowance for overhead and profit not necessarily
in accordance with Paragraph 12.01.C.2); or
3. where the Work involved is not covered
by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents
and agreement to a lump sum is not reached under
Paragraph 12.01.B.2, on the basis of the Cost of the
Work (determined as provided in Paragraph 11.01)
plus a Contractor's fee for overhead and profit
(determined as provided in Paragraph 12.01.C).
C. Contractor's Fee: The Contractor's fee for
overhead and profit shall be determined as follows:
1. a mutually acceptable fixed fee; or
2. if a fixed fee is not agreed upon, then a
fee based on the following percentages of the
various portions of the Cost of the Work:
a. for costs incurred under Paragraphs
11.01.A.1 and 11.01.A.2, the Contractor's
fee shall be 15 percent;
b. for costs incurred under Paragraph
11.01.A.3, the Contractor's fee shall be five
percent;
c. where one or more tiers of subcontracts
are on the basis of Cost of the Work plus a
fee and no fixed fee is agreed upon, the
intent of Paragraph 12.01.C.2.a is that the
Subcontractor who actually performs the
Work, at whatever tier, will be paid a fee of
15 percent of the costs incurred by such
Subcontractor under Paragraphs 11.01.A.1
and 11.01.A.2 and that any higher tier
Subcontractor and Contractor will each be
paid a fee of five percent of the amount paid
to the next lower tier Subcontractor;
d. no fee shall be payable on the basis of
costs itemized under Paragraphs 11.01.AA,
11.01.A.S, and 11.01.B;
e. the amount of credit to be allowed by
Contractor to Owner for any change which
results in a net decrease in cost will be the
amount of the actual net decrease in cost
plus a deduction in Contractor's fee by an
amount equal to five percent of such net
decrease; and
f. when both additions and credits are in-
volved in anyone change, the adjustment in
Contractor's fee shall be computed on the
basis of the net change in accordance with
Paragraphs 12.01.C.2.a through
12.01.C.2.e, inclusive.
12.02 Change of Contract Times
A. The Contract Times may only be changed
by a Change Order. Any Claim for an adjustment in
the Contract Times shall be based on written notice
submitted by the party making the Claim to the
Engineer and the other party to the Contract in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 10.05.
B. Any adjustment of the Contract Times
covered by a Change Order or any Claim for an
adjustment in the Contract Times will be determined
in accordance with the provisions of this Article 12.
12.03 Delays
A. Where Contractor is prevented from
completing any part of the Work within the Contract
Times due to delay beyond the control of Contractor,
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

00700 - 34
Final Version
the Contract Times will be extended in an amount
equal to the time lost due to such delay if a Claim is
made therefor as provided in Paragraph 12.02.A.
Delays beyond the control of Contractor shall
include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect by
Owner, acts or neglect of utility owners or other
contractors performing other work as contemplated
by Article 7, fires, floods, epidemics, abnormal
weather conditions, or acts of God.
B. If Owner, Engineer, or other contractors
or utility owners performing other work for Owner as
contemplated by Article 7, or anyone for whom
Owner is responsible, delays, disrupts, or interferes
with the performance or progress of the Work, then
Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable
adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract
Times , or both. Contractor's entitlement to an
adjustment of the Contract Times is conditioned on
such adjustment being essential to Contractor's
ability to complete the Work within the Contract
Times.
C If Contractor is delayed in the
performance or progress of the Work by fire, flood,
epidemic, abnormal weather conditions, acts of God,
acts or failures to act of utility owners not under the
control of Owner, or other causes not the fault of and
beyond control of Owner and Contractor, then
Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable
adjustment in Contract Times, if such adjustment is
essential to Contractor's ability to complete the Work
within the Contract Times. Such an adjustment shall
be Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy for the
delays described in this Paragraph 12.03.C.
D. Owner, Engineer and the Related Entities
of each of them shall not be liable to Contractor for
any claims, costs, losses, or damages (including but
not limited to all fees and charges of Engineers,
architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all
court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs)
sustained by Contractor on or in connection with any
other project or anticipated project.
E. Contractor shall not be entitled to an
adjustment in Contract Price or Contract Times for
delays within the control of Contractor. Delays
attributable to and within the control of a
Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be
delays within the control of Contractor.
ARTICLE 13 - TESTS AND INSPECTIONS;
CORRECTION, REMOVAL OR ACCEPTANCE OF
DEFECTIVE WORK
13.01 Notice of Defects

such access and advise them of Contractor's Site
safety procedures and programs so that they may
comply therewith as applicable.
13.03 Tests and Inspections
A. Contractor shall give Engineer timely
notice of readiness of the Work for all required
inspections, tests, or approvals and shall cooperate
with inspection and testing personnel to facilitate
required inspections or tests.

perform all inspections, tests, or approvals required
by the Contract Documents except:
1. for inspections, tests, or approvals
covered by Paragraphs 13.03.C and 13.03.D below;
2. that costs incurred in connection with
tests or inspections conducted pursuant to
Paragraph 13.04.B shall be paid as provided in said
Paragraph 13.04.C; and
3. as otherwise specifically provided in the
Contract Documents.
C. If Laws or Regulations of any public body
having jurisdiction require any Work (or part thereof)
specifically to be inspected, tested, or approved by
an employee or other representative of such publiC
body, Contractor shall assume full responsibility for
arranging and obtaining such inspections, tests, or
approvals, pay all costs in connection therewith, and
furnish Engineer the required certificates of inspec-

Final Version
D. Contractor shall be responsible for
arranging and obtaining and shall pay all costs in
connection with any inspections, tests, or approvals
required for Owner's and Engineer's acceptance of
materials or equipment to be incorporated in the
Work; or acceptance of materials, mix designs, or
equipment submitted for approval prior to
Contractor's purchase thereof for incorporation in
the Work. Such inspections, tests, or approvals shall
be performed by organizations acceptable to Owner
and Engineer.
E. If any Work (or the work of others) that is
to be inspected, tested, or approved is covered by
Contractor without written concurrence of Engineer,
it must, if requested by Engineer, be uncovered for
observation.
F. Uncovering Work as provided in
Paragraph 13.03.E shall be at Contractor's expense
unless Contractor has given Engineer timely notice
of Contractor's intention to cover the same and
Engineer has not acted with reasonable promptness
in response to such notice.
13.04 Uncovering Work
A. If any Work is covered contrary to the
written request of Engineer, it must, if requested by
Engineer, be uncovered for Engineer's observation
and replaced at Contractor's expense.
B. If Engineer considers it necessary or
advisable that covered Work be observed by
Engineer or inspected or tested by others,
Contractor, at Engineer's request, shall uncover,
expose, or otherwise make available for observation,
inspection, or testing as Engineer may require, that
portion of the Work in question, furnishing all neces-
sary labor, material, and equipment.
C. If it is found that the uncovered Work is
defective, Contractor shall pay all claims, costs,
losses, and damages (including but not limited to all
fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys,
and other professionals and all court or arbitration or
other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or
relating to such uncovering, exposure, observation,
inspection, and testing, and of satisfactory
replacement or reconstruction (including but not
limited to all costs of repair or replacement of work of
others); and Owner shall be entitled to an
appropriate decrease in the Contract Price. If the
parties are unable to agree as to the amount thereof,
Owner may make a Claim therefor as prOVided in
Paragraph 10.05.
D. If, the uncovered Work is not found to be
defective, Contractor shall be allowed an increase in
the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract
Times, or both, directly attributable to such
uncovering, exposure, observation, inspection,
testing, replacement, and reconstruction. If the
parties are unable to agree as to the amount or
extent thereof, Contractor may make a Claim
therefor as provided in Paragraph 10.05.
13.05 Owner May Stop the Work
A. If the Work is defective, or Contractor fails
to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable
materials or equipment, or fails to perform the Work
in such a way that the completed Work will conform
to the Contract Documents, Owner may order
Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof,
until the cause for such order has been eliminated;
however, this right of Owner to stop the Work shall
not give rise to any duty on the part of Owner to
exercise this right for the benefit of Contractor, any
Subcontractor, any Supplier, any other individual or
entity, or any surety for, or employee or agent of any
of them.
13.06 Correction or Removal of Defective Work
A. Promptly after receipt of notice,
Contractor shall correct all defective Work, whether
or not fabricated, installed, or completed, or, if the
Work has been rejected by Engineer, remove it from
the Project and replace it with Work that is not
defective. Contractor shall pay all claims, costs,
losses, and damages (including but not limited to all
fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys,
and other professionals and all court or arbitration or
other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or
relating to such correction or removal (including but
not limited to all costs of repair or replacement of
work of others).
B. When correcting defective Work under
the terms of this Paragraph 13.06 or Paragraph
13.07, Contractor shall take no action that would
void or otherwise impair Owner's special warranty
and guarantee, if any, on said Work.
13.07 Correction Period
A. If within one year after the date of
Substantial Completion (or such longer period of
time as may be prescribed by the terms of any
applicable special guarantee required by the
Contract Documents) or by any specific provision of
the Contract Documents, any Work is found to be
defective, or if the repair of any damages to the land
or areas made available for Contractor's use by
Owner or permitted by Laws and Regulations as
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions ofthe Construction Contract.

Final Version
contemplated in Paragraph 6.11.A is found to be
defective, Contractor shall promptly, without cost to
Owner and in accordance with Owner's written
instructions:
1. repair such defective land or areas; or
2. correct such defective Work; or
3. if the defective Work has been rejected by
Owner, remove it from the Project and replace it with
Work that is not defective, and
4. satisfactorily correct or repair or remove
and replace any damage to other Work, to the work
of others or other land or areas resulting therefrom.
B. If Contractor does not promptly comply
with the terms of Owner's written instructions, or in
an emergency where delay would cause serious risk
of loss or damage, Owner may have the defective
Work corrected or repaired or may have the rejected
Work removed and replaced. All claims, costs,
losses, and damages (including but not limited to all
fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys,
and other professionals and all court or arbitration or
other dispute resolution costs) arising out of or
relating to such correction or repair or such removal
and replacement (including but not limited to all
costs of repair or replacement of work of others) will
be paid by Contractor.
C. In special circumstances where a particu-
lar item of equipment is placed in continuous service
before Substantial Completion of all the Work, the
correction period for that item may start to run from
an earlier date if so provided in the Specifications .
D. Where defective Work (and damage to
other Work resulting therefrom) has been corrected
or removed and replaced under this Paragraph
13.07, the correction period hereunder with respect
to such Work will be extended for an additional
period of one year after such correction or removal
and replacement has been satisfactorily completed.
E. Contractor's obligations under this
Paragraph 13.07 are in addition to any other
obligation or warranty. The provisions of this
Paragraph 13.07 shall not be construed as a
substitute for or a waiver of the provisions of any
applicable statute of limitation or repose.
13.08 Acceptance of Defective Work
A. If, instead of requiring correction or
removal and replacement of defective Work, Owner
(and, prior to Engineer's recommendation of final
payment, Engineer) prefers to accept it, Owner may
do so. Contractor shall pay all claims, costs, losses,
and damages (including but not limited to all fees
and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and
other professionals and all court or arbitration or
other dispute resolution costs) attributable to
Owner's evaluation of and determination to accept
such defective Work (such costs to be approved by
Engineer as to reasonableness) and the diminished
value of the Work to the extent not otherwise paid by
Contractor pursuant to this sentence. If any such
acceptance occurs prior to Engineer's recommen-
dation of final payment, a Change Order will be
issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the
Contract Documents with respect to the Work, and
Owner shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease
in the Contract Price, reflecting the diminished value
of Work so accepted. If the parties are unable to
agree as to the amount thereof, Owner may make a
Claim therefor as provided in Paragraph 10.05. If the
acceptance occurs after such recommendation, an
appropriate amount will be paid by Contractor to
Owner.
13.09 Owner May Correct Defective Work
A. If Contractor fails within a reasonable
time after written notice from Engineer to correct
defective Work or to remove and replace rejected
Work as required by Engineer in accordance with
Paragraph 13.06.A, or if Contractor fails to perform
the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents, or if Contractor fails to comply with any
other provision of the Contract Documents, Owner
may, after seven days written notice to Contractor,
correct or remedy any such deficiency.
B. In exercising the rights and remedies
under this Paragraph 13.09, Owner shall proceed
expeditiously. In connection with such corrective or
remedial action, Owner may exclude Contractor from
all or part of the Site, take possession of all or part of
the Work and suspend Contractor's services related
thereto, take possession of Contractor's tools,
appliances, construction equipment and machinery
at the Site, and incorporate in the Work all materials
and equipment stored at the Site or for which Owner
has paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere.
Contractor shall allow Owner, Owner's
representatives, agents and employees, Owner's
other contractors, and Engineer and Engineer's
consultants access to the Site to enable Owner to
exercise the rights and remedies under this
Paragraph.
C. All claims, costs, losses, and damages
(including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other
professionals and all court or arbitration or other
dispute resolution costs) incurred or sustained by
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

Final Version
Owner in exercising the rights and remedies under
this Paragraph 13.09 will be charged against
Contractor, and a Change Order will be issued
incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract
Documents with respect to the Work; and Owner
shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the
Contract Price. If the parties are unable to agree as
to the amount of the adjustment, Owner may make a
Claim therefor as provided in Paragraph 10.05. Such
claims, costs, losses and damages will include but
not be limited to all costs of repair, or replacement of
work of others destroyed or damaged by correction,
removal, or replacement of Contractor's defective
Work.
D. Contractor shall not be allowed an exten-
sion of the Contract Times because of any delay in
the performance of the Work attributable to the
exercise by Owner of Owner's rights and remedies
under this Paragraph 13.09.
ARTICLE 14 - PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR AND
COMPLETION
14.01 Schedule of Values
A. The Schedule of Values established as
provided in Paragraph 2.07.A will serve as the basis
for progress payments and will be incorporated into
a form of Application for Payment acceptable to
Engineer. Progress payments on account of Unit
Price Work will be based on the number of units
completed.
14.02 Progress Payments
A. Applications for Payments
1. At least 20 days before the date estab-
lished in the Agreement for each progress payment
(but not more often than once a month), Contractor
shall submit to Engineer for review an Application for
Payment filled out and signed by Contractor
covering the Work completed as of the date of the
Application and accompanied by such supporting
documentation as is required by the Contract Docu-
ments. If payment is requested on the basis of
materials and equipment not incorporated in the
Work but delivered and suitably stored at the Site or
at another location agreed to in writing, the Applica-
tion for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill
of sale, invoice, or other documentation warranting
that Owner has received the materials and equip-
ment free and clear of all Liens and evidence that
the materials and equipment are covered by
appropriate property insurance or other arrange-
ments to protect Owner's interest therein, all of
which must be satisfactory to Owner.
2. Beginning with the second Application for
Payment, each Application shall include an affidavit
of Contractor stating that all previous progress
payments received on account of the Work have
been applied on account to discharge Contractor's
legitimate obligations associated with prior
Applications for Payment.
3. The amount of retainage with respect to
progress payments will be as stipulated in the
Agreement.
B. Review of Applications
1. Engineer will, within 10 days after receipt
of each Application for Payment, either indicate in
writing a recommendation of payment and present
the Application to Owner or return the Application to
Contractor indicating in writing Engineer's reasons
for refusing to recommend payment. In the latter
case, Contractor may make the necessary
corrections and resubmit the Application.
2. Engineer's recommendation of any pay-
ment requested in an Application for Payment will
constitute a representation by Engineer to Owner,
based on Engineer's observations on the Site of the
executed Work as an experienced and qualified
design professional and on Engineer's review of the
Application for Payment and the accompanying data
and schedules, that to the best of Engineer's
knovtltedge, information and belief:
a. the Work has progressed to the point
indicated;
b. the quality of the Work is generally in
accordance with the Contract Documents
(subject to an evaluation of the Work as a
functioning whole prior to or upon
Substantial Completion, to the results of any
subsequent tests called for in the Contract
Documents, to a final determination of
quantities and classifications for Unit Price
Work under Paragraph 9.07, and to any
other qualifications stated in the
recommendation); and
c. the conditions precedent to Contractor's
being entitled to such payment appear to
have been fulfilled in so far as it is
Engineer's responsibility to observe the
Work.

Final Version
3. By recommending any such payment
Engineer will not thereby be deemed to have
represented that:
a. inspections made to check the quality or
the quantity of the Work as it has been
performed have been exhaustive, extended
to every aspect of the Work in progress, or
involved detailed inspections of the Work
beyond the responsibilities specifically as-
signed to Engineer in the Contract Docu-
ments; or
b. that there may not be other matters or
issues between the parties that might entitle
Contractor to be paid additionally by Owner
or entitle Owner to withhold payment to
Contractor.
4. Neither Engineer's review of Contractor's
Work for the purposes of recommending payments
nor Engineer's recommendation of any payment,
including final payment, will impose responsibility on
Engineer:
a. to supervise, direct, or control the Work,
or
b. for the means, methods, techniques,
sequences, or procedures of construction, or
the safety precautions and programs
incident thereto, or
c. for Contractor's failure to comply with
Laws and Regulations applicable to
Contractor's performance of the Work, or
d. to make any examination to ascertain how
or for what purposes Contractor has used
the moneys paid on account of the Contract
Price, or
e. to determine that title to any of the Work,
materials, or equipment has passed to
Owner free and clear of any Liens.
S. Engineer may refuse to recommend the
whole or any part of any payment if, in Engineer's
opinion, it would be incorrect to make the
representations to Owner stated in Paragraph
14.02.B.2. Engineer may also refuse to recommend
any such payment or, because of subsequently
discovered evidence or the results of subsequent
inspections or tests, revise or revoke any such
payment recommendation previously made, to such
extent as may be necessary in Engineer's opinion to
protect Owner from loss because:
a. the Work is defective, or completed Work
has been damaged, requiring correction or
replacement;
b. the Contract Price has been reduced by
Change Orders;
c. Owner has been required to correct
defective Work or complete Work in accor-
dance with Paragraph 13.09; or
d. Engineer has actual knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the events enumerated
in Paragraph 1S.02.A.
C. Payment Becomes Due
1. Ten days after presentation of the
Application for Payment to Owner with Engineer's
recommendation, the amount recommended will
(subject to the provisions of Paragraph 14.02.0)
become due, and when due will be paid by Owner to
Contractor.
D. Reduction in Payment
1. Owner may refuse to make payment of
the full amount recommended by Engineer because:
a. claims have been made against Owner on
account of Contractor's performance or fur-
nishing of the Work;
b. Liens have been filed in connection with
the Work, except where Contractor has
delivered a specific bond satisfactory to
Owner to secure the satisfaction and
discharge of such Liens;
c. there are other items entitling Owner to a
set-off against the amount recommended; or
d. Owner has actual knowledge of the occur-
rence of any of the events enumerated in
Paragraphs 14.02.B.S.a through 14.02.B.S.c
or Paragraph 1S.02.A.
2. If Owner refuses to make payment of the
full amount recommended by Engineer, Owner will
give Contractor immediate written notice (with a
copy to Engineer) stating the reasons for such action
and promptly pay Contractor any amount remaining
after deducUon of the amount so withheld. Owner
shall promptly pay Contractor the amount so with-
held, or any adjustment thereto agreed to by Owner
and Contractor, when Contractor corrects to Owner's
satisfaction the reasons for such action.

Final Version
3. If it is subsequently determined that
Owner's refusal of payment was not justified, the
amount wrongfully withheld shall be treated as an
amount due as determined by Paragraph 14.02.C.1.
14.03 Contractor's Warranty of Title
A. Contractor warrants and guarantees that
title to all Work, materials, and equipment covered
by any Application for Payment, whether incor-
porated in the Project or not, will pass to Owner no
later than the time of payment free and clear of all
Liens.
14.04 Substantial Completion
A. When Contractor considers the entire
Work ready for its intended use Contractor shall
notify Owner and Engineer in writing that the entire
Work is substantially complete (except for items
specifically listed by Contractor as incomplete) and
request that Engineer issue a certificate of
Substantial Completion.
B. Promptly after Contractor's notification, ,
Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall make an
inspection of the Work to determine the status of
completion. If Engineer does not consider the Work
substantially complete, Engineer will notify
Contractor in writing giving the reasons therefor.
C. If Engineer considers the Work
substantially complete, Engineer will deliver to
Owner a tentative certificate of Substantial
Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial
Completion. There shall be attached to the
certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or
corrected before final payment. Owner shall have
seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate
during which to make written objection to Engineer
as to any provisions of the certificate or attached list.
If, after considering such objections, Engineer
concludes that the Work is not substantially
complete, Engineer will within 14 days after
submission of the tentative certificate to Owner notify
Contractor in writing, stating the reasons therefor. If,
after consideration of Owner's objections, Engineer
considers the Work substantially complete, Engineer
will within said 14 days execute and deliver to
Owner and Contractor a definitive certificate of Sub-
stantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of
items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such
changes from the tentative certificate as Engineer
believes justified after consideration of any
objections from Owner.
D. At the time of delivery of the tentative
certificate of Substantial Completion, Engineer will
deliver to Owner and Contractor a written
recommendation as to division of responsibilities
pending final payment between Owner and
Contractor with respect to security, operation, safety,
and protection of the Work, maintenance, heat,
utilities, insurance, and warranties and guarantees.
Unless Owner and Contractor agree otherwise in
writing and so inform Engineer in writing prior to
Engineer's issuing the definitive certificate of
Substantial Completion, Engineer's aforesaid recom-
mendation will be binding on Owner and Contractor
until final payment.
E. Owner shall have the right to exclude
Contractor from the Site after the date of Substantial
Completion subject to allowing Contractor
reasonable access to complete or correct items on
the tentative list.
14.05 Partial Utilization
A. Prior to Substantial Completion of all the
Work, Owner may use or occupy any substantially
completed part of the Work which has specifically
been identified in the Contract Documents, or which
Owner, Engineer, and Contractor agree constitutes
a separately functioning and usable part of the Work
that can be used by Owner for its intended purpose
without significant interference with Contractor's
performance of the remainder of the Work, subject to
the following conditions.
1 . Owner at any time may request
Contractor in writing to permit Owner to use or
occupy any such part of the Work which Owner
believes to be ready for its intended use and
substantially complete. If and when Contractor
agrees that such part of the Work is substantially
complete, Contractor will certify to Owner and
Engineer that such part of the Work is substantially
complete and request Engineer to issue a certificate
of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work.
2. Contractor at any time may notify Owner
and Engineer in writing that Contractor considers
any such part of the Work ready for its intended use
and substantially complete and request Engineer to
issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that
part of the Work.
3. Within a reasonable time after either such
request, Owner, Contractor, and Engineer shall
make an inspection of that part of the Work to
determine its status of completion. If Engineer does
not consider that part of the Work to be substantially
complete, Engineer will notify Owner and Contractor
in writing giving the reasons therefor. If Engineer
considers that part of the Work to be substantially
complete, the provisions of Paragraph 14.04 will
apply with respect to certification of Substantial
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions ofthe Construction Contract.

Final Version
Completion of that part of the Work and the division
of responsibility in respect thereof and access
thereto.
4. No use or occupancy or separate
operation of part of the Work may occur prior to
compliance with the requirements of Paragraph 5.10
regarding property insurance.
14.06 Finallnspection
A. Upon written notice from Contractor that
the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is
complete, Engineer will promptly make a final
inspection with Owner and Contractor and will notify
Contractor in writing of all particulars in which this
inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or
defective. Contractor shall immediately take such
measures as are necessary to complete such Work
or remedy such deficiencies.
14.07 Final Payment
A. Application for Payment
1. After Contractor has, in the opinion of
Engineer, satisfactorily completed all corrections
identified during the final inspection and has
delivered, in accordance with the Contract Docu-
ments, all maintenance and operating instructions,
schedules, guarantees, bonds, certificates or other
evidence of insurance certificates of inspection,
marked-up record documents (as provided in
Paragraph 6.12), and other documents, Contractor
may make application for final payment following the
procedure for progress payments.
2. The final Application for Payment shall be
accompanied (except as previously delivered) by:
a. all documentation called for in the
Contract Documents, including but not
limited to the evidence of insurance required
by Paragraph S.04.B.7;
b. consent of the surety, if any, to final
payment;
c. a list of all Claims against Owner that
Contractor believes are unsettled; and
d. complete and legally effective releases or
waivers (satisfactory to Owner) of all Lien
rights arising out of or Liens filed in
connection with the Work.
3. In lieu of the releases or waivers of Liens
specified in Paragraph 14.07.A.2 and as approved
by Owner, Contractor may furnish receipts or
releases in full and an affidavit of Contractor that: (i)
the releases and receipts include all labor, services,
material, and equipment for which a Lien could be
filed; and (ii) all payrolls, material and equipment
bills, and other indebtedness connected with the
Work for which Owner or Owner's property might in
any way be responSible have been paid or otherwise
satisfied. If any Subcontractor or Supplier fails to
furnish such a release or receipt in full, Contractor
may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to
Owner to indemnify Owner against any Lien.
B. Engineer's Review of Application and
Acceptance
1. If, on the basis of Engineer's observation
of the Work during construction and final inspection,
and Engineer's review of the final Application for
Payment and accompanying documentation as re-
quired by the Contract Documents, Engineer is
satisfied that the Work has been completed and
Contractor's other obligations under the Contract
Documents have been fulfilled, Engineer will, within
ten days after receipt of the final Application for
Payment, indicate in writing Engineer's recommen-
dation of payment and present the Application for
Payment to Owner for payment. At the same time
Engineer will also give written notice to Owner and
Contractor that the Work is acceptable subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 14.09. Otherwise, Engineer
will return the Application for Payment to Contractor,
indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to
recommend final payment, in which case Contractor
shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit
the Application for Payment.
C. Payment Becomes Due
1. Thirty days after the presentation to
Owner of the Application for Payment and
accompanying documentation, the amount
recommended by Engineer, less any sum Owner is
entitled to set off against Engineer's
recommendation, including but not limited to
liquidated damages, will become due and , will be
paid by Owner to Contractor.
14.08 Final Completion Delayed
A. If, through no fault of Contractor, final
completion of the Work is significantly delayed, and
if Engineer so confirms, Owner shall, upon receipt of
Contractor's final Application for Payment (for Work
fully completed and accepted) and recommendation
of Engineer, and without terminating the Contract,
make payment of the balance due for that portion of
the Work fully completed and accepted. If the
remaining balance to be held by Owner for Work not
fully completed or corrected is less than the
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

Final Version
retainage stipulated in the Agreement, and if bonds
have been furnished as required in Paragraph 5.01,
the written consent of the surety to the payment of
the balance due for that portion of the Work fully
completed and accepted shall be submitted by
Contractor to Engineer with the Application for such
payment. Such payment shall be made under the
terms and conditions governing final payment,
except that it shall not constitute a waiver of Claims.
14.09 Waiver of Claims
A. The making and acceptance of final pay-
ment will constitute:
1. a waiver of all Claims by Owner against
Contractor, except Claims arising from unsettled
Liens, from defective Work appearing after final
inspection pursuant to Paragraph 14.06, from failure
to comply with the Contract Documents or the terms
of any special guarantees specified therein, or from
Contractor's continuing obligations under the
Contract Documents; and
2. a waiver of all Claims by Contractor
against Owner other than those previously made in
accordance with the requirements herein and
expressly acknowledged by Owner in writing as still
unsettled.
ARTICLE 15 - SUSPENSION OF WORK AND
TERMINATION
15.01 Owner May Suspend Work
A. At any time and without cause, Owner
may suspend the Work or any portion thereof for a
period of not more than 90 consecutive days by
notice in writing to Contractor and Engineer which
will fix the date on which Work will be resumed.
Contractor shall resume the Work on the date so
fixed. Contractor shall be granted an adjustment in
the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract
Times, or both, directly attributable to any such
suspension if Contractor makes a Claim therefor as
provided in Paragraph 10.05.
15.02 Owner May Terminate for Cause
A. The occurrence of anyone or more of the
following events will justify termination for cause:
1. Contractor's persistent failure to perform
the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to
supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials
or equipment or failure to adhere to the Progress
Schedule established under Paragraph 2.07 as
adjusted from time to time pursuant to Paragraph
6.04);
2. Contractor's disregard of Laws or Regula-
tions of any public body having jurisdiction;
3. Contractor's disregard of the authority of
Engineer; or
4. Contractor's violation in any substantial
way of any provisions of the Contract Documents.
8. If one or more of the events identified in
Paragraph 1S.02.A occur, Owner may, after giving
Contractor (and surety) seven days written notice of
its intent to terminate the services of Contractor:
1. exclude Contractor from the Site, and
take possession of the Work and of all Contractor's
tools, appliances, construction equipment, and
machinery at the Site, and use the same to the full
extent they could be used by Contractor (without
liability to Contractor for trespass or conversion),
2. incorporate in the Work all materials and
equipment stored at the Site or for which Owner has
paid Contractor but which are stored elsewhere, and
3. complete the Work as Owner may deem
exped ient.
C. If Owner proceeds as provided in
Paragraph 15.02.8, Contractor shall not be entitled
to receive any further payment until the Work is
completed. If the unpaid balance of the Contract
Price exceeds all claims, costs, losses, and
damages (including but not limited to all fees and
charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and
other professionals and all court or arbitration or
other dispute resolution costs) sustained by Owner
arising out of or relating to completing the Work,
such excess will be paid to Contractor. If such
claims, costs, losses, and damages exceed such
unpaid balance, Contractor shall pay the difference
to Owner. Such claims, costs, losses, and damages
incurred by Owner will be reviewed by Engineer as
to their reasonableness and, when so approved by
Engineer, incorporated in a Change Order. When
exercising any rights or remedies under this
Paragraph Owner shall not be required to obtain the
lowest price for the Work performed.
D. Notwithstanding Paragraphs 15.02.8 and
1S.02.C, Contractor's services will not be terminated
if Contractor begins within seven days of receipt of
notice of intent to terminate to correct its failure to
perform and proceeds diligently to cure such failure
within no more than 30 days of receipt of said notice.
EJCDC C-700 Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

00700 - 42
Final Version
E. Where Contractor's services have been
so terminated by Owner, the termination will not
affect any rights or remedies of Owner against
Contractor then existing or which may thereafter
accrue. Any retention or payment of moneys due
Contractor by Owner will not release Contractor from
liability.
F. If and to the extent that Contractor has
provided a performance bond under the provisions
of Paragraph S.01.A, the termination procedures of
that bond shall supersede the provisions of
Paragraphs 1S.02.B, and 1S.02.C.
15.03 Owner May Terminate For Convenience
A. Upon seven days written notice to
Contractor and Engineer, Owner may, without cause
and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of
Owner, terminate the Contract. In such case,
Contractor shall be paid for (without duplication of
any items):
1. completed and acceptable Work executed
in accordance with the Contract Documents prior to
the effective date of termination, including fair and
reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such
Work;
2. expenses sustained prior to the effective
date of termination in performing services and fur-
nishing labor, materials, or equipment as required by
the Contract Documents in connection with uncom-
pleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for
overhead and profit on such expenses;
3. all claims, costs, losses, and damages
(including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other
professionals and all court or arbitration or other
dispute resolution costs) incurred in settlement of
terminated contracts with Subcontractors, Suppliers,
and others; and
4. reasonable expenses directly attributable
to termination.
B. Contractor shall not be paid on account of
loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other eco-
nomic loss arising out of or resulting from such
termination.
15.04 Contractor May Stop Work or Terminate
A. If, through no act or fault of Contractor, (i)
the Work is suspended for more than 90 consecutive
days by Owner or under an order of court or other
public authority, or (ii) Engineer fails to act on any
Application for Payment within 30 days after it is
submitted, or (iii) Owner fails for 30 days to pay
Contractor any sum finally determined to be due,
then Contractor may, upon seven days written notice
to Owner and Engineer, and provided Owner or
Engineer do not remedy such suspension or failure
within that time, terminate the Contract and recover
from Owner payment on the same terms as provided
in Paragraph 15.03.
B. In lieu of terminating the Contract and
without prejudice to any other right or remedy, if
Engineer has failed to act on an Application for
Payment within 30 days after it is submitted, or
Owner has failed for 30 days to pay Contractor any
sum finally determined to be due, Contractor may,
seven days after written notice to Owner and
Engineer, stop the Work until payment is made of all
such amounts due Contractor, including interest
thereon. The provisions of this Paragraph 15.04 are
not intended to preclude Contractor from making a
Claim under Paragraph 10.05 for an adjustment in
Contract Price or Contract Times or otherwise for
expenses or damage directly attributable to
Contractor's stopping the Work as permitted by this
Paragraph.
ARTICLE 16 - DISPUTE RESOLUTION
16.01 Methods and Procedures
A. Either Owner or Contractor may request
mediation of any Claim submitted to Engineer for a
decision under Paragraph 10.05 before such
decision becomes final and binding. The mediation
will be governed by the Construction Industry
Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration
Association in effect as of the Effective Date of the
Agreement. The request for mediation shall be
submitted in writing to the American Arbitration
Association and the other party to the Contract.
Timely submission of the request shall stay the
effect of Paragraph 10.0S.E.
B. Owner and Contractor shall participate in
the mediation process in good faith. The process
shall be concluded within 60 days of filing of the
request. The date of termination of the mediation
shall be determined by application of the mediation
rules referenced above.
C. If the Claim is not resolved by mediation,
Engineer's action under Paragraph 10.0S.C or a
denial pursuant to Paragraphs 10.0S.C.3 or 10.05.0
shall become final and binding 30 days after
termination of the mediation unless, within that time
period, Owner or Contractor:

~ The additional liability coverage for ENGINEER is not to be construed as
to requiring, in any way, that either OWNER or CONTRACTOR be
obligated to supply insurance protecting ENGINEER for its liability
emanating from professional errors or omissions.

acknowledged and the adequacy of which CONTRACTOR accepts as
completely fulfilling the obligations of OWNER, ENGINEER, and

C. Protect adjoining work, including sealant bond surfaces, from spillage or blow-over of water
repellent. Cover adjoining and nearby surfaces of aluminum and glass if there is the possibility
of water repellent being deposited on surfaces. Cover live plants and grass.
D. Coordination with Sealants: Do not apply water repellent until sealants for joints adjacent to
surfaces receiving water-repellent treatment have been installed and cured.
1. Water-repellent work may precede sealant application only if sealant adhesion and
compatibility have been tested and verified using substrate, water repellent, and sealant
materials identical to those used in the work.
E.
Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
APPLICATION
A.
Manufacturer's Field Service: Engage a factory-authorized service representative to inspect the
substrate before application of water repellent and to instruct Applicator on the product and
application method to be used.
B.
Apply a heavy-saturation spray coating of water repellent on surfaces indicated for treatment
using low-pressure spray equipment. Comply with manufacturer's written instructions for using
airless spraying procedure, unless otherwise indicated.
1. Precast Concrete: At Contractor's option, first application of water repellent on precast
concrete units may be completed before installing units. Mask sealant-bond surfaces to
prevent water repellent from migrating onto joint surfaces.
C.
Apply a second saturation spray coating, repeating first application. Comply with
manufacturer's written instructions for limitations on drying time between coats and after
rainstorm wetting of surfaces between coats. Consult manufacturer's technical representative if
written instructions are not applicable to Project conditions.
CLEANING
A.
Immediately clean water repellent from adjoining surfaces and surfaces soiled or damaged by
water-repellent application as work progresses. Repair damage caused by water-repellent

3.1 INSTALLATION
A. Comply with [ASTM C 636] [UBC Standard 25-2] and seismic design requirements indicated,
per manufacturer's written instructions and CISCA's "Ceiling Systems Handbook."
B. Measure each ceiling area and establish layout of acoustical panels to balance border widths at
opposite edges of each ceiling. Avoid using less-than-half-width panels at borders.
C. Suspend ceiling hangers from building's structural members, plumb and free from contact with
insulation or other objects within ceiling plenum. Splay hangers only where required[ and, if
permitted with fire-resistance-rated ceilings,] to miss obstructions; offset resulting horizontal
forces by bracing, countersplaying, or other equally effective means. Where width of ducts and
other construction within ceiling plenum produces hanger spacings that interfere with location
of hangers, use trapezes or equivalent devices. When steel framing does not permit installation
of hanger wires at spacing required, install carrying channels or other supplemental support for
attachment of hanger wires.
