hours. Contractor shall be entitled to additional compensation for such
overtime.

fide estimate of the amount of damages the Owner will sustain as a
result of any such failure to timely complete the Work.

compare the various Drawings and other Contract Documents relative to
that portion of the Work, as well as the information furnished by the
Owner pursuant to Subparagraph 7.1.1, shall take field measurements of
any existing conditions related to that portion of the Work and shall
observe any conditions at the site affecting it. These obligations are
for the purpose of facilitating construction by the Contractor and are

inconsistencies in the Contract Documents; however, any errors,
omissions or inconsistencies discovered by the Contractor shall be
reported promptly to the Owner.
8.1.1.2 Owner does not warrant the accuracy of any grades, elevations,
dimensions, or locations given on any Drawings, Specifications, or work

techniques, sequences or procedures may not be safe.
8.2.2 The Contractor shall be responsible to the Owner for acts and
omissions of the Contractor's employees, Subcontractors and their

unless otherwise required or permitted by the Contract Documents, that
the Work will be free from defects not inherent in the quality required
or permitted, and that the Work will at Final Completion conform with

considered defective. The Contractor's warranty excludes remedy for
damage or defect caused by abuse, modifications not executed by the
Contractor, improper or insufficient maintenance, improper operation or
normal wear and tear and normal usage. The Contractor's warranty as to
all Work, including repair or replacement of any defective materials or
faulty workmanship shall extend for one year after the date of Final
Completion of the Work. As a condition of Substantial Completion, the
Contractor shall provide Owner a list of firms authorized to respond to

and diligently pursue the Work to completion thereafter, Contractor
authorizes Owner to proceed to have the defects repaired and to bill
Contractor for all labor and materials, expenses and charges necessary
for the repair or replacement. Contractor shall pay Owner's invoices
for such work within ten (10) days of receipt of such invoices.
8.5 TAXES
The Contractor shall pay sales, consumer, use and other similar taxes

authorities applicable to performance of the Work. The Contractor shall
promptly notify the Architect and Owner if the Drawings and
Specifications are observed by the Contractor to be at variance
therewith. If the Contractor performs Work knowing it to be contrary to
laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, and rules and regulations
without such notice to the Architect and Owner, the Contractor shall
assume appropriate responsibility for such Work and shall bear the
costs attributable to correction.

reasonable opportunity for introduction and storage of their materials and
equipment and performance of their activities, and shall connect and

ARTICLE 12 CHANGES IN THE WORK
12.1 The Owner, without invalidating the Contract, may order changes in
the Work within the general scope of the Contract consisting of additions,
deletions or other revisions, the Contract Sum and Contract Time being
adjusted accordingly. Such changes in the Work shall be authorized by
written Change Order signed by the Owner, and Contractor in advance, or by
written Construction Change Directive signed by the Owner.

determined by mutual agreement of the parties or, in the case of a
Construction Change Directive, by the Contractor's cost of labor, material,

of all matters relating to the change in the Work that is the subject of
the Change Order, including, but not limited to, all direct and indirect
costs associated with such change and any and all adjustments to the
Contract Time. To the extent that a dispute arises between the Contractor

that differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents or
from those conditions ordinarily found to exist, the Contract Sum and
Contract Time shall be equitably adjusted. No adjustment in the Contract
Time shall be permitted, however, in connection with a concealed or unknown
condition that does not differ materially from those conditions disclosed
or that reasonably should have been discovered by the Contractor's
inspections, tests, reviews, and pre-construction investigation of the
Project as required under the Contract Documents.

Contract. By executing the Agreement the Contractor confirms that the

contractual or otherwise, did not pay the insurance premium directly or
indirectly, and whether or not the person or entity had an insurable
interest in the property damaged.

ARTICLE 19 TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT
19.1 TERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTOR
If through no fault of the Contractor, the Owner fails to make payment
within seven (7) days from the time payment should have been made provided
herein (except where such nonpayment is due to defective Work by Contractor
or other material breach by Contractor), then Contractor may, without
prejudice to any other remedy it may have, upon two (2) additional days'
written notice to the Owner, stop its Work until payment of the amount
owing has been received. In the event Contractor resumes its Work, the
Schedule shall be equitably adjusted, and Owner shall incur no liability
for such suspension. If, through no fault of the Contractor, the
Contractor's Work is suspended for the more then sixty (60) days, the
Contract Sum may be equitably adjusted by the amount of Contractor's
reasonable costs of shutdown, delay and startup. The Contractor may, upon
seven additional days' written notice to the Owner and the Architect,
terminate the Contract and recover from the Owner payment for Work
executed and for proven loss with respect to materials, equipment, tools,
and construction equipment and machinery, including reasonable overhead,
profit and damages applicable to the Project.
19.2 TERMINATION BY THE OWNER
19.2.1 The Owner may terminate the Contract if the Contractor:
.1 refuses or fails to supply enough properly skilled workers or
proper materials;
.2 fails to make payment to Subcontractors for materials or labor in
accordance with the respective agreements between the Contractor
and the Subcontractors;
.3 disregards laws, ordinances, or rules, regulations or orders of a
public authority having jurisdiction; or
.4 otherwise is guilty of breach of a provision of the Contract
Documents.
19.2.2 When any of the above reason exists, the Owner, may, without
prejudice to any other remedy the Owner may have and after giving the
Contractor seven days' written notice, terminate the Contract and take
possession of the site and all materials, equipment, tools, and
construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Contractor and
may finish the Work by whatever reasonable method the Owner may deem
expedient. Upon request of the Contractor, the Owner shall furnish to the
Contractor a detailed accounting of the costs incurred by the Owner in
finishing the Work.
19.2.3 When the Owner terminates the Contract for one of the reasons stated
in Subparagraph 19.2.1, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive
further payment until the Work is finished. If the Contractor's Work is
terminated or suspended for the convenience of the Owner or any other
party, (as opposed to termination for Contractor's default), then
Contractor shall be paid for all Work performed to-date, and for equipment
and materials already ordered. Contractor shall not be entitled to any
additional payment for claimed termination damages or costs.
19.2.4 If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum exceeds costs of finishing
the Work, including compensation for the Architect's services and expenses
made necessary thereby, and other damages incurred by the Owner and not
expressly waived, such excess shall be paid to the
