"SECTION A
GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. GENERAL: These general conditions, together witn such
modifications thereof or additions thereto as may be set forth
In the 'Special Conditions' section, are hereby made a part of
each section of the specifications to the same force and effect
as if wholly embodied therein.
2. PRINCIPLES AND DEFINITIONS: Principles and definitions
upon which the contract will be based are in part as follows:
(a) The contract documents consist of the drawings; the
specifications, the bulletins covering interpretations thereof
or other instructions issued during the preparation of bids;
the agreement as executed by the Owner and the Contractor;
and all subsequent modifications of the contract as agreed
upon by the parties thereto.
(b) The Owner, the Architect, and the Contractor are
those named as such in the agreement. They are treated
throughout the contract documents as if each were of the
singular number and masculine gender.
(c) The term 'subcontractor', as employed herein, in-
cludes only those having a direct contract with the Contractor;
it includes one who furnishes material worked to a special
design in accordance with the drawings or specifications for
the work, but does not include one who merely furnishes
material not so worked.
(d) Written notice shall be deemed to have been duly
served if delivered in person to the individual or to a member
of the firm or to an officer of the corporation for whom it is
intended, or if delivered at or sent by registered mail to the
last business address known to him who gives the notice.
(e) The term work includes labor or materials or both.
(f) Time limits stated in the contract documents are of
the essence of the contract.
-2-
(g) The terms approved, as directed, rn oiler, suitable,
satisfactory, equal, and other words of similar meaning and
intent, implying exercise of judgment, discretion, or decision
to be made, shall refer to the Judgment, discretion and de-
cision of the Architect.
(h) The term similar shall apply in its general sense
only and not as meaning identical, and all details of con-
struction contingent thereon shall be worked out accordingly.
3. JURISDICTION OF ARCHITECT:
(a) The Architect shall decide all questions as to the
Intent and meaning of the drawings, specifications, and re-
lated documents, all questions as to errors and ambiguities
therein or omissions therefrom and all questions as to the
sufficiency of the performance of work under the contract;
and both the Owner and the Contractor hereby concede and agree
to such jurisdiction of the Architect. The Architect is like-
wise conceded authority to stop the work whenever such action
Is deemed by him to be necessary in securing fulfillment of
the requirements of this contract.
(b) The entire work shall be executed under the super-
vision and control of the Architect and those duly appointed
to represent him. The placing of materials on the premises,
conduct of workmen, time and order in which the several parts
of the work are installed, and all matters pertaining
generally to the operations and orderly conduct of the Con-
tractor, his subcontractors, and employees on the site of the
work, shall be subject to the direction and approval of the
Architect.
4. OTHER CONTRACTS:
(a) The Owner reserves the right to do other work in
connection with this project, either by contract or otherwise,
and the Contractor shall afford such other contractors or
workmen reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage
.-3-
of their materials and exeoution of their work, and shall
properly connect and coordinate his work with theirs.
(b) Before starting work, the Contractor shall examine
such work of others as may affect the work under his oharge,
and shall report in writing to the Architect all conditions
deviating from requirements of the drawings or specifications,
faulty or improper work, and all other conditions arising from
said work of others, or the doing of it, whereby his work may
be impaired, and shall otherwise assure himself that all oon-
ditions are, or will be, such as will permit proper execution
of the work.
5. INVESTIGATIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS:
(a) The Contractor acknowledges that he has informed
himself fully regarding the requirements of the drawings and
specifications, these general conditions and such modifications
thereof as may appear in the 'Special Conditions' section, and
of all applicable laws, ordinances, and controlling regulations
pertaining to the operations under the contract.
(b) Similarly, the Contractor will be held to have visited
the site of the work, compared the same with the requirements
of the drawings and specifications, and to have informed him-
self fully as to all existing conditions under which the work
of the contract is to be performed, including topography of,
approaches to, and improvements on or about the site.
(c) Any failure by the Contractor to have so acquainted
himself with all available information concerning these condi-
tions, including all other factors affecting costs or liabilities,
shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for the full
and proper performance of the work in accordance with the re-
quirements of the contract documents, and for the amount of
the consideration named therein or otherwise determined as
herein provided.

6. SUBCONTRACTORS:
(a) Subcontractors for any and all parts of the work
must be approved by the Architect in writing prior to execu-
tion of their respective contracts. The Contractor shall

pass upon same with reasonable promptness. Failure of the
Contractor to do so shall invalidate any or all subcontract
agreements executed without such written approval, and the
Contractor shall save harmless the Owner from all damages
arising therefrom.
(b) Should any action be taken by the Owner or the

relationship be deemed to exist between the Owner and any
subcontractor.
(e) The Contractor agrees to bind every subcontractor,
and every subcontractor agrees to be bound, by the terms of
the General Conditions, Special Conditions, drawings, and
specifications, insofar as applicable to their respective
parts of the work. The duties and liabilities of the Con-
tractor to each subcontractor shall be considered as corresponding
to those which the Owner assumes toward the contractor under
the provisions of the contract; of the subcontractors, the
duties and liabilities assumed toward the Owner by the
Contractor.
(d) The Contractor will be held responsible for all
subcontractors and trades working in harmony, and for the
work of one not interfering with that of another, and shall
so lay out the work that this end is accomplished. All
-5-
subcontractors shall install their work in such manner at
such times as will not impede or impair the work of other
trades.
(e) Subcontractors shall accurately fit their work
to all finished portions adjoining the same, and, to this
end, shall take all measurements on the job as required to

(b) Days lost due to strikes, riots, inclement weather,
acts or neglect of the Owner or Architect, or other extra-
ordinary circumstances beyond control of the Contractor, may
be added to dates for starting and completing the work, provided
the Architect recommends such extensions and the extension is
approved by the Owner. Requests shall be made in writing, and
will only be considered at or within seven (7) days of such

able scale, to appropriately indicate the percentage of work
scheduled for completion at any time.
9. ORDER OF WORK: The work shall be carried on at such places
and in such order of precedence as may be deemed necessary by
the Architect. Whenever considered advisable in the judgment of
the Architect to temporarily suspend or omit parts of the
operations, framing, construction, or other work required under
the contract, the Contractor shall make all necessary provisions
to facilitate the continuance and completion of such work in a
safe and satisfactory manner, and in the required sequence as

Contractor for the purpose of receiving and carrying out the
orders of the Architect or his representatives.
(c) It shall not be incumbent upon either the Owner or
the Architect to notify the Contractor to attend to or have in
readiness such work or materials as the progress of the operar
tions may require; furthermore, the Contractor shall be
7-
r 6�1 /e�i
responsible for all delays caused by his neglect of those

and inspect the work.
11. DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS:
(a) These specifications and the accompanying drawings
are the property of the Architect, and shall be returned to
him at the completion of the contract, and before the work
will be accepted. The said documents were prepared for the
particular work mentioned, and shall not be used for the
construction of any other work in whole or part. It is the
Intention of these documents to require the completion of
the work in a thorough and workmanlike manner in every respect.
(b) In general, the drawings indicate dimensions,
position, and kind of construction; the specifications,
qualities of materials and methods of workmanship. Any work
indicated on the drawings and not mentioned in the specifications
or vice versa, shall be furnished as though fully set forth in
both. Work not particularly detailed, marked, or specified shall
be the same as similar parts that are detailed, marked, or
specified.
NE
r
(o) Should any error appear in the drawings or specifica-
tions, or in the work done by others affecting the work of the
contract. the Contractor shall notify the Arohitect at once, and
the Architect will issue instructions as to the procedure to be
followed. If the Contractor proceeds with any such work without
appropriate instructions from the Architect, the Contractor shall
make good all resulting damage and defects. This clause shall be
deemed to include typographical errors in the specifications, and
notational errors on the drawings where doubtful of interpretation.
(d) Figured dimensions take precedence over scale measure-
ments, detail drawings over general drawings, and drawings of
later date over those of earlier date. In like manner, addenda
to specifications take precedence over original specifications
and earlier addenda thereto.
12. SUPPLEMENTARY DETAILS:
(a) The Architect will furnish such additional large
scale or full size detail drawings as he may deem rieeeseary to
more fully explain the work; furthermore, these supplementary
details shall be considered as a part of the contract. Any
work done before receipt of such details if not in accordance
therewith, shall be removed and replaced with proper workmanship
and materials, or adjusted as directed, without additional
expense to the Owner.
(b) Should any details be, in the opinion of the Contractor,
more elaborate than scale drawings and specifications warrant,
written notice thereof shall be given to the Architect within
five (5) days of the receipt of the same. The claim will then
be considered, and, if justified, said drawings will be amended
or the extra work authorized. Non- receipt of such notice
shall be construed as relieving the Owner of any claim arising
therefrom.

13. SHOP DRAWINGS:
(a) The Contractor shall prepare and submit, with such
promptness as will cause no delay in the work, two (2) copies
of all shop or setting diagrams and schedules required for the
work of the various trades, and the Architect will pass upon

make all corrections required by the Architect, shall file
with him two (2) corrected copies, and furnish such additional
copies thereof as may be required to correlate the work of the
several trades.

tions at the time of submission, nor shall it relieve him from
responsibility for any errors appearing in such shop drawings.
14. DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS ON THE WORK: The Contractor
shall keep one (1) copy of all drawings and specifications on
the work, in good order, and readily available to the Owner,
the Arohitect, and their representatives for reference purposes.
15. DIVISIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS: For convenience, these
specifications are arranged in several trade sections; however,
such segregation shall not be considered as limiting the work
required of any sub - contract or trade. Except as otherwise
provided herein, the terms and conditions of such limitations
shall lie solely betweem the Contractor and his subcontractors.
16. ADDENDA TO SPECIFICATIONS: Bulletins and instructions
Issued by the Architect during the period of bidding, covering
changes in or special interpretations of the drawings or specifi-
cations, will be incorporated in the contract documents by means
of addenda to the specifications. Before executing the contract,
io
the Contractor shall assure himself that all changes and
Interpretations covered by such bulletins and instructions,
if any, have been correctly listed and described in the
related addenda.
17. CHANGES:
(a) The Owner shall have the right at all times during
the progress of the work to require changes in, additions to,
or omissions from, the work contemplated by the contract
documents; and the same shall in no way make void the contract.
Changes, additions, or omissions so required shall be made only
in pursuance of a written order from the Owner, bearing the
approval of the Architect and the acceptance endorsement of
the Contractor; and the contract shall not be deemed to have
been altered thereby, either as to time for completion, work
to be done, or contract consideration, except as expressly
stated in such written order.

the change order. The Contractor shall prepare said estimates
in such itemized form as may be directed; and such estimates
shall be accompanied by signed copies of all subcontractor's
quotations involved therein.
