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.

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.

(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. a r 13.
