§ 1.2.1 It is intended that the Contract Documents include all items necessary for the proper execution and completion of the
Work by the Contractor. All Work shown in, described in, or reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents to produce
the indicated results shall be performed by the Contractor so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended
use. The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is required by one shall be as binding as if required by all; in the
event of a conflict or inconsistency in or among the Contract Documents, or between the Contract Documents and any
applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, or codes in effect at the time the GMP is bid or negotiated, the provision
most favorable to the Owner shall control, and the Contractor shall, unless otherwise directed in writing by the Owner,
perform to the extent reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents, as a whole, as being necessary or desirable to
provide the indicated results and to provide the greatest quantity, highest quality, highest degree of safety, most stringent
material, equipment or Work and must complete execution of the Architect’s design intent as evidenced by the Contract
Documents.
§ 1.2.1.1 The invalidity of any provision of the Contract Documents shall not invalidate the Contract or its remaining
provisions. If it is determined that any provision of the Contract Documents violates any applicable law, or is otherwise
invalid or unenforceable, then that provision shall be revised to the extent necessary to make that provision legal and
enforceable. In such case the Contract Documents shall be construed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to give effect to
the parties’ intentions and purposes in executing the Contract.
§ 1.2.2 Organization of the Specifications into divisions, sections and articles, and arrangement of Drawings shall not control
the Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade.
§ 1.2.3 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, words that have well-known technical or construction industry
meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings.
§ 1.2.4 All indications or notations which apply to one or a number of similar situations, materials or processes shall be deemed
to apply to all such situations, materials or processes wherever they appear in the Work, except where a contrary result is clearly
indicated by the Contract Documents.
§ 1.2.5. Work for which no explicit quality or standards of materials and/or workmanship is defined in the Contract Documents
shall be of good quality for the intended use, and consistent with the quality of the surrounding Work and of the construction of
the Project generally.
§ 1.2.6. The Drawings are generally made to scale, but all working dimensions shall be taken from the figured dimensions, or by
actual measurements taken at the job, and not be scaled from the Drawings. Whether or not an error is believed to exist,
deviation from the Drawings and the dimensions given thereon shall be made only after approval in writing from the Architect
and Owner.
§ 1.2.7. Where the Work is to fit with existing conditions or work to be performed by others, the Contractor shall fully and
completely join the Work with such conditions or work, unless otherwise specified.

§ 2.2 Evidence of the Owner’s Financial Arrangements
§ 2.2.1 Prior to commencement of the Work and upon written request by the Contractor, the Owner shall furnish to the
Contractor reasonable evidence that the Owner has made financial arrangements to fulfill the Owner’s obligations under the
Contract. The Contractor shall have no obligation to commence the Work until the Owner provides such evidence. If
commencement of the Work is delayed under this Section 2.2.1, the Contract Time shall be extended appropriately.
§ 2.2.2 Following commencement of the Work and upon written request by the Contractor, the Owner shall furnish to the
Contractor reasonable evidence that the Owner has made financial arrangements to fulfill the Owner’s obligations under the
Contract only if (1) the Owner fails to make payments to the Contractor as the Contract Documents require; (2) the Contractor
identifies in writing a reasonable concern regarding the Owner’s ability to make payment when due; or (3) a change in the
Work materially changes the Contract Sum. If the Owner fails to provide such evidence, as required, within fourteen days of
the Contractor’s request, the Contractor may immediately stop the Work and, in that event, shall notify the Owner that the
Work has stopped. However, if the request is made because a change in the Work materially changes the Contract Sum under
(3) above, the Contractor may immediately stop only that portion of the Work affected by the change until reasonable
evidence is provided. If the Work is stopped under this Section 2.2.2, the Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and
the Contract Sum shall be increased by the amount of the Contractor’s reasonable costs of shutdown, delay and start-up, plus
interest as provided in the Contract Documents.
§ 2.2.3 After the Owner furnishes evidence of financial arrangements under this Section 2.2, the Owner shall not materially
vary such financial arrangements without prior notice to the Contractor.
§ 2.2.4 Where the Owner has designated information furnished under this Section 2.2 as “confidential,” the Contractor shall
keep the information confidential and shall not disclose it to any other person. However, the Contractor may disclose
“confidential” information, after seven (7) days’ notice to the Owner, where disclosure is required by applicable law,
including a subpoena or other form of compulsory legal process issued by a court or governmental entity with competent

§ 2.4 Owner’s Right to Stop the Work
If the Contractor fails to correct Work that is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents as required
by Section 12.2 or repeatedly fails to carry out Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Owner may issue a
written order to the Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated;
however, the right of the Owner to stop the Work shall not give rise to a duty on the part of the Owner to exercise this right for
the benefit of the Contractor or any other person or entity, except to the extent required by Section 6.1.3.
§ 2.5 Owner’s Right to Carry Out the Work
If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents and fails within a
seven-day period after receipt of notice from the Owner to commence and continue correction of such default or neglect with
diligence and promptness, the Owner may, without prejudice to other remedies the Owner may have, correct such default or
neglect. Such action by the Owner and amounts charged to the Contractor are both subject to prior approval of the Architect
and the Architect may, pursuant to Section 9.5.1, withhold or nullify a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part, to the
extent reasonably necessary to reimburse the Owner for the reasonable cost of correcting such deficiencies, including Owner’s
expenses and compensation for the Architect’s additional services made necessary by such default, neglect, or failure. If
current and future payments are not sufficient to cover such amounts, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.
ARTICLE 3 CONTRACTOR
§ 3.1 General
§ 3.1.1 The Contractor is the person or entity identified as such in the Agreement and is referred to throughout the Contract
Documents as if singular in number. The Contractor shall be lawfully licensed, if required in the jurisdiction where the Project
is located. The Contractor shall designate in writing a representative who shall have express authority to bind the Contractor
with respect to all matters under this Contract. The term “Contractor” means the Contractor or the Contractor’s authorized
representative.
§ 3.1.2 The Contractor shall use its best skill and effort in performing thee Work and shall perform the Work in a good and
workmanlike manner in accordance with the Contract Documents and applicable industry standards. The Contractor
represents that it has the necessary knowledge, experience, abilities, skills and resources to perform the Work.
§ 3.1.3 The Contractor shall not be relieved of its obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents
either by activities or duties of the Architect in the Architect’s administration of the Contract, or by tests, inspections or
approvals required or performed by persons or entities other than the Contractor.
§ 3.2 Review of Contract Documents and Field Conditions by Contractor
§ 3.2.1 Execution of the Contract by the Contractor is a representation that the Contractor has visited the site, become
generally familiar with local conditions under which the Work is to be performed, and correlated personal observations with
requirements of the Contract Documents.
§ 3.2.2 Because the Contract Documents are complementary, the Contractor shall, before starting each portion of the Work,
carefully study and compare the various Contract Documents relative to that portion of the Work, as well as the information
furnished by the Owner pursuant to Section 2.3.4, 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 coordination and construction by the Contractor and are not for the purpose of discovering errors, omissions, or
inconsistencies in the Contract Documents; however, the Contractor shall promptly report to the Architect any errors,
inconsistencies or omissions discovered by or made known to the Contractor as a request for information in such form as the
Architect may require. It is recognized that the Contractor’s review is made in the Contractor’s capacity as a contractor and
not as a licensed design professional, unless otherwise specifically provided in the Contract Documents.
§ 3.2.3 The Contractor is not required to ascertain that the Contract Documents are in accordance with applicable laws,
statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, or lawful orders of public authorities, but the Contractor shall promptly
report to the Architect any nonconformity discovered by or made known to the Contractor as a request for information in such
form as the Architect may require. If the Contractor, without written notice thereof to the Architect and Owner, performs any
Work with knowledge that such Work violates and applicable law, statute, ordinance, building code, rule or regulation or that
there is an error, inconsistency or omission in the Contract Documents, or if the Contractor, in the exercise of its professional
judgement, should have known of such violation, error, inconsistency or omission, the Contractor shall be responsible for the
performance thereof and for the full cost of correcting the same.

§ 3.2.4 If the Contractor believes that additional cost or time is involved because of clarifications or instructions the Architect
issues in response to the Contractor’s notices or requests for information pursuant to Sections 3.2.2 or 3.2.3, the Contractor
shall submit Claims as provided in Article 15. If the Contractor fails to perform the obligations of Sections 3.2.2 or 3.2.3, the
Contractor shall pay such costs and damages to the Owner, subject to Section 15.1.7, as would have been avoided if the
Contractor had performed such obligations. If the Contractor performs those obligations, the Contractor shall not be liable to
the Owner or Architect for damages resulting from errors, inconsistencies or omissions in the Contract Documents, for
differences between field measurements or conditions and the Contract Documents, or for nonconformities of the Contract
Documents to applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, and lawful orders of public authorities.
§ 3.3 Supervision and Construction Procedures
§ 3.3.1 The Contractor shall supervise and direct the Work, using the Contractor’s best skill and attention. The Contractor shall
be solely responsible for, and have control over, construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures, and for
coordinating all portions of the Work under the Contract. If the Contract Documents give specific instructions concerning
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures, the Contractor shall evaluate the jobsite safety thereof and
shall be solely responsible for the jobsite safety of such means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures. If the
Contractor determines that such means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures may not be safe, the Contractor shall
give timely notice to the Owner and Architect, and shall propose alternative means, methods, techniques, sequences, or
procedures. The Architect shall evaluate the proposed alternative solely for conformance with the design intent for the
completed construction. Unless the Architect objects to the Contractor’s proposed alternative, the Contractor shall perform the
Work using its alternative means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures.
§ 3.3.2 The Contractor shall be responsible to the Owner for acts and omissions of the Contractor’s employees, Subcontractors
and their agents and employees, and other persons or entities performing portions of the Work for, or on behalf of, the
Contractor or any of its Subcontractors.
§ 3.3.3 The Contractor shall be responsible for inspection of portions of Work already performed to determine that such
portions are in proper condition to receive subsequent Work.
§ 3.4 Labor and Materials
§ 3.4.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall provide and pay for labor, materials,
equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery, water, heat, utilities, transportation, and other facilities and services
necessary for proper execution and completion of the Work, whether temporary or permanent and whether or not incorporated
or to be incorporated in the Work.
§ 3.4.2 Except in the case of minor changes in the Work approved by the Architect, with Owners prior approval in accordance
with Section 3.12.8 or ordered by the Architect in accordance with Section 7.4, the Contractor may make substitutions only
with the consent of the Owner, after evaluation by the Architect and in accordance with a Change Order or Construction
Change Directive.
§ 3.4.3 The Contractor shall enforce strict discipline and good order among the Contractor’s employees and other persons
carrying out the Work. The Contractor shall not permit employment of unfit persons or persons not properly skilled in tasks
assigned to them. The Contractor shall use its best efforts to avoid creating any labor-related Work delays or disputes.
§ 3.5 Warranty
§ 3.5.1 The Contractor warrants to the Owner and Architect that materials and equipment furnished under the Contract will be
of good quality and new unless the Contract Documents require or permit otherwise. The Contractor further warrants that the
Work will conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents and will be free from defects, except for those inherent in
the quality of the Work the Contract Documents require or permit. Work, materials, or equipment not conforming to these
requirements may be considered defective. The Contractor’s warranty excludes remedy for damage or defect caused by abuse,
alterations to the Work not executed by the Contractor, improper or insufficient maintenance, improper operation, or normal
wear and tear and normal usage. If required by the Architect, the Contractor shall furnish satisfactory evidence as to the kind
and quality of materials and equipment. The warranty provided for under section 3.5 shall be in addition to, and not in
limitation of, any other warranty or remedy required or permitted by law or any of the Contract Documents, and such warranty
shall be interpreted to require the Contractor to replace any defective materials and equipment and to re-execute any faulty
Work or Work that is not in compliance with the Contract Documents that is disclosed to the Contractor within a period of one
(1) year (or longer if otherwise specifically provided in the Contract Documents) after Substantial Completion of the Work. If

the Owner discovers or determines, at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable warranty period, that any such fault or
defect exists, the Contractor shall promptly correct such fault or defect at its sole expense, and such correction shall be
warranted for an additional warranty period of one (1) year from the date of such correction. The Contractor’s obligations
under section 3.5 also extend to Work performed by any Subcontractor, except to the extent that any such warranties extend
for a longer period of time, in which event Contractor’s obligations shall also continue in effect for such longer period of time.
Contractor shall assign such extended warranties directly to the Owner.
§ 3.5.2 All material, equipment, or other special warranties required by the Contract Documents shall be issued in the name of
the Owner, or shall be transferable to the Owner, and shall commence in accordance with Section 9.8.4.
§ 3.6 Taxes
The Contractor shall pay applicable sales, consumer, use and similar taxes for the Work provided by the Contractor that are
legally enacted when bids are received or negotiations concluded, whether or not yet effective or merely scheduled to go into
effect. Owner represents and Contractor acknowledges that under Colorado statute, C.R.S. § 39-26-727, effective May 30,
2014, all sales of tangible personal property or services to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe are exempt from all state and local
sales or use tax if the vendor is located (i) on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation or (ii) outside of the Southern Ute Indian
Reservation but the property or services is delivered by the vendor and received by the Southern Ute Indian Tribe on the
Southern Ute Indian Reservation. Colo. Rev. Stat. § 39-26-727(3)(a) (2014). Contractor shall deliver its products and services
to Owner on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation, and as a result, all such products and support delivered under the Agreement
shall be exempt from state and local sales or use taxes, notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or otherwise to the contrary.
Accordingly, Owner will not reimburse Contractor for any sales, use, excise or similar taxes paid by Contractor, and any
amounts paid as such shall be promptly reimbursed by Contractor to Owner. Together with this Agreement, Owner is
furnishing Contractor with a copy of Owner’s tax-exempt certificate.
§ 3.7 Permits, Fees, Notices and Compliance with Laws
§ 3.7.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall secure and pay for the building permit as
well as for other applicable permits, fees, licenses, and inspections by government agencies necessary for proper execution
and completion of the Work that are customarily secured after execution of the Contract and legally required at the time bids
are received or negotiations concluded.
§ 3.7.2 The Contractor shall comply with and give notices required by applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and
regulations, and lawful orders of public authorities applicable to performance of the Work. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the Agreement, Contractor shall be solely responsible for Contractor's compliance with the Southern Ute Tribal
Employment Rights Code (the “TERO Code”), including any fees due and payable thereunder. Contractor shall be required to
work in compliance with the Southern Ute Indian Tribe’s Lands Division to determine whether a crossing permit is necessary
and shall be solely responsible for obtaining such crossing permit if it is determined to be necessary for Contractor or any
subcontractors. Contractor may obtain TERO Code compliance information from the Tribe’s TERO office by calling 970-5632291 or 970-563-2292.
§ 3.7.3 If the Contractor performs Work knowing it to be contrary to applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and
regulations, or lawful orders of public authorities, the Contractor shall assume appropriate responsibility for such Work and
shall bear the costs attributable to correction.
§ 3.7.4 Concealed or Unknown Conditions The Contractor represents that, in advance of execution of this Agreement, it has
thoroughly reviewed the existing site conditions and that it has no reason to believe those conditions are not suitable for the
Work contemplated in this Agreement. If the Contractor encounters conditions at the site that are (1) subsurface or otherwise
concealed physical conditions that differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents or (2) unknown physical
conditions of an unusual nature that differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent
in construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall promptly provide notice
to the Owner and the Architect before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than 14 days after first observance of the
conditions. The Architect will promptly investigate such conditions and, if the Architect determines that they differ materially
and cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, will
recommend that an equitable adjustment be made in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both. If the Architect determines
that the conditions at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents and that no change in
the terms of the Contract is justified, the Architect shall promptly notify the Owner and Contractor, stating the reasons. If either
party disputes the Architect’s determination or recommendation, that party may submit a Claim as provided in Article 15.
§ 3.7.5 If, in the course of the Work, the Contractor encounters human remains or recognizes the existence of burial markers,

archaeological sites or wetlands not indicated in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall immediately suspend any
operations that would affect them and shall notify the Owner and Architect. Upon receipt of such notice, the Owner shall
promptly take any action necessary to obtain governmental authorization and all necessary approvals required to resume the
operations. The Contractor shall continue to suspend such operations until otherwise instructed by the Owner but shall
continue with all other operations that do not affect those remains or features. Requests for equitable adjustments in the
Contract Sum and Contract Time arising from the existence of such remains or features may be made, if applicable, as
provided in Article 15.
§ 3.8 Allowances
§ 3.8.1 The Contractor shall include in the Contract Sum all allowances stated in the Contract Documents. Items covered by
allowances shall be supplied for such amounts and by such persons or entities as the Owner may direct, but the Contractor
shall not be required to employ persons or entities to whom the Contractor has reasonable objection.
§ 3.8.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents,
.1
allowances shall cover the cost to the Contractor of materials and equipment delivered at the site and all
required taxes, less applicable trade discounts;
.2
Contractor’s costs for unloading and handling at the site, labor, installation costs, overhead, profit, and other
expenses contemplated for stated allowance amounts shall be included in the Contract Sum but not in the
allowances; and
.3
whenever costs are more than or less than allowances, the Contract Sum shall be adjusted accordingly by
Change Order. The amount of the Change Order shall reflect (1) the difference between actual costs and the
allowances under Section 3.8.2.1 and (2) changes in Contractor’s costs under Section 3.8.2.2.
§ 3.9 Superintendent
§ 3.9.1 The Contractor shall employ a competent superintendent and necessary assistants who shall be in attendance at the
Project site at all times during performance of the Work. The superintendent shall represent the Contractor, and
communications given to the superintendent shall be as binding as if given to the Contractor.
§ 3.9.2 The Contractor, as soon as practicable after award of the Contract, shall notify the Owner and Architect of the name
and qualifications of a proposed superintendent. Within 14 days of receipt of the information, the Architect may notify the
Contractor, stating whether the Owner or the Architect (1) has reasonable objection to the proposed superintendent or (2)
requires additional time for review. Failure of the Architect to provide notice within the 14-day period shall constitute notice
of no reasonable objection.
§ 3.9.3 The Contractor shall not employ a proposed superintendent to whom the Owner or Architect has made reasonable and
timely objection. The Contractor shall not change the superintendent without the Owner’s consent, which shall not
unreasonably be withheld or delayed.

information a Contractor’s construction schedule for the Work. The schedule shall contain detail appropriate for the Project,
including (1) the date of commencement of the Work, interim schedule milestone dates, and the date of Substantial
Completion; (2) an apportionment of the Work by construction activity; and (3) the time required for completion of each
portion of the Work. The schedule shall provide for the orderly progression of the Work to completion and shall not exceed
time limits current under the Contract Documents. The schedule shall be revised at appropriate intervals as required by the
conditions of the Work and Project.
§ 3.10.2 The Contractor, within 14 days of after being awarded the Contract and thereafter as necessary to maintain a current
submittal schedule, shall submit a submittal schedule for the Architect’s approval. The Architect’s approval shall not be
unreasonably delayed or withheld. The submittal schedule shall (1) be coordinated with the Contractor’s construction
schedule, and (2) allow the Architect reasonable time to review submittals, and highlight dates with response times needed to
satisfy long lead item procurement as it affects the Work. If the Contractor fails to submit a submittal schedule, or fails to
provide submittals in accordance with the approved submittal schedule, the Contractor shall not be entitled to any increase in
Contract Sum or extension of Contract Time based on the time required for review of submittals.

the Owner), a summary report in a form and in sufficient detail and content as may be approved by the Owner, including a
statement concerning whether the performance of the Work is on schedule and, if not, the reasons therefor. If the performance of
the Work is not in compliance with the most recent schedule previously furnished by the Contractor, the weekly report shall
include the Contractor’s plan for completing the Work within the Contract Time.
§ 3.10.5 The Contractor shall hold progress meetings weekly (or at such other frequency as may be approved by the Owner), at
the site with representatives of the Owner, Architect and such other parties as the Owner may request. At such meetings, the
Contractor shall report in detail on the progress of the Work and the relationship thereof to the construction schedule.
§ 3.10.6 The Contractor shall request dates for proposed utility outages or tie-ins, parking lot or road obstructions, or any other
proposed interferences of the Tribe’s normal operations 14 days prior to the Work. This outage request must be approved by

The Contractor shall make available, at the Project site, the Contract Documents, including Change Orders, Construction
Change Directives, and other Modifications, in good order and marked currently to indicate field changes and selections made
during construction, and the approved Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, and similar required submittals. These shall be
in electronic form or paper copy, available to the Architect and Owner, and delivered to the Architect for submittal to the
Owner upon completion of the Work as a record of the Work as constructed. At the date of final completion, as a condition
precedent to final payment, the Contractor shall furnish to the Architect, for delivery to the Owner, the Record Drawings
showing the field changes and selections as previously approved by the Owner, and indicating the Work as actually installed, in
electronic format, satisfying the requirements of, to the extent reasonably practical, the requirements of the CAD Drawing

a Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor, manufacturer, supplier, or distributor to illustrate some portion of the Work.
§ 3.12.2 Product Data are illustrations, standard schedules, performance charts, instructions, brochures, diagrams, and other
information furnished by the Contractor to illustrate materials or equipment for some portion of the Work.
§ 3.12.3 Samples are physical examples that illustrate materials, equipment, or workmanship, and establish standards by which
the Work will be judged.
§ 3.12.4 Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, and similar submittals are not Contract Documents. Their purpose is to
demonstrate how the Contractor proposes to conform to the information given and the design concept expressed in the
Contract Documents for those portions of the Work for which the Contract Documents require submittals. Review by the
Architect is subject to the limitations of Section 4.2.7. Informational submittals upon which the Architect is not expected to
take responsive action may be so identified in the Contract Documents. Submittals that are not required by the Contract
Documents may be returned by the Architect without action.
§ 3.12.5 The Contractor shall review for compliance with the Contract Documents, approve, and submit to the Architect, Shop
Drawings, Product Data, Samples, and similar submittals required by the Contract Documents, in accordance with the
submittal schedule approved by the Architect and the Owner with reasonable promptness and in such sequence as to cause no
delay in the Work or in the activities of the Owner or of Separate Contractors.
§ 3.12.6 By submitting Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, and similar submittals, the Contractor represents to the Owner
and Architect that the Contractor reviewed, approved and verified all dimensions, quantities, field conditions, relations to
existing Work, coordination with Work to be installed later, coordination with information on Shop Drawings, Product Data,
Samples, or similar submittals previously approved by the Architect and Owner, or submitted by the Contractor for approval
but not yet acted upon by Architect and Owner, and verification of compliance with all the requirements of the Contract
Drawings. The accuracy of all such information is the responsibility of the Contractor. In approving these submittal

accurate and in compliance with the Contract Documents.
§ 3.12.7 The Contractor shall perform no portion of the Work for which the Contract Documents require submittal and review of
Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, or similar submittals, until the respective submittal has been approved by the Architect
and Owner. The Contractor shall submit any such Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples or other similar submittals to the
Architect and Owner for approval prior to the construction thereof in a timely and orderly sequence so as to allow for adequate
review thereof by the Architect and Owner and to avoid any delay in the progress of the Work.

responsibility for deviations from the requirements of the Contract Documents by the Architect’s and Owner’s approval of
Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, or similar submittals, unless the Contractor has specifically notified the Architect and
Owner ,in writing, of such deviation at the time of submittal and (1) the Architect and Owner has given written approval to the
specific deviation as a minor change in the Work, or (2) a Change Order or Construction Change Directive has been issued
authorizing the deviation. The Contractor shall not be relieved of responsibility for errors or omissions in Shop Drawings,
Product Data, Samples, or similar submittals, by the Architect’s or the Owner’s approval thereof.
§ 3.12.9 The Contractor shall direct specific attention, in writing or on resubmitted Shop Drawings, Product Data, Samples, or
similar submittals, to revisions other than those required by the Architect and Owner on previous submittals. In the absence of
such notice, the Architect’s or Owner’s approval of a resubmission shall not apply to such revisions.
§ 3.12.10 The Contractor shall not be required to provide professional services that constitute the practice of architecture or
engineering unless such services are specifically required by the Contract Documents for a portion of the Work or unless the
Contractor needs to provide such services in order to carry out the Contractor’s responsibilities for construction means,
methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures. The Contractor shall not be required to provide professional services in
violation of applicable law.
§ 3.12.10.1 If professional design services or certifications by a design professional related to systems, materials, or equipment
are specifically required of the Contractor by the Contract Documents, the Owner and the Architect will specify all
performance and design criteria that such services must satisfy. The Contractor shall be entitled to rely upon the adequacy and
accuracy of the performance and design criteria provided in the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall cause such services
or certifications to be provided by an appropriately licensed design professional, whose signature and seal shall appear on all
drawings, calculations, specifications, certifications, Shop Drawings, and other submittals prepared by such professional.
Shop Drawings, and other submittals related to the Work, designed or certified by such professional, if prepared by others,
shall bear such professional’s written approval when submitted to the Architect. The Owner and the Architect shall be entitled
to rely upon the adequacy and accuracy of the services, certifications, and approvals performed or provided by such design
professionals, provided the Owner and Architect have specified to the Contractor the performance and design criteria that such
services must satisfy. Pursuant to this Section 3.12.10, the Architect will review and approve or take other appropriate action
on submittals only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with information given and the design concept
expressed in the Contract Documents.
§ 3.12.10.2 If the Contract Documents require the Contractor’s design professional to certify that the Work has been performed

the site with materials or equipment. The right of possession of the site, including the Project and all improvements thereon by
the Contractor, shall remain at all times with the Owner.
§ 3.13.2 The Contractor shall perform the Work in such a manner as to cause minimum interference with or disruption of the
Owner’s operations and activities and of other contractor performing work or services thereon. The Contractor shall take, and
shall cause every Subcontractor to take all necessary precautions (including those required by the Owner’s safety regulations) to

§ 3.13.3 For building security purposes, the Owner has a “closed door” policy requiring all doors and windows in furnished
buildings on site be closed and latched completely and should not be propped open. The Owner expressly reserves the right to
fine the Contractor Five Hundred Dollars ($500) for each violation of such policy committed by the Contractor or any
Subcontractor, which amount may be deducted from those portions of the Contract Sum next becoming due to the Contractor. If
the Contractor or any Subcontractor has a specific need to prop open any doors or windows in connection with the Work, the
Contractor must obtain the Owner’s prior approval thereof.
§ 3.13.4 Contractor acknowledges that there may be limited space available near the work site. Space on or about the site or
otherwise the Tribe’s property shall be used by the Contractor, any Subcontractor, any of their respective employees or others in
their control only for the parking of vehicles needed during the construction process and any such vehicle shall be parked only
in areas designated and approved in advance by the Owner. All other vehicles belonging to the Contractor, any Subcontractors
or any of their respective employes or others in their control, including, but not limited to, vehicles used by any of them for
traveling to and from work, shall be parked only in the area designated and approved by the Owner. The Contractor shall be
responsible and liable for ensuring that the owners all of vehicles, regardless of location or duration have properly obtained
parking permits in advance. Any parking fees, tickets, fines or other charges incurred or levied as the result of the parking of any
vehicle in violation of this Section 3.13.4 shall be the responsibility and liability of the Contractor.
§ 3.13.5 Under no circumstances shall the Contractor, any Subcontractor or any of their respective employees take any action
(including, but not limited to, opening, and closing valves or switches, tripping breakers, etc.) that might cause an interruption,
regardless of the length thereof, of any utility service or other building service systems, including with limitation, gas, water, air
conditioning, and ventilating systems. If during the course of the Work, it shall be necessary for reasons of safety, convenience
or other reasons, to cause the interruption of any utility service or other building system service, the Contractor shall submit an
Outage Request Form (10) working days in advance of the date of any such proposed interruption. The actual interruption and
subsequent restoration of any such utility service or other building system service shall be performed only by maintenance
employees of the Owner.
§ 3.13.6 The Contractor shall be permitted access to the site between 6am and 6pm Monday through Friday, or at such other
times as may be authorized by the Owner. If the Contractor desires access to the site other than during said authorized hours, the
Contractor shall request permission from the Owner at least 48 hours in advance, which permission may be granted or denied at
the Owner’s sole discretion. Where Work is being performed in or near occupied areas, it may be necessary to schedule “noisy”
Work outside of business hours and/or on weekends.
§ 3.14 Cutting and Patching
§ 3.14.1 The Contractor shall be responsible for cutting, fitting, or patching required to complete the Work or to make its parts
fit together properly. All areas requiring cutting, fitting, or patching shall be restored to the condition existing prior to the
cutting, fitting, or patching, unless otherwise required by the Contract Documents.
§ 3.14.2 The Contractor shall not damage or endanger a portion of the Work or fully or partially completed construction of the
Owner or Separate Contractors by cutting, patching, or otherwise altering such construction, or by excavation. The Contractor
shall not cut or otherwise alter construction by the Owner or a Separate Contractor except with written consent of the Owner
and of the Separate Contractor. Consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Contractor shall not unreasonably withhold,
from the Owner or a Separate Contractor, its consent to cutting or otherwise altering the Work.

§ 3.15.1 The Contractor shall keep the premises and surrounding area free from accumulation of waste materials and rubbish
caused by operations under the Contract. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure the Project site is inspected
daily and no debris or trash is permitted to remain thereon. Trash must be removed daily at the Contractor’s expense as part of
the Cost of Work, subject to the GMP and not allowed to be disposed of in Owner’s waste receptacles. At completion of the
Work, the Contractor shall remove waste materials, rubbish, the Contractor’s tools, construction equipment, machinery, and
surplus materials from and about the Project.
§ 3.15.2 If the Contractor fails to clean up as provided in the Contract Documents, the Owner may do so and the Owner shall
be entitled to reimbursement from the Contractor.

by them, or anyone for whose acts they may be liable, regardless of whether or not such claim, damage, loss, or expense is

withheld.
§ 4.2 Administration of the Contract
§ 4.2.1 The Architect will provide administration of the Contract as described in the Contract Documents and will be an
Owner’s representative during construction, and in accordance with the agreement between the Owner and the Architect and
will be an Owner’s consultant and representative on a non-exclusive basis (with the Owner retaining final decision making
authority) during construction, until the date the Architect issues the final Certificate for Payment. The Architect will have
authority to act on behalf of the Owner only to the extent provided in the Contract Documents.
§ 4.2.2 The Architect will visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction, or as otherwise agreed with the
Owner, to become familiar with and keep the Owner informed about the progress and quality of the portion of the Work
completed, and to guard the Owner against defects and deficiencies in the Work, and determine if the Work observed is being
performed in a manner indicating that the Work, when fully completed, will be in accordance with the Contract Documents.
However, the Architect will not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or
quantity of the Work. The Architect will not have control over, charge of, or responsibility for the construction means,
methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for the safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work, since
these are solely the Contractor’s rights and responsibilities under the Contract Documents.
§ 4.2.3 On the basis of the site visits, the Architect will keep the Owner reasonably informed about the progress and quality of

the portion of the Work completed, and promptly report to the Owner (1) known deviations from the Contract Documents, (2)
known deviations from the most recent construction schedule submitted by the Contractor, and (3) defects and deficiencies
observed in the Work. The Architect will not be responsible for the Contractor’s failure to perform the Work in accordance
with the requirements of the Contract Documents. The Architect will not have control over or charge of, and will not be
responsible for acts or omissions of, the Contractor, Subcontractors, or their agents or employees, or any other persons or
entities performing portions of the Work.
§ 4.2.4 Communications
The Owner and Contractor shall endeavor to include the Architect in all communications that relate to or affect the Architect’s
services or professional responsibilities. The Owner shall promptly notify the Architect of the substance of any direct
communications between the Owner and the Contractor otherwise relating to the Project. Communications by and with the
Architect’s consultants shall be through the Architect. Communications by and with Subcontractors and suppliers shall be
through the Contractor. Communications by and with Separate Contractors shall be through the Owner. The Contract
Documents may specify other communication protocols.
§ 4.2.5 Based on the Architect’s evaluations of the Contractor’s Applications for Payment, the Architect will review and
certify the amounts due the Contractor and will issue Certificates for Payment in such amounts after consultation with and
approved by the Owner.
§ 4.2.6 The Architect has authority to reject Work that does not conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever the Architect
considers it necessary or advisable, the Architect will have authority to require inspection or testing of the Work in accordance
with Sections 13.4.2 and 13.4.3, whether or not the Work is fabricated, installed or completed. However, neither this authority
of the Architect nor a decision made in good faith either to exercise or not to exercise such authority shall give rise to a duty
or responsibility of the Architect or Owner to the Contractor, Subcontractors, suppliers, their agents or employees, or other
persons or entities performing portions of the Work.
§ 4.2.7 The Architect will review and approve, or take other appropriate action upon, the Contractor’s submittals such as Shop
Drawings, Product Data, and Samples, for the purpose of checking for conformance with information given and the design
concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The Architect’s action will be taken in accordance with the submittal schedule
approved by the Architect with reasonable promptness while allowing sufficient time in the Architect’s professional judgment
to permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and
completeness of other details such as dimensions and quantities, or for substantiating instructions for installation or
performance of equipment or systems, all of which remain the responsibility of the Contractor as required by the Contract
Documents. The Architect’s review of the Contractor’s submittals shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligations under
Sections 3.3, 3.5, and 3.12. The Architect’s review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or of any construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures. The Architect’s approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval
of an assembly of which the item is a component. The Architect’s submittal response time shall be limited to no more than 14
business days (including the sub-consultant and Owner).
§ 4.2.8 The Architect will prepare Change Orders and Construction Change Directives, and may order minor changes in the
Work as provided in Section 7.4. The Architect will investigate and make determinations and recommendations regarding

Completion and the date of final completion; issue Certificates of Substantial Completion pursuant to Section 9.8; receive and
forward to the Owner, for the Owner’s review and records, written warranties and related documents required by the Contract
and assembled by the Contractor pursuant to Section 9.10; and issue a final Certificate for Payment, for approval by the
Owner pursuant to Section 9.10.
§ 4.2.10 If the Owner and Architect agree, the Architect will provide one or more Project representatives to assist in carrying
out the Architect’s responsibilities at the site. The Owner shall notify the Contractor of any change in the duties,
responsibilities and limitations of authority of the Project representatives.
§ 4.2.11 The Architect will recommend matters concerning performance under, and requirements of, the Contract Documents
on written request of either the Owner or Contractor. The Architect’s response to such requests will be made in writing within

will endeavor to secure faithful performance by the Contractor and will not be liable for recommendations rendered in good
faith.
§ 4.2.13 The Architect’s decisions on matters relating to aesthetic effect will be final if consistent with the intent expressed in
the Contract Documents.
§ 4.2.14 The Architect will review and respond to requests for information about the Contract Documents. The Architect’s
response to such requests will be made in writing within any time limits agreed upon or otherwise with reasonable promptness.
If appropriate, the Architect will prepare and issue supplemental Drawings and Specifications in response to the requests for
information. Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, a failure by the Architect to perform any of
its duties or responsibilities under the Contract Documents shall not constitute a default by the Owner thereunder or relieve the
Contractor from any of its duties or responsibilities under the Contract Documents.

reasonable and timely objection. The Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Contractor has
made reasonable objection.
§ 5.2.3 If the Owner or Architect has reasonable objection to a person or entity proposed by the Contractor, the Contractor
shall propose another to whom the Owner or Architect has no reasonable objection. If the proposed but rejected Subcontractor
was reasonably capable of performing the Work, the GMP and Contract Time shall be increased or decreased by the
difference, if any, occasioned by such change, and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued before commencement of the
substitute Subcontractor’s Work. However, no increase in the GMP or Contract Time shall be allowed for such change unless
the Contractor has acted promptly and responsively in submitting names as required.

by these Contract Documents, assumes toward the Owner. Each subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of
the Owner and Architect under the Contract Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor so that
subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights, and shall allow to the Subcontractor, unless specifically provided
otherwise in the subcontract agreement, the benefit of all rights, remedies, and redress against the Contractor that the
Contractor, by the Contract Documents, has against the Owner. Where appropriate, the Contractor shall require each
Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with Sub-subcontractors. The Contractor shall make available to each proposed
Subcontractor, prior to the execution of the subcontract agreement, copies of the Contract Documents to which the
Subcontractor will be bound, and, upon written request of the Subcontractor, identify to the Subcontractor terms and
conditions of the proposed subcontract agreement that may be at variance with the Contract Documents. Subcontractors will
similarly make copies of applicable portions of such documents available to their respective proposed Sub-subcontractors.

ensure that subcontractors exercise their work with the same degree of skill and care required by the industry’s
customary professional practice;

4.

pay any costs incurred for failing to meet these standards;

assignment is subject to the prior rights of the surety, if any, obligated under bond relating to the Contract.

When the Owner accepts the assignment of a subcontract agreement, the Owner assumes the Contractor’s rights and
obligations under the subcontract.
§ 5.4.2 Upon such assignment, if the Work has been suspended for more than 30 days, the Subcontractor’s compensation shall
be equitably adjusted for increases in cost resulting from the suspension.
§ 5.4.3 Upon assignment to the Owner under this Section 5.4, the Owner may further assign the subcontract to a successor
contractor or other entity. If the Owner assigns the subcontract to a successor contractor or other entity, the Owner shall
nevertheless remain legally responsible for all of the successor contractor’s obligations under the subcontract.
ARTICLE 6 CONSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR BY SEPARATE CONTRACTORS
§ 6.1 Owner’s Right to Perform Construction and to Award Separate Contracts
§ 6.1.1 The term “Separate Contractor(s)” shall mean other contractors retained by the Owner under separate agreements. The
Owner reserves the right to perform construction or operations related to the Project with the Owner’s own forces, and with
Separate Contractors retained under Conditions of the Contract substantially similar to those of this Contract, including those
provisions of the Conditions of the Contract related to insurance and waiver of subrogation.
§ 6.1.2 When separate contracts are awarded for different portions of the Project or other construction or operations on the site,

with the Work of the Contractor, who shall cooperate with them. The Contractor shall participate with any Separate
Contractors and the Owner in reviewing their construction schedules. The Contractor shall make any revisions to its
construction schedule deemed necessary after a joint review and mutual agreement. The construction schedules shall then
