sections in keeping with accepted industry practice to

specification sections into work performed by the various
building trades, work by separate subcontractors, or work
required for separate facilities in the project.
2. SPECIFICATION LANGUAGE
"Command" type sentences are used in the Contract Documents.
These refer to and are directed to the Contractor. Engineer,
Architect, Project Architect, Architect/Engineer, or Landscape
Architect are defined as: O'Leary Design Associates, Landscape

The prospective bidders must meet the statutorily prescribed
requirements before Award of Contract by the Village.
5. DOCUMENT INTERPRETATION
The Contract Drawings governing the work proposed herein
consist of the Drawings and all material bound herewith.
These Contract Documents are intended to be mutually
cooperative and to provide all details reasonably required for
the execution of the proposed work. Any person contemplating
the submission of a proposal shall have thoroughly examined
all of the various parts of these documents, and should there
be any doubt as to the meaning or intent of said Contract

writing, (at least 7 calendar days prior to bid opening) an

Each Bidder must inform himself of the conditions relating to
the execution of the work and it is assumed that he will
inspect the site and make himself thoroughly familiar with all
the Contract Documents. Failure to do so will not relieve the
successful Bidder of his obligation to enter into a Contract
and complete the contemplated work in strict accordance with
the Contract Documents. It shall be the Bidder's obligation
to verify for himself and to his complete satisfaction all
information concerning site and subsurface conditions.
Information derived from inspection of Drawings showing
location of utilities and structures will not in any way
relieve the Contractor from any risk, or from properly
examining the sites and making such additional investigations
as he may elect, or from properly fulfilling all the terms of
the Contract Documents.
Each Bidder shall inform himself of, and the Bidder awarded
a Contract shall comply with, Federal, State and local laws,
statutes, and ordinances relative to the execution of the

7. DRAWINGS
No return of Drawings is required and no refund of the Drawing
purchase price will be made.
8. TYPE OF PROPOSAL
When the Proposal for the work is to be submitted on a unit
price basis, unit price Proposals will be accepted on all
items of work set forth in the Proposal, except those
designated to be paid for as a lump sum. The estimate of
quantities of work to be done is tabulated in the Proposal
and, although stated with as much accuracy as possible, is
approximate only and is assumed solely for the basis of
calculation upon which the award of Contract shall be made.
Payment to the Contractor will be made on the measurement of
the work actually performed by the Contractor as specified in
the Contract Documents. The Village reserves the right to
increase or decrease the amount of any class of work as may
B-2
be deemed necessary.
When the proposal for the work is to be submitted on a lump
sum basis, the lump sum price shall include all labor,
materials, and equipment to complete the work described in the
bid item included in the bid schedule. The bid items are
intended to be general in nature and are not meant to be
exhaustive in detail. Payment for all portions of the work
associated with and necessary for the completion of a bid item
shall be included in the lump sum price for that item whether
or not it is mentioned specifically in the bid item
description. All work described in the plans and
specifications shall be accomplished and paid for as a part
of one or more bid items. If the Contractor believes that a
portion of the work as described in the plans and
specifications has not been included in any bid item, he shall
bring this fact to the attention of the Engineer at least one
week before the bids are to be received. Otherwise, it shall
be assumed that the Contractor's proposal includes
reimbursement for all work described in the plans and
specifications.
9. PREPARATION OF PROPOSALS
Bidders submitting proposals must return the entire Contract
Documents and Specifications book as part of their bid.
Bidders must submit bid prices for all items. All blank
spaces in the Proposal form must be filled in, preferably in
black ink, in both words and figures where required. No
changes shall be made in the phraseology of the forms.
Written amount shall govern in case of discrepancy between the
amounts stated in writing and the amounts stated in figures.
In case of discrepancy between unit prices and totals, unit
prices will prevail. Bidders must complete all forms included
with the Bid Documents accompanied by such certificates and
forms as specified elsewhere herein.
Any proposal shall be deemed non -responsive which contains
materials omissions, or irregularities, or in which any of the
prices are obviously unbalanced, or which in any manner shall
fail to conform to the conditions of the published Invitation
to Bid.
Only one bid from any individual, firm, partnership, or
corporation, under the same or different names, will be
considered. Should it appear to the Village that any Bidder
is interested in more than one bid for work contemplated, all
bids in which such a Bidder is interested will be rejected.
The bidder shall sign his Proposal in the blank space provided
therefore. If the Bidder is a corporation, the legal name of
B-3
the corporation shall be set forth above, together with the
signature of the officer or officers authorized to sign
Contracts on behalf of the corporation. If Bidder is a
partnership, the true name of the firm shall be set forth
above, together with the signature of the partner of partners
authorized to sign Contracts in behalf of the partnership.
If signature is by an agent, other than an officer of a
corporation or a member of a partnership, a notarized power -
of -attorney must be on file with the Village prior to opening
of proposals or submitted with the proposal.
10. CHANGES IN QUANTITIES
The Village reserves the right to increase or decrease the
amount of any class of unit price work that may be deemed
necessary, except that such increases or decreases in amounts
shall not be more than 25 percent of the quantities shown on
the Drawings, and Specifications without a negotiated Change
Order.
11. STATE AND LOCAL SALES AND USE TAXES
Unless supplementary conditions contains a statement that the
Village is exempt from state sales tax on materials
incorporated into the work due to the qualification of the
work under this Contract, all State and local sales and use
taxes, as required by the laws and statutes of the State and
its political subdivisions, shall be paid by the Contractor.
Prices quoted in the Proposal shall include all nonexempt
sales and use taxes, unless provision is made in the proposal
form to separately itemize the tax.
12. SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS
All Proposals must be received not later than time prescribed,
at the place, and in the manner set forth in the Invitation

communication at any time prior to the scheduled closing time
from receipt of bids, provided such communication is received

of receipt from the VILLAGE.
Forfeiture of Bid Security:
2.3 Failure of the successful Bidder to execute and deliver
the Agreement and deliver the required bonds as stipulated in
paragraph 2.2 shall be cause for the VILLAGE to annul the
Notice of Award and declare the Bid and any security therefore
forfeited.
Contractor's Pre -Start Representative:
2.4 CONTRACTOR represents that he has familiarized himself
with, and assumes full responsibility for having familiarized
himself with the nature and extent of the Contract Documents,
work, locality, and with all local conditions and federal,
state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations that
may in any manner affect performance of the Work, and
represents that he has correlated his study and observations
with the requirements of the Contract Documents. CONTRACTOR
also represents that he has studied all surveys and
investigation reports of subsurface and latent physical
conditions referred to in the specifications and made such
additional surveys and investigations as he deems necessary
for the performance of the Work at the Contract Documents and
that he has correlated the results of all such data with the
requirements of the Contract Documents.
Commencement of Contract Time:
2.5 The Contract Time will commence to run on the date stated
in the Notice to Proceed.
Starting the Project:
2.6 CONTRACTOR shall start to perform his obligations under

the date on which the Contract Time commences to run, except
with the written consent of the VILLAGE.
Before Starting Construction:
2.7 Before undertaking each part of the Work, CONTRACTOR
shall carefully study and compare the Contract Documents and
check and verify pertinent figures shown thereon and all
applicable field measurements. He shall at once report in
writing to ENGINEER any conflict, error, or discrepancy which
he may discover; however, he shall not be liable to VILLAGE,
or ENGINEER for his failure to discover any conflict, error,
or discrepancy in the Drawings or Specifications.
Schedule of Completion:
2.8 Within ten days after delivery of the Notice to Proceed
by VILLAGE to CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER
for approval, an estimated progress schedule with earnings
indicating the starting and completion dates of the various
stages of the Work, and a preliminary schedule of Shop Drawing
submissions. See paragraph 6.23. The ENGINEER shall approve
this schedule or require revisions thereto within 14 days of
its submittal.
K-5
If there is more than one CONTRACTOR involved in a Project the
responsibility for coordinating the Work of all CONTRACTORS
shall be as provided in the Special Conditions and Contract
Documents.
2.9 Within twenty days after delivery of the executed
Agreement by VILLAGE to CONTRACTOR, but before starting the
Work at the site, a preconstruction conference will be held to
review the above schedules, to establish procedures for
handling Shop Drawings and other submissions, and for
processing Applications for Payment, and to establish a
working understanding between the parties as to the Project.
Present at the conference will be the VILLAGE or his
representative, ENGINEER, Resident Project Representatives,
CONTRACTOR and his Superintendent.
Qualification of Subcontractors, Materialmen and Suppliers:
2.10 Within ten working days after bid opening, the
CONTRACTOR will submit to the VILLAGE and the ENGINEER for
acceptance a list of the names of subcontractors and such
other persons and organizations (including those who are to
furnish principal items of materials or equipment) proposed
for those portions of the Work as to which the identity of the
Subcontractors and other persons and organizations must be
submitted as specified in the Contract Documents. Within
thirty working days after receiving the list, the ENGINEER
will notify the CONTRACTOR in writing if either the VILLAGE or
the ENGINEER, after due investigation, has reasonable
objection to any Subcontractor, person, or organization on
such list. The failure of the VILLAGE or the ENGINEER to make
objection to any Subcontractor, person or organization on the
list within thirty days of receipt shall constitute an
acceptance of such Subcontractor, person or organization.
Acceptance of any such Subcontractor, person or organization
shall not constitute a waiver of any right of the VILLAGE or
the ENGINEER to reject defective Work, material or equipment,
or work, material or equipment not in conformance with the
requirements of the Contract Documents.
2.11 If, prior to the Notice of Award, the VILLAGE or the
ENGINEER has reasonable objection to and refuses to accept any
Subcontractor, person or organization listed, the apparent low
Bidder may, prior to Notice of Award either (i) submit an
acceptable substitute without an increase in his bid price or
(ii) withdraw his Bid without forfeiting his Bid security.
ARTICLE 3 - CORRELATION, INTERPRETATION AND INTENT OF CONTRACT
DOCUMENTS
3.1 It is the intent of the Specifications and Drawings to
describe a complete Project to be constructed in accordance
with the Contract Documents. The Contract Documents comprise
the entire Agreement between the VILLAGE and the CONTRACTOR.
They may be altered only by a Modification.
3.2 The Contract Documents are complementary; what is called
for by one is as binding as if called for by all. If
CONTRACTOR finds a conflict, error or discrepancy in the
Contract Documents, he shall call it to the ENGINEER's
attention in writing at once and before proceeding with the
Work affected thereby; however, he shall not be liable to
VILLAGE or ENGINEER for his failure to discover any conflict,
error or discrepancy in the Specifications or Drawings. The
various Contract Documents shall be given precedence in case
of conflict, error or discrepancy, as follows: Supplemental
General Conditions, Agreement Modifications, Addenda, Special
Conditions, Instructions to Bidders, General Conditions,
Specifications and Drawings. If the requirements of other
Contract Documents are more stringent than those of the
Supplemental General Conditions, the more stringent
requirements shall apply.
3.3 The words "furnish" and "furnish and install", "install",
and "provide" or words with similar meaning shall be
interpreted, unless otherwise specifically stated, to mean
"furnish and install complete in place and ready for service".
3.4 Miscellaneous items and accessories which are not
specifically mentioned, but which are essential to produce a
complete and properly operating installation, or usable
structure or plant, providing the indicated function, shall be
furnished and installed without change in the Contract Price.
Such miscellaneous items and accessories shall be of the same
quality standards, including material, style, finish,
strength, class, weight and other applicable characteristics,
as specified for the major component of which the
miscellaneous item or accessory is an essential part, and
shall be approved by the ENGINEER before installation. The
above requirement is not intended to include major components
not covered by or inferable from the Drawings and
Specifications.
3.5 The Work of all trades under this Contract shall be
coordinated by the CONTRACTOR in such a manner as to obtain
the best workmanship possible for the entire Project, and
all components of the Work shall be installed or erected in
accordance with the best practices of the particular trade.
K-7
3.6 The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for making the
construction of habitable structures under this Contract
rainproof, and for making equipment and utility
installations properly perform the specified function.
If he is prevented from so doing by any limitations of the
Drawings or Specifications, the CONTRACTOR shall immediately
notify the ENGINEER in writing of such limitations before
proceeding with construction in the area where the problem o
limitation exists.
3.7 Manufacturer's literature, when referenced, shall be
dated and numbered and is intended to establish the minimum
requirements acceptable. Whenever reference is given to
codes, or standard specifications or other data published by
regulating agencies or accepted organizations, including but
not limited to National Electrical Code, applicable State
Building Code, Federal Specifications, ASTM Specifications,
various institute specifications, and the like, it shall be
understood that such reference is to the latest edition
including addenda in effect on the date of the Bid.
3.8 Brand names where used in the technical specifications,
are intended to denote the standard or quality required for
the particular material or product. The term "equal" or
"equivalent", when used in connection with brand names, shall
be interpreted to mean a material or product that is similar
and equal in type, quality, size, capacity, composition,
finish, color and other applicable characteristics to the
material or product specified by trade name, and that is
suitable for the same use and capable of performing the same
function, in the opinion of the ENGINEER, as the material or
product so specified. Proposed equivalent items must be
approved by ENGINEER before they are purchased or incorporated
in the Work. (When a brand name, catalog number, model
number, or other identification, is used without the phrase
"or equal", the CONTRACTOR shall use the brand specified).
ARTICLE 4 - AVAILABILITY OF LANDS:
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
REFERENCE POINTS
Availability of Lands:
4.3 The VILLAGE will furnish, as indicated in Contract
Documents, the lands upon which the Work is to be done,
rights -or -way for access thereto, and such other lands which
are designated for the use of the CONTRACTOR. Easements for
permanent structures or permanent changes in existing
facilities will be obtained and paid for by the VILLAGE,
unless otherwise specified in the Contract Documents. Other
access to such lands or rights -of -way for the CONTRACTOR'S
K-8
convenience shall be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR.
The CONTRACTOR will provide for all additional lands and
access thereto that may be required for temporary construction
facilities or storage of material and equipment.
4.2 The VILLAGE will, upon request, furnish to the BIDDERS
copies of all available boundary surveys and subsurface tests
at no cost.
Subsurface Conditions:
4.3 The CONTRACTOR acknowledges that he has investigated
prior to bidding and satisfied himself as to the conditions
affecting the Work, including but not restricted to those
bearing upon transportation, disposal, handling and storage of
materials, availability of labor, water, electric power,roads
and uncertainties of weather, river stages, tides, water
tables or similar physical conditions at the site, the
conformation and conditions of the ground, the character of
equipment and facilities needed preliminary to and during
prosecution of the Work. The CONTRACTOR further acknowledges
that he has satisfied himself as to the character, quality and
quantity of surface and subsurface materials or obstacles to
be encountered insofar as this information is reasonably
ascertainable from an inspection of the site, including all
exploratory work done by the VILLAGE/ENGINEER on the site or
any contiguous site, as well as from information presented by
the Drawings and Specifications made part of this Contract, or
any other information made available to him prior to receipt
of Bids. Any failure by the CONTRACTOR to acquaint himself
with the available information will not relieve him from
responsibility for estimating properly the difficulty or cost
of successfully performing the Work. The VILLAGE assumes no
responsibility for any conclusions or interpretations made
by the CONTRACTOR on the basis of the information made
available by the OWNER/ENGINEER.
Differing Site Conditions:
4.4 (a) The CONTRACTOR shall promptly, and before such
conditions are disturbed, notify the VILLAGE in writing, of:
(1) subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site
differing materially from those indicated in this contract, or
(2) unknown physical conditions at the site, of an unusual
nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered
and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character
provided for in this contract. The VILLAGE shall promptly
investigate the conditions, and if he finds that such
conditions do materially so differ and cause an increase or
decrease in the Contractor's cost of, or the time required
for, performance of any part of the work under this contract,
K-9
whether or not changed as a result of such conditions, an
equitable adjustment shall be made and the contract modified
in writing accordingly.
(b) No claim of the CONTRACTOR under this clause shall be
allowed unless the CONTRACTOR has given the notice required
in (a) above; provided, however, the time prescribed therefore
may be extended by the OWNER.
(c) No claim by the CONTRACTOR for an equitable adjustment
hereunder shall be allowed if asserted after final payment
under this contract.
ARTICLE 5 - INSURANCE
Contractor's Liability Insurance:
5.1 The CONTRACTOR will, at his own expense, purchase and maintain
such insurance as will protect the VILLAGE and the CONTRACTOR from
claims under Workmen's Compensation laws, disability benefit laws
or other similar employee benefits laws; from claims for damages
because of bodily injury, occupational sickness or disease, or
death of his employees, and claims insured by usual personal injury
liability coverage; from claims for damages because of bodily
injury, sickness or disease or death of any person other than his
employees including claims insured by usual personal bodily injury
liability coverage; and from claims for injury to or destruction
of tangible property, including loss of use resulting therefrom -
any or all of which may arise out of or result from the
Contractor's operations under the Contract Documents whether such
operations be by any Subcontractor or anyone directly or indirectly
employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be
legally liable. This insurance shall be written as defined in
Section B-8. Before starting the work, the CONTRACTOR will file
with the VILLAGE and ENGINEER certificates of such insurance,
acceptable to the OWNER; these certificates shall contain a
provision that the coverage afforded under the policies will not
be cancelled or materially changed until at least 30 days prior
written notice has been given to the VILLAGE and ENGINEER by
certified mail. The certificate of insurance shall show the amount
of employee's liability coverage that is being carried by the
CONTRACTOR under Workmen's Compensation.
5.2 The CONTRACTOR agrees that if any part of the Work under the
Contract is sublet, he will require the Subcontractor (s) to carry
insurance as required, and that he will require the
K-10
Subcontractor(s) to furnish to him insurance certificates
similar to those required by the VILLAGE in 5.1 above.
Owner's Liability Insurance:
5.3 The VILLAGE will be responsible for purchasing and
maintaining his own liability insurance and, at his option,
may purchase and maintain such insurance as will protect him
against claims which may arise from operations under the
Contract Documents.

constituting a part of said buildings or structures. The
policy or policies shall also cover machinery, if the cost of
machinery is included in the Contract. The amount of
insurance must at all times be at least equal to the actual
cash value of the insured property.
The policy shall be in the name of the VILLAGE and the
CONTRACTOR, as their interests may appear, and shall also
cover the interests of all Subcontractors performing work.
5.5 The CONTRACTOR shall provide the VILLAGE with
satisfactory evidence certifying that the foregoing insurance
is in force; and such evidence shall include provisions that
the insurance shall not be cancelled, allowed to expire or be
materially changed without giving the VILLAGE advance notice
by registered mail.
Cancellation and Re -Insurance:
5.6 If any insurance should be cancelled or changed by the
insurance company or should any insurance expire during the
period of this contract, the CONTRACTOR shall be responsible
for securing other acceptable insurance to provide the
coverage specified in this section to maintain coverage during
the life of this Contract.
ARTICLE 6 - CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
Supervision and Superintendence:
6.1 The CONTRACTOR will supervise and direct the Work. He
will be solely responsible for the means, methods, techniques,
sequences and procedures of construction. The CONTRACTOR will
employ and maintain a qualified supervisor or superintendent
at the work site who shall have been designated in writing by
the CONTRACTOR as the CONTRACTOR'S representative at the site.
The supervisor shall have full authority to act on behalf of
the CONTRACTOR and all communications given to the supervisor
shall be as binding as if given to the CONTRACTOR. The
supervisors shall be present on each site at all times as
required to perform adequate supervision and coordination of
the work. (Copies of written communications given to the
Superintendent shall be mailed to the Contractor's home
office).
Labor, Materials and Equipment:
6.2 The CONTRACTOR will provide competent, suitably qualified
personnel to lay out the Work and perform construction as
required by the Contract Documents. He will at all times
maintain good discipline and order at the site.
6.3 The CONTRACTOR will furnish all materials, equipment,
labor, transportation, construction equipment and machinery,
tools, appliances, fuel, power, light, heat, local telephone,
water and sanitary facilities and all other facilities and
incidentals necessary for the execution, testing, initial
operation and completion of the Work.
6.4 All materials and equipment will be new, except as
otherwise provided in the Contract Documents. When special
makes or grades of material which are normally packaged by the
supplier or manufacturer are specified or approved, such
materials shall be delivered to the site in their original
packages or container with seals unbroken and labels intact.
6.5 All materials and equipment shall be applied, installed,
connected, erected, used, cleaned and conditioned in
accordance with the instructions of the applicable
manufacturer, fabricator or processors, except as otherwise
provided in the Contract Documents.
Materials, Equipment. Products and Substitutions:
6.6 Materials, equipment and products incorporated in the
work must be approved for use before being purchased by the
CONTRACTOR. The CONTRACTOR shall submit to the ENGINEER a
list of proposed materials, equipment or products, together
with such samples as may be necessary for him to determine
their acceptability and obtain his approval, within ninety
calendar days after award of Contract unless otherwise
stipulated in the Special Conditions. No request for payment
for "or equal" equipment will be approved until this list has
been received and approved by the ENGINEER.
K-12
6.6.1 Whenever a material, article or piece of equipment
is identified on the Drawings or Specifications by
reference to brand name or catalog number, it shall be
understood that this is referenced for the purpose of
defining the performance of other salient requirements,
and that other products of equal capacities, quality and
function shall be considered. The CONTRACTOR may
recommend the substitution of a material, article, or
piece of equipment of equal substance and function for
those referred to in the Contract Documents by reference
to brand name or catalog number, and if, in the opinion
of the ENGINEER, such material, article, or piece of
equipment is of equal substance and function to that
specified, the ENGINEER may approve its substitution and
use by the CONTRACTOR. Incidental changes or extra
component parts required to accommodate the substitute
will be made by the CONTRACTOR without a change in the
Contract Price or Contract time.
6.6.2 No substitute shall be ordered or installed
without the written approval of the ENGINEER who shall be
the judge of equality.
6.6.3 Delay caused by obtaining approvals for substitute
materials will not be considered justifiable grounds for
an extension of construction time.
6.6.4 Should any work or materials, equipment or
products not conform with requirements of the Drawings
and Specifications or become damaged during the progress
of the Work, such Work or materials shall be removed and
replaced, together with any Work disarranged by such
alterations, at any time before completion and acceptance
of the Project. All such work shall be done at the
expense of the CONTRACTOR. See paragraph 7.10.
6.6.5 No materials or supplies for the Work shall be
purchased by the CONTRACTOR or by any Subcontractor
subject to any chattel mortgage or under a conditional
sale or other agreement by which an interest is retained
by the Seller. The CONTRACTOR warrants that he has good
title to all materials and supplies used by him in the
Work.
Concerning Subcontractors:
6.7 The CONTRACTOR will not employ any subcontractor, other
person or organization of the types referred to in paragraph
2.10 (whether initially or as a substitute) against whom the
VILLAGE or the ENGINEER may have reasonable objection, nor
will the CONTRACTOR be required to employ any Subcontractor
who has been accepted by the VILLAGE and the ENGINEER, unless
K-13
the ENGINEER determines that there is good cause for doing so.
6.8 The CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible for all acts
and omissions of his Subcontractors and of persons and
organizations directly or indirectly employed by them and of
persons and organizations for whose acts any of them may be
liable to the same extent that he is responsible for the acts
and omissions of persons directly employed by him. Nothing in
the Contract Documents shall create any contractual
relationship between VILLAGE or ENGINEER and any Subcontractor
or other person or organization having a direct contract with
CONTRACTOR, nor shall it create any obligation on the part of
VILLAGE or ENGINEER to pay or to see to the payment of any
persons due any Subcontractor or other person or organization,
except as may otherwise be required by law. VILLAGE or
ENGINEER may furnish to any Subcontractor or other person or
organization, to the extent practicable, evidence of amounts
paid to CONTRACTOR on account of specific Work done in
accordance with the schedule of values.
6.9 The divisions and sections of the Specifications and the
identifications of any Drawings shall not control the
CONTRACTOR in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or
delineating the Work to be performed by any specific trade.
6.10 The CONTRACTOR agrees to bind specifically every
Subcontractor to the applicable terms and conditions of the
Contract Documents for the benefit of the VILLAGE.
6.11 All Work performed for the CONTRACTOR by a Subcontractor
shall be pursuant to an appropriate agreement between the
CONTRACTOR and the Subcontractor.
6.12 The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the coordination
of the trades, Subcontractors and materialmen engaged upon his
Work.
6.12.1 The CONTRACTOR shall cause appropriate provisions
to be inserted in all subcontracts relative to the Work
to bind Subcontractors to the CONTRACTOR by the terms of
these General Conditions and other Contract Documents
insofar as applicable to the Work of Subcontractors, and
give the CONTRACTOR the same power as regards to
terminating any subcontract that the VILLAGE may exercise
over the CONTRACTOR under any provisions of the Contract
Documents.
6.12.2 The VILLAGE or ENGINEER will not undertake to
settle any differences between the CONTRACTOR and his
Subcontractors or between Subcontractors.
K-14
6.12.3 If in the opinion of the ENGINEER, any
subcontractor on the Project proves to be incompetent or
otherwise unsatisfactory, he shall be replaced if and
when directed by the ENGINEER in writing.
Patent Fees and Royalties:
6.13 The CONTRACTOR will pay all license fees and royalties
and assume all costs incident to the use of any invention,
design, process or device which is the subject of patent
rights or copyrights held by others. He will indemnify and
hold harmless the VILLAGE and the ENGINEER and anyone directly
or indirectly employed by either of them from and against all
claims, damages, losses and expenses (including attorneys'
fees) arising out of any infringement of such rights during or
after completion of the Work, and shall defend all such claims
in connection with any alleged infringement of such rights.
6.14 The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for determining the
application of patent rights and royalties on materials,
appliances, articles or systems prior to bidding. However, he
shall not be responsible for such determination on
systems which do not involve purchase by him of materials,
appliances and articles.
Permits
6.15 The CONTRACTOR will secure and pay for all construction
permits and licenses and will pay for all governmental charges
and inspection fees necessary for the prosecution of the Work,
which are applicable at the time of his Bid.
When such charges are normally made by the VILLAGE and when so
stated in the SPECIAL CONDITIONS, there will be no charges to
the CONTRACTOR. The VILLAGE shall assist the CONTRACTOR, when
necessary, in obtaining such permits and licenses. The
CONTRACTOR will also pay all public utility charges.

laws, ordinances, rules and regulations applicable to the
Work. If the CONTRACTOR observes that the Specifications or
Drawings are at variance therewith, he will give the ENGINEER
prompt written notice thereof, and any necessary changes shall
be adjusted by an appropriate modification. If the CONTRACTOR
performs any Work knowing it to be contrary to such laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations, and without such notice to
the ENGINEER, he will bear all costs arising therefrom;
however, it shall not be his primary responsibility to make
certain that the Drawings and Specifications are in accordance
with such laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.

the ENGINEER or VILLAGE, is obligated to act, at his
discretion, to prevent threatened damage, injury or loss. He
will give the ENGINEER prompt written notice of any
significant changes in the Work or deviations from the
Contract Documents caused thereby, and a Change Order shall
thereupon be issued covering the changes and deviations
involved. If the CONTRACTOR believes that additional work
done by him in an emergency which arose from causes beyond his
control entitles him to an increase in the Contract Price or
an extension of the Contract Time, he may make a claim
therefore as provided in Articles 11 and 12.
Shop Drawings and Samples:
6.23 After checking and verifying all field measurements,
the CONTRACTOR will submit to the ENGINEER for review, in
accordance with the accepted schedule of shop drawing
submissions (see paragraph 2.8) six copies (or at the
ENGINEER'S option, one reproducible copy) of all Shop
Drawings, which shall have been checked by and stamped with
the approval of the CONTRACTOR and identified as the
ENGINEER may require. The data shown on the Shop Drawings
will be complete with respect to dimensions, design
criteria, materials of construction and the like to enable
the ENGINEER to review the information as required.

review, with such promptness as to cause no delay in Work,
all samples required by the Contract Documents.
All samples will have been checked by and stamped with the
approval of the CONTRACTOR, identified clearly as to material,
manufacturer, any pertinent catalog numbers and the use for
which intended.
6.25 At the time of each submission, the CONTRACTOR will in
writing call the ENGINEER'S attention to any deviations that
the Shop Drawings or sample may have from the requirements 6

K-17
6.26 The ENGINEER will review with responsible promptness
Shop Drawings and samples, but his review shall be only for
conformance with the design concept of the Project and for
compliance with the information given in the Contract
Documents. The review of a separate item as such will not
indicate review of the assembly in which the item functions.
The CONTRACTOR will make any corrections required by the
ENGINEER and will return the required number of corrected
copies of Shop Drawings and resubmit new samples until the
review is satisfactory to the ENGINEER. The CONTRACTOR
shall direct specific attention in writing or on resubmitted
Shop drawings to revisions other than the corrections called
for by the ENGINEER on previous submissions. The
CONTRACTOR'S stamp of approval on any Shop Drawing or sample
shall constitute representation to the VILLAGE and the
ENGINEER that the CONTRACTOR has either determined and
verified all quantities, dimensions, field construction
criteria, materials, catalog numbers and similar data or he
assumes full responsibility for doing so, and that he has
reviewed or coordinated each Shop Drawing or sample with the
requirements of the Work and the Contract Documents.
6.27 No work requiring a Shop Drawing or sample submission
shall be commenced until the submission has been reviewed by
the ENGINEER. A copy of each Shop Drawing and each approved
sample shall be kept in good order by the CONTRACTOR at the
site and shall be available to the ENGINEER.
6.28 The ENGINEER'S review of Shop Drawings or samples
shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR from his responsibility for
any deviations from the requirements of the Contract Documents
unless the CONTRACTOR has in writing called the ENGINEER'S
attention to each deviation at the time of submission and the
ENGINEER has given written approval to the specific deviation,
nor shall any review by the ENGINEER relieve the CONTRACTOR
from responsibility for errors or omissions in the Shop
Drawings.

all returns from sale of surplus materials and equipment
shall accrue to VILLAGE, and CONTRACTOR shall make
provisions so that they may be obtained.

for Work performed by Subcontractors. If required by
VILLAGE, CONTRACTOR shall obtain competitive bids from
Subcontractors acceptable to him and shall deliver such
bids to VILLAGE who will then determine with the advice
of ENGINEER, which Bids will be accepted. If a subcon-
tract provides that the Subcontractor is to be paid on
the basis of Cost of Work plus a fee, the cost of the

employed by any of them or for whose acts any of
them may be liable. Such losses shall include
settlements made with the written consent and
approval of VILLAGE. No such losses, damages and
expenses shall be included in the Cost of the Work
for the purpose of determining CONTRACTOR'S

personnel employed by CONTRACTOR whether at the site or
in his principal or a branch office for general
administration of the Work and not specifically included
in the schedule referred to in subparagraph 11.4.1 - all

estimate of the various portions of the Cost of the Work.
11.7 The amount of credit to be allowed by CONTRACTOR to
VILLAGE for any such change which results in a net decrease in
cost, will be the amount of the actual net decrease. When
both additions and credits are involved in any one change, the
net shall be computed to include overhead and profit,
identified separately, for both additions and credits.
11.8 Whenever cost of any Work is to be determined pursuant
to paragraphs 11.4 and 11.5, CONTRACTOR will submit in form
prescribed by ENGINEER an itemized cost breakdown together
with supporting data.
11.9 Allowances: It is understood that the CONTRACTOR has
included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the
Contract Documents and shall cause the Work so covered to be
done by such materialmen, suppliers or Subcontractors and for
such sums within the limit of the allowances as the ENGINEER
may approve. Upon final payment, the Contract Price shall be
adjusted as required and an appropriate Change Order issued.
The CONTRACTOR agrees that the original Contract Price
includes such sums as he deems proper for costs and profit on
account of cash allowances. No demand for additional cost or
profit in connection therewith will be allowed.

CONTRACTOR, less any applicable trade discount, of the
materials and equipment required by the allowance
delivered at the site, and all applicable taxes.
11.9.2 The CONTRACTOR'S costs for unloading and handling
on the site, labor, installation costs, overhead, profit
and other expenses contemplated for the original

above, is more than or less than the allowance, the
Contract Price shall be adjusted accordingly by Change
Order. The amount of the Change Order will recognize
changes, if any, in handling costs on the site, labor,
installation costs, overhead, profit and other expenses,
except that whenever unit price allowances are stipulated
for Work, the Change Order will not include any cost as
described in 11.5 above.
ARTICLE 12 - TIME FOR COMPLETION, LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND CHANGE OF
THE CONTRACT TIME
12.1 The date of beginning and the time for completion of the
work are essential conditions of the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS and
the Work embraced shall be commenced on a date specified in
the NOTICE TO PROCEED.
12.2 The CONTRACTOR will proceed with the Work at such rate
of progress to insure full completion within the CONTRACT
TIME. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between
the CONTRACTOR and the VILLAGE, that the CONTRACT TIME for the
completion of the Work described herein is a reasonable time,
taking into consideration the average climatic and economic
conditions and other factors prevailing in the locality of the
WORK.
12.3 If the CONTRACTOR shall fail to complete the Work within
the CONTRACT TIME, or extension of time granted by the
VILLAGE, then the CONTRACTOR will pay to the VILLAGE the
amount for liquidated damages as specified in the BID for
each calendar day that the CONTRACTOR shall be default after
the time stipulated in the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS.
12.4 The contract time may only be changed by a Change Order.
Any claim for an extension in the CONTRACT TIME shall be based
on written notice delivered to the VILLAGE and ENGINEER within
ten days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the
claim.
Notice of the extent of the claim with supporting data shall
be delivered within forty-five days of such occurrence unless
ENGINEER allows an additional period of time to ascertain more
accurate data. All claims for adjustment in the CONTRACT TIME
shall be determined by ENGINEER if VILLAGE and CONTRACT TIME
resulting from any such claim shall be incorporated in a
Change Order.
12.5 The Contract Time will be extended in an amount equal
to time lost due to delays beyond the control of CONTRACTOR
if he makes a claim therefore as provided in paragraph 12.4.
Such delays shall include but not be restricted to, acts or
neglect by any separate contractor employed by VILLAGE, fires,
floods, labor disputes, epidemics, abnormal weather
conditions, acts of God, or difficulty in locating source for
specified plant material.
12.6 All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of
The essence of the Agreement. The provisions of this Article
12 shall not exclude recovery for damages (including
compensation for additional professional services) for delay
by either party.
R-35
12.7 No claim for delay shall be allowed because of failure
to furnish Drawings until two weeks after demand for such
Drawings and not then unless such claim be reasonable.
12.8 This article does not exclude the recovery of damages
for delay by either party under other provisions in the
Contract Documents.
12.9 No claim for extension of time will be considered because
of unusual weather conditions, and no reparation shall be made
to the CONTRACTOR for damages to the work resulting therefrom
except as stipulated in paragraph 15.2 and as follows. The
ENGINEER shall be responsible for determining the extent of
extension of time, and shall notify the VILLAGE and CONTRACTOR
in writing thereof within seven days after CONTRACTOR has been
notified to resume work. Such extension shall be covered by
a Change Order adjusting the Contract Time.
ARTICLE 13 - GUARANTEE
13.1 The CONTRACTOR shall guarantee all materials and
equipment furnished and Work performed for a period of one
hundred eighty days (180) from the date of FINAL ACCEPTANCE
of the system that the completed system is free from all
defects due to faulty materials or workmanship and the
CONTRACTOR shall promptly make such corrections as may be
necessary by reason of such defects including the repairs of
any damage to other parts of the system resulting from such
defects. The VILLAGE will give notice of observed defects
with reasonable promptness. In the event that the CONTRACTOR
should fail to make such repairs, adjustments, or the Work
that may be made necessary by such defects, the VILLAGE
may do so and charge the CONTRACTOR the cost thereby incurred.
The performance BOND shall remain in full force and effect
through the guarantee period.
ARTICLE 14 - PAYMENTS AND COMPLETION
Payments to Contractor
14.1 At least ten (10) days before each progress payment
falls due (but not more often than once a month), the
CONTRACTOR will submit to the ENGINEER a partial payment
estimate filled out and signed by the CONTRACTOR covering the
WORK performed during the period covered by the partial
payment estimate and supported by such data as the ENGINEER
may reasonably require.
K-36
If payment is requested on the basis of materials and
equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and
suitably stored at or near site, the partial payment estimate
shall also be accompanied by such supporting data,
satisfactory to the VILLAGE, as will establish the VILLAGE'S
title to the material and equipment and protect his interest
therein, including applicable insurance. The CONTRACTOR shall
replace at his expense any stored materials paid for which are
either damaged or stolen before installation. The ENGINEER
will, within ten (10) days after receipt of each partial
payment estimate, either indicate in writing his approval of
payment and present the partial payment estimate to the
VILLAGE, or return the partial payment estimate to the
CONTRACTOR indicating in writing his reasons for refusing to
approve payment. In the latter case, the CONTRACTOR may make
the necessary corrections and resubmit the partial payment
estimate. The VILLAGE, will within thirty (30) days of
presentation to him of any approved partial payment estimate,
pay the CONTRACTOR a progress payment on the basis of the
approved partial payment estimate. Except as State law
otherwise provides, the VILLAGE may retain ten (10) percent of
the amount of each payment until final completion and
acceptance of all work covered by the Contract Documents. The
VILLAGE at any time, however, after fifty (50) percent of the
Work has been completed, if he finds that satisfactory
progress is being made, may reduce retainage on the current
and remaining estimates upon recommendation by the ENGINEER.
When the work is substantially complete (operational or
beneficial occupancy), the retained amount may be further
reduced to only that amount necessary to assure completion
upon recommendation by the ENGINEER. On completion and
acceptance of a part of the Work on which the price is stated
separately in the Contract Documents, payment may be made in
full, including retained percentages, less authorized
deductions. The VILLAGE may reinstate up to 10 percent
withholding if the VILLAGE determines, at its discretion, that
the CONTRACTOR is not making satisfactory progress or there is
other specific cause for such withholding.
14.2 The VILLAGE shall have the right to demand and receive
from the CONTRACTOR, before he shall receive final payment,
final releases of lien executed by all persons, firms or
corporations who have performed or furnished labor, services
or materials, directly or indirectly, used in the Work.
Likewise, as a condition to receiving any progress payment,
the VILLAGE may require the CONTRACTOR to furnish partial
releases of lien executed by all persons, firms and
corporations who have furnished labor, services or materials
incorporated into the Work during the period of time for which
the progress payment is due, releasing such lien rights as
those persons, firms or corporations may have for that period.
K-37
Contractor's Warranty of Title
14.3 The CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all
Work, materials and equipment covered by an Application for
Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will have
passed to the VILLAGE prior to the making of the Application
for Payment, free and clear of all liens, claims, security
interests and encumbrances (hereafter in these General
Conditions referred to as "Liens"); and that no work,
materials or equipment covered by an Application for Payment
will have been acquired by the CONTRACTOR or by any other
person performing the Work at the site or furnishing materials
and equipment for the Project, subject to an agreement under
which an interest therein or encumbrance thereon is retained
by the seller or otherwise imposed by the CONTRACTOR or such
other person.
Approval of Payment
14.4 The ENGINEER will, within ten days after receipt of each
Application for Payment, either indicate in writing his
approval of payment and present the Application to the
VILLAGE, or return the Application to the CONTRACTOR
indicating in writing his reasons for refusing to approve
payment. In the latter case, the CONTRACTOR may make
necessary corrections and resubmit the application. The
VILLAGE will, within thirty days of presentation to him of an
approved Application for Payment, pay the CONTRACTOR the
amount approved by the ENGINEER.
14.5 The ENGINEER'S approval of any payment requested in an
Application for Payment shall constitute a representation by
him to the VILLAGE, based on the ENGINEER'S on -site
observations of the Work in progress as an experienced and
qualified design professional and on his review of the
Application for Payment and the supporting data, that the Work
has progressed to the point indicated; that, to the best of
his knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the Work
is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an
evaluation of the Work as a functioning Project upon
substantial completion, to the results of any subsequent tests
called for in the Contract Documents and any qualifications
stated in his approval); and that the CONTRACTOR is entitled
to payment of the amount approved. However, by approving any
such payment the ENGINEER shall not thereby be deemed to have
represented that he made exhaustive or continuous on -site
observations to check the quality or the quantity of the Work,
or that he has reviewed the means, methods, techniques,
sequences and procedures of construction or that he has made
any examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the
CONTRACTOR has used the moneys paid or to be paid to him on
account of the Contract Price, or that title to any Work,
K-38
materials, or equipment has passed to the VILLAGE free and
clear of any liens.
14.6 The CONTRACTOR shall make the following certification on
each request for payment:
"I hereby certify that the labor and materials listed on this
request for payment have been used in the construction of this
work or that all materials included in this request for
payment and not yet incorporated into the construction
are now on the site or stored at an approved location; and
payment received from the last request for payment has been
used to make payments to all first tier subcontractors and
suppliers except as listed below".
14.7 The ENGINEER'S approval of final payment shall
constitute an additional representation by him to the VILLAGE
that the conditions precedent to the CONTRACTOR'S being
entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13 have
been fulfilled.
14.8 The ENGINEER may refuse to approve the whole or any part
of any payment if, in his opinion, he is unable to make such
representations to the VILLAGE. He may also refuse to approve
any such payment, or because of subsequently discovered
evidence or the results of subsequent inspection or tests,
nullify any such payment previously approved, to such extent
as may be necessary in his opinion to protect the VILLAGE from
loss because:
14.8.1 The Work is defective, or completed Work has been
damaged requiring correction or replacement,
14.8.2 The Work for which payment is requested cannot
be verified,
14.8.3 Claims or Liens have been filed or there is
reasonable evidence indicating the probable filing
thereof,
14.8.4 The Contract Price has been reduced because of
modifications,
14.8.5 The VILLAGE has been required to correct
defective Work or complete the Work in accordance with
Article 13.
14.8.6 Of unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work,
including failure to clean up as required by paragraphs
6.29 and 6.30,
K-39
14.8.7 Of persistent failure to cooperate with other
contractors on the Project and persistent failure to
carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents,
14.8.8 Of liquidated damages payable by the
CONTRACTOR, or
14.8.9 Of any other violation of, or failure to
comply with provisions of the Contract Documents.
14.9 Prior to FINAL ACCEPTANCE the VILLAGE, with the
approval of the ENGINEER and with the concurrence of the
CONTRACTOR, may use any completed or substantially
completed portions of the Work. Such use shall not
constitute an acceptance of such portions of the Work.
14.10 The VILLAGE shall have the right to enter the
premises for the purpose of doing work not covered by the
Contract Documents. This provision shall not be
construed as relieving the CONTRACTOR of the sole
responsibility for the care and protection of the Work,
or the restoration of any damaged Work except such as may
be caused by agents or employees of the OWNER.
14.11 Upon completion and acceptance of the Work the
ENGINEER shall issue a certificate attached to the final
payment request that the Work has been accepted by him
under the conditions of the Contract Documents. The
entire balance found to be due the CONTRACTOR, including
the retained percentages, but except such sums as may be
lawfully retained by the VILLAGE, shall be paid to the
CONTRACTOR within thirty (30) days of completion and
acceptance of the Work.
14.12 The CONTRACTOR will indemnify and save the
VILLAGE or the VILLAGE'S agents harmless from all claims
growing out of the lawful demands of Subcontractors,
laborers, workmen, mechanics, materialman, and furnishers
of machinery and parts thereof, equipment, tools, and all
supplies, incurred in the furtherance of the performance
of the Work. The CONTRACTOR shall, as the VILLAGE's
request, furnish satisfactory evidence that all
obligations of the nature designated above have been
paid, discharged, or waived. If the CONTRACTOR fails to
do so the VILLAGE may, after having notified the
CONTRACTOR, either pay unpaid bills or withhold from the
CONTRACTOR'S unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed
reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful
claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all
liabilities have been fully discharged whereupon payment
to the CONTRACTOR shall be resumed, in accordance with
the terms of the Contract Documents, but in no event
shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to
K-40
impose any obligations upon the VILLAGE to either the
CONTRACTOR, his Surety, or any third party. In paying unpaid
bills of the CONTRACTOR, any payment so made by the VILLAGE
shall be considered as a payment made under the Contract
Documents by the VILLAGE to the CONTRACTOR and the VILLAGE
shall not be liable to the CONTRACTOR for any such payments
made in good faith.
Acceptance of Final Payment as Release
14.13 The acceptance by the CONTRACTOR of final payment shall
be and shall operate as a release to the VILLAGE of all claims
and all liability to the CONTRACTOR other than claims in
stated amounts as may be specifically excepted by the
CONTRACTOR for all things done or furnished in connection with
this Work and for every act and neglect of the VILLAGE and
others relating to or arising out of this Work. Any payment,
however, final or otherwise, shall not release the CONTRACTOR
or his sureties from any obligations under the Contract
Documents or the Performance Bond and Payment Bonds.
ARTICLE 15 - SUSPENSION OF WORK AND TERMINATION Owner May Suspend
Work
15.1 The VILLAGE may, at any time and without cause, suspend
the Work or any portion thereof for a period of not more than
ninety days by notice in writing to the CONTRACTOR and the
ENGINEER which shall fix the date on which Work shall be
resumed. The CONTRACTOR will resume the Work on the date so
fixed. The CONTRACTOR will be allowed an increase in the
Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time, or both,
directly attributable to any suspension if he makes a claim
therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12.
Work During Inclement Weather
15.2 No work shall be done under these specifications except
by permission of the ENGINEER when the weather is unfit for
good and careful work to be performed. Should the severity of
the weather continue, the CONTRACTOR, upon the direction of
the ENGINEER, shall suspend all work until instructed to
resume operations by the ENGINEER and the Contract Time shall
be extended to cover the duration of the order. Work damaged
during periods of suspension due to inclement weather shall be
repaired and/or replaced by the CONTRACTOR. Any compensation
for repairs or replacements shall be subject to approval of
the VILLAGE.
Owner May Terminate
15.3 If the CONTRACTOR is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or
if he makes a general assignment for the benefit of his
K-41
creditors, or if a trustee or receiver is appointed for the
CONTRACTOR or for any of his property, or if he files a
petition to take advantage of any debtor's act, or to
reorganize under the bankruptcy or similar laws, or if he
repeatedly fails to supply sufficient skilled workmen or
suitable materials or equipment, or if he repeatedly fails to
make prompt payments to Subcontractors or for labor, materials
or equipment or he disregards laws, ordinances, rules,
regulations or orders of any public body having jurisdiction,
or if he disregards the authority of the ENGINEER, or if he
otherwise violates any provision of, the Contract Documents,
then the VILLAGE may, without prejudice to any other right or
remedy and after giving the CONTRACTOR and his surety seven
days' written notice, terminate the services of the CONTRACTOR
and take possession of the Project and of all materials,
equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery thereon
owned by the CONTRACTOR, and finish the Work by whatever
method he may deem expedient. In such case the CONTRACTOR
shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the
Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price
exceeds the direct and indirect costs of completing the
Project, including compensation for additional professional
services, such excess shall be paid to the CONTRACTOR. If
such costs exceed such unpaid balance, the CONTRACTOR will pay
the difference to the VILLAGE. Such costs incurred by the
VILLAGE will be determined by the ENGINEER and incorporated in
a Change Order.
15.4 Where the CONTRACTOR'S services have been so terminated
by the VILLAGE, said terminations shall not affect any rights
of the VILLAGE against the CONTRACTOR then existing or which
may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of moneys by
the VILLAGE due the CONTRACTOR will not release the CONTRACTOR
from liability.
15.5 Upon seven days' written notice to the CONTRACTOR and
the ENGINEER, the VILLAGE may, without cause and without
prejudice to any other right or remedy, elect to abandon the
Project and terminate the Agreement. In such case, the
CONTRACTOR shall be paid for all Work executed and any expense
sustained plus a reasonable profit.
Removal of Equipment
15.6 In the case of termination of this Contract before
completion for any cause whatever, the CONTRACTOR, if notified
to do so by the VILLAGE, shall promptly remove any part or all
of his equipment and supplies from the property of the
VILLAGE. Should the CONTRACTOR not remove such equipment and
supplies, the VILLAGE shall have the right to remove them at
the expense of the CONTRACTOR. Equipment and supplies shall
not be construed to include such items for which the
K-42
CONTRACTOR has been paid in whole or in part.
Contractor May Stop Work or Terminate
15.7 If, through no act or fault of the CONTRACTOR, the Work
is suspended for a period of more than ninety days by the
VILLAGE or under an order of court or other public authority,
or the ENGINEER fails to act on any Application for Payment
within thirty days after it is submitted, or the VILLAGE fails
to pay the CONTRACTOR any sum approved by the ENGINEER, within
thirty days of its approval and presentation, then the
CONTRACTOR may, upon seven days' written notice to the VILLAGE
and the ENGINEER, terminate the Agreement and recover from the
VILLAGE payment for all Work executed and any expense
sustained plus a reasonable profit. In addition and in lieu
of terminating the Agreement, if the ENGINEER has failed to
act on an Application for Payment or the VILLAGE has failed to
make any payment as aforesaid, the CONTRACTOR may upon seven
days' notice to the VILLAGE and the ENGINEER stop the Work
until he has been paid all amounts then due.
Owner furnished Equipment
15.8 In case the VILLAGE furnishes equipment to the
CONTRACTOR to install, but fails to deliver it to the
CONTRACTOR as required by SUPPLEMENTARY CONDITIONS or SPECIAL
CONDITIONS, and in case such failure causes the CONTRACTOR
additional expense or need for extension of time, the
CONTRACTOR may make such claims upon the VILLAGE and obtain
adjustments as provided herein.
ARTICLE 16 - MISCELLANEOUS
16.1 Whenever any provision of the Contract Documents
requires the giving of written notice it shall be deemed to
have been validly given 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 or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the
last business address known to him who gives the notice.
16.2 All Specifications, Drawings and copies thereof
furnished by the ENGINEER shall remain his property. They
shall not be used on another Project, and with the exception
of those sets which have been signed in connection with the
execution of the Agreement, shall be returned to him on
request upon completion of the Project.
16.3 The duties and obligations imposed by these General
Conditions, Special Conditions and Supplemental Conditions and
the rights and remedies available hereunder, and, in
particular but without limitation, the warranties, guarantees
K-43
and obligations imposed upon CONTRACTOR by paragraphs
6.36 and 14.3 and those in the Special Conditions and the
rights and remedies available to the VILLAGE and ENGINEER
thereunder, shall be in addition to, and shall not be
construed in any way as a limitation of, any rights and
remedies available by law, by special guarantee or by
other provisions of the Contract Documents.
16.4 Should the VILLAGE or the CONTRACTOR suffer injury
or damage to its person or property because of any error,
omission, or act of the other or of any of his employees
or agents or others for whose acts he is legally liable,
claim shall be made in writing to the other party within
a reasonable time of the first observance of such in jury
or damage.
