§ 3.2.2 Because the Contract Documents are complementary, the Contractor shall, before starting each portion of the
<br />Work, carefully study and compare the various Contract Documents relative to that portion of the Work, as well as
<br />the information furnished by the Owner pursuant to Section 2.2.3, shall take field measurements of any existing
<br />conditions related to that portion of the Work, and shall observe any conditions at the site affecting it. These
<br />obligations are for the purpose of facilitating coordination and construction by the Contractor and are not for the
<br />purpose of discovering errors, omissions, or inconsistencies in the Contract Documents; however, the Contractor
<br />shall promptly report to the Architect any errors, inconsistencies or omissions discovered by or made known to the
<br />Contractor as a request for information in such form as the Architect may require. It is recognized that the
<br />Contractor's review is made in the Contractor's capacity as a contractor and not as a licensed design professional,
<br />unless otherwise specifically provided in the Contract Documents.
<br />§ 3.2.3 The Contractor is not required to ascertain that the Contract Documents are in accordance with applicable
<br />laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, or lawful orders of public authorities, but the Contractor
<br />shall promptly report to the Architect any nonconformity discovered by or made known to the Contractor as a
<br />request for information in such form as the Architect may require.
<br />§ 3.2.4 If the Contractor believes that additional cost or time is involved because of clarifications or instructions the
<br />Architect issues in response to the Contractor's notices or requests for information pursuant to Sections 3.2.2 or
<br />3.2.3, the Contractor shall make Claims as provided in Article 15. If the Contractor fails to perform the obligations
<br />of Sections 3.2.2 or 3.2.3, the Contractor shall pay such costs and damages to the Owner as would have been
<br />avoided if the Contractor had performed such obligations. If the Contractor performs those obligations, the
<br />Contractor shall not be liable to the Owner or Architect for damages resulting from errors, inconsistencies or
<br />omissions in the Contract Documents, for differences between field measurements or conditions and the Contract
<br />Documents, or for nonconformities of the Contract Documents to applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules
<br />and regulations, and lawful orders of public authorities.
<br />§ 3.3 SUPERVISION AND CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES
<br />§ 3.3.1 The Contractor shall supervise and direct the Work, using the Contractor's best skill and attention. The
<br />Contractor shall be solely responsible for, and have control over, construction means, methods, techniques,
<br />sequences and procedures and for coordinating all portions of the Work under the Contract, unless the Contract
<br />Documents give other specific instructions concerning these matters. If the Contract Documents give specific
<br />instructions concerning construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, the Contractor shall
<br />evaluate the jobsite safety thereof and, except as stated below, shall be fully and solely responsible for the jobsite
<br />safety of such means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. If the Contractor determines that such means,
<br />methods, techniques, sequences or procedures may not be safe, the Contractor shall give timely written notice to the
<br />Owner and Architect and shall not proceed with that portion of the Work without further written instructions from
<br />the Architect. If the Contractor is then instructed to proceed with the required means, methods, techniques,
<br />sequences or procedures without acceptance of changes proposed by the Contractor, the Owner shall be solely
<br />responsible for any loss or damage arising solely from those Owner -required means, methods, techniques, sequences
<br />or procedures.
<br />§ 3.3.2 The Contractor shall be responsible to the Owner for acts and omissions of the Contractor's employees,
<br />Subcontractors and their agents and employees, and other persons or entities performing portions of the Work for, or
<br />on behalf of, the Contractor or any of its Subcontractors.
<br />§ 3.3.3 The Contractor shall be responsible for inspection of portions of Work already performed to determine that
<br />such portions are in proper condition to receive subsequent Work.
<br />§ 3.4 LABOR AND MATERIALS
<br />§ 3.4.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall provide and pay for labor,
<br />materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery, water, heat, utilities, transportation, and other
<br />facilities and services necessary for proper execution and completion of the Work, whether temporary or permanent
<br />and whether or not incorporated or to be incorporated in the Work.
<br />§ 3.4.2 Except in the case of minor changes in the Work authorized by the Architect in accordance with
<br />Sections 3.12.8 or 7.4, the Contractor may make substitutions only with the consent of the Owner, after evaluation
<br />by the Architect and in accordance with a Change Order or Construction Change Directive.
