2.11 SANITATION. Necessary sanitary conveniences for the use of laborers on the work,
<br />properly secluded from public observation, shall be constructed and maintained by the CONTRAC-
<br />TOR in such manner and at such points as shall be approved by the ENGINEER, and their use
<br />shall be strictly enforced.
<br />2.12 SHOP DRAWINGS. The CONTRACTOR shall submit to the ENGINEER, with such
<br />promptness as to cause no delay in his own work or in that of any other Contractor, four checked
<br />copies, unless otherwise specified, of all shop and/or setting drawings and schedules required for
<br />the work of the various trades, and the ENGINEER shall pass upon them with reasonable prompt-
<br />ness, making desired corrections. The CONTRACTOR shall make any corrections required by the
<br />ENGINEER, file with him two corrected copies and furnish such other copies as may be needed.
<br />The ENGINEER'S approval of such drawings or schedules shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR
<br />from responsibility for deviations from drawings or specifications, unless he has in writing called
<br />the ENGINEER'S attention to such deviations at the time of submission, nor shall it relieve him
<br />from responsibility for errors of any sort in shop drawings or schedules. It shall be the CONTRAC-
<br />TOR'S responsibility to fully and completely review all shop drawings to ascertain their effect on
<br />his ability to perform the required contract work in accordance with the plans and specifications
<br />and within the contract time.
<br />Such review by the ENGINEER shall be for the sole purpose of determining the sufficiency
<br />of said drawings or schedules to result in finished improvements in conformity with the plans and
<br />specifications, and shall not relieve the CONTRACTOR of his duty as an independent contractor
<br />as previously set forth, it being expressly understood and agreed that the ENGINEER does not
<br />assume any duty to pass upon the propriety or adequacy of such drawings or schedules, or
<br />any means or methods reflected thereby, in relation to the safety of either person or property
<br />during CONTRACTOR'S performance hereunder.
<br />2.13 PRELIMINARY APPROVAL. The ENGINEER shall not have the power to waive the
<br />obligations of this contract for the furnishing by the CONTRACTOR of good material, and of
<br />his performing good work as herein described, and in full accordance with the plans and specifica-
<br />tions. No failure or omission of the ENGINEER to discover, object to or condemn any defective
<br />work or material shall release the CONTRACTOR from the obligations to fully and properly
<br />perform the contract, including without limitations, the obligation to at once tear out, remove and
<br />properly replace the same at any time prior to final acceptance upon the discovery of said defective
<br />work or material; provided, however, that the ENGINEER shall, upon request of the CONTRAC-
<br />TOR, inspect and accept or reject any material furnished, and in event the material has been once
<br />accepted by the ENGINEER, such acceptance shall be binding on the OWNER, unless it can be
<br />clearly shown that such material furnished does not meet the specifications for this work.
<br />Any questioned work may be ordered taken up or removed for re-examination, by the
<br />ENGINEER, prior to final acceptance, and if found not in accordance with the specifications for
<br />said work, all expense of removing, re-examination and replacement shall be borne by the
<br />CONTRACTOR, otherwise the expense thus incurred shall be allowed as EXTRA WORK, and
<br />shall be paid for by the OWNER; provided that, where inspection or approval is specifically
<br />required by the specifications prior to performance of certain work, should the CONTRACTOR
<br />proceed with such work without requesting prior inspection or approval he shall bear all expense of
<br />taking up, removing, and replacing this work if so directed by the ENGINEER.
<br />2.14 DEFECTS AND THEIR REMEDIES. It is further agreed that if the work or any part
<br />thereof, or any material brought on the site of the work for use in the work or selected for the
<br />same, shall be deemed by the ENGINEER as unsuitable or not in conformity with the speci-
<br />fications, the CONTRACTOR shall, after receipt of written notice thereof from the ENGINEER,
<br />forthwith remove such material and rebuild or otherwise remedy such work so that it shall be in
<br />full accordance with this contract.
<br />2.15 CHANGES AND ALTERATIONS. The CONTRACTOR further agrees that the OWNER
<br />may make such changes and alterations as the OWNER may see fit, in the line, grade, form,
<br />dimensions, plans or materials for the work herein contemplated, or any part thereof, either before
<br />or after the beginning of the construction, without affecting the validity of this contract and the
<br />accompanying Performance and Payment Bonds.
