§ 3.2 REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND FIELD CONDITIONS BY CONTRACTOR
<br /> § 3.2.1 Execution of the Contract by the Contractor is a representation that the Contractor has visited the site,
<br /> become generally familiar with local conditions under which the Work is to be performed and correlated personal
<br /> observations with requirements of the Contract Documents.
<br /> § 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 /> 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.
