18. MINORITY/WOMEN OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES:

Gilbane Building Company encourages participation of certified M/WBEs. Unless otherwise

noted, each bid package has a 10% participation goal.

It is mandatory that Section G, of the Proposal Form, be completed and submitted with the bid.

The successful bidder is expected to substantiate the full amount of participation offered within

ten days after receipt of Notice of Award. To substantiate the participation initially the Trade

Contractor shall submit copies of subcontracts or purchase orders signed by both parties. As the

work proceeds and payments are processed, the Trade Contractor shall submit cancelled checks.

The total of cancelled checks shall equal the participation commitment.

Failure to substantiate participation required by contract may result in a default under the

obligation of the Bid Bond. No monies shall be paid to the Trade Contractor until copies of

contracts and/or purchase orders for the full amount of participation have been submitted.

M/WBE participation shall be counted toward the goals and/or requirements for this project as

follows:

a) The dollar value of the contract or subcontract awarded to a certified minority or women

business enterprise will be counted toward such a goal or requirement in full provided item (c)

below is satisfied.

b) In the case of a joint venture with a certified M/WBE, the portion of the dollar value of the

contract equal to the percentage of the ownership and control of the joint venture by the

M/WBE will be counted toward the applicable goal or requirement provide item (c) below is

satisfied.

c) Only expenditures to certified M/WBEs that perform a commercially useful function in

the work of a contract or subcontract may be counted toward the applicable goal or

requirement. An M/WBE is considered to perform a commercially useful function when it is

responsible for execution of a distinct element of the work of a contract or subcontract and

carries out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work

involved. If an M/WBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the contract than would

be expected on the basis of normal industry practices, the M/WBE will be presumed not to be

performing a commercially useful function and the full amount of the contracted work shall

not be counted toward the goal or requirement, rather only that portion which the M/WBE is

performing a commercially useful function will be counted. The M/WBE may present

evidence to rebut this presumption.

d) Total dollar value of materials and supplies obtained from certified M/WBE suppliers may be

counted toward M/WBE goals or requirements, if the manufacturer or material supplier

normally works through such agents or representatives; the M/WBE, as regular part of their

business activity, represent the manufacturer or materials supplier, and the M/WBE assumes

the actual and contractual responsibility for the provision of the materials and supplies. If this



Bid Release 1


Page 8

situation does not exist, then the M/WBE participation shall be counted only for the markup

on such materials and supplies by the certified M/WBE supplier. The value of such

participation, which is counted towards the goals or requirements, may be further reduced by

a state or government limitation.

19. PROMOTIONAL INFORMATION:

There shall be no information divulged concerning this project to anyone including, for example,

information in application for permits, variances and other approval except such as is necessary

to secure the same provided that all such applications shall be first submitted to the Construction

Manager for approval by the Owner. The Trade Contractor shall not further refer to the project

in any of his promotional materials without the Owner's prior written consent obtained through

the Construction Manager.

20. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS:

Where compliance with two (2) or more sets of requirements is specified, and overlapping of

those requirements establishes two different levels or minimums for a particular quality, the more

stringent level will be enforced; this is generally the more costly of the two levels. Refer

instances of different(but(equal requirements to the Construction Manager for decision. Refer

instances of uncertainty as to which of two levels of quality is more stringent to the Construction

Manager for decision.

21. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS:

All Trade Contractors and Trade Subcontractors of any tier will be required to comply with the

provisions of the "Construction Safety Act" and the "Occupational Safety and Health Act of

1970", the General Conditions, and the Construction Manager's Safety Program and Project

Safety Plan available at the Construction Manager's office, or issued to the Trade Contractor, as

well as all other applicable Federal, State and local requirements.

Each Trade Contractor shall be responsible for the payment of all fines levied against the Owner,

Architect/Engineer, or Construction Manager for deficiencies relating to the safety of the Trade

Contractor’s work.

22. ALTERNATES:

Alternates, if requested, are included to enable the Owner to compare total costs where alternate

materials and methods might be used. Alternates will be described in the Proposal Form.

any part thereof, for ninety (90) days after date of receipt of bids, unless specifically

23. SUBSTITUTIONS

If a Bidder proposes to use a product other than those specified, Bidders shall identify the specified

product and indicate the proposed substitution, in the space provided, on the Bid Form. Bidders

shall submit with the Bid, or upon request of the Architect, catalog cuts and any other pertinent

data required to completely describe the substitution(s). Bidders shall be responsible for

coordination, additional work and/or additional materials required to install substituted items.

certify that the substitute is equal or superior to that specified.

Owner shall be borne by the Bidder proposing the substitution.

Permission to use any items on the substitution sheet, in the Bid Form, regardless of whether or

not there is a difference in price shall be granted only upon approval by the Architect,

Construction Manager, and Owner and so stated in the agreement between Contractor and Owner

or by formal change order.

Proposed substitutions will not be used in determining low responsible Bidder.

The Bidder shall furnish and use the materials as specified. If no list of substitutions is included

in the Bid submittals, substitutions will not be considered at a later date.

24. AWARD OF THE CONTRACT

It is the intent of the District to award Contracts to the low responsible Bidders, as determined

pursuant to the Bidding Documents. In the opinion of the District, there are two prime concerns

in awarding the Contracts, the lowest Bid and the responsibility of the Bidder to complete the

project within the dates set forth in the Project Manual.

In determining whether a Bidder is a "responsible Bidder", the Owner will take into

consideration all information available relating to the Bidder's past history in completing work on

time and reputation for proceeding with jobs in a prompt, efficient manner without conflict with

the Owner and, in that regard, will consider all of the information provided by the Bidder and by

others and will particularly consider whether the Bidder has engaged in any of the following

activities and other activities that cause disruption to the smooth procedures of the working

process:

A. Any activities which have lead to disruption of the steady performance of the work.

B. Taken advantage of a tight schedule to call for extras.



Bid Release 1


Page 10

C. Has failed to meet time deadlines and has made requests for extension of time deadlines.

D. Has engaged in court or arbitration action against owners on questions arising during the

project.

E. Has an unsafe work record or Experience Modification Rate (EMR).

A responsible Bidder will be determined based on the information submitted and additional

independently obtained information and shall:

A. Have a successful history of job completion and conformance with set schedules.

B. Have the financial capacity to complete these projects.

C. Have a company organization and personnel capable of scheduling, coordinating, and

completing the project.

D. Have acceptable safety rating (EMR).

In determining whether a Bidder is a responsible Bidder, and in evaluating the information

submitted and other information which the Owner has been able to develop, the Owner will

consider such matters, in light of the absolute necessity to have the project completed to meet the

specified time deadlines.

format as specified below. The intent is to support the Owner’s computerized asset,

maintenance, or space management systems. Each Trade Contractor is responsible to

pursue, obtain and furnish to Gilbane the complete asset data required from project

participants that are under their Subcontract Work.

The submittal of all specified data in electronic format is to occur concurrently with the

progress of the work. Timely and accurate submittals of requisite data will be a

condition precedent for issuance of monthly payments. All submittals shall be

completed a minimum of 30 days prior to substantial completion or Owner Occupancy,

whichever occurs first. Any performance related data should be submitted no later than

30 days after its measurement and recording in the field. Any deviations identified by

Bid Release 1


Page 4

• Drawings (e.g. as&builts, shop drawings, floor plans)

• Submittals

• Operations and Maintenance manuals

• Testing and Balancing reports

• Commissioning report

f) Asset Data Collection

The following need to be delivered to Gilbane in electronic data format

1. Maintained Assets & The following criteria can be used to identify maintained

assets. Any questions can be referred to the Gilbane representative for

clarification (only one of the criteria need apply):

a. The asset requires some form of periodic maintenance and/or inspections.

The unit, assembly or building feature is the subject of a separate and distinct

warranty provision.

b. The item needs to be tracked per regulatory requirements, including, but not

limited to, fire extinguishers and emergency lighting.

c. Unit or assembly cost greater than $2,000 or group purchases in excess of

$25,000.

d. The item is clearly distinct from other items surrounding it and therefore not a

part of a larger assembly.

e. The item, although part of a major system, could be disconnected from the

system without disabling the systems operation.

Some equipment items consist of large assemblies. If the manufacturer

provides separate operation and maintenance manuals, with separate and

distinct planned maintenance schedules for the equipment elements

comprising that large assembly, then each equipment element should be

separately identified by equipment tags, and electronic data should be

provided for each. An example would be cooling towers and the associated

pumps. Conversely, if all components of a large assembly are covered by a

single O&M manual, which includes all appropriate planned maintenance

schedules, then this could be considered one maintainable asset.

2. Vendors. Identify the contractor, Trade Contractor, supplier, distributor and

manufacturer – responsible for the installation, service and warranty of each

maintainable asset. Data shall include the firm’s name, address, contact person, phone

number, e&mail address, web site address, date of acceptance, warranty provider,



Bid Release 1


Page 5

warranty term and any other pertinent information necessary for the owner to obtain

service.

3. Preventive Maintenance. The project participants shall identify all original equipment

manufacturer (OEM) recommended preventive maintenance (PM) tasks and steps

associated with each maintainable asset. The PM tasks shall be structured as annual,

semi&annual, quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily or as otherwise recommended by the

OEM. Each PM task, the annual PM for example, shall contain all the individual steps

necessary to complete that task without referencing other tasks or documents. Each PM

task shall also list any required or recommended consumable materials and replacement

or spare parts that may be used during the performance of the task. Typical data elements

would include a description, manufacturer, manufacturer’s part number, order quantity

and expected cost. Additionally any pertinent information regarding environmental,

health and safety precautions, including MSDS sheets, special tools, or special training

requirements shall be provided In the event that multiple identical assets are provided it

will only be necessary to provide the PM task or other repetitive information for one

asset and identify the other assets the information applies to.

4. Spare Parts. In addition to the spare parts specified by the OEM and identified in the

preventive maintenance procedures, the project participants shall identify any attic stock

materials required under contract such as lamps, filters and other such items.

d) Typical Maintainable Assets

A representative list of Maintainable Assets is shown below. This list is not

inclusive of all types of maintainable assets required for electronic data

submittal. It is provided to give the project participants an understanding of the

types of assets and data to be provided in electronic data formats. Gilbane will

work with the owner and project participants to identify the final data

TRADE CONTRACTORS 7.1 DEFINITION


> 14 >

7.1.1 A Trade Contractor is the person or entity identified as such in the Agreement between the

Construction Manager and a Trade Contractor or in the Purchase Order between the Vendor and the Construction Manager and is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in number and masculine in gender. The term Trade Contractor means the Trade Contractor or his authorized representative.

7.1.2 The Agreements are between the Trade Contractors and Construction Manager. These

conditions in several instances make reference to obligations and rights of the "Owner or Construction Manager" to cover both possibilities. Such references are only to cover either possibility and such use does not create a joint obligation on the Owner and Construction Manager to the Trade Contractor. The contract obligation with the Trade Contractor is solely with the person or entity with whom he has his Agreement.

7.1.3 The Construction Manager shall call for meetings of the Trade Contractors, Trade>

Subcontractors, and material suppliers as he deems necessary for the proper coordination of the work. Such meetings shall be held at the jobsite on regular working days during regular working hours. Unless otherwise directed by the Construction Manager, attendance shall be mandatory for all parties notified.

7.1.4 In the Contract Documents, the word "Contractor" or “Subcontractor” shall mean and shall

be interpreted as being the "Trade Contractor" whose "scope of work" includes that portion of the Work.

In these General Conditions the word "Contractor", “Subcontractor”, and/or "Trade Contractor" shall mean and shall be interpreted as being "individually, each and every Trade Contractor".

7.2 REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS 7.2.1 The Trade Contractor shall carefully study and compare the Contract Documents and shall

at once report to the Construction Manager any error, inconsistency or omission he may discover. The Trade Contractor shall not be liable to the Owner, Construction Manager, or Architect/Engineer for any damage resulting from any error, inconsistency or omission, unless the Trade Contractor proceeds with such work knowing of the error, inconsistency, or omission.

7.2.2 It is not the Trade Contractor’s responsibility to ascertain that the Contract Documents are

in accordance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, and rules and regulations. However, if the Trade Contractor observes that portions of the Contract Documents are at variance therewith, the Trade Contractor shall promptly notify the


> 15 >

Construction Manager in writing, and necessary changes shall be accomplished by appropriate modification. If the Trade Contractor performs any Work knowing it to be contrary to such laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, and without such notice to the Construction Manager, he shall assume full responsibility therefore and shall bear all costs attributable thereto.

7.2.3 At the completion of the project and as a prerequisite to release retainage, each Trade

Contractor shall submit a letter of compliance. This compliance letter shall state that all work has been completed in accordance with the contract documents, that the installation has been performed in accordance with all applicable codes, and that all fire resistance characteristics, as required by the Fire Department, have been met. This letter must be signed by an officer of the company.

7.3 SUPERVISION AND CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES 7.3.1 The Trade Contractor shall supervise and direct the Work, using his best skill and attention.

He shall be solely responsible for all construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures and for coordinating all portions of the Work under the Trade Contract subject to the overall coordination of the Construction Manager.

7.3.2 The Trade Contractor shall be responsible to the Owner and the Construction Manager for

the acts and omissions of his employees and all his Trade Subcontractors and their agents and employees and other persons performing any of the Work under a contract with the Trade Contractor.

7.3.3 Observations, inspections, tests or approvals by persons other than the Trade Contractor

shall not relieve the Trade Contractor from his obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.

7.3.4 The Trade Contractor shall do and be responsible for the correct laying out of the Work as

per Contract Documents from control established by others including all necessary leveling and checking. The Trade Contractors shall periodically check the established base lines and bench marks, and shall lay out all partition lines and other significant reference lines or points which will enable them to accurately place their boxes, openings, sleeves, conduits, pipe, duct, controls, hangers, inserts and other devices. Trade Contractors shall be responsible for laying out their Work from these reference points. The Trade Contractor shall also make all field measurements required for the work.

7.3.5 This Trade Contractor and all their Sub>Trade Contractors shall obtain all permits and

provide copies to the Construction Manager, pay all fees, give notice, file plans and licenses, and arrange for testing, inspection and approvals as it relates to your work, such that the


> 16 >

work of other trades can progress in a continuous manner. Provide any additional valving or other provisions required to accomplish above whether indicated or not. Please note that only the General Building Permit will be provided by others.

7.4 LABOR AND MATERIALS 7.4.1 The Trade Contractor shall at all times enforce strict discipline and good order among his

employees and shall not employ on the Work any unfit person or anyone not skilled in the task assigned to him. Harassment and offensive language will not be permitted on the grounds. Violation will be cause for immediate debarment from the site. Workers shall be courteous and professional in mannerisms while on the premises

7.4.2 The Trade Contractor shall accept delivery, unload, store, protect, provide security,

distribute, install and clean any materials, systems and equipment furnished by others, which are a part of the Work. The Trade Contractor shall document receipt of such materials, systems and equipment on forms acceptable to the Construction Manager.

7.4.3 Whenever the Trade Contractor has knowledge that any actual or potential labor dispute is

delaying or threatens to delay the timely performance of the Work of this contract, the Trade Contractor shall immediately give notice thereof to the Construction Manager. The Trade Contractor shall then confirm the notice, in writing, within 24 hours of the giving thereof and shall include all relevant information with respect thereto. No claims will be accepted for costs incurred as a result of labor disputes.

ARTICLE 8

WARRANTY 8.1 The Trade Contractor warrants to the Owner and the Construction Manager that all

materials and equipment furnished will be new unless otherwise specified, and that all Work will be of good quality, free from faults and defects and in conformance with the Contract Documents. All work not conforming to these requirements, including substitutions not properly approved and authorized, may be considered defective. If required by the Construction Manager, the Trade Contractor shall furnish satisfactory evidence as to the kind and quality of materials and equipment. This warranty is not limited by the provisions of Paragraph 32.2.

8.2 The warranty of materials, equipment and workmanship defined in 8.1 is separate from,

independent of, and in addition to any other guarantees or warranties required by the Contract Documents.


> 17 >

8.3 Warranties and guarantees shall clearly define what is to be guaranteed; the extent, terms, conditions, time and effective dates, which shall comply with the Contract Documents.

8.4 Warranties shall not commence to run until:

a) The date of Substantial Completion of the project and

b) The Owner is in possession of and accepts all the specified guarantee/warranty documentation, and

c) The Owner has received the specified training and manuals for the operation and

maintenance of the system/equipment. 8.5 If specified in the Contract Documents and prior to the date of Substantial Completion of

the project the Owner or Construction Manager occupies or uses any separate unit of the Work, the Trade Contractor shall include all costs associated with extending the guarantee/warranty period to cover the period in advance of the date of Substantial Completion of the project and the specified period after the date of Substantial Completion. The Trade Contractor shall also provide maintenance during this extended period.

8.6 If repairs or corrections are required in connection with the guaranteed Work, the Trade

Contractor shall, promptly, within 48 hours after receipt of notice from the Construction Manager or Owner and without expense to the Owner or Construction Manager, commence and continue to effect such repairs or corrections to:

1. Place in satisfactory condition all of such guaranteed Work and correct all defects

therein;

2. Make good all damage to the structure, finishes or site or equipment or contents thereof, which, in the opinion of the Architect, Engineer and Construction Manager is the result of the use of materials, equipment or workmanship which are inferior, defective or not in accordance with the terms of the Contract;

8.7 Notifications by Owner of defects shall stop the warranty time period. The guarantee or

warranty period for that replaced or restored work shall be reinstated for the remaining time period, starting on the date of acceptance of the replaced or restored work.

8.8 In any case, where in fulfilling the requirements of the Contract or of any guarantee

embraced in or required thereby, the Trade Contractor disturbs any work guaranteed under another contract, he shall restore such work to a condition satisfactory to the Architect, Engineer, and Construction Manager and guarantee such restored work to the same extent


> 18 >

as it was guaranteed under such other contract. 8.9 If the Trade Contractor after notice fails to proceed within 48 hours to commence and

continue to comply with the terms of the guarantee, the Owner or Construction Manager may have the defect corrected in which case the Trade Contractor and his surety, if applicable, shall be liable for all expenses incurred.

8.10 All special guarantees or warranties applicable to definite parts of the Work that may be

stipulated in the Contract Documents shall be subject to the terms of this Article at a minimum during the first year of the life of such special guarantee.

8.11 Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with

respect to any other obligation which the Trade Contractor might have under the Contract Documents.

8.12 In the event the Work of the Trade Contractor is to be modified by another Trade

Contractor, either before or after inspection, the first Trade Contractor shall remain responsible in all respects under the warranty given in Article 8 and under any other warranties provided in the General Conditions or by law. However, the first Trade Contractor shall not be responsible for any defects in material or workmanship introduced by the Trade Contractor modifying its work. Both the first Trade Contractor and the Trade Contractor making the modifications shall each be responsible solely for the work done by each. The Trade Contractor modifying the earlier work shall be responsible for any damage to or defect introduced into the Work, which it is modifying.

ARTICLE 9

TAXES 9.1 The Trade Contractor shall pay all sales, consumer, use and other similar taxes for the Work

or portions thereof furnished or provided by the Trade Contractor which are legally required at the time bids or proposals are received, whether or not yet effective. Such taxes are included in the Trade Contract Sum.

9.2 Any taxes which are the responsibility of the Trade Contractor, but are not paid by the

Trade Contractor, and which are subsequently assessed against and paid by either the Owner or the Construction Manager shall be deducted by the Construction Manager as an offset from the unpaid Trade Contract Sum and any other amounts due to the Trade Contractor. If the amount of such unpaid taxes exceeds the total of the unpaid Trade Contract Sum and other amounts due to the Trade Contractor, the Trade Contractor agrees to pay the amount of such excess to the Construction Manager.


> 19 >

9.3 Certain states require that bonds be furnished by foreign contractors to assure payment of

state taxes, etc.. Providing such bonds and the cost thereof are included by the Trade Contractor in the Trade Contract Sum.

ARTICLE 10

ALLOWANCES 10.1 The Trade Contractor shall include in the Contract Sum all allowances stated in the Contract

Documents. Items covered by these allowances shall be supplied for such amounts and by such persons as the Construction Manager may direct, but the Trade Contractor will not be required to employ persons against whom he makes a reasonable objection.

10.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents:

10.2.1 These allowances shall cover the cost to the Trade Contractor, less applicable trade discount, of the materials and equipment required by the allowance delivered at the site, and all applicable taxes, unloading, handling, labor, installation costs and other expenses contemplated for the original allowance.

14.20 Coordination Drawing Process .1 Layout Drawings

As soon as practical and in no case starting later than 30 days after the award of

contract, unless noted otherwise, the HVAC Trade Contractor shall commence preparation of layout drawings of all equipment, duct work and piping at not less than 3/8" scale and in the latest version of CADD.

These drawings shall show routing, sizes and elevations of bottom of all ductwork and piping, equipment, registers, grilles, diffusers, and similar features, as well as locations of all valves, dampers, services, thermostats, and all other items requiring access for service and maintenance. The drawings shall also show beams, ceiling heights and types, walls and ratings, floor to floor dimensions and ratings, columns, doors and other major architectural and structural features as shown on the architectural and structural drawings.

The HVAC Trade Contractor shall within 60 days after award of contract, unless

noted otherwise, submit the layout drawings to the plumbing, fire protection, security, tel/data, AV, casework and electrical Trade Contractors who shall then mark on the reproducible or add a separate CADD layer for their own routings as well as other major items such as valves, access panels, switch panels, etc., as required to determine interrelationship and possible interferences with HVAC work, the work of other Trades Contractors, and architectural or structural features. The marked up reproducible or CADD file shall then be returned to the HVAC Trade Contractor through the Construction Manager no less than 30 days after receipt, unless noted otherwise.

.2 Preliminary Composite Drawing The HVAC Trade Contractor shall then prepare a preliminary composite of such

layout drawings, incorporating all the information and routings provided by the other Trade Contractors. (At the HVAC Trade Contractor’s option and approval from the Construction Manager, a group of transparent overlays may be substituted provided that they clearly show the relationship of all proposed installations). The composite or overlays will then be reviewed during a series of meetings as directed by the Construction Manager, at which all trades shall be represented, in order to review and resolve any real or apparent interferences or conflicts.

In preparing the composite drawings, minor changes in duct, pipe or conduit routings


> 30 >

that do not affect the intended function may be made as required to avoid space conflicts, when mutually agreed, but items may not be resized or exposed and concealed items relocated without the Architect/Engineer's and Construction Manager's written approval. No changes shall be made in any wall or chase locations, soffit or ceiling heights, door swings or locations, window or other openings, or other features affecting the function or esthetic effect of the building. If conflicts or interferences cannot be satisfactorily resolved, the Architect and Construction Manager shall be notified and their decision obtained.

The composite drawings need not be submitted as a whole, but they shall be

submitted, in all cases, in ample time to avoid construction delay. The coordination drawings may lack complete data in certain instances pending receipt of shop drawings, but sufficient space shall be allotted for the items affected. When final information is received, such data shall be promptly inserted on the composite drawings.

All changes in the scope of work due to revisions formally issued and approved shall

be shown on the composite drawings. All work on the coordination composite drawings shall be performed by competent

draftsmen and shall be clear and fully legible. The Architect shall be the sole judge of the acceptability of the drawings.

.3 Final Composite Drawing After all conflicts or interferences are resolved, the HVAC Trade Contractor shall

then develop a final composite drawing showing the agreed upon routing, layout and juxtaposition of all ductwork, conveyers, piping, major conduit, valves, panels, lighting fixtures and all other major mechanical and electrical installations. In areas where no HVAC work occurs, but where other mechanical, electrical, or systems installations are installed, each Trade Contractor shall be responsible for his own work and shall cooperate in preparing similar composite drawings, shall perform his own drafting work and pay his own costs in connection therewith. In the preparation of all the final composite drawings, large scale details as well as cross and longitudinal sections shall be as required to fully delineate all conditions. Particular attention shall be given to the locations, size and clearance dimensions of all equipment items, shafts, soffits, ceiling and wall spaces, and similar features.

These final composite drawings shall then be signed>off by each of the Trade Contractors, including the HVAC Trade Contractor, indicating their awareness of and agreement with the indicated routings and layouts and their interrelationship with the


> 31 >

adjoining or continuous work of all other Trade Contractors.

Thereafter, no unauthorized deviations will be permitted, and if made without knowledge or agreement of the Architect/Engineer and/or Construction Manager, this unauthorized work will be subject to removal and correction by the respective Trade Contractors at no additional cost to the Owner.

No extra compensation will be paid for relocating any duct, pipe, conduit, or other material that has been installed without proper coordination between all trades involved. If any improperly coordinated work, or work installed that is not in accordance with the approved coordination composites, necessitates additional work by the other trades, the costs of all such additional work shall be borne solely by the Trade Contractors responsible.

.4 Final Composite Drawing (Record Copy)

After the final composite drawings have been agreed upon and signed by all Trade Contractors, the HVAC Trade Contractor shall provide and distribute for reference and record purposes. Other Trade Contractors responsible for supplementary composite drawings, as indicated herein before, shall provide similar distribution. All Trade Contractors desiring additional prints of such drawings, beyond the basic distribution indicated above, shall arrange for and pay the cost of same.

The Construction Manager and each Trade Contractor as working reference shall

retain the record copies of final composite drawings. All shop drawings, prior to their submittal to the Architect/Engineer, shall be compared with the record composite drawings and developed accordingly by the Trade Contractor responsible. Any revision to the record composite drawings, which may become necessary during the progress of the work, shall be noted by all Trade Contractors and shall be neatly and accurately recorded on the record copies. Each Trade Contractor shall be responsible for the up>to>date maintenance of his record copies of the composite drawings and to keep one copy available at the site. The Construction Manager, and each Trade Contractor in the development of his “as>built” drawings, shall utilize the composite drawings and any subsequent changes thereto.

14.21 Record Documents: "AsDBuilt Drawings", Warranty and Maintenance Manuals

.1 Each Trade Contractor shall keep a complete record of his own work and shall indicate deviations from the Drawings as to the installation of his own work. All information shall be recorded in a neat, legible and accurate manner. All changes, revisions or additions made in the installation of the work which differs from that


> 32 >

required by the Drawings must be noted.

.2 Upon completion of the work, the Trade Contractor shall forward the marked up Drawings, suitable for preparation of composite "As>Built Drawings" to the Construction Manager for review and transmittal to the Architect. All changes shall be indicated in contrasting colors or highlighting.

Such asset data include but are not limited to doors, escalators, elevators, plumbing fixtures, air handling units, fans, pumps, heat exchangers, boilers, chillers, compressors, exhaust hoods, kitchen equipment, sub>stations, switchgear, transformers, panels, motor control centers, emergency generators, fire alarm systems, fire pumps, biomedical equipment, laboratory equipment, hospital gas systems, roofing system, security systems, cameras, badge readers, computers, and vehicles. Bulk and general construction items such as concrete, structural steel, siding, casework, and wall, floor or ceiling materials will not be included with the exception of roofing or any other element requiring routine or scheduled periodic maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer’s written recommendations.


> 34 >

Electronic Documentation – Software based originals of hard copy documents resident in formats such as word processing, spreadsheet, graphic, or read>only applications.

Electronic Data – Information elements of measurable, extractable, and/or sortable value. This information will typically be delivered in spreadsheets, database tables, or, in less typical cases, tables within word processing documents.

b) General Requirements

Trade Contractors shall provide construction documentation in electronic documentation format as specified below. The intent is to support the Owner’s computerized asset, maintenance, or space management systems. Each Trade Contractor is responsible to pursue, obtain and furnish to Gilbane the complete asset data required from project participants that are under their Subcontract Work. The submittal of all specified data in electronic format is to occur concurrently with the progress of the work. Timely and accurate submittals of requisite data will be a condition precedent for issuance of monthly payments. All submittals shall be completed a minimum of 30 days prior to substantial completion or Owner Occupancy, whichever occurs first. Any performance related data should be submitted no later than 30 days after its measurement and recording in the field. Any deviations identified by Gilbane are to be promptly corrected by the submitting project participant(s) and resubmitted.

c) Equipment Tagging The Trade Contractor shall ensure that manufacturer’s equipment tags are fixed to

all maintainable equipment items and easily accessible after equipment installation. These permanent tags include, but are not limited to, equipment model number and serial number.

d) Updated As>Built Drawings Any revisions or updated as>built drawings shall be provided in AutoCAD format

on CD 30 days prior to Owner occupancy of the facility. e) Submittal of Construction Documents All documents provided in paper format shall be provided to Gilbane in an

electronic format (electronic documentation such as MS Word, MS Excel, or Adobe PDF) on CD or USB flash drive. Documents that need to be provided in electronic format include:


> 35 >

• Drawings (e.g. as>builts, shop drawings, floor plans)

• Submittals

• Operations and Maintenance manuals

• Testing and Balancing reports

• Commissioning report 14.25 Electronic Turnover Package (e.TOP)

The following need to be delivered to Gilbane in electronic data format 1. Maintained Assets > The following criteria can be used to identify

maintained assets. Any questions can be referred to the Gilbane representative for clarification (only one of the criteria need apply): a. The asset requires some form of periodic maintenance and/or

inspections. b. The unit, assembly or building feature is the subject of a separate and

distinct warranty provision. c. The item needs to be tracked per regulatory requirements, including,

but not limited to, fire extinguishers and emergency lighting. d. Unit or assembly cost greater than $2,000 or group purchases in excess

of $25,000. e. The item is clearly distinct from other items surrounding it and

therefore not a part of a larger assembly. f. The item, although part of a major system, could be disconnected from

the system without disabling the systems operation.

Some equipment items consist of large assemblies. If the manufacturer provides separate operation and maintenance manuals, with separate and distinct planned maintenance schedules for the equipment elements comprising that large assembly, then each equipment element should be separately identified by equipment tags, and electronic data should be provided for each. An example would be cooling towers and the associated pumps. Conversely, if all components of a large assembly are covered by a single O&M manual, which includes all appropriate planned maintenance schedules, then this could be considered one maintainable asset.

2. Vendors. Identify the contractor, Trade Contractor, supplier, distributor

and manufacturer – responsible for the installation, service and warranty


> 36 >

of each maintainable asset. Data shall include the firm’s name, address, contact person, phone number, e>mail address, web site address, date of acceptance, warranty provider, warranty term and any other pertinent information necessary for the owner to obtain service.

3. Preventive Maintenance. The project participants shall identify all

original equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommended preventive maintenance (PM) tasks and steps associated with each maintainable asset. The PM tasks shall be structured as annual, semi>annual, quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily or as otherwise recommended by the OEM. Each PM task, the annual PM for example, shall contain all the individual steps necessary to complete that task without referencing other tasks or documents. Each PM task shall also list any required or recommended consumable materials and replacement or spare parts that may be used during the performance of the task. Typical data elements would include a description, manufacturer, manufacturer’s part number, order quantity and expected cost. Additionally any pertinent information regarding environmental, health and safety precautions, including MSDS sheets, special tools, or special training requirements shall be provided In the event that multiple identical assets are provided it will only be necessary to provide the PM task or other repetitive information for one asset and identify the other assets the information applies to.

4. Spare Parts. In addition to the spare parts specified by the OEM and

identified in the preventive maintenance procedures, the project participants shall identify any attic stock materials required under contract such as lamps, filters and other such items.

5. Typical Maintained Assets

This list is not inclusive of all types of maintained assets required for electronic data submittal. This list is provided to give the project participants an understanding of the types of assets and data to be provided in electronic data formats. The Gilbane representative will work with the Client and project participants to provide the final data requirements and format of the electronic data worksheets.

SUBSTITUTIONS 15.1 In requesting approval of deviations, “or equals” (where allowed by the Specifications), or

substitutions, the Trade Contractor shall provide evidence leading to a reasonable certainty that the proposed products will provide a quality or result at least equal to that otherwise attainable from the specified products. If, in the opinion of the Architect, the evidence presented by the Trade Contractor does not provide a sufficient basis for such reasonable certainty, the Architect may reject such substitution, “or equal”, or deviation without further investigation. Such rejection shall not relieve the Trade Contractor from complying with the Specifications at no additional cost to the Owner or Construction Manager.

15.2 If the Trade Contractor proposes to use a material which, while suitable for the intended

use, deviates in any way from the detailed requirements of the Contract Documents he shall inform the Architect through the Construction Manager in writing of the nature of such deviations at the time the material is submitted for approval, and shall request a written approval of the deviation from the requirements of the Contract Documents.

15.3 The Architect will judge the design and appearance of proposed “or equals” or substitutions

on the basis of their suitability in relation to the overall design of the project, as well as for their intrinsic merits. The Architect will not approve proposed “or equals” or substitutions as equal to items specified which, in his opinion, would be inharmonious, or otherwise inconsistent with the character or quality of design of the project.

Where appropriate, the Trade Contractor shall require each Trade>Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with his lower tier Trade>Subcontractors. The Trade Contractor shall make available to each proposed Trade>Subcontractor, prior to the execution of the Trade>Subcontract, copies of the Contract Documents to which the Trade>Subcontractor will be bound by this Paragraph 19.3.1 and shall identify to the Trade>Subcontractor any terms and conditions of the proposed Trade>Subcontract which may be at a variance with the Contract Documents. Each Trade>Subcontractor shall similarly make copies of such Documents available to his lower tier Trade>Subcontractors.

ARTICLE 20

SEPARATE TRADE CONTRACTS 20.1 MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY OF TRADE CONTRACTORS 20.1.1 The Trade Contractor shall afford the Construction Manager and other Trade Contractors

reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of their materials and equipment and the execution of their work, and shall connect and coordinate his Work with others under the general direction of the Construction Manager.

20.1.2 If any part of the Trade Contractor's Work depends, for proper execution or results, upon

the work of the Construction Manager or any separate Trade Contractor, the Trade Contractor shall, prior to proceeding with the Work, promptly report to the Construction Manager any apparent discrepancies of defects in such work that render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. Failure of the Trade Contractor to so report shall constitute an acceptance of the other Trade Contractor's or Construction Manager's work as fit and proper to receive his Work, except as to defects which may subsequently become apparent in such work by others.


> 46 >

20.1.3 Copies of Drawings and Specifications relating to these separate contracts will be available

to the Trade Contractor, upon request, for his information in carrying out the above provisions. The Trade Contractor shall be held responsible for any damage or misfit or rework resulting from his neglect to comply with the foregoing.

20.1.4 All Trade Contractors on the project shall have equal rights on the premises for the

performance of their work, but shall follow the sequence established by the progress schedule and/or instruction issued by the Construction Manager.

20.1.5 If the Trade Contractor notifies the Construction Manager, in writing, that another Trade

Contractor on this project is failing to coordinate his work with the Work of this contract, as directed, the Construction Manager will promptly investigate the charge. If he finds it to be true, he will promptly issue such directions to the other Trade Contractor with respect thereto as the situation may require. The Construction Manager shall not, however, be liable for any damages suffered by this Trade Contractor by reason of the other Trade Contractor's failure to promptly comply with the directions so issued by the Construction Manager or by reason of another Trade Contractor's default in performance; it being understood that the Construction Manager does not guarantee the responsibility or continued efficiency of any Trade Contractor. Any costs caused by defective or ill>timed work shall be borne by the party responsible therefore.

Agreement or such other date as may be established therein. 26.1.3 The date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof is the Date


> 51 >

specifically designated. 26.2 Not used. 26.3 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME 26.3.1 If the Trade Contractor is delayed at any time in the progress of the Work by any act or

neglect of the Owner, Construction Manager, or the Architect/Engineer, or by any employee of either, or by any separate contractor employed by the Owner, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by labor disputes, fire, unusual delay in transportation, adverse weather conditions not reasonably anticipatable, unavoidable casualties or any causes beyond the Trade Contractor's control, or by any other cause which the Construction Manager determines may justify the delay, then the Contract Time shall be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as the Construction Manager may determine. In the event that a conflict exists between this section and a like clause contained in a document having higher precedence, such like clause shall have preference to the extent of the conflict.

26.3.2 Any claim for extension of time shall be made in writing to the Construction Manager not

more than ten (10) days after the commencement of the delay; otherwise, it shall be waived. Any claim for extension of time shall state the cause of the delay and the number of days extension requested.

26.3.5 It is recognized by the Trade Contractor that he may reasonably anticipate that as the project progresses, the Construction Manager will be making changes in and updating construction schedules pursuant to the authority given him in Article 2.2 in the Trade Contract Agreement. Therefore, no claim for an increase in the Contract Sum for either acceleration or delay will be allowed for extensions of time pursuant to this Paragraph 26.3 or for other changes in the Construction Schedules, which are of the type ordinarily experienced in projects of similar size and complexity.

26.3.6 If the Project is delayed as a result of the Trade Contractor's refusal or failure to begin the

Work on the date of commencement, as defined in Subparagraph 26.1.2 or his refusal or failure to carry the Work forward expeditiously with adequate forces, equipment, material or other resources, the Trade Contractor shall be liable to the Construction Manager or other Trade Contractors for damages for every day the Trade Contractor's scheduled completion is exceeded, provided, however, that such refusal or failure is not the result of a justifiable delay as defined in Subparagraph 26.3.1. It shall be understood and agreed that should delay in the project be attributable to more than one (1) Trade Contractor, the Construction Manager, at his sole discretion, shall make a reasonable assessment of the maximum damages for each Trade Contractor, such maximum damages being for every calendar day of unexcused delay.

26.3.7 The permitting of the Trade Contractor or the Surety on the performance bond, if

applicable, to proceed to complete any Work or any part of it after the date of completion or after the date to which the time for completion may have been extended, shall in no way operate as a waiver on the part of the Construction Manager of any of its rights hereunder.

26.3.8 Neither the Owner nor the Architect nor the Construction Manager shall have liability to the

Trade Contractor or to any other Trade Contractor or Trade>Subcontractor for delay, hindrance, or interference in the performance of the Work, however caused, except for delay or hindrance resulting from active interference of Owner or its representatives in such Trade Contractor's execution of the Work, and except for delay or hindrance resulting from defective plans and specifications.

liable to the Construction Manager for any other damages sustained as the result of the Trade Contractor's refusal or failure to perform the Work, provided, however, that such refusal or failure is not the result of a justifiable delay as defined in Subparagraph 26.3.1.

26.3.10 With the Construction Manager's approval, the Trade Contractor shall suspend any work

that may be subject to damage by climatic conditions. Under such conditions the Trade Contractor shall take measures to protect his work and to minimize the impact on progress of the work.

27.3 FAILURE OF PAYMENT 27.3.1 If the Trade Contractor is not paid within seven working days after, payment is made to

Construction Manager by the Owner, and is approved for payment by the Construction Manager and has become due and payable, then the Trade Contractor may, upon seven additional days written notice to the Owner and Construction Manager, stop the Work until payment of the amount due has been received. The Contract Sum shall be increased by the amount of the Trade Contractor's reasonable costs of shutdown, delay and start up, which shall be effected by appropriate Change Order in accordance with Paragraph 31.3.

27.4 FINAL COMPLETION AND FINAL PAYMENT 27.4.1 When the work is substantially completed, the Trade Contractor shall notify the

Construction Manager, in writing, that the work will be ready for final inspection and test on a definite date. Notice shall be given at least fifteen (15) days in advance of said date. The Construction Manager shall forward the notice to the Architect/Engineer who will attach his endorsement as to whether or not he concurs with the Trade Contractor's statement that the work will be ready for final inspection or test on the date given, but such endorsement shall not relieve the Trade Contractor of his responsibility in the matter. If the Architect/Engineer concurs that the Work will be ready for final inspection or test on the date given, the Architect/Engineer and the Construction Manager will make such inspection. The Trade Contractor is required to furnish access for the final inspection. If the Work is found acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed, and the Trade Contractor has documented the turnover of spare stock of materials, spare parts, accessories and special tools to the Owner through the Construction Manager, the Construction Manager, upon receipt of a correct final Application for Payment, shall recommend to the Owner that such payment be made.

27.4.2 Neither application for final payment nor for the remaining retained percentage shall be

If any Trade>Subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner or Construction Manager, the Trade Contractor may furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner and Construction Manager to indemnify them against any such lien. If any such lien


> 58 >

remains unsatisfied after all payments are made, the Trade Contractor shall refund to the Owner or Construction Manager all moneys that the latter may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.

Within thirty (30) days after the filing of such certificate of completion, the Owner shall pay the Construction Manager the amount stated therein, less all prior payments and advances, whatsoever, to or for the account of the Construction Manager. All prior estimates and payments including those relating to extra work shall be subject to correction by this payment, which is throughout this Contract called final payment. Upon receipt of final payment from the Owner, the Construction Manager shall make final payment to the Trade Contractors as required by Article 3.2 in the Trade Contract.

27.4.5 The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the Owner or

Construction Manager except those arising from:

.1 unsettled liens;

.2 faulty or defective Work appearing after Substantial Completion;

.3 failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents; or

.4 terms of any special warranties required by the Contract Documents. 27.4.6 The acceptance by the Trade Contractor of the final payment shall be, and operate as, a

release to the Owner and to the Construction Manager of all claims and of all liability to the Trade Contractor for all things done or furnished in connection with this Trade Contract. Acceptance of the final amendment represents full and final settlement of all costs and claims, known or unknown, real or imagined, against Gilbane Building Company and/or the Owner for Work, labor or materials provided under the Trade Contract Agreement and any amendments thereto and the Trade Contractor thereby releases Gilbane Building Company and the Owner from same.

ARTICLE 31

CHANGES IN WORK 31.1 CHANGE ORDERS/CONTRACT AMENDMENTS 31.1.1 A Change Amendment is a written order to the Trade Contractor signed by Construction

Manager, in the form of a Trade Contract Agreement amendment issued after the execution of the Contract, authorizing a Change in the Work or an adjustment in the Contract Sum and/or the Contract Time. The Contract Sum and the Contract Time may be changed only by written amendment. An Amendment signed by the Trade Contractor or not objected to within ten days of the date of the amendment indicates his agreement therewith, including the adjustment in the Contract Sum and/or the Contract Time.

31.1.2 If unit prices are stated in the Trade Contract Agreement or subsequently agreed upon, and

if the quantities originally contemplated are so changed in a proposed Change Request or Allowance that application of the agreed unit prices to the quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity to the Owner, the Construction Manager, or the Trade Contractor, as determined by the Construction Manager, the applicable unit prices may be equitably adjusted.

31.2 CONCEALED CONDITIONS 31.2.1 Should concealed or unknown conditions be encountered in the performance of the Work

below the surface of the ground or in an existing structure be at variance with the conditions indicated by the Contract Documents, or should unknown physical conditions in an existing structure 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, be encountered, the Trade Contractor must report the conditions to the Construction Manager before the conditions are disturbed. The Construction Manager shall thereupon notify the Architect/Engineer. Upon such notices, or upon his own observation of such conditions, the Architect/Engineer shall promptly make such changes in the Drawings and Specifications as he finds necessary to conform to the different conditions. Any change in the cost of the work or the time needed for completion resulting from concealed conditions shall be determined in accordance with Article 8 in the Trade Contract provided a notice there of is


> 64 >

made within ten (10) days after the first observance of the conditions. 31.3 CLAIMS FOR ADDITIONAL COST 31.3.1 A change in the work may be initiated in one of three ways:

.1 A "Request for Quotation" Form from the Construction Manager to the Trade Contractor describing the revision to the work desired. Usually, it is accompanied by revised drawings, sketches or other data.

.2 Formal notification via RFI from the Trade Contractor documenting a "concealed or

unknown condition" requesting investigation by CM and A/E which causes changes in the Drawings and Specifications (and a subsequent Request for Quotation on the revised documents).

.3 In response to a Trade Contractor's "Request for Information", the

Architect/Engineers' response may include instructions which the Trade Contractor interprets as involving "extra work". In such cases, the Trade Contractor must submit written notice within ten days of the date of the answer to the RFI to the Construction Manager requesting review and issuance of an appropriate Request for Quotation.

31.3.2 If an instruction is issued without an RFQ, the Trade Contractor has five (5) days to notify

the Construction Manager that the instruction involves extra cost and/or time. If it is determined by the Construction Manager that the work involved in such instruction shall be recognized as an extra, an RFQ shall be issued and the Trade Contractor shall have five (5) days to submit the quotation and the amounts of additional compensation to be paid therefore, should be determined in accordance with Article 8 in the Trade Contract. Failure to respond as noted shall waive the Trade Contractor's claim for any additional compensation.

31.3.3 Changes in the work will have a distinctly numbered CR (Change Request) number for

tracking purposes on the Request for Quotation Form. 31.3.4 Requests for Quotations must be responded to within five (5) days with all required

substantiation documentation. Failure to respond in such time shall waive the Trade Contractor’s claim for any additional compensation. Required substantiation documentation shall include at a minimum:

a. Change amount b. Time extension, if any c. Change to contract DBE amount d. Trade Contractor signature


> 65 >

e. Trade Contractor company name f. Date g. Quantities of material and equipment required h. Material and equipment supplier quotations i. Labor hours multiplied by contractual labor rate j. Quantities of unit price work multiplied by contractual unit prices k. Applicable taxes l. Markup per contract m. Bond cost, if applicable

Failure to provide all of the information described above will result in immediate rejection of the Trade Contractor’s quotation. Any delay caused to the Project and/or other Trade Contractors by non>conformance to these requirements is the responsibility of the Trade Contractor.

31.3.5 Any claim for damages of any character, delays for which the Owner or Construction

Manager is liable under the Contract Documents, extra work or extra compensation of any other nature, shall be waived unless notice thereof is given to the Construction Manager, in writing, within 10 days after the occurrence of the event which is relied upon to justify the claim or within such time as the event should have reasonably been discovered by the Trade Contractor, and in any event, before extra cost is incurred.

31.4 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK 31.4.1 The Architect/Engineer will have authority to order through the Construction Manager

minor changes in the Work not involving an adjustment in the Contract Sum or an extension of the Contract Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents. Such changes shall be effected by written instruction and such changes shall be binding on the Owner, the Construction Manager, and the Trade Contractor. The Trade Contractor shall carry out such written orders promptly.

31.5 TIME AND MATERIAL WORK

In the event a Trade Contractor is directed to proceed with a change, allowance or claim, on at time and material basis, the Trade Contractor must keep and present to the Construction Manager an itemized accounting together with supporting data, including Time and Material tickets. Time and Material tickets will only be considered when the work noted on said tickets has been previously authorized, in writing, by the Construction Manager. Any Time and Material tickets for work completed by the Trade Contractor, in which the Construction Manager has not been notified and has not agreed to track on a T&M basis, is done at the Trade Contractor’s expense. No compensation will be made for


> 66 >

such tickets. Also, all Time and Material work verification slips are to be presented by the Trade Contractor to the Construction Manager on a DAILY BASIS, on the SAME DAY the previously authorized work is performed. It is understood that the Construction Manager’s sign>off on a T&M ticket is for verification of the time and materials expended and does not alter the contractual obligations of the Trade Contractor and therefore does not indicate that a change will be accepted or and amendment issued.

ARTICLE 32

UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK 32.1 UNCOVERING OF WORK 32.1.1 If any portion of the Work should be covered prior to inspection, or contrary to the request,

of the Construction Manager or Architect/Engineer, or to requirements specifically expressed in the Contract Documents, it must, if required in writing by the Construction Manager, be uncovered for their observation and replaced, at the Trade Contractor's expense.

32.1.2 If any other portion of the Work has been covered which neither the Construction Manager

nor the Architect/Engineer has specifically requested to observe prior to being covered, the Architect/Engineer or Construction Manager may request to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by the Trade Contractor. If such Work be found in accordance with the Contract Documents, the cost of uncovering and replacement shall, by appropriate Change Amendment, be charged to the Owner or Construction Manager, as the case may be. If such Work be found not in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Trade Contractor shall pay such costs unless it be found that this condition was caused by a separate trade contractor employed as provided in Article 20, and in that event the separate trade contractor shall be responsible for the payment of such costs.

32.2 CORRECTION OF WORK 32.2.1 The Trade Contractor shall promptly correct all Work rejected by the Architect/Engineer or

the Construction Manager as defective or as failing to conform to the Contract Documents whether observed before or after Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed. The Trade Contractor shall bear all costs of correcting such rejected Work, including compensation for the Architect/Engineer's and/or Construction Manager's additional services made necessary thereby.

32.2.2 If, within one year after the Date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated


> 67 >

portion thereof, or within one year after acceptance by the Owner of designated equipment or within such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents, the Trade Contractor is notified of defective work he shall correct it promptly. This obligation shall survive the termination of the Contract. The Owner or Construction Manager shall give such notice promptly after discovery of the condition.

32.2.3 The Trade Contractor shall remove from the site all portions of the Work which are

defective or nonconforming and which have not been corrected under Subparagraphs 8.1, 32.2.1 and 32.2.2, unless removal has been waived by the Owner.

32.2.4 If the Trade Contractor fails to correct defective or nonconforming Work as provided in

Subparagraphs 8.1, 32.2.1 and 32.2.2, the Owner or Construction Manager may correct it in accordance with Article 9 in the Trade Contract.

32.2.5 If the Trade Contractor does not proceed with the correction of such defective or

nonconforming work within a reasonable time fixed by written notice from the Construction Manager, the Owner or Construction Manager may remove it and may store the materials or equipment at the expense of the Trade Contractor. If the Trade Contractor does not pay the cost of such removal and storage within ten days thereafter, the Owner or Construction Manager may upon ten additional days' written notice sell such Work at auction or at private sale and shall account for the net proceeds thereof, after deducting all the costs that should have been borne by the Trade Contractor, including compensation for the Construction Manager's additional services made necessary thereby. If such proceeds of sale do not cover all costs which the Trade Contractor should have borne, the difference shall be charged to the Trade Contractor and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued. If the payments then or thereafter due the Trade Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amount, the Trade Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner or Construction Manager.

32.2.6 The Trade Contractor shall bear the cost of making good all work of the Construction

Manager or other contractors destroyed or damaged by such removal or correction. 32.2.7 Nothing contained in this Paragraph 32.2 shall be construed to establish a period of

limitation with respect to any other obligation which the Trade Contractor might have under the Contract Documents. The establishment of the time period of one year after the Date of Substantial Completion or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any warranty required by the Contract Documents, relates only to the specific obligation of the Trade Contractor to correct the Work, and has no relationship to the time within which his obligation to comply with the Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish the


> 68 >

Trade Contractor's liability with respect to his obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.

ARTICLE 33

TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT 33.1 TERMINATION BY THE TRADE CONTRACTOR 33.1.1 If the Work is stopped for a period of thirty days under an order of any court or other public

Page 10 of 15

liberty, after 48 hours written notice to the Trade Contractor, to provide any such labor, equipment, and materials and deduct the cost thereof, from any money then due or thereafter to become due to the Trade Contractor, under this Agreement.

ADMINISTRATION

MANAGEMENT POLICY STATEMENT

The Joliet Township High School District 204 � Infant Child Care Center Project Safety Plan embodies the policies and procedures for prevention of injury, property damage, fire damage and occupational illness. No single feature of our work is of greater importance. It is Gilbane’s intention to commit itself each day to maintaining an accident-free workplace. There is never an acceptable reason for compromising safety. This document, the Gilbane contractor selection process, and site field activities are all designed to support and reinforce this goal.

It is a joint Joliet Township High School District 204 and Gilbane Building Company policy to provide a safe place to work at all times and to conduct all operations in a manner as to provide protection for all individuals who might come into contact with these operations. The Owner's employees, Gilbane Building Company employees, Contractor and Subcontractor employees, and all others employed on this site, as well as anyone who comes on the site for any reason during construction, are expected to conduct their work in a safe manner and are required to comply with established safety programs. By contract, every Contractor on this site is obligated to perform all work in a safe manner. By contract, every Contractor on this site is obligated to conform to the requirements of the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA) and all additions and revisions thereto, as well as other applicable Federal, State and Local requirements and the Project Safety Plan.

All supervisory employees must accept their responsibility for the prevention of accidents and for conducting all operations under their direction in a safe and efficient manner. The results of our safety efforts will affect our overall success in constructing the Project. Our goal is accident3free work with the traditional defect-free quality. We know this is the most efficient method and that all individuals working on this Project will subscribe to the Project Safety Plan.

With the cooperation, dedication and assistance of everyone, this will be a successful and safe project.

MANAGEMENT STATEMENT 3 STATEMENT OF FINAL AUTHORITY

All persons who come into the work area, for any reason during construction, will be required to comply with the established safety regulations that govern the project.

Contractors are committed by contract to observe and comply with all applicable safety regulations and procedures. Each Contractor will participate in the Project Safety Program,



hereafter referred to as the "Program".

If Gilbane finds Contractor areas of work or individuals being, or acting in noncompliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA), as amended, or any other applicable regulations, Gilbane shall have the authority to order immediate correction and cessation of the non-compliant occurrence. Non3compliance with Project Safety Regulations will be grounds for Contractor dismissal and/or employee(s) being forbidden entry onto the project. All costs of correction shall be borne by the Contractor deemed responsible. Gilbane’s decision of responsibility shall be final.

Nothing contained herein, however, shall serve to relieve the Contractor of his liabilities and/or obligations under the "Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970" and all additions and revisions thereto, as well as all other applicable Federal, State and Local requirements.

INSPECTION AND AUDITING

Purpose and Scope

To establish a basic inspection/audit program for the elimination of unsafe practices by employees and to establish a hazard free work environment for all employees on the project.

Objectives

To reaffirm the Trade Contractor's basic responsibility for the actions of the employees as originally assigned under the General Provision of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (revised). The exercise of these responsibilities by all project trade contractors will be the effective deterrent to accidents arising from unsafe practices and physical conditions, that will materially enhance the construction efficiency of this project.

Procedures

Control will be achieved only when each trade contractor fulfills their contractual and statutory responsibilities and applies all practical steps to maintain safe and healthful work practices and conditions.

Project Controls

Continued monitoring/audit of the performance of the Contractor and their supervision under this section will be made by Gilbane. Contractors will be notified of any unsafe practices observed. The Contractor's safety supervisor, the Project Safety representative and the Construction



Manager's field staff shall utilize the "Construction Safety Survey".

Supervisory Control

Contractor

Each Contractor will be responsible for conducting continuous daily surveys of their operations to insure they are aware of the probable sources of potential injury or loss due to unsafe acts of procedures.

Planning

Contractors must extensively plan the procedures to be followed for each operation using Hazard Analysis procedures and submit such plans to Gilbane.

Personnel chosen to perform any such planned operation shall be thoroughly briefed in all aspects of the procedure, including emergency actions to be taken in the event of a mishap.

Inspections

In addition to inspections conducted by Gilbane, Insurance Representatives, and each Contractor, construction activities are subject to periodic inspection by OSHA Compliance Officers.

Each Contractor is required to notify Gilbane in writing prior to starting work if they, by their Company policy, they will require a warrant for OSHA to inspect their work. Gilbane does not require a warrant.

Contractors shall forward copies of any and all inspection reports and/or citations received by the Contractor from OSHA to Gilbane. All information will remain confidential.

In the event a OSHA Compliance Officer visits the site, he/she will be directed to the Gilbane office. The appropriate Contractors will then be notified so that an Opening Conference may be conducted. Gilbane will organize an inspection party, consisting of both employer and employee representatives.

Notification of Hazards

Each Contractor shall notify Gilbane verbally or in writing of the existence of any hazardous conditions, property, or equipment at the work site, which are not under the Contractor's control. However, it is the Contractor's responsibility to take all necessary precautions against injury until corrected by the responsible party.

Equipment and Facilities

All Contractors operating equipment and facilities used shall be, inspected, and maintained as directed by this manual; as dictated by the applicable Federal and State safety and health regulations. In the event of conflict, the more stringent requirement will take precedence.

INTERIM LIFE SAFETY MATTERS FOR OCCUPIED FACILITIES

Specific Measures

� Whenever construction affects the facility's ability to accommodate occupants (either because of disruption of services, interruption of normal operations, or when hazards are present), it will become necessary to implement interim life safety measures, as follows:

� Ensure that all exits are clear. This includes areas directly affected as well as all other exits.

� Ensure that there is free access to emergency services, that vehicles, material, etc. are not blocking the access route.



� Disabling of fire protection systems. A small disaster could escalate if the fire protection system is not functional. Care should be given to provide an alternate system while the primary system is off-line. This includes scheduled maintenance, upgrade, repairs, or adding of coverage resulting in disabling system, and disabling system to allow maintenance or repairs to be completed on other systems (e.g. hot work).

� Fire alarm, detection, and suppression systems must not be impaired. A temporary (but equivalent) system shall be used if the system is impaired. These temporary systems must be tested monthly.

� Temporary construction partitions shall be smoke tight and noncombustible. Adequate signage shall discourage casual observers from opening or entering the partitions.

� Additional (double) fire-fighting equipment must be provided, as well as personnel trained in its use.

� Smoking is prohibited on campus, in and adjacent to all construction areas. Strict enforcement must occur.

� Construction site shall be kept clean and orderly. This includes material piles, debris, platforms, and break areas.

� Hazard surveillance of sites shall be increased and documented. Attention is to be given to evacuation routes, construction areas, storage, office/lunch areas, and fuel storage.

� Whenever the safeties of adjacent areas are compromised because of construction, staff shall be informed. Alternate exit routes shall be identified.

� Facility-wide education programs are conducted explaining interim life safety matters and current life safety deficiencies.

� The construction site must be restricted from all but authorized staff. Adequate signage shall be provided.

� Alternate access must be provided for public and emergency traffic whenever disruption occurs.

� Policy and procedures must ensure that roads and pathways are clear of mud, debris, materials, etc.

� Proper notification must be made to local authorities (fire, police, other) whenever life safety is diminished.

� Governing body shall be kept apprised of status of life safety during project.

� Construction workers must be made aware of egress routes.

� Construction workers’ egress routes must be inspected daily to ensure no obstacles.

� Effective storage, housekeeping, and debris-removal policies and procedures must be in place to reduce collection of combustibles in construction areas.

� Whenever fire zones are altered, the owner’s staff will be informed in regard to new or different life safety measures regarding their changed compartmentation and fire safety.

LINE BREAK

� Policy - Any entry into an operating Process System under installation, testing, or operating conditions is subject to the procedures for “line breaking”.

� All employees are to be informed of the inherent dangers of working on operating process systems.



� Entries can be made only with approval of the Owner and Gilbane.

� Added hazard potential exists when cooling occurs, vacuums, which may be holding liquids in pockets often break without warning and liquid is released to run to the lowest point. Plugs (particularly solidified process materials) can move and release materials after the first connection has been broken.

� The Owner and Gilbane must agree on the location of first breaks

� All systems must be considered as having the potential to discharge contained energy/material from open ends of lines or broken flanges at any time even after the line has been drained and vented.

� Cautions

� No Contractor may enter an operating piping system or equipment until the requirements of this procedure are met. Systems activated for testing purposes fall under this procedure.

� Under no circumstances will any line/system be violated other than via the lock and tag procedure.

LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURES

• The contractor must adhere and strictly follow either the Project Lockout and Tagout requirements, the owner’s requirements or the contractors own requirements, whichever is the most stringent.

• Electrical work (e.g. tie-ins, panel maintenance) shall be conducted only on de-energized (locked out and tagged out) systems. All circuit disconnects must be locked in the open position or otherwise appropriately identified with affixed tags stating "DANGER - DO NOT ENERGIZE" or other equivalent wording prior to working on the system or equipment. Employees are not permitted to work on any energized circuits unless conditions mandate and written approval is obtained from the Regional Safety Manager. The pre-task planning for all work on energized systems must be submitted for review. Additionally, work practices must conform to all applicable owner, state and federal requirements including the NEC and the most recent version of NFPA 70E.

Lockout Devices

� Only individually keyed padlocks shall be used. Padlocks are to be painted per the craft color code for easier detection and craft identification.

� A lockout device of the standard scissor type that will allow the placing of more than one padlock is required, when more than one individual is working on a circuit or mechanical process.

� A piece of chain or cable may be necessary to complete a lockout on some valves or controls and shall be used wherever needed.

Danger Tags

'Danger Tags' are not 'Danger Signs', and shall not be used where a sign is needed.

Two standardized Danger Tags shall be used on this project. They are described as follows:

"DANGER - DO NOT USE": This tag must be attached to each padlock on a lockout.

"UNSAFE - DO NOT USE": This tag does not require an attachment to a padlock, but may be



used if needed. This tag shall be used to identify tools, equipment, vehicles, etc.

Procedure

If device, valve, switch, or piece of equipment is locked out, a "Danger Tag" shall be attached.

No device, valve, switch or piece of equipment shall be operated with a "Danger Tag" and/or lockout attached regardless of circumstances! ! !

� Systems consisting of electrical components will be checked, locked and tagged first by electrical craft employee working on the circuit. The electrical craft will be the first lock on, and the last lock off.

� Where placing of lock is not feasible, the circuit conductor will be disconnected from the breaker and tagged out.

� The panel cover must be of the type that will cover all breakers when closed and must be equipped with a hasp in order to secure a lock to prevent the panel door from being opened.

� If panel cover is of a type that cannot be locked closed, a cover must be secured over the panel cover and be locked closed and tagged while any work is being performed on any of those circuits.

� If the above cannot be accomplished, each circuit will be tagged out as prescribed and an electrician will stand by the panel board to prevent breakers from being tampered with. This physical presence will continue daily until the work is complete.

� All "Danger Tags" must be dated and signed. Also on tag, must be the intended work and equipment for which tag has been placed.

� If employees of more than one craft or crew are to work on a system, circuit, machinery, or component, the supervisor from that craft shall place his individual lock and tag; and verify that the system, circuit, machinery or component being tagged, is indeed the system that is to be worked on.

� Only the person that placed the lock and tag shall remove it without special authorization from the Project Manager, Construction Manager or Craft Superintendent.

� Padlocks, Lockout Devices and "Danger Tags" shall be made available as specified above.

� Padlocks shall be color coded for craft identification and shall only be used by that craft for lockout purposes, i.e. valves, switches, electrical components, etc.

� Padlocks shall be issued from the contractor responsible where a sign in/out log will be maintained. Locks and tags shall be issued to the foremen or supervisor responsible for the craft performing the work. The contractor of each craft discipline will be responsible for assuring all padlocks are personally identified, that will be used for lock and tag purposes. The Contractor Superintendent(s) will be responsible for ordering their own craft's padlock. A master key will also be provided.

� Any employee(s) or person(s) found to have removed another's lock and/or tag will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the project.

Special Situations

� When due to the nature of work, a supervisor who has employees assigned to work on systems that are between construction and client turnover that is to be locked and tagged out in order to perform work, the below shall be applied:



� Prior to the electrical foreman de-energizing the system, the foreman will ascertain whether system or device has been turned over and accepted by the client; If system is signed off, the client shall assume responsibility for de-energizing system and becoming the tagging authority.

� Contractor Electrical foreman/craft journeyman places lock and tag and tries to engage the equipment.

� The electrical journeyman or lead man will meter the tagged equipment to verify that it is de-energized.

Operating Facilities and Equipment

All systems covered under this section whether electrical, mechanical or others are considered those systems where no future construction activity is warranted.

Electrically Operated Systems

� Client representative or designee de-energizes system demonstrating accuracy to construction electrical supervisor, then locks and tags.

� Construction electrical foreman/journeyman ascertains that fuses, breakers or throws have been removed, when applicable; tags, locks and tries system.

WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

A waste reduction goal of 75% has been established for this project and along with a strategy to ensure this goal is

collectively achieved. To that end, all Trade Contractors must do their part to support this effort.

A minimum of 75% of the waste generated from the project must be diverted from landfills. In lieu of being sent to a

landfill, materials can be reused, recycled, etc.

This project has a 75% recycling by weight of all construction waste removed off"site during demolition and

construction. It will be mandatory to utilize a Dumpster/Waste Management Company which will separate off"site. A

monthly report must be issued with the “pencil copy” of each payment application. The report must contain at a

minimum: Date, Dumpster Ticket #, Total Yardage and Breakout of materials with % of total yardage, percentage of

materials diverted to landfill and percentage landfilled. Dumpsters provided under this allowance will be used by other

Trades.

All Trade Contractors not providing dumpsters per their individual bid package scope of work terms and

utilizing the project’s general trades bid package provided dumpsters, will ensure that its material has been properly

sorted before disposal into the dumpsters. Any re"sorting of debris by the General Trades Contractor to correct the

disposal of this Trade Contractor’s debris will be back charged to this Trade Contractor. However, all large or bulk

debris and/or abandoned material shall be removed and disposed of properly by the responsible trade contractor.

The waste management company providing dumpsters provided for general use shall send all materials to a transfer

station for sorting and recycling. A monthly report will be required by this company as well.

Any Trade Contractor that can reuse or recycle materials (i.e. wood pallets) should also provide documentation to the

Construction Manager so that they could be added to project totals.

Monthly reports must be submitted per the attached Waste Management Plan Exhibit One. (WMP Exhibit 1)

The following materials may be recycled.

• Corrugated Cardboard

• Clean dimensional wood and pallet wood

• Asphalt, brick and concrete

• Ferrous metals

• Non"Ferrous Metals

• Fluorescent bulbs

• Plastics

• Glass

• Bond paper
