8.1 Provisions for liquidated damages, if any, are set forth in the Agreement.
9. SUBSTITUTE MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT
9.1 The Contract, if awarded, will be on the basis of material and equipment described in the

"or-equal" items. Whenever it is indicated in the Drawings, or specified in the
Specifications, that a substitute or "or-equal" item of material or equipment may be
furnished or used by Contractor if acceptable to Engineer, application for such
acceptance will not be considered by Engineer until after the "effective date of the
Agreement. " The procedure for submittal of any such application by Contractor and
consideration by Engineer is set forth in paragraphs 6.7, 6.7.1, and 6.7.2 of the General
Conditions which may be supplemented in the General Requirements.

10.1 If the Supplementary Conditions require the identity of certain subcontractors and other

successful bidder to submit an acceptable substitute without an increase in bid price.
If the apparent successful bidder declines to make any such substitution, the contract shall
not be awarded to such bidder, but his declining to make any such substitution will not

organizatIOn so listed, and to whom Owner or Engineer does not make written objection
prior to the giving of the Notice of A ward, will be deemed acceptable to Owner and
Engineer.

16.7 When a construction contract for a public project is to be awarded to a bidder, a Colorado
resident bidder shall be allowed a preference against a nonresident bidder from a state or
foreign country equal to the preference given or required by the state or foreign country
in which the nonresident bidder is a resident, unless this requirement is inconsistent with
requirements of federal law or may cause the denial of federal moneys. See S8-19-1O 1,
102, CRS, for the complete provisions regarding this preference.

standard specification, manual, or code (whether or not specifically incorporated by reference in
the contract documents) shall change the duties and responsibilities of OWNER,
CONTRACTOR, ~)r or frORl set in the
contract documents. Clarifications and interpretations of the contract documents shall be issued
by ENGINEER as provided for in paragraph 9,3.
3.5 The contract documents will be governed by the law of the place of the project.

A V AILABILITY OF LANDS:
4,1 OWNER shall furnish, as indicated in the contract documents, the lands upon which the work is
to be performed, rights-of-way for access thereto, and such other lands which are designated for
the use of CONTRACTOR. Easements for permanent structures, or permanent changes in
existing facilities, will be obtained and paid for by OWNER, unless otherwise provided in the
contract documents, If CONTRACTOR believes that any delay in OWNER'S furnishing these
lands or easements entitles him to an extension of the contract time, CONTRACTOR may make a
claim therefore as provided in Article 12. CONTRACTOR may make a claim therefore as
provided in Article 12. CONTRACTOR shall provide for all additional lands and access hereto
that may be required for temporary construction facilities or storage of materials and equipment.
PHYSICAL CONDITIONS - INVESTIGATIONS AND REPORTS:
4,2 Reference is made to the supplementary conditions for identification of those reports of

documents.
UNFORESEEN PHYSICAL CONDITIONS:
4.3 CONTRACTOR shall promptly notifY OWNER and ENGINEER in writing of any subsurface or
latent physical conditions at the site or in an existing structure differing materially from those
indicated or referred to in the contract documents. ENGINEER will promptly review those
conditions and advise OWNER in writing if further investigation or tests are necessary. Promptly
thereafter, OWNER shall obtain the necessary additional investigations and tests, and furnish
copies to ENGINEER and CONTRACTOR. If ENGINEER finds that the results of such
investigations or tests indicate that there are subsurface or latent physical conditions which differ
materially from those intended in the contract documents, and which could not reasonably have
been anticipated by CONTRACTOR, a change order shall be issued incorporating the necessary
reVISIOns.
REFERENCE POINTS:
4.4 OWNER shall provide engineering surveys for construction to establish reference points which in
his judgment are necessary to enable CONTRACTOR to proceed with the worK.
CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for laying out the work (unless otherwise specified in the
general requirements), shall protect and preserve the established reference points, and shall make
no changes nor relocations without the prior written approval of OWNER. CONTRACTOR shall
report to ENGINEER whenever any referenc.e point is lost or destroyed or requires relocation

7.2 If any part of CONTRACTOR'S work depends, for proper execution or results, upon the work of
any such other contractor or utility service company (or OWNER), CONTRACTOR shall inspect
and promptly report to ENGINEER in writing any patent or apparent defects or deficiencies in
such work that render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results CONTRACTOR'S
failure to so report shall constitute an acceptance of the other work as fit and proper for
integration with CONTRACTOR'S work, except for latent or nonapparent defects and
deficiencies in the other work.
7,3 CONTRACTOR shall do all cutting, fitting, and patching of his work that may be required to
make its several parts come together properly and integrate with such other work.

and the others whose work will be affected.
7.4 If the performance of additional work by other contractors or utility service companies or
OWNER was not noted in the contract documents, written notice thereof shall be given to
CONTRACTOR prior to starting any such additional work. If CONTRACTOR believes that the

general, if the work is proceeding in accordance with the contract documents. ENGINEER will
not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or
General Conditions Page 15
quantity of the work. ENGINEER'S efforts will be directed toward providing for OWNER a
greater degree of confidence that the completed work will conform to the contract documents,
On the basis of such visits and on-site observations, as an experienced and qualified design
professional, ENGINEER will keep OWNER informed of the progress of the work, and will
endeavor to guard OWNER against defects and deficiencies in the work.
CLARIFICA TIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS:
9,3 ENGINEER will issue, with reasonable promptness, such written clarifications or interpretations
of the contract documents (in the form of drawings or otherwise) as ENGINEER may determine
necessary, which shall be consistent with, or reasonably inferable from, the overall intent of the

reasonable time: .
General Conditions Page 16
LIMIT A TIONS ON ENGINEER'S RESPONSIBILITIES:
9.10 Neither ENGINEER'S authority to act under this Article 9, or elsewhere in the contract
documents, nor any decision made by ENGINEER in good faith either to exercise or not exercise
such authority shall give rise to any duty or responsibility of ENGINEER to CONTRACTOR,
any subcontractor, any manufacturer, fabricator, supplier, or distributor, or any of their agents or
employees, or any other person performing any of the work.
9.] 1 Whenever, in the contract documents, the terms "as ordered", "as directed", "as required", "as
allowed", or terms of like effect or import are used, or the adjectives "reasonable", "suitable",
"acceptable", "proper", or "satisfactory", or adjectives of like effect or import are used to
describe requirement, direction, review, or judgment of ENGINEER as to the work, it is intended
that such requirement direction, review, or judgment will be solely to evaluate the work for
compliance with the contract documents (unless there is a specific statement indicating
otherwise). The use of any such term or adjective never indicates that ENGINEER shall have
authority to supervise or direct performance of the work, or authority to undertake responsibility
contrary to the provisions of paragraphs 9. 12 or 9. 13.
9.12 ENGINEER will not be responsible for CONTRACTOR'S means, methods, techniques,
sequences or procedures of construction, or the safety precautions and programs incident thereto,

additions, deletions, or revisions in the work; these will be authorized by change orders. Upon
receipt of a change order, CONTRACTOR shall proceed with the work involved. All such work
shall be executed under the applicable conditions of the contract documents, If any change order
causes an increase or decrease in the contract price, or an extension or shortening of the contract
time, an equitable adjustment will be made as provided in Article 11 or Article 12 on the basis of
a claim made by either party.
10.2 ENGINEER may authorize minor changes in the work, not involving an adjustment in the
contract price or the contract time, which are consistent with the overall intent ofthe contract
dowments. These may be accomplished by a field order, and shall be binding on OWNER, ar~d

recommend payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections
and resubmit the application. OWNER shall, within twenty days of presentation to him of the
application for payment with ENGINEER'S recommendation, pay CONTRACTOR the amount
recommended.
]4,5 ENGINEER'S recommendation of any payment requested in an application for payment will
constitute a representation by ENGINEER to OWNER that, based on ENGINEER'S on-site
observations of the work in progress as an experienced and qualified design professional, and on
ENGINEER'S review of the application for payment, and the accompanying data and schedules,
the work has progressed to the point indicated; that, to the best of ENGINEER'S knowledge,
information, and belief, the quality of the work is in accordance with the contract documents
(subject to an evaluation of the work as a functioning project upon substantial completion, and to
the results of any subsequent tests called for in the contract documents and any qualifications
stated in the recommendation); and, that CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment of the amount
recommended. However, by recommended any such payment, ENGINEER will not thereby be
deemed to have represented that exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections have been made to
check the quality or the quantity of work, or that the means, methods, techniques, sequences, and
procedures of construction have been reviewed, or that any examination has been made to
ascertain how or for what purpose CONTRACTOR has used the monies paid or to be paid to
CONTRACTOR on account of the contract price, or that title to any work, materials, or
equipment has passed to OWNER free and elear of any Liens.
]4,6 ENGINEER'S recommendation of final payment will constitute an additional representation by
ENGINEER to OWNER that tfle conditions precedent to CONTRACTOR'S being entitled to
final payment as set forth in paragraph] 4, ] 3 have been fulfilled.
]4,7 ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole, or any part of any payment if, in his opinion, it
would be incorrect to make such representations to OWl',mR He may also refuse to recommend
any such payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence, or the results of subsequent
inspections or tests, nullifY any such payment previously recommended to such extent as may be
necessary in ENGINEER'S opinion to protect OWNER from loss because:
General Conditions Page 25
14.7,1 the work is defective, or completed work has been damaged requiring correction or
replacement,
14.7,2 written claims have been made against OWNER, or Liens have been filed in connection
with the work,
14.7.3 the contract price has been reduced because of modifications,
14.7.4 OWNER has been required to correct defective work, or complete the work in

of the work to determine the status of completion. If ENGINEER does not consider the work
substantially complete, ENGINEER will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving his reasons
therefor. If ENGINEER considers the work substantia1ly complete, ENGINEER will prepare and
deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of substantial completion which shall fix the date of
substantial completion. There sha1l be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be
completed or corrected before final payment. OWNER shaIl have seven days after receipt of the
tentative certificate during which he may make written objection to ENGINEER as to any
provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after considering such objections, ENGINEER
concludes that the work is not substantia1ly complete, ENGINEER wi1l, within fourteen days
after submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER, notify CONTRACTOR in writing stating
his reasons therefor. If, after consideration of OWNER'S objections, ENGINEER considers the
work substantia1ly complete, ENGINEER will, within said fourteen days, execute and deliver to
OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of substantial completion (with a revised
tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative
certificate as he believes justified after consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the
time of delivery of tentative certificate of substantial completion, ENGINEER wi1l deliver to
OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division of responsibilities
pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security,
uti lities,
CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so inform ENGINEER prior to his issuing the
definitive certificate of substantial completion, ENGINEER'S aforesaid recommendation will be
binding on OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment.
14,9 OWNER sha1l have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the work after the date of
subs~antial completion, but OWNER sha1l a1low CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete
or correct items on the tentative list.

any part of the work which OWNER believes to be substantially complete and which
may be so used without significant interference with construction of the other parts of the
work. If CONTRACTOR agrees, CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER and
ENGINEER that said part of the work is substantially complete, and request ENGINEER
to issue a certificate of substantial completion for that part of the work. Within a
reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR, and ENGINEER shall make an
inspection of that part of the work to determine its status of completion. If ENGINEER
considers that part of the work to be substantially complete, ENGINEER will execute,
and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR, a certificate to that effect, fixing the date of
substantial completion as to that part ofthe work, attaching thereto a tentative list of
items to be completed or corrected before final payment. Prior to issuing a certificate of
substantial completion as to part of the work, ENGINEER will deliver to OWNER and
CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to the division of responsibilities pending
final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation,
safety, maintenance, utilities, and insurance for that part of the work which shall become
binding upon OWNER and CONTRACTOR at the time of issuing the definitive
certificate of substantial completion as to that part of the work, unless OWNER and
CONTRACTOR shall have otherwise agreed in writing. OWNER shall have the right to
exclude CONTRACTOR from any part of the work which ENGINEER has so certified to
be substantially complete, but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to
complete or correct items on the tentative list.

OWNER may take over operation of a facility constituting part of the work, whether or
not it is substantially complete, if such facility is functionally and separately usable;
provided that prior to any such takeover, OWNER and CONTRACTOR have agreed as
to the division of responsibilities between OWNER and CONTRACTOR for security,
operation, safety, maintenance, correction period, heat, utilities, and insurance with
respect to such facility,
14. 10.3 No occupancy of part of the work, or taking over of operations of a facility will be

equipment bills, and other indebtedness connected with the work, for which OWNER or his
property might in any way be responsible, have been paid or otherwise satisfied; and consent of
the surety, if any, to final payment. If any subcontractor, manufacturer, fabricator, supplier, or
distributor fails to furnish a release or receipt in full, CONTRACTOR may furnish a bond or
other collateral satisfactory to OWNER to indemnifY OWNER against any lien,
FINAL PAYMENT AND ACCEPTANCE:
14.13 If, on the basis of ENGINEER'S observation of the work during construction and final inspection,
and ENGINEER'S review of the final application for payment and accompanying documentation,
all as required by contract documents, ENGINEER is satisfied that the work has been completed
and CONTRACTOR has fulfilled all of his obligations under the contract documents,
ENGINEER will, within ten days after receipt of the final application for payment, indicate in
writing his recommendation of payment, and present the application to OWNER for payment.
Thereupon, ENGINEER will give written notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR that the work
