INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
The Invitation For Bids (IFB) consists of the Notice, this Instructions To Bidders, the Bid Form, the
Pre-Bid Question Form, the General Conditions of the Construction Contract, the Supplemental General
Conditions (if any), the Special Conditions (if any), the Forms to be used, and the Scope of Work as
described by the Plans and Specifications, other documents listed in the Specifications, and any addenda
which may be issued, all of which request qualified bidders to submit competitive prices or bids for
providing the described work on the project.
eVA Vendor Registration: The bidder or offeror shall be a registered vendor in eVA. See the attached
eVA Vendor Registration Requirements.
1.
CONDITIONS AT SITE OR STRUCTURE: Bidders shall visit the site and shall be responsible
for ascertaining pertinent local conditions such as location, accessibility, general character of the
site or building, and the character and extent of existing conditions, improvements or work within
or adjacent to the site. Claims, as a result of failure to have done so, will not be considered by the
Owner. See Section 7 of the General Conditions entitled "Conditions at Site."
2.
EXPLANATIONS TO BIDDERS: No oral explanation in regard to the meaning of drawings and
specifications will be made and no oral instructions will be given before the award of the contract.
The Owner shall not be responsible for any conclusions, assumptions or interpretations made by
bidders during the preparation of bids that are contrary to the drawings and specifications and their
clear intent. Discrepancies, conflicts, errors, omissions or doubts as to the meaning of drawings and
specifications shall be communicated in writing to the Architect / Engineer for interpretation.
Bidders must use the "Prebid Question Form" provided in the bid documents. Bidders must so act
to assure that questions reach the Architect/Engineer at least six (6) days prior to the time set for the
receipt of bids to allow a sufficient time for an addendum to reach all bidders before the
submission of their bids. If, however, there are two (2) weeks or less between the first bid
advertisement and the time set for receipt of bids, then bidders must submit questions so that they
reach the A/E no later than three (3) days prior to the time set for receipt of bids. Any interpretation
made will be in the form of an addendum to the specifications which will be forwarded to all
bidders, and its receipt shall be acknowledged by the bidder on Bid Forms. If such discrepancies,
conflicts, errors, omissions or doubts are reasonably apparent or should have been reasonably
apparent to the bidder, and the bidder failed to submit questions to the A/E in the time and manner
required herein and the Contract is awarded to the bidder, then any claims shall be deemed waived
and the bidder shall not be entitled to additional compensation or time, or entitled to sue the Owner
based on such discrepancies, conflicts, errors, omissions, or doubts.
3.
TIME FOR COMPLETION:
(a) "Time for Completion" shall be designated by the Owner on the Invitation for Bids or other
prebid documents and shall mean the number of consecutive calendar days following the
issuance of the Notice to Proceed which the Contractor has to substantially complete all Work
required by the Contract. In some instances, the Time for Completion may be stated in the form
of a Contract Completion Date based on a stipulated date of Notice to Proceed.
Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor shall achieve Final Completion within thirty (30)
days after the date of Substantial Completion.
(b) When the Notice to Proceed is issued, it will state a Contract Completion Date, which has been
set by the Owner based on date of the Notice to Proceed and the Time for Completion.
DGS-30-055
(Rev. 04/13)
CO-7A
Page 2 of 9
(c) The Contractor, in preparing and submitting his bid, is required to take into consideration
normal weather conditions. Normal weather does not mean statistically average weather, but
rather means a range of weather conditions which might be anticipated, (i.e., conditions which
are not extremely unusual). Normal weather conditions shall be determined from the public
historical records available, including the U.S. Department of Commerce, Local Climatological
Data Sheets, Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Environmental Data and Information
Service, National Climatic Center and the National Weather Service. The data sheets to be
used shall be for the locality or localities closest to the site of the work. No additional
compensation will be paid to the Contractor because of adverse weather conditions; however,
an extension of time for abnormal weather will be considered by the Owner as indicated in the
General Conditions.
(d) If the Owner designates the public historical climatological records to be used, the bidder shall
use those records in computing bids. If the Owner requests each bidder to indicate the records
used, each bidder may select the public historical climatological records upon which he will
rely in computing his bid. In the latter situation, each bidder shall designate in the space
provided which of such climatological data records he used when formulating his bid. A
bidder's failure to designate climatological records when submitting a bid shall not disqualify
his bid, but shall constitute a waiver of the right to claim any extension of time as the result of
abnormal weather. In either case, the bid submitted and the time of completion shall be
presumed to have been based upon normal weather derived from the climatological records
used.
4.
PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION OF BIDS:
(a) Bids shall be submitted on the forms furnished, or copies thereof, and shall be signed in ink.
Erasures or other changes in a bid must be explained or noted over the signature of the bidder.
Bids containing any conditions, omissions, unexplained erasures, alterations or items not called
for in the proposal, or irregularities of any kind, may be rejected by the Owner as being
incomplete or nonresponsive.
(b) Each bid must give the complete legal name and full business address of the bidder and be
signed by the bidder, or the bidder's authorized representative, with his usual signature. Bids by
partnerships must be signed in the partnership name by one of the general partners of the
partnership or an authorized representative, followed by the designation/title of the person
signing, and a list of the partners. Bids by joint ventures must be signed in the joint venture
name by one of the joint venturers or an authorized representative of one of the joint venturers,
followed by the designation/title of the person signing, and a list of the joint venturers. Bids by
corporations must be signed with the legal name of the corporation followed by the name of the
state in which it is incorporated and by the signature and title of the person authorized to bind it
in this matter. The name of each person signing shall be typed or printed below the signature.
A signature on a bid by a person who identifies his title as "President," "Secretary," "Agent" or
other designation without disclosing the principal firm, shall be held to be the bid of the
individual signing. When requested by the Owner, satisfactory evidence of the authority of the
officer signing on behalf of the corporation shall be furnished. Trade or fictitious names may
be referenced by using "t/a _ _ _ ," but bids shall be in the legal name of the person or entity
submitting the bid.
(c) Bids with the bid guarantee shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope which shall be marked and
addressed as indicated by the advertisement. If a contract is for one hundred twenty thousand
dollars ($120,000) or more, or if the total value of all construction, removal, repair or
improvements undertaken by the bidder within any twelve-month period is seven hundred fifty
DGS-30-055
CO-7A
(Rev. 04/13)
Page 3 of 9
thousand dollars ($750,000) or more, the bidder is required under Title 54.1, Chapter 11,
Section 1100, Code of Virginia, as amended, to be licensed in Virginia as a "Class A
Contractor." If a contract is for seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500) or more, but less
than one hundred twenty thousand dollars ($120,000), the bidder is required to be licensed in
Virginia as a "Class B Contractor." The bidder shall place on the outside of the envelope
containing the bid and shall place in the bid over his signature whichever of the following
notations is appropriate and insert his Contractor license/registration number:
Licensed Class A Virginia Contractor No. ______________
or
Licensed Class B Virginia Contractor No. ______________
If the bidder is not properly licensed in Virginia at the time the bid is submitted, or if the bidder
fails to provide this information on his bid or on the envelope containing the bid and fails to
promptly provide said Contractor license number to the Owner in writing when requested to do
so before the opening of bids, he shall be deemed to be in violation of Section 54.1-1115 of the
Code of Virginia, as amended, and his bid will not be considered.
(d) The Board for Contractors has interpreted its regulations to mean "a licensed Contractor can
bid on a contract which contains work outside his license classification(s) as long as he
subcontracts those items for which he is not qualified to perform to licensed contractors with
the appropriate License Classification and the work of the second party is incidental to the
contract." Therefore, the Owner may, as a part of determining whether the bidder is
"responsible," require the apparent low bidder to submit a listing of his subcontractors along
with the license number and classification or specialty of each.
(e) The bidder must also place its Employer Identification Number (SSN or FEIN) in the space
provided on the Bid Form.
(f) Every bidder organized as a stock or nonstock corporation, limited liability company, business
trust, or limited partnership or registered as a registered limited liability partnership must be
authorized to transact business in the Commonwealth as a domestic or foreign business entity if
so required by Title 13.1 or Title 50 of the Code of Virginia, as amended, or as otherwise
required by law. Any bidder organized or authorized to transact business in the
Commonwealth pursuant to Title 13.1 or Title 50 must include in its bid the identification
number issued to it by the State Corporation Commission. Any bidder that is not required to be
authorized to transact business in the Commonwealth as a foreign business entity under Title
13.1 or Title 50 or as otherwise required by law shall include in its bid or proposal a statement
describing why the bidder or offeror is not required to be so authorized. A bidder required to be
authorized to transact business in Virginia that fails to provide the required information shall
not receive an award unless a waiver of this requirement and of any administrative policies and
procedures established to implement Section 2.2-4311.2 of the Code of Virginia, as amended, is
granted by the chief executive of the Owner.
If awarded the Contract, the bidder shall not allow its existence to lapse or its certificate of
authority or registration to transact business in the Commonwealth, if so required under Title
13.1 or Title 50, to be revoked or cancelled at any time during the term of the Contract. Doing
so shall be deemed to be a violation of Section 2.2-4311.2 and the bidder understands and
agrees that the Owner may void the Contract if the bidder fails to comply with this provision.

BID GUARANTEE:
(a) Any bid (including the Total Base Bid plus all Additive Bid Items) which exceeds five hundred
thousand dollars ($500,000) shall be accompanied by a Commonwealth of Virginia Standard
Bid Bond, Form CO-10.2, payable to the Owner as obligee in an amount equal to five percent
(5%) of the amount of the bid. For construction contracts in excess of $100,000 but less than
$500,000, where bid bond requirements are waived, prospective contractors shall be
prequalified in accordance with §2.2-4317. A Bid Bond may be required for projects having
bids of less than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) if such requirement is stated in the
Notice of Invitation for Bids. The Bid Bond must be issued by a surety company which is
legally authorized by the Virginia State Corporation Commission to do surety business in the
Commonwealth of Virginia. Such Bid Bond shall guarantee that the bidder will not withdraw
his bid during the period of thirty (30) days following the opening of bids; that if his bid is
accepted, he will enter into a formal contract with the Owner in accordance with the Contract
Between Owner and Contractor, Form CO-9, included as a part of the IFB Documents; that he
will submit a properly executed and authorized Standard Performance Bond and Standard
Labor and Material Payment Bond on the forms included in the IFB documents; and that in the
event of the withdrawal of said bid within said period, or failure to enter into said contract and
give said bonds within ten (10) days after he has received notice of acceptance of his bid, the
bidder shall be liable to the Owner for the difference between the amount specified in said bid
and such larger amount for which the Owner may contract with another party to perform the
work covered by said bid, up to the amount of the bid guarantee. This amount represents the
damage to the Owner on account of the default of the bidder in any particular hereof. See §2.24336 of the Code of Virginia, as amended.
(b) See § 2.2-4338 of the Code of Virginia for provisions allowing alternative forms of bid security
in lieu of a Bid Bond. Forms of Security listed in § 2.2-4338.B must be approved prior to
submission of a Bid on the Bid Receipt date and time to be acceptable as Bid Security.
(c) The Bid Bonds or other bid security will be returned to all except the three lowest bidders after
the formal opening of bids. The remaining Bid Bonds or bid security will be returned to the
bidders after the Owner and the accepted bidder have executed the Contract and the
Performance Bond and the Payment Bond have been approved by the Owner.
(d) If the required Contract and bonds have not been executed within thirty (30) days after the date
of the opening of the bids, then the bond or other bid security of any bidder will be returned
upon his request, provided he has not been notified of the acceptance of his bid prior to the date
of such request.
6.
WITHDRAWAL OR MODIFICATION OF BIDS: Bids may be withdrawn or modified by
written or telefaxed notice received at the designated location from bidders prior to the deadline
fixed for bid receipt. E-mail modifications are not acceptable. The withdrawal or modification may
be made by the person signing the bid or by an individual(s) who is authorized by him on the face
of the bid. Written modifications may be made on the bid form itself, on the envelope in which the
bid is enclosed, or on a separate document. Written modifications, whether the original is delivered
or telefaxed, must be signed by the person making the modification or withdrawal. The
modification must state specifically what is to be modified and by what amount or it must state the
item to be modified and what the corrected amount should be. (e.g. “Deduct $25,000 from Part A
and from the Total Base Bid Amount”; or “Add $23,456 to the Total Base Bid Amount”; or
“Deduct $15,650 from the Additive # 2 amount”. A modification to “Deduct $25,000 from Part A”
will only be applied to Part A and not to the Total Base Bid Amount) Unless otherwise specified
by the Bidder in the modification, the modification will be applied to the TOTAL BASE BID
AMOUNT shown on the Bid Form. (e.g. a modification stating only “Deduct $25,000” which is
properly signed will be deducted from the Total Base Bid Amount shown on the Bid Form)

RECEIPT OF BIDS:
(a) Bids will be received at or before the date and the hour and at the place stipulated in the
Invitation for Bids as may be modified by subsequent Addenda.
(b) It is the responsibility of the bidder to assure that his bid and any bid modifications are
delivered to the place designated for receipt of bids by the date and hour (deadline) set for
receipt of bids. Therefore, it is the bidder’s responsibility to take into account all factors
which may impact on its bid deliverer / courier’s ability to deliver the bid and to
implement whatever actions are necessary to have the bid delivered to the proper bid
receipt location prior to the bid receipt deadline. No bids or bid modifications submitted or
offered after the date and hour designated for receipt of bids will be accepted or considered.
(c) The Bid Officer is the Owner's representative designated to receive bids at the time and place
noted in the IFB and to open the bids received at the appointed time.
(d) The official time used for the receipt of responses is determined by reference to the clock
designated by the Bid Officer. The Bid Officer shall determine when the Bid Receipt
Deadline has arrived and shall announce that the Deadline has arrived and that no further bids
or bid modifications will be accepted. All bids and bid modifications in the possession of the
Bid Officer and his assistants at the time the announcement is completed are deemed to be
timely, whether or not the bid envelope has been physically date/time stamped or otherwise
marked by the time the Bid Officer makes the deadline announcement.
(e) In the event the bid receipt occurs during a period of suspended state business operations, the
receipt and opening will be delayed one business day.
8.
OPENING OF BIDS:
(a) Bids will be opened at the time and place stated in the Invitation for Bids or as modified by
subsequent Addenda, and their contents publicly announced. The Bid Officer shall decide
when the specified time for bid opening has arrived. No responsibility will be attached to any
officer or agent for the premature opening of a bid not properly addressed and identified. Bid
opening shall be no sooner than 24 hours after the time set for receipt of bids.
(b) The provisions of § 2.2-4342 of the Code of Virginia, as amended, shall be applicable to the
inspections of bids received.
(c) In the event the bid opening occurs during a period of suspended state business operations, the
opening will be delayed until the next business day.
9.
ERRORS IN BIDS: A bidder may withdraw his bid from consideration if the price bid was
substantially lower than the other bids due solely to a mistake therein, provided the bid was
submitted in good faith, and the mistake was a clerical mistake as opposed to a judgment mistake,
and was actually due to an unintentional arithmetic error or an unintentional omission of a quantity
of work, labor or material made directly in the compilation of a bid, which unintentional arithmetic
error or unintentional omission can be clearly shown by objective evidence drawn from inspection
of original work papers, documents and materials used in the preparation of the bid sought to be
withdrawn.
In accordance with § 2.2-4330.B.(ii) of the Code of Virginia, the bidder must submit to the Owner
his original work papers, documents and materials used in the preparation of the bid within one day
after the date fixed for submission of bids. Such work papers must be submitted in an envelope or
package separate and apart from the envelope containing the bid and marked clearly as to the
contents and shall be delivered to the Owner by the bidder in person or by registered mail prior to
DGS-30-055
(Rev. 04/13)
CO-7A
Page 6 of 9
the time fixed for the opening of bids and may not be withdrawn until after the two-hour period
(referred to later) has elapsed. The bids shall be opened at the time designated in the IFB, as
amended by addendum. Bid opening is usually one day following the time fixed by the Owner for
the submission of bids, but no sooner. Once the bids have been opened, the bidder shall have two
(2) hours after the opening of bids within which to claim in writing any mistake as defined herein
and withdraw his bid. The Contract shall not be awarded by the Owner until such two-hour period
has elapsed. Such mistake shall be proved only from the original work papers, documents and
materials delivered to the Owner prior to bid opening. This procedure (ii) shall not apply to when
the entire bid is required to be submitted on a unit price basis.
Failure of a bidder to submit his original work papers, documents and materials used in the
preparation of his bid on or before the time, date and place required shall constitute a waiver by that
bidder of his right to withdraw his bid due to a mistake.
No bid may be withdrawn under this section when the result would be the awarding of the Contract
on another bid of the same bidder or of another bidder in which the ownership of the withdrawing
bidder is more than five (5%) percent.
No bidder who is permitted to withdraw a bid shall, for compensation, supply any material or labor
to or perform any subcontract or other work agreement for the person or firm to whom the Contract
is awarded or otherwise benefit, directly or indirectly, from the performance of the project for
which the withdrawn bid was submitted. The person or firm to whom the Contract was awarded
and the withdrawing bidder are jointly liable to the Owner in an amount equal to any compensation
paid to or for the benefit of the withdrawing bidder without such approval.
If a bid is withdrawn under authority of this section, the lowest remaining bid shall be deemed to be
the low bidder on the project.
10.
REJECTION OF BIDS: The Owner reserves the right to cancel the Invitation for Bids, to reject
any and all bids at its sole discretion when such rejection is in the interest of the Owner, or to reject
the bid of any bidder who is determined to be not responsive or not responsible. See § 2.2-4319,
Code of Virginia, as amended.
11.
DETERMINATION OF RESPONSIBILITY
Each bidder shall be prepared, if so requested by the Owner, to present evidence of his experience,
qualifications and financial ability to carry out the terms of the Contract.
Prior to award of the Contract, an evaluation will be made to determine if the low bidder has the
capability, in all respects, to perform fully the contract requirements and the moral and business
integrity and reliability which will assure good faith performance, and who has been prequalified, if
required. Factors to be evaluated include, but are not limited to:
(a) sufficient financial ability to perform the contract as evidenced by the bidder's ability to
obtain payment and performance bonds from an acceptable surety;
(b) appropriate experience to perform the Work described in the bid documents;
(c) any judgments entered against the bidder, or any officers, directors, partners or owners for
breach of a contract for construction;
(d) any substantial noncompliance with the terms and conditions of prior construction contracts
with a public body without good cause where the substantial noncompliance is
documented; or
(e) a conviction of the bidder or any officer, director, partner, project manager, procurement
manager, chief financial officer, or owner in the last five years of a crime relating to
governmental or nongovernmental construction or contracting;
DGS-30-055
(Rev. 04/13)
CO-7A
Page 7 of 9
(f) any current debarment of the contractor, any officer, director or owner, from bidding or
contracting by any public body of any state, any state agency, or any agency of the federal
government.
The Owner reserves the right to disqualify or refuse to accept the bid of any bidder who has been
convicted, or entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, in any federal or state court to any charge
involving any unlawful, corrupt or collusive practice involving a public contract whether federal,
state, or local, or who has been determined in any judicial proceeding to have violated any antitrust,
bid-rigging or collusive practice statute in connection with any public contract, or against whom
such formal criminal prosecution or other judicial proceeding has been initiated.
A bidder who, despite being the apparent low bidder, is determined not to be a responsible bidder
shall be notified in writing in conformance with the procedures in §2.2-4359 of the Code of
Virginia, as amended.
12.
AWARD OF CONTRACT
(a) Basis for Contract Award: The Contract, if awarded, will be awarded to the lowest responsive
and responsible bidder, if any, provided his bid is reasonable and it is in the best interest of the
Owner to accept it and subject to the Owner's right to reject any and all bids and to waive
informality in the bids and in the bidding. The Bid Form contains a multi-part Base Bid and
may contain Additive Bid Items. Determination of the lowest responsible bidder, if any, will be
based on the Total Base Bid
Amount entered on the Bid Form including any properly submitted bid modifications plus as
many Additive Bid Items taken in sequence as the Owner in its discretion chooses to Award.
Where the sum of the values entered in the multiple parts do not agree with the Total
Base Bid amount, the Total Base Bid amount entered on the bid form, including any
properly submitted bid modifications, shall take precedence.
In the event that the Total Base Bid from the lowest responsible bidder exceeds available funds,
the Owner may negotiate the Total Base Bid amount with the apparent low bidder to obtain a
contract price within available funds, pursuant to § 2.2-4318 of the Code of Virginia, as
amended, and Section 12(c) herein.
(b) Informalities: The Owner reserves the right to waive any informality in the bids when such
waiver is in the interest of the Owner.
(c) Negotiation With Lowest Responsible Bidder: If award of a contract to the lowest responsive
and responsible bidder is precluded because of limitations on available funds, under the
provisions of § 2.2-4318 of the Code of Virginia (the Public Procurement Act), the Owner
reserves the right to negotiate the Total Base Bid amount with the lowest responsive,
responsible bidder to obtain a contract price within the available funds. This may involve
changes in either the features or scope of the work include in the Base Bid. Such negotiations
with the apparent low bidder may include reducing the quantity, quality, or other cost saving
mechanisms involving items in the Total Base Bid. Negotiations for Additive Bid Items are
excluded. The Owner shall notify the lowest responsive and responsible bidder that such a
situation exists and the Owner and bidder shall then conduct their negotiations in person, by
mail, by telephone or by any means they find convenient. If an acceptable contract can be
negotiated, the changes to the Invitation for Bid documents agreed upon in the negotiations
shall be summarized in a "Post Bid Modification" and included in the contract. If an acceptable
contract cannot be negotiated, the Owner shall terminate negotiations and reject all bids.

Agency’s Website and/or the DGS central electronic procurement Website. Any bidder or
offeror who desires to protest the award or decision to award a contract shall submit the protest
in writing to the public body no later than ten days after the posting of the Notice of Award or

CONTRACT SECURITY: For contracts which exceed five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000),
the Standard Performance Bond (Form CO-10) and the Standard Labor and Material Payment Bond
(Form CO-10.1) shall be required, as specified in the Invitation for Bids documents. For
construction contracts in excess of $100,000 but less than $500,000, where bid bond requirements
are waived, prospective contractors shall be prequalified in accordance with §2.2-4317. See the
General Conditions and §2.2-4337 and §2.2-4338 of the Code of Virginia, as amended. The Owner
reserves the right to require such bonds for contracts less than five hundred thousand dollars
($500,000). If the Owner so elects, the requirement shall be set forth in the Invitation For Bids.
14.
CERTIFICATION: The bidder, by his signature on the Bid Form, certifies that neither his
organization nor any of its officers, directors, partners or owners is currently barred from bidding
on contracts by any Agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia, or any public body or agency of
another state, or any agency of the federal government. See the statement "Disqualification of
Contractors" in the Bid Form.
15.

contained in Title 2.2, Chapter 43, Article 6, §2.2-4367 et seq., Code of Virginia, as amended,
pertaining to bidders, offerers, contractors, and subcontractors are applicable to this project.
16.
BUILDING PERMITS: Because this is a Project of the Commonwealth of Virginia, codes or
zoning ordinances of local political subdivisions do not apply. However, the Virginia Uniform
Statewide Building Code shall apply to the Work and shall be administered by the Building Official
for State-owned Buildings. The Building Permit will be obtained and paid for by the Owner. All
other permits, local license fees, business fees, taxes, or similar assessments imposed by the
appropriate political subdivision shall be obtained and paid for by the Contractor. See Section 25 of
the General Conditions for utility connection fees and services.
17.
MINORITY UTILIZATION: It is the policy of the Commonwealth of Virginia to contribute to
the establishment, preservation, and strengthening of minority business enterprises and to
encourage the participation of minority businesses in State procurement activities. Towards that

DEFINITIONS
Whenever used in these General Conditions of the Construction Contract ("General Conditions") or in the
Contract Documents, the following terms have the meanings indicated, which are applicable to both the
singular and plural and the male and female gender thereof:
Agency: The Agency, institution or department which is a party to the Contract. For purposes of the
Contract, the term Owner shall include such Agency, whether or not the Agency owns the site or the
building.
Architect, Engineer, Architect/Engineer or A/E: The term used to designate the Architect and/or the
Engineer that contracts with the Owner to provide the Architectural and Engineering services for the
Project. The A/E is a separate contractor and not an agent of the Owner. The term includes any associates
or consultants employed by the A/E to assist in providing the A/E services.
Beneficial Occupancy: The condition after Substantial Completion but prior to Final Completion of the
Project at which time the Project, or portion thereof, is sufficiently complete and systems operational such
that the Owner could, after obtaining necessary approvals and certificates, occupy and utilize the space for
its intended use. Guarantees and warranties applicable to that portion of the Work begin on the date the
Owner accepts the Project, or a portion thereof, for such Beneficial Occupancy, unless otherwise specified
in the Supplemental General Conditions or by separate agreement.
Change Order: A document (Form CO-11) issued on or after the effective date of the Contract Between
Owner and Contractor (Form CO-9) which is agreed to by the Contractor and approved by the Owner, and
which authorizes an addition, deletion or revision in the Work, including any adjustment in the Contract
Price and/or the Contract Completion Date. The term Change Order shall also include written orders to
proceed issued pursuant to Section 38 (a) (3). A Change Order, once signed by all parties, is incorporated
into and becomes a part of the Contract.
Code of Virginia: 1950 Code of Virginia as amended. Sections of the Code referred to herein are noted
by § xx-xx.
Construction: The term used to include new construction, reconstruction, renovation, restoration, major
repair, demolition and all similar work upon buildings and ancillary facilities, including any draining,
dredging, excavation, grading or similar work upon real property.
Contract: The Contract Between Owner and Contractor, Form CO-9, hereinafter referred to as the
Contract.
Contract Completion Date: The date by which the Work must be substantially complete. The Contract
Completion Date is customarily established in the Notice to Proceed, based on the Time for Completion. In
some instances, however, the Contract contains a mandatory Contract Completion Date, which shall be
stated in the Invitation for Bid or Request for Proposal, as applicable.
Contract Documents: The Contract between Owner and Contractor (Form CO-9) signed by the Owner
and the Contractor and any documents expressly incorporated therein. Such incorporated documents
customarily include the bid submitted by the Contractor, these General Conditions, any Supplemental
General Conditions, any Special Conditions, the plans and the specifications, and all modifications,
including addenda and subsequent Change Orders.
Contract Price: The total compensation payable to the Contractor for performing the Work, subject to
modification by Change Order.
Contractor: The person with whom the Owner has entered into a contractual agreement to do the Work on
this project.

Building Permit, or a date mutually agreed to between the Owner and Contractor in writing, whichever is
the latest.
Day(s): Calendar day(s) unless otherwise noted.
Defective: An adjective which, when modifying the word Work, refers to Work that is unsatisfactory,
faulty, deficient, does not conform to the Contract Documents or does not meet the requirements of
inspections, standards, tests or approvals required by the Contract Documents, or Work that has been
damaged prior to the A/E's recommendation of Final Payment (unless responsibility for the protection
thereof has been assumed by Owner at Substantial Completion or Beneficial Occupancy).
Drawing: A page or sheet of the Plans which presents a graphic representation, usually drawn to scale,
showing the technical information, design, location, and dimensions of various elements of the Work. The
graphic representations include, but are not limited to, plan views, elevations, transverse and longitudinal
sections, large and small scale sections and details, isometrics, diagrams, schedules, tables and/or pictures.
Emergency: Any unforeseen situation, combination of circumstances, or a resulting state that poses
imminent danger to health, life or property.

according to the provisions of Subsection 42, or the Owner’s determination that no compensation for
termination is due the Contractor under Subsection 42, as the case may be.
Float: The excess time included in a construction schedule to accommodate such items as inclement
weather and associated delays, equipment failures, and other such unscheduled events. It is the contingency
time associated with a path or chain of activities and represents the amount of time by which the early

completion of the Project. Any difference in time between the Contractor's approved early completion date
and the Contract Completion Date shall be considered a part of the Project float.
Float, Free: The time (in days) by which an activity may be delayed or lengthened without impacting upon
the start day of any activity following in the chain.
Float, Total: The difference (in days) between the maximum time available within which to perform an

acceptable for the Project, such Notice shall be transmitted to the Fax number or e-mail address listed in the
agreement and shall have a designated space for the Fax or e-mail Notice recipient to acknowledge his
receipt by authorized signature and date. The Fax or e-mail Notice with authorized signature
acknowledging receipt shall be Faxed or e-mailed back to the sender. The Faxed or e-mailed Notice shall
be effective on the date it is acknowledged by authorized signature. All Faxed or e-mailed Notices shall
also be sent by hard copy, which shall be effective upon delivery, as provided herein. Notice shall be
effective upon the date of acknowledgment of the Faxed or e-mailed Notice or the date of delivery,
whichever occurs first.
Notice to Proceed: A written notice given by the Owner to the Contractor (with a copy to A/E) fixing the
date on which the Contract time will commence for the Contractor to begin the prosecution of the Work in

to document and maintain records of activities at the Site to the extent required by the Owner. The Owner
shall notify the Contractor in writing of the appointment of such Project Inspector(s). The scope of the
Project Inspector's authority with respect to the Contractor is limited to that indicated in Section 16 (e) and
(f) and as supplemented by the Owner in writing to the Project Inspector and to the Contractor.
Project Manager: The Project Manager as used herein shall be the Owner's designated representative on
the Project. The Project Manager shall be the person through whom the Owner generally conveys written
decisions and notices. All notices due the Owner and all information required to be conveyed to the Owner
shall be conveyed to the Project Manager. The scope of the Project Manager's authority is limited to that
authorized by the Owner, who shall provide written information to the Contractor at the Preconstruction
meeting defining those limits. Upon receipt of such information, the Contractor shall be on notice that it
cannot rely on any decisions of the Project Manager outside the scope of his authority. Nothing herein shall
be construed to prevent the Owner from issuing any notice directly to the Contractor. The Owner may
change the Project Manager from time to time and may, in the event that the Project Manager is absent,
disabled or otherwise temporarily unable to fulfill his duties, appoint an interim Project Manager.

b.
The Contractor, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on
behalf of the contractor, will state that such Contractor is an equal opportunity

TIME FOR COMPLETION
(a)
The Time for Completion shall be designated by the Owner on the Invitation for Bids, Request for
Proposals, or other prebid/proposal documents. In some instances, the Time for Completion may
be stated on the Invitation for Bids, Request for Proposals, or other prebid/pre-proposal document
in the form of a Contract Completion Date. The Work must be substantially completed by the
Time for Completion or the Contract Completion Date. Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor
shall achieve Final Completion within thirty (30) days after the date of Substantial Completion.
(b)
The Time for Completion shall be stated in the Contract between Owner and Contractor and shall

facilities to be constructed and for all other purposes. If the Contractor fails to substantially
complete the Work within the Time for Completion or Contract Completion Date, as set forth in
the Contract, he shall be subject to payment of actual damages incurred by the Owner or liquidated
damages, if provided for in the Contract.
(c)
The Contractor, in submitting his bid or proposal, acknowledges that he has taken into
consideration normal weather conditions. Normal weather does not mean statistically average
weather, but rather means a range of weather patterns which might be anticipated based on
weather data for the past ten (10) years, (i.e., conditions which are not extremely unusual). Normal
weather conditions shall be determined from the public historical records available, including the
U.S. Department of Commerce, Local Climatological Data Sheets, National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration / Environmental Data and Information Service, National Climatic
Center and National Weather Service. The data sheets to be used shall be those for the locality or
localities closest to the site of the work. No additional compensation will be paid to the Contractor
because of adverse weather conditions; however, an extension of time for abnormal weather will
be considered by the Owner under the following conditions, all of which must be strictly complied
with by the contractor:
(1)
The request for additional time shall be further substantiated by weather data collected
during the period of delay at the Site. Said data must demonstrate that an actual departure
from normal weather occurred at the Site during the dates in question.
(2)
The extension requested must be supported by a delay in completion of the entire Project
shown on the critical path of the accepted CPM Schedule or the approved bar graph
schedule required for the Project. Extensions will be granted only for delays in
completion of the Project, not for that portion of any delay which consumes only "float"
time.
(3)
A request for extension of time based on abnormal weather must be made in writing
within fourteen (14) calendar days of the completion of the calendar month during which
abnormal weather is claimed at the Site.
(4)
All of the evidence and data supporting the request (including both historical data and the
recordings at the Site during the time of delay) must be furnished to the Owner before
any consideration will be given to the request. That supporting data shall be submitted by
the end of the calendar month following the month for which the request is made.

(d)
The failure by the Contractor to comply with any and all of the conditions in (c) above shall
constitute a waiver of claims for the extension of time for abnormal weather.
(e)
The Contractor represents and agrees that he has taken into account in his bid the requirements of
the bid documents, the Contract Documents, local conditions, availability of materials, equipment,
and labor, and any other factors which may affect the performance of the Work. The Contractor
agrees and warrants that he will achieve Substantial Completion of the Work to allow the Owner
to have Beneficial Occupancy not later than the Time for Completion or Contract Completion
Date. The Contractor agrees and warrants that he will achieve Final Completion of the Work (the
entire completion of all Work, including "punch list" items), not later than thirty (30) days after
achieving Substantial Completion.
CONDITIONS AT SITE
(a)
The Contractor shall have visited the Site prior to bidding or submitting its proposal and is totally
responsible for having ascertained pertinent local conditions such as location, accessibility and
general character of the Site, and the character and extent of existing conditions, improvements
and work within or adjacent to the Site. Claims, which result from the Contractor's failure to do so,
will be deemed waived.
(b)
If, in the performance of the Contract, hidden physical conditions of a building being modified are
exposed revealing unusual or materially different conditions from those ordinarily encountered or
inherent in work of this nature, or if subsurface or latent conditions at the Site are found which are
materially different from those frequently present in the locality or from those indicated in the
Contract Documents, the Contractor must report such conditions to the Owner and to the
Architect/Engineer before the conditions are disturbed. Upon such notice, or upon his own
observation of such conditions, the Architect/Engineer shall promptly propose such changes in the
Contract Documents as he finds necessary to conform to the different conditions. Any change in
the cost of the Work or additional time needed for completion must be requested pursuant to
Sections 38, 39 and/or 43 of these General Conditions.
(c)
If the Contractor, during the course of the Work, observes the existence of any material which he
knows, should know, or has reason to believe is hazardous to human health, the Contractor shall
promptly notify the Owner. The Owner will provide the Contractor with instructions regarding the
disposition of the material. The Contractor shall not perform any Work involving the material or
any Work causing the material to be less accessible prior to receipt of special instructions from the
Owner.

For contracts with a value exceeding five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), the Contractor
shall deliver to the Owner or its designated representative, a Commonwealth of Virginia Standard
Performance Bond, DGS-30-084 (Form CO-10) and a Commonwealth of Virginia Standard Labor
and Material Payment Bond, DGS-30-088 (Form CO-10.1) each fully executed by the Contractor
and one or more surety companies legally licensed to do business in Virginia and each in an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the accepted bid or proposal. If more than one
Surety executes a bond, each shall be jointly and severally liable to the Owner for the entire
amount of the bond. Sureties shall be selected by the Contractor, subject to approval by the
Owner. No payment on the Contract shall be due and payable to the Contractor until the bonds
have been approved by the Owner and the Office of the Attorney General of Virginia. In order to
facilitate review of the bonds by the Office of the Attorney General, the power of attorney from
the surety company to its agent who executes the bond shall be attached to the bond, or, if not so
attached, prior to the execution of the bonds by the surety, recorded in the Office of the Clerk of

(b)
For the purposes of all Standard Labor and Material Payment Bonds entered into, the term
"subcontractors" as used in § 2.2-4337(A)(2) of the Code of Virginia is interpreted to mean any
contractors who participated in the prosecution of the Work undertaken by the Contractor (referred
to in § 2.2-4337(A)(2) of the Code of Virginia as the "prime contractor"), whether such contractor
had a direct contract with the Contractor (prime contractor) or whether there were one or more
other intervening Subcontractors contractually positioned between it and the Contractor (prime
contractor).
(c)
See § 2.2-4338 of the Code of Virginia, for alternative forms of security for payment and/or
performance bonds.
(d)
For contracts with a value of less than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), the Contractor
will not be required to provide a Standard Performance Bond and a Standard Labor and Material
Payment Bond as described above unless the Invitation for Bid or Request for Proposal states that
such bonds will be required.
SUBCONTRACTS
(a)
The Contractor shall, as soon as practicable after the signing of the Contract, notify the Owner and
Architect/Engineer in writing of the names of all Subcontractors proposed for the principal parts of
the Work and of such others as the Architect/Engineer may direct. Where the specifications
establish qualifications or criteria for Subcontractors, manufacturers, or individuals performing
Work on the Project, the Contractor shall be responsible for ascertaining that those proposed meet
the criteria or qualifications. The Contractor shall not employ any Subcontractor that the Owner
may, within a reasonable time, object to as unsuitable. Neither the Owner nor the
Architect/Engineer shall direct the Contractor to contract with any particular Subcontractor unless
provided in the specifications or Invitation for Bids or Request for Proposal.
(b)
The Owner may select a particular Subcontractor for a certain part of the Work and designate on
the Invitation for Bids or Request for Proposal that the Subcontractor shall be used for the part of
the Work indicated and that the Subcontractor has agreed to perform the Work for the subcontract
amount stipulated on the bid or Proposal form. The Contractor shall include the stipulated amount
plus his Contractor markups in the bid or Proposal. In such case, the Contractor shall be
responsible for that Subcontractor and its work and the Subcontractor shall be responsible to the
Contractor for its work just as if the Contractor had selected the Subcontractor. If the Contractor
has a reasonable objection to the Subcontractor being assigned, then the Contractor shall note the
exception in his bid or proposal and the reason for the exception and maintain appropriate
provisions for coordinating the work of the Subcontractor. The Owner, at its sole discretion, may
accept the Contractor’s bid or proposal with the exception noted and contract separately with the
Subcontractor under the provisions Section 10 of the contract or assign a different Subcontractor.

(c)
The Owner shall, on request, furnish to any Subcontractor, if practicable, the amounts of payments
made to the Contractor, the Schedule of Values and Requests for Payment submitted by the
Contractor and any other documentation submitted by the Contractor which would tend to show
what amounts are due and payable by the Contractor to the Subcontractor.
(d)
The Contractor shall be fully responsible to the Owner for all acts and omissions of his agents and
employees and all succeeding tiers of Subcontractors and Suppliers performing or furnishing any
of the Work. Nothing in the Contract Documents shall create any contractual relationship between
Owner or Architect/Engineer and any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person or
organization, nor shall it create any obligation on the part of Owner or Architect/Engineer to pay
for or to see to the payment of any moneys due any such Subcontractor, Supplier or other person
or organization, except as may otherwise be required by law.
(e)
The Contractor shall be fully responsible for his invitees at the Site and for those of his
Subcontractors, Suppliers, and their employees, including any acts or omissions of such invitees.
(f)
The Contractor agrees that he alone is responsible for all dealings with his Subcontractors and
Suppliers, and their subcontractors, employees and invitees, including, but not limited to, the
Subcontractors' or Suppliers' claims, demands, actions, disputes and similar matters unless
specifically provided otherwise by the Contract or by statute.
SEPARATE CONTRACTS
(a)
The Owner reserves the right to let other contracts in connection with the Project, the Work under
which may proceed simultaneously with the execution of this Contract. The Contractor shall
afford other separate contractors reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of their
materials and the execution of their work. The Contractor shall cooperate with them and shall take
all reasonable action to coordinate his Work with theirs. If the Owner has listed other separate
contracts in the Invitation for Bids or Requests for Proposal which it expects to proceed
simultaneously with the Work of the Contractor, and has included the estimated timing of such
other Contracts in the Invitation for Bids or Requests for Proposal, the Contractor shall integrate
the schedule of those separate contracts into his scheduling. The Contractor shall make every
reasonable effort to assist the Owner in maintaining the schedule for all separate contracts. If the
work performed by the separate contractor is defective or performed so as to prevent or threaten to
prevent the Contractor from carrying out his Work according to the Contract, the Contractor shall
immediately notify the Owner and the Architect/Engineer upon discovering such conditions.
(b)
If a dispute arises between the Contractor and any separate contractor(s) as to their responsibility
for cleaning up as required by Sections 31 (c) and 31 (d) of these General Conditions, the Owner
may clean up and charge the cost thereof to the respective contractors in proportion to their
responsibility. If a Contractor disputes the Owner's apportionment of clean-up costs, it shall be
that contractor's burden to demonstrate and prove the correct apportionment.
CONTRACTOR'S AND SUBCONTRACTOR'S INSURANCE
(a)
The Contractor shall not commence Work under this Contract until he has obtained all the
insurance required hereunder from an insurer authorized to do business in Virginia and such
insurance has been approved by the Owner; nor shall the Contractor allow any Subcontractor to
commence Work on his subcontract until the same types of insurance in an appropriate amount
have been obtained by the Subcontractor and approved by the Contractor. Approval of insurance
by the Owner shall not relieve or decrease the liability of the Contractor hereunder.
(b)
The Contractor shall take out, and shall maintain in force at all times during the performance of
the Work, Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability Insurance for all of his employees
13

engaged in the Work in an amount not less than the minimum required by §§ 2.2-4332 and 65.2100 et seq. of the Code of Virginia. In case any of the Work is sublet, the Contractor shall require
each Subcontractor similarly to provide Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability
Insurance for all of the latter's employees to be engaged in the Work. Prior to award of the
Contract, the Contractor shall submit, on the form provided by the Owner, a Certificate of
Coverage verifying Workers' Compensation. The Contractor shall likewise obtain a Certificate of
Coverage for Workers' Compensation coverage from each subcontractor prior to awarding the
subcontract and shall provide a copy to the Owner.
12.
(c)
During the performance of the Work under this Contract, the Contractor shall maintain
commercial general liability insurance to include Premises / Operations Liability, Products and
Completed Operations Coverage, Independent Contractor's Liability, Owner's and Contractor's
Protective Liability, and Personal Injury Liability, which shall insure him against claims of
personal injury, including death, as well as against claims for property damage, which may arise
from operations under this Contract, whether such operations be by himself or by any
Subcontractor, or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by either of them. The amounts of
general liability insurance shall be not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000
aggregate combined limit. The Commonwealth of Virginia, its officers, employees and agents,
shall be named as an additional insured with respect to the Work being procured. The
Supplemental General Conditions may require the Contractor to provide an Umbrella insurance
policy in a specified amount for the Project.
(d)
During the performance of the Work under this Contract, the Contractor shall maintain automobile
liability insurance which shall insure him against claims of personal injury, including death, as
well as against claims for property damage, which may arise from operations under this Contract,
whether such operations be by himself or by any Subcontractor, or by anyone directly or indirectly
employed by either of them. The amounts of automobile insurance shall be not less than
$1,000,000 combined limit for bodily injury and property damage per occurrence.
(e)
The Asbestos Contractor or Subcontractor, as the case may be, shall provide occurrence-based
liability insurance with asbestos coverages in an amount not less than $1,000,000 and shall name
the following as additional insureds: The Commonwealth of Virginia, its officers, its employees
and its agents; the Architect/Engineer (if not the Asbestos Project Designer); and the Contractor
(where the asbestos work is being performed by the Asbestos Subcontractor).
"ALL RISK" BUILDER'S RISK INSURANCE
(a)
The Contractor, at his cost, shall obtain and maintain in the names of the Owner and the
Contractor "all-risk" builder's risk insurance (or fire, extended coverage, vandalism and malicious
mischief insurance, if approved by the Owner and the Director, Division of Engineering and
Buildings) upon the entire structure or structures on which the Work of this Contract is to be done
and upon all material in or adjacent thereto which is intended for use thereon, to one hundred
percent (100%) of the insurable value thereof. Such insurance may include a deductible provision
if the Owner so provides in the Supplemental General Conditions, in which case the Contractor
will be liable for such deductions, whenever a claim arises. The loss, if any, is to be made
adjustable with and payable to the Owner, in accordance with its interests, as they may appear.
The Owner, its officers, employees and its agents, shall be named as an additional insured in any
policy of insurance issued. Written evidence of the insurance shall be filed with the Owner no later
than thirty (30) days following the award of the Contract. In the event of cancellation of this
insurance, not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice must be sent to the Owner. A copy of
the policy of insurance shall be given to the Owner upon demand.
(b)
The value of the builder's risk insurance shall exclude the costs of excavations, backfills,
foundations, underground utilities and Sitework.

(c)
The Owner maintains insurance coverage on its buildings. On re-roofing, renovation, and interior
modifications of existing building projects where the Owner continues to occupy the building, or a
portion thereof, while the Work is being performed, the Contractor shall provide “all risk” builders
risk insurance, as described above, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the
Contract Price for the Work. In those instances, the Contract between the Owner and Contractor
for the project shall expressly exclude the project from the requirements of Subsection 12(a). The
Contractor is responsible for providing any desired coverage for Contractor's or Subcontractors'
buildings, equipment, materials, tools or supplies that are on-site.
(d)
Any insurance provided through the Department of Treasury, Division of Risk Management, on
buildings, construction, additions or renovations will not extend to Contractor's nor
Subcontractors' buildings, equipment, materials, tools or supplies unless these items are to become
property of the Owner upon completion of the Project and the Owner has assumed responsibility
for such items at the time of the loss.
TAXES, FEES AND ASSESSMENTS
The Contractor shall, without additional expense to the Owner, pay all applicable federal, state, and local
taxes, fees, and assessments except the taxes, fees and assessments on the real property comprising the Site
of the project. If the State Building Official elects to have the local building official inspect the Work as
provided by §36-98.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Owner shall pay the resulting fees to the local building
official.
14.
PATENTS
The Contractor shall obtain all licenses necessary to use any invention, article, appliance, process or
technique of whatever kind and shall pay all royalties and license fees. The Contractor shall hold the
Owner, its officers, agents and employees, harmless against any loss or liability for or on account of the
infringement of any patent rights in connection with any invention, process, technique, article or appliance
manufactured or used in the performance of the Contract, including its use by the Owner, unless such
invention, process, technique, article or appliance is specifically named in the specifications or plans as
acceptable for use in carrying out the Work. If, before using any invention, process, technique, article or
appliance specifically named in the specifications or plans as acceptable for use in carrying out the Work,
the Contractor has or acquires information that the same is covered by letters of patent making it necessary
to secure the permission of the patentee, or other, for the use of the same, he shall promptly advise the
Owner and the Architect/Engineer. The Owner may direct that some other invention, process, technique,
article or appliance be used. Should the Contractor have reason to believe that the invention, process,
technique, article or appliance so specified is an infringement of a patent, and fail to inform the Owner and
the Architect/Engineer, he shall be responsible for any loss or liability due to the infringement.
15.
ARCHITECT/ENGINEER'S STATUS
(a)
The Architect/Engineer shall have authority to endeavor to secure the faithful performance by
Owner and Contractor of the Work under the Contract. He shall review the Contractor's Submittals
for conformance to the requirements of the Contract Documents and return copies to the
Contractor with appropriate notations. He shall interpret the requirements of the plans and
specifications and issue Field Orders to the Contractor as may be required. He shall recommend to
the Owner suspension of the Work (in whole or in part) whenever such suspension may be
necessary to ensure the proper execution of the Contract. He shall have authority to reject, in
writing, Work, including material, installation or workmanship, which does not conform to the
requirements of the plans and specifications. He shall determine the progress and quality of the
Work, subject to the right of the Owner to make an overriding decision to the contrary. Upon
request by the Contractor, the Architect/Engineer shall confirm, in writing within fourteen (14)
days, any oral order or determination made by him.

(04/13)
CO-7
(b)
The Architect/Engineer shall have no authority to approve or order changes in the Work which
alter the design concept or which call for an extension of time or a change in the Contract Price.
(c)
Although the Owner is bound by the terms of the Contract with the Contractor, including the plans
and specifications, the Owner shall have the right, but not the duty, to countermand any decision
of the Architect/Engineer and to follow or reject the advice of the Architect/Engineer, including
but not limited to acceptance of the Work, as it deems best. In those instances where the
Architect/Engineer has been given authority to act, the Architect/Engineer shall promptly do so,
but in the case of disagreement between the Architect/Engineer and the Owner, the decision of the
Owner shall be final. The Contractor shall not be bound by any determination, interpretation or
decision of the Architect/Engineer, if it is later determined that the same is not in accord with the
Contract Documents. The party taking issue with the determination, interpretation or decision of
the Architect/Engineer shall give the other party written notice of such fact within fourteen (14)
days after the determination, interpretation or decision is communicated by the
Architect/Engineer. In the actual performance of the Work, however, the Contractor shall, in the
first instance, proceed in accordance with instructions given by the Architect/Engineer unless the
Owner and the Contractor mutually agree that the Contractor shall proceed otherwise.
(d)
All orders from the Owner to the Contractor shall either be transmitted through the
Architect/Engineer or communicated directly to the Contractor and the Architect/Engineer by the
Owner.
(e)
Should the Owner choose to employ another or different Architect/Engineer, the status of the
Architect/Engineer so employed shall be the same as that of the former Architect/Engineer.
(f)
The Architect/Engineer will provide to the Owner and the Contractor after each visit to the Site, a
written report indicating the date, time of day, weather conditions and the names of the persons
representing the Architect/Engineer who participated in the visit. The report will advise the Owner
of any problems that were noted and shall compare the Architect/Engineer's observations of the
actual progress of the Work with that reported by the Contractor. On the basis of his on-Site
observations as Architect/Engineer, he will make every reasonable effort to guard the Owner
against defects and deficiencies in the Work of the Contractor. He shall have the authority to
inspect the Work, to note and report Defective Work and deviations from the Contract Documents
to the Owner, to reject same, and to recommend to the Owner the suspension of the Work when
necessary to prevent Defective Work from proceeding or being covered.
The Architect/Engineer shall not be responsible for construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences or procedures (other than those expressly specified in Contract Documents), or for
safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work, and he shall not be responsible for
the Contractor's failure to carry out the Contractor's own responsibilities.
(g)
(h)
The Architect/Engineer generally conveys written decisions and notices to the Contractor through
the Project Manager and shall generally receive information and Notices from the Contractor
through the Project Manager unless otherwise agreed. The Owner may delegate from the
Architect/Engineer to the Project Manager certain inspection, verification, acceptance, rejection,
and administrative duties and authority, but any such delegation shall be in writing and a copy
thereof provided to the Contractor.
(i)
The provisions of this section are included as information only to describe the relationship
between the Owner, A/E, and Contractor. No failure of the A/E to act in accordance with this
section shall relieve the Contractor from his obligations under the Contract or create any rights in
favor of the Contractor.

INSPECTION
(a)
All material and workmanship shall be subject to inspection, examination and testing by the
Owner, the Architect/Engineer, the Project Inspector, authorized inspectors and authorized
independent testing entities at any and all times during manufacture and/or construction. The
Architect/Engineer and the Owner shall have authority to reject defective material and
workmanship and require its correction. Rejected workmanship shall be satisfactorily corrected
and rejected material shall be satisfactorily replaced with proper material without charge therefor,
and the Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove the rejected material from the Site. If the
Contractor fails to proceed at once with replacement of rejected material and/or the correction of
defective workmanship, the Owner may, by contract or otherwise, replace such material and/or
correct such workmanship and charge the cost to the Contractor, or may terminate the right of the
Contractor to proceed as provided in Section 41 of these General Conditions, the Contractor and
surety being liable for any damage to the same extent as provided in Section 41 for termination
thereunder.
(b)
Site inspections, tests conducted on Site or tests of materials gathered on Site, which the Contract
requires to be performed by independent testing entities, shall be contracted and paid for by the
Owner. Examples of such tests are the testing of cast-in-place concrete, foundation materials, soil
compaction, pile installations, caisson bearings and steel framing connections. The Contractor
shall promptly furnish, without additional charge, all reasonable facilities, labor and materials
necessary and convenient for making such tests. Except as provided in (d) below, whenever such
examination and testing finds defective materials, equipment or workmanship, the Contractor shall
reimburse the Owner for the cost of reexamination and retesting. Although conducted by
independent testing entities, the Owner will not contract and pay for tests or certifications of
materials, manufactured products or assemblies which the Contract, codes, standards, etc., require
to be tested and/or certified for compliance with industry standards such as Underwriters
Laboratories, Factory Mutual or ASTM. If fees are charged for such tests and certifications, they
shall be paid by the Contractor. The Contractor shall also pay for all inspections, tests, and
certifications which the Contract specifically requires him to perform or to pay, together with any
inspections and tests which he chooses to perform for his own purposes, but are not required by
the Contract.
(c)
Where Work is related to or dependent on the Defective Work, the Contractor shall stop such
related or dependent Work until the Defective Work or deficiency is corrected or an alternative
solution is presented that is satisfactory to the Owner. Where Work is rejected because of
defective material or workmanship, the Contractor shall stop like Work in other areas or locations
on the Project until the matter is resolved and the Owner has approved corrective measures.
(d)
Should it be considered necessary or advisable by Owner or the Architect/Engineer at any time
before final acceptance of the entire Work to make an examination of any part of the Work already
completed, by removing or tearing out portions of the Work, the Contractor shall on request
promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor and material to expose the Work to be tested to the
extent required. If such Work is found to be defective in any respect, due to the fault of the
Contractor or his Subcontractors, the Contractor shall bear all the expenses of uncovering the
Work, of examination and testing, and of satisfactory reconstruction. If, however, such Work is
found to meet the requirements of the Contract, the actual cost of the Contractor's labor and
material necessarily involved in uncovering the Work, the cost of examination and testing, and
Contractor's cost of material and labor necessary for replacement including a markup of fifteen
(15%) percent for overhead and profit shall be paid to the Contractor and he shall, in addition, if
completion of the Work has been delayed thereby, be granted a suitable extension of time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Contractor shall be responsible for all costs and expenses in
removing and replacing the Work if the Contractor had covered the Work prior to any inspection
or test contrary to the instructions of the A/E, Owner or Project Inspector.

(04/13)
CO-7
(e)
The Project Inspector has the authority to recommend to the Architect/Engineer and the Owner
that the Work be suspended when in his judgment the Contract Documents are not being followed.
Any such suspension shall be continued only until the matter in question is resolved to the
satisfaction of the Owner. The cost of any such Work stoppage shall be borne by the Contractor
unless it is later determined that no fault existed in the Contractor's Work.
(f)
The Project Inspector has the right and the authority to:

(h)
(1)
Inspect all construction materials, equipment, and supplies for quality and for compliance
with the Contract Documents and/or approved shop drawings and Submittals.
(2)

Do all things for or on behalf of the Owner as the Owner may subsequently direct in
writing.
The Project Inspector has no authority to:
(1)
Authorize deviations from the Contract Documents;
(2)
Enter into the area of responsibility of the Contractor's superintendent;
(3)
Issue directions relative to any aspect of construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences or procedures, or in regard to safety precautions and programs in connection
with the Work;
(4)
Authorize or suggest that the Owner occupy the Project, in whole or in part; or
(5)
Issue a certificate for payment.
The duties of the Project Inspector are for the benefit of the Owner only and not for the
Contractor. The Contractor may not rely upon any act, statement, or failure to act on the part of the
Project Inspector, nor shall the failure of the Project Inspector to properly perform his duties in

SUPERINTENDENCE BY CONTRACTOR
(a)
The Contractor shall have a competent foreman or superintendent, satisfactory to the
Architect/Engineer and the Owner, on the Site at all times during the progress of the Work. The
superintendent or foreman shall be familiar with and be able to read and understand the plans and
specifications, and be capable of communicating orally and in writing with the Owner's inspectors
and the Contractor's workers. The Contractor shall be responsible for all construction means,
methods, techniques, sequences and procedures, for coordinating all portions of the Work under
the Contract except where otherwise specified in the Contract Documents, and for all safety and
worker health programs and practices. The Contractor shall notify the Owner, in writing, of any
proposed change in superintendent, including the reason therefor, prior to making such change.
(b)
The Contractor shall, at all times, enforce strict discipline and good order among the workers on
the Project, and shall not employ on the Work, or contract with, any unfit person, anyone not
skilled in the Work assigned to him, or anyone who will not work in harmony with those
employed by the Contractor, the Subcontractors, the Owner or the Owner's separate contractors
and their subcontractors.
(c)
The Owner may, in writing, require the Contractor to remove from the Site any employee or
Subcontractor's employee the Owner deems to be incompetent, careless, not working in harmony
with others on the Site, or otherwise objectionable, but the Owner shall have no obligation to do
so.
CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION, METHODS AND PROCEDURES
(a)
The Contractor shall be solely responsible for supervising and directing the Work competently and
efficiently, devoting such attention thereto and applying such skills and expertise as may be
necessary to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract. The Contractor shall be solely
responsible for the means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures of construction and for
coordinating all portions of the Work under the Contract, except where otherwise specified in the
Contract Documents. However, the Contractor shall not be responsible for the negligence of others
in the design or selection of a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of
construction which is indicated in and required by the Contract. The Contractor is solely
responsible to the Owner that the finished Work complies with the Contract Documents.
The Contractor shall be solely responsible for health and safety precautions and programs for
workers and others in connection with the Work. No inspection by, knowledge on the part of, or
acquiescence by the Architect or Engineer, the Project Inspector, the Owner, the Owner's
employees and agents, or any other entity whatever shall relieve the Contractor from its sole
responsibility for compliance with the requirements of the Contract or its sole responsibility for
health and safety programs and precautions.
(b)
If a specific means, method, technique, sequence or procedure of construction is indicated in or
required by the Contract Documents, the Contractor may furnish or utilize a substitute means,
method, sequence, technique or procedure of construction acceptable to Architect/Engineer,
subject to the Owner's right to disapprove. The Contractor must submit its written request for the
substitution to the Architect/Engineer with sufficient information to allow the Architect/Engineer
to determine that the substitute proposed is equivalent to that indicated or required by the
Contract.

Work to be performed by any specific trade.
SCHEDULE OF THE WORK
(a)
General: The Contractor is responsible for the scheduling and sequencing of the Work, for
coordinating the Work, for monitoring the progress of the Work, and for taking appropriate action
to keep the Work on schedule. The Contractor may attempt to achieve Substantial Completion on
or before the Time for Completion or the Contract Completion Date established by the Contract
and receive payment in accordance with Section 36 for the Work completed each period.
However, the date established by the Contract Documents as the deadline for achieving
Substantial Completion must be used in all schedules as the date on which Substantial Completion
will be achieved. The time (in days) between the Contractor's planned early completion and the
contracted Time for Completion is part of the Project "Total Float" time and will be used as such.
Extensions of time pursuant to Sections 38, 39, and 43, damages for delay, and all other matters
between the Owner and the Contractor will be determined using the contractually required
Substantial Completion date, not an early Substantial Completion date planned by the Contractor.
Within two (2) weeks after the Contractor signs the Contract Between Owner and Contractor,
unless otherwise extended by the Owner at the time of the signing, the Contractor shall prepare
and submit to the Owner, with a copy to the Architect/Engineer, a preliminary bar graph schedule
for accomplishing the Work based upon the Time for Completion stated in the Contract. The
preliminary schedule shall be in sufficient detail to show the sequencing of the various trades for
each floor level, wing or work area. The Owner will notify the Contractor of its acceptance of or
objections to the preliminary schedule within fifteen (15) days of receipt by the Owner. A fully
complete Project schedule for accomplishing the Work must be submitted in like manner no later
than sixty (60) days after the Contract is signed by the Owner.
The Owner's failure to reject or its acceptance of any schedule, graph, chart, recovery schedule,
updated schedule, plan of action, etc. shall not constitute a representation or warranty by the
Owner, including but not limited to a representation or warranty that the schedule is feasible or
practical nor shall any such acceptance or failure to reject relieve the Contractor from sole
responsibility for completing the Work within the time allowed.
No progress payments will be payable to the Contractor until after it has submitted a preliminary
schedule which is acceptable to the Owner. Neither the second progress payment nor any
subsequent payment shall be payable to the Contractor until it has submitted a fully complete
Project schedule accepted by the Owner. Nor shall subsequent progress payments be payable to
the Contractor unless and until he submits the monthly bar graphs or status reports required by
Section 19(d) herein or unless and until he provides any recovery schedule pursuant to Section
19(e) herein.
Failure to provide a satisfactory preliminary or fully complete Project schedule within the time
limits stated above shall be a breach of contract for which the Owner may terminate the Contract
in the manner provided in Section 41 of these General Conditions.
The fully complete Project schedule for accomplishing the Work shall be of the type set forth in
subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as appropriate:
(1)
For Contracts with a price of $1,500,000 or less, a bar graph schedule will satisfy the
above requirement. The schedule shall indicate the estimated starting and completion
dates for each major element of the work. See (b) below.

For Contracts with a price over $1,500,000, a Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule shall
be utilized to control the planning and scheduling of the Work. The CPM schedule shall
be the responsibility of the Contractor and shall be paid for by the Contractor. See (c)
below.
Bar Graph Schedule: Where a bar graph schedule is required, it shall be time-scaled in weekly
increments, shall indicate the estimated starting and completion dates for each major element of
the Work by trade and by area, level, or zone, and shall schedule dates for all salient features,
including but not limited to the placing of orders for materials, submission of shop drawings and
other Submittals for approval, approval of shop drawings by Architect/Engineer, the manufacture
and delivery of material, the testing and the installation of materials, supplies and equipment, and
all Work activities to be performed by the Contractor.
The Contractor shall allow sufficient time in his schedule for the A/E to conduct whatever
associated reviews or inspections as may be required under the A/E's contract with the Owner. If
the A/E and the Contractor are unable to agree as to what constitutes sufficient time, the Owner
shall determine the appropriate duration for such Architect/Engineer activities. Each Work activity
will be assigned a time estimate by the Contractor. One day shall be the smallest time unit used.
It is the Contractor's responsibility to submit a schedule that shows Substantial Completion of the
Work by the Contract Time for Completion or the Contract Completion Date and any interim
deadlines established by the Contract.
(c)
CPM Schedule: Where a CPM schedule is required, it shall be in the time-scaled precedence
format using the Contractor's logic and time estimates. The CPM schedule shall be drawn or
plotted with activities grouped or zoned by Work area or subcontract as opposed to a random (or
scattered) format.
The CPM schedule shall be time-scaled on a weekly basis and shall be drawn or plotted at a level
of detail and logic which will schedule all salient features of the Work, including not only the
actual construction Work for each trade, but also the submission of shop drawings and other
Submittals for approval, approval of shop drawings by Architect/Engineer, placing of orders for
materials, the manufacture and delivery of materials, the testing and installation of materials and
equipment, and all Work activities to be performed by the Contractor. Failure to include any
element of Work required for the performance of this Contract shall not excuse the Contractor
from completing all Work required within the Time for Completion, Contract Completion Date
and any interim deadlines established by the Contract.
The Contractor shall allow sufficient time in his schedule for the A/E to conduct whatever
associated reviews or inspections as may be required under the A/E's contract with the Owner. If
the A/E and the Contractor are unable to agree as to what constitutes sufficient time, the Owner
shall determine the appropriate duration for such Architect/Engineer activities. Each Work activity
will be assigned a time estimate by the Contractor. One day shall be the smallest time unit used.
It is the Contractor's responsibility to submit a schedule that shows Substantial Completion of the
Work by the Contract Time for Completion or the Contract Completion Date and any interim
deadlines established by the Contract.
When completed, the CPM schedule shall be submitted to the Architect/Engineer and the Owner
for review. The CPM schedule will identify and describe each activity, state the duration of each
activity, the calendar dates for the early and late start and the early and late finish of each activity,
and clearly highlight all activities on the critical path. "Total float" and "free float" shall be
indicated for all activities. Float time, whether "free float" or "total float" as defined in Section 1,
shall not be considered for the exclusive use or benefit of either the Owner or the Contractor, but
must be allocated in the best interest of completing the Work within the Time for Completion or
21
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
the Contract Completion Date. Extensions to the Time for Completion or the Contract Completion
Date, when granted by Change Order, will be granted only when equitable time adjustment
exceeds the Total Float in the activity or path of activities affected by the change provided that the
Owner has reasonably provided information necessary to allow for the orderly progression of the
Work. On contracts with a price over $5,000,000, the CPM schedule shall also show what part of
the Contract Price (expressed in U.S. dollars) is attributable to each activity on the schedule and
shall be in agreement with the schedule of values, the sum of which for all activities shall equal
the total Contract Price. The CPM schedule shall have no line-item activities longer than thirty
(30) days in duration, and activities shall be included to provide sufficient detail for effectively
managing the sequence of the Work. When acceptable to the Owner and Architect/Engineer as to
compliance with the requirements of this Section, the schedule shall become the CPM schedule for
the Project. Acceptance of the schedule by the Owner does not indicate agreement with, nor
responsibility for the proposed or actual duration of any activity or logic shown on the accepted
schedule.
(d)
Monthly Project Reports: The Contractor shall review progress not less than each month, but as
often as necessary to properly manage the Project and stay on schedule. The Contractor shall
collect and preserve information on Change Orders, including extensions of time. The Contractor
shall evaluate this information and update the latest accepted schedule as often as necessary to
finish within the Contract Time for Completion or before the Contract Completion Date. The
Contractor shall submit to the A/E along with his monthly request for payment a copy of the bar
graph schedule annotated to show the current progress. For projects requiring a CPM schedule, the
Contractor shall submit a monthly report of the status of all activities. The bar graph schedule or
monthly status report submitted with each periodic request for payment shall show the Work
completed to date in comparison with the Work scheduled for completion, including but not
limited to the dates for the beginning and completion of the placing of orders; the manufacture,
testing and installation of materials, supplies and equipment. The form shall be approved by the
A/E and the Owner; however, a bar graph or a CPM schedule marked, colored or annotated to
reflect the above will usually satisfy this requirement. If any elements of the Work are behind
schedule, regardless of whether they may prevent the Work from being completed on time, the
Contractor must indicate in writing in the report what measures he is taking and plans to take to
bring each such element back on schedule and to ensure that the Time for Completion or Contract
Completion Date is not exceeded.
(e)
Progress Delay: Should any of the following conditions exist, the Owner may require the
Contractor to prepare, at no extra cost to the Owner, a plan of action and a recovery schedule for
completing the Work by the Contract Time for Completion or the Contract Completion Date:
(1)
The Contractor's monthly project report indicates delays that are, in the opinion of the
A/E or the Owner, of sufficient magnitude that the Contractor's ability to complete the
Work by the scheduled Time for Completion or the Contract Completion Date is brought
into question;
(2)
The CPM schedule sorted by early finish shows the Contractor to be thirty (30) or more
days behind the critical path schedule at any time during construction up to thirty (30)
days prior to scheduled Substantial Completion date;
(3)
The Contractor desires to make changes in the logic (sequencing of Work) or the planned
duration of future activities of the CPM schedule which, in the opinion of the
Architect/Engineer or the Owner, are of a major nature.
The plan of action and recovery schedule, when required, shall explain and display how the
Contractor intends to regain compliance with the current accepted, fully completed, Project CPM
schedule, as updated by approved change orders.
22
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
The plan of action, when required, shall be submitted to the Owner for review within two (2)
business days of the Contractor receiving the Owner's written demand. The recovery schedule,
when required, shall be submitted to the Owner within five (5) calendar days of the Contractor's
receiving the Owner's written demand.
(f)
Early Completion of Project: The Contractor may attempt to achieve Substantial Completion on
or before the Time for Completion or the Contract Completion Date. However, such planned early
completion shall be for the Contractor's convenience only and shall not create any additional rights
of the Contractor or obligations of the Owner under this Contract, nor shall it change the Time for
Completion or the Contract Completion Date. The Contractor shall not be required to pay damages
to the Owner because of its failure to achieve Substantial Completion by its planned earlier date.
Likewise, the Owner shall not pay the Contractor any additional compensation for achieving
Substantial Completion early nor will the Owner owe the Contractor any compensation should the
Owner, its officers, employees, or agents cause the Contractor not to achieve Substantial
Completion earlier than the date required by the Contract Documents.
If the Contractor seeks to change the Time for Completion or the Contract Completion Date to
reflect an earlier completion date, he may request or propose such a change. The Owner may, but
is not required to, accept such proposal. However, a change in the Time for Completion or the
Contract Completion Date shall be accomplished only by Change Order. If the Contractor's
proposal to change the Time for Completion or the Contract Completion Date is accepted, a
Change Order will be issued stating that all references in the Contract, including these General
Conditions, to the Time for Completion or the Contract Completion Date shall thereafter refer to
the date as modified, and all rights and obligations, including the Contractor's liability for actual
damages, delay damages and/or liquidated damages, shall be determined in relation to the date, as
modified.
20.
SCHEDULE OF VALUES AND CERTIFICATE FOR PAYMENT
(a)
Before submittal of the first partial payment request under the Contract, the Contractor shall
prepare for review and approval of the Architect/Engineer and the Owner, a schedule of the
estimated values listed by trades or by specification sections of the Work, totaling the Contract
Price. Where the total project has multiple parts or phases, the Contractor shall prepare appropriate
schedules of values to facilitate reviews and justifications for payments.
All requests for payment shall be made in the ASTM Uniformat II structure on the Schedule of
Values and Certificate for Payment (Form CO-12) pages 1 and 2. Succeeding pages may be on the
Form CO-12 continuation sheets or a computerized spreadsheet which is in the same format and
which contains the same information. Where a computerized spreadsheet is used, one copy of the
entire Schedule of Values shall be provided to the Owner in an agreed electronic format (e.g.
EXCEL) with the initial request for payment.
(b)
If the Contractor requests, or intends to request, payment for materials stored in an approved and
secure manner, the Schedule of Values must indicate the amount for labor and the amount for
materials, and in a supplement thereto must include an itemized list of materials for that trade or
Work section. The material breakdown shall be in sufficient detail to allow verification of the
quantities required for the Project, the quantities delivered, the Work completed, and the quantities
stored on or off Site.
(c)
The "Value of Work Completed" portion of the Form CO-12 shall be completed, the Contractor's
certification completed and signed, and the appropriate substantiating material attached to each
Certificate for Payment (CO-12). Such substantiating material includes, but is not limited to,
invoices for materials, delivery tickets, time sheets, payroll records, daily job logs/records, and
23
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
similar materials which, in the opinion of the Owner and the A/E, are necessary or sufficient to
justify payment of the amount requested.
21.
(d)
The labor progress for any task or activity shall be calculated based upon the percentage of Work
complete up to fifty percent (50%) of the completion of the task or activity. Thereafter, the
evaluation of labor progress will be based upon the effort required to complete that task or
activity. The material progress shall be calculated as the invoiced dollar cost of materials used in
relationship to the amount estimated as necessary to complete a particular element of Work. When
calculating material progress, credit shall be given for installed material as well as that stored on
the Site and any material stored off Site which has been certified by the Architect/Engineer in
accordance with Section 36 of these General Conditions.
(e)
Should Work included in previous Form CO-12 submittals, and for which payment has been
made, subsequently be identified, by tests, inspection, or other means, as not acceptable or not
conforming to Contract requirements, the "Value of Work Completed" portion of the first Form
CO-12 submitted after such identification shall be modified to reduce the "completed" value of
that Work by deleting the value of that which has been identified as not acceptable or
nonconforming.
ACCESS TO WORK
The Architect/Engineer, the Owner, the Project Manager, the Owner's inspectors and other testing
personnel, inspectors from the Department of Labor and Industry, and others authorized by the
Owner, shall have access to the Work at all times. The Contractor shall provide proper facilities
for access and inspection.
22.
23.
SURVEYS AND LAYOUT
(a)
The Owner shall furnish the Contractor all necessary documents showing property lines and the
location of existing buildings and improvements. The Contractor shall provide competent
surveying and engineering services to execute the Work in accordance with the Contract and shall
be responsible for the accuracy of these surveying and engineering services.
(b)
The Owner shall provide such general reference points and benchmarks on the Site as will enable
the Contractor to proceed with the Work will be established in the plans and specifications. If the
Contractor finds that any previously established reference points have been lost or destroyed, he
shall promptly notify the Architect/Engineer.
(c)
The Contractor shall protect and preserve the established benchmarks and monuments and shall
make no changes in locations without written notice to the Architect/Engineer and the written
approval from the Owner. Any of these which may be lost or destroyed or which require shifting
because of necessary changes in grades or locations shall, subject to prior written approval of the
Owner, be replaced and accurately located by the Contractor.
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
(a)
The general character and scope of the Work are illustrated by the plans and the specifications. If
the Contractor deems additional detail or information to be needed, he shall request the same in
writing from the Architect/Engineer. His request shall precisely state the detail or information
needed and shall explain why it is needed. The Contractor shall also indicate a date when the
requested information is required. The Architect/Engineer shall provide by Field Order such
further detail and information as is necessary by the date required so long as the date indicated is
reasonable. Any additional drawings and instructions supplied to the Contractor shall be consistent
with the Contract Documents, shall be true developments thereof, and shall be so prepared that
they can be reasonably interpreted as a part thereof. The Contractor shall carry out the Work in
24
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
accordance with the additional detail drawings and instructions at no additional cost or time to the
Owner.
(b)
If the Contractor finds a conflict, error, omission, or other discrepancy in the plans or
specifications, he shall notify the Architect/Engineer in writing as soon as possible, but before
proceeding with the affected Work. The Architect/Engineer shall issue a clarification by Field
Order to the Contractor stating the correct requirements. If the Contractor deems the Field Order
requires additional Work, he shall notify the A/E of such prior to proceeding with that Work and
he shall submit a request for Change Order along with a detailed substantiating cost proposal
through the A/E to the Owner within fourteen (14) calendar days. If such conflict, error, omission
or other discrepancy in plans or specifications was reasonably apparent or with reasonable
diligence should have been apparent to the Contractor prior to submitting its bid or Proposal, and
the Contractor failed to submit questions to the A/E in the time and manner required by the
Instructions to Bidders or Request for Proposal, then any claims shall be deemed waived and the
Contractor shall not be entitled to additional compensation or time, or entitled to sue the Owner
based on such conflict, error, omission or other discrepancy. If the Contractor performs any Work,
or is delayed in performing any Work, where such Work involves a conflict, error, omission, or
other discrepancy in the plans and specifications that the Contractor knew about, or with
reasonable diligence should have known about, and fails to notify the A/E and Owner as required,
the Contractor shall assume full responsibility for such performance or delay and shall bear all
costs attributable to correcting any Work requiring correction or to any delay, and such conflict,
error, omission, or other discrepancy shall not be the basis for a claim, cause of action or right to
sue the Owner.
(c)
In case of differences between small and large scale drawings, the large scale drawings shall
govern. Where on any of the drawings a portion of the Work is drawn out and the remainder is
indicated in outline, the parts drawn out shall apply also to all other like portions of the Work.
(d)
Where the word "similar" appears on the drawings, it shall be interpreted in its general sense and
not as meaning identical, and all details shall be worked out in relation to their location and their
connection with other parts of the Work.
(e)
The specifications are divided into several parts, or sections, for convenience only, since the entire
specifications must be considered as a whole. The divisions of the specifications are not intended
to control the Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or to limit the Work
performed by any trade. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for the coordination of the
trades, Subcontractors and vendors engaged in the Work and for the compensation of the trades,
Subcontractors and vendors for the Work performed.
(f)
Measurements or dimensions shown on the drawings for Site features, utilities and structures shall
be verified at the Site by the Contractor before commencing the Work. The Contractor shall not
scale measurements or dimensions from the drawings. If there are discrepancies, the
Architect/Engineer shall be consulted. If new Work is to connect to, match with or be provided in
existing Work, the Contractor shall verify the actual existing conditions and necessary dimensions
prior to ordering or fabrication.
(g)
As-Built Drawings: The Contractor shall maintain at the Site for the Owner one copy of all
drawings, specifications, addenda, approved shop or setting drawings, Change Orders and other
modifications (collectively referred to herein as "As-Built Drawings") in good order and marked
to record all changes as they occur during construction. These shall be available to the
Architect/Engineer, the Owner, the Project Inspector, the Owner's other inspectors and to the
Owner's testing personnel. The drawings shall be neatly and clearly marked in color during
construction to record all variations made during construction. The representation of such
variations shall include such supplementary notes, symbols, legends, and details as may be
necessary to clearly show the as-built construction.
25
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
(h)
24.
CO-7
Record Drawings: Upon completion of the Work and prior to the final inspection, the Contractor
shall deliver to the Architect/Engineer, for preparation of the Record Drawings, one complete set
of "As-Built Drawings" referred to in the preceding subsection.
SUBMITTALS
(a)
The Contractor shall submit a listing of all Submittals required by the Architect/Engineer or which
the Contractor identifies as necessary, fixing the dates for the submission of shop or setting
drawings, samples and product data. The listing shall be in a format acceptable to the
Architect/Engineer. The Contractor shall identify all Submittals with the Owner's Project Code
Number as required by Section 2(f).
(b)
Submittals shall be forwarded to the Architect/Engineer for approval if required by the
specifications or if requested by the Architect/Engineer or the Owner. No part of the Work dealt
with by a Submittal shall be ordered, fabricated or installed by the Contractor, save at his own
risk, until such approval has been given.
Working drawings, shop drawings and/or submittals for fire protection, fire alarm, fire detection
and security systems shall be submitted to, and approved by, the Building Official prior to
ordering, fabricating or installing such systems. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for
obtaining such approval. No part of the Work involving such systems shall be ordered, fabricated
or installed by the Contractor until such approval has been obtained.
(c)
The Contractor shall furnish to the Architect/Engineer for approval the name of the manufacturer,
the model number, and other identifying data and information respecting the performance,
capacity, nature and rating of the machinery and mechanical and other equipment which the
Contractor contemplates incorporating in the Work. When Submittals are required by this Contract
for materials, the Contractor shall furnish full information concerning the material or articles
which he contemplates incorporating in the Work. When required, samples shall be submitted for
approval at the Contractor's expense, with all shipping charges prepaid. Machinery, equipment,
material and articles installed or used without required approval shall be at the risk of subsequent
rejection.
(d)
Unless otherwise indicated or required elsewhere in the specifications, shop drawings shall be
submitted in the form of one reproducible tracing and three blue line or black line prints. Catalog
cuts, product data and other non-reproducible literature, except certificates, shall be submitted in
six (6) copies minimum, of which three (3) will be retained by the Architect/Engineer and the
remainder will be returned to the Contractor. As is mutually agreeable to the Owner,
Architect/Engineer, and Contractor, Submittals may be provided in electronic format in lieu of
hardcopy format.
(e)
Submittals shall be accompanied by a letter of transmittal which shall list the Project Code
Number, the Submittals included, the specification section number applicable to each, and the date
shown on each Submittal. Submittals shall be complete in every respect and bound in sets. Each
Submittal shall be clearly marked to show each item, component and/or optional feature proposed
to be incorporated into the Project. Cross reference to the plans or specifications as needed to
identify the use for which the item or component is intended.
(f)
The Contractor shall check the Submittals for compliance with the requirements of the Contract
Documents. The Contractor shall clearly note in writing any and all items which deviate from the
requirements of the Contract Documents. Reasons for deviation shall be included with the
Submittal. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for checking all dimensions and coordinating
all materials and trades to ensure that the components or products proposed, individually or in
26
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
combination, will fit in the space available and that they will be compatible with other components
or products provided.
(g)
After checking each submittal, the Contractor shall stamp each sheet of the Submittal with the
Contractor's review stamp. Data submitted in a bound volume or on one sheet printed on two
sides, may be stamped on the front of the first sheet only. The Contractor's review stamp shall be
worded as follows:
The equipment and material shown and marked in this submittal is that proposed to be incorporated into
this Project, is in compliance with the Contract drawings and specifications unless otherwise shown in
bold face type or lettering and listed on a page or pages headed "DEPARTURES FROM DRAWINGS
AND SPECIFICATIONS", and can be installed in the allocated spaces.
Reviewed by _______________________________________ Date ____________________
The person signing the review stamp shall be the person designated in writing by the Contractor as
having that authority. (A copy of such designation shall be forwarded to the A/E prior to or with
the first Submittal.) The signature on the stamped review statement shall be handwritten in ink, or
in the case of electronic submittals, electronically signed in accordance with §59.1-479 et seq. of
the Code of Virginia. Stamped signatures are not acceptable.
(h)
The Contractor shall forward all Submittals sufficiently in advance of construction requirements to
allow reasonable time for checking, correcting, resubmitting and rechecking.
(i)
If a Submittal indicates a departure from the Contract requirements, the Architect/Engineer may
reject the Submittal or, if he deems it to have merit, may recommend it to the Owner, who shall
approve or reject it as the Owner, in its sole discretion, sees fit. The departure from the Contract
requirements shall be further authorized by a Change Order, if a reduction or increase in the
Contract Price is appropriate.
(j)
The Architect/Engineer is responsible to the Owner, but not to the Contractor, to verify that the
Submittals conform to the design concept and functional requirements of the plans and
specifications, that the detailed design portrayed in shop drawings and proposed equipment and
materials shown in Submittals are of the quality specified and will function properly, and that the
Submittals comply with the Contract Documents.
(k)
The Work shall be in accordance with approved Submittals. Approval of the Contractor's
Submittals by the A/E does not relieve the Contractor from responsibility of complying with the
Contract and all drawings and specifications, except as changed by Change Order.
(l)
The plans and/or specifications may indicate that the Architect/Engineer designed or detailed a
portion of the plans around a particular product (most commonly a piece of equipment). Should a
different product be proposed by the Contractor and accepted, all modifications, rerouting,
relocations and variations required for proper installation and coordination to comply with the
design concept and requirements of the Contract Documents shall be the responsibility of the
Contractor and shall be made at no extra cost to the Owner. If the plans were noted as designed or
detailed around a particular product and/or if a product is named when a "brand name or equal"
specification has been used, this is not intended to favor or preclude the use of other products
pursuant to Section 26 of these General Conditions. Rather such design merely acknowledges the
reality that in many instances the Architect/Engineer must have a basis to design and detail around
for dimensions and characteristics of a product or system.
(m)
Additional Submittal requirements are shown in the specifications.

FEES, SERVICES AND FACILITIES
(a)
The Contractor shall obtain all permits, except the Building Permit, and pay for all fees and
charges necessary for temporary access and public right-of-way blockage or use, for temporary
connections to utilities and for the use of property (other than the Site) for storage of materials and
other purposes unless otherwise specifically stated in the Contract Documents.
(b)
Certain projects such as renovations and interior modifications of existing buildings will usually
have water and electric service to the building. In those instances, water and electric power, if
required for the Work under the Contract, will be furnished by the Owner subject to reasonable
use by the Contractor, only to the extent and capacity of present services. The Contractor shall be
responsible for providing required connections, temporary wiring, piping, etc. to these services in
a safe manner and in accordance with applicable codes. All temporary wire, pipe, etc. shall be
removed before the Substantial Completion inspection. Acceptance by the Contractor of the use of
Owner's water and electricity constitutes a release to the Owner of all claims and of all liability to
the Contractor for whatever damages which may result from power and water outages or voltage
variations.
(c)
The Owner shall pay any connection charges for permanent utility connections directly to the
utility Supplier. The Contractor shall coordinate such connections with the utility Supplier.
(d)
It is understood that, except as otherwise specifically stated in the Contract Documents, the
Contractor, either directly or through his Subcontractors, shall provide and pay for all material,
labor, tools, equipment, water, light, power, telephone and other services or facilities of every
nature whatsoever necessary to execute completely and deliver the Work within the Contract Time
for Completion or before the Contract Completion Date.
(e)
The Contractor shall provide temporary facilities including Contractor’s office space, Owner’s
Project Inspector office space (if required by the specifications), toilet facilities, and storage space,
as required for the operations and the protection of the material and work. Number, sizes and
locations shall be subject to approval of the Owner. Sanitary facilities shall be plumbed into an
approved waste treatment system or shall be an approved type of chemical toilet and shall be
regularly serviced.
EQUALS
(a)
Brand names: Unless otherwise stated in the specifications, the name of a certain brand, make or
manufacturer denotes the characteristics, quality, workmanship, economy of operation and
suitability for the intended purpose of the article desired, but does not restrict the Contractor to the
specific brand, make, or manufacturer; it is set forth to convey to the Contractor the general style,
type, character and quality of the article specified.
(b)
Equal materials, equipment or assemblies: Whenever in these Contract Documents, a particular
brand, make of material, device or equipment is shown or specified, such brand, make of material,
device or equipment shall be regarded merely as a standard. Any other brand, make or
manufacturer of a product, assembly or equipment which in the opinion of the Architect/Engineer
is the equal of that specified, considering quality, capabilities, workmanship, configuration,
economy of operation, useful life, compatibility with design of the Work, and suitability for the
intended purpose, will be accepted unless rejected by the Owner as not being equal.
(c)
Substitute materials, equipment or assemblies: The Contractor may propose to substitute a
material, product, equipment, or assembly which deviates from the requirements of the Contract
28
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
Documents but which the Contractor deems will perform the same function and have equal
capabilities, service life, economy of operations, and suitability for the intended purpose. The
proposal must include any cost differentials proposed. The Owner will have the A/E provide an
initial evaluation of such proposed substitutes and provide a recommendation on acceptability and
indicate the A/E's redesign fee to incorporate the substitution in the design. If the proposed
substitute is acceptable to the Owner, a Change Order will be proposed to the Contractor to accept
the substitute and to deduct the cost of the A/E redesign fee and the proposed cost savings from
the Contract Price. The Owner shall have the right to limit or reject substitutions at its sole
discretion.
(d)
27.
The Contractor shall be responsible for making all changes in the Work necessary to adapt and
accommodate any equal or substitute product which it uses. The necessary changes shall be made
at the Contractor's expense.
AVAILABILITY OF MATERIALS
If a brand name, product, or model number included in the Contract Documents is not available on the
present market, alternate equal products or model numbers may be proposed by the Contractor through the
Architect/Engineer for approval by the Owner.
28.
CONTRACTOR'S TITLE TO MATERIALS
No materials or supplies for the Work shall be purchased by the Contractor, or by any Subcontractor or
Supplier, subject to any security interest, installment or sales contract or any other agreement or lien by
which an interest is retained by the seller or is given to a secured party. The Contractor warrants that he has
clear and good title to all materials and supplies which he uses in the Work or for which he accepts
payment in whole or in part.
29.
STANDARDS FOR MATERIALS INSTALLATION & WORKMANSHIP
(a)
Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Contract, all equipment, material, and accessories
incorporated in the Work are to be new and in first class condition.
(b)
Unless specifically approved by the Owner or required by the Contract, the Contractor shall not
incorporate into the Work any materials containing asbestos or any material known by the industry
to be hazardous to the health of building construction workers, maintenance workers, or
occupants. If the Contractor becomes aware that a material required by the Contract contains
asbestos or other hazardous materials, he shall notify the Owner and the Architect/Engineer
immediately and shall take no further steps to acquire or install any such material without first
obtaining Owner approval.
(c)
All workmanship shall be of the highest quality found in the building industry in every respect. All
items of Work shall be done by craftsmen or tradesmen skilled in the particular task or activity to
which they are assigned. In the acceptance or rejection of Work, no allowance will be made for
lack of skill on the part of workmen. Poor or inferior workmanship (as determined by the
Architect/Engineer, the Owner or other inspecting authorities) shall be removed and replaced at
Contractor's expense such that the Work conforms to the highest quality standards of the trades
concerned, or otherwise corrected to the satisfaction of the Architect/Engineer, the Owner, or other
inspecting authority, as applicable.
(d)
Under the various sections of the plans or specifications, where specified items are supplied with
the manufacturer's printed instructions, recommendations, or directions for installation, or where
such instructions, recommendations, or directions are available, installation of the specified items
shall be in strict accordance with the manufacturer's printed instructions unless those instructions
29
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
contradict the plans or specifications, in which case the Architect/Engineer will be notified for an
interpretation and decision.
30.
31.
(e)
Under the various sections of the plans or specifications, where reference is made to specific codes
or standards governing the installation of specified items, installation shall in all cases be in strict
accordance with the referenced codes and standards. Where no reference is made to specific codes
or standards, installation shall conform to the generally recognized applicable standards for firstclass installation of the specific item to be installed. Contractors are expected to be proficient and
skilled in their respective trades and knowledgeable of the Codes and Standards of the National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA), National Electric Code (NEC), Occupational Safety and
Health Act (OSHA) and other codes and standards applicable to installations and associated work
by his trade.
(f)
Where the manufacturer's printed instructions are not available for installation of specific items,
where specific codes or standards are not referenced to govern the installation or specific items, or
where there is uncertainty on the part of the Contractor concerning the installation procedures to
be followed or the quality of workmanship to be maintained in the installation of specific items,
the Contractor shall consult the Architect/Engineer for approval of the installation procedures or
the specific standards governing the quality of workmanship the Contractor proposes to follow or

reasonable precaution at all times for the protection of all persons and property which may come
on the Site or be affected by the Contractor's Work.
(b)
The Contractor shall be solely responsible for initiating, maintaining and supervising all safety

PAYMENTS TO CONTRACTOR
(a)
Unless otherwise provided in the Contract, the Owner will make partial payments to the
Contractor on the basis of a duly certified and approved Schedule of Values and Certificate for
Payment, Form CO-12, showing the estimate of the Work performed during the preceding
calendar month or work period, as recommended by the Architect/Engineer. When evaluating the
Contractor's Form CO-12, the Architect/Engineer will consider the value of the Work in place, the
value of approved and properly stored materials, the status of the Work on the critical path with
regard to the Time for Completion, and the estimated value of the Work necessary to achieve Final
Completion. The Architect/Engineer will schedule a monthly pay meeting to occur no earlier than
the 25th day of the month represented by the payment request or not later than the 5th day of the
following month. The Contractor shall submit his monthly estimate of Work completed on Form
CO-12 in accordance with the Contract between the Owner and Contractor so that it is received by
the Architect/Engineer and the Owner's Project Manager at least one work day prior to the date
scheduled by the Architect/Engineer for the monthly pay meeting. The Owner will review the
estimate with the Architect/Engineer and the Contractor at the monthly pay meeting, which shall
be considered the receipt date, and may approve any or all of the estimate of Work for payment. In
32
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
preparing estimates, the material delivered to the Site and preparatory Work done shall be taken
into consideration, if properly documented as required by Section 20 of these General Conditions,
or as may be required by the Architect/Engineer so that quantities may be verified. In addition to
material delivered to the Site, material such as large pieces of equipment and items purchased
specifically for the Project, but stored off the Site within the Commonwealth of Virginia, may be
considered for payment, provided all of the following are accomplished prior to the submission of
the monthly payment request in which payment for such materials is requested:
(1)
The Contractor must notify the Owner in writing, at least ten (10) days prior to the
submission of the payment request, through the Architect/Engineer, that specific items
will be stored off Site in a designated, secured place within the Commonwealth of
Virginia. The Schedule of Values must be detailed to indicate separately both the value of
the material and the labor/installation for trades requesting payment for stored materials.
By giving such notification and by requesting payment for material stored off Site, the
Contractor warrants that the storage location is safe and suitable for the type of material
stored and that the materials are identified as being the property of the Contractor, and
agrees that loss of materials stored off the Site shall not relieve the Contractor of the
obligation to timely furnish these types and quantities of materials for the Project and
meet the Time for Completion or Contract Completion Date, subject to Section 43 (b) of
these General Conditions. If the storage location is more than 20 miles from the Site, the
Contractor may be required to reimburse the Owner for the cost incurred for travel to the
storage location to verify the Contractor's request for payment for materials stored off
Site.
(2)
Such notification, as well as the payment request, shall:
(a)
Itemize the quantity of such materials and document with invoices showing the
cost of said materials;
(b)
Indicate the identification markings used on the materials, which shall clearly
reference the materials to the particular project;
(c)
Identify the specific location of the materials, which must be within reasonable
proximity to the Site and within the Commonwealth of Virginia;
(d)
Include a letter from the Contractor's Surety which confirms that the Surety on
the Performance Bond and the Labor and Material Payment Bond has been
notified of the request for payment of materials stored off the Site and agrees
that the materials are covered by the bond; and
(e)
Include a certificate of all-risk builder's risk insurance in an amount not less than
the fair market value of the materials, which shall name the Owner and the
Contractor as co-insureds.
(3)
The Architect/Engineer shall indicate, in writing, to the Owner that Submittals for such
materials have been reviewed and meet the requirements of the Contract Documents, that
the stored materials meet the requirement of the plans and specifications, and that such
materials conform to the approved Submittals. Should the A/E deem it necessary to visit
the storage site to make such review, the Contractor shall bear the costs incurred
therewith.
(4)
The Owner, through the Architect/Engineer, shall notify the Contractor in writing of its
agreement to prepayment for such materials.
33
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
(5)
The Contractor shall notify the Owner in writing, through the Architect/Engineer, when
the materials are to be transferred to the Site and when the materials are received at the
Site.
(b)
Payment will not be made for materials or equipment stored on or off the Site which are not
scheduled for incorporation into the Work within the six months next following submission of the
request for payment, unless the Contractor has the prior consent of the Owner, which consent may
be granted or withheld by the Owner in its discretion if, in the opinion of the Owner, it is not
necessary to procure the materials more than six months in advance of use to assure their
availability when needed.
(c)
No payment shall be made to the Contractor until:
(1)
The Contractor furnishes to the Owner its Social Security Number (SSN) if an individual,
or its Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) if a proprietorship, partnership,
corporation or other legal entity.
(2)
Certificates of Insurance or other satisfactory evidence of compliance by the Contractor
with all the requirements of Section 11 (and Section 12 if applicable) of these General
Conditions have been delivered to the Owner.
(3)
Copies of any certificates of insurance required of a Subcontractor under Section 11 have
been delivered to the Owner for payments based on Work performed by a Subcontractor.
(4)
The Contractor has (i) submitted a preliminary schedule which is acceptable to the Owner
in accordance with Section 19(a), (ii) submitted a fully complete Project schedule
accepted by the Owner in accordance with Section 19(a), (iii) maintained the monthly bar
graphs or status reports required by Section 19(d), or (iv) provided a recovery schedule
pursuant to Section 19(e), as each of them may be required.
(d)
In making such partial payments, five percent (5%) of each payment to the Contractor shall be
retained until Final Completion and acceptance of all Work covered by the Contract, unless
otherwise provided by any law, regulation or program of the federal government. Such retainage
shall be held to assure faithful performance of the Contract and may also be used as a fund to
deduct amounts due to or claimed by the Owner, including, but not limited to, payment to the
Owner of all moneys due for deductive change orders, credits, uncorrected Defective Work,
interest, damages, and the like. (§2.2-4333 of the Code of Virginia) The Owner may, at its sole
discretion, agree on an item by item basis to release the retainage on items which are fully 100%
complete and which have accepted by the Owner as being tested and complete and on which no
further action or work will be required. Retainage which is released by the Owner shall be
distributed by the Contractor in conformance with Section 37 of these General Conditions.
(e)
All material and Work for which partial payments are made shall thereupon become the sole
property of the Owner, but this provision shall not relieve the Contractor from the sole
responsibility for all materials and Work, including those for which payment has been made, or for
the restoration of any damaged materials or Work. Nor shall this provision serve as a waiver of the
right of the Owner to require the fulfillment of all of the terms and conditions of the Contract.
(f)
The Final Payment, which shall include the retainage, less any amounts due to or claimed by the
Owner, shall not become due until the Architect/Engineer and the Owner agree that Final
Completion has been achieved and until the Contractor shall deliver to the Owner through the
Architect/Engineer a Certificate of Completion by the Contractor (Form CO-13.2) and an
Affidavit of Payment of Claims (Form CO-13), stating that all Subcontractors and Suppliers of
either labor or materials have been paid all sums claimed by them for Work performed or
34
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
materials furnished in connection with this Project less retainage. Amounts due the Owner which
may be withheld from the Final Payment may include, but are not limited to, amounts due
pursuant to Section 3(i), Section 16(a)-(d), Section 31(d), costs incurred to repair or replace
Defective Work, costs incurred as a result of the Contractor's negligent acts or omissions or
omissions of those for whom the Contractor is responsible, delay damages under Section 43(h),
and any liquidated or actual damages. If all Subcontractors and Suppliers of labor and materials
have not been paid the full amount claimed by them, the Contractor shall list each to which an
agreed amount of money is due or which has a claim in dispute. With respect to all such
Subcontractors and Suppliers, the Contractor shall provide to the Owner, along with the Affidavit
of Payment of Claims (Form CO-13), an affidavit from each such Subcontractor and Supplier
stating the amount of their subcontract or supply contract, the percentage of completion, the
amounts paid to them by the Contractor and the dates of payment, the amount of money still due if
any, any interest due the Subcontractor or Supplier pursuant to Section 37(b) below, and whether
satisfactory arrangements have been made for the payment of said amounts. If no agreement can
be reached between the Contractor and one or more Subcontractors or Suppliers as to the amounts
owed to the Subcontractors or Suppliers, the Owner may, in its discretion, pay such portion of the
moneys due to the Contractor which is claimed by the Subcontractor or Supplier into a Virginia
Court or Federal Court sitting in Virginia, in the manner provided by law. Said payment into court
shall be deemed a payment to the Contractor. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as
creating any obligation or contractual relationship between the Owner and any Subcontractor or
Supplier, and the Owner shall not be liable to any Subcontractor or Supplier on account of any
failure or delay of the Owner in complying with the terms hereof.
(g)
Upon successful completion of the final inspection and all Work required by the Contract,
including but not limited to the delivery of As-Built drawings, equipment manuals, written
warranties, acceptance of the Work by the Owner and the delivery of the affidavits required in
Section 36(f) of these General Conditions, the Architect/Engineer shall deliver the written
Certificate of Completion by the Architect/Engineer (Form CO-13.1) to the Owner, with a copy to
the Contractor, stating the entire amount of Work performed and compensation earned by the
Contractor, including extra work and compensation therefor. The Owner may accept the Work for
occupancy or use while asserting claims against the Contractor; disputing the amount of
compensation due to the Contractor; disputing the quality of the Work, its completion, or its
compliance with the Contract Documents; or any other reason.
(h)
Unless there is a dispute about the compensation due to the Contractor, Defective Work, quality of
the Work, compliance with the Contract Documents, completion itself, claims by the Owner, other
matters in contention between the parties, or unless monies are withheld pursuant to the
Comptroller's Debt Setoff Program, within thirty (30) days after receipt and acceptance of the
Schedule of Values and Certificate for Payment (Form CO-12) in proper form by the
Architect/Engineer at the monthly pay meeting, which shall be considered the receipt date, the
Owner shall pay to the Contractor the amount approved by the Architect/Engineer, less all prior
payments and advances whatsoever to or for the account of the Contractor. In the case of Final
Payment, the completed Affidavit of Payment of Claims (Form CO-13), the Certificate of
Completion by the Contractor (Form CO-13.2) and the Certificate of Completion by the
Architect/Engineer (Form CO-13.1) shall accompany the final Schedule of Values and Certificate
for Payment (Form CO-12) which is forwarded to the Owner for payment. The date on which
payment is due shall be referred to as the Payment Date. In the event of disputes, payment shall be
mailed on or before the Payment Date for amounts and Work not in dispute, subject to any set offs
claimed by the Owner; provided, however in instances where further appropriations are required
by the General Assembly or where the issuance of further bonds is required, in which case,
payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such appropriation or
within thirty (30) days after the receipt of bond proceeds by the Owner. All prior estimates and
payments including those relating to extra Work may be corrected and adjusted in any payment
and shall be corrected and adjusted in the Final Payment. In the event that any request for payment
(CO-12) by the Contractor contains a defect or impropriety, the Owner shall notify the Contractor
35
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
of any defect or impropriety which would prevent payment by the Payment Date, within five (5)
days after receipt of the Schedule of Values and Certificate for Payment (Form CO-12) by the
Owner from the Architect/Engineer.
37.
(i)
Interest shall accrue on all amounts owed by the Owner to the Contractor which remain unpaid
seven (7) days following the Payment Date. Said interest shall accrue at the discounted ninety-day
U.S. Treasury bill rate as established by the Weekly Auction and as reported in the publication
entitled The Wall Street Journal on the weekday following each such Weekly Auction. During the
period of time when the amounts due to the Contractor remain unpaid following the seventh (7)
day after the Payment Date, the interest accruing shall fluctuate on a weekly basis and shall be that
established by the immediately prior Weekly Auction. It shall be the responsibility of the
Contractor to gather and substantiate the applicable weekly interest rates to the satisfaction of the
Owner and to calculate to the satisfaction of the Owner the interest due. In no event shall the rate
of interest charge exceed the rate of interest charged pursuant to §58.1-1812 of the Code of
Virginia. No interest shall accrue on retainage or when payment is delayed because of
disagreement between the Owner and the Contractor regarding the quantity, quality or timeliness
of the Work, including, but not limited to, compliance with Contract Documents or the accuracy
of any Request for Payment received. This exception to the accrual of interest stated in the
preceding sentence shall apply only to that portion of a delayed payment which is actually the
subject of such a disagreement and shall apply only for the duration of such disagreement.
Nothing contained herein shall be interpreted, however, to prevent the withholding of retainage to
assure faithful performance of the Contract. These same provisions relating to payment of interest
to the Contractor shall apply also to the computation and accrual of interest on any amounts due
from the Contractor to the Owner for deductive change orders and to amounts due on any claims
by the Owner. The date of mailing of any payment by the U.S. Mail is deemed to be the date of
payment to the addressee.
(j)
The acceptance by the Contractor of the Final Payment shall be and operate as a release to the
Owner of all claims by the Contractor, its Subcontractors and Suppliers, and of all liability to the
Contractor whatever, including liability for all things done or furnished in connection with this
Work, except for things done or furnished which are the subject of unresolved claims for which
the Contractor has filed a timely written notice of intent, provided a claim is submitted no later
than sixty (60) days after Final Payment. Acceptance of any interest payment by the Contractor
shall be a release of the Owner from claims by the Contractor for late payment.
(k)
No certificate for payment issued by the Architect/Engineer, and no payment, final or otherwise,
no certificate of completion, nor partial or entire use or occupancy of the Work by the Owner,
shall be an acceptance of any Work or materials not in accordance with the Contract, nor shall the
same relieve the Contractor of responsibility for faulty materials or Defective Work or operate to
release the Contractor or his Surety from any obligation under the Contract, the Standard
Performance Bond and the Standard Labor and Material Payment Bond.
PAYMENTS BY CONTRACTOR (§ 2.2-4354, Code of Virginia)
Under § 2.2-4354, Code of Virginia, the Contractor is obligated to:
(a)
Within seven (7) days after receipt of amounts paid to the Contractor by the Owner for Work
performed by the Subcontractor or Supplier under this Contract,
(1)
Pay the Subcontractor or Supplier for the proportionate share of the total payment
received from the Owner attributable to the Work performed by the Subcontractor or the
materials furnished by the Supplier under this Contract; or
(2)
Notify the Subcontractor or Supplier, in writing, of his intention to withhold all or a part
of the Subcontractor or Supplier's payment with the reason for nonpayment;
36
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
(b)
Pay interest to the Subcontractor or Supplier on all amounts owed by the Contractor that remain
unpaid after seven (7) days following receipt by the Contractor of payment from the Owner for
Work performed by the Subcontractor or materials furnished by the Supplier under this contract,
except for amounts withheld as allowed under subsection (a) (2) of this Section.
(c)
Include in each of his subcontracts a provision requiring each Subcontractor to include in each of
its subcontracts a provision requiring each subcontractor to include or otherwise be subject to the
same payment and interest requirements with respect to each lower tier subcontractor. Each
Subcontractor shall include with its invoice to, or request for payment from, the Contractor, a
certification that that Subcontractor has paid each of its suppliers and lower tier subcontractors
their proportionate share of previous payments received from the Contractor attributable to the
Work performed or the materials furnished by it under this Contract.
The Contractor's obligation to pay interest to the Subcontractor or Supplier pursuant to subsection
(b) of this Section is not an obligation of the Owner. A modification to this Contract shall not be
made for the purpose of providing reimbursement for such interest charge. A Contractor's cost
reimbursement claim shall not include any amount for reimbursement of such interest charge.
38.
CHANGES IN THE WORK
(a)
The Owner may at any time, by written order utilizing the Commonwealth of Virginia Change
Order Form CO-11 and without notice to the sureties, make changes in the Work which are within
the general scope of the Contract, except that no change will be made which will increase the total
Contract Price to an amount more than twenty percent (20%) in excess of the original Contract
Price without notice to sureties. At the time of the Preconstruction Meeting described in Section
50(b), the Contractor and the Owner shall advise each other in writing of their designees
authorized to accept and/or approve changes to the Contract Price and of any limits to each
designee's authority. Should any designee or limits of authority change during the time this
Contract is in effect, the Contractor or Owner with such a change shall give written notice to the
other within seven (7) calendar days, utilizing the procedures set forth in these General
Conditions. The Contractor agrees and understands that the authority of the Owner's designee is
limited by Virginia Code §2.2-4309 and any other applicable statute.
In making any change, the charge or credit for the change shall be determined by one of the
following methods as selected by the Owner:
(1)
Fixed Price: By a mutually agreed fixed amount change to the Contract Price and/or
time allowed for completion of the Work. The Change Order shall be substantiated by
documentation itemizing the estimated quantities and costs of all labor, materials, and
equipment required as well as any mark-up used. The price change shall include the
Contractor's reasonable overhead and profit, including overhead for any unreasonable
delay arising from or related to the Change Order and/or the change in the Work. See
Subsections (d), (e) and (f), below.
(2)
Unit Price: By using unit prices and calculating the number of net units of Work in each
part of the Work which is changed, either as the Work progresses or before Work on the
change commences, and by then multiplying the calculated number of units by the
applicable unit price set forth in the Contract or multiplying by a mutually agreed unit
price if none was provided in the Contract. No additional percentage markup for
overhead or profit shall be added to the unit prices.
(3)
Cost Reimbursement: By ordering the Contractor to perform the changed Work on a
cost reimbursement basis by issuing two Change Orders citing this Subsection, an
initiating Change Order, authorizing the changed Work, and a confirming Change Order
37
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
approving the additional cost and time for the changed Work. The initiating Change
Order shall:
(i)
Describe the scope or parameters of the change in the Work;
(ii)
Describe the cost items to be itemized and verified for payment and the method of
measuring the quantity of work performed;
(iii) Address the impact on the schedule for Substantial Completion;
(iv) Order the Contractor to proceed with the change to the Work;
(v)
Order the Contractor to keep in a form acceptable to the Owner, an accurate,
itemized account of the actual cost of the change in the Work, including, but not
limited to, the actual costs of labor, materials, equipment, and supplies;
(vi) Order the Contractor to annotate a copy of the Project schedule to accurately show
the status of the Work at the time this first Change Order is issued, to show the start
and finish dates of the changed Work, and the status of the Work when the changed
Work is completed; and
(vii) State that a confirming Change Order will be issued to incorporate the cost of the
ordered changed in the Work into the Contract Price and any change in the Contract
Time for Completion or Contract Completion Date.
The Contractor shall sign the initiating Change Order acknowledging he has been ordered
to proceed with the change in the Work. The Contractor's signature on each initiating
Change Order citing this Subsection 38(a)(3) as the method for determining the cost of
the Work shall not constitute the Contractor's agreement on the cost or time impact of the
ordered Work.
Except as otherwise may be agreed to in writing by the Owner, such costs shall not
exceed those prevailing for the trades or crafts (based upon rates established by the US
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or other generally recognized cost data
publication), materials, and equipment in the locality of the Project, may include only
those items listed as allowable in Subsection 38(e), and shall not include any of the costs
listed as not allowable in Subsection 38(f). The Owner shall be permitted, on a daily
basis, to verify such records and may require such additional records as are necessary to
determine the cost of the change to the Work.
Within fourteen (14) days after the conclusion of such ordered Work, the Contractor and
the Owner shall reach agreement on (i) a cost for the ordered Work, based on the records
kept and the Contractor's allowance for overhead and profit determined in accordance
with the provisions set forth in Subsections 38(d), (e), and (f) below; and (ii) the change
in the Contract Time for Completion or Contract Completion Date, if necessary, as a
result of the ordered Work. Such costs and time shall be incorporated into a confirming
Change Order which references the initiating Change Order. If agreement on the cost and
time of the changed Work cannot be reached within the fourteen (14) days allotted, the
Contractor may submit a claim for the disputed cost or time as provided for in Section 47.
(4)
By issuing a unilateral change order in the amount deemed appropriate by the Owner for
the Work. If the Contractor objects to the amount or scope of the change order then the
Contractor may within the 14 days of the date of the change order file a claim for the
disputed amount as provided for in section 47.
38
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
(b)
CO-7
The Contractor shall review any Owner requested or directed change and shall respond in writing
within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the proposed change (or such other reasonable
time as the Owner may direct), stating the effect of the proposed change upon his Work, including
any increase or decrease in the Contract time and price. The Contractor shall furnish to the Owner
an itemized breakdown of the quantities and prices used in computing the proposed change in
Contract Price.
The Owner shall review the Contractor's proposal and respond to the Contractor within thirty (30)
days of receipt. If a change to the Contract Price and Time for Completion or Contract Completion
Date are agreed upon, both parties shall sign the Change Order. If the Contract Price and Time for
Completion or Contract Completion Date are not agreed upon, the Owner may direct the
Contractor to proceed under Subsection 38(a)(3), above. Change Orders shall be effective when
signed by both parties, unless approval by the Governor or his designee is required, in which event
the Change Order shall be effective when signed by the Governor or his designee.
(c)
In figuring changes, any instructions for measurement of quantities set forth in the Contract shall
be followed.
(d)
Overhead and profit for both additive and deductive changes in the Work (other than changes
covered by unit prices) shall be paid by applying the specified percentage markups only on the net
cost of the changed Work (i.e. difference in cost between original and changed Work excluding
overhead and profit). Said percentages for overhead and profit shall reasonably approximate the
Contractor’s overhead and profit, but shall not exceed the percentages for each category listed
below:
(e)
(1)
If a Subcontractor does all or part of the changed Work, the Subcontractor's mark-up for
overhead and profit on the Work it performs shall be a maximum of fifteen percent
(15%). The Contractor's mark-up for overhead and profit on the Subcontractor's price
shall be a maximum of ten percent (10%).
(2)
If the Contractor does all or part of the changed Work, its markup for overhead and profit
on the changed Work it performs shall be a maximum of fifteen percent (15%).
(3)
If a Sub-subcontractor at any tier does all or part of the changed Work, the Subsubcontractor's markup on that Work shall be a maximum of fifteen percent (15%). The
markup for overhead and profit on a sub-subcontractor's Work by the Contractor and all
intervening tiers of Subcontractors shall not exceed a total of ten percent (10%).
(4)
Where Work is deleted from the Contract prior to commencement of that Work without
substitution of other similar Work, one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Price
attributable to that Work shall be deducted from the Contract Price. However, in the
event that material Submittals have been approved and orders placed for said materials, a
lesser amount, but in no case less than eighty percent (80%) of the Contract Price
attributable to that Work, shall be deducted from the Contract Price. The credit to the
Owner for reduced premiums on labor and material bonds and performance bonds shall
in all cases be one hundred percent (100%).
Allowable costs for changes in the Work may include but are not limited to the following:
(1)
Labor costs for employees directly employed in the change in the Work, including
salaries and wages plus the cost of payroll charges and fringe benefits and overtime
premiums, if such premiums are explicitly authorized by the Owner.
39
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
(2)
Materials incorporated into the change to the Work, including costs of transportation and
storage, if applicable. If applicable, all cash discounts shall accrue to the Contractor,
unless the Owner deposits funds with the Contractor to make such payments, and all
trade discounts, rebates, refunds, and returns from the sale of surplus materials shall
accrue to the Owner.
(3)
Equipment incorporated in the changed Work or equipment used directly in
accomplishing the Work. If rented expressly for accomplishing the change in the Work,
the cost shall be the rental rate according to the terms of the rental agreement, which the
Owner shall have the right to approve. If owned by the Contractor, the costs shall be a
reasonable price based upon the life expectancy of the equipment and the purchase price
of the equipment. If applicable, transportation costs may be included.
(4)
Costs of increases in premiums for the Standard Labor and Material Payment Bond and
the Standard Performance Bond, provided coverage for the cost of the change in the
Work results in such increased costs. At the Owner's request, the Contractor shall provide
proof of his notification to the Surety of the change in the Work and of the Surety's
agreement to include such change in its coverage. The cost of the increase in premium
shall be an allowable cost but shall not be marked up.
(5)
Contractor and Subcontractor overhead costs as set forth in Subsection (d) markups
above.
(6)
Agreed Compensation for Overhead for Changes to Time for Completion or
Contract Completion Date for Changes to the Work: If the change in the Work also
changes the Time for Completion or the Contract Completion Date by adding days to
complete the Work, an itemized accounting of the following direct Site overhead and
home office overhead and other indirect overhead expenses set forth in subparagraphs (i)
and (ii) below may be considered as allowable costs for compensation in addition to those
shown above:
(i)
Direct Site Overhead Expenses:
The Contractor’s per diem expenses, as shown by the itemized accounting, for
the following allowable direct Site overhead expenses: The Site superintendent's
pro-rata salary, temporary Site office trailer, and temporary Site utilities
including basic telephone service, electricity, heat, water, and sanitary / toilet
facilities for each day added. All other direct expenses are covered by and
included in the Subsection 38(d) markups above.
(ii)
Home Office and Other Indirect Overhead Expenses:
A five percent (5%) markup on the above direct Site overhead expenses will be
allowed as compensation for the Contractor’s home office overhead and all
other direct or indirect overhead expenses for days added to the Time for
Completion or the Contract Completion Date for a change in the Work. All other
overhead and other direct or indirect overhead expenses are covered by and
included in this markup and the Subsection (d) markups above.
(7)
(f)
Any other costs directly attributable to the change in the Work with the exception of
those set forth in Subsection 38(f) below.
Allowable costs for changes in the Work shall not include the following:
40
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
(g)
CO-7
(1)
Costs due to the negligence of the Contractor, any Subcontractor, Supplier, their
employees, or other persons for whom the Contractor is responsible, including, but not
limited to, costs for the correction of Defective Work, for improper disposal of material,
for equipment wrongly supplied, for delay in performing the Work, or for delay in
obtaining materials or equipment.
(2)
Home office expenses including payroll costs for the Contractor's officers, executives,
administrators, accountants, counsel, timekeepers, clerks, and other similar administrative
personnel employed by the Contractor, whether at the Site or in the Contractor's principal
or branch office for general administration of the Work. These costs are deemed overhead
included in the percentage markups allowable in Subsections 38(d) above.
(3)
Home and field office expenses not itemized in Subsection 38(e)(6) above. Such items
include, but are not limited to, expenses of Contractor's home and branch offices,
Contractor's capital expenses, interest on Contractor's capital used for the Work, charges
for delinquent payments, small tools, incidental job costs, rent, utilities, telephone and
office equipment, and other general overhead expenses.
(4)
Other items reasonably determined by the Owner to not be allowed.
All Change Orders, except the "initial" Change Orders authorizing work citing Subsection
38(a)(3) procedures, must state that the Contract Time for Completion or Contract Completion
Date is not changed or is either increased or decreased by a specific number of days. The old Time
for Completion and, if changed, the new Time for Completion must be stated.
If the Contractor requests an extension to the Time for Completion or a later Contract Completion
Date, he must provide written justification for the extension to the Architect/Engineer and to the
Owner. The written justification must demonstrate an anticipated actual increase in the time
required to complete the Work beyond that allowed by the Contract as adjusted by prior change
orders or amendments to the Contract, not just an increase or decrease in the time needed to
complete some portion of the total Work. When a CPM schedule is required by the Contract, no
extension to the Time for Completion or Contract Completion Date shall be allowed unless, and
then only to the extent that, the additional or changed Work increases the length of the critical path
beyond the Time for Completion or Contract Completion Date. If approved, the increase in time
required to complete the Work shall be added to the Time for Completion or Contract Completion
Date.
The Owner may decrease, by Change Order, the Time for Completion or Contract Completion
Date when an Owner-requested deletion from the Work results in a decrease in the actual time
required to complete the Work as demonstrable on the Bar Graph Schedule or on the CPM
Schedule, whichever is appropriate. The Contractor may submit a request to decrease, by Change
Order, the Time for Completion or Contract Completion Date under the procedures and subject to
the considerations set forth in Section 19(f). No request for such decrease shall be considered for
approval unless the proposed shorter schedule is otherwise acceptable under Sections 19(b) or (c),
whichever is applicable. The Change Order decreasing the Time for Completion or changing the
Contract Completion Date must be signed by both the Owner and the Contractor.
With the exception of Change Orders under Subsection 38(a)(3), which shall arrive at a change to
the Contract Price and any change to time using the procedures set forth therein, each Change
Order shall include all time and monetary impacts of the change, whether the Change Order is
considered alone or with all other changes during the course of the Project. Failure to include a
change to time and changes in the Contract Price attributable to the change in time under
Subsections 38(a)(1) or (2) shall waive any change to the time and Contract Price unless the
parties mutually agree in writing to postpone a determination of the time related impacts of the
change. Such a determination may be postponed not more than forty-five (45) days to give the
41
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
Contractor an opportunity to demonstrate a change in the time and price needed to complete the
Work. During any such postponement, the Work shall proceed, unless the Owner agrees
otherwise.
If at any time there is a delay in the critical path of the Work due to postponement, due to the
Contractor's efforts to justify an extension of the time or an increase in the Contract Price, or due
to the Contractor's refusal to proceed with any of the Work, pending agreement on a change in
time or price, such delay and any Contractor costs resulting from it shall not serve as the basis for
the extension of the Time for Completion or Contract Completion Date or for an increase in the
Contract Price.
(h)
The acceptance by the Contractor of any payment made by the Owner under a Change Order shall
be and operate as a release to the Owner of all claims by the Contractor and of all liability owing
to the Contractor for all things done or furnished in connection with the Work described in the
Change Order. The execution of any Change Order by the Owner shall not be an acceptance of
any Work or materials not in accordance with the Contract Documents, nor shall it relieve the
Contractor of responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship or operate to release the
Contractor or his surety from any obligation arising under the Contract, the Standard Performance
Bond, or the Standard Labor and Material Payment Bond.
(i)
Payments will not be made for any Work, labor, or materials performed on a unit price or a
Subsection 38(a)(3) basis until the Contractor has furnished the Owner documents, certified as
true and correct by an authorized officer or agent of the Contractor, evidencing the cost of such
Work, labor, and materials. The Owner may require any or all of the following documentation to
be provided by the Contractor.
For Work performed on a Unit Price basis:
(1)
Certified measurements of authorized and approved excavations, over-excavations, fills
and/or backfills, and similar work; and/or
(2)
Certified measurements of piling installed, caissons installed, and similar work; and/or
(3)
Daily records of waste materials removed from the Site and/or fill materials imported to
the Site.
For Work performed on a Subsection 38(a)(3) basis:
(1)
Certified payroll records showing the name, classification, date, daily hours, total hours,
rate, and extension for each laborer, foreman, supervisor, or other worker; and/or
(2)
Equipment type & model, dates, daily hours, total hours, rental rate, or other specified
rate, and extension for each unit of equipment;
(3)
Invoices for materials showing quantities, prices, and extensions;
(4)
Daily records of waste materials removed from the Site and/or fill materials imported to
the Site;
(5)
Certified measurements of over-excavations, piling installed and similar work; and/or
(6)
Transportation records for materials, including prices, loads, and extensions.
Requests for payment shall be accompanied and supported by invoices for all l materials used and
for all transportation charges claimed. If materials come from the Contractor's own stock, then an
42
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
affidavit may be furnished, in lieu of invoices, certifying quantities, prices, etc. to support the
actual cost.
39.
EXTRAS
If the Contractor claims that any instructions given to him by the Architect/Engineer or by the
Owner, by drawings or otherwise, involve extra Work which increases the scope of the Contract,
then, except in emergencies endangering life or property, he shall give the Architect/Engineer and
the Owner written notice thereof before proceeding to execute the Work. Said notice shall be
given promptly enough to avoid delaying the Work and in no instance later than fourteen (14)
days after the receipt of such instructions. Should it not be immediately clear to the Contractor that
the change involves extra Work outside the scope of the Contract, written notice shall be sufficient
if given as soon as possible after such realization, but in no event later than fourteen (14) days
after the start of such Work. If the Owner agrees, a Change Order shall be issued as provided in
Section 38 of these General Conditions, and any additional compensation shall be determined by
one of the three (3) methods provided in Subsection 38(a), as selected by the Owner. If the Owner
does not agree, then any claims for compensation for the extra Work shall be filed in accordance
with Section 47.
40.
CONTRACTOR'S RIGHT TO STOP WORK OR TERMINATE THE CONTRACT
If the Work should be stopped under an order of any court or other public authority for a period of
ninety (90) days through no fault of the Contractor or anyone employed by him, or if the Owner
should fail to pay to the Contractor within thirty (30) days any sum certified by the
Architect/Engineer when no dispute exists as to the sum due or any provision of the Contract, then
the Contractor may, upon ten (10) calendar days written notice to the Owner and the
Architect/Engineer, stop Work or terminate the Contract and recover from the Owner payment for
the cost of the Work actually performed, together with overhead and profit thereon, but profit on
the Work performed shall be recovered only to the extent that the Contractor can demonstrate that
he would have had profit on the entire Contract if he had completed the Work. The Contractor
may not receive profit or any other type of compensation for parts of the Work not performed. The
Contractor may recover the reasonable cost of physically closing down the Site, but no other costs
of termination. The Owner may offset any claims it may have against the Contractor against the
amounts due to the Contractor. In no event shall termination of the Contract by the Contractor
terminate the obligations of the Contractor's surety on its payment and performance bonds.
41.
OWNER'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE CONTRACT FOR CAUSE
(a)
If the Contractor should be adjudged as bankrupt, or if he should make a general assignment for
the benefit of his creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed on account of his insolvency, the
Owner may terminate the Contract. If the Contractor should refuse or should repeatedly fail,
except in cases for which extension of time is provided, to supply enough properly skilled
workmen or proper materials and equipment, or if he should fail to perform the Work in a diligent,
efficient, workmanlike, skillful, and careful manner, or if he should fail or refuse to perform the
Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if he should fail to make prompt payment to
Subcontractors or Suppliers of material or labor, or if he should disregard laws, ordinances or the
written instructions of the Architect/Engineer or the Owner, or otherwise be in substantial
violation of any provision of the Contract, then the Owner may terminate the Contract.
(b)
Prior to termination of the Contract, the Owner shall give the Contractor and his surety ten (10)
days written notice of such termination in the manner provided in Section 1 (definition of
"Notice") of these General Conditions and allow ten (10) days during which the Contractor and/or
his surety may rectify the basis for the notice. If rectified to the satisfaction of the Owner within
43
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
said ten (10) days, the Owner may rescind its notice of termination. If not, the termination for
cause shall become effective at the end of the ten (10) day notice period without further notice to
the Contractor. In the alternative, the Owner may, in writing, postpone the effective date of the
termination for cause, at its sole discretion, if it should receive reassurances from the Contractor
and/or its surety that the basis for the termination will be remedied in a time and manner which the
Owner finds acceptable. If at any time after such postponement, the Owner determines that
Contractor and/or its surety has not or is not likely to rectify the causes of termination in an
acceptable manner or within the time allowed, then the Owner may immediately terminate the
Contract for cause, without the necessity of further ten (10) day notice, by notifying the Contractor
and his surety in writing of the termination. In no event shall termination for cause terminate the
obligations of the Contractor's surety on its payment and performance bonds.
(c)
Upon termination of the Contract becoming effective, the Owner shall take possession of the Site
and of all materials, tools and equipment thereon and shall proceed as follows:
(1) No Security Provided: If no security has been provided pursuant to Section 8 herein, the
Owner shall finish the Work by whatever method he may deem expedient. If the expense of
finishing the Work, including compensation for additional managerial and administrative
services, shall exceed the unpaid balance of the Contract Price, the Contractor shall pay the
difference to the Owner, together with any other expenses of terminating the Contract and
having it completed by others.
(2) Security Provided: If security has been provided pursuant to Section 8 herein, the Owner
shall provide Notice to the Surety that termination of the Contract became effective and
proceed as set forth in the Standard Performance Bond, CO-10, Form # DGS-30-084, and the
Terms and Conditions therein. If the expense of finishing the Work, including compensation
for additional managerial and administrative services, shall exceed the unpaid balance of the
Contract Price and the penal amount of the Standard Performance Bond, the Contractor shall
pay the difference to the Owner, together with any other expenses of terminating the
Contract and having it completed by others.
42.
(d)
If it should be judicially determined that the Owner improperly terminated this Contract for cause,
then the termination shall be deemed to be a termination for the convenience of the Owner and the
Contractor’s rights and remedies shall be solely limited to those provided by Section 42 of these
General Conditions.
(e)
Termination of the Contract under this Section is in addition to and without prejudice to any other
right or remedy of the Owner. Any actions by the Owner permitted herein shall not be deemed a
waiver of any other right or remedy of the Owner under the Contract or under the law. The Owner
may offset any claims it may have against the Contractor against the amounts due to the
Contractor. The provisions of this Section shall survive termination of the Contract.
TERMINATION BY OWNER FOR CONVENIENCE
(a)
The Owner may terminate this Contract, in whole or in part, at any time without cause upon giving
the Contractor written notice of such termination in the manner provided in Section 1 (definition
of "Notice") of these General Conditions. Upon such termination, the Contractor shall
immediately cease Work and remove from the Site all of its labor forces, equipment and such of
its materials as Owner elects not to purchase or to assume in the manner hereinafter provided.
Upon such termination, the Contractor shall take such steps as Owner may require to assign to the
Owner the Contractor's interest in all Subcontracts and purchase orders designated by Owner.
After all such steps have been taken to Owner's satisfaction, the Contractor shall receive as full
compensation for termination and assignment the following:
44
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
(1)
Amounts due for Work performed in accordance with the Contract subsequent to the
latest approved Schedule of Values and Certificate for Payment (Form CO-12) through
the date of termination; and
(2)
All amounts then otherwise due under the terms of this Contract associated with the
Work performed prior to the date of termination; and
(3)
Reasonable compensation for the actual cost of demobilization incurred by the Contractor
as a direct result of such termination.
The Contractor shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages for lost profits or for any
other type of contractual compensation or damages other than those provided in Subsection 42(a).
The Owner may offset any claims it may have against the Contractor against the amounts due to
the Contractor. Upon payment of the foregoing, Owner shall have no further obligations to
Contractor of any nature. The Contractor agrees to waive all claims against the Owner for any
consequential damages that may arise from or relate to the Owner’s termination of the Contract
including, but not limited to, damages for loss of revenue, income, profit, business, reputation, or
bonding capacity.
43.
(b)
In no event shall termination for the convenience of the Owner terminate the obligations of the
Contractor's surety on its payment and performance bonds.
(c)
Any actions by the Owner permitted herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right or
remedy of the Owner under the Contract or under the law. The provisions of this Section shall
survive termination of the Contract.
DAMAGES FOR DELAYS; EXTENSION OF TIME
(a)
Excusable Non-Compensable Delays: If and to the extent that the Contractor is delayed at any
time in the progress of the Work by strikes, fires, unusual delays in transportation or unavoidable
casualties, or other causes outside the control of the Owner or the Contractor, with the exception
of delays caused by weather provided for in Section 6, for which the Contractor intends to request
an extension of either the Time for Completion or the Contract Completion Date, as the case may
be, then the Contractor shall give the Owner and Architect/Engineer written notice of the delay
within fourteen (14) days of the inception of the delay. The Contractor shall also give written
notice to the Owner and Architect/Engineer of the termination of the delay not more than fourteen
(14) days after such termination. If the Owner agrees with the existence and the impact of the
delay, the Owner shall extend the Time for Completion, the Contract Completion Date or Final
Completion Date, as the case may be, for the length of time that the date for Substantial
Completion or Final Completion was actually delayed thereby, and the Contractor shall not be
charged with liquidated or actual damages for delay during the period of such extension nor shall
the Contractor be due compensation or damages of any kind, under any theory of law, as a result
of such delay, the impact of such delay, or acceleration of Work as a result of such delay. In the
event a CPM schedule is required by the Contract, no extension of the Time for Completion or
Contract Completion Date shall be granted unless the Contractor demonstrates a delay in the
critical path of the approved CPM schedule or approved bar graph schedule.
(b)
Excusable Compensable Delays: If and to the extent that the Contractor is unreasonably delayed
at any time in the progress of the Work by any acts or omissions of the Owner, its agents, or
employees due to causes within the Owner's control, and the Contractor intends to request an
extension of either the Time for Completion or the Contract Completion Date, as the case may be,
and/or additional compensation for damages, if any, caused by the delay, then the Contractor shall
notify the Owner and the Architect/Engineer immediately at the time of the occurrence giving rise
to the delay by the fastest means available and shall give written notice no later than two (2)
working days after inception of the delay. The Contractor's written notice shall specify the nature
45
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
of the delay claimed by the Contractor, the cause of the delay, and the impact of the delay on the
Contractor's Work schedule. The Owner shall then have three (3) working days to respond to the
Contractor's notice with a resolution, remedy, direction to alleviate the delay, or rejection of the
Contractor’s notice of delay. The Owner’s failure to respond within the time required shall be
deemed to be a rejection of the Contractor’s notice. The Contractor shall also give written notice
to the Owner and Architect/Engineer of the termination of the delay not more than fourteen (14)
days after such termination. If and to the extent that a delay is caused by or due to the Owner or
A/E taking any actions permitted or required by the Contract, the Contractor shall be entitled to an
extension of time or additional compensation only for the portion of the delay that is unreasonable,
if any.
(c)
(d)
(e)
Non-Excusable Non-Compensable Delays: The Contractor shall not be entitled to an extension
of the Time for Completion or Contract Completion Date or to any additional compensation for
delays if and to the extent they are (1) caused by acts, omissions, fault, or negligence of the
Contractor or his Subcontractors, agents or employees or due to foreseeable causes within their
control, including, but not limited to, delays resulting from Defective Work including
workmanship and/or materials, from rejected work which must be corrected before dependent
work can proceed, from Defective Work or rejected work for which corrective action must be
determined before like work can proceed, from incomplete, incorrect, or unacceptable Submittals
or samples, or from the failure to furnish enough properly skilled workers, proper materials or
necessary equipment to diligently perform the work in a timely manner in accordance with the
Project schedule; or (2) due to causes that would entitle the Owner to recover delay costs or
damages.
No extension of time or additional compensation, if applicable, will be granted for any delay
unless the claimed delay directly affects the critical path of the approved CPM schedule or the
schedule shown on the approved bar graph schedule, whichever is applicable, and any float has
been consumed. No extension of time or additional compensation shall be given for a delay if the
Contractor failed to give notice in the manner and within the time prescribed in Subsections 43(a)
or (b) above, whichever applies. Furthermore, no extension of time or additional compensation
shall be given for any delay unless a written request therefor is made in writing to the Owner, with
a copy to the Architect/Engineer, within twenty (20) days of the end of the delay. The request shall
state the cause of the delay, the number of days of extension requested, and any additional
compensation requested by the Contractor. Failure to give written notice of either the inception or
the termination of the cause of delay or failure to present a claim for extension of time and/or
monetary compensation within the times prescribed shall constitute a waiver of any claim for
extension or additional compensation based upon that cause.
Requests for extensions of time and/or compensation for delays pursuant to Subsection 43(b)
above must be substantiated by itemized data and records clearly showing that the Work delayed
was on the critical path of the approved CPM schedule or on the sequence of Work on the
approved bar graph schedule, as modified, whichever applies, and that the additional time and/or
costs incurred by the Contractor are directly attributable to the delay in the Work claimed.
Furthermore, compensation for delay shall be calculated from the contractual Time for
Completion or Contract Completion Date, as adjusted by Change Order, and shall not be
calculated based on any early completion planned or scheduled by the Contractor, unless a Change
Order has been executed pursuant to Section 19(f) changing the Time for Completion or the
Contract Completion Date to reflect such early completion. See Section 19 for procedures for the
Contractor to follow if he plans early completion of the Work and wishes to request a Change
Order reflecting the early completion date.
Agreed Compensation/Liquidated Damages for Owner Delay:
If and to the extent that the Contractor is entitled to an extension in the Time for Completion or the
Contract Completion Date and additional compensation purely as a result of delay under
Subsection 43(b) and not as a result of a change in the Work under Section 38, the agreed
46
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
compensation and liquidated damages due the Contractor for days added to the Time for
Completion or the Contract Completion Date for each day of such delay shall be the per diem
expenses as determined from an itemized accounting of the direct Site overhead expenses and
home office and other indirect overhead expenses only as specified in Subsections 38(e)(6)(i) and
(ii). These expenses shall exclude any and all expenses specified in Subsection 38(f).
(f)
If the Contractor submits a claim for delay damages pursuant to Subsection 43(b) above, the
Contractor shall be liable to the Owner for a percentage of all costs incurred by the Owner in
investigating, analyzing, negotiating, and litigating or arbitrating the claim, which percentage shall
be equal to the percentage of the Contractor's total delay claim which is determined through
litigation or arbitration to be false or to have no basis in law or in fact. (§ 2.2-4335, Code of
Virginia)
(g)
Any change in the Contract Time for Completion or Contract Completion Date shall be
accomplished only by issuance of a Change Order.
(h)
Agreed Compensation/Liquidated Damages for Contractor Delay: If the Contractor fails to
complete the Work within the Time for Completion or the Contract Completion Date, the
Contractor shall be liable to the Owner in the amounts set forth in the Supplemental General
Conditions, if any, not as a penalty, but as fixed, agreed, and liquidated damages for delay until
the Work is substantially or finally completed as the case may be. If liquidated damages are not so
fixed in the Supplemental General Conditions, the Contractor shall be liable for any and all actual
damages sustained as a result of delay. In addition to damages for delay, whether liquidated or
actual, the Contractor shall also be liable for any and all actual damages sustained by the Owner as
a result of any other breach of the Contract, including, but not limited to, Defective Work and
abandonment of the Contract.
(i)
If liquidated damages are provided by the Supplemental General Conditions, the following
provisions apply:
(j)
44.
(1)
If the Work is not substantially complete by the Time for Completion or Contract
Completion Date, the Contractor shall owe to the Owner, not as a penalty but as Step One
liquidated damages, the sum stated in the Supplemental General Conditions for Step One
liquidated damages for each and every partial or total calendar day of delay in Substantial
Completion.
(2)
Once the Work is substantially complete, the accrual of Step One liquidated damages
shall cease and the Contractor shall have thirty (30) calendar days in which to achieve
Final Completion of the Work.
(3)
If Final Completion of the Work is not achieved on or before the thirtieth (30th) calendar
day after Substantial Completion, and if the Owner has not granted any extension of time,
the Contractor shall owe to the Owner, not as a penalty but as Step Two liquidated
damages, the sum stated in the Supplemental General Conditions as Step Two liquidated
damages for each and every partial or total calendar day of delay in Final Completion.
The Contractor waives any and all defenses as to the validity of any liquidated damage provisions
in the General Conditions or other Contract Documents, or of any liquidated damages assessed
against the Contractor, on the grounds that such damages are void as penalties or are not
reasonably related to actual damages.
INSPECTION FOR SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION & FINAL COMPLETION
(a)
The Contractor shall notify the Owner, in writing on the Certificate of Partial or Substantial
Completion by the Contractor (Form CO-13.2a), of the date when the Work or designated portion
47
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
thereof, will be, in his opinion, substantially complete and ready for inspection and testing to
determine if it has reached Substantial Completion. The notice shall be given at least ten (10) days
in advance of said date and shall be forwarded through the Architect/Engineer, who will attach his
written endorsement as to whether or not he concurs with the Contractor's statement that the Work
will be ready for inspection and testing on the date given. The Architect/Engineer's endorsement is
a convenience to the Owner only and shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility in the
matter nor shall the Architect/Engineer's endorsement be deemed to be evidence that the Work
was substantially complete and ready for inspection and testing. Inspection and testing shall take
place at a time(s) mutually agreeable to the Contractor, Owner and Architect/Engineer.
The inspection shall include a demonstration by the Contractor that all equipment, systems and
operable components of the project function properly and in accordance with the Contract
Documents. The Contractor shall furnish access for the inspection and testing as provided in
Section 21 of these General Conditions. The inspection and testing shall determine whether
Substantial Completion has been accomplished and shall result in a written list of unfinished Work
and Defective Work, commonly referred to as a "punch list", which must be finished and corrected
to obtain Final Completion.
After successful completion of the testing and the Architect / Engineer determines that, in its
opinion, the Work, either in whole or in part, is substantially complete, the Architect / Engineer
shall notify the Owner, in writing on the Certificate of Partial or Substantial Completion by the
Architect/Engineer (Form CO-13.1a), that the Work, or a specified portion thereof, is
recommended to be declared substantially complete. The Owner shall notify the Contractor, in
writing, of the date the Owner accepts the Work, or the specified portion thereof, as substantially
complete or the Owner shall notify the Contractor of the deficiencies to be corrected or completed
before such Work will be accepted as substantially complete.
45.
(b)
The Contractor shall notify the Owner, in writing on the Certificate of Completion by the
Contractor (form CO-13.2), of the date when the Work has reached or will reach Final Completion
and will be ready for final inspection and testing. The notice shall be given at least five (5) days in
advance of said date and shall be forwarded through the Architect/Engineer, who will attach his
endorsement as to whether or not he concurs in the Contractor's statement that the Work will be
ready for inspection and testing on the date given. That inspection and any necessary testing shall
be conducted in the same manner as the inspection for Substantial Completion. When the Work is
finally and totally complete, including the elimination of all defects, the Work shall be finally
accepted by the Owner and Final Payment shall be made in accordance with Section 36 of these
General Conditions.
(c)
The Architect/Engineer shall conduct the inspections. The Owner may elect to have other persons
of its choosing also participate in the inspections. If one or more Substantial or Final Completion
re-inspections are required, the Contractor shall reimburse the Owner for all costs of re-inspection
or, at the Owner's option, the costs may be deducted from payments due to the Contractor.
(d)
A representative of the State Fire Marshal's Office will either be present at the Substantial and
Final Completion inspections or otherwise inspect the completed Work and advise the Owner
whether the Work meets the fire safety requirements of the applicable building code.
(e)
Approval of Work at or as a result of any inspection required herein shall not release the
Contractor or his surety from responsibility for complying with the Contract.
GUARANTEE OF WORK
(a)
Except as otherwise specified, all Work shall be, and is hereby, guaranteed by the Contractor
against defects resulting from the use of materials, equipment or workmanship, which are
defective, inferior, or not in accordance with the terms of the Contract, for one (1) year from the
48
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
date of Final Completion of the entire Project by the Owner. Equipment and facilities which have
seasonal limitations on their operation (e.g. heating or air conditioning units) shall be guaranteed
for one (1) full year from the date of seasonally appropriate tests and acceptance, in writing, by the
Owner. Where the Owner agrees to take Beneficial Occupancy of a portion or phase of the Work
which has been determined to be substantially complete before the entire Work is finally
completed, the guarantees for the materials, equipment and workmanship in that portion or phase
shall begin on the date that the Owner takes Beneficial Occupancy, unless otherwise specified in
the Supplemental General Conditions, Special Conditions, or by separate agreement. At six (6)
months and eleven (11) months after substantial completion, the Contractor shall meet with the
Owner to review the status of and assign value to any unresolved warranty, guarantee, and punch
list items.
(b)
If, within any guarantee period, Work which is not in accordance with the Contract, Defective
Work, or inferior material, equipment or workmanship is noted by the Owner or
Architect/Engineer which requires or renders necessary repairs or changes in connection with the
guaranteed Work, the Contractor shall, promptly upon receipt of notice from the Owner, such
notice being given not later than two weeks after the guarantee period expires, and without
expense to the Owner:
(1)
Place in satisfactory condition in every particular all of such guaranteed Work and correct
all defects, inferior materials, equipment or workmanship therein;
(2)
Make good all damage to the structure or Site or equipment or contents thereof, which, in
the opinion of the Owner or the Architect/Engineer, 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; and
(3)
Make good any Work or materials or the equipment and contents of structures and/or Site
disturbance that results from fulfilling the provisions of this Section.
(c)
In any case, when in fulfilling the requirements of the Contract and this guarantee or any other
guaranty or warranty, the Contractor disturbs any work performed by a separate contractor, he
shall restore such work to a condition satisfactory to the Architect/Engineer and Owner and
guarantee such restored work to the same extent as if it was guaranteed under this Contract.
(d)
If the Contractor, after notice, fails to proceed promptly to comply with the terms of the guarantee
as set forth in this Section, the Owner may have the defects or inferior materials, equipment or
workmanship corrected and the Contractor and his surety shall be liable for all expense incurred.
(e)
All special warranties and guarantees applicable to definite parts of the Work that may be
stipulated in or required by the Contract Documents shall be subject to the terms of this Section
during the first year of the life of such special warranty or guarantee.
(f)
The guarantee of this Section shall be in addition to and not in lieu of all other warranties, express
or implied, applicable to or arising from this Contract or by law.
(g)
Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect
to any other obligation which the Contractor might have under the Contract Documents, including
liability for Defective Work under Section 30. This Section relates only to the specific obligation
of the Contractor as set forth in this Section to correct the Work and does not limit the time within
which his obligation to comply with the Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor
the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish the Contractor's liability with
respect to his other obligations under the Contract Documents.

CO-7
(h)
In the event the Work of the Contractor is to be modified by another contractor, either before or
after the Final Inspection provided by Section 44 of the General Conditions, the first Contractor
shall remain responsible in all respects under this Section's Guarantee of Work and under any
other warranties or guarantees, express or implied, applicable to or arising from this Contract or by
law. However, the Contractor shall not be responsible for any defects in material or workmanship
introduced by the contractor modifying his Work. The first Contractor and the contractor making
the modifications shall each be solely responsible for his respective work. The contractor
modifying the earlier Work shall be responsible for any damage to or defect introduced into the
Work by his modification. If the first contractor claims that a subsequent contractor has introduced
defects of materials and/or workmanship into his Work, it shall be the burden of the contractor
making the claim to demonstrate clearly the nature and extent of such introduced defects and the
other contractor's responsibility for those defects. Any contractor modifying the work of another
shall have the same burden if he asserts that defects in his work were caused by the contractor
whose work he is modifying.
(i)
The Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Owner and
the Owner’s consultants, representatives, agents and employees from and against any and all
claims, causes of action, losses, costs, expenses or damages, including but not limited to attorney's
fees, of any kind or nature whatsoever, arising from or relating to any bodily injury, including
sickness, disease or death, or any property damage, that result from or arise out of the work
performed by the Contractor, or by or in consequence of any neglect in safeguarding the Work,
through the use of unacceptable materials in the Work, or resulting from any act, omission,
negligence, or misconduct of the Contractor, any of his subcontractors, anyone directly or
indirectly employed by them or anyone for whose acts they may be liable. The Owner may retain
as much of the moneys due the Contractor under the Contract as the Owner considers necessary to
ensure that a fund will be available to pay a settlement or judgment of such suits, actions, or
claims. If insufficient monies are or will become due, the Contractor’s surety and/or insurers will
not be released from liability until all such claims and actions have been settled and suitable
evidence to that effect has been furnished the Owner.
ASSIGNMENTS
Neither party to the Contract shall assign the Contract in whole or any part without the written
consent of the other, nor shall the Contractor assign any moneys due or to become due to him
hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Owner. Consent to assignment shall not be
unreasonably withheld. No assignment shall relieve any party from its obligations under the
Contract.
47.
CONTRACTUAL DISPUTES (§2.2-4363, Code of Virginia)
(a)
Contractual claims, whether for money or for other relief, shall be submitted, in writing, no later
than sixty (60) days after Final Payment; however, written notice of the Contractor's intention to
file such claim must be given within fourteen (14) days of the time of the occurrence or beginning
of the Work upon which the claim is based. Such notice shall state that it is a “notice of intent to
file a claim” and include a written statement describing the act or omission of the Owner or its
agents that allegedly caused or may cause damage to the Contractor and the nature of the claimed
damage. The submission of a timely notice is a prerequisite to recovery under this Section. Failure
to submit such notice of intent within the time and in the manner required shall be a conclusive
waiver of the claim by the Contractor. Oral notice, the Owner’s actual knowledge, or a written
notice given after the expiration of fourteen (14) days of time of the occurrence or beginning of
the Work upon which the claim is based, shall not be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this
Section. Although the Contractor may be required to submit certain classes of claims prior to Final
Payment, and the Contractor is not prevented from submitting claims during the pendency of the
Work, the Owner shall not be obligated to render a final written decision on any claim until after
50
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
Final Payment. All claims shall state that they are “claims” pursuant to this Section, be submitted
along with all practically available supporting evidence and documentation and the certification
required by Subsection 47(f), and request a final decision. Certificates for payment, applications
for payment, vouchers, invoices and similar requests for payment submitted for work done by the
Contractor in accordance with the expected contract performance are routine submissions and
shall not be considered claims under this Section. Proposed or requested change orders, demands
for money compensation or other relief, and correspondence and e-mails to the Owner or its
representatives, which do not strictly comply with the requirements of this Section, shall not be
considered claims under this Section.
48.
(b)
No written decision denying a claim or addressing issues related to the claim shall be considered a
denial pursuant to this Section unless the written decision makes express reference to this Section
and is signed by the Agency head or his designee. The Contractor may not institute legal action
prior to receipt of the Owner's final written decision on the claim unless the Owner fails to render
such a decision within ninety (90) days of submission of the claim, at which time the claim shall
be deemed denied.
(c)
The decision of the agency head or other signatory on the Contract shall be final and conclusive
unless the Contractor within six (6) months of the date of the final decision on a claim, initiates
legal action as provided in § 2.2-4364 of the Code of Virginia. Failure of the Owner to render a
decision within 90 days shall not result in the Contractor being awarded the relief claimed nor
shall it result in any other relief or penalty. The sole result of the Owner's failure to render a
decision within 90 days shall be the Contractor's right to immediately institute legal action. No
administrative appeals procedure pursuant to § 2.2-4365 of the Code of Virginia has been
established for contractual claims under this Contract.
(d)
Pursuant to § 2.2-4366, Alternative Dispute Resolution, of the Code of Virginia, the Owner may
enter into an agreement with the Contractor to submit disputes arising from the performance of
this Contract to arbitration and utilize mediation and other alternative dispute resolution
procedures. However, such procedures entered into by the Owner, the Commonwealth, or any
department, institution, division, commission, board or bureau thereof, shall be non-binding and
subject to § 2.2-514, as applicable.
(e)
In the event that a dispute, claim or controversy between the Owner and the Contractor arises
regarding the requirements of the Contract, the performance of the Work, payment due the
Contractor, the terms of any Change Order, or otherwise, the Contractor shall not stop, suspend or
delay the Work or any part of the Work to be performed under the Contract, or under any Change
Order, or as ordered by the Owner. The Contractor shall continue to diligently prosecute the Work to
completion, including work required in any Change Order or as directed by the Owner.
(f)
Along with a claim submitted under this Section, the Contractor shall submit a claim certification
form. Claims submitted without the certification form shall not constitute a proper claim and, if
not submitted with the certification within the time required, shall be deemed to be waived.
(g)
The remedies provided in these General Conditions, including costs, expenses, damages or
extensions of time, shall be the Contractor’s sole remedies for the acts, omissions or breaches of
the Owner, which shall survive termination or breach of the Contract.
ASBESTOS
(a)
This subsection applies to projects involving existing buildings where asbestos abatement is not a
part of the Work, when the scope of the project has been reviewed and a comprehensive survey
51
DGS-30-054
(04/13)
CO-7
conducted by an individual licensed by the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational
Regulation to conduct building inspections for asbestos containing materials in buildings, and
where the Owner has attempted to remove or encapsulate all asbestos containing material that may
become friable or damaged during this Project.
Prior to commencement of Work, the results of the comprehensive survey or any other asbestos
survey shall be made available to the Contractor, who shall be responsible for performing his
Work so as not to disturb any remaining asbestos, encapsulated or otherwise, identified in such
survey or surveys.
If the Contractor discovers or inadvertently disturbs any material that he knows, should have
known or has reason to believe, may contain asbestos that has not been previously identified, was
overlooked during the removal, was deemed not to be friable or was encapsulated, the Contractor
shall stop Work in the area containing or suspected to contain the asbestos, secure the area, and
notify the Owner and the Architect/Engineer immediately by telephone or in person with written
notice as soon as possible. The Owner will have the suspect material sampled.
If the sample is positive and must be disturbed in the course of the Work, the Owner shall have the
material repaired or removed and shall pay for the bulk sample analysis.
Except as provided in §11-4.1 of the Code of Virginia, if the material disturbed is not within the
Contractor's authorized Work and/or Work area or under this Contract, the Contractor shall pay for
all associated sampling and abatement costs.
49.
50.
(b)
If asbestos abatement is included as a part of the Work, the Contractor shall assure that the
asbestos abatement work is accomplished by those duly licensed as described in Section 3 of these
General Conditions and in accordance with the specific requirements of the Contract and all
applicable laws and regulations.
(c)
If asbestos abatement is included as part of the Work, the licensed asbestos Subcontractor shall
obtain the insurance required under Section 11 (e) of these General Conditions.
TRAINING, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT
(a)
As a part of the Work, the Contractor in conjunction with his Subcontractors and Suppliers shall
provide the Owner's operations and maintenance personnel with adequate instruction and training
in the proper operation and maintenance of any equipment, systems, and related controls provided
or altered in the Work. The training requirements may be further defined in the specifications.
(b)
The Contractor shall provide the Owner with a minimum of two (2) copies of operating,
maintenance and parts manuals for all equipment and systems provided in the Work. Further
specific requirements may be indicated in the specifications.

of information and cooperate to accomplish the Work as required by the Contract Documents. The

In the event of the Contractor's Default, and subsequent notification to the Surety pursuant to
Section 41 of the General Conditions of the Construction Contract, the Surety shall, within
fourteen (14) days of receipt of such notice, contact the Owner in writing, and arrange a
meeting with the Owner to discuss methods of completing the Construction Contract. See
paragraph 4, below, for the options to be discussed. If the Surety fails to arrange a meeting
or fails to attend such meeting, the Surety shall be deemed to be in default on this Bond and
the Owner may, at its sole discretion, take what measures it deems necessary to protect the
Owner's interests, without further notice to the Surety, and the Owner shall be entitled to
enforce any remedy available to the Owner under the Construction Contract or under
Virginia law.
4
Within thirty (30) days after such meeting, during which time the Surety may investigate and
otherwise analyze the project, and which period shall not toll any Construction Contract time
periods nor operate as a waiver of any of the Owner's rights, the Surety shall, at its own
expense, notify the Owner in writing that it is taking one of the following actions, which
shall be acceptable to the Owner, at the Owner's sole discretion:
4.1 By written takeover agreement with the Owner, the Surety itself shall undertake to
perform and complete the Construction Contract, which it may do through its licensed
agents or through licensed independent contractors. If the Owner, at its sole discretion,
consents, the Contractor may serve as the Surety's independent contractor (however, due
to conflicts with the Virginia Public Procurement Act, the Owner may not directly
contract with an otherwise qualified independent contractor produced by the Surety); or
4.2 The Surety may, if acceptable to the Owner and at the Owner's sole discretion, waive
its right to perform and complete the Construction Contract, and with reasonable
promptness under the circumstances:
4.2.1 Pay to the Owner all amounts for which it may be liable to the
Owner as surety on this Performance Bond, including the damages
described in paragraph 6 below; or
4.2.2 Deny liability, in whole or in part, and provide written notice
thereof to the Owner, citing reasons therefor.
5
If, after the meeting described in paragraph 4, above, the Surety does not proceed with
reasonable promptness with one of the options provided in subparagraphs 4.1 or 4.2
DGS-30-084
CO-10
(Rev 09/07)
Page 4 of 5
(including its subparts), above, the Owner may send additional written notice to the
Surety demanding that the Surety perform its obligations under the Bond. If the Surety
does not proceed to perform its obligations under the Bond within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of said notice, the Surety shall be deemed to be in default on this Bond.
Thereafter, the Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to the Owner
under the Bond, the Construction Contract or Virginia law. If the Surety proceeds as
provided in Subparagraph 4.2, and the Surety and the Owner are unable to agree as to the
amount for which the Surety may be liable to the Owner, or if the Surety has denied
liability, in whole or in part, the Owner, without further notice, shall be entitled to
enforce any remedy available to the Owner under the Bond, the Construction Contract or
Virginia law. In such event, the Owner may immediately proceed to complete the work
in any manner authorized by law.
6
After the Owner has terminated the Contractor’s right to complete the Construction Contract,
and if the Surety elects to act under Subparagraph 4.1 or 4.2.1, above, then the
responsibilities of the Surety to the Owner shall not be greater or less than those of the
Contractor under the Construction Contract, and the responsibilities of the Owner to the
Surety shall not be greater than or less than those of the Owner under the Construction
Contract. To the limit of the amount of this Bond, plus the increased cost of any change
orders under the Construction Contract, provided the Owner commits the balance of the
Construction Contract Price to the prompt and faithful completion of the Construction
Contract, the Surety is obligated without duplication for:
6.1
The responsibilities of the Contractor for correction of defective work and
completion of the Construction Contract;
6.2
Additional legal, design professional and delay costs resulting from the
Contractor’s Default, and resulting from the actions or failure to act of the Surety
under Paragraph 4; and
6.3
Liquidated damages, or if no liquidated damages are specified in the Construction
Contract, actual damages caused by delayed performance or non-performance of
the Contractor.
The Owner, at its sole discretion, may waive its claim to delay costs and/or liquidated
damages.
7
The Surety shall not be liable to the Owner for obligations of the Contractor that are
unrelated to the Construction Contract, and the Balance of the Contract Price shall not be
reduced or set off on account of any such unrelated obligations. No right of action shall
accrue on this Bond to any person or entity other than the Owner, its officers, agencies,
administrators, successors or assigns.
8
The Surety hereby waives notice of any changes, including changes of time, to the
Construction Contract or to related subcontracts, purchase orders and other obligations.
The Surety understands and agrees that the penal amount of the bond shall be increased
or decreased by any changes to time and amount incorporated into any Change Orders.

Any proceeding by the Owner, legal or equitable, under this Bond may be instituted in any
Virginia state court of competent jurisdiction, as permitted under Section 8 of the General
Conditions of the Construction Contract and Virginia Code § 2.2-4337 and 2.2-4340, or by
the Contractor or Surety, as permitted under the Construction Contract or under Virginia law.
10 Notice to the Surety shall be mailed or delivered to the address shown on the Standard
Performance Bond in the space for Surety address for delivery of Notices
11 When this Bond has been furnished to comply with a statutory or other legal requirement in
the location where the construction was to be performed, any provision in this Bond
conflicting with said statutory or legal requirement shall be deemed deleted herefrom and
provisions conforming to such statutory or other legal requirement shall be deemed
incorporated herein. The intent is that this Bond shall be construed as a statutory bond and
not as a common law bond when furnished to comply with statutory requirements.
12 DEFINITIONS
12.1
Balance of the Construction Contract Price: The total amount payable by the
Owner to the Contractor under the Construction Contract after all proper
adjustments have been made, reduced by all valid and proper payments made to
or on behalf of the Contractor under the Construction Contract.
12.2
Construction Contract: The agreement between the Owner and the Contractor
identified on first page of the Standard Performance Bond, DGS-30-084, CO-10,
including all Construction Contract Documents and duly executed modifications
and change orders thereto.
12.3
Contractor Default: Failure of the Contractor, as defined under Section 41 of
the General Conditions to the Construction Contract, which has neither been
remedied, as permitted under Section 41 at the Owner's sole discretion, nor
expressly waived by the Owner, to perform or otherwise to comply with the terms
of the Construction Contract.
13 Nothing in these General Conditions shall prevent a surety from becoming involved in the
Construction Contract prior to termination, upon notice from the Owner of the Contractor's
failure to promptly and faithfully perform the Construction Contract in strict conformity with
the plans, specifications and conditions of the Construction Contract.

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA
STANDARD LABOR AND MATERIAL PAYMENT BOND
KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: That
principal place of business is located
‘Notices’ is located at
and
, the Contractor (“Principal”) whose
(“Surety”) whose address for delivery of
are held and firmly bound unto the Commonwealth of Virginia,
, the Owner (“Obligee”) in the amount of
Dollars ($
) for the payment whereof
Principal and Surety bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.
WHEREAS,
Principal has by written agreement dated
entered into a contract with Obligee for
which contract (the "Contract") is by reference expressly made a part hereof;
NOW THEREFORE, THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION is such that, if the
Principal shall promptly make payment to all claimants as hereinafter defined, for labor
performed and material furnished in the prosecution of the Work provided for in the Contract,
then this obligation shall be void; otherwise it shall remain in full force and effect, subject,
however, to the following conditions.
The Principal and Surety, jointly and severally, hereby agree with Obligee as follows:
1.
A claimant is defined as one having a direct contract with the Principal or with a subcontractor of the
Principal for labor, material, or both for use in the performance of the Contract. A ''subcontractor'' of the
Principal, for the purposes of this bond only, includes not only those subcontractors having a direct
contractual relationship with the Principal, but also any other contractor who undertakes to participate in
the Work which the Principal is to perform under the aforesaid Contract, whether there are one or more
intervening subcontractors contractually positioned between it and the Principal (for example, a
subcontractor). ''Labor'' and ''material'' shall include, but not be limited to, public utility services and
reasonable rentals of equipment, but only for periods when the equipment rented is actually used at the
work site.
2.
Any claimant who has a direct contractual relationship with the Principal and who has performed labor or
furnished material in accordance with the Contract documents in furtherance of the Work provided in the
Contract, who has not been paid in full therefor before the expiration of ninety (90) days after the day on
which such claimant performed the last of such labor or furnished the last of such materials for which he
claims payment, may bring an action on this bond to recover any amount due him for such labor or
material, and may prosecute such action to final judgment and have execution on the judgment. The
Obligee need not be a party to such action and shall not be liable for the payment of any costs, fees or
expenses of any such suit.
3.
Any claimant who has a direct contractual relationship with any subcontractor of the Principal but who has
no contractual relationship, express or implied, with the Principal, may bring an action on this bond only if
he has given written notice to the Principal within ninety (90) days from the day on which the claimant
performed the last of the labor or furnished the last of the materials for which he claims payment, stating
with substantial accuracy the amount claimed and the name of the person for whom the Work was
performed or to whom the material was furnished. Notice to the Principal shall be served by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, in an envelope addressed to the Principal at any place where his office is

regularly maintained for the transaction of business. Claims for sums withheld as retainages with respect to
labor performed or materials furnished shall not be subject to the time limitations stated in this paragraph 3.
4.
5.
No suit or action shall be commenced hereunder by any claimant.
a.
Unless brought within one year after the day on which the person bringing such action last
performed labor or last furnished or supplied materials, it being understood, however, that if any
limitation embodied in this bond is prohibited by any law controlling the construction hereof, the
limitation embodied within this bond shall be deemed to be amended so as to be equal to the
minimum period of limitation permitted by such law.
b.
Other than in a Virginia court of competent jurisdiction, with venue as provided by statute, or in
the United States District Court for the district in which the project, or any part thereof is situated.
The amount of this bond shall be reduced by and to the extent of any payment or payments made in good
faith hereunder.

from Project site and legally dispose of off Project site. Damaged glass is glass with edge
damage or other imperfections that, when installed, could weaken glass and impair
performance and appearance.
D.
Apply primers to joint surfaces where required for adhesion of sealants, as determined by
preconstruction testing.
E.
Install setting blocks in sill rabbets, sized and located to comply with referenced glazing
publications, unless otherwise required by glass manufacturer. Set blocks in thin course of

Install correct size and spacing to preserve required face clearances, unless gaskets and
glazing tapes are used that have demonstrated ability to maintain required face
clearances and to comply with system performance requirements.
Provide 1/8-inch minimum bite of spacers on glass and use thickness equal to sealant
width. With glazing tape, use thickness slightly less than final compressed thickness of
tape.
H.
Provide edge blocking where indicated or needed to prevent glass lites from moving sideways
in glazing channel, as recommended in writing by glass manufacturer and according to
requirements in referenced glazing publications.

11.
Splay hangers only where required to miss obstructions; offset resulting horizontal forces
by bracing, countersplaying, or other equally effective means.
Where width of ducts and other construction within ceiling plenum produces hanger
spacings that interfere with location of hangers at spacings required to support standard
suspension system members, install supplemental suspension members and hangers in
form of trapezes or equivalent devices.
Secure wire hangers to ceiling suspension members and to supports above with a
minimum of three tight turns. Connect hangers directly either to structures or to inserts,
eye screws, or other devices that are secure and appropriate for substrate and that will
not deteriorate or otherwise fail due to age, corrosion, or elevated temperatures.
Secure flat, angle, channel, and rod hangers to structure, including intermediate framing
members, by attaching to inserts, eye screws, or other devices that are secure and
appropriate for both structure to which hangers are attached and type of hanger involved.
Install hangers in a manner that will not cause them to deteriorate or fail due to age,
corrosion, or elevated temperatures.
Do not support ceilings directly from permanent metal forms or floor deck. Fasten
hangers to cast-in-place hanger inserts, postinstalled mechanical or adhesive anchors, or
power-actuated fasteners that extend through forms into concrete.
When steel framing does not permit installation of hanger wires at spacing required,

10.
11.
Install hangers plumb and free from contact with insulation or other objects within ceiling
plenum that are not part of supporting structure or of ceiling suspension system.
Splay hangers only where required to miss obstructions; offset resulting horizontal forces
by bracing, counter-splaying, or other equally effective means.
Where width of ducts and other construction within ceiling plenum produces hanger
spacings that interfere with location of hangers at spacings required to support standard
suspension-system members, install supplemental suspension members and hangers in
form of trapezes or equivalent devices.
Secure wire hangers to ceiling suspension members and to supports above with a
minimum of three tight turns. Connect hangers directly either to structures or to inserts,
eye screws, or other devices that are secure and appropriate for substrate and that do
not deteriorate or otherwise fail due to age, corrosion, or elevated temperatures.
Secure flat, angle, channel, and rod hangers to structure, including intermediate framing
members, by attaching to inserts, eye screws, or other devices that are secure and
appropriate for both structure to which hangers are attached and hanger type involved.
Install hangers in a manner that does not cause them to deteriorate or fail due to age,
corrosion, or elevated temperatures.
Do not support ceilings directly from permanent metal forms or floor deck. Fasten
hangers to cast-in-place hanger inserts, postinstalled mechanical or adhesive anchors, or
power-actuated fasteners that extend through forms into concrete.
When steel framing does not permit installation of hanger wires at spacing required,
install carrying channels or other supplemental support for attachment of hanger wires.
Do not attach hangers to steel deck tabs.
Do not attach hangers to steel roof deck. Attach hangers to structural members.
Space hangers not more than 48 inches o.c. along each member supported directly from

A.
Under each applicable section of the detailed plumbing specifications, the Contractor shall furnish
and install as shown on the drawings or as necessary to complete the working system in
accordance with the intent of the drawings and specifications, a complete system of piping, valves,
supports, anchors, sleeves, and all other appurtenances. The piping drawings are diagrammatic
and indicate the general location and connections. The piping may have to be offset, lowered, or
raised as required or as directed at the site. This does not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for
the proper erection of systems of piping in every respect suitable for the work intended as described
in the specifications and as approved by the Architect/Engineer. Wherever two dissimilar metals join
in any piping system, install a dielectric fitting at their intersection.
B.
Erection: Piping shall be properly supported and adequate provisions shall be made for expansion,
contraction, slope, and anchorage without damage to joints or hangers. All piping shall be cut
accurately for fabrication to measurements established at the construction site. Pipe shall be
worked into place without springing and/or forcing, properly clearing all windows, doors, and other
openings and equipment. Cutting or other weakening of the building structure to facilitate piping
installation will not be permitted without written approval. Pipe extending through the roof shall be
properly flashed. All changes in direction shall be made with fittings. Wherever pipe hanger bears
directly on the pipe being supported, the hanger shall be of the same material as the pipe.
C.
Arrangement: All piping shall be arranged so as not to interfere with removal of other equipment or
devices nor to block access to doors, windows, manholes, or other access openings. Piping shall
be arranged so as to facilitate removal of tube bundles. Flanges or unions, as applicable for the
type of piping specified, shall be provided in the piping at connections to all items of equipment.
Piping shall be placed and installed so that there will be no interference with the installation of the
equipment, ducts, etc. All piping shall be installed to ensure noiseless circulation. All piping shall be
erected and pitched to ensure proper drainage. Piping shall be installed so as to avoid liquid or air
pockets throughout the work. Pipe in finished areas shall be concealed. Install piping generally
parallel to walls and column centerlines, unless shown otherwise on the drawings. Space piping,
including insulation, to provide one inch minimum clearance between adjacent piping or other
surface. Pipe shall be installed to permit free expansion and contraction without damage to joints or
hangers. Exposed piping shall be installed in practical alignment with the building. All valves and
specialties shall be placed to permit easy operation and access, and all valves shall be regulated,
packed, and glands adjusted at the completion of the work before final acceptance. Water pipes
shall not be installed in attic spaces, crawl spaces, exterior walls or similar areas which are subject
to freezing, unless indicated to be heat traced.
D.
Installation of Underground Pipe: Each pipe shall be laid true to line and grade and in such manner
as to form a close concentric joint with adjoining pipe and to prevent sudden offsets to flow line. As
work progresses, the interior of the pipe shall be cleared of dirt and superfluous materials of every
description. Where cleaning after laying is difficult because of small pipe size, a suitable swag or
drag shall be kept in the pipe and pulled forward past each joint immediately after jointing has been
completed. Trenches shall be kept free from water until pipe jointing material has set. Pipe shall not
be laid when the condition of the trench or weather is unsuitable for such work. At all times when
work is not in progress, all open ends of pipe and fittings shall be securely closed so that no water,
earth, or other substance will enter the pipe or fittings.
