<br />§2.3.6 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Owner shall furnish to the Contractor one electronic copy of
<br />the Contract Documents for purposes of making reproductions pursuant to Section1.5.2.
<br />§2.4Owner’sRighttoStoptheWork
<br />If the Contractor fails to correct Work that is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents as required
<br />by Section12.2 or repeatedly fails to carry out Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Owner may issue a
<br />written order to the Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated;
<br />however, the right of the Owner to stop the Work shall not give rise to a duty on the part of the Owner to exercise this right for
<br />the benefit of the Contractor or any other person or entity, except to the extent required by Section6.1.3.
<br />§2.5Owner’sRighttoCarryOuttheWork
<br />If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents and fails within a ten-
<br />day period after receipt of notice from the Owner to commence and continue correction of such default or neglect with
<br />diligence and promptness, the Owner may, without prejudice to other remedies the Owner may have, correct such default or
<br />neglect. Such action by the Owner and amounts charged to the Contractor are both subject to prior approval of the Architect
<br />and the Architect may, pursuant to Section 9.5.1, withhold or nullify a Certificate for Payment in whole or in part, to the
<br />extent reasonably necessary to reimburse the Owner for the reasonable cost of correcting such deficiencies, including Owner’s
<br />expenses and compensation forthe Architect’s additional services made necessary by such default, neglect, or failure. If
<br />current and future payments are not sufficient to cover such amounts, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner. If
<br />the Contractor disagrees with the actions of the Owner or the Architect, or the amounts claimed as costs to the Owner, the
<br />Contractor may file a Claim pursuant to Article 15.
<br />ARTICLE3 CONTRACTOR
<br />§3.1 General
<br />§3.1.1 The Contractor is the person or entity identified as such in the Agreement and is referred to throughout the Contract
<br />Documents as if singular in number. The Contractor shall be lawfully licensed, if required in the jurisdiction where the Project
<br />is located. The Contractor shall designate in writing a representative who shall have express authority to bind the Contractor
<br />with respect to all matters under this Contract. The term “Contractor” means the Contractor or the Contractor’s authorized
<br />representative.
<br />§3.1.2 The Contractor shall perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
<br />§3.1.3 The Contractor shall not be relieved of its obligations to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents
<br />either by activities or duties of the Architect in the Architect’s administration of the Contract, or by tests, inspections or
<br />approvals required or performed by persons or entities other than the Contractor.
<br />§3.2 Review of Contract Documents and Field Conditions by Contractor
<br />§3.2.1 By executing the Contract, the Contractor represents that the Contractor has reviewed the Contract Documents, has
<br />visited the Site and is familiar with local conditions under which the Work is to be performed, and has correlated personal
<br />observations with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
<br />§3.2.2 Because the Contract Documents are complementary, the Contractor shall, before starting each portion of the Work,
<br />carefully study and compare the various Contract Documents relative to that portion of the Work, as well as the information
<br />furnished by the Owner pursuant to Section2.3.4, shall take field measurements of any existing conditions related to that
<br />portion of the Work, and shall observe any conditions at the site affecting it. These obligations are for the purpose of
<br />facilitating coordination and construction by the Contractor and are not for the purpose of discovering errors, omissions, or
<br />inconsistencies in the Contract Documents; however, the Contractor shall promptly report to the Architect any errors,
<br />inconsistencies or omissions discovered by or made known to the Contractor as a request for information in such form as the
<br />Architect may require. It is recognized that the Contractor’s review is made in the Contractor’s capacity as a contractor and
<br />not as a licensed design professional, unless otherwise specifically provided in the Contract Documents.
<br />§3.2.3 The Contractor is not required to ascertain that the Contract Documents are in accordance with applicable laws,
<br />statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, or lawful orders of public authorities, but the Contractor shall promptly
<br />report to the Architect any nonconformity discovered by or made known to the Contractor as a request for information in such
