<br />Subcontractor or an authorized representative of the Subcontractor. The term “Subcontractor” does not include a Separate
<br />Contractor or the subcontractors of a Separate Contractor.

<br />portion of the Work at the site. The term “Sub-subcontractor” is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular
<br />in number and means a Sub-subcontractor or an authorized representative of the Sub-subcontractor.
<br />§5.2 Award of Subcontracts and Other Contracts for Portions of the Work

<br />Section 471.463, subdivision 5.
<br />§5.2.2 The Contractor shall not contract with a proposed person or entity to whom the Owner or Architect has made
<br />reasonable and timely objection. The Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Contractor has
<br />made reasonable objection.Any objection by Owner, Architect, or Contractor must not be contrary to the requirements of
<br />Minnesota Statutes Section 471.463, subd. 5.
<br />§5.2.3 If the Owner or Architect has reasonable objection to a person or entity proposed by the Contractor, the Contractor
<br />shall propose another to whom the Owner or Architect has no reasonable objection. If the proposed but rejected Subcontractor
<br />was reasonablycapable of performing the Work, the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be increased or decreased by the
<br />difference, if any, occasioned by such change, and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued before commencement of the

<br />change unless the Contractor has acted promptly and responsively in submitting names as required.

<br />by the Subcontractor, to be bound to the Contractor by terms of the Contract Documents, and to assume toward the Contractor
<br />all theobligations and responsibilities, including the responsibility for safety of the Subcontractor’s Work that the Contractor,
<br />by these Contract Documents, assumes toward the Owner and Architect. Each subcontract agreement shall preserve and
<br />protect the rights of the Owner and Architect under the Contract Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by the
<br />Subcontractor so that subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights, and shall allow to the Subcontractor, unless
<br />specifically provided otherwise in the subcontract agreement, the benefit of all rights, remedies, and redress against the
<br />Contractor that the Contractor, by the Contract Documents, has against the Owner. Where appropriate, the Contractor shall
<br />require each Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with Sub-subcontractors. The Contractor shall make available to
<br />each proposed Subcontractor, prior to the execution of the subcontract agreement, copies of the Contract Documents to which
<br />the Subcontractor will be bound, and, upon written request of the Subcontractor, identify to the Subcontractor terms and
<br />conditions of the proposed subcontract agreement that may be at variance with the Contract Documents. Subcontractors will
<br />similarly make copies of applicable portions of such documents available to their respective proposed Sub-subcontractors.
