4.3 CLAIMS AND DISPUTES
(a) Definition; General Notice of Claim Procedure. As used in these General Conditions, a
"Claim" means a demand or assertion by one of the parties to the Contract seeking an
adjustment of the terms of the Contract Documents, of the Contract Sum, of the Contract
Time, or some other relief in respect to the terms of the Contract Documents. The term
also includes all other disputes between the Owner and the Contractor arising out of or
relating to the Project or the Contract Documents, including but not limited to claims that
work was outside the scope of the Contract Documents. The responsibility to substantiate
the Claim and the burden of demonstrating compliance with this provision shall rest with
the party making the Claim. Except where otherwise provided in the Contract
Documents, a Claim by the Contractor, whether for additional compensation, additional
time, or other relief, including but not limited to claims arising from concealed
conditions, MUST BE MADE BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE
ARCHITECT/ENGINEER AND THE OWNER WITHIN FOURTEEN (14) DAYS
AFTER OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT OR EVENTS GIVING RISE TO THE
PARTICULAR CLAIM. Every Claim of the Contractor, whether for additional
compensation, additional time, or other relief, including but not limited to claims arising
from concealed conditions, shall be signe;d and sworn to by an authorized corporate
officer (if not a corporation, then an official of the company authorized to bind the
Contractor by his signature) of the Contractor, verifying the truth and accuracy of the
Claim. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WANED ANY
CLAIM NOT MADE STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURE AND
TIME LIMITS SET OUT IN THIS PARAGRAPH.
(b) Referral to the ArchitecdEngineer. Claims, disputes, and other matters in question
between the Contractor and the Owner relating to the progress or execution of the Work
or the interpretation of the Contract Documents shall be referred to the
ArchitecdEngineer for recommendation to the Owner, which recommendation the

Owner in such circumstances only if:
(1) a concealed subsurface condition is encountered in the course of performance of the
W ork;
(2) a concealed or unknown condition in an existing structure is at variance with
conditions indicated by the Contract Documents; or
(3) an unknown physical condition is encountered below the surface of the ground or in
an existing structure which is of an unusual nature and materially different from those
ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the character of the
Work; and
(4) a notice of claim with proper and adequate substantiation is presented pursuant to
Subparagraph 4.3(a) of these General Conditions; and
(5) the Owner and the Architect/Engineer determine that:
(i) prior to submitting its bid for the Work, the Contractor used reasonable diligence
to fully inspect the portion of the Project site where the condition was discovered; and
(ii) the work caused or required by the concealed or unknown condition at issue can
be considered extra work to the extent that additional new Drawings must be prepared
and issued and new construction bey��nd the scope of the Contract Documents is
required.
(e) Disclaimer of Wananties as to Reports, Drawings, and Specifications. PROJECT SITE
INFORMATION AND REPORTS (1NCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SOILS
TESTING REPORTS, GEOTECHNICAL REPORTS, OR ENVIRONMENTAL SITE
ASSESSMENTS) PROVIDED BY THE OWNER AND THE

(3) failure of payment by the Owner;
(4) termination of the Contract by the Owner;
(5) the Owner's temporary suspension of all or any portion of the Work where the
Contractor was not at fault; or
(6) other reasonable grounds.

detail to enable the Architect/Engineer and the Owner to investigate the matter.
(h) Subcontractor Pass-Through Claims. In the event that any Subcontractor of the
Contractor asserts a claim to the Contractor that the Contractor seeks to pass through to
the Owner under the Contract Documents, any entitlement of the Contractor to submit
and assert the claim against the Owner shall be subject to:
(1) the requirements of Paragraph 4.3 of these General Conditions; and
(2) the following additional three requirements listed below, all three of which additional
requirements shall be conditions precedent to the entitlement of the Contractor to seek
and assert such claim against the Owner:
(ii) The Contractor shall either (A) have direct legal liability as a matter of contract,
common law, or statutory law to the Subcontractor for the claim that the
Subcontractor is asserting or (B) the Contractor shall have entered into a written
liquidating agreement with the Subcontractor, under which agreement the Contractor
has agreed to be legally responsible to the Subcontractor for pursing the assertion of
such claim against the Owner under the Contract and for paying to the Subcontractor
any amount that may be recovered, less Contractor's included markup (subject to the
limits in the Contract Documents for any markup). The liability or responsibilities
shall be identified in writing by the Contractor to the Owner at the time such claim is
submitted to Owner, and a copy of any liquidating agreement shall be included by the
Contractor in the claim submittal materials.
(ii) The Contractor shall have reviewed the claim of the Subcontractor prior to its
submittal to Owner and shall have independently evaluated such claim in good faith
to determine the extent to which the claim is believed in good faith to be valid. The
Contractor shall also certify, in writing and under oath to the Owner, at the time of the
submittal of such claim, that the Contractor has made a review, evaluation, and
determination that the claim is made in good faith and is believed to be valid.
(iii) The Subcontractor making the claim to the Contractor shall certify in writing and
under oath that it has compiled, revievrred and evaluated the merits of such claim and
that the claim is believed in good faith by the Subcontractor to be valid. A copy of the
certification by the Subcontractor shall be included by Contractor in the claim
submittal materials.
(3) Any failure of the Contractor to comply with any of the foregoing requirements and
conditions precedent with regard to any such claim shall constitute a waiver of any
entitlement to submit or pursue such claim.
(4) Receipt and review of a claim by the Owner under this Subparagraph shall not be
construed as a waiver of any defenses to the claim available to the Owner under the
Contract Documents or law.
(i) Owner's Right to Order Acceleration and to Deny Claimed and Appropriate Time
Extensions, in Whole or in Part. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that
Substantial Completion of the Work by or before the Scheduled Completion Date is
of substantial importance to Owner. The following provisions, therefore, will apply:
(1) If the Contractor falls behind the approved construction schedule for whatever
reason, the Owner shall have the right, in the Owner's sole discretion, to order the
Contractor to develop a recovery schedule as described in Paragraph 3.10 or to
accelerate its progress in such a manner as to achieve Substantial Completion on
or before the Contract Time completion date or such other date as the Owner may
reasonably direct and, upon receipt, the Contractor shall take all action necessary
to comply with the order. In such event, any possible right, if any, of the
Contractor to additional compensation for any acceleration shall be subject to the
terms of this Subparagraph (i).
(2) In the event that the Contractor is otherwise entitled to an extension of Contract
Time and has properly initiated a Claim for a time extension in accordance with
Subparagraph 4.3(a) above, the Owner shall have the right, in the Owner's sole
discretion, to deny all, or any part, of the Claim fo� �:�t����i�� �f` (:�"�r�tr���t. ,i"�yr�c� ���
giving written notice to the Contractor provided v��t���� ii�r,���"t'����� � 1��r� �'���"� ����"

an extension of Contract Time under this Clause (i)(2), either in whole or in part,
the Contractor shall proceed to prosecute the Work in such a manner as to achieve
Substantial Completion on or before the then existing Scheduled Completion
Date.
(3) If the Contractor would have been entitled to a time extension for a reason
specifically allowed under the Contract Documents, for an amount of time that
would have justified approval by the Owner if not for the need and right to
accelerate, the Contractor may initiate a Claim for acceleration costs pursuant to
Subparagraph 4.3(a). Any resulting Claim for acceleration costs properly initiated
by the Contractor under Subparagraph 4.3(a) above shall be limited to those
reasonable and documented direct costs of labor, materials, equipment, and
supervision solely and directly a�t��iri����t�1� t�� ��u� �������� ��������"������� �'����"���'

not be liable for any costs related to an acceleration claim other than those
described in this Clause (i)(3).
(i) Waiver of Claims; Final Payment. The making of final payment shall constitute a wa�ver
of claims by the Owner except those arising from:
(1) claims, security interests, purported liens, or other attempted encumbrances arising
out of the Contract and remaining unsettled;
(2) defective or nonconforming Work appearing after Substantial Completion;
(3) latent defects, as defined in Subparagraph 12.2(d), appearing after Final Completion;
or
(4) the terms of general and special warranties required by the Contract Documents or
allowed or implied by law.

ARTICLE 12 DEFECTIVE AND NONCONFORMING WORK
12.1 UNCOVERING OF WORK
(a) If a portion of the Work is covered contrary to the Architect/Engineer's request or to
requirements specifically expressed in the Contract Documents, the Work must, if
required in writing by the ArchitecUEngineer, be uncovered for the
ArchitecdEngineer's observation and be replaced at the Contractor's expense without
change in the Contract Time.
(b) If a po��ii��tr c�6` ���� '�r'+����� ���� b���� covered which the ArchitecdEngineer has not
specific��Gly �•��t���t�ci t� ��1����"�'� ���`��,�r to it being covered, the Architect/Engineer may
request i�a ;��.�u �a���� '�w'`�a��� ����I g� �1'����1 be uncovered by the Contractor. If such Work is
in accordance with the Contract Documents, costs of uncovering and replacement shall,
by appropriate Change Order, be charged to the Owner. If any Work is not in
accordance with the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall pay the costs of
uncovering, repair, replacement unless the condition was caused by the Owner or a
separate contractor in which event the Owner shall be responsible for payment of such
costs.
12.2 CORRECTION OF WORK
(a) The Contractor shall �rc�w���tl�^ c�a�r���:i 4�'ram�� rejected by the Architect/Engineer as
failing to conform to t�� a°��ra�r`���c,��ut� ��" ti�� Contract Documents, whether observed
before or after Subst�a���i�l C�"t����u��t�ti�ara <�nd whether or not fabricated, installed or
completed. The Contractor shall bear costs of correcting such rejected Work, including
additional testing and inspections and compensation for the ArchitecdEngineer's
services and expenses made necessary thereby.
(b) If any of the Work is found to be defective or nonconforming with the requirements of
the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall correct it promptly after receipt of written
notice from the ArchitecdEngineer or the Owner to do so unless the Owner has
previously given the Contractor a written acceptance or waiver of the defect or
nonconformity. The Contractor's obligation to correct defective or nonconforming
Work remains in effect for:
(1) one year after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion
of the Work;
(2) one year after the date for commencement of warranties established by agreement
in connection with partial occupancy under Subparagraph 9.8(a); or
(3) the stipulated duration of any applicable special warranty required by the Contract
Documents.
(c) The one-year period described in Clauses (b)(1) and (b)(2) shall be extended with
respect to portions of the Work performed, repaired, or corrected after Substantial
Completion by the period of time between Substantial Completion and the actual
completion of the Work.
(d) The obligations of the Contractor under this Paragraph 12.2 shall survive final
acceptance of the Work and termination of this Contract. The Owner shall give notice
to the Contractor promptly after discovery of a defective or nonconforming condition in
the Work. The one-year period stated in Clauses (b)(1) and (b)(2) does not limit the
ability of the Owner to require the Contractor to correct latent defects or
nonconformities in the Work, which defects or nonconformities could not have been
discovered through reasonable diligence by the Owner or the ArchitecdEngineer at the
time the Work was performed or at the time of inspection for certification of
Substantial Completion or Final Completion. The one year period also does not relieve
the Contractor from liability for any defects or deficiencies in the Work that may be
discovered after the expiration of the one year correction period.
(e) The Contractor shall remove from the Project site portions of the Work which are not in
accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and are neither corrected
by the Contractor nor accepted by the Owner.

expenses made necessary as a result of the sale. If the proceeds of sale do not cover
costs which the Contractor should have borne, the Contract Sum shall be reduced by the
deficiency. If payments due to the Contractor then or thereafter are not sufficient to
cover the deficiency, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.
(g) The Contractor shall bear the cost of correcting destroyed or damaged construction of
the Owner or separate contractors, whether the construction is completed or partially
completed, that is caused by the Contractor's correction or removal of Work which is
not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
(h) Nothing contained in this Paragraph 12.2 shall be construed to establish a period of
limitation with respect to other obligations which the Contractor might have under the
Contract Documents. Establishment of the one-year time period as described in
Subparagraph 12.2(b) relates only to the specific obligation of the Contractor to correct
the Work, and has no relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply
with the Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within
which proceedings may be commenced to establish the Contractor's liability with
respect to the Contractor's obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.
(i) Any Work repaired or replaced pursuant to this Article 12 shall be subject to the
provisions of Article 12 to the same extent as Work originally performed or installed.
12.3 ACCEPTANCE OF NONCONFORNIING WORK
The Owner may, in the Owner's sole discretion, accept Work which is not in accordance
with the requirements of the Contract D��cuments instead of requiring its removal and
correction, in which case the Contract Sum will be reduced as appropriate and equitable.
The adjustment will be accomplished whether or not final payment has been made.
ARTICLE 13 COMPLETION OF THE CONTRACT; TERMINATION; TEMPORARY
SUSPENSION
13.1 FINAL COMPLETION OF CONTRACT
The Contract will be considered completed, except as provided in any warranty or
maintenance stipulations, bond, or by law, when all the Work has been finally completed,

payment is made by the Owner.
