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� �'���"� ����" receipt of the Contractor's Claim.

(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� �������� ��������"������� �'����"���' necessary to bring the Work back wai�h�i� '1��� t1��ra �xi�tit�� ��g�rc�v�� �������r������-�r� schedule.

Paragraph. 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. (fl If the Contractor fails to correct defectiv� ��r m�����uc�n����t'��W���'�`t�c"I� v�"i�h��� ��`����������� time after notice from the Owner or the �rc�i�ii��tl�����;o��a��r� t1�� �.)^�'r��'° r���Y ��rr'��t °� w"� accordance with Paragraph 2.4.

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, the fnal inspection is made by the Architect/Engineer, and final acceptance and final payment is made by the Owner. 13.2 WARRANTY FULFILLMENT Prior to the expiration of the specified w��rrar�t,� p��'��;�� ���'����+��"� �'��?" �� ���� �-°�����`���� Documents, the Architect/Engineer will m��l�e � c��'����������� ����������'�r� ���" ���� ��a���� ������ '"�"�"�� advise the Contractor and the Contractor's ���r�t� q��' ���� it���"�s �1���� r��1����� ��,�rr���.�c�r�, �"l�� Architect/Engineer will make a subsequer�t �r��,���t�r�a� ��� i�" il�� �r��`i'��ti����� ��"�� ���w� properly performed, the Architect/Engineer will issue a le�tte;�� �l" r�1���� ���� th�; r��u�r►t�������� stipulations to the Contractor and the Surety.
