The Contractor shall do all the work shown on the Plans and described in the Specifications and other Contract Documents and all incidental work considered necessary to substantially complete the Work ready for use, occupancy, or operation in a manner acceptable to the City. 4.2 CONFLICT In the event of any inconsistency, discrepancy or conflict between the Agreement, the Plans, Specifications, and other Contract Documents, the Agreement shall prevail and govern over all except a subsequently executed Contract Addendum; in the event of an inconsistency, discrepancy or conflict between the Plans and Specifications, the Specifications shall prevail and govern. 4.3 DISCREPANCIES IN PLANS Any discrepancies found between the Plans and Specifications and site conditions, or any errors or omissions in the Plans or Specifications, shall be immediately reported to the Engineer and City. The Engineer shall promptly determine the validity and seriousness of the claimed condition and correct any such error or omission in writing, or otherwise direct Contractor. Any work done by the Contractor after his discovery of such discrepancies, errors or omissions shall be done at the Contractor's risk. Any correction or errors or omissions in Plans and Specifications may be made by the Engineer when such correction is necessary for the proper fulfillment of their intention as construed by him. Where said correction of errors or omissions, except as provided in the next two (2) paragraphs below, adds to the amount of work to be done by the Contractor, compensation for said additional work shall be made under the Paragraph 10.7 CHANGES IN THE WORK below, except where the additional work may be classed under some item of work for which a unit price is included in the proposal. The fact that specific mention of any part of work is omitted in the Specifications, whether intentionally or otherwise, when the same is clearly shown or indicated on the Plans, or is usually and customarily required to complete fully such work as is specified herein, will not entitle the Contractor to consideration in the matter of any claim for extra compensation, but the said work must be installed or done the same as if called for by both the Plans and Specifications. 7 All work indicated on the Plans and not mentioned in the Specifications or vice versa, and all work and material usual and necessary to make the Work complete in all its parts, whether or not they are indicated on the Plans or mentioned in the Specifications, shall be furnished and executed the same as if they were called for by both the Plans and Specifications.

Deviations from the Plans and Specifications shall be called to the attention of the City at the time of the first submission of shop drawings and other drawings. The City's approval of any shop drawings shall not release the Contractor from responsibility for errors, corrections of details, or conformance with the Contract. Shop drawings shall be submitted according to the following schedule: (a) Seven (7) copies shall be submitted to the City at least thirty (30) days before the materials indicated thereon are to be needed or earlier if required to prevent delay of work or to comply with subparagraph (b).

(d) Three (3) copies of Approved Shop Drawings shall be returned to the Contractor by the City. 4.8 QUALITY OF EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS In order to establish standards of quality, the Specifications may refer to certain products by name and catalog number. This procedure is not to be construed as eliminating from competition other products of equal or better quality by other manufacturers where fully suitable in design. The Contractor shall furnish to the City a complete list of his proposed desired substitutions prior to the signing of the Contract, together with such engineering and catalog data as the City may require. Further substitutions may be submitted during the course of work in accordance with Paragraph 4.10 SUBSTITUTION OF EQUIPMENT AND /OR MATERIAL below. The Contractor shall abide by the City's judgment when proposed substitution of materials or items or equipment are judged to be unacceptable and shall furnish the specified material or item of equipment in such case. All proposals for substitutions shall be submitted to the City in writing by the Contractor and not by individual trades or material suppliers. The City will advise of approval or disapproval of proposed substitutions in writing within a reasonable time. No substitute materials shall be used unless approved by City in writing. 4.9 EQUIPMENT APPROVAL DATA The Contractor shall furnish one (1) copy of complete catalog data for every manufactured item of equipment and all components to be used in the Work, including specific performance data, material description, rating, capacity, material gauge or thickness, brand name, catalog number and general type. 9 This submission shall be compiled by the Contractor and submitted to the City for review and written approval before any of the equipment is ordered. Each data sheet or catalog in the submission shall be indexed according to specification section and paragraph for easy reference. After written approval is received by the Contractor, submission shall become a part of the Contract and may not be deviated from except upon written approval of the City. Catalog data for equipment approved by the City does not in any case supersede the Contract Documents. The acceptance by the City shall not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for deviations from Plans or Specifications, unless he has called the City's attention, in writing, to such deviations at the time of submission, nor shall it relieve him from responsibility for errors of any sort in the items submitted. The Contractor shall check the work described by the catalog data with the Contract Documents for deviations and errors. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to insure that items to be furnished fit the space available. He shall make necessary field measurements to ascertain space requirements, including those for connections, and shall order such sizes and shapes of equipment that the field installation shall suit the true intent and meaning of the Plans and Specifications. Where equipment requiring different arrangement of connections from those shown is approved, it shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to install the equipment to operate properly, and in harmony with the intent of the Plans and Specifications, and to make all changes in the Work required by the different arrangement of connections at his own expense. 4.10 SUBSTITUTION OF EQUIPMENT AND /OR MATERIAL After the execution of the Contract Agreement, the substitution of equipment and /or material for that specified will be considered if: (a) The equipment and/or materials proposed for substitution is determined by the City to be equal or superior to that specified in the Contract; (b) Unless determined to be of superior quality, the equipment and /or material proposed for substitution is less expensive than that specified and that such savings to the City, as proposed by the Contractor, are submitted with the request for substitution. If the substitution is approved, the Contract price shall be reduced accordingly; and (c) The equipment and /or material proposed for substitution is readily available and its delivery and use, if approved as a substitution, will not delay the scheduled start and completion of the specified work for which it is intended or the scheduled completion of the entire work to be completed under the contract. 10 No request will be considered unless submitted in writing to the City and approval by the City must also be in writing. To receive consideration, requests for substitutions must be accompanied by documentary proof of the actual difference in cost to the Contractor in the form of quotations to the contractor covering the original equipment and /or material, and also equipment and/or material proposed for substitution or other proof satisfactory to the City. It is the intention that the City shall receive the full benefit of the saving in cost involved in any substitution unless the item is substituted for one designated in the Specifications by specific manufacturer's name and type, in which case one -third of the savings shall accrue to the benefit of the Contractor. In all cases, the burden of proving adequate proof that the equipment and/or material offered for substitution is equal or superior in construction and /or efficiency to that named in the Contract shall rest on the Contractor and the proof will be submitted to the City. Request for substitution of equipment and/or material which the Contractor cannot prove to the satisfaction of the City, at its sole discretion and judgment, to be equal or superior in construction and /or efficiency to that named in the Contract will not be approved. 5.0 MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP 5.1 MATERIALS FURNISHED BY THE CONTRACTOR All materials and equipment used in the Work shall meet the requirements of the respective Specifications, and shall not be used until it has been approved in writing by the City. Wherever the specifications call for an item of material or equipment by a manufacturer's name and type, and additional features of the item are specifically required by the specifications, the additional features specified shall be provided whether or not they are normally included in the standard manufacturer's item listed. Wherever the specifications call for an item of material or equipment by a manufacturer's name and type, and the specified item becomes obsolete and is no longer available, the Contractor shall provide a substitute item of equal quality and performance which is acceptable to the Engineer and City and is currently available, at no increase in Contract price. 5.2 STORAGE OF MATERIALS Materials and equipment shall be stored so as to incur the preservation of their quality and fitness for the Work. When considered necessary, they shall be placed on wooden platforms or other hard clean surfaces, and not on the ground, and /or they shall be placed under cover. Stored materials and equipment shall be located so as to facilitate prompt inspection. Private property zoned for, or adjacent to land zoned for, residential uses shall not be utilized for storage purposes. 5.3 REJECTED WORK AND MATERIAL 11 Any materials, equipment or work which do not satisfactorily meet the Specifications may be condemned by the Engineer or City by giving a written notice to the Contractor. All condemned materials, equipment or work shall be promptly taken out and replaced. All materials and equipment which do not conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents, are not equal to samples approved by the Engineer and City, or are in any way unsatisfactory or unsuited to the purpose for which they are intended, shall be rejected. Any defective work whether the result of poor workmanship, use of defective materials, damaged through carelessness or from other cause shall be removed within ten (10) days after written notice is given by the City, and the work shall be re- executed by the Contractor. The fact that the Engineer or the City may have previously overlooked such defective work shall not constitute an acceptance of any part of it. Should the Contractor fail to remove rejected work or materials within ten (10) days after written notice to do so, the City may remove them and may store the materials and equipment. Satisfaction of warranty work after final payment shall be in accordance with Paragraph 10.15. 5.4 MANUFACTURER'S DIRECTION Manufactured articles, materials and equipment shall be applied, installed, connected, erected, used, cleaned, and conditioned as directed by the manufacturer unless herein specified to the contrary. 5.5 CONDUCT BY EMPLOYEES AND SUBCONTRACTORS The Contractor shall at all times be responsible for the conduct and discipline of his employees and /or any subcontractor or persons employed by subcontractors. 5.6 CUTTING AND PATCHING The Contractor shall do all necessary cutting and patching of the Work that may be required to properly receive the work of the various trades or as required by the Plans and Specifications to complete the Work.

Cutting of existing structures that could endanger the Work, adjacent property, workmen or the public shall not be done unless approved by the Engineer and under his surveillance. 5.7 CLEANING UP The Contractor shall at all times keep the premises free from accumulation of waste materials or rubbish caused by his employees or work. At the completion of the Work, he shall remove all his rubbish, tools, scaffolding and surplus materials and shall leave his work "broom clean" or its equivalent, unless more exactly specified, and shall insure that all debris and other unsightly objects are removed and disposed of in a satisfactory manner. At no additional expense to the City, the Contractor will restore to their original conditions or better, as nearly as practicable, those portions of the site not designated for alteration and all such property, structure, utilities, 12 landscaping, etc., disturbed or damaged during the prosecution of the Work. Final payment will be withheld until such clean up and repairs are completed The Work will be considered complete only after all debris and unused material due to or connected with the Work have been removed and the surrounding area left in a condition satisfactory to the City. In the event the City finds that the Contractor has not complied in keeping the job site clean, the City may, after twenty -four (24) hours written notice to the Contractor to correct the situation, elect to have the job site cleaned by an independent labor force. The cost of cleaning by said independent labor force shall be deducted from moneys due the Contractor. 5.8 CITY'S OWNERSHIP OF MATERIALS Any and all materials, whether structural or natural, found within the limits of the project remain the property of the City unless City ownership is specifically conveyed to the Contractor. All material, equipment and work become the sole property of the City as installed. These provisions shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor from the sole responsibility for all materials and work for which payments have been made, for the restoration of damaged work, or as a waiver of right of the City to require the fulfillment of all the terms of the Contract. 5.9 GUARANTEE The Contractor shall warrant all equipment furnished and work performed by him for a period of one (1) year from the date of final written acceptance of the Work by City. Satisfaction of warranty work after final payment shall be as per Paragraph 10.15.
