Advertisement, Bidding Documents, Contract Forms, Conditions of the Contract,
Specifications, Drawings, and all addenda issued prior to and all Modifications
issued after execution of the Contract. A Modification is (1) a written

written interpretation issued by the Director pursuant to Subparagraph 2.2.8, or
(4) a written order for a minor change in the work issued by the Director pursuant
to Paragraph 12.4.
1.1.2 The Contract
1.1.1.1 The Contract Documents form the Contract for Construction. This Contract
represents the entire and integrated agreement between the parties hereto and
supersedes all prior negotiations, representations, or agreements, either written or
oral. The Contract may be amended or modified only by a Modification as
defined in Subparagraph 1.1.1. The Contract Documents shall not be construed
to create any contractual relationship of any kind between the Director and the
Contractor, but the Director shall be entitled to performance of obligations
intended for his benefit, and to enforcement thereof. Nothing contained in the
Contract Documents shall create any contractual relationship between the Owner
or the Director and any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor.

Documents and includes all labor necessary to produce such construction, and all

Contractor. If either the Owner or the Contractor or both do not sign the Conditions of
the Contract, Drawings, Specifications, or any of the other Contract Documents, the
Director shall identify such Documents.

familiarized himself with the local conditions under which the work is to be performed,
and correlated his observations with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
1.1.3 The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items necessary for the proper
execution and completion of the Work. The Contract Documents are complementary,
and what is required by any one shall be as binding as if required by all. Work not
covered in the Contract Documents will not be required unless it is consistent therewith
and is reasonably inferable therefrom as being necessary to produce the intended results.
Words and abbreviations which have well-known technical or trade meanings are used in
the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings. In case of
inconsistent requirements in the Contract Documents the requirements for the greater
quantity or higher quality shall take precedence and shall be the Contract requirement.
1.1.4 The organization of the specifications into divisions, sections and articles, and the
arrangement of Drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the work among
Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any trade.
1.1.5 Where used in conjunction with the Director`s or Engineer`s response to submittals,
requests, applications, inquiries, reports and claims by the Contractor, the meaning of the
term "approved" will be held to the limitations of the Director`s responsibilities and
duties as specified in the General and Supplementary Conditions. In no case will
"approval" by the Director be interpreted as an assurance to the Contractor that the
requirements of the Contract Documents have been fulfilled.
1.1.6 Where reference is made to standards or trade association publications, it shall mean to
refer to the latest edition and revision thereof, if any, in effect on the date of the contract
Documents.

similar words shall mean the "direction (requirement, permission, order,
designation, or prescription) of the Director."
1.1.1.4 "Approved," "acceptable," "satisfactory," and similar words shall mean
"approved by (acceptable or satisfactory to) the Director".
1.1.1.5 "Necessary," "responsible," "proper," "correct," and similar words shall mean
"necessary (reasonable, proper, or correct) in the judgment of the Director."
1.1.1.6 Words in the singular shall also mean and include the plural, wherever the
context so indicates, and words in the plural shall mean the singular, wherever
the context so indicates.
1.3 Ownership and Use of Documents
1.1.1 All Drawings, Specifications and copies thereof furnished by the Director are and shall
remain his property. They are to be used only with respect to his project and are not to be
used any other project. With the exception of one contract set for each party to the
Contract, such documents are to be returned or suitably accounted for to the Director on
request at the completion of the Work. Submission or distribution to meet official
regulatory requirements or for other purposes in connection with the Project is not to be
construed as publication in derogation of the Director's common law copyright or other
reserved rights.

Documents, unless otherwise modified by written instrument in accordance with
Subparagraph 2.2.18.
1.1.3 The Director will visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction to
familiarize himself generally with the progress and quality of the Work and to determine

However, the Director will not be required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site
inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work. On the basis of his on-site
observations as a Director, he will keep the Owner informed of the progress of the work,

Contractor. The Director will not be responsible for and will not have control or charge of

relating to the execution or progress of the Work or the interpretation of the Contract
Documents shall be referred initially to the Director for decision which will render in
writing within thirty (30) days.
1.1.9 All interpretations and decisions of the Director shall be consistent with the intent of and
reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents and will be in writing or in the form
of drawings. In his capacity as interpreter and judge, he will endeavor to secure faithful
performance by both the Owner and the Contractor, will not show partiality to either, and
will not be liable for the result of any interpretation or decision rendered in good faith in
such capacity.
1.1.10 The Director's decisions in matters relating to artistic effect will be final if consistent with
the intent of the Contract Documents.
1.1.11 The Director's decision shall be subject to the Contractor's right of appeal to the
Administrator, as set forth in Subparagraph 7.9.

as may be specifically agreed in writing.
7.7 Tests
1.1.1 If the Contract Documents, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public
authority having jurisdiction require any portion of the Work to be inspected, tested, or

payment of any moneys to any Subcontractor except as may otherwise be required by
law.
1.1.5 No Certificate for a progress payment, nor any progress payment, nor any partial or entire

the Contractor in accordance with Section 39K of Chapter 30 of the General Laws which
provides as follows:
1.1.7 Within 15 days after receipt from the Contractor, at the place designated by the awarding

estimate of the fair value of its claims against the Contractor and of the cost of
completing the incomplete and unsatisfactory items of Work less (2) a retention for direct
payments to Subcontractors based on demands for same in accordance with the
provisions of Section 39 F, or based on the record of payments by the Contractor to the
Subcontractors under this Contract if such record of payment indicates that the Contractor
has not paid Subcontractors as provided in Section 39 F. If the City fails to make
payment as herein provided, there shall be added to each such payment daily interest at
the rate of three percentage points above the rediscount rate than charged by the Federal
Reserve Bank of Boston commencing on the first day after said payment is due and
continuing until the payment is delivered or mailed to the Contractor; provided, that no
interest shall be due, in any event, on the amount due on a periodic estimate for final
payment until fifteen days after receipt of such a periodic estimate form the Contractor, at
the place designated by the City if such a place is so designated. The Contractor agrees
to pay to each Subcontractor a portion of any such interest paid in accordance with the
amount due each Subcontractor.

amount specified in any court proceedings barring such payment and also less
any amount claimed due from the Subcontractor by the Contractor.
1.1.1.2 Not later than the 65th day after each Subcontractor substantially completes his
Work in accordance with the plans and specifications, the entire balance due
under the subcontract less amounts retained by the City as the estimated costs of
completing the incomplete and unsatisfactory items of Work, shall be due the
Subcontractor; and the City shall pay that amount to the Contractor. The
Contractor shall forthwith pay to the Subcontractor the full amount received from
the City less any amount specified in any court proceedings barring such
payment and also less any amount claimed due from the Subcontractor by the
Contractor.
1.1.1.3 Each payment made by the City to the Contractor pursuant to subparagraphs (a)
and (b) of this paragraph for the labor performed and the materials furnished by a
subcontractor shall be made to the Contractor for the account of that
Subcontractor; and the City shall take reasonable steps to compel the Contractor
to make each such payment to each such Subcontractor. If the City has received
a demand for direct payment from a Subcontractor for any amount which has
already been included in a payment to the Contractor or which is to be included
in a payment to the Contractor for payment to the Subcontractor as provided in
subparagraphs (a) and (b), the City shall act upon the demand as provided in this
section.
1.1.1.4 If, within 70 days after the Subcontractor has substantially completed the
Subcontract Work, the Subcontractor has not received from the Contractor the
balance due under the Subcontract including any amount due for extra labor and
materials furnished to the Contractor, less any amount retained by the City as the
estimated costs of completing the incomplete and unsatisfactory items of Work,
the Subcontractor may demand direct payment of that balance from the City.
The demand shall be by a sworn statement delivered to or sent by certified mail
to the City, and a copy be valid even if delivered or mailed prior to the seventieth
day after the Subcontractor has substantially completed the Subcontract Work.
Within ten days after the Subcontractor has delivered or so mailed a copy to the
Contractor, the Contractor may reply to the demand. The reply shall be by a
sworn statement delivered to or sent by certified mail to the City and a copy shall
be delivered to or sent by certified mail to the Subcontractor at the same time.

Subcontract including any amount due for extra labor and materials furnished to
the Contractor and of the amount due for extra labor and materials furnished to
the Contractor and of the amount due for each claim made by the Contractor
against the Subcontractor.

the Contractor, less any amount (i) retained by the City as the estimated cost of
completing the incomplete or unsatisfactory items of Work, (ii) specified in any
court proceedings barring such payment, or (iii) disputed by the Contractor in the
sworn reply; provided, that the City shall not deduct from a direct payment any
amount as provided in part (iii) if the reply is not sworn to, or for which the
sworn reply does not contain the detailed breakdown required by subparagraph

The City shall make further direct payments to the Subcontractor forthwith after
the removal of the basis for deductions from direct payments made as provided in
part (i) and (ii) of this subparagraph.
1.1.1.6 The City shall forthwith deposit the amount deducted from a direct payment as
provided in part (iii) of subparagraph (e) in an interest-bearing joint account in
the names of the Contractor and the Subcontractor in a bank in Massachusetts
selected by the City or agreed upon by the contractor and the Subcontractor and
shall notify the Contractor and the Subcontractor of the date of the deposit and
the bank receiving the deposit. The bank shall pay the amount in the account,
including accrued interest, as provided in an agreement between the Contractor
and the Subcontractor or as determined by decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
1.1.1.7 All direct payments and all deductions from demands for direct payments
deposited in an interest-bearing account or accounts in a bank pursuant to
subparagraph (f) shall be made out of amounts payable to the general Contractor
at the time of receipt of a demand for direct payment from a Subcontractor and
out of amounts which later become payable to the Contractor and in order of
receipt of such demands from Subcontractors. All direct payments shall
discharge the obligation of the City to the Contractor to the extent of such
payment.
1.1.1.8 The City shall deduct from payments to the Contractor amounts which, together
with the deposits in interest-bearing accounts pursuant to subparagraph (f), are
sufficient to satisfy all unpaid balances of demands for direct payment received
from Subcontractors. All such amounts shall be earmarked for such direct
payments, and the Subcontractors shall have a right to such deductions prior to
any claims against such amounts by creditors of the Contractor.
1.1.1.9 If the Subcontractor does not receive payment as provided in subparagraph (a) or
if the Contractor does not submit a periodic estimate for the value of the labor
and materials performed or furnished by the Subcontractor and the Subcontractor
does not receive payment for same when due less the deductions provided for in
subparagraph (a), the Subcontractor may demand direct payment by following
the procedure in subparagraph (d) and the Contractor may file a sworn reply as
provided in that same subparagraph. A demand made after the first day of the
month following that for which the Subcontractor performed or furnished the
labor and materials for which the Subcontractor seeks payment shall be valid
even if delivered or mailed prior to the time payment was due on a periodic
estimate from the Contractor. Thereafter the City shall proceed as provided in
subparagraph (e), (f), (g), and (h).
1.1.9 Pursuant to section 39F of Chapter 30 of the Laws, the term "Subcontractor" as used in
preceding Subparagraph 9.5.7 shall mean a person who files a sub-bid and receives a
Subcontract as a result of that filed sub-bid or who is approved by the City in writing as a
person performing labor or both performing labor and furnishing materials pursuant to a
contract with the Contractor.
9.6 Payments Withheld
1.1.1 The Director may decline to certify payment and may withhold his Certificate in whole or
in part, to the extent necessary reasonably to protect the Owner, if in his opinion he is
unable to make representations to the Owner as provided in Subparagraph 9.4.2. If the
Director is unable to make representations to the Owner as provided in Subparagraph
9.4.2 and to certify payment in the amount of the Application, he will notify the
Contractor as provided in Subparagraph 9.4.1. If the Contractor and the Director cannot
agree on a revised amount, the Director will promptly issue a Certificate for Payment for
the amount for which he is able to make such representations to the Owner. Subject to
the provisions of Subparagraph 9.6.3 herein below, the Director may also decline to
certify payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or subsequent
observations, he may nullify the whole or any part of any Certificate for Payment
previously issued to such extent as may be necessary in his opinion to protect the Owner
from loss because of:
1.1.1.1 defective Work not remedied
1.1.1.2 third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such
claims,
1.1.1.3 failure of the contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for
labor, materials or equipment, reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be
completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum, damage to the Owner or
another contractor, reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed
within the Contract Time, or persistent failure to carry out the Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents.
1.1.2 When the above grounds in Subparagraph 9.6.1 are removed, payment shall be made for
amounts withheld because of them.
1.1.3 The City may make changes in any periodic estimate submitted by the Contractor in
accordance with Section 39K of Chapter 30 of the General Laws, and the payment due on
said periodic estimate shall be computed in accordance with the changes so made. The
provisions of said Section 39K shall govern payments pursuant to periodic estimates on
which the City has made changes. The Director shall mark the date of receipt on the
estimate.
9.7 Failure of Payment
1.1.1 If the Owner fails to make payments as set forth in Section 39K of Chapter 30, the
Contractor shall be compensated as set forth in said Section.
9.8 Substantial Completion
1.1.1 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a designated portion thereof which is
acceptable to the Owner, is substantially complete as defined in Subparagraph 8.1.3, the
Contractor shall prepare for submission to the Director a list of items to be completed or
corrected. The failure to include any items on such list does not alter the responsibility of
the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. When
the Director on the basis of an inspection determines that the Work or designated portion
therefor is substantially complete, he will then prepare a Certificate of Substantial
Completion which shall establish the Date of Substantial Completion, shall state the
responsibilities of the Owner and the Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities,
damage to the Work, and insurance, and shall fix the time within which the Contractor
shall complete the items listed therein. Warranties required by the Contract Documents
shall commence on the Date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion
thereof unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Completion. The
Certificate of Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the Owner and the Contractor
for their written acceptance of the responsibilities assigned to them in such Certificate.
1.1.2 Upon substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof and upon
application by the Contractor and certification by the Director, the Owner shall make
payment, reflecting adjustment in retainage, if any, for such Work or portion thereof, as
provided in the Contract Documents.
9.9 Final Completion and Final Payment
1.1.1 Upon receipt of written notice that the work is ready for final inspection and acceptance
and upon receipt of a final Application for Payment, the Director will promptly make
such inspection and, when he finds the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents
and the Contract fully performed, he will promptly issue a final Certificate for Payment
stating that to the best of his knowledge, information and belief, and on the basis of his
observations and inspections, the Work has been completed in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the Contract Documents and that the entire balance found to be due the
Contractor, and noted in said final Certificate, is due and payable. The Director's final
Certificate for Payment will constitute a further representation that the conditions
precedent to the Contractor's being entitled to final payment as set forth in Subparagraph
9.9.2 have been fulfilled. Final payment shall be made in accordance with section 39K of
Chapter 30, quoted in Subparagraph 9.5.6 hereinabove, which Section takes precedence
over any contradictory provisions of Paragraph 9.9.
1.1.2 Neither the final payment nor the remaining retained percentage shall become due until
the Contractor submits to the Director (1) an affidavit that all payrolls, bills for materials
and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the Owner or
his property might in any way be responsible, have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2)
consent of surety, if any, to final payment and (3), if required by the Owner, other data
establishing payment or satisfaction of all such obligations, such as receipts, releases and
waivers of liens arising out of the Contract, to the extent and in such form as may be
designated by the Owner. If any Subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver
required by the Owner, the Contractor may furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner to
indemnify him against any such lien. If any such lien remains unsatisfied after all
payments are made, the Contractor shall refund to the Owner all moneys that the latter
may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees. The affidavit and consent of surety shall be submitted on AIA forms
G706 "Contractor's Affidavit of Payment of Debts and Claims" and G707 "Consent of
Surety Company to Final Payment".
1.1.3 If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion thereof is materially
delayed through no fault of the Contractor or by the issuance of Change Orders affecting
final completion, and the Director so confirms, the Owner shall, upon application by the
Contractor and certification by the Director, and without terminating the Contract, make
payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. If
the remaining balance for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than the retainage
stipulated in the Contract Documents, and if bonds have been furnished as provided in
Paragraph 7.5, the written consent of the surety to the payment of the balance due for that
portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor to
the Director prior to certification of such payment. Such payment shall be made under
the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not constitute a
waiver of claims.
1.1.4 The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the Owner except
those arising from:
1.1.1.1 unsettled liens,
1.1.1.2 faulty or defective Work appearing after Substantial Completion,
1.1.1.3 failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents,
or terms of any special warranties required by the Contract Documents.
1.1.5 The acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the Contractor
except those previously made in writing and identified by the Contractor as unsettled at
the time of the final Application for Payment.

unless one the of parties in interest shall object in writing within five days after the
occurrence of loss to the Owner's exercise of this power, and if such objection be made,

time mutually agreed to by the Owner and Contractor and to which the insurance

ARTICLE 12 - CHANGES IN THE WORK
12.1 Change Orders
1.1.1 A Change Order is a written order to the Contractor signed by the Owner and the
Director, issued after execution of the Contract, authorizing a change in the Work or an
adjustment in the Contract Sum or the Contract Time. The Contract Sum and the
Contract Time may be changed only by Change Order. A Change Order signed by the
Contractor indicates his agreement therewith, including the adjustment in the Contract
Sum or the Contract Time. All Change Orders must be countersigned by the
Administrator in accordance with Paragraph 3.1 as supplemented.
1.1.2 The Owner, without invalidating the Contract, may order changes in the Work within the
general scope of the Contract consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, the
Contract Sum and the Contract Time being adjusted accordingly. All such changes in the
Work shall be authorized by Change Order, and shall be performed under the applicable
conditions of the Contract Documents.
1.1.3 The cost or credit to the Owner resulting from a change in the Work shall be determined
in one or more of the following ways:
1.1.1.1 by mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by
sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation;
1.1.1.2 by unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon;
1.1.1.3 by cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually
acceptable fixed or percentage fee, or
1.1.1.4 by the method provided in Subparagraph 12.1.4.
1.1.4 If none of the methods set forth in Clauses 12.1.3.1, 12.1.3.2 or 12.1.3.3 is agreed upon,
the Contractor, provided he receives a written order signed by the Owner, shall promptly
proceed with the Work involved. The cost of such Work shall then be determined by the
Director on the basis of the reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the
Work attributable to the change, including, in the case of an increase in the Contract Sum,
a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit. In such case, and also under Clauses
12.1.3.3 and 12.1.3.4 above, the Contractor shall keep and present, in such form as the
Director may prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data
for inclusion in a Change Order.
1.1.1.1 Cost of materials entering permanently in the Work, including cost of delivery:
1.1.1.2 Cost of labor at the rates found elsewhere in this document including foremen:
1.1.1.3 Rental value at fair market rental rates of equipment and machinery employed
directly on the Work (hand tools and minor equipment excluded):
1.1.1.4 A percentage amount of 25% of item 2 above to cover Workman's
Compensation, F.I.C.A., and unemployment contributions.
1.1.5 For Work performed by the Contractor with his own forces there shall be added a
percentage fee for the Contractor equal to 15% of the total of Items 1,2,3 hereinabove.
1.1.6 For Work performed by a filed or non-filed Subcontractor there shall be added a
percentage fee for the Subcontractor equal to 15% of the total of Items 1,2,3 hereinabove.
To this total amount of the Subcontractor's price there may be added an additional
percentage fee of 10% for the Contractor.
1.1.7 The percentage fee shall be compensation to cover the cost of supervision, layout,
overhead, bonds, profit, and all other expenses which are not included in the cost of the
Work as defined above.
1.1.8 Pending final determination of cost to the Owner, payments on account shall be made on
the Director's Certificate for Payment. The amount of credit to be allowed by the
Contractor to the Owner for any deletion or change which results in a net decrease in the
Contract Sum will be the amount of the actual net cost as confirmed by the Director.
When both additions and credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in
any one change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of the
net increase, if any, with respect to that change.
1.1.9 If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and if
the quantities originally contemplated are so changed in a proposed Change Order that
application of the agreed unit prices to the quantities of Work proposed will cause
substantial inequity to the Owner or the Contractor, the applicable unit prices shall be
equitably adjusted.
12.2 Concealed Conditions
1.1.1 Pursuant to Section 39N of Chapter 30 of the Laws, the following shall apply to differing
concealed conditions:
1.1.2 If, during the progress of the Work, the Contractor or the City discovers that the actual
subsurface or latent physical conditions encountered at the site differ substantially or
materially from those shown on the plans or indicated in the Contract Documents either
the Contractor or the City may request an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price
applying to Work affected by the differing site conditions. A request for such an
adjustment shall be in writing and shall be delivered by the party making such claim to
the other party as soon as possible after such conditions are discovered. Upon receipt of
such a claim from the Contractor, or upon its own initiative, the City shall make an
investigation of such physical conditions, and, if they differ substantially or materially
from those indicated in the Contract Documents or from those ordinarily encountered and
generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the Contract
Documents and are of such a nature as to cause an increase or decrease in the cost of the
Work, the contracting Authority shall make an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price
and the Contract shall be modified in writing accordingly.
12.3 Claims for Additional Cost
1.1.1 If the Contractor wishes to make a claim for an increase in the Contract Sum, he shall
give the Director written notice thereof within twenty days after the occurrence of the
event giving rise to such claim. This notice shall be given by the Contractor before
proceeding to execute the Work, except in an emergency endangering life or property in
which case the Contractor shall proceed in accordance with Paragraph 10.3. No such
claim shall be valid unless so made. If the Owner and the Contractor cannot agree on the
amount of the adjustment in the Contract Sum, it shall be determined by the Director.
Any change in the Contract Sum resulting from such claim shall be authorized by Change
Order.
1.1.2 If the Contractor claims that additional cost is involved because of, but not limited to, (1)
any written interpretation pursuant to Subparagraph 2.2.8, (2) any order by the Owner to
stop the Work pursuant to Paragraph 3.3 where the Contractor was not at fault, (3) any
written order for a minor change in the Work issued pursuant to Paragraph 12.4, or (4)
failure of payment by the Owner pursuant to Paragraph 9.7, the Contractor shall make
such claims as provided in Subparagraph 12.3.1, except as set forth in Subparagraph 3.3.2
of the Supplementary Conditions.
12.4 Minor Changes in the Work
1.1.1 The Director will have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving an
adjustment in the Contract Sum or an extension of the Contract Time and not consistent
with the intent of the Contract Documents. Such changes shall be effected by written
order, and shall be binding on the Owner and the Contractor. The Contractor shall carry
out such written orders promptly.
ARTICLE 13 - UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK
13.1 Uncovering of Work
1.1.1 If any portion of the Work should be covered contrary to the request of the Director or to
requirements specifically expressed in the Contract Documents, it must, if required in
writing by the Director, be uncovered for his observation and shall be replaced at the
Contractor's expense.
1.1.2 If any other portion of the Work has been covered which the Director has not specifically
requested to observe prior to being covered, the Director may request to see such Work
and it shall be uncovered by the Contractor. If such Work be found in accordance with
the Contract Documents, the cost of uncovering and replacement shall, by appropriate
Change Order, be charged to the Owner. If such Work be found not in accordance with
the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall pay such costs unless it be found that this
condition was caused by the Owner or a separate contractor as provided in Article 6, in
which event the Owner shall be responsible for the payment of such costs.
13.2 Correction of Work
1.1.1 The Contractor shall promptly correct all Work rejected by the Director as defective or as
failing to conform to the Contract Documents whether observed before or after
Substantial Completion and whether or not fabricated, installed or completed. The
Contractor shall bear all costs of correcting such rejected Work, including compensation
for the Director's additional services made necessary thereby.
1.1.2 If, within one year after the Date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated
portion thereof or within one year after acceptance by the Owner of designated
equipment or within such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the
terms of any applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents, any of the
Work is found to be defective or not in accordance with the Contract Documents, the
Contractor shall correct it promptly after receipt of a written notice from the Owner to do
so unless the Owner has previously given the Contractor a written acceptance of such
condition. This obligation shall survive termination of the Contract. The Owner shall
give such notice promptly after discovery of the condition.
1.1.3 The Contractor shall remove from the site all portions of the Work which are defective or
non-conforming and which have not been corrected under Subparagraphs 4.5.1, 13.2.1
and 13.2.2, unless removal is waived by the Owner.
1.1.4 If the Contractor fails to correct defective or nonconforming Work as provided in
Subparagraphs 4.5.1, 13.2.1 and 13.2.2, the Owner may correct it in accordance with
Paragraph 3.4.
1.1.5 If the Contractor does not proceed with the correction of such defective or non-
conforming Work within a reasonable time fixed by written notice from the Director, the
Owner may remove it and may store the materials or equipment at the expense of the
Contractor. If the Contractor does not pay the cost of such removal and storage within
ten days thereafter, the Owner may upon ten additional days' written notice sell such
Work at auction or at private sale and shall account for the net proceeds thereof, after
deducting all the costs that should have been borne by the Contractor, including
compensation for the Director's additional services made necessary thereby. If such
proceeds of sale do not cover all costs which the Contractor should have borne, the
difference shall be charged to the Contractor and an appropriate Change Order shall be
issued. If the payments then or thereafter due the Contractor are not sufficient to cover
such amount, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.
1.1.6 The Contractor shall bear the cost of making good all work of the Owner or separate
contractors destroyed or damaged by such correction or removal.
1.1.7 Nothing contained in this Paragraph 13.2 shall be construed to establish a period of
limitation with respect to any other obligation which the Contractor might have under the
Contract Documents, including Paragraph 4.5 hereof. The establishment of the time
period of one year after the Date of Substantial Completion or such longer period of time
as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any warranty required by the Contract
Documents relates only to the specific obligation of the Contractor to correct the Work,
and has no relationship to the time within which his 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 his
obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.
13.3 Acceptance of Defective or Non-Conforming Work
1.1.1 If the Owner prefers to accept defective or nonconforming Work, he may do so instead of
requiring its removal and correction, in which case a Change Order will be issued to
reflect a reduction in the Contract Sum where appropriate and equitable. Such
adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has been made.
13.4 Special Guarantees and Warranties
1.1.1 All guarantees and warranties required in the various Sections of the Specifications which
originate with a Subcontractor or manufacturer must be delivered to the Director before
final payment to the Contractor may be made for the amount of that subtrade or for the
phase of Work to which the guarantee or warranty relates.
1.1.2 The failure to deliver a required guarantee or warranty shall be held to constitute a failure
of the Subcontractor to fully complete his Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
1.1.3 The Contractor's obligation to correct Work as set forth in Paragraph 13.2 is in addition
to, and not in substitution of, such guarantees or warranties as may be required in the
various Sections of the Specifications.
ARTICLE 14 - TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT
14.1 Termination by the Contractor
1.1.1 If the Work is stopped for a period of 30 days under any order of any court or other
public Authority having jurisdiction or as a result of an act of government, such as a
declaration of a national emergency make materials unavailable, through no act or fault
of the Contractor or a Subcontractor, or their agents or employees, or any other person
performing any of the Work under a contract with the Contractor, then the Contractor
may, upon seven additional days' written notice to the Owner and Director, terminate the
Contract and recover from the Owner payment for all Work executed and for any proven
loss sustained upon any materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and
machinery, including reasonable profit and damages.
14.2 Termination by the Owner
1.1.1 If the Contractor is adjudged a bankrupt, or if he makes a general assignment for the
benefit of his creditors, or if a receiver is appointed on account of his insolvency, or if he
persistently or repeatedly refuses or fails, except in cases for which extension of time is
provided, to supply enough properly skilled workmen or proper materials, or if he fails to
make prompt payment to Subcontractors or for materials or labor, or persistently
disregards laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public authority having
jurisdiction, or otherwise is guilty of a substantial violation of a provision of the Contract
Documents, then the Owner, upon certification by the Director that sufficient cause exists
to justify such action may, without prejudice to any right or remedy and after giving the
Contractor and his surety, if any, seven days' written notice, terminate the employment of
the Contractor and take possession of the site and of all materials, equipment, tools,
construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Contractor and may finish
the Work by whatever method he may deem expedient. In such case the Contractor shall
not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished.
1.1.2 If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum exceeds the costs of finishing the Work,
including compensation for the Director's additional services made necessary thereby,
such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such costs exceed the unpaid balance, the
Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner. The amount to be paid to the
Contractor or to the Owner, as the case may be, shall be certified by the Director, upon
application, in the manner provided in Paragraph 9.4, and this obligation for payment
shall survive the termination of the Contract.

Description of Work:
Job Location:69 Maple Street, Florence, MA 01062
Wage Request Number: 20170524-023Issue Date:05/24/2017
Information about Prevailing Wage Schedules for Awarding Authorities and Contractors
•This wage schedule applies only to the specific project referenced at the top of this page and uniquely identified by the
“Wage Request Number” on all pages of this schedule.
•An Awarding Authority must request an updated wage schedule from the Department of Labor Standards (“DLS”) if it has
not opened bids or selected a contractor within 90 days of the date of issuance of the wage schedule. For CM AT RISK
projects (bid pursuant to G.L. c.149A), the earlier of: (a) the execution date of the GMP Amendment, or (b) the bid for the first
construction scope of work must be within 90-days of the wage schedule issuance date.
•The wage schedule shall be incorporated in any advertisement or call for bids for the project as required by M.G.L. c. 149,
§ 27. The wage schedule shall be made a part of the contract awarded for the project. The wage schedule must be posted in a
conspicuous place at the work site for the life of the project in accordance with M.G.L. c. 149 § 27. The wages listed on the
wage schedule must be paid to employees performing construction work on the project whether they are employed by the prime
contractor, a filed sub-bidder, or any sub-contractor.
•All apprentices working on the project are required to be registered with the Massachusetts Department of Labor
Standards, Division of Apprentice Standards (DLS/DAS). Apprentice must keep his/her apprentice identification card on
his/her person during all work hours on the project. An apprentice registered with DAS may be paid the lower apprentice
wage rate at the applicable step as provided on the prevailing wage schedule. Any apprentice not registered with DLS/DAS
regardless of whether or not they are registered with any other federal, state, local, or private agency must be paid the
journeyworker's rate for the trade.
•The wage rates will remain in effect for the duration of the project, except in the case of multi-year public construction
projects. For construction projects lasting longer than one year, awarding authorities must request an updated wage schedule.
Awarding authorities are required to request these updates no later than two weeks before the anniversary of the date the
contract was executed by the awarding authority and the general contractor. For multi-year CM AT RISK projects, awarding
authority must request an annual update no later than two weeks before the anniversary date, determined as the earlier of: (a)
the execution date of the GMP Amendment, or (b) the execution date of the first amendment to permit procurement of
construction services. Contractors are required to obtain the wage schedules from awarding authorities, and to pay no less than
these rates to covered workers. The annual update requirement is not applicable to 27F “rental of equipment” contracts.
•Every contractor or subcontractor which performs construction work on the project is required to submit weekly payroll
reports and a Statement of Compliance directly to the awarding authority by mail or email and keep them on file for three years.
Each weekly payroll report must contain: the employee’s name, address, occupational classification, hours worked, and wages
paid. Do not submit weekly payroll reports to DLS. A sample of a payroll reporting form may be obtained at
http://www.mass.gov/dols/pw.
•Contractors with questions about the wage rates or classifications included on the wage schedule have an affirmative
obligation to inquire with DLS at (617) 626-6953.
•Employees not receiving the prevailing wage rate set forth on the wage schedule may report the violation to the Fair Labor
Division of the office of the Attorney General at (617) 727-3465.
•Failure of a contractor or subcontractor to pay the prevailing wage rates listed on the wage schedule to all employees who
perform construction work on the project is a violation of the law and subjects the contractor or subcontractor to civil and

the entire perimeter of the Sarnatred to the Sarnafil deck sheet. Check all welds
with a rounded screwdriver. Re-weld any inconsistencies. Important: Check all
existing deck membrane seams that are to be covered by Sarnatred with
rounded screwdriver and reweld any inconsistencies before Sarnatred
installation. Do not run Sarnatred over Sarnabars.
3.14 TEMPORARY CUT-OFF
All flashings shall be installed concurrently with the roof membrane in order to
maintain a watertight condition as the work progresses. All temporary waterstops
shall be constructed to provide a 100 percent watertight seal. The stagger of the
insulation joints shall be made even by installing partial panels of insulation. The
new membrane shall be carried into the waterstop. Waterstop shall be sealed to
the deck or substrate so that water will not be allowed to travel under the new or
existing roofing. The edge of the membrane shall be sealed in a continuous heavy
application of sealant as described in Section 2.10. When work resumes, the
contaminated membrane shall be cut out. All sealant, contaminated membrane,
insulation fillers, etc. shall be removed from the work area and properly disposed of
off-site. None of these materials shall be used in the new work.
If inclement weather occurs while a temporary waterstop is in place, the
Applicator shall provide the labor necessary to monitor the situation to maintain a
watertight condition.
If any water is allowed to enter under the newly-completed roofing, the affected
area shall be removed and replaced at the Applicator's expense.
3.15 COMPLETION
Prior to demobilization from the site, the work shall be reviewed by the Owner's
Representative and the Applicator. All defects noted and non-compliances with
the Specifications or the recommendations of Sika Sarnafil shall be itemized in a
punch list. These items must be corrected immediately by the Applicator to the
satisfaction of the Owner's Representative and Sika Sarnafil prior to
demobilization.
All Warranties referenced in this Specification shall have been submitted and
have been accepted at time of contract award.
