industry meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings.
1.2.4 Where reference is made to standards or trade association publications, it shall be considered to refer to the latest

which apply to this Contract.
8.6 DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS, M.G.L. c.30 §39N
8.6.1 If, during the progress of the Work, the Contractor or the Owner 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 Owner may request an appropriate time extension and an equitable adjustment in the Contract Sum 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.
8.6.2 Upon receipt of such a claim from a Contractor, or upon its own initiative, the Owner shall make an investigation of such physical
conditions, and, if they differ substantially or materially from those shown on the plans or indicated in the Contract Documents or from those ordinarily
encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the plans and Contract Documents and are of such nature as to
cause an increase or decrease in the cost of performance of the work or a change in the construction methods required for the performance of the work
which results in an increase or decrease in the cost of the work, the Owner shall upon submission by the Contractor of a properly submitted Change
Order request, make an equitable adjustment in the Contract Sum and the Contract shall be modified in writing accordingly.
8.6.3 TIMELY DECISION BY OWNER. M.G.L. c.30 §39P
Whenever this Contract requires the Owner or its Architect to make a decision during construction of the Project, on interpretation of the
specifications, approval of equipment, material or any other approval, or progress of the work, that decision shall be made promptly and, in
any event, no later than thirty days after receipt of a written submission for such decision by the Contractor; but if such decision requires
extended investigation and study, the Owner or the Architect shall, within thirty days after the receipt of the submission, give the
Contractor written notice of the reasons why the decision cannot be made within the thirty day period and the date by which the decision
will be made.

8.7.1 If the Contractor has any claim or dispute of any nature arising under this Contract, including a claim based on the Owner's
failure or refusal to approve a change order request of the Contractor, in full or in part, the Contractor shall submit such claim or dispute to
the Architect, in the form of a change order request, for initial review and consideration, subject to further appeal to the Administrator. If
the Contractor is not satisfied with the Architect’s decision or, if the Architect fails to render a decision within thirty days after receiving
written notice of such claim or dispute from the Contractor, the Contractor may file a written request for a decision with the Department
pursuant to Subparagraph 8.7.2.
8.7.2 Appeal of an Architect's decision under Subparagraph 8.7.1 must be made directly to the Administrator by certified mail, copy to
the Architect and Owner, within twenty-one (21) calendar days after the date on which the party making the appeal receives the Architect's
written decision or within twenty-one (21) days after the thirty (30) day non-decision period noted in 8.7.1. Failure to appeal within this
period will result in the Architect's decision becoming final and binding upon the Owner and the Contractor.
8.7.3 Pending resolution of the claim or dispute, the Contractor must proceed with the disputed Work, as directed by the Architect.
The Contractor must give written notice to the Department and the Architect stating that it is proceeding with the disputed work under
protest. Accurate records of the nature and extent of the disputed Work and of the time spent and equipment used on the disputed Work
shall be maintained by the superintendent and verified daily by the Project Representative, or the Owner's designee. Failure of the
Contractor to maintain such records shall cause the Contractor to forfeit its claim to additional compensation for such disputed work.
8.7.4 Meetings or administrative conferences held by the Department to review the basis of the claim or dispute are conducted in
accordance with the procedure described in the Construction Handbook. Such conferences are not subject to the State Administrative
Procedures Act.
8.7.5 At the conclusion of these proceedings, the Department shall issue a written decision which shall be final under the Contract.
The matter may then be appealed to a court of competent jurisdiction.
8.7.6 Requests for administrative conferences by subcontractors must be made by the Contractor; subcontractors cannot make such
requests directly.

9.2.2 The Contractor shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve Completion within the Contract Time.
9.3 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME
9.3.1 The Contractor shall be entitled to an extension of time for completion of the Work because of;

9.3.3 OWNER DELAYS
25-100
DHCD $25K-$100K GENERAL CONDITIONS 00.72.25
07/01/2011 11 of 18
9.3.3.1 The Owner may delay the commencement of the Work, or any part thereof, due to unforeseen circumstances or conditions which have a
bearing on the Work required under this Contract or for any other reason if it is deemed to be in the best interest of the Owner to do so. Except as
expressly provided in the following Subparagraphs 9.3.3.2, 9.3.3.3, and 9.3.3.4, the Contractor shall have no claim for additional compensation on
account of such delay, but shall be entitled to an extension of Contract Time as determined reasonable by the Architect.
9.3.3.2 The Contractor and the Owner agree that the following Subparagraphs provide the Contractor with the right to request additional
compensation for Owner caused delays only in the following two circumstances:
.1 When the Owner provides the Contractor with a written order to suspend or delay the Work, or a portion thereof, for a period of
fifteen days or more.
.2 When the Owner or its Architect fails to make a decision within the thirty day period described in Subparagraph 8.6.3 and such
failure delays the Work, or a portion thereof, for fifteen days or more.
9.3.3.3 The Owner may, for its convenience, order the Contractor in writing to suspend, delay, or interrupt all or any part of the Work for
such period of time as it may determine appropriate, provided however, that if there is a suspension, delay, or interruption for fifteen days or
more, or there is a failure of the Owner to act within the time specified in this Contract, the Owner shall make an adjustment in the Contract
Sum for any increase in the cost of performance of this Contract, but shall not include any profit to the Contractor on account of such increase;
and provided further, that the Owner shall not make any adjustment in the Contract Sum under this provision for any suspension, delay,
interruption, or failure to act to the extent that such is due to any cause for which this Contract provides for an equitable adjustment of the
Contract Sum under any other Contract provisions. M.G.L. c.30 §39O (a).
9.3.3.4 The Contractor must submit the amount of a claim under Subparagraph 9.3.3.3 to the Owner in writing as soon as practicable
after the end of the suspension, delay, interruption, or failure to act and, in any event, not later than the date of final payment under this
Contract and except for costs due to a suspension order, the Owner shall not approve any costs in the claim incurred more than twenty days
before the Contractor notified the Owner in writing of the act or failure to act involved in the claim. M.G.L. c.30 §39O (b).
9.3.3.5 The Owner and the Contractor agree that the preceding Subparagraph 9.3.3.4 places a burden on the Contractor to inform the Owner,
whenever the Contractor considers that an action or inaction of the Owner or its Architect could result or has resulted in a delay in the Project,
thereby providing the Owner with the opportunity to take action to avoid or lessen the time extensions or damages that might be associated
with such action or inaction.
9.3.3.6 The Contractor must file any claim for additional compensation made pursuant to Subparagraph 9.3.3.4 as a Change Order
request. The amount of any such claim shall be calculated only in accordance with the provisions of Subparagraph 8.3.1.3 items a through
i, and shall be subject to the provisions of Subparagraph 8.3.2.
9.4 CONSTRUCTION AND PAYMENT SCHEDULES
9.4.1 Prior to commencement of the Work the Contractor shall submit to the Architect a construction schedule in bar graph form,
satisfactory to the Architect, showing in detail the proposed progress for the construction of the various parts of the Work, the proposed
times for receiving materials required, and the interrelationship between the various construction operations and the percentage of
completion and the dollar value of the completed work on the first day of each month for each section of the specifications and the entire
Work. Submission of said schedule shall be a condition precedent to approval of the Contractor's first application for payment.
9.4.2 At the end of each month, or more often if required, the Contractor shall furnish the Architect an updated schedule showing
actual progress of the various parts of the Work in comparison with the originally proposed progress and payment schedules. If the
Architect raises any objections to progress or payment schedules submitted by the Contractor, the Contractor shall immediately address and
resolve such objections to the reasonable satisfaction of the Architect.
9.4.3 If the Contractor submits a construction schedule that anticipates Substantial Completion before the date established in the Owner's
Notice to Proceed, the Contractor shall have no claim for additional compensation on account of any delays that prevent Substantial Completion
before the date set in said Owner's Notice to Proceed.
9.5 USE AND OCCUPANCY
9.5.1 Prior to the date of Substantial Completion of the entire Project stipulated in the Notice to Proceed, the Owner shall have the right, from time
to time, to occupy and use any portion of the Project as the Work in connection therewith is substantially completed, provided such use and occupancy
does not unduly interfere with the Contractor's operations.
9.5.2 The Architect will, prior to any such use and occupancy, give written notice to the Contractor, indicating the areas intended to be
occupied and used, and the intended commencement date of such use and occupancy. Occupancy and use shall not commence prior to a
time mutually agreed to by the Owner and the Contractor.
9.5.3 Upon receipt of such notice of intent, the Contractor shall promptly secure and submit to the Architect endorsement from the
insurance carrier permitting use and occupancy of the Work, or any designated portion thereof, by the Owner prior to Substantial
Completion of the entire Project. The Contractor shall be permitted to cancel its special perils insurance for that portion of the Project used
and/or occupied by the Owner.
9.5.4 Partial or entire use and occupancy by the Owner shall not constitute an acceptance of Work not completed in accordance with
the Contract Documents nor relieve the Contractor from the obligation of performing any Work required by the Contract but not completed
at the time of use and occupancy. Before such use and occupancy, the Architect will give the Contractor a list of items to be completed
prior to Final Completion occurring in the areas to be occupied.
9.5.5 The Contractor shall be relieved of all maintenance costs of the portion of the Project occupied under the provisions of this Article.
9.5.6 The Contractor shall not be responsible for wear and tear or damage resulting solely from such use and occupancy.
9.5.7 The Contract Sum will be adjusted by mutually acceptable arrangements between the Owner and the Contractor with respect to heat,
electricity, and water furnished by the Contractor to the portion of the Work so occupied.
9.5.8 When any portion of the building is in condition to receive fittings, appliances, furniture, or other property to be furnished and
installed by the Owner under separate contracts, the Contractor shall allow the Owner to bring such items into the building and shall
provide all reasonable facilities and protection therefor.

9.6 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
9.6.1 Substantial Completion is the stage in the progress of the Work when, in the opinion of the Architect, the Work is sufficiently
complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended use.
9.6.2 When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the
Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Architect a comprehensive list of items to be completed or corrected. The Contractor shall proceed promptly to
complete and correct items on the list. Failure to include an item on such list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in
accordance with the Contract Documents.
9.6.3 Upon receipt of the Contractor's list of items to be completed or corrected, the Architect will promptly make a thorough
inspection and prepare a "punch list", setting forth in accurate detail any items on the Contractor's list and additional items that are not
acceptable or are incomplete.
9.6.4 If, after receipt of the Contractor's list, the Architect determines that the Work is not substantially complete, the Architect shall
inform the Contractor of those items that must be completed before the Architect will prepare a punch list. Upon completion of those
items, the Contractor shall again request the Architect to prepare the punch list.
9.6.5 When the punch list has been prepared, the Contractor will arrange a meeting with the Architect to identify and explain all punch list items and
address questions on the work which must be done before final acceptance.
9.6.6 The Architect may revise the punch list, from time to time, to ensure that all items of the Work are properly completed.
9.6.7 The Architect will prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date of Substantial Completion, shall
establish responsibilities of the Owner and Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and
shall fix the time within which the Contractor shall finish all items on the list accompanying the Certificate within the provisions of
Subparagraph 9.7.2.
9.6.8 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 Contractor for their written acceptance of responsibilities assigned to them in such
Certificate and shall be subject to the approval of the Department.
9.7 FINAL COMPLETION
9.7.1 After the Architect has certified that the Work is substantially complete, the Contractor shall immediately proceed to complete all
the remaining items of Work as determined by the Architect, including items authorized by Change Orders, Construction Change
Directives, or items disputed by the Contractor.
9.7.2 The Contractor shall complete all the remaining items of Work described in Subparagraph 9.7.1, as soon as possible, and in any
event within one hundred and twenty days after Substantial Completion, unless the Architect determines that a shorter time period for
completion is appropriate, in which event the Contractor must complete the Contract work within such period. The Architect may extend
such one hundred and twenty day period if the Architect determines that such extension is justified.
9.7.3 If the Contractor fails to complete the remaining items of Work within the time period provided in Subparagraph 9.7.2, the
Owner may arrange for other contractors to complete such items and the direct and indirect costs of such completion shall be charged
against the balance due the Contractor or, if no such balance remains, the Contractor shall pay the Owner the costs of such completion.
9.7.4 As an alternative to the procedure described in Subparagraph 9.7.3, the Owner may invoke the performance bond of the
Contractor and demand that the surety shall complete the remaining items of work in a timely manner.
9.7.5 The Architect will conduct up to three (3) inspections of completed punchlist items. The Contractor shall be responsible for the
costs of additional inspections required to verify successful completion of the punchlist.

of said Section 39K shall govern payments pursuant to Applications for Payment on which the Owner has made changes.
10.5.4 No certificate for payment nor any progress payment shall constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
10.6 STATUTORY PAYMENT PROVISIONS
10.6.1 After the Architect has issued a Certificate for Payment the Owner shall make payment to the Contractor in accordance with
M.G.L. c.30 §39K which provides as follows:
.1 Within 30 days after receipt from the Contractor, at the place designated by the Owner if such a place is so designated, of a periodic estimate
requesting payment of the amount due for the preceding month, the Owner will make a periodic payment to the Contractor for the Work
performed during the preceding month and for the materials not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the site (or at
some location agreed upon in writing) to which the Contractor has title or to which a Subcontractor has title and has authorized the
Contractor to transfer title to the Owner, less (1) a retention based on its estimate of the fair value of its claims against the Contractor and less

substantially completes the work so that the value of the Work remaining to be done is, in the estimate of the Owner, less than one percent
(1%) of the original Contract Sum, or (b) the Contractor substantially completes the Work and the Owner takes possession for occupancy,
whichever occurs first, the Owner shall pay the Contractor the entire balance due on the Contract less, (1) a retention based on its 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 39F, 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

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.
•Awarding authorities 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.
•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. Once a contractor has been selected by the awarding authority, the wage schedule shall be made a part of the contract for that
project. The wage schedule must be posted in a conspicuous place at the work site during 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 regardless of 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 Division of Apprentice Training
(DAT). Apprentices must keep his/her apprentice identification card on his/her person during all work hours on the project. If an
apprentice rate is listed on the prevailing wage schedule for the trade in which an apprentice is registered with the DAT, the
apprentice may be paid the lower apprentice wage rate at the applicable step as provided on the prevailing wage schedule. If an
apprentice rate is not listed on the prevailing wage schedule for the trade in which an apprentice is registered with the
DAT, the apprentice 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. 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 directly to the awarding authority 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 criminal
penalties.
