Unless specifically stated in the Proposal, there is no required date or period of time <br />required for substantial completion. <br />Section 2.02 Subcontractors and Subconsultants. Upon request of the Owner, prior to commencement of the Work, Contractor <br />shall submit to Owner for Owner’s approval a list of subcontractors, and subconsultants, if any, listed by proposed scopes of work, with <br />addresses and telephone numbers, proposed to be used to perform the Contractor’s scope of Work. Owner shall have the right to object <br />to any of the subcontractors and subconsultants, but Owner’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event Owner objects to <br />one or more subcontractors or subconsultants, Contractor shall not use such subcontractor or subconsultant on the Project, and shall <br />propose another subcontractor or subconsultant for Owner’s consideration. All collective bargaining labor agreements that may apply <br />for the performance of any part of the Work at the Site shall be observed. As applicable, union labor, or prevailing wages as required, <br />shall be used to perform the Work if conditions or agreements at the Site require such labor. <br />Section 2.03 Coordination. The schedule shall be periodically revised as required by the conditions of the Work, progress thereon, <br />and the Project. The Work shall be performed so as to not unduly interfere with or disrupt the business operations of Owner. It is hereby <br />recognized that, to accommodate ongoing business operations located on the Site, the Work may need to be performed during non- <br />regular business hours, including working evenings and/or weekends. The Work shall be confined to those areas identified by Owner. <br />All ingress and egress to the Site shall be confined to those areas approved in advance by Owner. The Agreement Price does not <br />include any work outside of normal working hours unless specifically stated in the Proposal. <br />Section 2.04 Temporary Facilities. Unless otherwise specified in the Work Order, Contractor shall provide all temporary facilities for its <br />use and shall arrange for temporary connections and lines for connection to and use of water, electricity, telephone, gas, compressed <br />air, steam, heat, and other similar services. Contractor shall remove all temporary construction, signs and facilities upon completion of <br />the Work and restore the Site to the condition in which it was originally found. <br />Section 2.05 Substantial Completion. When Contractor considers that the Work is substantially complete, Contractor will submit to <br />Owner a proposed “punchlist” listing items of the Work to be completed prior to Final Completion. Contractor and Owner shall inspect <br />the Work (or portion thereof) to determine if the same is substantially complete. Owner and Contractor shall add to the punchlist any item <br />of work that has not been completed. When the Work is substantially complete, Contractor shall notify the Owner in writing, setting forth the <br />date of Substantial Completion and stating the date by which Contractor shall complete the items of work included on the punchlist. <br />Section 2.06 Final Completion. When Contractor considers the Work (including the items contained on the punchlist) fully complete <br />in accordance with the Contract Documents, Contractor shall complete the Certificate of Final Completion (in the form of a Warranty <br />Letter) and submit the same to Owner for review, which shall constitute Contractor’s certification to Owner in writing that Final Completion <br />has been achieved by virtue of the following: <br />(a) Contractor has inspected all of the Work and has determined that the Work has been completed in accordance with this <br />Agreement and the Work Order; <br />(b) Contractor has cleared, tested and started-up the equipment at the Site and said equipment is operational; and <br />(c) Contractor has obtained all Permit sign-offs or other approvals of any governmental agency with authority over the Work that <br />pertain to the Work and that are customarily the responsibility of an installation contractor. <br />Section 2.07 Correction of Work. If Owner at any time determines that any portion of the Work is incomplete or defective, Owner will promptly <br />notify Contractor of such incomplete or defective Work, itemizing and describing such remaining items with reasonable particularity. Contractor <br />shall then arrange for and perform the immediate correction of all items noted by Owner. <br />Article 3 - Contract Documents and Site Conditions <br />Section 3.01 Examination of Contract Documents and Site.

If any clarification of this Agreement or of the other Contract Documents is needed and requested, Owner will provide the clarification <br />by issuing a written order. <br />Section 3.02 Intent; Order of Precedence.
