ARTICLE 12 OF AIA B151 <br />.1 review of a Contractor's submittal out of sequence from the submittal schedule agreed to by <br />the Architect; <br />.2 responses to the Contractor's requests for information where such information is available to <br />the Contractor from a careful study and comparison of the Contract Documents, field <br />conditions, other Owner-provided information, Contractor-prepared coordination drawings, <br />or prior Project correspondence or documentation; <br />.3 Change Orders and Construction Change Directives requiring evaluation of proposals, <br />including the preparafion or revision of Instruments of Service; <br />.4 providing consultation concerning replacement of Work resulting from fire or other cause <br />during construction; <br />.5 evaluation of an extensive number of claims submitted by the Owner's consultants, the <br />Contractor or others in connection with the Work; <br />.6 evaluation of substitutions proposed by the Owner's consultants or contractors and making <br />subsequent revisions to Instruments of Service resulting therefrom; <br />.7 preparation of design and documentation for alternate bid or proposal requests proposed by <br />the Owner; or <br />.8 Contract Administration Services provided 60 days after the date of Substantial Completion <br />of the Work. <br />12.5 RESPONSIBILITY FOR CODE COMPLIANCE <br />The Architect shall conform the Drawings and Specifications to applicable federal, state, and <br />local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, or other legal requirements, regulations, <br />and ordinances relating to the construction, use, and occupancy of the Project in existence on the <br />date of this Agreement. However, the Owner recognizes that interpretations by governmental <br />officials are often subject to change even after issuance of a building permit. If after issuance of <br />the building permit, modifications to the Drawings or Specifications are required because of an <br />interpretation by the Code Authority which had not been previously given, or which if given was <br />different than a prior interpretation of the Code Authority, Architect shall make the required <br />modifications, but the cost of such modifications shall be compensated as a Contingent <br />Additional Service. Nothing contained herein shall relieve the Architect of its obligations to <br />modify at its own expense Plans and Specifications where the Architect has negligently failed to <br />prepare them in compliance with the applicable codes and regulations. <br />12.6 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS <br />Add to the beginning of Subparagraph 9.8: <br />"Unless otherwise disclosed and arranged for disposal, the Owner represents to the Architect that <br />no hazardous or toxic substances within the meaning of any applicable statute or regulation are <br />presently stored, or otherwise located on the Project site or adjacent thereto. Further, within the <br />definition of such statutes or regulations, no part of the Project site or adjacent real estate, <br />including the ground water located thereon, is presently contaminated with such substances." <br />12.7 SERVICE TAX <br />If any governmental authority imposes a tax on the professional services set forth in this <br />Agreement and obligates the Architect to play a role in its collection, the Architect may include <br />the amount of the tax in its periodic invoices, and Owner agrees to pay it. <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
