ARTICLE 1 THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

 

The Contract Documents consist of this Agreement, Conditions of the Contract (General, Supplementary and other Conditions), Drawings, (including design development and construction/bid sets). Specifications, Addenda to Drawings, if any, issued prior to execution of this Agreement, other documents listed in this Agreement and Modifications issued after execution of this Agreement; these form the Contract, and are as fully a part of the Contract as if attached to this Agreement or repeated herein. The Contract represents the entire and integrated agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes prior negotiations, representations or agreements, either written or oral. An enumeration of the Contract Documents, other than Modifications, appears in Article 15. If anything in the other Contract Documents is inconsistent with this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. The parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the effective date of this Agreement, this Agreement will actually be executed some time after such effective date and, therefore, this Agreement incorporates changes in the Design Documents (as defined in the General Conditions) and correspondence between the Owner and Architect reflecting changes to Architect’s scope and/or Owner’s program after the effective date and prior to December 5, 2003 (as enumerated in Article 15 hereof). Further changes made after December 5, 2003 will be effective only if memorialized in a Change Order signed by Architect, Owner and Contractor and expressly intended to modify this Agreement.

 

 

 

 

Contractor acknowledges that since all or a portion of the Drawings and Specifications have not as yet received the approval of all appropriate tribal or other governmental agencies, they are not final. Contractor agrees to use its best efforts in assisting Architect, the other design consultants for the Project and Owner to develop final and complete Drawings and Specifications consistent with any requirements that may be made by the appropriate tribal or other governmental agencies in connection with their approvals, consistent with the intent of the Contract Documents and within the Guaranteed Maximum Price hereinafter specified. Furthermore, Contractor shall develop such unit price breakdowns and schedules as Owner or Architect may reasonably require. In that regard and subject to Scope Changes as contemplated in subparagraph 5.2.6.1.1 hereof that are not reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents in their present state, variances between One Hundred Percent (100%) completed and permittable Drawings and Specifications and the Contract Documents shall in no event result in an increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price or an extension of Scheduled Completion Date (as those terms are hereinafter defined), provided that the Project schedule is not impacted by any delay(s) in the completion of the Drawings, the Specifications and the Contract Documents.

 

 

 

 

In the event of conflict between the provisions of the Contract Documents, Owner shall specify which provision shall prevail in each instance (except that the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail over all other Contract Documents).

ARTICLE 2 THE WORK OF THIS CONTRACT

 

The Contractor shall fully execute the Work described in the Contract Documents, and shall provide initial preparation and subsequent periodic updating of a Critical Path Method Schedule (“CPM Schedule”) except to the extent specifically
