3.22.1 UNCOVERING OF SUBCONTRACT WORK

3.22.1.1 If required in writing by the Contractor, the Subcontractor must uncover any portion of the subcontract Work which has been covered by the Subcontractor in violation of the Subcontract documents or contrary to a directive issued to the Subcontractor by the Contractor. Upon receipt of a written directive from the Contractor, the Subcontractor shall uncover such work for the Contractor’s or Owner’s inspection and restore the uncovered Subcontract Work to its original condition at the Subcontractor’s time and expense.

3.22.1.2  The Contractor may direct the Subcontractor to uncover portions of the Subcontract Work for inspection by the Owner or Contractor at any time. The Subcontractor is required to uncover such work whether or not the Contractor or Owner had requested to inspect the Subcontract Work prior to it being covered. Except as provided in Subparagraph 3.22.1.1, this Agreement shall be adjusted by change order for the cost and time of uncovering and restoring any work which is uncovered for inspection and proves to be installed in accordance with the Subcontract Documents, provided the Contractor had not previously instructed the Subcontractor to leave the work uncovered. If the Subcontractor uncovers work pursuant to a directive issued by the Contractor, and such work upon inspection does not comply with the Subcontract Documents, the Subcontractor shall be responsible for all costs and time of uncovering, correcting and restoring the work so as to make it conform to the Subcontract Documents. If the Contractor or some other entity for which the Subcontractor is not responsible caused the nonconforming condition, the Contractor shall be required to adjust this Agreement by change order for all such costs and time.

3.22.2 CORRECTION OF WORK

3.22.2.1  If the Architect/Engineer or Contractor rejects the Subcontract Work or the Subcontract Work is not in conformance with the Subcontract Documents, the Subcontractor shall promptly correct the Subcontract Work whether it had been fabricated, installed or completed.

3.22.2.2 In addition to the Subcontractor’s obligations under Paragraph 3.21, the Subcontractor agrees to promptly correct, after receipt of a written notice from the Contractor, all Subcontract Work performed under this Agreement which proves to be defective in workmanship or materials within a period of one year from the date of Substantial Completion of the Subcontract Work or for a longer period of time as may be required by specific warranties in the Subcontract Documents. Substantial Completion of the Subcontract Work, or of a designated portion, occurs on the date when construction is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Subcontract Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Project, or a designated

portion, for the use for which it is intended. If, during the one-year period, the Contractor fails to provide the Subcontractor with prompt written notice of the discovery of defective or nonconforming Subcontract Work, the Contractor shall neither have the right to require the Subcontractor to correct such Subcontract Work nor the right to make claim for breach of warranty. If the Subcontractor fails to correct defective or nonconforming Subcontract Work within a reasonable time after receipt of notice from the Contractor, the Contractor may correct such Subcontract Work pursuant to Subparagraph 10.1.1.

3.22.3  The Subcontractor’s correction of Subcontract Work pursuant to this Paragraph 3.22 shall not extend the one-year period for the correction of Subcontract Work, but if Subcontract Work is first performed after Substantial Completion, the one-year period for corrections shall be extended by the time period after Substantial Completion and the performance of that portion of Subcontract Work. The Subcontractor’s obligation to correct Subcontract Work within one year as described in this Paragraph 3.22 does not limit the enforcement of Subcontractor’s other obligations with regard to the Agreement and the Subcontract Documents.

3.22.4 If the Subcontractor’s correction or removal of Subcontract Work destroys or damages completed or partially completed work of the Owner, the Contractor or any separate contractors or subcontractors, the Subcontractor shall be responsible for the reasonable cost of correcting such destroyed or damaged property.

3.22.5 If portions of Subcontract Work which do not conform with the requirements of the Subcontract Documents are neither corrected by the Subcontractor nor accepted by the Contractor, the Subcontractor shall remove such Subcontract Work from the Project site if so directed by the Contractor.

The Subcontractor shall examine the items provided and report to the Contractor in writing any items it may discover that do not conform to requirements of the Subcontract Documents. The Subcontractor shall not proceed to install non-conforming items without further instructions from the Contractor. Loss or damage due to acts or omissions of the Subcontractor shall, upon two (2) business Days written notice to the Subcontractor be deducted from any amounts due or to become due the Subcontractor.

lifts or similar items owned, leased or under the control of the Contractor, the Subcontractor shall indemnify and be liable to the Contractor as provided in Article 9 for any loss or damage (including bodily injury or death) which may arise from such use, except to the extent that such loss or damage is caused by the negligence of the Contractor’s employees operating the Contractor’s equipment.

3.26 WORK FOR OTHERS Until final completion of the Subcontract Work, the Subcontractor agrees not to perform any work directly for the Owner or any tenants, or deal directly with the Owner’s representatives in connection with the Subcontract Work, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Contractor.

3.27  SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT STARTUP With the assistance of the Owner’s maintenance personnel and the Contractor, the Subcontractor shall direct the check-out and operation of systems and equipment for readiness, and assist in their initial startup and the testing of the Subcontract Work.

The Subcontractor shall be liable to the Contractor and the Owner for all loss, cost and expense attributable to any acts of commission or omission by the Subcontractor, its employees and agents resulting from the failure to comply with Laws, including, but not limited to, any fines, penalties or corrective measures, except as provided in Subparagraph 3.14.9.

3.29 CONFIDENTIALITY To the extent the Owner-Contractor agreement provides for the confidentiality of any of the Owner’s proprietary or otherwise confidential information disclosed in connection with the performance of this Agreement, the Subcontractor is equally bound by the Owner’s confidentiality requirements.

The Subcontractor shall be liable for all loss, including all costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees, but shall not be responsible for such defense or loss when a particular design, process or product of a particular manufacturer or manufacturers is required by the Subcontract Documents. However, if the Subcontractor has reason to believe that a particular design, process or product required by the Subcontract Documents is an infringement of a patent, the Subcontractor shall promptly furnish such information to the Contractor or be responsible to the contractor and Owner for any loss sustained as a result.

At the Subcontractor’s request and expense, to the extent agreed upon in writing, the Contractor shall institute reasonable legal remedies to mitigate the damages and pursue payment of the Subcontractor’s final payment including interest.

reasonable time for payment and such action will not create the reimbursement obligation recited above nor be in violation of this Agreement or considered premature for purposes of preserving and protecting the Subcontractor’s rights.

8.6 PAYMENT USE RESTRICTION Payments received by the Subcontractor shall be used to satisfy the indebtedness owed by the Subcontractor to any person furnishing labor or materials, or both, for use in performing the Subcontract Work through the most current period applicable to progress payments received from the Contractor before it is used for any other purpose.

8.7  PAYMENT USE VERIFICATION If the Contractor has reason to believe that the Subcontractor is not complying with the payment terms of this Agreement, the Contractor shall have the right to contact the Subcontractor’s subcontractors and suppliers to ascertain whether they are being paid by the Subcontractor in accordance with this Agreement.

8.9 SUBCONTRACTOR PAYMENT FAILURE Upon paymentbythe Contractor, the Subcontractor shall promptly pay its subcontractors and suppliers the amounts to which they are entitled. In the event the Contractor has reason to believe that labor, material or other obligations incurred in the performance of the Subcontract Work are not being paid, the Contractor may give written notice of a potential claim or lien to the Subcontractor and may take any steps deemed necessary to assure that progress payments are utilized to pay such obligations, including but not limited to the issuance of joint checks. If upon receipt of notice, the Subcontractor does not (a) supply evidence to the satisfaction of the Contractor that the moneys owing have been paid; or (b) post a bond indemnifying the Owner, the Contractor, the Contractor’s surety, if any, and the premises from a claim or lien, the Contractor shall have the right to withhold from any payments due or to become due to the Subcontractor a reasonable amount to protect the Contractor from any and all loss, damage or expense including attorneys’ fees that may arise out of or relate to any such claim or lien.

8.10  SUBCONTRACTOR ASSIGNMENT OF PAYMENTS The Subcontractor shall not assign any moneys due or to become due under this Agreement, without

the written consent of the Contractor, unless the assignment is intended to create a new security interest within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
