§ 3.4.3 The Contractor shall enforce strict discipline and good order among the Contractor's employees and other
<br />persons carrying out the Work. The Contractor shall not permit employment of unfit persons or persons not properly
<br />skilled in tasks assigned to them.
<br />§ 3.5 Warranty
<br />§ 3.5.1 The Contractor warrants to the Owner and Architect that materials and equipment furnished under the Contract
<br />will be of good quality and new unless the Contract Documents require or permit otherwise. The Contractor further
<br />warrants that the Work will conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents and will be free from defects,
<br />except for those inherent in the quality of the Work the Contract Documents require or permit. Work, materials, or
<br />equipment not conforming to these requirements may be considered defective. The Contractor's warranty excludes
<br />remedy for damage or defect caused by abuse, alterations to the Work not executed by the Contractor, improper or
<br />insufficient maintenance, improper operation, or normal wear and tear and normal usage. If required by the Architect,
<br />the Contractor shall furnish satisfactory evidence as to the kind and quality of materials and equipment.
<br />§ 3.5.2 All material, equipment, or other special warranties required by the Contract Documents shall be issued in the
<br />name of the Owner, or shall be transferable to the Owner, and shall commence in accordance with Section 9.8.4.
<br />§ 3.6 Taxes
<br />The Contractor shall pay sales, consumer, use and similar taxes for the Work provided by the Contractor that are
<br />legally enacted when bids are received or negotiations concluded, whether or not yet effective or merely scheduled to
<br />go into effect.
<br />§ 3.7 Permits, Fees, Notices and Compliance with Laws
<br />§ 3.7.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall secure and pay for the building
<br />permit as well as for other permits, fees, licenses, and inspections by government agencies necessary for proper
<br />execution and completion of the Work that are customarily secured after execution of the Contract and legally required
<br />at the time bids are received or negotiations concluded.
<br />§ 3.7.2 The Contractor shall comply with and give notices required by applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes,
<br />rules and regulations, and lawful orders of public authorities applicable to performance of the Work.
<br />§ 3.7.3 If the Contractor performs Work knowing it to be contrary to applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules
<br />and regulations, or lawful orders of public authorities, the Contractor shall assume appropriate responsibility for such
<br />Work and shall bear the costs attributable to correction.
<br />§ 3.7.4 Concealed or Unknown Conditions
<br />If the Contractor encounters conditions at the site that are (1) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions
<br />that differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents or (2) unknown physical conditions of an
<br />unusual nature that differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in
<br />construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall promptly provide
<br />notice to the Owner and the Architect before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than 14 days after first
<br />observance of the conditions. The Architect will promptly investigate such conditions and, if the Architect determines
<br />that they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost of, or time required for,
<br />performance of any part of the Work, will recommend that an equitable adjustment be made in the Contract Sum or
<br />Contract Time, or both. If the Architect determines that the conditions at the site are not materially different from those
<br />indicated in the Contract Documents and that no change in the terms of the Contract is justified, the Architect shall
<br />promptly notify the Owner and Contractor, stating the reasons. If either party disputes the Architect's determination or
<br />recommendation, that party may submit a Claim as provided in Article 15.
<br />§ 3.7.5 If, in the course of the Work, the Contractor encounters human remains or recognizes the existence of burial
<br />markers, archaeological sites or wetlands not indicated in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall immediately
<br />suspend any operations that would affect them and shall notify the Owner and Architect. Upon receipt of such notice,
<br />the Owner shall promptly take any action necessary to obtain governmental authorization required to resume the
<br />operations. The Contractor shall continue to suspend such operations until otherwise instructed by the Owner but shall
<br />continue with all other operations that do not affect those remains or features. Requests for adjustments in the Contract
<br />Sum and Contract Time arising from the existence of such remains or features may be made as provided in Article 15.
