§ 4.2.5 Based on the Architect's evaluations of the Contractor's Applications for Payment, the Architect will review
<br />and certify the amounts due the Contractor and will issue Certificates for Payment in such amounts.
<br />§ 4.2.6 The Architect has authority to reject Work that does not conform to the Contract Documents. Whenever the
<br />Architect considers it necessary or advisable, the Architect will have authority to require inspection or testing of the
<br />Work in accordance with Sections 13.4.2 and 13.4.3, whether or not the Work is fabricated, installed or completed.
<br />However, neither this authority of the Architect nor a decision made in good faith either to exercise or not to exercise
<br />such authority shall give rise to a duty or responsibility of the Architect to the Contractor, Subcontractors, suppliers,
<br />their agents or employees, or other persons or entities performing portions of the Work.
<br />§ 4.2.7 The Architect will review and approve, or take other appropriate action upon, the Contractor's submittals such
<br />as Shop Drawings, Product Data, and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with
<br />information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The Architect's action will be taken
<br />in accordance with the submittal schedule approved by the Architect or, in the absence of an approved submittal
<br />schedule, with reasonable promptness while allowing sufficient time in the Architect's professional judgment to
<br />permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and
<br />completeness of other details such as dimensions and quantities, or for substantiating instructions for installation or
<br />performance of equipment or systems, all of which remain the responsibility of the Contractor as required by the
<br />Contract Documents. The Architect's review of the Contractor's submittals shall not relieve the Contractor of the
<br />obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.5, and 3.12. The Architect's review shall not constitute approval of safety
<br />precautions or of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures. The Architect's approval of
<br />a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.
<br />§ 4.2.8 The Architect will prepare Change Orders and Construction Change Directives, and may order minor changes
<br />in the Work as provided in Section 7.4. The Architect will investigate and make determinations and recommendations
<br />regarding concealed and unknown conditions as provided in Section 3.7.4.
<br />§ 4.2.9 The Architect will conduct inspections to determine the date or dates of Substantial Completion and the date of
<br />final completion; issue Certificates of Substantial Completion pursuant to Section 9.8; receive and forward to the
<br />Owner, for the Owner's review and records, written warranties and related documents required by the Contract and
<br />assembled by the Contractor pursuant to Section 9.10; and issue a final Certificate for Payment pursuant to
<br />Section 9.10.
<br />§ 4.2.10 If the Owner and Architect agree, the Architect will provide one or more Project representatives to assist in
<br />carrying out the Architect's responsibilities at the site. The Owner shall notify the Contractor of any change in the
<br />duties, responsibilities and limitations of authority of the Project representatives.
<br />§ 4.2.11 The Architect will interpret and decide matters concerning performance under, and requirements of, the
<br />Contract Documents on written request of either the Owner or Contractor. The Architect's response to such requests
<br />will be made in writing within any time limits agreed upon or otherwise with reasonable promptness.
<br />§ 4.2.12 Interpretations and decisions of the Architect will be consistent with the intent of, and reasonably inferable
<br />from, the Contract Documents and will be in writing or in the form of drawings. When making such interpretations
<br />and decisions, the Architect will endeavor to secure faithful performance by both Owner and Contractor, will not show
<br />partiality to either, and will not be liable for results of interpretations or decisions rendered in good faith.
<br />§ 4.2.13 The Architect's decisions on matters relating to aesthetic effect will be final if consistent with the intent
<br />expressed in the Contract Documents.
<br />§ 4.2.14 The Architect will review and respond to requests for information about the Contract Documents. The
<br />Architect's response to such requests will be made in writing within any time limits agreed upon or otherwise with
<br />reasonable promptness. If appropriate, the Architect will prepare and issue supplemental Drawings and Specifications
<br />in response to the requests for information.
