<br />Documents. The foregoing representations are subject (1) to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the
<br />Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, (2) to results of subsequent tests and inspections, (3) to
<br />correction of minor deviations from the Contract Documents prior to completion, and (4) to specific qualifications
<br />expressed by the Architect.
<br />
<br />~ 2.6.3.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation that the Architect has (1) made
<br />exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work, (2) reviewed construction
<br />means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received from
<br />Subcontractors and material suppliers and other data requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor's right to
<br />payment, or (4) ascertained how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously paid on account of
<br />the Contract Sum.
<br />
<br />~ 2.6.3.3 The Architect shall maintain a record of the Contractor's Applications for Payment.
<br />
<br />~ 2.6.4 SUBMITTALS
<br />~ 2.6.4.1 The Architect shall review and approve or take other appropriate action upon the Contractor's submittals
<br />such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance
<br />with information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The Architect's action shall be
<br />taken with such reasonable promptness as to cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of the Owner, Contractor
<br />or separate contractors, while allowing sufficient time in the Architect's professional judgment to permit adequate
<br />review. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of
<br />other details such as dimensions and quantities, or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of
<br />equipment or systems, all of which remain the responsibility of the Contractor as required by the Contract
<br />Documents. The Architect's review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or, unless otherwise
<br />specifically stated by the Architect, of any construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The
<br />Architect's approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.
<br />
<br />~ 2.6.4.2 The Architect shall maintain a record of submittals and copies of submittals supplied by the Contractor in
<br />accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
<br />
<br />~ 2.6.4.3 If professional design services or certifications by a design professional related to systems, materials or
<br />equipment are specifically required of the Contractor by the Contract Documents, the Architect shall specify
<br />appropriate performance and design criteria that such services must satisfy. Shop Drawings and other submittals
<br />related to the Work designed or certified by the design professional retained by the Contractor shall bear such
<br />professional's written approval when submitted to the Architect. The Architect shall be entitled to rely upon the
<br />adequacy, accuracy and completeness of the services, certifications or approvals performed by such design
<br />professionals.
<br />
<br />~ 2.6.5 CHANGES IN THE WORK
<br />~ 2.6.5.1 The Architect shall prepare Change Orders and Construction Change Directives for the Owner's approval
<br />and execution in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Architect may authorize minor changes in the Work
<br />not involving an adjustment in Contract Sum or an extension of the Contract Time which are consistent with the
<br />intent of the Contract Documents. If necessary, the Architect shall prepare, reproduce and distribute Drawings and
<br />Specifications to describe Work to be added, deleted or modified, as provided in Section 2.8.2.
<br />
<br />~ 2.6.5.2 The Architect shall review properly prepared, timely requests by the Owner or Contractor for changes in the
<br />Work, including adjustments to the Contract Sum or Contract Time. A properly prepared request for a change in the
<br />Work shall be accompanied by sufficient supporting data and information to permit the Architect to make a
<br />reasonable determination without extensive investigation or preparation of additional drawings or specifications. If
<br />the Architect determines that requested changes in the Work are not materially different from the requirements of
<br />the Contract Documents, the Architect may issue an order for a minor change in the Work or recommend to the
<br />Owner that the requested change be denied.
<br />
<br />~ 2.6.5.3 If the Architect determines that implementation of the requested changes would result in a material change
<br />to the Contract that may cause an adjustment in the Contract Time or Contract Sum, the Architect shall make a
<br />recommendation to the Owner, who may authorize further investigation of such change. Upon such authorization,
<br />and based upon information furnished by the Contractor, if any, the Architect shall estimate the additional cost and
