CONSTRUCTION PHASE
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
ADMINISTRATION OF THE
2.8.1 The Architect's responsibility to provide Basic Services for the
Construction Phase under this Agreement commences with the award of the
Contract for construction and terminates with the issuance to the Owner of the
final Project Certificate for Payment including the submission of all project close
out documents by the Architect and Contractor. The Architect will administer
the Owner/Contractor contract as provided for in that document. The Architect
agrees to perform a project check prior to the end of the warranty period as a
part of the contract. The check shall not exceed one working day unless
additional time is approved by the Owner.
2.8.2 The Architect shall at all times have access to the Work whenever it is in
preparation or progress.

Contract, but not otherwise, act on behalf, and be the agent, of the Owner
throughout construction of the Project. Instructions, directions, and other
appropriate communications from the Owner to the Contractor shall be given to
the Contractor by the Architect or Construction Manager.
2.8.4 Upon receipt, the Architect shall carefully review and examine the
Contractor's Schedule of Values, together with any supporting documentation
or data which the Owner or the Architect may require from the Contractor. The
purpose of such review and examination shall be to protect the Owner from an
11
unbalanced Schedule of Values which allocates greater value to certain elements
of the Work than is indicated by such supporting documentation or data, or than
is reasonable under the circumstances. If the Schedule of Values was not found
to be appropriate, or if the supporting documentation or data is deemed to be
inadequate, and unless the Owner directs the Architect to the contrary in writing,
the Schedule of Values shall be returned to the Contractor for revision or
supporting documentation or data. After making such examination, if the
Schedule of Values is found to be appropriate as submitted, or if necessary, as
revised, the Architect shall sign the Schedule of Values thereby indicating its
informed belief that the Schedule of Values constitutes a reasonable, balanced
basis for payment of the Contract Price to the Contractor. The Architect shall not
approve such Schedule of Values in the absence of such belief unless directed to
do so, in writing, by the Owner.
2.8.5 The Architect shall carefully inspect the work of the Contractor and shall,
at a minimum, inspect work at the Project site once every week. The purpose of
such inspections shall be to determine the quality and quantity of the work in
comparison with the requirements of the Construction Contract. In making such
inspections, the Architect shall protect the Owner from continuing deficient or
defective work, from continuing unexcused delays in the schedule and from
overpayment to the Contractor. Following each inspection, the Architect shall
submit a written report of such inspection, together with any appropriate
comments or recommendations to the Owner.
2.8.6 The Architect shall initially approve periodic and final payments owed to
the Contractor under the Construction Contract predicated upon inspections of
the work and evaluations of the Contractor's rate of progress in light of the
remaining Contract Time and shall issue to the Owner Approvals of Payment in
such amounts. By issuing an Approval of Payment to the Owner, the Architect
reliably informs the Owner that the Architect has made the inspection of the
work required, and that the work for which payment is approved has reached
the quantities or percentages of completion shown, or both, that the quality of
the Contractor's work meets or exceeds the requirements of the Construction
Contract, and that under the terms and conditions of the Construction Contract,
the Owner is obligated to make payment to the Contractor of the amount
approved.
2.8.7 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation that
the Architect has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check
the quality or quantity of the Work. (2) reviewed construction means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures. (3) reviewed copies of requisitions received
from Subcontractors and material suppliers and other data requested by the
Owner to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment or (4) ascertained how

Manager, to reject Work which does not conform to the Contract Documents.

the intent of the Contract Documents the Architect will have authority, upon
written authorization from the Owner, to require additional inspection or testing
of the Work in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents,
whether or not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed.
2.8.9 The Architect shall review and approve or take other appropriate action
upon Contractor's submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples,
but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with information
given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents. The
Architect's action shall be taken with such reasonable promptness as to cause no
delay in the Contractor's Work or in construction by the Owner's own forces,
while allowing sufficient time in the Architect's professional judgment to permit
adequate review. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the purpose of
determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as dimensions
and quantities or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance
of equipment or systems designed by the Contractors, all of which remain the
responsibility of the Contractors to the extent required by the Contract
Documents. The Architect's review shall not constitute approval of safety
precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated by the Architect, of
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures. The
Architect's approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly
of which the item is a component. When professional certification of
performance characteristic of materials, systems or equipment is required by the
Contract Documents, the Architect shall be entitled to rely upon such
certification to establish that the materials, systems or equipment will meet the
performance criteria required by the Contract Documents. Architect shall take
appropriate action on submittals within 14 calendar days.
2.8.10 The Architect shall review and sign or take other appropriate action on
Change Orders and Construction Change Directives prepared by the
