<br />ARTICLE 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS
<br />§ 1.1 Basic Definitions
<br />§ 1.1.1 The Contract Documents
<br />The Contract Documents are enumerated in the Agreement between the Owner and Contractor (hereinafter the
<br />Agreement) and consist of the Agreement, Conditions of the Contract (General, Supplementary and other Conditions),
<br />Drawings, Specifications, Addenda issued prior to execution of the Contract, other documents listed in the Agreement,
<br />and Modifications issued after execution of the Contract. A Modification is (1) a written amendment to the Contract
<br />signed by both parties, (2) a Change Order, (3) a Construction Change Directive, or (4) a written order for a minor
<br />change in the Work issued by Owner. The Contract Documents do not include the advertisement or invitation to bid,
<br />Instructions to Bidders, sample forms, the Contractor’s bid or proposal, or portions of Addenda relating to bidding or
<br />proposal requirements.
<br />§ 1.1.2 The Contract
<br />The Contract Documents form the Contract for Construction. The Contract, together with any other written
<br />agreements dated on or about the date hereof, represents the entire and integrated agreement between the parties hereto
<br />and supersedes prior negotiations, representations or agreements. The Contract may be amended or modified only by a
<br />Modification. The Contract Documents shall not be construed to create a contractual relationship of any kind (1)
<br />between the Contractor and the Architect or the Architect’s consultants, (2) between the Owner and a Subcontractor or
<br />a Sub-subcontractor, (3) between the Owner and the Architect or the Architect’s consultants, or (4) between any
<br />persons or entities other than the Owner and the Contractor.
<br />§ 1.1.3 The Work
<br />The term "Work" means the construction and services required by the Contract Documents and includes all other
<br />labor, materials, equipment, and services provided or to be provided by the Contractor to fulfill the Contractor’s
<br />obligations. The Work may constitute the whole or a part of the Project.
<br />§ 1.1.4 The Project
<br />The Project is the total construction of which the Work performed under the Contract Documents may be the whole or
<br />a part and which may include construction by the Owner and by Separate Contractors.
<br />§ 1.1.5 The Drawings
<br />The Drawings are the graphic and pictorial portions of the Contract Documents showing the design, location and
<br />dimensions of the Work, generally including plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules, and diagrams.
<br />§ 1.1.6 The Specifications
<br />The Specifications are that portion of the Contract Documents consisting of the written requirements for materials,
<br />equipment, systems, standards and workmanship for the Work, and performance of related services.
<br />§ 1.1.7 Instruments of Service
<br />Instruments of Service are representations, in any medium of expression now known or later developed, of the tangible
<br />and intangible creative work performed by the Architect and the Architect’s consultants under their respective
<br />professional services agreements. Instruments of Service may include, without limitation, studies, surveys, models,
<br />sketches, drawings, specifications, and other similar materials.
<br />(Paragraphs deleted)
<br />§ 1.2 Correlation and Intent of the Contract Documents
<br />§ 1.2.1 Performance by the Contractor shall be required only to the extent consistent with the Contract Documents and
<br />reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce the indicated results.
<br />§ 1.2.1.1 The invalidity of any provision of the Contract Documents shall not invalidate the Contract or its remaining
<br />provisions. If it is determined that any provision of the Contract Documents violates any law, or is otherwise invalid or
<br />unenforceable, then that provision shall be revised to the extent necessary to make that provision legal and
<br />enforceable. In such case the Contract Documents shall be construed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to give
<br />effect to the parties’ intentions and purposes in executing the Contract.
