<br />§ 2.2 Evidence of the Owner’s Financial Arrangements
<br />§ 2.2.1 Prior to commencement of the Work and upon written request by the Contractor, the Owner shall furnish to the
<br />Contractor reasonable evidence that the Owner has made financial arrangements to fulfill the Owner’s obligations
<br />under the Contract. The Contractor shall have no obligation to commence the Work until the Owner provides such
<br />evidence. If commencement of the Work is delayed under this Section 2.2.1, the Contract Time shall be extended
<br />appropriately.
<br />§ 2.2.2 Following commencement of the Work and upon written request by the Contractor, the Owner shall furnish to
<br />the Contractor reasonable evidence that the Owner has made financial arrangements to fulfill the Owner’s obligations
<br />under the Contract. The Contractor may request such evidence at reasonable intervals following commencement of the
<br />Work and at any point when (1) the Owner fails to make payments to the Contractor as the Contract Documents
<br />require; (2) the Contractor identifies in writing a reasonable concern regarding the Owner’s ability to make payment
<br />when due; or (3) a change in the Work materially changes the Contract Sum. If the Owner fails to provide such
<br />evidence, as required, within fourteen days of the Contractor’s request, the Contractor may immediately stop the Work
<br />and, in that event, shall notify the Owner that the Work has stopped. However, if the request is made because a change
<br />in the Work materially changes the Contract Sum under (3) above, the Contractor may immediately stop only that
<br />portion of the Work affected by the change until reasonable evidence is provided. If the Work is stopped under this
<br />Section 2.2.2, the Contract Time shall be extended appropriately and the Contract Sum shall be increased by the
<br />amount of the Contractor’s reasonable costs of shutdown, delay and start-up, plus interest as provided in the Contract
<br />Documents.
<br />§ 2.2.3 After the Owner furnishes evidence of financial arrangements under this Section 2.2, the Owner shall not
<br />materially vary such financial arrangements without prior notice to the Contractor.
<br />§ 2.2.4 Where the Owner has designated information furnished under this Section 2.2 as "confidential," the Contractor
<br />shall keep the information confidential and shall not disclose it to any other person. However, the Contractor may
<br />disclose "confidential" information, after seven (7) days’ notice to the Owner, where disclosure is required by law,
<br />including a subpoena or other form of compulsory legal process issued by a court or governmental entity, or by court
<br />or arbitrator(s) order. The Contractor may also disclose "confidential" information to its employees, consultants,
<br />sureties, Subcontractors and their employees, Sub-subcontractors, and others who need to know the content of such
<br />information solely and exclusively for the Project and who agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
<br />§ 2.3 Information and Services Required of the Owner
<br />§ 2.3.1 Except for permits and fees that are the responsibility of the Contractor under the Contract Documents,
<br />including those required under Section 3.7.1, the Owner shall secure and pay for necessary approvals, easements,
<br />assessments and charges required for construction, use or occupancy of permanent structures or for permanent
<br />changes in existing facilities.
<br />§ 2.3.2 The Owner shall retain an architect lawfully licensed to practice architecture, or an entity lawfully practicing
<br />architecture, in the jurisdiction where the Project is located. That person or entity is identified as the Architect in the
<br />Agreement and is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in number.
<br />§ 2.3.3 If the employment of the Architect terminates, the Owner shall employ a successor to whom the Contractor has
<br />no reasonable objection and whose status under the Contract Documents shall be that of the Architect.
<br />§ 2.3.4 The Owner shall furnish surveys describing physical characteristics, legal limitations and utility locations for
<br />the site of the Project, and a legal description of the site. The Contractor shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of
<br />information furnished by the Owner but shall exercise proper precautions relating to the safe performance of the
<br />Work.
<br />§ 2.3.5 The Owner shall furnish information or services required of the Owner by the Contract Documents with
<br />reasonable promptness. The Owner shall also furnish any other information or services in the Owner’s control and
<br />relevant to the Contractor’s performance of the Work with reasonable promptness after receiving the Contractor’s
<br />written request for such information or services.
