<br />§ 4.2.2 As required by the Owner, the Architect will visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction,
<br />or as otherwise agreed with the Owner, to become generally familiar with the progress and quality of the portion of the
<br />Work completed, and to determine in general if the Work observed is being performed in a manner indicating that the
<br />Work, when fully completed, will be in accordance with the Contract Documents. However, the Architect will not be
<br />required to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work. The
<br />Architect will not have control over, charge of, or responsibility for the construction means, methods, techniques,
<br />sequences or procedures, or for the safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work, since these are
<br />solely the Contractor’s rights and responsibilities under the Contract Documents.
<br />§ 4.2.3 On the basis of the site visits, the Architect will keep the Owner reasonably informed about the progress and
<br />quality of the portion of the Work completed, and promptly report to the Owner (1) known deviations from the
<br />Contract Documents, (2) known deviations from the most recent construction schedule submitted by the Contractor,
<br />and (3) defects and deficiencies observed in the Work. The Architect will not be responsible for the Contractor’s
<br />failure to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. The Architect will not
<br />have control over or charge of, and will not be responsible for acts or omissions of, the Contractor, Subcontractors, or
<br />their agents or employees, or any other persons or entities performing portions of the Work.
<br />§ 4.2.4 Communications
<br />The Owner and Contractor shall include the Architect in all communications that relate to or affect the Architect’s
<br />services or professional responsibilities. The Owner shall promptly notify the Architect of the substance of any direct
<br />communications between the Owner and the Contractor otherwise relating to the Project. Communications by and
<br />with the Architect’s consultants shall be through the Architect. Communications by and with Subcontractors and
<br />suppliers shall be through the Contractor. Communications by and with Separate Contractors shall be through the
<br />Owner. The Contract Documents may specify other communication protocols.
<br />§ 4.2.5 Intentionally Omitted
<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 As required by the Owner, the Architect will review and approve, or take other appropriate action upon, the
<br />Contractor’s submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data, and Samples. The Architect’s action will be taken in
<br />accordance with the submittal schedule approved by the Owner or, in the absence of an approved submittal schedule,
<br />with reasonable promptness 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 Documents.
<br />The Architect’s review of the Contractor’s submittals shall not relieve the Contractor of the obligations under
<br />Sections 3.3, 3.5, and 3.12. The Architect’s review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or of any
<br />construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures. The Architect’s approval of a specific item shall
<br />not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.
<br />§ 4.2.8 As required by the Owner, the Construction Manager will prepare Change Orders and Construction Change
<br />Directives,. The Architect will investigate and make recommendations regarding concealed and unknown conditions
<br />as provided in Section 3.7.4.
<br />§ 4.2.9 As required by the Owner, the Architect will conduct inspections to determine the date or dates of Substantial
<br />Completion and the date of final completion; issue Certificates of Substantial Completion pursuant to Section 9.8;
<br />receive and forward to the Owner, for the Owner’s review and records, written warranties and related documents
<br />required by the Contract and assembled by the Contractor pursuant to Section 9.10; and issue a final Certificate for
<br />Payment pursuant to Section 9.10.
