The term "Subcontractor" is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in number <br />and means a Subcontractor or an authorized representative of the Subcontractor.

The term "Sub-subcontractor" is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if <br />singular in number and means a Sub-subcontractor or an authorized representative of the Sub-subcontractor. <br />§ 5.2 Award of Subcontracts and Other Contracts for Portions of the Work <br />§ 5.2.1 Subcontracts shall be awarded following competitive bidding as provided by applicable statutes. If the Owner <br />has legal basis forming a reasonable objection to a person or entity proposed by the Contractor, the Owner shall <br />provide prompt notice of same and the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall be equitably adjusted commensurate <br />with the impact. <br />(Paragraphs deleted) <br />§ 5.2.4 The Contractor shall not substitute a Subcontractor, person, or entity for one previously selected if the Owner <br />or Architect makes reasonable objection to such substitution. <br />§ 5.3 Subcontractual Relations <br />By appropriate written agreement, the Contractor shall require each Subcontractor, to the extent of the Work to be <br />performed by the Subcontractor, to be bound to the Contractor by terms of the Contract Documents, and to assume <br />toward the Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities, including the responsibility for safety of the <br />Subcontractor’s Work that the Contractor, by these Contract Documents, assumes toward the Owner . Each <br />subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of the Owner under the Contract Documents with respect <br />to the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor so that subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights.
