AIA Document A2 01TM - 2017
<br />General Conditions of the Contract for Construction
<br />§ 1.1.8 Initial Decision Maker
<br />The Initial Decision Maker is the person identified in the Agreement to render initial decisions on Claims in accordance with
<br />Section 15.2. The Initial Decision Maker shall not show partiality to the Owner or Contractor and shall not be liable for
<br />results of interpretations or decisions rendered in good faith.
<br />§ 1.2 Correlation and Intent of the Contract Documents
<br />§ 1.2.1 The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items necessary for the proper execution and completion of the
<br />Work by the Contractor. The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is required by one shall be as binding as if
<br />required by all; performance by the Contractor shall be required only to the extent consistent with the Contract Documents
<br />and 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 enforceable. In
<br />such case the Contract Documents shall be construed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to give effect to the parties'
<br />intentions and purposes in executing the Contract.
<br />§ 1.2.2 Organization of the Specifications into divisions, sections and articles, and arrangement of Drawings shall not control
<br />the Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of Work to be performed by any
<br />trade.
<br />§ 1.2.3 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, words that have well-known technical or construction industry
<br />meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings.
<br />§ 1.3 Capitalization
<br />Terms capitalized in these General Conditions include those that are (1) specifically defined, (2) the titles of numbered
<br />articles, or (3) the titles of other documents published by the American Institute of Architects.
<br />§ 1.4 Interpretation
<br />In the interest of brevity the Contract Documents frequently omit modifying words such as "all" and "any" and articles such
<br />as "the" and "an," but the fact that a modifier or an article is absent from one statement and appears in another is not intended
<br />to affect the interpretation of either statement.
<br />§ 1.5 Ownership and Use of Drawings, Specifications, and Other Instruments of Service
<br />§ 1.5.1 The Architect and the Architect's consultants shall be deemed the authors and owners of their respective Instruments
<br />of Service, including the Drawings and Specifications, and retain all common law, statutory, and other reserved rights in their
<br />Instruments of Service, including copyrights. The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub -subcontractors, and suppliers shall not
<br />own or claim a copyright in the Instruments of Service. Submittal or distribution to meet official regulatory requirements or
<br />for other purposes in connection with the Project is not to be construed as publication in derogation of the Architect's or
<br />Architect's consultants' reserved rights.
<br />§ 1.5.2 The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub -subcontractors, and suppliers are authorized to use and reproduce the Instruments
<br />of Service provided to them, subject to any protocols established pursuant to Sections 1.7 and 1.8, solely and exclusively for
<br />execution of the Work. All copies made under this authorization shall bear the copyright notice, if any, shown on the
<br />Instruments of Service. The Contractor, Subcontractors, Sub -subcontractors, and suppliers may not use the Instruments of
<br />Service on other projects or for additions to the Project outside the scope of the Work without the specific written consent of
<br />the Owner, Architect, and the Architect's consultants.
