CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
1.1.1 Definitions
The Contract Documents
The Contract documents consist of the Owner-Contractor Agreement, Advertisement, Bidding
Documents, Contract Forms, Conditions of the Contract, Specifications, Drawings, and all addenda
issued prior to and all Modifications issued after execution of the Contract. A Modification is (1) a written
amendment to the contract signed by both parties, (2) a Change Order, (3) a written interpretation issued
by the Designer pursuant to Subparagraph 2.2.8, or (4) a written order for a minor change in the work
issued by the Designer pursuant to Paragraph 12.4.
1.1.2 The Contract
The Contract Documents form the Contract for Construction. This Contract represents the entire
and integrated agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior negotiations,
representations, or agreements, either written or oral. The Contract may be amended or modified only by
a Modification as defined in Subparagraph 1.1.1. The Contract Documents shall not be construed to
create any contractual relationship of any kind between the Designer and the Contractor, but the
Designer shall be entitled to performance of obligations intended for his benefit, and to enforcement
thereof. Nothing contained in the Contract Documents shall create any contractual relationship between
the Owner or the Designer and any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor.
1.1.3 The Work
The Work comprises the completed construction required by the Contract Documents and
includes all labor necessary to produce such construction, and all materials and equipment incorporated
or to be incorporated in such construction.
1.1.4 The Project
The project is the total construction of which the Work performed under the Contract Documents
may be the whole or a part.
1.2 Execution, Correlation and Intent
The Contract Documents shall be signed in not less than triplicate by the Owner and Contractor.
If either the Owner or the Contractor or both do not sign the Conditions of the Contract, Drawings,
Specifications, or any of the other Contract Documents, the Designer shall identify such Documents.
By executing the Contract, the Contractor represents that he has visited the site, familiarized
himself with the local conditions under which the work is to be performed, and correlated his observations
with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items necessary for the proper execution
and completion of the Work. The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is required by any
one shall be as binding as if required by all. Work not covered in the Contract Documents will not be
required unless it is consistent therewith and is reasonably inferable therefrom as being necessary to
produce the intended results. Words and abbreviations which have well-known technical or trade
meanings are used in the Contract Documents in accordance with such recognized meanings. In case of
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12
2
inconsistent requirements in the Contract Documents the requirements for the greater quantity or higher
quality shall take precedence and shall be the Contract requirement.
The organization of the specifications into divisions, sections and articles, and the arrangement
of Drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the work among Subcontractors or in establishing
the extent of Work to be performed by any trade.
Where used in conjunction with the Designer`s or Engineer`s response to submittals, requests,
applications, inquiries, reports and claims by the Contractor, the meaning of the term "approved" will be
held to the limitations of the Designer`s responsibilities and duties as specified in the General and
Supplementary Conditions. In no case will "approval" by the Designer be interpreted as an assurance to
the Contractor that the requirements of the Contract Documents have been fulfilled.
Where reference is made to standards or trade association publications, it shall mean to refer to
the latest edition and revision thereof, if any, in effect on the date of the contract Documents.
Except as otherwise defined in context, the following words, terms, and phrases shall mean as
follows:
(1) "as shown," "as indicated," "as detailed," or "as noted" shall mean "as shown (indicated, etc.) on
drawings or any other diagrammatic or written reference on the Drawings."
(2) "Provide" shall mean "furnish and install, complete and ready for intended use."
(3) "Directed," "required," "permitted," "ordered," "designed," "prescribed," and similar words shall
mean the "direction (requirement, permission, order, designation, or prescription) of the Designer."
(4) "Approved," "acceptable," "satisfactory," and similar words shall mean "approved by (acceptable or
satisfactory to) the Designer".
(5) "Necessary," "responsible," "proper," "correct," and similar words shall mean "necessary
(reasonable, proper, or correct) in the judgment of the Designer."
Words in the singular shall also mean and include the plural, wherever the context so indicates,
and words in the plural shall mean the singular, wherever the context so indicates.
1.3 Ownership and Use of Documents
All Drawings, Specifications and copies thereof furnished by the Designer are and shall remain
the property of the City. They are to be used only with respect to his project and are not to be used any
other project. With the exception of one contract set for each party to the Contract, such documents are
to be returned or suitably accounted for to the City on request at the completion of the Work. Submission
or distribution to meet official regulatory requirements or for other purposes in connection with the Project
is not to be construed as publication in derogation of the City's rights.

Designer
2.1 Definition
The duly authorized representative of the Owner that is responsible for the satisfactory
completion of the project.
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12

2,2 Administration of the Contract
The Designer will provide administration of the Contract as hereinafter described. The Designer
will be the Owner's representative during construction and until final payment is due. The Designer will
advise and consult with the Owner. The Owner's instructions to the Contractor shall be forwarded
through the Designer. The Designer will have authority to act on behalf of the Owner only to the extent
provided in the Contract Documents, unless otherwise modified by written instrument in accordance with
Subparagraph 2.2.18.
The Designer will visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction to familiarize
himself generally with the progress and quality of the Work and to determine in general if the Work is
proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents. However, the Designer will not be required to
make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work. On the
basis of his on-site observations as an Designer, he will keep the Owner informed of the progress of the
work, and will endeavor to guard the Owner against defects and deficiencies in the Work of the
Contractor.
The Designer will not be responsible for and will not have control or charge of construction
means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in
connection with the Work, and he will not be responsible for the Contractor's failure to carry out the Work
in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Designer will not be responsible for or have control or
charge over the acts or omissions of the Contractor, Subcontractors, or any of their Designers or
employees, or any other persons performing any of the Work.
The Designer shall at all times have access to the Work wherever it is in preparation and
progress. The Contractor shall provide facilities for such access so the Designer may perform his
functions under the Contract Documents.
Based on the Designers observations and an evaluation of the Contractor's Applications for
Payment, the Designer will determine the amounts owing to the Contractor and will issue Certificates for
Payment in such amounts, as provided in Paragraph 9.4.
The Designer will be the interpreter of the requirements of the Contract Documents and the judge of
the performance thereunder by both the Owner and Contractor.
The Designer will render interpretations necessary for the proper execution or progress of the Work,
with reasonable promptness and within thirty (30) days of request for interpretation, in accordance with
Subparagraph 3.2.8. Either party to the Contract may make written request to the Designer for such
interpretations.
Claims, disputes and other matters in question between the Contractor and the Owner relating to the
execution or progress of the Work or the interpretation of the Contract Documents shall be referred initially to
the Designer for decision which will render in writing within thirty (30) days.
All interpretations and decisions of the Designer shall be consistent with the intent of and reasonably
inferable from the Contract Documents and will be in writing or in the form of drawings. In his capacity as
interpreter and judge, he will endeavor to secure faithful performance by both the Owner and the Contractor,
will not show partiality to either, and will not be liable for the result of any interpretation or decision rendered in
good faith in such capacity.

neither the Designer's authority to act under this Subparagraph 2.2.13, nor any decision made by him in good
faith either to exercise or not to exercise such authority, shall give rise to any duty or responsibility of the
Designer to the Contractor, any Subcontractor, any of their Designers or employees, or any other person
performing any of the Work.
The Designer will review and approve or take other appropriate action upon Contractor's submittals
such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, but only for conformance with the design concept of the

completion, will receive and forward to the Owner for the Owner's review written warranties and related
documents required by the Contract and assembled by the Contractor, and will issue a final Certificate for
Payment upon compliance with the requirements of Paragraph 9.9.

assist the Designer in carrying out his responsibilities at the site. The duties, responsibilities and limitations of
authority of any such Project Representative shall be as explained by the Designer at a pre-construction
meeting.

If the Contractor fails to correct defective Work as required by Paragraph 13.2 or persistently fails to
carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Owner, by a written order signed
personally or by an Designer specifically so empowered by the Owner in writing, may order the Contractor to
stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated; however, this right of

or more due to a failure of the Awarding Authority to act within the time specified in this contract, the Awarding
Authority shall make an adjustment in the Contract price for any increase in the cost of performance of this
Contract, but shall not include any profit to the General Contractor on such increase; and provided further, that
the Awarding Authority shall not make any adjustment in the Contract Price under this provision for any
suspension, delays, interruption or failure to act to the extent that such is due to any cause for which this

The general contractor must submit the amount of a claim under provision (a) to the awarding
authority in writing as soon as practicable after the end of the suspension, delay, interruption or failure to act
and, in any event, not later than the date of final payment under this contract and, except for costs due to a
suspension order, the awarding authority shall not approve any costs in the claim incurred more than twenty
days before the general contractor notified the awarding authority in writing of the act or failure to act involved
in the claim.
3.4 Owner's Right To Carry Out the Work
If the Contractor defaults or neglects to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents and fails within seven days after receipt of written notice from the Owner to commence and
continue correction of such default or neglect with diligence and promptness, the Owner may, after seven
days following receipt by the Contractor of an additional written notice and without prejudice to any other
remedy he may have, make good such deficiencies. In such case an appropriate Change Order shall be
issued deducting from the payments then or thereafter due the Contractor the cost of correcting such
deficiencies, including compensation for the Designer's additional services made necessary by such default,
neglect or failure. Such action by the Owner and the amount charged to the Contractor are both subject to the
prior approval of the Designer. If the payments then or thereafter due the Contractor are not sufficient to cover
such amount, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.
3.5 Partial Occupancy
`Prior to the date of Substantial Completion of the entire Project stipulated in the agreement, the
Owner shall have the right, from time to time, to occupy and use any portion of the Project as the Work in
connection therewith is substantially completed, provided such occupancy and use do not unduly interfere with
the Contractor's operations.
The Designer will, prior to any such occupancy and use, give written notice to the Contractor,
indicating the areas intended to be occupied and used, and the intended commencement date of such
occupancy and use. Occupancy and use shall not commence prior to a time mutually agreed to by the Owner
and the Contractor.
Upon receipt of such notice of intent, the Contractor shall promptly secure and submit to the Designer
endorsement from the insurance carrier and written consent from the surety, permitting occupancy and use of
the Work, or any designated portion thereof, by the Owner prior to Substantial Completion of the entire
Project. The Contractor shall be permitted to cancel his building risk insurance for building occupied by the
Owner.
Partial occupancy by the Owner shall not constitute an acceptance of Work not in accordance with the
Contract Documents nor relieve the Contractor from the obligation of performing any Work required by the
Contract but not completed at the time of occupancy. Before such occupancy, the Designer will give the
Contractor a list of items to be completed prior to Final Completion occurring in the areas to be occupied.
The Contractor shall be relieved of all maintenance costs of the portion of the Project occupied under
this agreement.
The Contractor shall not be responsible for wear and tear or damage resulting solely from such
occupancy.
The Contract Sum will be adjusted by mutually acceptable arrangements between the Owner and the
Contractor with respect to heat, electricity, and water furnished by the Contractor to the portion of the Work so
occupied.
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12

When any portion of the building is in condition to receive fittings, appliances, furniture or other
property furnished, or furnished and installed, by the Owner under separate contracts, the Contractor shall
allow the Owner to bring such items into the building and shall provide all reasonable facilities and protection
therefor.

and design, (2) it will perform at least equally the function imposed by the general design for the public work
being contracted for or the material being purchased, and (3) it conforms substantially, even with deviations, to
the detailed requirements for the item in the said specifications".
However, the Contractor and the Subcontractors are required to submit to the Designer for consideration as to
its equality, a written notice containing the name and full particulars pertaining to any items other than the
specific or specifics named or described in the Contract Documents. Such submittal shall in no event be made
later than 120 calendar days prior to the incorporation of the item into the Work, except in any case in which
(1) the period of time specified in the Contract Documents for Substantial completion of the Work is less than
120 calendar days form the time of execution of the Contract. The aforesaid written notice shall be submitted
to the Designer immediately following the execution of the Contract.
Upon receipt of such written notice, the Designer shall investigate whether the item in question shall
be considered equal to the item named or described in the Contract Documents. Upon conclusion of the
investigation, the Designer shall, in writing, promptly advise the Contractor that the item in question is, or is
not, considered the equal of the item named or described as aforesaid, and that said item may, or may not, be
furnished on the Work accordingly. Such notice must have the concurrence of the Department to be valid.

Designer shall consider the item equal to the item so named or described, as provided by law.
The equality of items offered as "equal" to the items named or described shall be proved to the
satisfaction of the Designer at the expense of the Contractor or Subcontractor submitting the substitution.
The Contractor or Subcontractor, as the case may be, shall assume full responsibility for the prior
performance of any item submitted as "equal" to the specific or specifics named and assume the costs of any
changes in his own Work or in the Work of other trades which may be due to such substitution.
4.5 Warranty
The Contractor warrants to the Owner and the Designer that all materials and equipment
furnished under this Contract will be new unless otherwise specified, and that all Work will be of good quality,
free from faults and defects and in conformance with the Contract Documents. All Work not conforming to

of the Contract Documents are at variance therewith in any respect, he shall promptly notify the Designer in
writing, and any necessary changes shall be accomplished by appropriate Modification.

at the time of submission and the Designer has given written approval to the specific deviation. The
Contractor shall not be relieved from responsibility for errors or omissions in the Shop Drawings, Product Data
or Samples by the Designer's approval thereof.
The Contractor shall direct specific attention, in writing or on resubmitted Shop Drawings, Product
Data or Samples, to revisions other than those requested by the Designer on previous submittals.

Work, provided that any such claim, damage, loss or expense (1) is attributable to bodily injury, sickness,
disease or death, or to injury to or destruction of tangible property (other than the Work itself) including the
loss of use resulting therefrom, and (2) is caused in whole or in part by any negligent act or omission of the
Contractor, any Subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose
acts any of them may be liable, regardless of whether or not it is caused in part by a party indemnified
hereunder. Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or otherwise reduce any other right or

Said agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of the Owner and the Designer under the Contract
Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor so that the subcontracting thereof
will not prejudice such rights, and shall allow to the Subcontractor, unless specifically provided otherwise in
the Contractor-Subcontractor agreement, the benefit of all rights, remedies and redress against the Contractor
that the Contractor, by these Documents, has against the Owner. Where appropriate, the Contractor shall
require each Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with his Subsubcontractors. The Contractor shall
make available to each proposed Subcontractor, prior to the execution of the Subcontract, copies of the
Contract Documents to which the Subcontractor will be bound by this Paragraph 5.3, and identify to the
Subcontractor any terms and conditions of the proposed Subcontract which may be at variance with the
Contract Documents. Each Subcontractor shall similarly make copies of such documents available to his Sub-
subcontractors.
Paragraph 5.3.1 applies to Subcontractors for sub-trades included in Item 1 of the Form for General
Bid.
The Contractor and each Subcontractor for a sub-trade listed in Item 2 of the form for General Bid shall
execute a Subcontract in accordance with M.G.L. Chapter 149, Section 44F.

6.1 Owner's Right to Perform Work and To Award Separate Contracts
The Owner reserves the right to perform work related to the Project with his own forces, and to award
separate contracts in connection with other portions of the Project or other work on the site under these or
similar Conditions of the Contract. If the Contractor claims that delay or additional cost is involved because of
such action by the Owner, he shall make such claim as provided elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
When separate contracts are awarded for different portions of the Project or other work on the site,
the term Contractor in the contract Documents in each case shall mean the Contractor who executes each
separate Owner-Contractor Agreement.
The Owner will provide for the coordination of the work of his own forces and of each separate
contractor with the Work of the Contractor, who shall cooperate therewith as provided in Paragraph 6.2.

introduction and storage of their materials, and equipment and the execution of their work, and shall connect
and coordinate his Work with theirs as required by the Contract Documents.

If any part of the Contractor's Work depends for proper execution or results upon the work of the
Owner or any separate contractor, the Contractor shall, prior to proceeding with the Work, promptly report to
the Designer any apparent discrepancies or defects in such other work that render it unsuitable for such
proper execution and results, Failure of the Contractor so to report shall constitute an acceptance of the
Owner's or separate contractor's work as fit and proper to receive his Work, except as to defects which may
subsequently become apparent in such work by others.
Any costs cause by defective or ill-timed work shall be borne by the party responsible therefor.
Should the Contractor wrongfully cause damage to the work or property of the Owner, or to other work
on the site, the contractor shall promptly remedy such damage as provided in Subparagraph 10.2.5.
Should the Contractor wrongfully cause damage to the work or property of any separate contractor,
the Contractor shall upon due notice promptly attempt to settle with such other contractor by agreement, or
otherwise to resolve the dispute. If such separate contractor sues the Owner on account of any damage
alleged to have been caused by the Contractor, the Owner shall notify the Contractor who shall defend such
proceedings at the Owner's expense, and if any judgment or award against the Owner arises therefrom the
Contractor shall pay or satisfy it and shall reimburse the Owner for all attorney's fees and court which the
Owner has incurred.
Should the Contractor sustain damage through an act or omission of a subcontractor of any such
separate contractor, the Contractor shall have no claim against the Owner for such damage.
The settlement of any claim set forth in the preceding subparagraphs 6.2.5 and 6.2.6 shall in no case
be a cause for delays in the Work.
6.3 Owner's Right to Clean Up
If a dispute arises between the Contractor and separate contractors as to their responsibility
for cleaning up as required by Paragraph 4.15, the Owner may clean up and charge the cost thereof to the
contractors responsible therefor as the Designer shall determine to be just.

written decision from the Administrator.
Appeal of an Designer's decision must be made directly to the Department by certified mail (copy to
the Designer and Owner) within twenty-one calendar days after the date on which the party making the appeal
receives the Designer's written decision. Failure to appeal within this period will result in the Designer's

Appeal procedures shall be in conformance with M.G.L. Chapter 30, Section 39Q which provides as
follows:
Dispute regarding changes in and interpretations of the terms or scope of the Contract and denials of
or failures to act upon claims for payment for extra work or materials shall be resolved according to the
following procedures, which shall constitute the exclusive method for resolving such disputes. Written notice
of the matter in dispute shall be submitted promptly by the claimant to the chief executive official of the state
agency which awarded the contract or his/her designee. No person or business entity having a contract with a
state agency shall delay, suspend, or curtail performance under that contract as a result of any dispute subject
to this section. Any disputed order, decision, or action by the agency or its authorized representative shall be
fully performed or complied with pending resolution of the dispute.
Within thirty days of submission of the dispute to the chief executive official of the state agency or
his/her designee, s/he shall issue a written decision stating the reasons therefor, and shall notify the parties of
their right of appeal under this section. If the official or his/her designee is unable to issue a decision within
thirty days, s/he shall notify the parties to the dispute in writing of the reasons why a decision cannot be issued
within thirty days and of the date by which the decision shall issue. Failure to issue a decision within the thirty-
day period of within the additional time period specified in such written notice shall be deemed to constitute a
denial of the claim and shall authorize resort to the appeal procedure described below. The decision of the
chief executive official or his/her designee shall be final and conclusive unless an appeal is taken as provided
below.
Within twenty-one calendar days of the receipt of a written decision or of the failure to issue a decision
as stated in the preceding subparagraph, any aggrieved party may file a notice of claim for an adjudicatory
hearing with the division of hearing officers or if the amount in controversy exceeds ten thousand dollars in lieu
of appealing the decision of the chief executive official, the aggrieved party may file an action directly in a
court of competent jurisdiction and shall serve copies thereof upon all other parties in the form and manner
prescribed by the rules governing the conduct of adjudicatory proceedings of the division of hearing officers.
The appeal shall be referred to a hearing officer experienced in construction law and shall be prosecuted in
accordance with the formal rules of procedure for the conduct of adjudicatory hearings of the division of
hearing officers, except as provided below. The hearing officer shall issue a final decision as expeditiously as
possible, but in no event more than one hundred and twenty calendar days after conclusion of the adjudicatory
hearings, unless the decision is delayed by a request for extension of time for filing post-hearing briefs or other
submissions assented to by all parties. Whenever, because an extension of time has been granted, the
hearing officer is unable to issue a decision within one hundred and twenty days, s/he shall notify all parties of
the reasons for the delay and the date when the decision will issue. Failure to issue a decision with in the one
hundred and twenty-day period or within the additional period specified in such written notice shall give the
petitioner the right to pursue any legal remedies available to him/her without further delay.
When the amount in dispute is less then ten thousand dollars, a contractor who is party to the dispute
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12
18
may elect to submit the appeal to a hearing officer experienced in construction law for expedited hearing in
accordance with the informal rules of practice and procedure of the division of hearing officers. An expedited
hearing under this subparagraph shall be available at the sole option of the contractor. The hearing officer
shall issue a decision no later than sixty days following the conclusion of any hearing conducted pursuant to
this subparagraph. The hearing officer's decision shall be final and conclusive, and shall not be set aside
except in cases of fraud.
The Contractor shall proceed with the disputed Work as directed by the Designer. Notice must be
given to the Project Representative by the Contractor's superintendent every day that disputed Work is to be

The Contractor shall make and retain for at least six years after final payment records which reflect
the transactions and dispositions of the firm in accordance with the requirements of M.G.L. Chapter 30,
Section 39R (b).
These records and the subcontractor's records pertaining to this Contract shall be available for
examination by the Owner, Department, Division of Capital Planning and Operations, and Inspector General
for six years after final payment.
Prior to execution of the Contract the Contractor shall submit a statement of management on internal

appropriate action was taken with respect to any difference.
The statement of management on internal accounting controls must have been reviewed by an
independent certified public accountant (CPA), and that CPA shall file a statement with the Owner in
conformance with the requirements of M.G.L. Chapter 30, Section 39R (c). The CPA's statements must:
state that the internal accounting controls statement was examined:

The Contractor shall submit to the Owner annually during the term of the Contract a financial
statement prepared by an independent CPA. This statement shall be based on an audit of the firm's records

Subparagraph 7.10.3 through 7.10.5 shall be reported to the Owner. State the change, the reason for it, and
the date of the change. Include a statement from the CPA approving or commenting on the change in
conformance with M.G.L. Chapter 30, Section 39R (b) (3).

Unless otherwise provided, the Contract Time is the period of time allotted in the Contract Documents
for Substantial Completion of the Work as defined in Subparagraph 8.1.3., including authorized adjustments
thereto.
The date of commencement of the Work is the date established in a notice to proceed. If there is no
notice to proceed, it shall be the date of the Owner-Contractor Agreement or such other date as may be
established therein.
The Date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof is the Date certified by
the Designer when construction is sufficiently complete, in accordance with the Contract Documents, so the
Owner can occupy or utilize the Work or designated portion thereof for the use for which it is intended.
The term day as used in the Contract Documents shall mean calendar day unless otherwise
specifically designated.
8.2 Progress and Completion
All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Contract.
The Contractor shall begin the Work on the date of commencement as defined in Subparagraph
8.1.2. He shall carry the Work forward expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve Substantial
Completion within the Contract Time.
8.3 Delays and Extension of Time
If the Contractor is delayed at any time in the progress of the Work by any act or neglect of the Owner
or the Designer, or by any employee of either, or by any separate contractor employed by the Owner, or by
changes ordered in the Work, or by labor disputes, fire unusual delay in transportation, adverse weather
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12
20
conditions not reasonably anticipatable, unavoidable casualties, or any causes beyond the Contractor's
control, or by delay authorized by the Owner pending appeal to and decision by the Administrator", or by any
other cause which the Designer determines may justify the delay, then the Contract Time shall be extended by
Change Order for such reasonable time as the Designer may determine.
Any claim for extension of time shall be made in writing to the Designer not more than twenty days
after the commencement of the delay; otherwise it shall be waived. In the case of a continuing delay only one
claim is necessary. The Contractor shall provide an estimate of the probable effect of such delay on the
progress of the Work.
If no agreement is made stating the dates upon which interpretations as provided in Subparagraph
2.2.8 shall be furnished, then no claim for delay shall be allowed on account of failure to furnish such
interpretations until fifteen days after written request is made for them, and not then unless such claim is
reasonable.
This Paragraph 8.3 does not exclude the recovery of damages for delay by either party under other
provisions of the Contract Documents.
The Contractor and the Surety of the Contractor's performance bond shall be jointly and severally
liable for, and shall pay to the Owner the expenses for inspection of Work performed after the time stipulated
in the Owner-Contractor Agreement for Substantial Completion. Such inspection costs shall include fees paid
to the Designer as extra services at the rate stipulated in the Contract for Designerural Services between the
Owner and the Designer, the costs of the Project Representative at the current salary rate and any other direct
expenses due to inspection. In no case, however, shall the total amount of inspection costs exceed an
aggregate total computed at the rate of two hundred dollars per day. The Owner may retain from monies
otherwise due the Contractor whatever sums accrue to the Owner pursuant to this provision. The Contractor
shall not be liable for inspection costs for delay in performance as provided hereunder for any period for which
an extension of the Contract Time has been granted pursuant to the provisions of Subparagraph 8.3.1.

Contract Documents.
9.2 Schedule of Values
Before the first Application for Payment, the Contractor shall submit to the Designer a schedule of
values allocated to the various portions of the Work, prepared in such form and supported by such data to
substantiate its accuracy as the Designer may require. This schedule, unless objected to by the Designer,

down in such form as the Designer may require. Each item in the schedule of values shall include its proper
share of overhead and profit.

supported by such data substantiating the Contractor's right to payment as the Designer may require, and
reflecting retainage as provided in Paragraph 9.5 as supplemented. Such Application for Payment shall be
submitted on a form supplied by the Designer. The form shall show separately:
(1) The value of Labor and materials incorporated in the Work.
(2) The value, kind, and quantity of each item of material or equipment not incorporated in the Work but
delivered and suitably stored at some other location agreed upon in writing.
(3) The value, kind, and quantity of each item of material or equipment not incorporated in the Work but
suitably stored at some other location agreed upon in writing.
(4) All Change Orders approved up to the date of the Application for Payment.
In no event may materials or equipment be deemed delivered and suitably stored at the site (or at

9.4 Certificates For Payment
The Designer will, within seven days after the receipts of the Contractor's Application for Payment,
either issue a Certificate for Payment to the Owner, with a copy to the Contractor, for such amount as the
Designer determines is properly due, or notify the Contractor in writing his reasons for withholding a Certificate
as provided in Subparagraph 9.6.1.
The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a representation by the Designer to the
Owner, based on his observations at the site as provided in Sub-paragraph 2.2.3 and the data comprising the
Application for Payment, that the Work has progressed to the point indicated; that, to the best of his
knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents
(subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial
Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests required by or performed under the Contract Documents, to
minor deviations from the Contract Documents, correctable prior to completion, and to any specific
qualifications stated in his Certificate); and that the contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified.
However, by issuing a Certificate for Payment, the Designer shall not thereby; be deemed to represent that he
has made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work or that he
has reviewed the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or that he has made
any examination to ascertain how or for what purpose the Contractor has used the moneys previously paid on
account of the Contract Sum.
9.5 Progress Payments
After the Designer has issued a Certificate for Payment, the Owner shall make payment in the manner
and within the time provided in the Contract Documents.
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12
22
The Contractor shall promptly pay each Subcontractor, upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out
of the amount paid to the Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's Work, the amount to which said
Subcontractor is entitled, reflecting the percentage actually retained, if any, from payments to the Contractor
on account of such Subcontractor's Work. The Contractor shall, by an appropriate agreement with each
Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make payments to his Sub-subcontractors in similar manner.
The Designer may, on request and at his discretion, furnish to any Subcontractor, if practicable,
information regarding the percentages of completion or the amounts applied for by the Contractor and the
action taken thereon by the Designer on account of Work done by such Subcontractor.
Neither the Owner nor the Designer shall have any obligation to pay or to see to the payment of any
moneys to any Subcontractor except as may otherwise be required by law.
No Certificate for a progress payment, nor any progress payment, nor any partial or entire use or
occupancy of the Project by the Owner, shall constitute an acceptance of any Work not in accordance
with the Contract Documents.
After the Designer has issued a Certificate for Payment the Owner shall make payment to the
Contractor in accordance with Section 39K of Chapter 30 of the General Laws which provides as follows:
Within 15 days after receipt from the Contractor, at the place designated by the awarding authority if
such a place is so designated, of a periodic estimate requesting payment of the amount due for the preceding
month, the City will make a periodic payment to the Contractor for the Work performed during the preceding
month and for the materials not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the site (or at
some location agreed upon in writing) to which the Contractor has title or to which a subcontractor has title
and has authorized the Contractor to transfer title to the awarding Authority, less (1) a retention based on its
estimate of the fair value of its claims against the Contractor and less (2) a retention for direct payments to
Subcontractors based on demands for same in accordance with the provisions of Section 39 F. and less (3) a
retention not exceeding five percent (5%) of the approved amount of the periodic payment. After the receipt of
a periodic estimate requesting final payment and within 65 days after (a) the Contractor fully completes the
Work or substantially completes the work so that the value of the work remaining to be done is, in the estimate
of the City, less than one percent (1%) of the original Contract price, or (b) the Contractor substantially
completes the Work and the City takes possession for occupancy, whichever occurs first, the City shall pay
the Contractor the entire balance due on the Contract less, (1) a retention based on its estimate of the fair
value of its claims against the Contractor and of the cost of completing the incomplete and unsatisfactory
items of Work less (2) a retention for direct payments to Subcontractors based on demands for same in
accordance with the provisions of Section 39 F, or based on the record of payments by the Contractor to the
Subcontractors under this Contract if such record of payment indicates that the Contractor has not paid
Subcontractors as provided in Section 39 F. If the City fails to make payment as herein provided, there shall
be added to each such payment daily interest at the rate of three percentage points above the rediscount rate
than charged by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston commencing on the first day after said payment is due
and continuing until the payment is delivered or mailed to the Contractor; provided, that no interest shall be
due, in any event, on the amount due on a periodic estimate for final payment until fifteen days after receipt of
such a periodic estimate form the Contractor, at the place designated by the City if such a place is so
designated. The Contractor agrees to pay to each Subcontractor a portion of any such interest paid in
accordance with the amount due each Subcontractor.
The Contractor shall make payments to filed Subcontractors and to other Subcontractors as defined in
following Subparagraph 9.5.8 in accordance with Section 39F of Chapter 30 of the General Laws which
provides as follows:
(a) Forthwith after the Contractor receives payment on account of a periodic estimate, the Contractor shall
pay to each Subcontractor the amount paid for the labor performed and the materials furnished by the
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12
23
Subcontractor, less any amount specified in any court proceedings barring such payment and also less any
amount claimed due from the Subcontractor by the Contractor.
(b) Not later than the 65th day after each Subcontractor substantially completes his Work in accordance with
the plans and specifications, the entire balance due under the subcontract less amounts retained by the City
as the estimated costs of completing the incomplete and unsatisfactory items of Work, shall be due the
Subcontractor; and the City shall pay that amount to the Contractor. The Contractor shall forthwith pay to the
Subcontractor the full amount received from the City less any amount specified in any court proceedings
barring such payment and also less any amount claimed due from the Subcontractor by the Contractor.
(c) Each payment made by the City to the Contractor pursuant to subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph
for the labor performed and the materials furnished by a subcontractor shall be made to the Contractor for the
account of that Subcontractor; and the City shall take reasonable steps to compel the Contractor to make
each such payment to each such Subcontractor. If the City has received a demand for direct payment from a
Subcontractor for any amount which has already been included in a payment to the Contractor or which is to
be included in a payment to the Contractor for payment to the Subcontractor as provided in subparagraphs (a)
and (b), the City shall act upon the demand as provided in this section.
(d) If, within 70 days after the Subcontractor has substantially completed the Subcontract Work, the
Subcontractor has not received from the Contractor the balance due under the Subcontract including any
amount due for extra labor and materials furnished to the Contractor, less any amount retained by the City as
the estimated costs of completing the incomplete and unsatisfactory items of Work, the Subcontractor may
demand direct payment of that balance from the City. The demand shall be by a sworn statement delivered to
or sent by certified mail to the City, and a copy be valid even if delivered or mailed prior to the seventieth day
after the Subcontractor has substantially completed the Subcontract Work. Within ten days after the
Subcontractor has delivered or so mailed a copy to the Contractor, the Contractor may reply to the demand.
The reply shall be by a sworn statement delivered to or sent by certified mail to the City and a copy shall be
delivered to or sent by certified mail to the Subcontractor at the same time. The reply shall contain a detailed
breakdown of the balance due under the Subcontract including any amount due for extra labor and materials
furnished to the Contractor and of the amount due for extra labor and materials furnished to the Contractor
and of the amount due for each claim made by the Contractor against the Subcontractor.
(e) Within 15 days after receipt of the demand by the City, but in no event prior to the 70th day after
substantial completion of the Subcontract Work, the City shall make direct payment to the Subcontractor of the
balance due under the Subcontract including any amount due for extra labor and materials furnished to the
Contractor, less any amount (i) retained by the City as the estimated cost of completing the incomplete or
unsatisfactory items of Work, (ii) specified in any court proceedings barring such payment, or (iii) disputed by
the Contractor in the sworn reply; provided, that the City shall not deduct from a direct payment any amount as
provided in part (iii) if the reply is not sworn to, or for which the sworn reply does not contain the detailed
breakdown required by subparagraph (d).
The City shall make further direct payments to the Subcontractor forthwith after the removal of the basis for
deductions from direct payments made as provided in part (i) and (ii) of this subparagraph.
(f) The City shall forthwith deposit the amount deducted from a direct payment as provided in part (iii) of
subparagraph (e) in an interest-bearing joint account in the names of the Contractor and the Subcontractor in
a bank in Massachusetts selected by the City or agreed upon by the contractor and the Subcontractor and
shall notify the Contractor and the Subcontractor of the date of the deposit and the bank receiving the deposit.
The bank shall pay the amount in the account, including accrued interest, as provided in an agreement
between the Contractor and the Subcontractor or as determined by decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(g) All direct payments and all deductions from demands for direct payments deposited in an interest-bearing
account or accounts in a bank pursuant to subparagraph (f) shall be made out of amounts payable to the
general Contractor at the time of receipt of a demand for direct payment from a Subcontractor and out of
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12
24
amounts which later become payable to the Contractor and in order of receipt of such demands from
Subcontractors. All direct payments shall discharge the obligation of the City to the Contractor to the extent of
such payment.
(h) The City shall deduct from payments to the Contractor amounts which, together with the deposits in
interest-bearing accounts pursuant to subparagraph (f), are sufficient to satisfy all unpaid balances of
demands for direct payment received from Subcontractors. All such amounts shall be earmarked for such
direct payments, and the Subcontractors shall have a right to such deductions prior to any claims against such
amounts by creditors of the Contractor.
(i) If the Subcontractor does not receive payment as provided in subparagraph (a) or if the Contractor does
not submit a periodic estimate for the value of the labor and materials performed or furnished by the
Subcontractor and the Subcontractor does not receive payment for same when due less the deductions
provided for in subparagraph (a), the Subcontractor may demand direct payment by following the procedure in
subparagraph (d) and the Contractor may file a sworn reply as provided in that same subparagraph. A
demand made after the first day of the month following that for which the Subcontractor performed or
furnished the labor and materials for which the Subcontractor seeks payment shall be valid even if delivered or
mailed prior to the time payment was due on a periodic estimate from the Contractor. Thereafter the City shall
proceed as provided in subparagraph (e), (f), (g), and (h).
Pursuant to section 39F of Chapter 30 of the Laws, the term "Subcontractor" as used in preceding
Subparagraph 9.5.7 shall mean a person who files a sub-bid and receives a Subcontract as a result of that
filed sub-bid or who is approved by the City in writing as a person performing labor or both performing labor
and furnishing materials pursuant to a contract with the Contractor.
9.6 Payments Withheld
The Designer may decline to certify payment and may withhold his Certificate in whole or in part, to
the extent necessary reasonably to protect the Owner, if in his opinion he is unable to make representations to
the Owner as provided in Subparagraph 9.4.2. If the Designer is unable to make representations to the
Owner as provided in Subparagraph 9.4.2 and to certify payment in the amount of the Application, he will
notify the Contractor as provided in Subparagraph 9.4.1. If the Contractor and the Designer cannot agree on
a revised amount, the Designer will promptly issue a Certificate for Payment for the amount for which he is
able to make such representations to the Owner. Subject to the provisions of Subparagraph 9.6.3 herein
below, the Designer may also decline to certify payment or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or
subsequent observations, he may nullify the whole or any part of any Certificate for Payment previously issued
to such extent as may be necessary in his opinion to protect the Owner from loss because of:
.1 defective Work not remedied
.2 third party claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of such claims,
.3 failure of the contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for labor, materials or
equipment,
.4 reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum,
.5 damage to the Owner or another contractor,
.6 reasonable evidence that the Work will not be completed within the Contract Time, or
.7 persistent failure to carry out the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
When the above grounds in Subparagraph 9.6.1 are removed, payment shall be made for amounts
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12
25
withheld because of them.
The City may make changes in any periodic estimate submitted by the Contractor in accordance with
Section 39K of Chapter 30 of the General Laws, and the payment due on said periodic estimate shall be
computed in accordance with the changes so made. The provisions of said Section 39K shall govern
payments pursuant to periodic estimates on which the City has made changes. The Designer shall mark the
date of receipt on the estimate.
9.7 Failure of Payment
If the Owner fails to make payments as set forth in Section 39K of Chapter 30, the Contractor shall be
compensated as set forth in said Section.
9.8 Substantial Completion
When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a designated portion thereof which is acceptable to
the Owner, is substantially complete as defined in Subparagraph 8.1.3, the Contractor shall prepare for
submission to the Designer a list of items to be completed or corrected. The failure to include any items on
such list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the
Contract Documents. When the Designer on the basis of an inspection determines that the Work or
designated portion therefor is substantially complete, he will then prepare a Certificate of Substantial
Completion which shall establish the Date of Substantial Completion, shall state the responsibilities of the
Owner and the Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, and insurance, and
shall fix the time within which the Contractor shall complete the items listed therein. Warranties required by
the Contract Documents shall commence on the Date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated
portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Substantial Completion. The Certificate of
Substantial Completion shall be submitted to the Owner and the Contractor for their written acceptance of the
responsibilities assigned to them in such Certificate.
Upon substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof and upon application by the
Contractor and certification by the Designer, the Owner shall make payment, reflecting adjustment in
retainage, if any, for such Work or portion thereof, as provided in the Contract Documents.
9.9 Final Completion and Final Payment
Upon receipt of written notice that the work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and upon
receipt of a final Application for Payment, the Designer will promptly make such inspection and, when he finds
the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed, he will promptly issue a
final Certificate for Payment stating that to the best of his knowledge, information and belief, and on the basis
of his observations and inspections, the Work has been completed in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Contract Documents and that the entire balance found to be due the Contractor, and noted in
said final Certificate, is due and payable. The Designer's final Certificate for Payment will constitute a further
representation that the conditions precedent to the Contractor's being entitled to final payment as set forth in
Subparagraph 9.9.2 have been fulfilled. Final payment shall be made in accordance with section 39K of
Chapter 30, quoted in Subparagraph 9.5.6 hereinabove, which Section takes precedence over any
contradictory provisions of Paragraph 9.9.
Neither the final payment nor the remaining retained percentage shall become due until the Contractor
submits to the Designer (1) an affidavit that all payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other
indebtedness connected with the Work for which the Owner or his property might in any way be responsible,
have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) consent of surety, if any, to final payment and (3), if required by the
Owner, other data establishing payment or satisfaction of all such obligations, such as receipts, releases and
waivers of liens arising out of the Contract, to the extent and in such form as may be designated by the
Owner. If any Subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by the Owner, the Contractor may
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12
26
furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify him against any such lien. If any such lien remains
unsatisfied after all payments are made, the Contractor shall refund to the Owner all moneys that the latter
may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. The
affidavit and consent of surety shall be submitted on AIA forms G706 "Contractor's Affidavit of Payment of
Debts and Claims" and G707 "Consent of Surety Company to Final Payment".
If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion thereof is materially delayed through no
fault of the Contractor or by the issuance of Change Orders affecting final completion, and the Designer so
confirms, the Owner shall, upon application by the Contractor and certification by the Designer, and without
terminating the Contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and
accepted. If the remaining balance for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than the retainage
stipulated in the Contract Documents, and if bonds have been furnished as provided in Paragraph 7.5, the
written consent of the surety to the payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed
and accepted shall be submitted by the Contractor to the Designer prior to certification of such payment. Such
payment shall be made under the terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not
constitute a waiver of claims.
The making of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the Owner except those arising
from:
.1 unsettled liens,
.2 faulty or defective Work appearing after Substantial Completion,
.3 failure of the Work to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents, or
.4 terms of any special warranties required by the Contract Documents.
The acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by the Contractor except those
previously made in writing and identified by the Contractor as unsettled at the time of the final Application for
Payment.
10. ARTICLE 10

the policies.
11.2 Owner's Liability Insurance
The Owner shall be named as an additional insured on the Contractor's Liability Insurance Policies.
11.3 Property Insurance
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12

The Contractor shall purchase and maintain property insurance upon the entire Work at the site to the
full insurable value thereof. This insurance shall be taken out in a company or companies against which the
Owner has no reasonable objection and shall include the interests of the Owner, the Contractor,
Subcontractors and Sub Subcontractors and shall insure against the perils of fire and extended coverage and
shall include "all risks" insurance for physical loss or damage including, without duplication, theft, vandalism
and malicious mischief. The insurance shall also cover portions of the Work stored off the site or in transit
which are included in an Application for Payment under Subparagraph 9.3.2. If this insurance is written with
stipulated amounts deductible, the Owner shall not be responsible for any difference between the payments
made by the insurance carrier and the claim.
The Contractor shall purchase and maintain such boiler and machinery insurance as may be required
by the Contract Documents or by law. This insurance shall include the interests of the Owner, the Contract,
Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors in the Work.
Any loss insured under Subparagraph 11.3.1 is to be adjusted with the Owner and made payable to the

manner.
The Contractor shall file the original and one certified copy of all policies with the Owner before

insurance and to so notify the Owner, then the Contractor shall bear all reasonable costs properly attributable
thereto.
(intentionally deleted)
The Owner and Contractor waive all rights against (1) each other and the Subcontractors, Sub-
subcontractors, Designers and employees each of the other, and (2) the Designer and separate contractors, if
any, and their subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, Designers and employees, for damages caused by fire or
other perils to the extent covered by insurance obtained pursuant to this Paragraph 11.3 or any other property
insurance applicable to the Work, except such rights as they may have to the proceeds of such insurance held
by the Owner as trustee. The foregoing waiver afforded the Designer, his Designers and employees shall not
extend to the liability imposed by Subparagraph 4.18.3. The Owner or the Contractor, as appropriate, shall
require of the Designer, separate contractors, Subcontractors and Sub-subcontractors by appropriate
agreements, written where legally required for validity, similar waivers each in favor of all other parties
enumerated in this Subparagraph 11.3.6.
If required in writing by any party in interest, the Owner as trustee shall, upon the occurrence of an
insured loss, give bond for the proper performance of his duties. He shall deposit in a separate account any
money so received, and he shall distribute it in accordance with such agreement as the parties in interest may
reach, or in accordance with an award by arbitration in which case the procedure shall be as provided in
Paragraph 7.9. If after such loss no other special agreement is made, replacement of damaged work shall be

of this power, and if such objection be made, arbitrators shall be chosen as provided in Paragraph 7.9. The
Owner as trustee shall, in that case, make settlement with the insurers in accordance with the directions of
such arbitrators. If distribution of the insurance proceeds by arbitration is required, the arbitrators will direct
such distribution.
If the Owner finds it necessary to occupy or use a portion or portions of the Work prior to Substantial
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12
30
Completion thereof, such occupancy or use shall not commence prior to a time mutually agreed to by the
Owner and Contractor and to which the insurance company or companies providing the property insurance
have consented by endorsement to the policy or policies. This insurance shall not be cancelled or lapsed on
account of such partial occupancy or use. Consent of the Contractor and of the insurance company or
companies to such occupancy or use shall not be unreasonably withheld.
11.4 Loss of Use Insurance
The Owner, at his option, may purchase and maintain such insurance as will insure him against loss
of use of his property due to fire or other hazards, however caused. The Owner waives all rights of action

hazards however caused, to the extent covered by insurance under this Paragraph 11.4.
12 ARTICLE 12
CHANGES IN THE WORK
12.1 Change Orders
A Change Order is a written order to the Contractor signed by the Owner and the Designer, issued
after execution of the Contract, authorizing a change in the Work or an adjustment in the Contract Sum or the
Contract Time. The Contract Sum and the Contract Time may be changed only by Change Order. A Change
Order signed by the Contractor indicates his agreement therewith, including the adjustment in the Contract
Sum or the Contract Time. All Change Orders must be countersigned by the Administrator in accordance with
Paragraph 3.1 as supplemented.
The Owner, without invalidating the Contract, may order changes in the Work within the general scope
of the Contract consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, the Contract Sum and the Contract Time
being adjusted accordingly. All such changes in the Work shall be authorized by Change Order, and shall be
performed under the applicable conditions of the Contract Documents.
The cost or credit to the Owner resulting from a change in the Work shall be determined in one or
more of the following ways:
.1 by mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data
to permit evaluation;
.2 by unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon;
.3 by cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually acceptable fixed or
percentage fee, or
.4 by the method provided in Subparagraph 12.1.4.
If none of the methods set forth in Clauses 12.1.3.1, 12.1.3.2 or 12.1.3.3 is agreed upon, the
Contractor, provided he receives a written order signed by the Owner, shall promptly proceed with the Work
involved. The cost of such Work shall then be determined by the Designer on the basis of the reasonable
expenditures and savings of those performing the Work attributable to the change, including, in the case of an
increase in the Contract Sum, a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit. In such case, and also under
Clauses 12.1.3.3 and 12.1.3.4 above, the Contractor shall keep and present, in such form as the Designer
may prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data for inclusion in a Change
Order.
1. Cost of materials entering permanently in the Work, including cost of delivery:
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12
31
2. Cost of labor at the rates found elsewhere in this document including foremen:
3. Rental value at fair market rental rates of equipment and machinery employed directly on the Work
(hand tools and minor equipment excluded):
4. A percentage amount of 25% of item 2 above to cover Workman's Compensation, F.I.C.A., and
unemployment contributions.
For Work performed by the Contractor with his own forces there shall be added a percentage fee for
the Contractor equal to 15% of the total of Items 1,2,3 hereinabove.
For Work performed by a filed or non-filed Subcontractor there shall be added a percentage fee for
the Subcontractor equal to 15% of the total of Items 1,2,3 hereinabove. To this total amount of the
Subcontractor's price there may be added an additional percentage fee of 10% for the Contractor.
The percentage fee shall be compensation to cover the cost of supervision, layout, overhead, bonds,
profit, and all other expenses which are not included in the cost of the Work as defined above.
Pending final determination of cost to the Owner, payments on account shall be made on the
Designer's Certificate for Payment. The amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor to the Owner for any
deletion or change which results in a net decrease in the Contract Sum will be the amount of the actual net
cost as confirmed by the Designer. When both additions and credits covering related Work or substitutions
are involved in any one change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall be figured on the basis of the net
increase, if any, with respect to that change.
If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and if the quantities
originally contemplated are so changed in a proposed Change Order that application of the agreed unit prices
to the quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or the Contractor, the
applicable unit prices shall be equitably adjusted.
12.2 Concealed Conditions
Pursuant to Section 39N of Chapter 30 of the Laws, the following shall apply to differing concealed
conditions:
If, during the progress of the Work, the Contractor or the City discovers that the actual subsurface or
latent physical conditions encountered at the site differ substantially or materially from those shown on the
plans or indicated in the COntract Documents either the Contractor or the City may request an equitable
adjustment in the Contract Price applying to Work affected by the differing site conditions. A request for such
an adjustment shall be in writing and shall be delivered by the party making such claim to the other party as
soon as possible after such conditions are discovered. Upon receipt of such a claim from the Contractor, or
upon its own initiative, the City shall make an investigation of such physical conditions, and, if they differ
substantially or materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents or from those ordinarily
encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the Contract
Documents and are of such a nature as to cause an increase or decrease in the cost of the Work, the
contracting Authority shall make an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price and the Contract shall be
modified in writing accordingly.
12.3 Claims for Additional Cost
If the Contractor wishes to make a claim for an increase in the Contract Sum, he shall give the
Designer written notice thereof within twenty days after the occurrence of the event giving rise to such claim.
This notice shall be given by the Contractor before proceeding to execute the Work, except in an emergency
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12
32
endangering life or property in which case the Contractor shall proceed in accordance with Paragraph 10.3.
No such claim shall be valid unless so made. If the Owner and the Contractor cannot agree on the amount of
the adjustment in the Contract Sum, it shall be determined by the Designer. Any change in the Contract Sum
resulting from such claim shall be authorized by Change Order.
If the Contractor claims that additional cost is involved because of, but not limited to, (1) any written
interpretation pursuant to Subparagraph 2.2.8, (2) any order by the Owner to stop the Work pursuant to
Paragraph 3.3 where the Contractor was not at fault, (3) any written order for a minor change in the Work
issued pursuant to Paragraph 12.4, or (4) failure of payment by the Owner pursuant to Paragraph 9.7, the
Contractor shall make such claims as provided in Subparagraph 12.3.1, except as set forth in Subparagraph
3.3.2 of the Supplementary Conditions.
12.4 Minor Changes in the Work
The Designer will have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving an
adjustment in the Contract Sum or an extension of the Contract Time and not consistent with the intent of the
Contract Documents. Such changes shall be effected by written order, and shall be binding on the Owner and
the Contractor. The Contractor shall carry out such written orders promptly.
13 ARTICLE 13
UNCOVERING AND CORRECTION OF WORK13.1
13.1 Uncovering of Work
If any portion of the Work should be covered contrary to the request of the Designer or to
requirements specifically expressed in the Contract Documents, it must, if required in writing by the Designer,
be uncovered for his observation and shall be replaced at the Contractor's expense.
If any other portion of the Work has been covered which the Designer has not specifically requested
to observe prior to being covered, the Designer may request to see such Work and it shall be uncovered by
the Contractor. If such Work be found in accordance with the Contract Documents, the cost of uncovering and
replacement shall, by appropriate Change Order, be charged to the Owner. If such Work be found not in
accordance with the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall pay such costs unless it be found that this
condition was caused by the Owner or a separate contractor as provided in Article 6, in which event the
Owner shall be responsible for the payment of such costs.
13.2 Correction of Work
The Contractor shall promptly correct all Work rejected by the Designer as defective or as failing to
conform to the Contract Documents whether observed before or after Substantial Completion and whether or
not fabricated, installed or completed. The Contractor shall bear all costs of correcting such rejected Work,
including compensation for the Designer's additional services made necessary thereby.
If, within one year after the Date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof
or within one year after acceptance by the Owner of designated equipment or within such longer period of time
as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any applicable special warranty required by the Contract
Documents, any of the Work is found to be defective or not in accordance with the Contract Documents, the
Contractor shall correct it promptly after receipt of a written notice from the Owner to do so unless the Owner
has previously given the Contractor a written acceptance of such condition. This obligation shall survive
termination of the Contract. The Owner shall give such notice promptly after discovery of the condition.
The Contractor shall remove from the site all portions of the Work which are defective or non-conforming and
which have not been corrected under Subparagraphs 4.5.1, 13.2.1 and 13.2.2, unless removal is waived by
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12
33
the Owner.
If the Contractor fails to correct defective or nonconforming Work as provided in Subparagraphs 4.5.1,
13.2.1 and 13.2.2, the Owner may correct it in accordance with Paragraph 3.4.
If the Contractor does not proceed with the correction of such defective or non-conforming Work within
a reasonable time fixed by written notice from the Designer, the Owner may remove it and may store the
materials or equipment at the expense of the Contractor. If the Contractor does not pay the cost of such
removal and storage within ten days thereafter, the Owner may upon ten additional days' written notice sell
such Work at auction or at private sale and shall account for the net proceeds thereof, after deducting all the
costs that should have been borne by the Contractor, including compensation for the Designer's additional
services made necessary thereby. If such proceeds of sale do not cover all costs which the Contractor should
have borne, the difference shall be charged to the Contractor and an appropriate Change Order shall be
issued. If the payments then or thereafter due the Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amount, the
Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.
The Contractor shall bear the cost of making good all work of the Owner or separate contractors
destroyed or damaged by such correction or removal.
Nothing contained in this Paragraph 13.2 shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with
respect to any other obligation which the Contractor might have under the Contract Documents, including
Paragraph 4.5 hereof. The establishment of the time period of one year after the Date of Substantial
Completion or such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any warranty
required by the Contract Documents relates only to the specific obligation of the Contractor to correct the
Work, and has no relationship to the time within which his obligation to comply with the Contract Documents
may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish the
Contractor's liability with respect to his obligations other than specifically to correct the Work.
13.3 Acceptance of Defective or Non-Conforming Work
If the Owner prefers to accept defective or nonconforming Work, he may do so instead of requiring its
removal and correction, in which case a Change Order will be issued to reflect a reduction in the Contract
Sum where appropriate and equitable. Such adjustment shall be effected whether or not final payment has
been made.
13.4 Special Guarantees And Warranties
All guarantees and warranties required in the various Sections of the Specifications which originate
with a Subcontractor or manufacturer must be delivered to the Designer before final payment to the Contractor
may be made for the amount of that subtrade or for the phase of Work to which the guarantee or warranty
relates.
The failure to deliver a required guarantee or warranty shall be held to constitute a failure of the
Subcontractor to fully complete his Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
The Contractor's obligation to correct Work as set forth in Paragraph 13.2 is in addition to, and not in
substitution of, such guarantees or warranties as may be required in the various Sections of the
Specifications.
14 ARTICLE 14
TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT
14.1 Termination By the Contractor
Northampton Rev. 2/21/12
34
If the Work is stopped for a period of 30 days under any order of any court or other public Authority
having jurisdiction or as a result of an act of government, such as a declaration of a national emergency make
materials unavailable, through no act or fault of the Contractor or a Subcontractor, or their Designers or
employees, or any other person performing any of the Work under a contract with the Contractor, then the
Contractor may, upon seven additional days' written notice to the Owner and Designer, terminate the Contract
and recover from the Owner payment for all Work executed and for any proven loss sustained upon any
materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery, including reasonable profit and damages.
14.2 Termination By The Owner
If the Contractor is adjudged a bankrupt, or if he makes a general assignment for the benefit of his
creditors, or if a receiver is appointed on account of his insolvency, or if he persistently or repeatedly refuses
or fails, except in cases for which extension of time is provided, to supply enough properly skilled workmen or
proper materials, or if he fails to make prompt payment to Subcontractors or for materials or labor, or
persistently disregards laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public authority having jurisdiction,
or otherwise is guilty of a substantial violation of a provision of the Contract Documents, then the Owner, upon
certification by the Designer that sufficient cause exists to justify such action may, without prejudice to any
right or remedy and after giving the Contractor and his surety, if any, seven days' written notice, terminate the
employment of the Contractor and take possession of the site and of all materials, equipment, tools,
construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Contractor and may finish the Work by whatever
method he may deem expedient. In such case the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further
payment until the Work is finished.
If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum exceeds the costs of finishing the Work, including
compensation for the Designer's additional services made necessary thereby, such excess shall be paid to the
Contractor. If such costs exceed the unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner.

Information about Prevailing Wage Schedules for Awarding Authorities and Contractors
• This wage schedule applies only to the specific project referenced at the top of this page and uniquely identified by the
“Wage Request Number” on all pages of this schedule.
• An Awarding Authority must request an updated wage schedule from the Department of Labor Standards (“DLS”) if it has
not opened bids or selected a contractor within 90 days of the date of issuance of the wage schedule. For CM AT RISK projects
(bid pursuant to G.L. c.149A), the earlier of: (a) the execution date of the GMP Amendment, or (b) the bid for the first
construction scope of work must be within 90-days of the wage schedule issuance date.
• The wage schedule shall be incorporated in any advertisement or call for bids for the project as required by M.G.L. c. 149,
§ 27. The wage schedule shall be made a part of the contract awarded for the project. The wage schedule must be posted in a
conspicuous place at the work site for the life of the project in accordance with M.G.L. c. 149 § 27. The wages listed on the
wage schedule must be paid to employees performing construction work on the project whether they are employed by the prime
contractor, a filed sub-bidder, or any sub-contractor.
• All apprentices working on the project are required to be registered with the Massachusetts Department of Labor
Standards, Division of Apprentice Standards (DLS/DAS). Apprentice must keep his/her apprentice identification card on
his/her person during all work hours on the project. An apprentice registered with DAS may be paid the lower apprentice
wage rate at the applicable step as provided on the prevailing wage schedule. Any apprentice not registered with DLS/DAS
regardless of whether or not they are registered with any other federal, state, local, or private agency must be paid the
journeyworker's rate for the trade.
• The wage rates will remain in effect for the duration of the project, except in the case of multi-year public construction
projects. For construction projects lasting longer than one year, awarding authorities must request an updated wage schedule.
Awarding authorities are required to request these updates no later than two weeks before the anniversary of the date the
contract was executed by the awarding authority and the general contractor. For multi-year CM AT RISK projects, awarding
authority must request an annual update no later than two weeks before the anniversary date, determined as the earlier of: (a)
the execution date of the GMP Amendment, or (b) the execution date of the first amendment to permit procurement of
construction services. Contractors are required to obtain the wage schedules from awarding authorities, and to pay no less than
these rates to covered workers. The annual update requirement is not applicable to 27F “rental of equipment” contracts.
• Every contractor or subcontractor which performs construction work on the project is required to submit weekly payroll
reports and a Statement of Compliance directly to the awarding authority by mail or email and keep them on file for three years.
Each weekly payroll report must contain: the employee’s name, address, occupational classification, hours worked, and wages
paid. Do not submit weekly payroll reports to DLS. A sample of a payroll reporting form may be obtained at
http://www.mass.gov/dols/pw.
• Contractors with questions about the wage rates or classifications included on the wage schedule have an affirmative
obligation to inquire with DLS at (617) 626-6953.
• Employees not receiving the prevailing wage rate set forth on the wage schedule may report the violation to the Fair Labor
Division of the office of the Attorney General at (617) 727-3465.
• Failure of a contractor or subcontractor to pay the prevailing wage rates listed on the wage schedule to all employees who
perform construction work on the project is a violation of the law and subjects the contractor or subcontractor to civil and
criminal penalties.

Sudok uThe Associated Press
TODAY is Friday, Nov. 12, the
316th day of 2021. There are 49
days left in the year.
TODAY ’S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY:
On Nov. 12, 1942, the World
War II naval Battle of Guadal-
canal began. (The Allies ended
up winning a major victory
over Japanese forces.)
ON THIS DATE:
In 1920, baseball got its first
“czar ” as Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Landis was elected
commissioner of the American
and National Leagues.
In 1927, Josef Stalin became
the undisputed ruler of the So-
viet Union as Leon Trotsky
was expelled from the Com-
munist Party.
In 1936, the San Francisco-
Oakland Bay Bridge opened as
President Franklin D. Roo-
sevelt pressed a telegraph key
in Washington, D.C., giving the
green light to traffic.
In 1948, former Japanese
premier Hideki Tojo and sev-
eral other World War II
Japanese leaders were sen-
tenced to death by a war
crimes tribunal.
In 1969, news of the My Lai
Massacre carried out by U.S.
forces in South Vietnam in
March 1968 was broken by in-
vestigative reporter Seymour
Hersh.
In 1975, Supreme Court
Justice William O. Douglas re-
tired because of failing health,
ending a record 36-year term.
In 1982, Yuri V. Andropov
was elected to succeed the late
Leonid I. Brezhnev as general
secretary of the Soviet Com-
munist Party’s Central Com-
mittee.
In 1987, the American Medi-
cal Association issued a policy
statement saying it was uneth-
ical for a doctor to refuse to
treat someone solely because
that person had AIDS or was
H I V- p o s i t i v e .
In 1996, a Saudi Boeing 747
jetliner collided shortly after
takeoff from New Delhi, India,
with a Kazak Ilyushin-76 cargo
plane, killing 349 people.
In 2001, American Airlines
Flight 587, an Airbus A300

WASHINGTON — P resi-
dent Joe Biden saluted the na-
t i o n’s military veterans as “the
spine of America” on Thursday
as he marked his first Veterans
Day as president in a wreath-
laying ceremony at Arlington
National Cemetery.
“There’s nothing low risk or
low cost about war for the
women and men who fight it,”
said Biden, whose administra-
tion earlier in the day an-
nounced a federal effort to bet-
ter understand, identify and
treat medical conditions suf-
fered by troops deployed to
toxic environments.
That expanded effort cen-
ters on lung problems suffered
by troops who breathe in toxins
and the potential connection
between rare cancers and time
spent overseas breathing poor
air, according to the White
House. Federal officials plan to
start by examining lung and
breathing problems but say
they will expand the effort as
science identifies potential new
connections.
B i d e n’s son Beau served in
Iraq, and the president has
suggested a potential link be-
tween Beau’s death from an
aggressive brain cancer and
his exposure to toxins in the air,
particularly around massive
pits where the military dis-
poses of waste by burning.
There’s no scientific evidence
to establish that link.
This year’s Veterans Day
commemoration comes just
two months after Biden or-
dered the withdrawal of U.S.
troops from Afghanistan. It was
a chaotic ending to America’s
longest war, which killed 2,461
American service members
over the nearly 20-year con-
flict.
In his remarks at Arlington,
Biden praised generations who
have served, declaring they’ve
“endured and survived chal-
lenges most Americans will
never know.”
He also paused to remem-
ber three high-profile veterans
who recently died: Colin Pow-
ell, the former chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff and secre-
tary of state; Gen. Ray Odierno,
an Army chief of staff and top
general in Iraq; and Sen. Max
Cleland, a Georgia Democrat
who lost three limbs while
serving in Vietnam.
“You are the very spine of
America,” Biden said of the na-
t i o n’s veterans.
The new federal effort on
toxic exposure is designed to
make it easier for veterans to
make claims based on their
symptoms, to collect more data
from troops who are suffering
and to give veterans more time
to make medical claims after
symptoms such as asthma and
sinus problems develop.
“We ’re discovering there is
a whole host of lung conditions
related to deployment,” said
Dr. Richard Meehan, an immu-
nologist and rheumatologist.
The retired U.S. Naval Reserve
officer, who served in the
Mideast during the 1990s and
again in 2008, is co-director of
the Denver-based National
Jewish Health Center of Excel-
lence on Deployment-Related
Lung Disease.

troops as ‘spine of America’

JOHANNESBURG — F. W.
de Klerk, who shared the No-
bel Peace Prize with Nelson
Mandela and as South Africa’s
last apartheid president over-
saw the end of the country’s
white minority rule, has died
aged 85.
Frederik Willem de Klerk
died after a battle against can-
cer at his home in the Fres-
naye area of Cape Town, a
spokesman for his foundation
confirmed Thursday.
De Klerk was a controver-
sial figure in South Africa
where many blamed him for vi-
olence against Black South
Africans and anti-apartheid ac-
tivists during his time in power,
while some white South
Africans saw his efforts to end
apartheid as a betrayal.
“De Klerk’s legacy is a big
one. It is also an uneven one,
something South Africans are
called to reckon with in this
moment,” the Mandela Foun-
dation said of his death.
Retired Anglican Arch-
bishop Desmond Tutu, another
towering anti-apartheid ac-
tivist, issued a similarly
guarded statement about de
Klerk’s death.
De Klerk “played an impor-
tant role in South Africa’s his-
tory ... he recognized the mo-
ment for change and demon-
strated the will to act on it,”
said Tutu’s foundation.
However, de Klerk tried to
avoid responsibility for the
enormity of the abuses of
apartheid, including in his tes-
timony at the Truth and Rec-
onciliation Commission, which
was chaired by Tutu. At that
time, Tutu expressed disap-
pointment that de Klerk did
not fully apologize for the evils
of apartheid, the statement
noted.
Even posthumously, de
Klerk sought to address this
criticism in a video message in
which he said he was sorry for
his role in apartheid. His foun-
dation released the video after
announcing his death.
“Let me today, in the last
message repeat: I, without
qualification, apologize for the
pain and the hurt, and the in-
dignity, and the damage, to
Black, brown and Indians in
South Africa,” said a visibly
gaunt and frail de Klerk.
He said his view of
apartheid had changed since
the early 1980s.
“It was as if I had a conver-
sion. And in my heart of hearts,
I realized that apartheid was
wrong. I realized that we have
arrived at a place which was
morally unjustifiable.”
South African President
Cyril Ramaphosa said that de
Klerk “played a vital role in our
transition to democracy in the
1990s ... He took the coura-
geous decision to unban politi-
cal parties, release political
prisoners and enter into nego-
tiations with the liberation
movement amid severe pres-
sure to the contrary from
many in his political con-
s t i t u e n c y. ”
It was de Klerk who in a
speech to South Africa’s parlia-
ment on Feb. 2, 1990, an-
nounced that Mandela would
be released from prison after
27 years. The announcement
electrified a country that for
decades had been scorned and
sanctioned by much of the
world for its brutal system of
racial discrimination known as
apartheid.
With South Africa’s isola-
tion deepening and its once-
solid economy deteriorating,
de Klerk, who had been elected
president just five months ear-
lier, also announced in the
same speech the lifting of a
ban on the African National
Congress and other anti-
apartheid political groups.
