Common use of CHARACTER OF THE WORK Clause in Contracts

CHARACTER OF THE WORK. 12.1 Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Work must be performed in accordance with the best, modern practice, with new materials and workmanship of the highest quality, to the satisfaction of the Director. All materials required for the Work shall be new, free from all defects, of the best available grade and quality, entirely satisfactory for the purpose intended, furnished in ample quantities to prevent delays, and in accordance with all requirements of this Agreement. 12.2 In work of this character, the Construction Manager acknowledges that it is impossible either to show all details in advance or to forecast all exigencies precisely. Therefore, the Construction Manager agrees to interpret broadly the Contract Documents to indicate the amount of work, the nature of the work, and general quality of the work, and to include all items for the proper execution and completion of the Work by Construction Manager, to the extent consistent with the Contract Documents and reasonably inferable therefrom as being necessary to complete the Work shown in the Drawings and Specifications. 12.3 Where no specific requirements are given, the Work shall conform with the latest applicable standards of nationally recognized associations, which sponsor the particular type of work involved, and materials shall conform, as the case may be, with the standards of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, the Electronic Industries Association, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers, American National Standards Institute, American Society for Testing and Materials, and the National Board of Fire Underwriters. 12.4 In the event of any doubt as to the meaning of any portion of the Specifications or Contract Drawings, or in the event a standard of workmanship or material is not specified, the Agreement shall be interpreted as requiring the Construction Manager to perform the work in the best and most workmanlike manner and to supply materials of the best class. The Construction Manager shall also perform the work with the highest regard to the safety of life and property and according to the lines, levels, and directions given by the Director, and to the satisfaction of the Director, as well as any provision set forth in the specifications.
