Construction, Alterations or Repairs to Premises. 1. Contractor shall not make or permit anyone to undertake any construction or make any alterations, additions or improvements, structural or otherwise, or install any Fixed Improvements or Operating Equipment (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Alterations"), in or to the Premises without the prior written consent of the Contracting Officer. Prior to the commencement of work on any Alterations, the Contracting Officer's written approval must be obtained as to comprehensive plans and specifications showing all the proposed Alterations, including detailed descriptions of the effect of the proposed Alterations on the mechanical and electrical systems of the building in which the Premises are located and the compatibility of the Alterations with the design and general character of the Airport and the area in which the Premises are located. The Authority shall have the right to stop such work if the Authority or its designated agent determines that such work is not being done in a workmanlike manner or in accordance with the plans and specifications provided to the Authority. In such event, the Contractor shall promptly correct the problem that gave rise to the work stoppage. If the Contractor fails to do so within a time period determined by the Authority to be reasonable, then the Authority may, at its sole option, and at Contractor's expense, correct such problem(s), and complete the Alterations. 2. Said Alterations shall in all respects comply with the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code, the Authority's Design Manual; Authority regulations and directives; Federal Aviation Administration regulations, orders and advisory circulars; federal and state environmental regulations; the Authority's Construction Safety Manual; Authority insurance requirements; Virginia Occupational Safety and Health standards; applicable food and beverage codes and other health regulations (Arlington, Fairfax or Loudoun County, U.S. Public Health Service); and any other applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. All construction, alterations or repairs to the Premises shall also be required to meet any other standards specifically referenced or stated elsewhere in this Contract. 3. Within a reasonable time after this Contract has been fully executed, the Contractor shall apply to the appropriate authorities for any permits that may be required in connection with the Alterations to be done by the Contractor pursuant to this Contract. The time in which the Contractor is required to comply with this subparagraph shall take into account the time needed to develop and obtain the Contracting Officer's approval of plans, drawings and specifications.
