CONTRACTOR REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. 4.1.1. The Contractor shall carefully study and compare the Contract Documents with information furnished by the District pursuant to the Contract Documents and shall at once report to the Architect any errors, inconsistencies or omissions discovered by issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to the Architect. If the Contractor performs any Work that the Contractor knows, or with reasonable diligence should know, involves an error, inconsistency or omission in the Contract Documents without prior notice to the Architect, the Contractor shall assume full responsibility for such performance and bear all attributable costs for correction of the same.
4.1.2. If at any time the Contractor encounters any condition which the Contractor believes, in good faith and with reasonable basis, is the result of an ambiguity, conflict, error or omission in the Contract Documents (collectively “the Conditions”), it shall be the affirmative obligation of the Contractor to timely notify the Architect, in writing via an RFI, of the Conditions encountered and to request information from the Architect necessary to address and resolve any such Conditions. The Contractor shall act with promptness in submitting any such written RFI so as to allow the Architect a reasonable period of time to review, evaluate and respond to any such request. If the Contractor submits an RFI on a schedule activity within five (5) days or less of float on the most current Project CPM schedule, the Contractor shall not be entitled to any time extension provided that the Architect responds to the RFI within the five (5) working days set forth in Article 3.1.7.
4.1.3. If the Contractor fails to timely notify the Architect in writing of any Conditions encountered and the Contractor proceeds to perform any portion of the Work containing or affected by such Conditions, the Contractor shall bear all costs associated with or required to correct, remove, or otherwise remedy any portion of the Work affected thereby without adjustment of the Contract Time or the Contract Price.
4.1.4. The Architect's responses to any such Contractor RFI shall conform to the standards and time frame set forth in Article 3.1.7 of these General Conditions. A response to an RFI is not an authorization to proceed with any Work that the Contractor considers to be an impact to the time or cost of the Work. Changes to the Contract Time or the Guaranteed Maximum Price shall be governed by the provisions of Article 10.1
CONTRACTOR REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. Before commencing any work, CONTRACTOR shall carefully study and compare all the Contract Documents, Plans and Specifications and shall check and verify pertinent figures therein and all applicable quantities to determine if there are any conflicts, errors, discrepancies or any other reasons why the project can or should not be constructed as shown therein. If CONTRACTOR finds a conflict, error or discrepancy in the Contract Documents, or between the Contract Documents and the physical conditions at the site of the Work or in any survey, or any other reason why the project can or should not be constructed as shown, CONTRACTOR shall report it to CITY REP in writing at once and before proceeding with the Work. The CITY REP on receipt of any such notice, will promptly investigate the circumstances and give appropriate instructions to the CONTRACTOR or make appropriate modifications to the Contract Documents. In the event such conflicts, errors, discrepancies or other reasons why the project can or should not be constructed as shown on such Contract Document, are later found to exist which the CONTRACTOR discovered and failed to inform CITY REP, then CONTRACTOR shall bear all cost of correction of the work performed.
