Owner will then elect, in its sole discretion, whether or not to implement such measures in connection with the Work. 7.3.2 Timely review designs with Owner and Architect, including, but not limited to, to the extent applicable, architectural designs, structural, HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, power and lighting, security systems and communications, interior designs, and vertical transportation to assure compliance with the Guaranteed Maximum Price, Guaranteed Maximum Price Premises and Assumptions, and Project requirements. Advise on the Site use and improvements, selection of materials, Project and Site systems and equipment, improvements to the Project and Site, call and security systems, and methods of Project delivery. Provide recommendations on relative feasibility of construction methods, availability of materials and labor, time requirements for procurement, installation and construction, integration into existing Project and Site systems, and factors related to cost including, but not limited to, costs of alternative designs or materials, preliminary budgets and possible economics. 7.3.3 Advise Owner in writing promptly upon discovery if, in the judgment of Contractor, the issuance of architectural or engineering documents does not meet schedule requirements or if the information provided on such documents is inadequate for the current purposes intended or if requirements of such documents conflict with other documents issued or with existing conditions on the Site. In any such event, Contractor will issue a Request for Information ("RFI") to the Architect (with a copy to Owner). 7.3.4 Review the Contract Documents, as the same are being prepared and check the same for (a) obvious conflicts, discrepancies and omissions, and (b) variations from customary construction practices and methods which, in the opinion of Contractor, may cause difficulties or occasion delay in the performance of the Work and timely advise Owner and the Architect promptly, in writing, of any such observed problems.

More specifically, while Drawings and Specifications are complete for certain portions of Work, the design process will continue for other portions during construction based on the Guaranteed Maximum Price Premises and Assumptions. Contractor has been, and will continue to be, an active participant in the design process. Given such participation, Contractor represents that it is familiar with the scope and quality of those aspects of the Project which have not yet been fully designed, and has taken such scope and quality matters into consideration in preparing each component of the Guaranteed Maximum Price based on the Guaranteed Maximum Price Premises and Assumptions.

Once the Drawings and Specifications are complete, it is recognized by both parties that the scope of the Guaranteed Maximum Price may include Work not expressly indicated on the Contract Documents, but which is reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents, and such Work shall be performed without any increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price or extension of Contract Time, except if and to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. 7.3.6 Assist Owner and/or Architect as they may request in the bidding preparation process and solicitation and requests for bids and review of bids received.
