Preliminary Examination 24.1 The Purchaser will examine the bids to determine whether they are complete, whether any computational errors have been made, whether required sureties have been furnished, whether the documents have been properly signed, and whether the bids are generally in order. 24.2 Arithmetical errors will be rectified on the following basis. If there is a discrepancy between the unit price and the total price that is obtained by multiplying the unit price and quantity, the unit price shall prevail, and the total price shall be corrected. If the Supplier does not accept the correction of the errors, its bid will be rejected, and its bid security may be forfeited. If there is a discrepancy between words and figures, the amount in words will prevail. 24.3 The Purchaser may waive any minor informality, nonconformity, or irregularity in a bid which does not constitute a material deviation, provided such waiver does not prejudice or affect the relative ranking of any Bidder. 24.4 Prior to the detailed evaluation, pursuant to ITB Clause 25 the Purchaser will determine the substantial responsiveness of each bid to the bidding documents. For purposes of these Clauses, a substantially responsive bid is one which conforms to all the terms and conditions of the bidding documents without material deviations. Deviations from, or objections or reservations to critical provisions, such as those concerning Bid Security (ITB Clause 15), Applicable Law (GCC Clause 30), and Taxes and Duties (GCC Clause 32), will be deemed to be a material deviation. The Purchaser’s determination of a bid’s responsiveness is to be based on the contents of the bid itself without recourse to extrinsic evidence.

The Plans, Drawings and Specifications for the entire Project shall be so prepared that same will call for the construction of the building and related facilities, together with its built-in permanent fixtures and equipment which will cost not more than the Guaranteed Maximum Price accepted by Owner, or the Amount Available for the Construction Contract established by Owner if no Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal has been accepted by Owner. The Architect/Engineer will be responsible for managing the design to stay within such Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal or Amount Available for the Construction Contract. The Architect/Engineer shall review the Construction Documents as they are being prepared at intervals appropriate to the progress of the Project with the Owner and Construction Manager at the Project site or other location specified by Owner in the State of Texas. The Architect/Engineer shall utilize the model(s) to support the review process during Construction Documents. The Architect/Engineer shall provide the Construction Manager with a compact disc containing documents and data files derived from the model to assist the Construction Manager in fulfilling its responsibilities to the Owner.
1.4.2 As a part of Construction Documents Phase, Architect/Engineer shall accomplish model coordination, aggregation and “clash detection” to remove conflicts in design between systems, structures and components. Architect/Engineer shall demonstrate and provide written assurance to Owner that all conflicts/collisions between models have been resolved.
1.4.3 The Architect/Engineer shall consult with the Owner and Construction Manager on matters such as construction phasing and scheduling, bid or proposal alternates, liquidated damages, the construction contract time period, and other construction issues appropriate for the Project. The Architect/Engineer shall assist the Owner and Construction Manager in the preparation of the necessary bidding information, bidding forms, RFP information, and RFP forms, and the Conditions of the Contract.
1.4.4 The Architect/Engineer shall assist the Owner in connection with the Owner’s responsibility and procedures for obtaining approval of all building and accessibility authorities having jurisdiction over the Project.
1.4.5 The Architect/Engineer shall provide coordination and inclusion of sequence of operations for all operable systems in the facility as defined by Owner during Design Development.
1.4.6 The Architect/Engineer shall review the Estimated Construction Cost prepared by the Construction Manager, and shall provide written comments.
1.4.7 The Architect/Engineer shall participate in a final review of the Construction Documents and model(s) with the Owner and Construction Manager at the Project location or other location specified by Owner in the State of Texas. Prior to the Owner’s approval of the Construction Documents, the Architect/Engineer shall incorporate such changes as are necessary to satisfy the Owner’s review comments.
1.4.8 Before proceeding into the Bidding and Proposal Phase, the Architect/Engineer shall obtain Owner’s written acceptance of the Construction Documents and approval of the Final Amount Available for the Construction Contract as approved by the Board of Regents.

Preliminary Matters 3.1. At least five (5) days prior to the pre-construction meeting described in Section 3.2, Contractor shall submit to Consultant for Consultant’s review and acceptance:
3.1.1. A progress schedule in the indicated form: Bar Chart Modified Critical Path Method (“CPM”) CPM Computerized CPM (CPM is interpreted to be generally as outlined in the Association of General Contractors (“AGC”) publication, “The Use of CPM in Construction.”) The progress schedule shall indicate the start and completion dates of the various stages of the Work, and shall show an activity network for the planning and execution of the Work. Included with the progress schedule shall be a narrative description of the progress schedule. The progress schedule must be updated monthly by Contractor, submitted as part of each Application for Payment, and must be acceptable to Consultant.
3.1.2. A preliminary schedule of Shop Drawing submissions; and
3.1.3. In a lump sum contract or in a contract that includes lump sum bid items of Work, a preliminary schedule of values for all of the Work that includes quantities and prices of items aggregating the Contract Price and that subdivides the Work into component parts in sufficient detail to serve as the basis for progress payments during construction. Such prices will include a breakdown of labor, equipment, materials, and an appropriate amount of overhead and profit applicable to each item of Work, which amounts Contractor must confirm in writing at the time of submission. In addition, after award but prior to the submission of the progress schedule, Consultant, Contract Administrator, and Contractor shall meet with all utility owners and secure from them a schedule of utility relocation; provided, however, that neither Consultant nor Town shall be responsible for the nonperformance by the utility owners.
3.2. At a time specified by Consultant, but before Contractor starts the Work at the Project site, a conference attended by Contractor, Consultant, and others as deemed appropriate by Contract Administrator, will be held to discuss the schedules referred to in Section 3.1; to discuss procedures for handling Shop Drawings and other submittals and for processing Applications for Payment; and to establish a working understanding among the Parties as to the Work.
3.3. Within thirty-five (35) days from the Project Initiation Date set forth in the applicable Notice to Proceed, a conference attended by Contractor, Consultant, and others, as appropriate, will be held to finalize the schedules submitted in accordance with Section 3.1. Within forty-five

Preliminary Title Report (a) Not later than four (4) business days after the date of this Agreement, Seller, with Buyer's assistance and cooperation as necessary, shall arrange for the Title Company to prepare and deliver to Buyer a preliminary title report (the "Title Report") covering the Real Property dated not earlier than the date of this Agreement, such report showing all matters of record and all items which would be shown as exceptions on a ALTA owner's policy of title insurance, together with a recent ALTA survey of the Real Property certified by a licensed land surveyor and a legible copy of each recorded document underlying any exceptions shown in the Title Report. Subject only to the following permitted exceptions (the "Permitted Exceptions"), Seller shall cause all exceptions to title to the Real Property set forth in such Title Report to be removed prior to the Closing: (1) the standard printed exceptions contained in the Title Company's form of Owner's Policy; (2) building restrictions and zoning regulations heretofore or hereafter adopted by any municipal or other public authority relating to the Property; (3) current property taxes not yet delinquent; (4) the exceptions approved by Buyer in accordance with Section 5.13(b); and (5) any exception to which Buyer, in Buyer's sole discretion, specifically and expressly consents in writing prior to the Closing. Buyer shall pay all fees and costs associated with obtaining the Title Report.
(b) Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Los Angeles time) on the fifth (5th) calendar day following Buyer's receipt of the Title Report to disapprove, in Buyer's sole discretion, any matters set forth in the Title Report; provided, however, that Buyer may not disapprove of the exceptions described in items (1), (2) and (3) of Section 5.13(a). If Buyer timely disapproves of any matters set forth in the Title Report, other than with respect to the exceptions described in items (1), (2) and (3) of Section 5.13(a), Seller shall have three (3) business days to indicate in writing whether Seller will cause such disapproved matters to be removed as exceptions to title prior to or concurrently with the Closing.
