Common use of REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND FIELD CONDITIONS BY CONTRACTOR Clause in Contracts

REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND FIELD CONDITIONS BY CONTRACTOR. (a) The Prime Contractor shall carefully check, study, and compare the Contract Documents with each other and shall at once report to the Architect/Engineer in writing any inconsistency, ambiguity, error, omission, conflict, or discrepancy the Prime Contractor may discover. The Prime Contractor shall also verify all dimensions, field measurements, and field conditions before laying out the Work. The Prime Contractor will be held responsible for any subsequent error, omission, conflict, or discrepancy which might have been avoided by the above-described check, study, comparison, and reporting. In the event the Prime Contractor continues to work on an item where an inconsistency, ambiguity, error, omission, conflict, or discrepancy exists without obtaining such clarification or resolution or commences an item of the Work without giving written notice of an error, omission, conflict, or discrepancy that might have been avoided by the check, study, and comparison required above, it shall be deemed that the Prime Contractor bid and intended to execute the more stringent, higher quality, or state of the art requirement, or accepted the condition “as is” in the Contract Documents, without any increase to the Contract Sum or Contract Time. The Prime Contractor shall also be responsible to correct any failure of component parts to coordinate or fit properly into final position as a result of Prime Contractor's failure to give notice of and obtain a clarification or resolution of any error, omission, conflict, or discrepancy, without any right to any increase to the Contract Sum or Contract Time.
