2.3 Partial Occupancy or Use
2.3.1 District's Right to Partial Occupancy. The District may occupy or use any completed or partially
completed portion of the Work, provided that the District and the Contractor have accepted, in writing, the
responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments, retainage, if any, security, maintenance, utilities,
damage to the Work, insurance and the period for correction of the Work and commencement of warranties
required by the Contract Documents for such portion of the Work partially used or occupied by the District.
If the Contractor and the District are unable to agree upon the matters set forth above, the District may
nevertheless use or occupy any portion of the Work, with the responsibility for such matters subject to
resolution in accordance with the Contract Documents. Immediately prior to such partial occupancy or use
of the Work, or portions thereof, the District, the District's Inspector, the Contractor and the Architect shall
jointly inspect the portions of the Work to be occupied or to be used to determine and record the condition
of the Work. The District’s use or occupancy of the Work or portions thereof pursuant to the preceding
shall not be deemed “completion” of the Work as that term is used in Public Contract Code §7107.
2.3.2 No Acceptance of Defective or Nonconforming Work. Unless otherwise expressly agreed upon
by the District and the Contractor, the District's partial occupancy or use of the Work or any portion thereof,
shall not constitute the District's acceptance of the Work not complying with the requirements of the
Contract Documents or which is otherwise defective.
2.4 The District's Inspector. In addition to the authority and rights of the District's Inspector as provided for
elsewhere in the Contract Documents, all of the Work shall be performed under the observation of the District's
Inspector in accordance with the provisions of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. The District's
Inspector shall have access to all parts of the Work at any time, wherever located, including shop inspections, and
whether partially or completely fabricated, manufactured, furnished or installed. The performance of the duties of
the District's Inspector under the Contract Documents shall not relieve or limit the Contractor's performance of its
obligations under the Contract Documents.

3.1.1 Administration of Contract. The Architect will provide administration of the Contract as described

Work. The Architect shall have the responsibilities and powers established by law, including Title 24 of the
California Code of Regulations.
3.1.2 Periodic Site Inspections. The Architect will visit the Site at intervals appropriate to the stage of
construction to become generally familiar with the progress and quality of the completed Work and to

completed, will be in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Architect will not be required to make
exhaustive or continuous Site inspections to check quality or quantity of the Work. On the basis of Site
observations as an architect, the Architect will keep the District informed of the progress of the Work, and
will endeavor to guard the District against defects and deficiencies in the Work.
3.1.3 Contractor Responsibility for Construction Means, Methods and Sequences. The Architect
will not have control over or charge of and will not be responsible for construction means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work,
these being solely the Contractor's responsibility. The Architect will not have control over or charge of and
will not be responsible for acts or omissions of the Contractor, Subcontractors, or their agents or
employees, or of any other persons performing portions of the Work.
