the finish to be given to the several parts. All materials furnished for incorporation in the Work must be fully equal
to the approved samples.
33. OWNER’S OPTIONS. Where the Contract Documents specify a particular type or brand of material or
equipment Contractor shall figure the price of the make or style specified. If Contractor prefers to use any substitute
article or material which Contractor believes to be equal, Contractor shall so state in its bid, giving the price to be
added to or deducted from its base bid price. The final selection will rest with Owner.
34. QUALITY OF MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP. Should any dispute arise as to the quality or
fitness of materials or workmanship, the decision as to acceptability shall rest strictly with Owner, based on the

and no extension of time will be allowed for the correcting of faulty or damaged work. It is not incumbent upon

or damaged Work within a reasonable time after notice from Owner, Owner may remove at the expense of
Contractor.

portion of it, nor signify Owner’s acceptance of the Work or any part of it.
Owner will attempt to interfere as little as possible with the Work of the trades in and about the Building, but
Contractor shall not make any claims to Owner due to such interferences.
38. MOVING MATERIALS. If it becomes necessary at any time during construction to move materials
which are to enter into the construction, or equipment which has been temporarily placed, Contractor shall, when
