K. ACCEPTANCE OF OTHER CONTRACTOR'S WORK

any other Contractor, the Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to Owner any defects
in such work that render it unsuitable for such proper execution and results. His failure to
inspect and report shall constitute an acceptance of the other Contractor's work as fit and
proper for the reception of his work, except as to defects which may develop in the other
Contractor's work after the execution of his work..
L. MATERIALS AND SUBSTITUTIONS
1. Wherever any particular brand of material is specified, either on Drawings or Specifications,
the same is to be regarded as a standard. If any other article of equal merit is proposed by
Contractor, he must obtain owner's prior approval in writing. Where specifications list several
Manufacturers of like materials, only those manufacturers' products are acceptable. If
Contractor desires to use any other, written approval shall be obtained from Owner before
accepting quotations or Purchasing materials manufactured by firms not specified. If
Contractor purchases materials manufactured or fabricated by firms that are not listed in
specifications, they do so at their own risk. No item other than specified will be considered if
brought to site without previous written permission. All materials of special make where called
for shall be furnished with all accessories necessary for proper installation as per
manufacturer's recommendations and specifications.

be new. Both workmanship and materials shall be of the best quality for their respective
trades. Each Contractor shall be responsible for the satisfactory completion of all work under
contract to him.

as a part of the work or required in order that various portions of building are completed in
accordance with good construction and engineering practice. These are to be provided even
though such items may not be specifically described or indicated, but are necessary to
complete property the installation of the work. Each Contractor shall submit, without extra
charge, evidence (satisfactory to Owner) that each item of material furnished under his
contract fulfills the requirements of the specifications for such materials.

a recycled content or are available from a regional source.

observed, whether before or after the same shall have been brought into the structure, the
Contractor shall, upon notice from the Owner, cause the same to be removed and good and
proper material or work substituted therefore without delay. In the event the Contractor
defaults in promptly handling the foregoing and after receipt of written notice by Owner of
such default, Owner may resort to such other means as may be deemed necessary to
correct such imperfections as described above. The cost of correcting these imperfections or
such alterations shall be charged to the Contractor and the amount therefore deducted from
the sum due to or recoverable from him under this contract.

Drawings, Specifications and contract, an equitable deduction from the contract price or
refund to Owner shall be made therefore.
