  2. Scope of the Work. The work to be performed under this Contract consists of furnishing all plant, materials, equipment, supplies, labor, and transportation, including fuel, power, and water, and performing all work in strict accordance with specifications, schedules, and drawings, all of which are made a part hereof, and including such detail drawings as may be furnished by the Architect-Engineer from time to time during the construction.
  3. Examination of Site. Bidders should visit the site of the building, compare the drawings and specifications with any work in place, and inform themselves of all conditions, including other work, if any, being performed. Failure to visit the site will in no way relieve the successful bidder from the necessity of furnishing any materials or performing any work that may be required to complete the work in accordance with drawings and specifications.
  4. Laying out Work. The Contractor shall, immediately upon entering the project site for the purpose of beginning work, locate all Owner-provided reference points and take such action as is necessary to prevent their destruction, lay out his own work and be responsible for all lines, elevations, and measurements of buildings, grading, paving, utilities, and other work executed by him under the Contract.

The time stated for completion shall include final cleanup of the premises.
    2. It is mutually agreed that the time for the commencement and completion of the work will materially affect the progress of other work and that the Owner will suffer financial damages in an amount not now possible to ascertain if this work is not completed on schedule, and in view of these facts, it is agreed that the owner will withhold from the Contractor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the sum of $100.00 per day for each calendar day that the work remains uncompleted beyond the date specified for the completion of the work.
    3. If completion of the work to be performed under the terms of this Contract is delayed by reasons of delay in the performance of any work to be performed by the Owner, or other contractors, and which is essential to the work performed under this Contract, such delay shall not constitute a basis for any claim against the Owner, but the time of performance will be extended for a period equal to such delay or as otherwise mutually agreed upon.
