March 1, 1995 If the Special Conditions, the Project Manager's instructions, laws, ordinances or any public authority require any work to be specifically tested or approved, the Contractor shall give the Project Manager timely notice of its readiness for observation by the Project Manager or inspection by another authority. If the inspection is by another authority, the Contractor shall give the Project Manager timely notice of the date of inspection and copies of certificates of inspection being secured by the Contractor. Article 19. PRIME CONTRACTOR If several Contractors propose to join together to perform the work, the Principle Representative will recognize only one bonded prime Contractor, who will enter into a contract with the Principle Representative, and who will subcontract the work to such others as are required to perform the work, unless a "joint venture" arrangement between Contractors satisfactory to the Principle Representative has been executed. In this case, the "joint venture" shall be bonded in accordance with these General Conditions and shall designate a Superintendent with whom the Principle Representative can communicate and who will supervise the work and be fully responsible for the performance of the work. Article 20. SUPERINTENDENCE OF THE WORK The Contractor shall keep a competent and reliable superintendent on the job at all times that labor is being performed. The superintendent, in the Contractor's absence from the site, shall stand in the stead of the Contractor and any authoritative directions given to the superintendent shall be as binding as if given to the Contractor. The Contractor shall give efficient supervision to the work, using his best skill and attention. He shall carefully study and compare all Drawings, Specifications and other instructions and shall at once report to the Project Manager any error, inconsistency or omission which he may discover, but he shall not be liable to the Principle Representative for any damage resulting from any errors or deficiencies in the Contract Documents or other instructions by the Project Manager. The Contractor shall see that the work is carried out in accordance with the Contract Documents and in a thorough and first-class manner in every respect. The Contractor shall establish all lines, levels, grades, and marks necessary to facilitate the operations of all concerned in such Contractor's work. He shall lay out the work in a manner satisfactory the Project Manager. Article 21. SUBCONTRACTORS The Contractor shall within ten (10) days after the date of Notice of Award, submit to the Project Manager, a complete list of subcontractors for the project, including the name of the proposed subcontractor and a description of the work to be subcontracted. The Contractor shall not, without prior written approval of the Principle Representative, enter into any subcontract covering any part of the work covered by this contract. If at any time the Principle Representative determines that any subcontractor is incompetent or undesirable, he shall notify the Contractor accordingly in writing and the Contractor shall take immediate steps for cancellation of the subcontract. Article 22. RELATIONS OF CONTRACTOR AND SUBCONTRACTOR The Contractor agrees to bind each subcontractor to the terms of these General Conditions and to the requirements of the drawings and specifications, and any amendments or change orders, and also all the other Contract Documents, so far as applicable to the work of such subcontractor, unless specially noted to the contrary. Nothing contained in the contract shall create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor and the Principle Representative. Approval by the Principle Representative to any subcontract or any provisions thereof shall not be construed to be a determination of the acceptability of any subcontract price, or of any amount paid under subcontract or to relieve the Contractor of any responsibility for performing all work covered by this contract.
