He shall contact all public utilities involved and have their representative locate their pipes, conduits, cables or other facilities before construction is started. The Owner and the Landscape Architect do not assume responsibility for location or disturbance of utilities or other existing features or conditions encountered on this project. Any replacement or relocation cost shall be the Contractor's responsibility, unless otherwise specified. B. OWNER, CONTRACTOR & LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT RELATIONSHIP: 1. Access to Work: It shall be the obligation of the Contractor to provide proper facilities to permit the Owner and his representative to observe the work during any stage of the construction. 2. Landscape Architect's Responsibility & Authority: All work shall be done subject to the approval of the Landscape Architect. All decisions and questions which may arise as to the quality or acceptability of materials furnished, work performed, progress of the work, interpretation of drawings and specifications, and all questions as to acceptable fulfillment of the Agreement by the Contractor shall be made by the Landscape Architect. The Landscape Architect reserves the right to reject and require the replacement of any sub -contractor selected by the Contractor or to require the Contractor to terminate the services of any sub -contractor whose performance is deemed inadequate and detrimental to the job as a whole. Employment of subsequent sub -contractors shall be subject to approval by the Landscape Architect. All claims of the Contractor or the Owner shall be made to the Landscape Architect for decision.

Separate Contracts: The Owner reserves the right to let other contracts in connection with the work under the Agreement. The Contractor shall provide reasonable access and opportunity for the other contractors to do their work and shall fit, connect and coordinate his work with theirs so as not to cause them or him any undue delay or impediment to the prompt and proper performance and completion of the work by each. 4. Owners Right to do Work: The Owner, without prejudice to any other right or remedy he may have, shall have the right to prosecute the work in the event the Contractor fails to perform the work properly or fails to perform any provisions of the agreement. A prerequisite of such action by the Owner shall be three days written notice to the Contractor and approval of such action by the Landscape Architect. The amount charged the Contractor for making good such deficiencies shall be approved by the Landscape Architect and may be deducted from payments then or thereafter due the Contractor. 5. Owner's Right to Terminate Contract: In the event of any default by the Contractor, the Owner, without prejudice to any other right or remedy he may have, shall have the right to terminate the employment of the Contractor after giving the Contractor seven days written notice.

Upon termination, the Owner may take possession of the premises and of all materials, tools, equipment and appliances thereon and finish the work by whatever method he may deem expedient. In such case, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the work is finished. In case the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work including compensation for additional landscape architectural, matnagerial, and administrative services, is less than that which would have been the cost to the Owner had the work been completed by the Contractor under the terms of the Agreement, the excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such expense exceeds the unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay to the Owner the difference, as certified by the Landscape Architect. 6. Contractor's Right to Stop Work or Terminate Contract: Upon the occurrence of any of the situations enumerated hereunder, the Contractor shall have the right to terminate the Agreement and recover from the Owner payment for all work executed including any proven loss sustained upon any equipment or materials and reasonable profit and damages, provided that seven day written notice is given to the Owner and the Landscape Architect: a) If the work should be stopped under order of any court or other public authority for a period of thirty days through no fault of the Contractor or of anyone employed by him. b) If the Landscape Architect should fail to issue any Certificate of Payment, through no fault of the Contractor, within seven days after formal request by the Contractor for payment. c) If the Owner should fail to pay the Contractor within the payment period specified in the agreement or within seven days after a Board of Arbitration has made an award. 7. Correction of Work: All work and materials condemned by the Landscape Architect as failing to comply with the Contract Documents shall be promptly removed, replaced, and/or re -executed by the Contractor to bring it into compliance with the requirements. This shall be done at the expense of the Contractor without cost to the Owner and shall include making good all work of other contractors destroyed or damaged by such removal or replacement. 8. Liens: Before final payment is made, the Contractor shall fumish the Owner with a full release of liens signed by all sub -contractors and material suppliers associated in any way with the work. These liens shall be accompanied by a notarized affidavit (swom statement) to the effect that all claims of any character pertaining to the performance of the Contract, including sub -contractors, material suppliers and labor have been paid in full and that the acceptance of final payment is acknowledged as a release of the Owner from any and all claims arising under or by virtue of the Agreement. C. INSURANCE AND PROTECTION: The Contractor shall secure and maintain insurance coverages, in the amounts required and/or stipulated in the Special Provisions of the Agreement, protecting him from claims under workmen's Compensation and Employer's Liability Insurance as required by law, Public Liability, Bodily Injury including death, and Property Damage which may arise in the course of carrying out the work under the Agreement. Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with the Owner and the Landscape Architect before commencing any of the work under this Agreement. The Contractor shall adequately protect the work, adjacent property and the public and shall be responsible for any damage or injury due to his act or neglect. The Contractor shall save harmless the Owner from and against any and all losses and/or claims brought or recovered against the Contractor or his sub -contractors by reason of any error, omission or act of the Contractor, his agents or employees in the execution of the work or the guarding of it.
