FOR A RESIDENCE BUILDING TO BE ERECTED FOR Contract Drawings. Time drawings which will with this specifi cation form the basis of an agreement for the erection and completion of a residence for John Doe, to be erected at the corner of A Avenue and B Street, are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, to a scale of + inch to the foot; and details, 20, 21, 22, 23, to a scale of 1 . inches, and all materials and work necessary to complete the structure indicated, are to be furnished and (lone by the Contractor.
Detail Drawings. Full-sized details and models will be furnished as the work progresses, and no work requiring them is to be done before their delivery. In their preparation, minor modifications will be made which do not materially affect the cost of execution; and they will be delivered to the Contractor within the following periods after the award of the contract: those which affect the construction of exterior walls, cornice, roof, or internal framing, six weeks; those for interior finish, four months; those for carving on material in place, six months.
Changes. No alterations shall be made involving change in cost, unless ordered by the Architect in writing, setting forth fully the nature and extent of the change, the terms and conditions under which it is to be made, to which the assent of both Owner and Con tractor is to be attached.
The Architect will, during the progress of the work, give oral directions relative thereto; but such directions will never be considered as authorizing changes.
Accepted and Rejected Materials. The decision of the Architect will be final relative to the work or materials furnished, and that rejected is to be removed promptly from the site. It will be under stood, however, that every item furnished in place in the building which is covered by a payment, is considered as accepted, and will not be later rejected unless defects develop which were not visible prior to the payment; and when, for such cause, material is rejected, the entire expense incident to replacing the material is to be borne by the Contractor.
Responsibility of Contractor. The Contractor is to be entirely responsible for producing the finished work in place; and in carrying it out, he is to furnish all tools and temporary appliances to accom plish the contract requirements, and also heat, so that after the first plaster coat is begun no part of the building shall be allowed to have a temperature lower than 40° F. If plastering is done in hot, dry weather, he is to protect the building with such temporary closures as will prevent injury from too rapid evaporation. IIe is to be responsible for the protection, not only of all material delivered on the site, but also of all materials in place, until the final accept ance of the building as evidenced by the final payment on the contract and the delivery of the structure to the Owner. As this responsi bility extends to loss by fire, he is to keep the building fully insured in Stock Insurance Companies, the loss, if any, payable to the owner as his interest may appear; and the total amount of such insurance shall never be less than a sum 20 per cent higher than the total amount of the payments made; and prior to each payment, the Contractor shall deliver to the Owner such policies. The Contractor shall, if required by the Owner four days prior to the time any payment is due, produce evidence satisfactory to the Owner that such settle ments have been made as will clear the premises from the liability of liens on account of either labor or materials furnished; and in case the Contractor fails to produce such evidence, the Owner is not under any obligations to make the payment until his demand is complied with. If the demand is not made by the Owner four days prior to the day any payment is due, the Contractor will not be obliged to furnish evidence for the payment then coming due; but the right to demand the evidence before any subsequent payment is made will continue to exist, so that the Owner may demand such evidence prior to any future payment.
