RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. The Contractor shall be entirely responsible for constructing and providing what is required for the Work under the Contract Documents. Once approved by the Construction Manager in writing, the Contractor shall make no changes in the Contract Documents without the prior written consent of the Owner or Construction Manager on behalf of the Owner. If the Contractor, either before commencing or in the course of performing the Work, finds (1) that the Drawings and Specifications are at variance with one another, (2) that the Work has not been sufficiently detailed or explained in the Drawings and Specifications, (3) any discrepancy between the Drawings and/or Specifications, and the physical conditions on the Project Site, or (4) any error, omission or discrepancy in any of the Drawings or Specifications or in any survey, or a misunderstanding arises regarding the real meaning of the Drawings and Specifications, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Construction Manager in writing of such variance, insufficiency, discrepancy, error, omission or misunderstanding. If the Contractor observes or has knowledge that any portion of the Drawings and/or Specifications is at variance with any applicable law, ordinance, regulation, order or decree, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Construction Manager. If the Contractor observes or has knowledge that there is any error, omission or discrepancy in work done by others affecting the Work, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Construction Manager in writing of such error, omission or discrepancy. The Construction Manager, upon receipt of any such notice, shall have the option, but not the duty, to promptly investigate the circumstances and give appropriate written instructions to the Contractor. The Contractor shall include in any request for information or clarification from the Construction Manager the reasonable time period within which a response from the Construction Manager is required in order for the Contractor to meet the requirements of the Overall Construction Schedule and the Short Interval Schedule (as such terms are hereinafter defined). However, nothing contained in the foregoing shall relieve the Contractor from its obligations and responsibilities under the Contract Documents, including without limitation, Paragraph 2(c) above.
