Modifications and Additions: 1. Changes to the General Conditions by the Supplementary Conditions require review and approval by the Office of the President before the document is issued to Bidders. 2. Areas shaded in gray, without brackets, represent suggested text that may be modified by the Facility to meet the needs of the Project. This is an example of the format. Ensure that any modified or added text is consistent with the Contract Documents. 3. Areas not highlighted in gray, without brackets, shall not be altered without approval of the Office of the President. 4. Articles, New. Adding a new condition to the General Conditions requires that a new article be added to the Supplementary Conditions. The new article must reference the appropriate General Conditions article and describe the change. 5. Non-compensable Time Extension for Weather. The risk to the project for inclement weather is one of the many risks that is addressed in the University contract. The contract now allocates risk of delay in excess of the specified number of days of anticipated rainy days to the University rather than the Contractor, The number of days specified should not normally exceed the number of days for which rain is anticipated at the project site. This language should be used except for unique projects that cannot be delivered at a date later than the specified Contract Time, without significant hardship to the University. If you contemplate not using the language in the Supplementary Conditions for a "date sensitive" project, please consult the Office of the President. 6. Contractor’s Pollution Liability (CPL) insurance. The risk of liability to the University for hazardous material contamination can be managed by requiring the Contractor to provide evidence of insurance coverage for pollution liability and naming the University as an Additional Insured. For projects involving work with hazardous materials, e.g. asbestos abatement, a Facility should normally include such a provision. See the embedded instruction in the Supplementary Conditions. For other projects, a Facility may choose to include this provision if the construction work warrants such pollution coverage and consultation with the campus risk manager is recommended.
