binding as if required by all. Work called for on the Drawings and not mentioned in the Specifications, or vice
versa, shall be performed as though fully set forth in both. Nothing in this Section 1.2, however, shall relieve the
Contractor of any of its obligations under the Contract Documents. Other conflicts between or among the Contract
Documents shall be resolved under the following rules of construction:
.1 the specific shall govern over the general;
.2 specified dimensions shown on the Drawings shall govern, even though they may differ from
dimensions scaled on the Drawings, if any;
.3 Drawings of larger scale shall govern over those of smaller scale; any special Drawing details shall
govern over standard detail;
.4 Specifications shall govern over Drawings in matters of material or equipment specified; Drawings
shall govern over Specifications in matters of construction or installation detail;
.5 documents of later date shall always govern; except that the Agreement shall govern over all other
documents, regardless of their dates; and
.6 in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity between this Agreement and the Contract Documents,
the terms that requires a higher standard of performance by the Contractor shall prevail.

Work.

Drawings, shall not dictate to the Contractor in any way how the Work is to be divided among Subcontractors, or
establish the extent of Work to be performed by any trade. Similarly, the organization of the Contractor's duties into

performance or any other purpose, shall mean, unless otherwise noted, the most recent available published version

to, except as modified in the Contract Documents, shall have the same force and effect as though printed therein.
These standards will not be furnished to the Contractor, as the Contractor and all members of the construction team
are required to be familiar with their requirements.
1.6 Whenever a provision of the Contract Documents conflicts with agreements or regulations in force among
members of trade associations, unions or councils, which regulate or distinguish the portions of the Work which
shall or shall not be performed by a particular trade, the Contractor shall make necessary arrangements to reconcile
the conflict without delay, damage, cost or recourse to the Owner. Delays in the Work resulting from the failure of
the Contractor to use its best efforts to reconcile any such conflicts shall not result in an extension of the Project
Schedule and shall not result in the increase of the Contract Sum.

provide under the Agreement that are not drawn or specified in the Design but are necessary for the proper execution
