3.5 Taxes
3.5.1 The Contractor shall pay sales, consumer, use and similar taxes for the Work or portions
thereof provided by the Contractor which are legally enacted when bids are received or negotiations
concluded, whether or not yet effective or merely scheduled to go into effect.
3.6 Permits, Fees and Notices
3.6.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall secure and pay
for the building permit and other permits and governmental fees, licenses, review fees, and
inspections necessary for proper execution and completion of the Work. All connection charges,
assessments or inspection fees as may be imposed by any governmental agency or utility company
are included in the Contract Sum and shall be the Contractor's responsibility. As among separate
contractors, if any, unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Coordinating
Contractor shall secure and pay for all general permits substantially covering Work involving more
than one (1) separate contractor, regardless of whether the Coordinating Contractor's Work is subject
to that permit. The Contract Sum for the Coordinating Contractor shall be adjusted to reflect the
difference between the actual cost of such general permits involving other contractors and the cost
of such general permits based upon the published project estimates for other contractors.
3.6.2 The Contractor shall comply with and give notices required by laws, ordinances, rules,
regulations, lawful orders and all other requirements of public authorities bearing on performance
of the Work. The Contractor shall also obtain and pay all charges and costs, including repair costs,
stemming from approvals and implementation of street, alley and sidewalk closings, temporary
construction easements, parking meter removal and replacement, street sign removal and
replacement, street lighting removal and replacement, temporary fences and barricades, and all other
similar matters as may be necessary or appropriate from time to time for the performance of the
Work.
3.6.3 It is not the Contractor's responsibility to ascertain that the Contract Documents are in
accordance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, and rules and regulations.
However, if the Contractor knows or should know that portions of the Contract Documents are at
variance therewith, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Engineer and Board in writing, and
necessary changes shall be accomplished by appropriate Modification unless such laws, statutes,
ordinances, building codes, and rules and regulations bear upon the performance of the Work.
3.6.4 If the Contractor performs Work it knows or should know is contrary to laws, statutes,
ordinances, building codes, and rules and regulations without such notice to the Engineer and Board,
the Contractor shall assume full responsibility for such Work and shall bear all attributable costs
including, but not limited to, attorney fees. The Contractor shall notify the Board and the Engineer,
in writing, immediately upon discovery of any violation of the Building Code in the Contract
Documents and only such notification will relieve the Contractor of responsibility under this
Subparagraph 3.6.4 for violations inherent in the Contract Documents.
