GENERAL CONDITIONS GC-24
diminish, abrogate or limit any responsibilities or obligations of a Subcontractor of any tier under
the Contract Documents or the applicable subcontract.
5.2 Award of Subcontracts and other Contracts for Portions of the Work
5.2.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents or the bidding requirements, the
Contractor, within ten (10) days after award of the Contract, shall furnish in writing to the Board
through the Engineer the names of persons or entities (including those who are to furnish materials
or equipment fabricated to a special design) proposed for each principal portion of the Work. The
Engineer will promptly reply to the Contractor in writing stating whether or not the Board or the
Engineer, after due investigation, has any objection to any such proposed person or entity.
5.2.2 The Contractor shall not contract with a proposed person or entity to whom the Board or
Engineer has made an objection, and another subcontractor shall be proposed by the Contractor.
Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall not be required to
contract with anyone to whom the Contractor has made reasonable objection supported by evidence
of sufficient grounds.
5.2.3 If the Board or Engineer has an objection to a person or entity proposed by the Contractor
pursuant to Paragraph 5.2.2, the Contractor shall propose another to whom the Board or Engineer
has no objection. The Contract Sum shall be increased or decreased by the difference in cost
occasioned by such change and an appropriate Change Order shall be issued. However, no increase
in the Contract Sum shall be allowed for such change unless the Contractor has acted promptly and
responsively in submitting names as required and the Board approves such increase by Resolution.
5.2.4 The Contractor shall not change a Subcontractor, person or entity previously selected if the
Board or Engineer makes an objection to such change.
5.3 Sub-contractual Relations
5.3.1 By appropriate agreement, written where legally required for validity, the Contractor shall
require each Subcontractor, to the extent of the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor, to be
bound to the Contractor by terms of the Contract Documents, and to assume toward the Contractor
all the obligations and responsibilities which the Contractor, by these Documents, assumes toward
the Board and Engineer. Each subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of the
Board and Engineer under the Contract Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by the
Subcontractor so that subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights, and shall allow to the
Subcontractor, unless specifically provided otherwise in the subcontract agreement, the benefit of
all rights, remedies and redress against the Contractor that the Contractor, by the Contract
Documents, has against the Board. Where appropriate, the Contractor shall require each
Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with Sub-subcontractors. The Contractor shall make
available to each proposed Subcontractor, prior to the execution of the subcontract agreement,
copies of the Contract Documents to which the Subcontractor will be bound, and, upon written
request of the Subcontractor, identify to the Subcontractor terms and conditions of the proposed
subcontract agreement which may be at variance with the Contract Documents. Subcontractors shall
similarly make copies of applicable portions of such documents available to their respective
proposed Sub-subcontractors.
