Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 44, November 1, 2024

Section 43 - Duties of the Contractor

(a) Responsibilities. It is the duty of the contractor to complete the work covered by his or her contract in accordance with the approved plans and specifications therefor. The contractor in no way is relieved of any responsibility by the activities of the architect, engineer, inspector or the office in the performance of their duties.

(b) Performance of the work. The contractor shall study carefully the approved plans and specifications and shall plan his schedule of operations well ahead of time. If at any time it is discovered that work is being done which is not in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, the contractor shall correct the work immediately.

All inconsistencies or items which appear to be in error in the plans and specifications shall be promptly called to the attention of the architect or registered engineer, through the inspector, for interpretation or correction. Local conditions which may affect the structure shall likewise be brought to the architect's or structural engineer's attention at once. In no case, however, shall the instruction of the architect or registered engineer be construed to cause work to be done which is not in conformity with the approved plans, specifications, and change orders.

The contractor shall not carry on work except with the knowledge of the inspector.

(c) Verified Reports. The contractor shall make and submit to the office from time to time, verified reports as required in Section 36.

If work on the building is being done by independent contractors, having contracts with the school board, verified reports shall be submitted by each contractor regardless of the type of work involved.
