<br />ARTICLE 5 SUBCONTRACTORS
<br />§ 5.1 DEFINITIONS
<br />§ 5.1.1 A Subcontractor is a person or entity who has a direct contract with the Contractor to perform a portion of the
<br />Work at the site. The term "Subcontractor" is referred to throughout the Contract Documents as if singular in
<br />number and means a Subcontractor or an authorized representative of the Subcontractor. The term "Subcontractor"
<br />does not include a separate contractor or subcontractors of a separate contractor.
<br />§ 5.1.2 A Sub -subcontractor is a person or entity who has a direct or indirect contract with a Subcontractor to
<br />perform a portion of the Work at the site. The term "Sub -subcontractor" is referred to throughout the Contract
<br />Documents as if singular in number and means a Sub -subcontractor or an authorized representative of the Sub -
<br />subcontractor.
<br />§ 5.2 AWARD OF SUBCONTRACTS AND OTHER CONTRACTS FOR PORTIONS OF THE WORK
<br />§ 5.2.1 Unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents or the bidding requirements, the Contractor, as soon as
<br />practicable after award of the Contract, shall furnish in writing to the Owner through the Architect the names of
<br />persons or entities (including those who are to furnish materials or equipment fabricated to a special design)
<br />proposed for each principal portion of the Work. The Architect may reply within 14 days to the Contractor in
<br />writing stating (1) whether the Owner or the Architect has reasonable objection to any such proposed person or
<br />entity or (2) that the Architect requires additional time for review. Failure of the Owner or Architect to reply within
<br />the 14 -day period shall constitute notice of no reasonable objection.
<br />§ 5.2.2 The Contractor shall not contract with a proposed person or entity to whom the Owner or Architect has made
<br />reasonable and timely objection. The Contractor shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the
<br />Contractor has made reasonable objection.
<br />§ 5.2.3 If the Owner or Architect has reasonable objection to a person or entity proposed by the Contractor, the
<br />Contractor shall propose another to whom the Owner or Architect has no reasonable objection. If the proposed but
<br />rejected Subcontractor was reasonably capable of performing the Work, the Contract Sum and Contract Time shall
<br />be increased or decreased by the difference, if any, occasioned by such change, and an appropriate Change Order
<br />shall be issued before commencement of the substitute Subcontractor's Work. However, no increase in the Contract
<br />Sum or Contract Time shall be allowed for such change unless the Contractor has acted promptly and responsively
<br />in submitting names as required.
<br />§ 5.2.4 The Contractor shall not substitute a Subcontractor, person or entity previously selected if the Owner or
<br />Architect makes reasonable objection to such substitution.
<br />§ 5.3 SUBCONTRACTUAL RELATIONS
<br />By appropriate agreement, written where legally required for validity, the Contractor shall require each
<br />Subcontractor, to the extent of the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor, to be bound to the Contractor by
<br />terms of the Contract Documents, and to assume toward the Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities,
<br />including the responsibility for safety of the Subcontractor's Work, which the Contractor, by these Documents,
<br />assumes toward the Owner and Architect. Each subcontract agreement shall preserve and protect the rights of the
<br />Owner and Architect under the Contract Documents with respect to the Work to be performed by the Subcontractor
<br />so that subcontracting thereof will not prejudice such rights, and shall allow to the Subcontractor, unless specifically
<br />provided otherwise in the subcontract agreement, the benefit of all rights, remedies and redress against the
<br />Contractor that the Contractor, by the Contract Documents, has against the Owner. Where appropriate, the
<br />Contractor shall require each Subcontractor to enter into similar agreements with Sub -subcontractors. The
<br />Contractor shall make available to each proposed Subcontractor, prior to the execution of the subcontract agreement,
<br />copies of the Contract Documents to which the Subcontractor will be bound, and, upon written request of the
<br />Subcontractor, identify to the Subcontractor terms and conditions of the proposed subcontract agreement that may
