DRAFTING & DESIGN DIVISION STANDARD CONTRACT TERMS

1. Herman L. Sigmond Company and its employees are hereinafter referred to as "HLS".

2. All work shall be performed pursuant to HLS established standard detailing procedures, and shall comply with our client's instructions.

3. If this project is undertaken on a lump sum basis utilizing structural plans and specifications that are not complete according to the provisions of SECTION 3 of the CODE of STANDARD PRACTICE for BUILDINGS and BRIDGES of the AMERICAN INSTITUTE of STEEL CONSTRUCTION (adopted most recently), all work required of HLS to complete the subject plans and/or specifications is not included in our base contract and, therefore, such additional work shall be subject to additional cost.

4. HLS shall not be responsible for information appearing and/or referenced on documents other than the structural plans and specifications, unless such information is clearly and specifically referenced by page number on the structural plans. This includes provisions for the work of other contractors and/or other trades.

5. HLS shall not be responsible or liable, to any degree, for errors that may occur as a result of any errors, inconsistencies, and/or ambiguities existing in the contract plans and specifications, which are not specifically called to our attention before our drawings are completed.

6. HLS shall not be bound to schedules and/or completion dates to which HLS has not previously agreed in writing. HLS shall not be responsible or liable for delays in scheduled completion dates that may occur as a direct result of revisions, additions, or any other circumstances beyond the immediate control of HLS.

7. Progress billings shall be submitted semi-monthly. Payments in full are due upon receipt of HLS invoices. Payments on HLS invoices are not subject to retainage and/or back charges. All work is undertaken with this clear mutual understanding and agreement. Service charges may be applied to invoices not paid within thirty days of the date thereof.

8. All additional work required as a result of revisions to contract drawings, revisions noted on returned HLS approval drawings, and/or revisions in any other form including verbal instructions, may be subject to additional cost. A revision is defined as any work required of HLS which is not consistent with information shown on the original contract bid documents, which information forms the basis of lump sum contracts. All such additional work and costs shall be proposed either verbally or in writing. Client authorization in writing is required prior to proceeding with such additional work.

9. All authorized extras shall become part of the base contract and shall be subject to the terms and conditions contained and agreed to therein.

10. Field trips, meetings, field measurements, and/or coordination between our client and other firms or individuals are services not included in a lump sum contract. These services are available upon request and at additional cost.

11. Client is requested to instruct all vendors, including but not limited to joist and deck suppliers, to coordinate their work with HLS prior to preparing and submitting their drawings. Revisions required to completed work by HLS, as a direct result of the absence of such coordination, may be subject to additional costs.
