applying the percentage so that a deductive change order would be computed
in the same manner as an additive change order. In those instances where a
change involves both additive and deductive work, the additions and
deductions will be netted and the markup percentage adjustments will be
applied to the net amount

showing such renewal. Certificates and written notices shall be directed to the Office of Facilities
Contracts. The Contractor shall furnish the Owner with a certified copy of each policy including
any and all exclusions to such policy.

of insurance and a summary of coverage’s including all endorsements and exclusions prior to
commencement of the work. Once the policy is received, the Contractor shall provide a copy of
such policy to Cornell University. There shall be a mutual waiver of recovery between Cornell
University, the Contractor and all other parties to the extent such losses are covered by the builders

remain a part of the permanent construction. The Contractor and subcontractors severally waive
any rights of recovery they may have against the Owner and the Architect for damage or destruction
of their own or rented property, or property of their employees of whatever kind or nature.
Section 10.09 - Effect of Procurement of Insurance
A. Neither the procurement nor the maintenance of any type of insurance by the
Owner or the Contractor shall in any way be construed or be deemed to limit, discharge, waive or
release the Contractor from any of the obligations and risks imposed upon the Contractor by the
Contract or to be a limitation on the nature or extent of such obligations and risks.
Section 10.10 - No Third Party Rights

of this Contract and the fulfillment of all the Contractor's obligations. The Contract Price means
all costs reimbursable under the Contract Documents.
B. The final certificate of the Architect shall certify that the Contract has been
completed within the stipulated time, and shall not be issued until all drawings and specifications
have been returned to the Owner. The issuance of said certificates, however, or any payments made
thereon shall not lessen the total responsibility of the Contractor to complete the work to the
satisfaction of the Owner in accordance with the Contract.
C. Payments on the Contract Price shall be made each month as the work progresses
in accord with the following procedure:
1. The Contractor's schedule of values, including quantities, aggregating the
total Contract Price, divided so as to facilitate payments to subcontractors as
specified herein, shall be the basis for monthly progress payments. This schedule,
as shown in the E-Builder Schedule of Values Process, when approved by the
Owner shall be used as a basis for progress payments. In applying for payments,
the Contractor shall submit a statement based upon this approved schedule.
2. (a) On a date agreed upon by the Owner, Architect, and Contractor, a
meeting shall be held by the Owner to review the work completed and
materials on hand. This meeting shall review each item to be submitted
by the Contractor in the requisition for payment.
(b) On the first day of each month, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the
Contractor shall submit via the E-Builder Payment Application Process, a
statement and all applicable documentation setting forth in detail the cost
of the work done and materials delivered to the job site up to and including
the last day of the previous month and shall make application for payment
of ninety percent (90%) of the amount of said statement, less the aggregate
of all previous payments made by the Owner against the Contract Price.
(c) Each statement and application shall be accompanied by an affidavit,

correct, and that all bills for labor, and materials incorporated in or
delivered to the job, due and payable at the time of the preceding progress
payment, have been paid. The Contractor shall attach a single .pdf file of

approval of the Architect. If the Architect finds that the affidavit and application
for payment are acceptable and that all the above requirements in connection
therewith have been complied with, the Architect shall, within seven (7) calendar
days after receiving such application for payment, certify to the Owner that the
payment applied for is due and payable to the Contractor.
4. The issuance of a Certificate for Payment constitutes a representation by
the Architect to the Owner, based on the date of the Application for Payment, that
the work has progressed to the point indicated, that, to the best of their knowledge,
information, and belief, the quality of the work is in accordance with the Contract
Documents and that the Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified.
The Owner shall make payment in the manner provided in the Agreement
within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the approved Certificate in E-Builder.
Approval of the Payment Application by the Architect shall not be deemed
to represent that the Architect has made exhaustive or continuous on-site
inspections to check the quality or quantity of the work or that the Architect has
reviewed the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or proceedings
or that the Architect has made any examination to ascertain how or for what
purpose the Contractor has used the monies previously paid on account of the

Section 12.02 – Stored Materials & Equipment
A. The Contractor may submit, no more than thirty (30) calendar days after contract
approval and prior to the first application for payment, a written request to Cornell University for
permission to invoice for critical materials and equipment ready, but not yet incorporated into the
work. For the purpose of this paragraph, "critical materials and equipment" eligible for payment
are defined as those items affecting project schedule or budget as determined by Cornell
University's evaluation of the project schedule. This includes finished goods normally shipped to
the job site in a condition ready for incorporation into the work that require significant time for
delivery. Raw materials or work-in-process at a manufacturer's plant location shall not be eligible
for such consideration unless the Contractor can demonstrate that Cornell University can save
money by purchasing material in bulk quantities at the beginning of the project.
B. Cornell University will be under no obligation to accept such requests.
C. Payment authorized by Cornell University for such "long-lead" critical materials
and equipment not yet incorporated in the work will be made provided the Contractor submits

such inventory, including Contractor's certification that all quantities have
been received in good condition at the job site or other location acceptable
to Cornell University shall be submitted with the Application for Payment.
6. A copy of the vendor's invoice is included with the Contractor's invoice.
Packing lists will not be accepted.
D. Cornell University retains the right to verify storage by physical inspection prior
to payment approval and at any time thereafter. Such payment shall not relieve the Contractor of
the responsibility for protecting, safeguarding, and properly installing the equipment or materials.
The Warranty and Guarantee period shall not commence until installation and final acceptance of
the completed work by Cornell University. The Contractor shall bear the cost of transporting
materials stored off-site to the site
E. Each subsequent invoice will restate the prior months' materials and equipment
not incorporated in the Work and current month additions and deletions for materials and
equipment incorporated into the Work.
F. Upon the making of partial payment by Cornell University, all work, materials,
and equipment covered thereby shall become the sole property of Cornell University. Partial
payments, however, shall not constitute acceptance of the Contractor's work by Cornell University,
nor be construed as a waiver of any right or claim by Cornell University.
Section 12.03 – Retention
A. Retention in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the value of the work done and
materials furnished and installed under this Agreement shall be retained by the Owner as part
security for the faithful performance of the Contractor’s work within the time specified, and shall
be paid as indicated in Section 12.06.

Section 12.04 - Withholding Payments
A. The Owner may, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, withhold or
nullify the whole or a part of any Certificate to such extent as may be necessary to protect the
Owner from loss on account of:
1. Defective work not remedied.
2. To assure payment of just claims of any persons supplying labor or
materials for the work and to discharge any lien filed against the Owner's
property.
3. A reasonable doubt that the Contract can be completed for the balance of
the Contract Price then unpaid.
4. Damage to another Contractor.
5. Unsatisfactory prosecution of the work by the Contractor.

be completed or corrected. This list, prepared by the Contractor, shall constitute a complete detailed
list of defects and deficiencies which, when remedied, will complete all Contract requirements.
The submittal shall be accompanied by a statement to that effect.
B. The failure to include any items on such list does not alter the responsibility of the
Contractor to complete all work in accordance with the Contract Documents. When the Architect,
on the basis of an inspection, determines that the work is substantially complete, the Architect will
then prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion.
C. Upon receipt of written notice that the work is ready for final inspection and
acceptance, the Architect will promptly make such inspection and, when the Architect finds the
work acceptable under the provisions of the Contract Documents, and the Contract fully performed,
and if bonds have been required, the written Consent of the Surety to the payment of the balance

Contract Documents, has been submitted by the Contractor, each subcontractor and sub-
subcontractor, the Contractor will promptly issue a final Certificate for Payment, stating that to the

Dear Mr. Houseknecht:
The Asbestos & Environmental Consulting Corporation (AECC) collected bulk samples of
suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) at Malott Hall, located at 212 Garden Avenue, in
Ithaca, New York. The sampling was limited to suspect materials directly involved with the north
storefront structure replacement project, as directed by Client Representatives. Thirty (30)
asbestos bulk samples were collected by Mr. Nicholas Coulombe, a New York State
Department of Labor (NYSDOL)-certified Asbestos Building Inspector. Post collection, the bulk
samples were shipped to AmeriSci New York (AmeriSci) for laboratory analysis. The following

Table Notes:
NAD = No Asbestos Detected
Asbestos Bulk Sampling – By regulatory definition, a building material must be greater than
one percent (1%) asbestos to be considered an asbestos-containing material (ACM). The bulk
samples collected during this investigation are not considered ACMs, as determined by
laboratory analysis. A copy of the laboratory asbestos analysis report has been included in
Attachment B of this report.
OSHA Compliance – It should be noted that the Occupational Safety & Health Administration
(OSHA) Asbestos Standard (29 CFR 1926.1101) has a definition for both "asbestos" and
"asbestos-containing material." Under OSHA Asbestos Standard, the definition of asbestos
covers all materials containing any concentration of detected asbestos, including those with
concentrations less than or equal to one percent asbestos (i.e. the gray window glazing
compound and “soft” gray door caulk sampled during this survey). Although work operations
conducted in areas where a material contains less than or equal to one percent asbestos is an
"unclassified" operation, the employer still must follow the requirements of 29 CFR
1926.1101(g)(1) [except (g)(1)(i)], (g)(2) and (g)(3) that describe engineering and work practice
controls operations to prevent unnecessary asbestos exposures to their employees (i.e. worker
protection regulations).

Transmittal of Building / Structure Asbestos Survey Information – As required by New York
State Industrial Code Rule 56, copies of this report shall be immediately transmitted by the
building/ structure owner (prior to any renovation activities), as follows:
1. One (1) copy of the completed asbestos survey shall be sent by the owner or their agent
to the local entity charged with issuing a permit for such demolition, renovation,
remodeling, or repair work under state or local laws.
2. One (1) copy of completed asbestos survey shall be kept on the construction site with
the asbestos notification and variance, if required, for the duration of the asbestos
project and any associated demolition, renovation, remodeling, or repair project.
Report Notes – Prior to conducting the investigation, Cornell University and AECC personnel
discussed the scope of the project to determine what building materials were to be disturbed
during the project. Bulk samples of those building materials that were considered to be suspect
ACMs were collected and analyzed for asbestos by a New York State Department of Health
(NYSDOH) certified laboratory, as indicated in Table 1 above.
In the event that other building materials (materials not specifically identified in this or other
applicable reports) are identified during the course of renovation activities, the materials shall be
designated as presumed asbestos-containing materials (PACMs) until examined by an
appropriately trained / certified individual and laboratory analysis proves otherwise.
If you have any questions pertaining to this report, please do not hesitate to contact our
corporate office at (315) 432-9400.
