Scope of Work.
Contractor, Suppliers, and Subcontractors shall build the work described in these documents exactly as shown herein. Any deviation in the work shall be submitted to the
Architect in writing. The Architect's reply in writing is a prerequisite to any deviation in the work shown in these documents. Changes in the Work, not approved in writing by the Architect

issues concerning the accessibility of any portion of the building, either inside or outside the building, to any person with any type of physical handicap, or any other disability
or condition that could be interpreted as requiring special physical building or site provisions. The Architect will not be responsible for any subjective, contradictory, or other divergent
or special-interest interpretations of the terms “accessibility” “handicapped” “disabled” by any other party, public or private.
H. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provides
that it is a violation of the ADA to design and construct a facility that does not meet the accessibility and usability requirements of the ADA. The Client acknowledges that the requirements
of the ADA will be subject to various and possibility contradictory interpretations. The Architect therefore will use reasonable professional efforts to interpret applicable ADA requirements
as they apply to the project. The Architect, however, cannot and does not warrant or guarantee that the Client's project will comply with interpretations of the ADA requirements as they
apply to this Project.
I. The Architect has exercised reasonable care in preparing these Drawings to meet all discovered governing building codes and local, State and Federal regulations.
The Architect makes no warranty that the governing authorities will not request changes in design or construction after these drawings have been approved by such authorities, during
construction, after construction, or after occupancy.
The terms and conditions for this construction contract are detailed in American Institute of Architects; The General Conditions
of the Contract for Construction; AIA Document A201/CMa- 1992. All contractors, suppliers, vendors fabricators and subcontractors are hereby advised that their work shall conform with
the requirements of this Document and that this Document shall be considered the minimum acceptable standard used by the Architect to judge the performance, compliance, quality and acceptability
of all Work for the construction period, occupancy, and twelve-month post-occupancy warranty period. The Architect is the sole judge of such Work.
These documents were prepared under
the direct supervision, direction and control of the certifying architect, James R. Stutzman, Architect, and are representative only of the architectural design, aesthetic, and functional
aspects of the Work. The certifying architect is not responsible for the design, creation, or code compliance or code interpretation of portions of the work relating to other design
