Intent:

2.1 The Contract Documents comprise the entire Agreement between the COUNTY and CONTRACTOR

concerning the Work. The Contract Documents are complementary: what is called for by one is as

binding as if called for by all. The Contract Documents will be construed in accordance with the law

of the place of the Project.

2.2 It is the intent of the Contract Documents to describe a functionally complete Project or Service (or

part thereof) to be constructed in accordance with the Contract Documents. Any Work, materials or

equipment that may reasonably be inferred from the Contract Documents as being required to

produce the intended result will be supplied whether or not specifically called for. When words

which have a well-known technical or trade meaning are used to describe Work, materials or

equipment such words shall be interpreted in accordance with that meaning. Reference to standard

specifications, manuals or codes of any technical society, organization or association, or to the Laws

or Regulations of any governmental authority, whether such reference be specific or by implication,

shall mean the latest standard specification, manual, code or Laws or Regulations in effect at the

time of opening of Bids (or, on the Effective Date of the Agreement if there were no Bids), except as

may be otherwise specifically stated. However, no provision of any referenced standard

specification, manual or code (whether or not specifically incorporated by reference in the Contract

Documents) shall be effective to change the duties and responsibilities of the County, the Towns or

CONTRACTOR, or any of their agents or employees from those set forth in the Contract Documents,

nor the Notice to Proceed.
