Note: For clarification purposes the term Contractor used herein shall mean the "General Contractor" or "Prime Contractor", depending on the type of contract used and unless otherwise defined by the General or Supplementary Conditions of the Contract. For instance, where the work is done under a construction management contract, the term "Contractor" shall mean the "Construction Manager" and where flooring work is done directly under contract with an Owner (as in a renovation), the term "Contractor" shall mean the flooring contractor. In the later case, the Owner is to provide acceptable surfaces and conditions unless otherwise mutually agreed to between both parties.
