modifying words such as "all" and "any" and articles such as
"the" and "an." but the fact that a modifier or an article is
absent from one statement and appears in another is not
intended to affect the interpretation of either statement.
1.3 OWNERSHIP AND USE OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
The Drawings, the Project Manual, and copies thereof are the
property of Owner. Contractor will not use these documents
on any other project. Contractor may retain one copy of the
Drawings and the Project Manual as a contract record set and
will return or destroy all remaining copies following final
completion of the Work.
SECTION 2 - OWNER
2.1 OWNER'S DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE
Owner will designate in writing a representative who will have
express authority to bind Owner with respect to all matters
requiring Owner's approval or authorization.
2.2 INFORMATION AND SERVICES REQUIRED OF OWNER
A. Owner will be responsible for establishment of property
lines and benchmarks for grading.
B. Owner will furnish to Contractor any information or services
it is required to furnish under the Contract Documents with -
reasonable promptness to avoid delay in the orderly
progress of the Work.

SECTION 3 - CONTRACTOR
3.1 REVIEW OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND FIELD
CONDITIONS BY CONTRACTOR
A. By executing the Agreement, Contractor represents that it
has visited the Project site, familiarized itself with the local
conditions under which the Work is to be performed, and
correlated its own observations with the requirements of the
Contract Documents.
B. Contractor will carefully review and compare the Contract
Documents and any other available information relating to
the Project prior to commencing and during performance of
each portion of the Work and will immediately report to
Architect any errors, inconsistencies, and omissions it
discovers.
C. Should Contractor or any of its Subcontractors become
aware of any question regarding the meaning or intent of
any part of the Contract Documents prior to commencing
that portion of the Work about which there is a question,
Contractor will request an interpretation or clarification from
Architect before proceeding. Contractor proceeds at its own
risk if it proceeds with the Work without first making such a
request and receiving an interpretation or clarification from
Architect. If neither Contractor nor its Subcontractors
become aware of the question until after work on the
relevant portion of the Work has commenced, then the
following precedence will govern for purposes of
determining whether resolution of the question constitutes a
Change in the Work:
1. The Agreement takes precedence over all other
Contract Documents.
2. The Supplementary Conditions take precedence over
the General Conditions.
3. The General Conditions and Supplementary
Conditions take precedence over the Drawings and the
Specifications.
4. An Addendum or a Modification take precedence over
the document(s) modified by the Addendum or
Modification.
5. The Specifications take precedence over the
Drawings.
6. Within the Drawings, larger scale drawings take prece-
dence over smaller scale drawings, figured dimensions
over scaled dimensions, and noted materials over
graphic indications.

F.
G.
Contractor will give Architect notice of any additional
drawings, specifications, or instructions required to define the
Work in greater detail, or to permit the proper progress of the
Work, sufficiently in advance of the need for information so as
not to delay the Work.
It is not Contractor's responsibility to ascertain that the
Contract Documents are In accordance with requirements of
applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, rules
and regulations. However, if Contractor observes that
portions of the Contract Documents are at variance with those
requirements, Contractor will immediately notify Architect in
writing. Contractor will not proceed unless Owner and/or
Architect effects Modifications to the Contract Documents
required for compliance with such requirements. Contractor
will be fully responsible for any work knowingly performed
contrary to such requirements and will fully indemnify Owner
against loss and bear all costs and penalties arising
therefrom.
Contractor will take field measurements and verify field
conditions and will compare such field measurements and
conditions and other information known to Contractor with the
Contract Documents before ordering any materials or
commencing construction activities. Contractor will
immediately report errors, inconsistencies, and omissions that
it discovers to Architect. If Contractor orders materials or
commences construction activities before taking field
measurements and verifying field conditions, Contractor will
not be entitled to any compensation for additional costs to
Contractor resulting from field measurements or conditions
different from those anticipated by Contractor which would
have been avoided had Contractor taken field measurements
and verified field conditions prior to ordering the materials or
commencing construction activities.
If site conditions indicated in the Contract Documents or other
information provided by Owner or Architect to Contractor differ
materially from those Contractor encounters in performance of
the Work, Contractor will immediately notify Architect in writing
of such differing site conditions.

construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures will be borne by Contractor, notwithstanding that
such construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures are referred to, indicated or implied by the
Contract Documents, unless Contractor has given timely
notice to Owner and Architect in writing that such means,
methods, techniques, sequences or procedures are not safe
or suitable, and Owner has then instructed Contractor in
writing to proceed at Owner's risk.

D. Contractor will remedy all damage or loss to any property
caused in whole or in part by Contractor, any Subcontractor,
or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable.
E. Contractor will be responsible for determining that all
materials furnished for the Work meet all requirements of
the Contract Documents. Architect may require Contractor
to produce reasonable evidence that a material meets such
requirements, such as certified reports of past tests by
qualified testing laboratories, reports of studies by qualified
experts, or other evidence which, in the opinion of Architect,
would lead to a reasonable certainty that any material used,
or proposed to be used, in the work meets the requirements
of the Contract Documents. All such data will be furnished
at Contractor's expense. This provision will not require
Contractor to pay for periodic testing of different batches of
the same material, unless such testing is specifically
required by the Contract Documents to be performed at
Contractor's expense.
F. Contractor will coordinate and supervise the work performed
by Subcontractors so that the Work is carried out without

ment furnished for the Work will be new unless otherwise
specified by the Contract Documents, and that the Work will
be free from defects, and will conform with the requirements
of the Contract Documents. Work not conforming to these

A. Contractor will indemnify and hold harmless Owner and
Owner's representatives, employees, agents, architects, and
consultants from and against any and all claims, damages,
liability, demands, costs, judgments, awards, settlements,
causes of action, losses and expenses (collectively "Claims"
or "Claim"), including but not limited to attorney fees,
consultant fees, expert fees, copy costs, and other expenses,
arising out of or resulting from performance of the Work,
attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease, or death, or to
injury to or destruction of real or personal property, including
loss of use resulting therefrom, except to the extent that such
liability arises out of the negligence of Owner, its
representatives, agents, and employees. This indemnity
includes, without limitation, indemnification of Owner from all
losses or injury to Owner's property, except to the extent that
such loss or injury arises out of the negligence of Owner, its
representatives, agents, and employees. This indemnity
applies, without limitation, to include Claims occurring both
during performance of the Work and/or subsequent to
completion of the Work. In the event that any Claim is caused
in part by a party indemnified hereunder, that party will bear
the cost of such Claim to the extent it was the cause thereof.
In the event that a claimant asserts a Claim for recovery
against any party indemnified hereunder, the party
indemnified hereunder may tender the defense of such Claim
to Contractor. If Contractor rejects such tender of defense and
it is later determined that the negligence of the party
indemnified hereunder did not cause all of the Claim,
Contractor will reimburse the party indemnified hereunder for
all costs and expenses incurred by that party in defending
against the Claim. Contractor will not be liable hereunder to
indemnify any party for damages resulting from the sole
negligence of that party.
B. In addition to the foregoing, Contractor will be liable to defend
Owner in any lawsuit filed by any Subcontractor relating to the
Project. Where liens have been fled against Owner's
property, Contractor (and/or its bonding company which has
issued bonds for the Project) will obtain lien releases and
record them in the appropriate county and/or local jurisdiction
and provide Owner with a title free and clear from any liens of
Subcontractors. In the event that Contractor and/or its
bonding company are unable to obtain a lien release, Owner
in its absolute discretion may require Contractor to provide a
bond around the lien or a bond to discharge the lien, at
Contractor's sole expense.
C. In addition to the foregoing, Contractor will indemnify and hold
Owner harmless from any claim of any other contractor
resulting from the performance, nonperformance or delay in
performance of the Work by Contractor.

details such as dimensions and quantities, or for substan-
tiating instructions for installation or performance of
equipment or systems, all of which remain the responsibility
of Contractor. Architect's review of Submittals will not
relieve Contractor of its obligations under the Contract
Documents. Architect's review of Submittals will not

any separate contractor for proper performance or results,
Contractor will inspect and promptly report to Architect any
apparent discrepancies or defects in such work that render

proper to receive Contractor's Work, except as to defects
not then reasonably discoverable.
C. Contractor will promptly remedy damage caused by
Contractor or any Subcontractor to the completed or
partially completed work of other contractors or to the

request previously certified, to such extent as may be

accordance with the Contract Documents.

3.7 — CONTRACTOR'S ON-SITE REPRESENTATIVE
BYU-Idaho Rev 03 January2015 Page 1 of 6
The Superintendent shall be present full-time at the Project site during the progress of the work.
THE FOLLOWING REPLACES SECTION 7.1 OF THE GENERAL CONDITIONS:
7.1 CHANGES IN THE WORK RESULTING FROM AN INSTRUCTION BY OWNER OR
ARCHITECT TO CONTRACTOR
A. The contract language contained in the Supplementary General Conditions take precedence over
all other change order pricing contract provisions in the contract documents. It is understood that
these contract provisions will govern the pricing and administration of all change order proposals
to be submitted by the General Contractor and/or the Trade Contractors and/or the
Subcontractors and/or all other lower tier sub -subcontractors (all referred to as "Contractor'). In
the event of a conflict between the other contract documents used for the project, these change
order pricing contract provisions shall govern.
B. Contractor agrees that it will incorporate the provisions into all agreements with lower tier
Contractors. It is understood that these change order pricing provisions apply to all types of
contracts and/or subcontracts specifically including lump sum (or fixed price contracts), unit price
contracts, and/or cost plus contracts. It is further understood that these change order provisions
will apply to all methods of change order pricing specifically including lump sum change order
proposals, unit price change order proposals, and cost plus change order proposals.
C. Whenever change order proposals to adjust the contract price become necessary, the Owner will
have the right to select the method of pricing to be used by the contractor in accordance with the
pricing provisions. The options will be (1) lump sum change order proposal, (2) unit price change
order proposal, or (3) cost plus change order proposal as defined in the following provisions.
1. Lump Sum Change Order Proposals: The Owner will require itemized change
orders on all change order proposals from the Contractor, subcontractors, and
sub -subcontractors regardless of tier. Details to be submitted will include
detailed line item estimates showing detailed materials quantity take -offs,
material prices by item and related labor hour pricing information and extensions
(by line item or by drawing as applicable.)
2. Labor: Estimated labor hours shall include hours only for those workmen and
working foremen directly involved in performing the change order work.
Supervision above the level of working foremen (such as general foremen,
superintendent, project manager, etc.) is considered to be included in the Markup
Percentages as outlined in paragraphs 1.6 and 1.7.
3. Labor Burden: Labor burden allowable in change orders shall be defined as
employer's net actual cost of payroll taxes (FICA, Medicare, SUTA, FUTA), net
actual cost for employer's cost of union benefits (or other usual and customary
fringe benefits if the employees are not union employees), and net actual cost to
employer for worker's compensation insurance taking into consideration
adjustments for experience modifiers, premium discounts, dividends, rebates,
expense constants, assigned risk pool costs, net cost reductions due to policies
with deductibles for self-insured losses, assigned risk rebates, etc. Contractor
shall reduce their standard payroll tax percentages to properly reflect the
effective cost reduction due to the estimated impact of the annual maximum
wages subject to payroll taxes.
4. Material: Estimated material change order costs shall reflect the Contractor's
reasonably anticipated net actual cost for the purchase of the material needed for
the change order work. Estimated material costs shall reflect cost reductions
available to the Contractor due to "non -Cash" discounts, trade discounts, free
material credits, and/or volume rebates. Price quotations from material suppliers
must be itemized with unit prices for each specific item to be purchased. "Lot
pricing" quotations will not be considered sufficient substantiating detail.
BYU-Idaho Rev 03 January 2015 Page 2 of 6
5. Equipment: Allowable change order estimated costs may include appropriate
amounts for rental of major equipment specifically needed to perform the change
order work (defined as tools and equipment with an individual purchase cost of
more than 750). For contractor owned equipment, the "bare" equipment rental
rates allowed to be used for pricing change order proposals shall be 75% of the
monthly rate listed in the most current publication of The AED Green Book
divided by 176 to arrive at a maximum hourly rate to be applied to the hours the
equipment is used performing the change order work. Further, for contractor
owned equipment the aggregate equipment rent charges for any single piece of
equipment used in all change order work shall be limited to 50% of the fair
market value of the piece of equipment when the first change order is priced
involving usage of the piece of equipment. Fuel necessary to operate the
equipment will be considered as a separate direct cost associated with the
change order work.
6. Maximum Markup Percentage Allowable on Self -Performed Work: With
respect to pricing change orders, the maximum Markup Percentage Fee to be
paid to any Contractor (regardless of tier) on self -performed work shall be a
single markup percentage not -to -exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the net direct
cost of (1) direct labor and allowable labor burden costs applicable to the
change order or extra work; (2) the net cost of material and installed equipment
incorporated into the change or extra work, and (3) net rental cost of major
equipment and related fuel costs necessary to complete the change in the
Work.
The markup computed using the above formula shall be considered to be
allocated 2/3 to cover applicable overhead costs directly attributable to the field
overhead costs related to processing, supervising and performing, the change
order work, and the remaining 1/3 to cover home office overhead costs and
profit.
Maximum Markup Percentages Allowable on Work Performed by Lower Tier
Contractors: With respect to pricing the portion of change order proposals
involving work performed by lower tier contractors, the maximum Markup
Percentage Fee allowable to the Contractor supervising the lower tier
contractor's work shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the net of all approved
change order work performed by all subcontractors combined for any particular
change order proposal.
The markup computed using the above formula shall be considered to be
allocated 2/3 to cover applicable overhead costs directly attributable to the field
overhead costs related to processing, supervising and performing the change
order work, and the remaining 1/3 to cover home office overhead costs and
profit.
8. No Markup on Bonds and Liability Insurance Costs: Change Order cost
adjustments due to increases or decreases in bond or insurance costs (if
applicable) shall not be subject to any Markup Percentage Fee.
9. Direct and Indirect Costs Covered by Markup Percentages: As a further
clarification, the agreed upon Markup Percentage Fee is intended to cover the
Contractor's profit and all indirect costs associated with the change order work.
Items intended to be covered by the Markup Percentage Fee include, but are not
limited to: home office expenses, branch office and field office overhead expense
of any kind; project management; superintendents, general foremen; estimating,
engineering; coordinating; expediting; purchasing; detailing; legal, accounting,
data processing or other administrative expenses; shop drawings; permits; auto
insurance and umbrella insurance; pick-up truck costs; and warranty expense
costs. The cost for the use of small toots is also to be considered covered by the
Markup Percentage Fee. Small tools shall be defined as tools and equipment
BYU-Idaho Rev 03 January 2015 Page 3 of 6
(power or non -power) with an individual purchase cost of less than $750.
10. Deduct Change Orders and Net Deduct Changes: The application of the
markup percentages referenced in the preceding paragraphs 1.6 and 1.7 will
apply to both additive and deductive change orders. In the case of a deductive
change order, the credit will be computed by applying the sliding scale
percentages as outlined in paragraphs 1.6 and 1.7 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.
11. Contingency: In no event will any lump sum or percentage amounts for
"contingency" be allowed to be added as a separate line item in change order
estimates. Unknowns attributable to labor hours will be accounted for when
estimating labor hours anticipated to perform the work. Unknowns attributable to
material scrap and waste will be estimated as part of material costs.
12. Change Order Proposal Time and Change Directives: The Contractor's
proposals for changes in the contract amount or time shall be submitted within
seven (7) calendar days of the Owner's request, unless the Owner extends such
period of time due to the circumstances involved. If such proposals are not
received in a timely manner, if the proposals are not acceptable to Owner, or if
the changed work should be started immediately to avoid damage to the project
or costly delay, the Owner may direct the Contractor to proceed with the changes
without waiting for the Contractor's proposal or for the formal change order to be
issued. In the case of an unacceptable Contractor proposal, the Owner may
direct the Contractor to proceed with the changed work on a cost-plus basis with
an agreed upon "not -to -exceed" price for the work to be performed. Such
directions to the Contractor by the Owner shall be confirmed in writing by a
"Notice to Proceed on Changes" letter within seven (7) calendar days. The cost
or credit, and or time extensions will be determined by negotiations as soon as
practical thereafter and incorporated in a Change Order to the Contract.
THE FOLLOWING ADDS SECTION 7.9 OF THE GENERAL CONDITIONS:
7.9 Owner's Right to Audit
A. Liability Insurance and Bonds: In the event the Contractor has been required to
furnish comprehensive general liability insurance and/or performance and/or payment
bonds as part of the base contract price, a final contract change order will be processed
to account for the Contractor's net increase or decrease in comprehensive general
liability insurance costs and/or bond premium costs associated with change orders to
Contractor's base contract price.
B. Accurate Change Order Pricing Information: Contractor (subcontractor or sub -sub
contractor) agrees that it is responsible for submitting accurate cost and pricing data to
support its Lump Sum Change and/or Cost Plus Change Order Proposals or other
contract price adjustments under the contract. Contractor further agrees to submit
change order proposals with cost and pricing data which is accurate, complete, current,
and in accordance with the terms of the contract with respect to pricing of change orders.
Right to Verify Change Order Pricing Information: Contractor, subcontractor and sub -
sub -contractor agrees that any designated Owner's representative will have the right to
examine (copy or scan) the records of the Contractor, subcontractor or sub -sub
contractor's records (during the contract period and up to three years after final payment
is made on the contract) to verify the accuracy and appropriateness of the pricing data
used to price all change order proposals and/or claims. Contractor agrees that if the
BYU-Idaho Rev 03 January 2015 Page 4 of 6
Owner determines the cost and pricing data submitted (whether approved or not) was
inaccurate, incomplete, not current, or not in compliance with the terms of the contract _
regarding pricing of change orders, an appropriate contract price adjustment will be
made. Such post -approval contract price adjustments will apply to all levels of
contractors and/or subcontractors and to all types of change order proposals specifically
including lump sum change orders, unit price change orders, and cost-plus change
orders.
D. Requirements for Detailed Change Order Pricing Information: Contractor,
subcontractor agrees to provide and require all Subcontractors and sub -subcontractors to
provide a breakdown of allowable labor and labor burden cost information as outlined in
this Exhibit "A". This information will be used to evaluate the potential cost of labor and
labor burden related to change order work. It is intended that this information represent
an accurate estimate of the Contractor's actual labor and labor burden cost components.
This information is not intended to establish fixed billing or change order pricing labor
rates. However, at the time change orders are priced, the submitted cost data for labor
rates may be used to price change order work. The accuracy of any such agreed upon
labor cost components used to price change orders will be subject to later audit.
Approved change order amounts may be adjusted later to correct the impact of
inaccurate labor cost components if the agreed upon labor cost components are
determined to be inaccurate.
THE FOLLOWING REPLACES SECTION 9.5 OF THE GENERAL CONDITIONS:
9.5 PROGRESS PAYMENTS
A. Owner will pay Contractor progress payments within the parameters of Section 9.2 within fifteen (15)
days after:
1. Contractor has submitted a progress payment request;
2. Contractor has submitted Conditional Waiver and Release Upon Progress Payment documents
executed by each of the subcontractors performing work and/or providing materials covered by
the Contractor's progress payment request; and
3. Owner receives the certified payment request from Architect.
B. After Contractor achieves Substantial Completion and submits its payment request for retained
funds and delivers to the Architect Owner's form entitled "Contractor's Substantial Completion
Affidavit and Consent of Surety" fully executed by Contractor and its surety, if any, and provides
statutory Conditional Waiver and Release documents executed by all subcontractors and suppliers
having claim against the retained funds, Owner will pay any unpaid retention less any amounts
withheld pursuant to Section 9.4 within forty-five (45) days from the later of (a) the date Owner
received Contractor's payment request for retained funds and fully executed Contractor's Substantial
Completion Affidavit and Consent of Surety, (b) the date a certificate of occupancy is issued; (c) the
date that a building inspector having authority to issue its own certificate of occupancy does not
issue that certificate but permits occupancy.
C. Owner will make payments to Contractor by either placing the payments in the United States mail
addressed to Contractor or by electronic transfer at Owner's discretion.
D. Upon receipt of any payment from Owner, Contractor will pay to each Subcontractor the amount
paid to Contractor on account of such Subcontractor's portion of the Work.
E. Contractor will maintain a copy of each payment request at the Project site for review by the Subcon-
tractors.
F. No payment made under the Contract Documents, either in whole or in part, will be construed to be
an acceptance of defective or improper materials or workmanship.
G. In addition and notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner will also withhold and retain 5% of payments
BYU-Idaho Rev 03 January 2015 Page 5 of 6
made to Contractor. These retention funds will be held in an interest bearing account.
THE FOLLOWING REPLACES SECTION 9.6 OF THE GENERAL CONDITIONS:
9.6 FINAL PAYMENT
A. Owner will make full and final payment of the Contract Sum within thirty (30) days of the completion
of all of the following requirements:
1. Contractor has submitted its final payment request;

each of the subcontractors performing work and/or providing materials covered by the
Contractor's final payment request; and

B. Acceptance of final payment by Contractor or any Subcontractor will constitute a waiver of claims by
the payee except for those claims previously made in writing pursuant to Section 7 and identified by
Contractor in its affidavit as still pending.
C. If the aggregate of previous payments made by Owner exceeds the amount due Contractor,
Contractor will reimburse the difference to Owner.

PART 3 -EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Erosion and Sedimentation Control: Examine the site to verify that temporary erosion- and
sedimentation -control measures are in place. Verify that flows of water redirected from
construction areas or generated by construction activity do not enter or cross protection zones.
B. For the record, prepare written report, endorsed by arborist, listing conditions detrimental to tree
and plant protection.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Locate and clearly identify trees, shrubs, and other vegetation to remain or to be relocated. Flag
each tree trunk at 54 inches above the ground.
B. Protect tree root systems from damage caused by runoff or spillage of noxious materials while
mixing, placing, or storing construction materials. Protect root systems from ponding, eroding,
or excessive wetting caused by dewatering operations.
C. Tree -Protection Zones: Mulch areas inside tree -protection zones and other areas indicated.
Apply 4 -inch average thickness of organic mulch. Do not place mulch within 6 inches of
tree trunks.
3.3 TREE- AND PLANT -PROTECTION ZONES
A. Protection -Zone Fencing: Install protection -zone fencing along edges of protection zones before
materials or equipment are brought on the site and construction operations begin in a manner
that will prevent people and animals from easily entering protected area except by entrance
gates. Construct fencing so as not to obstruct safe passage or visibility at vehicle intersections
where fencing is located adjacent to pedestrian walkways or in close proximity to street
intersections, drives, or other vehicular circulation.
1. Chain -Link Fencing: Install to comply with ASTM F 567 and with manufacturer's written
instructions.
2. Posts: Set or drive posts into ground one-third the total height of the fence without
concrete footings. Where a post is located on existing paving or concrete to remain,
provide appropriate means of post support acceptable to Architect.
3. Access Gates: Install; adjust to operate smoothly, easily, and quietly, free of binding,
warp, excessive deflection, distortion, nonalignment, misplacement, disruption, or
malfunction, throughout entire operational range. Confirm that latches and locks engage
accurately and securely without forcing or binding.

jacking. Do not cut main lateral tree roots or taproots; cut only smaller roots that interfere with
installation of utilities. Cut roots as required for root pruning.
C. Redirect roots in backfill areas where possible. If encountering large, main lateral roots, expose
roots beyond excavation limits as required to bend and redirect them without breaking. If
encountered immediately adjacent to location of new construction and redirection is not
practical, cut roots approximately 3 inches back from new construction and as required for root
pruning.
D. Do not allow exposed roots to dry out before placing permanent backfill. Provide temporary
earth cover or pack with peat moss and wrap with burlap. Water and maintain in a moist
condition. Temporarily support and protect roots from damage until they are permanently
relocated and covered with soil.
3.5 ROOT PRUNING
A. Prune roots that are affected by temporary and permanent construction. Prune roots as follows:
1. Cut roots manually by digging a trench and cutting exposed roots with sharp pruning
instruments; do not break, tear, chop, or slant the cuts. Do not use a backhoe or other
equipment that rips, tears, or pulls roots.
2. Temporarily support and protect roots from damage until they are permanently redirected
and covered with soil.
3. Cover exposed roots with burlap and water regularly.
4. Backfill as soon as possible according to requirements in Division 31 Section "Earth
Moving."
