This bond shall be effective and in force for one year from the date of completion of the contract as a guarantee for the replacement of work and material which may prove defective during that time unless a maintenance bond for five percent of the amount of the contract shall be substituted therefor, as provided in paragraph 3 of the General Conditions, or unless otherwise provided herein.

Detail Drawings and Instructions The Supervising Architect shall furnish with reasonable promptness, additional instructions by means of drawings or otherwise, necessary for the proper execution of the work. All such drawings and instructions shall be consistent with the Contract Documents, true developments thereof, and Reasonably inferable therefrom.
