<br />Contract Documents.
<br />2. No provision of any such standard,
<br />specification, manual or code, or any

<br />OWNER, CONTRACTOR, or ENGINEER, or

<br />(whether or not specifically incorporated by
<br />reference in the Contract Documents); or
<br />b. the provisions of any Laws or
<br />Regulations applicable to the performance
