<br />00700 - 7/38 <br /> <br />A. The CONTRACTOR shall notify the ENGINEER in writing of the following <br />unforeseen conditions, hereinafter called differing site conditions, promptly upon <br />their discovery (but in no event later than fourteen (14) days) and before they are <br />disturbed: <br /> <br />1. Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site of the Work differing <br />materially from those indicated, described, or delineated in the Contract <br />Documents including; and <br /> <br />2. Unknown physical conditions at the site of the Work of an unusual nature <br />differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally <br />recognized as inherent in Work of the character provided for in the <br />Contract. <br /> <br />B. The ENGINEER will review the pertinent conditions, determine the necessity of <br />obtaining additional explorations or tests with respect thereto and advise the <br />OWNER in writing of the ENGINEER's findings and conclusions. <br /> <br />C. If the OWNER concludes that because of newly discovered conditions a change <br />in the Contract Documents is required, a Change Order will be issued as <br />provided in Article 10 to reflect and document the consequences of the <br />difference. <br /> <br />D. In each such case, an increase or decrease in the Contract Price or an extension <br />or shortening of the Contract Time, or any combination thereof, will be allowable <br />to the extent that they are attributable to any such difference. If the OWNER and <br />the CONTRACTOR are unable to agree as to the amount or length thereof, a <br />claim may be made therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12. <br /> <br />E. The CONTRACTOR's failure to give notice of differing site conditions within <br />fourteen (14) days of their discovery or before they are disturbed shall constitute <br />a waiver of all claims in connection therewith, whether direct or consequential in <br />nature. <br /> <br />4.3 PHYSICAL CONDITIONS - UNDERGROUND UTILITIES <br /> <br />A. Shown or Indicated: The information and data shown or indicated in the Contract <br />Documents with respect to existing Underground Utilities at or contiguous to the <br />site are based on information and data furnished to the OWNER or the <br />ENGINEER by the owners of such Underground Utilities or by others. Unless it <br />is expressly provided in the Supplementary General Conditions and/or the <br />Section entitled "Protection of Existing Facilities" of the General Requirements, <br />the OWNER and the ENGINEER shall not be responsible for the accuracy or <br />completeness of any such information or data, and the CONTRACTOR shall <br />have full responsibility for reviewing and checking all such information and data, <br />and perform soft digs as required for locating all Underground Utilities shown or <br />indicated in the Contract Documents, for coordination of the Work with the <br />owners of such Underground Utilities during construction, for the safety and <br />protection thereof and repairing any damage thereto resulting from the Work, the <br />cost of which will be considered as having been included in the Contract Price.
