ASBESTOS ABATEMENT. A. In the event the Contractor encounters material reasonably believed to be asbestos at the Site, the Contractor shall immediately stop work in the area affected and report the condition to the Owner. If in fact the material is asbestos and has not been abated, the Contractor shall not resume the non-asbestos-related Work in the affected area until the asbestos has been abated. B. The abatement action may be performed in any of three ways, as the Owner may decide. The Owner may perform the abatement by Owner’s own forces, or the Owner may contract with a third party to perform the abatement, or the Contractor may perform the abatement by an appropriate means acceptable to the Owner such as performing the Work through Contractor’s own employees if they are appropriately certified or by hiring an abatement subcontractor. C. If the Contractor is to perform the abatement, the Owner and the Contractor will negotiate a change order in accordance with the contract terms relative to extra work. In such a case, the Owner specifically agrees that the cost of any special comprehensive general liability insurance that may be required relative to the abatement Work will be considered a direct cost of the extra work, on which, like the other direct costs, the Contractor will be allowed to add the applicable markup per the UGC.
