Subject to adjustment as appropriate pursuant to Section 4.3, Contractor agrees and acknowledges that it is sufficiently familiar with the Site (to the extent related to the Work) and the Off-Site Rights of Way and Easements to perform the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule, and understands the climate, terrain, logistics, and other difficulties that it may encounter in performing the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including Contractor’s rights pursuant to Section 6.8A, Contractor waives any right to claim an adjustment in the Contract Price or the Project Schedule in respect of any failure to timely perform the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule as a result of any of the following conditions at the Site: (i) river levels, topography; (ii) climatic conditions, tides, and seasons; (iii) availability of laborers, Subcontractors, Sub-subcontractors, Construction Equipment or any other items or supplies; (iv) adequate availability and transportation of Equipment; and (v) breakdown or other failure of Construction Equipment; provided, however, that Contractor does not assume the risk or waive its rights with respect to those conditions in Section 2.5B.2. This Section 2.5B.1 shall not affect the rights of Contractor with respect to Change Orders in accordance with Section 4.3. 2. If Contractor encounters Subsurface Soil Conditions (including any subsurface man-made objects, e.g. below grade tanks, vaults or pipelines) that (i) are materially different from the information regarding such Subsurface Soil Conditions as provided in the Geotechnical Reports (including the encountering of Subsurface Soil Conditions that could not reasonably be anticipated by Contractor using GECP based on the information provided in the Geotechnical Reports) and (ii) adversely affects (a) Contractor’s costs of performance of the Work, (b) Contractor’s ability to perform the Work in accordance with the Project Schedule or (c) Contractor’s ability to perform any material obligation under this Agreement, Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order; provided that Contractor complies with the requirements set forth in Sections 6.2, 6.5 and 6.9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.5B.2, to the extent Contractor encounters Pre-Existing Contamination, then Section 3.17 shall control.
