Differing Subsurface of Physical Conditions Sample Clauses

Differing Subsurface of Physical Conditions. Contractor shall give prompt written notice to Engineer if any subsurface or physical condition is uncovered or revealed and either i) differs materially from that shown or indicated in the Contract Documents or the technical data or related documents or ii) is of a highly unusual nature, and differs materially from conditions ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work performed at the location. After receipt of Contractor’s written notice, Engineer will promptly review the condition, determine the necessity of obtaining additional exploration or tests, and advise Owner in writing of Engineer’s findings and conclusions. Contractor shall not further disturb such condition or perform any Work in connection therewith until receipt of written order from Engineer to do so. Absent an emergency, any Work performed by Contractor before receiving Engineer’s response will be at the sole expense of the Contractor. The Contract Price and/or the Contract Times may be equitably adjusted to the extent that the existence of such differing subsurface or physical condition causes an increase or decrease in Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of the Work. If Owner and Contractor cannot agree on entitlement to, or the amount or extent of, any adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times, or both, a Claim may be made. Provided, however, Contractor shall not be entitled to any adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Times if i) Contractor knew, or should have known, of the existence of such conditions at the time Contractor entered into the Contract; ii) the existence of such condition could reasonably have been discovered or revealed as a result of any examination, investigation, exploration, test, or study of the Site required by the Contract Documents to be conducted prior to Contractor’s entering into the Contract; or iii) Contractor failed to give the written notice as required.
