For all labor and forepersons in direct charge of the force account Work, excluding general superintendence, compensation will be as follows:
1) Certified Pay Rate: The Contractor will receive the actual rate of wage or scale as set forth in his most recent payroll for each classification of laborers, and forepersons who are in direct charge of the specific operation. The time allowed for payment will be the number of hours such Workers are actually engaged in the Work. If overtime Work is authorized by the County, payment will be at the normal overtime rate set forth in the Contractor’s most recent payroll.

If an order to change Work, deletes Work that is to be performed hereunder and such deletion results in a substantial reduction, in the opinion of Company, in the labor or materials to be furnished by Contractor hereunder then such reduction in Work shall be considered "Omitted Work" and Company shall be entitled to a reduction in the compensation to be paid Contractor as provided in Article 18.

The Engineer and the Contractor shall sign the record daily to indicate agreement on the Materials, Equipment, labor, and Special Services used for the Force Account Work performed on that day.
C. The Owner will not be responsible for additional costs that are a direct or indirect result of the Contractor's inefficient means and methods or that reasonably could have been avoided if the Materials, Equipment, labor or services had been obtained at a more commercially reasonable cost.
