DB Contractor shall not be entitled to a Change Order for additional compensation with respect to the Hazardous Materials Management responsibilities set forth in Section 4.6.1. Entitlement to compensation shall be limited to work performed pursuant to DB Contractor’s Hazardous Materials Management Plan approved by TxDOT in accordance with Section 9.7.6.1 of the CMA Specification, and any Site Investigation Report or workplan for such Hazardous Materials as approved by TxDOT, in writing.

DB Contractor shall be deemed to have waived the right to collect any and all costs incurred in connection with any Hazardous Materials Management if TxDOT is not provided written notice of the discovery of Hazardous Materials and afforded the opportunity to inspect sites containing Hazardous Materials before any action is taken that would inhibit TxDOT’s ability to ascertain, based on a site inspection, the nature and extent of the materials. In the event of an Emergency involving Hazardous Materials, DB Contractor may take such limited actions as are required by Law without advance notice to TxDOT, but shall provide such notice immediately thereafter (which in no event shall be more than two hours after the incident by phone and 24 hours after the incident by written notice).
