SITE ACCESS, CONDITIONS AND SERVICES. 5.1 Site Conditions The Contractor is deemed to have examined the Data Room, the Site and the local conditions related to the performance of the Work to be performed at the Site and to be knowledgeable of the Site, including the Work Site and Contractor’s Work Area, and of all such conditions as would be apparent to a qualified and experienced contractor upon review of the Contract and inspection of the Site, including, as applicable, geotechnical and subsurface conditions, utilities, drainage, access, local weather, availability of labour, equipment and materials and any other relevant matters. Except as provided by the immediately following paragraph, the Contractor will not be entitled to, nor will the Contractor make any claim for, an adjustment to the Contract Price or the time for the performance of the Work on the basis that the actual Site or actual local conditions related to the performance of the Work are different than anticipated by the Contractor. Subject to the express provisions in the Contract, to the extent the actual Site or actual local conditions, or both, related to the performance of the Work differ from what would have been apparent to a qualified and experienced contractor upon review of the Contract and inspection of the Site as of the date the Contractor submitted its “Financial Submission” under RFP #6374 to BC Hydro, the Contractor will be entitled to claim a Change pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.1 of Schedule 12 [Changes], except that the Contractor’s notice obligation under Section 4.1 of Schedule 12 [Changes] will be to give written notice to Xxxxx’s Representative of: the difference, within one day after the Contractor becomes aware, or should reasonably have become aware, of the difference, and in any event prior to further disturbing the applicable conditions; any impact on the Contract Price or the time for the performance of the Work, promptly after the Contractor becomes able to provide a reasonable estimate of such; and any supplemental information, promptly after the Contractor receives, creates or becomes aware of such, with “promptly” being interpreted to mean, as soon as reasonably practicable after the earlier of the date of actual knowledge and the date that the Contractor should reasonably have obtained such knowledge.
SITE ACCESS, CONDITIONS AND SERVICES. The Contractor will perform the Work taking account of and complying with the requirements of Appendix 2-4 [Site Access, Conditions and Services]. BC Hydro anticipates that a condition of access to the Site for any person will be the possession of a valid access card issued by an entity designated by BC Hydro. Applications for an access card will be in accordance with the process as established by BC Hydro, and BC Hydro will issue an access card within 72 hours of receipt of a complete application. The Contractor will require all workers to carry a valid access card in a visible location at all times while at the Site.
