Common use of Urgent Works Clause in Contracts

Urgent Works. If any Urgent Work (in respect, whereof the decision of the Engineer and in his absence that of an Inspecting Officer shall be final and binding) becomes necessary and the contractor is unable or unwilling at once to carry out, the Engineer, or the Inspecting Officer, may by his own or other work people, carry it out as he may consider necessary. If the urgent work shall be such as the contractor is liable under the contract to carry out at his expense all expense incurred on it by the NRDA shall be recoverable from the contractor and be adjusted or set off against any sum payable to him.
