Claims for Concealed or Unknown Conditions. If conditions are encountered at the site which are (1) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents or (2) unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract Documents, then notice by the observing party shall be given to the other party promptly before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than twenty-one (21) days after first observance of the conditions. The Architect will promptly investigate such conditions and, if they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, will recommend an equitable adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, or both. If the Architect determines that the conditions at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents and that no change in the terms of the Contract is justified, the Architect shall so notify the Owner and Contractor in writing, stating the reasons. Claims by either party in opposition to such determination must be made within twenty-one (21) days after the Architect has given notice of the decision. If the Owner and Contractor cannot agree on an adjustment in the Contract Sum or Contract Time, the adjustment shall be referred to the Architect for initial determination, subject to further proceedings pursuant to Paragraph 4.4.
Claims for Concealed or Unknown Conditions. If conditions are encountered at the Site which are subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents, or comprise unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature which differ materially from those ordinarily found to exist and are generally recognized as inherent in construction activities of the character provided for in the Contract Documents; then the Contractor shall inform the Project Architect of the materially different field conditions in writing within 14 days after first observance of the conditions, or within 14 days after the Contractor would have reasonably first recognized the materially different field conditions. The Architect will promptly investigate and report to the Owner if field conditions were found to be materially different than those which could have been reasonably found given the criteria indicated above. If field conditions are found to be materially different, the Owner shall prepare a Construction Change Order providing an equitable adjustment in Contract Amount and/or Contract Time. If the Owner determines that the conditions at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents and that no change in the terms of the contract are justified, the Owner shall so notify the Contractor in writing stating the reasons.
