Changes in the Work
A Change Order is a written order to the Contractor signed by the Owner and the Engineer,
issued after execution of the Contract, authorizing a change in the work or an adjustment in the
Contract Sum or the Contract Time. The Contract Sum and the Contract Time may be changed
only by Change Order. A Change Order signed by the Contractor indicating his agreement
therewith, including the adjustment in the Contract Sum or the Contract Time.

10.
Changes in the Work (Continued)
The Owner, without invalidating the ConU act, may order changes in the work within the general
scope of the Contract consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, the Contract Sum, and
the Contract Time being adjusted accordingly. All such changes in the work shall be authorized
by Change Order, and shall be performed under the applicable conditions of the Contract
Documents.
The cost or credit to the Owner resulting from a change in the work shall be determined in one or
more of the following ways:
a. by mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient
substantiating data to permit evaluation;
b. by unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon;
c. by cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually acceptable
fixed or percentage fee.
If the Contractor wishes to make a claim for an increase in the Contract Sum, he shall give the
Engineer written notice immediately after the occurrence of the event, giving rise to such claim.
This notice shall be given by the Contractor.
The Engineer will have authority to order minor changes in the work not involving an adjustment
in the Contract Sum or an extension of the Contract Time and not inconsistent with the intent of
the Contract Documents. Such changes shall be effected by written order, and shall be binding on
the Owner and the Contractor. The Contractor shall carry out such written orders promptly.
11. Uncovering and Correction of Work
If any portion of the work should be covered contrary to the request of the Engineer or to
requirements specifically expressed in the Contract Documents, it must, if required in writing by
the Engineer, be uncovered for his observation and shall be replaced at the Contractor's expense.
If any other portion of the work has been covered which the Engineer has not specifically
requested to observe prior to being covered, the Engineer may request to see such work and it
shall be uncovered by the Contractor. If such work be found not in accordance with the Contract
Documents, the Contractor shall pay such costs unless it be found that this condition was caused
by the Owner or a separate contractor, in which event the Owner shall be responsible for the
payment of such costs.
Xf Contractor shall promptly correct all work rejected by the Engineer as defective or as failing to
conform to the Contract Documents whether observed before or after completion and whether or
not installed or completed. The Contractor shall bear all costs of correcting such rejected work,
including compensation for the Engineer's additional services made necessary thereby.

Uncovering and Correction of Work (Continued)
If, within two years after the Date of Completion of the work, any of the work is found to be
defective or not in accordance with the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall co~rect it
promptly at~er receipt ora written not~ce fi.om the Owner to do so un/ess the Owner has
previously given the Contractor a written acceptance of such condition. This obligation shall
survive termination of the Contract. The Owner shall give such notice promptly after discovery
of the condition.
The Contractor shall remove from the site all portions of the work which are defective or non-
conforming unless removal is waived by the Owner.
If the Owner prefers to accept defective or non-conforming work, he may do so instead of
requiring its removal and correction: in which case, a Change Order will be issued to reflect a
reduction in the Contract Sum where appropriate and equitable. Such adjustment shall be
effected whether or not final payment has been made.
12. Termination of the Contract
If the work is stopped for a period of thirty (30) days under an order of any court or other public
authority having jurisdiction, or as a result of an act of government, such as a declaration of a
national emergency making materials unavailable, through no act or fault of the Contractor or a
Subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other persons performing any of the work
under a contract with the Contractor, then the Contractor may, upon seven additional days~
written notice to the Owner and the Engineer, terminate the Contract and recover fi:om the Owner
payment for all work executed and for any proven loss sustained upon any materials, equipment,
tools, construction equipment and machinery, including reasonable profit and damages.
If the Contractor is adjudged a bankrupt, or if he makes a general assignment for the benefit of
his creditors, or if a receiver is appointed on account of his insolvency or if be persistently or
repeatedly refuses or fails, except in cases for which extension of time is provided, to supply
enough properly skilled workmen or proper materials, or if materials or labor, or persistently
disregards laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or offers of any public authority having
jurisdiction, or otherwise is guilty or a substantial violation of a provision of the Contract
Documents, then the cause exists to justify such action, may, without prejudice to any right or
remedy and after giving the Contractor and his surety, if any, seven days written notice, terminate
the employment of the Contractor and take possession of the site and of all materials, equipment,
tools, construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Contractor and may finish the
work by whatever method he may deem expedient. In such case, the Contractor shall not be
entitled to receive any payment until the work is fmisbed.
If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum exceeds the cost of finishing the work, including
compensation for the Engineer, additional services made necessary thereby, such excess shall be
paid to the Contractor. If such costs exceed the unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay the
difference to the Owner. The amount to be paid to the Contractor or to the Owner, as the case
may be, shall be certified by the Engineer, upon application, and this obligation for payment shall
survive the termination of the Contract.
