Changed Conditions Sample Clauses
The Changed Conditions clause defines how unforeseen or differing site conditions encountered during a project are to be addressed. Typically, it allows a contractor to notify the owner if physical conditions at the site differ materially from those indicated in the contract documents or from what would normally be expected. This clause provides a mechanism for adjusting the contract price or schedule to account for these unexpected circumstances, thereby allocating the risk of unknown site conditions and ensuring that neither party is unfairly disadvantaged by surprises during performance.

Changed Conditions. If Owner discovers that one or more of the Warranties or one of the conditions referred to in the Warranties has changed after this Option Agreement is executed, through no fault of Owner, Owner will immediately inform Optionee, in writing, of that discovery. If the changed condition or Warranty cannot be cured within _________ (__) days of the date Owner discovers the change, then Optionee may terminate this Option Agreement (and its exercise of the Option, if any) by giving written notice of termination to Owner within _________ (__) days after receiving the notice from Owner, and all Option Money Payments previously paid by Optionee will be returned to Optionee. If the changed condition or Warranty can be corrected within _________ (__) days after discovery by Owner, Optionee will not have the right to terminate this Option Agreement under this section and Owner will correct the changed condition or Warranty within _________ (__) days of the discovery. If Optionee does not terminate this Option Agreement and the changed condition or Warranty can be corrected and is not corrected by the Closing Date, then Optionee will have the right to withhold 150% of the estimated costs of correcting the changed condition or Warranty until the changed condition is corrected, and Owner will correct the changed condition, at Owner’s sole expense and in an expeditious manner, failing which Optionee may use the withheld sums to make the correction. A change caused by Owner is deemed to be a breach of this Option Agreement by Owner if the change materially and adversely affects the Easement Property or Optionee’s rights.
Changed Conditions. The Contractor shall promptly, and before such conditions are disturbed, notify the County Project Manager in writing of:
i. Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing materially from those indicated in this Contract, or
ii. Unknown physical conditions at the site, of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in Work of the character provided for in this Contract.
iii. Material that the Contractor believes may be material that is hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II or Class III disposal site in accordance with provisions of existing law.
iv. County Project Manager will promptly investigate the conditions, and if, as a result, finds that such conditions do so materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost of, or the time required or performance of this Contract, an equitable adjustment in accordance with section 17 above, and Articles 32 and 46, shall be made and the Contract modified in writing accordingly. Any claim of the Contractor for adjustment hereunder shall not be allowed unless he has given notice as above required. In the event that a dispute arises between the County and the Contractor whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in the Contractor’s cost of, or, time required for, performance of any part of the Work, the Contractor shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided for by the Contract, but shall proceed with all Work to be performed under the Contract. The Contractor shall retain any and all rights provided either by Contract or by law which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting parties.

Changed Conditions. Contractor agrees that, by careful examination, it is satisfied as to the nature and location of the Services, the conformation of the ground, the character, quality, and quantity of the materials to be encountered, the character of equipment and facilities needed before beginning and for the Services, the general and local conditions, and all other matters, which can in any way affect the performance of the Services. Contractor specifically waives any claim for additional compensation for any changed condition arising out of any one or more of the following, unless such changed condition is caused in whole or in part by acts or omissions within the City’s control: (1) a physical condition of the site of an unusual nature; (2) any condition differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work or services of the character and at the location provided for in this Agreement; or (3) any force majeure.
Changed Conditions. 42.1 Notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the contrary, if conditions are encountered at the Project site which are (i) subsurface or otherwise concealed physical conditions which differ materially from those indicated in the Contract Documents, or (ii) 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, and which reasonably should not have been discovered by Construction Contractor as part of its scope of site investigative services required pursuant to the terms of the Contract Documents, then Construction Contractor shall provide Owner with prompt written notice thereof before conditions are disturbed and in no event later than seven (7) calendar days after first observance of such conditions. Owner and Design Professional shall promptly investigate such conditions and, if they differ materially and cause an increase or decrease in Construction Contractor’s cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of the Work, Owner will acknowledge and agree to an equitable adjustment to the Contract Amount or Contract Time, or both, for such Work. If Owner determines that the conditions at the site are not materially different from those indicated in the Contract Documents or not of an unusual nature or should have been discovered by Construction Contractor as part of its investigative services, and that no change in the terms of the Contract is justified, Owner shall so notify Construction Contractor in writing, stating its reasons. Claims by Construction Contractor in opposition to such determination by Owner must be made within seven (7) calendar days after Construction Contractor’s receipt of Owner’s written determination notice.
