In the event of such Disputed Work, the Contractor shall be obligated to proceed immediately upon notice from ATL to perform the Disputed Work and shall be compensated by ATL in accordance with time, Materials and Equipment rates in Exhibit C (Pricing Schedules) of this Contract. If there are no applicable rates in Exhibit C (Pricing Schedules), then ATL shall pay Contractor for the actual cost to obtain such Equipment and/or labor at the rate charged Contractor plus a 9% markup. The Contractor shall furnish weekly status reports regarding Disputed Work, including such documentation as ATL may require in order to support all costs of the Disputed Work. The Contractor agrees to maintain and furnish ATL with time and Materials records that will substantiate the Contractor’s costs for Disputed Work.
