Emergency Changes. Changes in the Work agreed by the Trustees to be made necessary due to unforeseen site conditions, discovery of errors in the Contract Documents requiring immediate clarification in order to avoid a serious Work stoppage, changes of a kind where the extent cannot be determined until completed, or under any circumstances whatsoever when deemed necessary by the Trustees are kinds of emergency changes which may be authorized by the Trustees in writing to the Licensee. The Licensee shall commence performance of the emergency change immediately upon receipt of written direction from the Trustees.

If agreement is not reached as to compensation and/or time adjustment at the time of commencing the emergency change, then compensation and/or time extension, as appropriate, will be as provided in Article 38.01-c, that is, time and materials records and summaries shall be witnessed and maintained until either a lump sum payment and/or a time extension, as provided in Article 38.01-d, is agreed upon, or the changed Work is completed.
