Surface and Subsurface Conditions Clause Samples

The Surface and Subsurface Conditions clause defines the responsibilities and expectations regarding the physical state of the project site, both above and below ground. It typically requires the contractor to investigate and familiarize themselves with the site’s visible and hidden conditions before commencing work, and may outline procedures for addressing unexpected discoveries such as rock formations, groundwater, or buried utilities. This clause helps allocate risk by clarifying who bears responsibility for unforeseen site conditions, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring that all parties are aware of potential challenges before construction begins.
Surface and Subsurface Conditions. The Subcontractor shall inspect surface and/or subsurface conditions affecting the Subcontract Work to assure that the Subcontract Work will be properly performed in accordance with the applicable Contract Documents. If any remedial work is required to the surface or subsurface, Subcontractor shall immediately notify Contractor in writing. IF SUBCONTRACTOR PERFORMS SUBCONTRACT WORK WITHOUT PROVIDING NOTICE THAT SUCH REMEDIAL WORK IS REQUIRED, SUBCONTRACTOR ACCEPTS ALL SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS AND WAIVES ANY CLAIMS FOR EXTRA COMPENSATION TO REPAIR OR REMEDY SUCH CONDITIONS OR FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE SUBCONTRACT WORK ARISING OR RESULTING FROM DEFECTS IN THE SURFACE OR SUSURFACE.

Surface and Subsurface Conditions. Owner has provided Contractor with the preliminary geotechnical reports (the “Subsurface Reports”) as set forth on Exhibit AA. Contractor’s design set forth in Exhibit A is based upon such Subsurface Reports. Owner has not made and shall make no express or implied warranty to Contractor as to the accuracy and completeness of any subsurface information that has been or may be supplied by Owner to Contractor (including the Subsurface Reports), and Owner shall not be liable for breach of any representation or warranty to Contractor for any such information provided by Owner with respect to the Site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor has not made any independent inspection of the subsurface conditions nor has it verified the accuracy of the Subsurface Reports. Contractor expressly assumes any and all costs and risks associated with performing the Work as it relates to known subsurface conditions at the Site, including buried structures, and subsurface conditions, to the extent the same are forth in the Subsurface Reports or the Phase I and II environmental site assessment reports described in Appendices Q and R of Exhibit A (“Environmental Reports”), and any subsurface conditions that should have been reasonably expected to exist at the Site based upon the subsurface characteristics of the Site and the results of the Subsurface Reports and Environmental Reports. Contractor acknowledges that Owner and Contractor will be required to provide continued access to certain infrastructure and monitoring ▇▇▇▇▇ located on the Site to enable the owner of the nearby Ormet Superfund site to the east of the Site to comply with such owner’s ongoing site monitoring and remediation obligations. To the extent that actual surface or subsurface conditions at the Project Site differ from (i) the subsurface conditions known and disclosed in the Subsurface Reports and Environmental Reports or (ii) known conditions (with Contractor being deemed to have knowledge of all surface conditions existing at the Site as of the date of Contractor’s inspection of the Site, which inspection shall occur not later than thirty (30) days after Owner provides written notice that Owner’s demolition contractor has substantially completed its demolition work, which is targeted for completion by March 15, 2019), including subsurface conditions which are ordinarily encountered and that should have been reasonably expected (in quantity and nature) to exist at the Site based upon the results of the ...

Related to Surface and Subsurface Conditions

  • Subsurface Conditions Unless the Contract Documents stipulate specific quantities and units of rock or unsuitable soils, the Contractor shall assume material below the surface of the Earth to be earth and other material that can be removed by power shovel or similar equipment. Should conditions encountered below the surface of the ground be at variance to the number of unit requirements as indicated by drawings or specifications, and absent an agreed-upon unit price established prior to the bid by Addendum, or after contract execution by Change Order, the Contract Sum and/or time shall be adjusted as provided in the Contract Documents for changes in the work.

  • Unsafe Conditions In accordance with 29 CFR § 1977, occasions might arise when an employee is confronted with a choice between not performing assigned tasks or subjecting himself/herself to serious injury or death arising from a hazardous condition at the workplace. If the employee, with no reasonable alternative, refuses in good faith to expose himself/herself to the dangerous condition, he/she would be protected against subsequent discrimination. The condition causing the employee's apprehension of death or injury must be of such a nature that a reasonable person, under the circumstances then confronting the employee, would conclude that there is a real danger of death or serious injury and that there is insufficient time, due to the urgency of the situation, to eliminate the danger by resorting to regular statutory enforcement channels. In addition, in such circumstances, the employee, where possible, must also have sought from his Employer, and been unable to obtain, a correction of the dangerous condition.

  • Safe Conditions Whenever an employee reports a condition which the employee feels represents a violation of safety or health rules and regulations or which is an unreasonable hazard to persons or property, such conditions shall be promptly investigated. The appropriate administrator shall reply to the concern, in writing, if the employee's concern is communicated in writing.
