Common use of Unforeseen Conditions Clause in Contracts

Unforeseen Conditions. The Contractor shall notify in writing the Owner’s Authorized Representative immediately but no later than ten (10) days after Contractor first knows or reasonably should have known of differing site conditions. Contractor shall to the extent possible without further disturbance of the specific area, perform other work while the unforeseen conditions are being investigated. The Owner’s Authorized Representative will investigate the area and make a determination as to whether or not the conditions differ materially from either the conditions stated in the Contract Documents or those which could reasonably be expected in execution of this particular Contract. If Contractor and the Owner’s Authorized Representative agree that a differing site condition exists, any additional compensation or additional Contract Time will be determined based on the process set forth in Section 4.A.8 for Change Order Work.
