Common use of CHANGES TO THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS Clause in Contracts

CHANGES TO THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. 4.1 The Contract Time shall be reasonably extended for any delays caused by the Owner’s failure to complete finish selections according to the dates set in the Material Ordering Decision Date Schedule. Additionally, if Contractor is delayed at any time in the progress of the Work by changes to the Scope of Work, by labor disputes, fire, unusual delay in deliveries, abnormal adverse weather conditions, unavoidable casualties, lack of timely payment by Owner, any causes beyond Contractor's control, or by other claims which may justify delay, then the Contract Time shall be reasonably extended. 4.2 If the Owner gives direction to one of Contractor’s Subcontractors or vendors without first informing the Contractor of the change and the change materially deviates from the original Work, the Owner shall be responsible for the reasonable additional charges and the Contract Time shall be reasonably extended. 4.3 In the event that concealed or unknown physical conditions are encountered at the Work Site which materially differ from those disclosed in the Contract Documents and from those conditions ordinarily found to exist and the differences are likely to materially affect the scope of the Work or Contract Time, the Contract Time shall be equitably adjusted as mutually agreed between the Owner and Contractor; provided that the Contractor provides notice to the Owner promptly and before conditions are exasperated.
