Use of Site and Site Information. A. The Contractor shall be responsible for inspection of existing conditions as satisfactory to receive subsequent Work. If existing conditions exist on the Project Site which in the opinion of the Contractor will require Work in excess of that anticipated by the Scope of Work and Price as set forth in the Purchase Order, the Contractor shall give Notice of such conditions and not proceed with the Work until receiving written direction from the Owner. If the Owner agrees that the existing conditions require Work in excess of that anticipated by the Scope of Work and Price as set forth in the Purchase Order, a Change Order to the Purchase Order will be issued stating the impact as agreed by Owner. If the Owner does not agree that the existing conditions require Work in excess of that anticipated by the Scope of Work and Price as set forth in the Purchase Order, the Contractor shall proceed with the Work. If the Contractor disagrees with the Owner’s determination, the Contractor may submit a claim as provided in these Terms and Conditions. If the Contractor proceeds with such Work before receiving such written direction from the Owner, such action shall be deemed a failure to comply with this condition precedent for pursuit of any claim and such Work shall be at Contractor’s expense.
